I'm voting for Gary Johnson (Liberatrian). Obama would be my last choice.

I felt the same way until I realized that I live in FL where my vote has a better chance of determining the president unlike someone voting in NY, CA or TX. FL decided the president by 500 votes in 2000.

While Johnson more closely mirrors my political views, I am going to suck it up and vote Romney

Ron Paul > Gary Johnson. But if I had to choose between Obama and Romney, its a no brainer.

I know that if Obamacare is fully implemented, I will cut all full-time staff and all of them will receive less than 30hrs a week which is the defined full-time status under the Obamacare. That's not some made up foxnews rhetoric, that's a fact.

Majority of small business owners will do the same.

Let's take from the wealthy and give it to the poor. Socialism. Why should people bother working hard, saving, and opening up their own business? Small business owners will be the only ones suffering because history shows poor makes the mega-wealthy wealthier. This country needs to be a republic once again. Democracy is a failure because 51% decides how 49% should live. Soon we may determine who's worth the air they breath.

This country is a republic. We have never been a pure democracy. That is why we vote for people to represent us in Washington and Tallahassee. If we were a pure democracy, everything would be put up for popular vote.

Out of curiosity, why is Obama's name on the poll italicized?

Because that's who you voted for.

His name is not italicized on mine. No way, no how.

For those interested you will be allowed to vote 10 prior to the election at a variety of places - Winter Park Library, Library at Semoran and Hoffner, downtown Library, the election Board on Kaley and several other places. You will need to bring a photo and signature ID otherwise you will be given a provisional ballot ( these are historically not counted)

Vote Early ( but not often) If you vote on election day you will go to your regular polling place. If you vote early you can go to any of the places mentioned.

Not a Orlando resident but fins this topic interesting. I think Romney will win FL. Part of me wants to see where we go with 4 more yrs of Obama, part of me wants to see what Romney can do.
