Considering that many states have only the two choices, I disagree. Last election, we only had R/D/L to choose from, and write-ins were not counted.

As for gold Nov day, the past few elections have been anything other than cold I will let you know.
Up north, it will be slightly chilly. Coupled with it getting darker earlier that time of year, it puts a damper on waiting in line for someone you really don't care about.

So go ahead, stay home, eat pizza and don't say a word about what is happening in our country, you have to rights if you do not vote.
See above.

No reason to change my mind when he continues to prove to have been the best choice in 2008 and likely, 2012.

I find it ironic that the same slobbering crowd who spouted off the patriotic BS and 'if you ain't fo the war, then you ain't no true merican' are the same crowd starting multiple threads on this Libya 'no-fly' zone.

Same ole' same ole.

Better choice. Best is applied with 3 or more items/people, and since many Americans only see 2 parties, the word best is incorrect in this context.

Of course, would you rather eat better smelling dogs**t or worse smelling dogs**t? Or, would you rather sit at home and not have to eat it at all?

I think it would help to cite any example of my pro-war stance since I'm the creator of this thread and poll.

I order to get a more accurate reading, the poll should have asked exactly the same question as the thread title. It certainly shouldn't have had two different questions which would bring out opposite answers..

Look at some of the names. Some folks who have expressed support for Obama's Libya attack, voted No..based on the thread title.

It's definitely changed my opinion of Obama. I am so disappointed he decided to pull a Bush and go into Libya.

But this too. If he's the lesser of two evils, then I'll have to vote for him. Same reason I would have voted for Kerry in '04.

Redundant wording would be redundant, if I did that.

The point is that this clearly is a wedge issue, even if it's just 60-40 instead of 50-50.
