Thanks Voyageur. I know the majority of us favor all equal, legal rights for gay couples, but I needed to have this clarified.

The GOP has sold Democracy to the highest bidder, I wouldn't vote for a Republican for anything

Well since we have no idea which republican will get the nomination, could be Paul, Huckabee, Romney, Bachmann and her hubby, or even Palin or Gingrich. If Bachmann, Palin, Gingrich, or Perry, then Obama is all set to win again. the others then repubs have a chance.

Not the greatest poll because included in the Republican category is Ron Paul. Every single other Republican running I'd never vote for...

actually it doesn't really mean much period at this stage. Until there is a real candidate or down to a couple and all the candidates have entered the race, all these polls are for nothing other than bragging rights for the side you are on.

They do show a slight leaning: we are seeing how truely unpopular Obama is and we are seeing no real Republican favorite.

There are plenty of Republicans I would have voted for, but there are no viable GOP candidates running. If Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice ran for presidency, I would have voted for them in a heartbeat. I once thought Tim Pawlenty was a breath of fresh air but I was wrong. Ron Paul's policy is that of the Libertarian and I might consider voting for him since I'm an indepdent.

When Obama ran, I didn't vote for him. I voted for Hillary Clinton though.

And I've voted for Meg Whitman for governor of California. I mention this because I've seen you post in the California forum and you probably missed some of my posts.

How I vote depends on what I think it is really needed for America. Screw ideologies.

There are sane, smart Republicans who are rooted in reality. The problem is, none of them are running for presidency. This is like going to an establishment with the expectation of purchasing a product, but that product is out of stock and we end up with two other alternatives.
