I'm a Ron Paul supporter, but I'm not sure who I'm voting for this election (vote, campaign) - Elections - City-Data Forum

My choices are

1. Vote for Republican Canditate Paul
2. Vote for Independent Candidate Paul
3. Vote for the Libertarian ticket.
4. Write-in Ron Paul

By the way, voting for Obama or a RINO is throwing away your vote, throwing it away to the Republicrat Machine, so please save those comments.

Why not just write it in? As many people who like Paul as possible should do it.

I swear, if Perry or Romney win the GOP nomination I am writing in Ron Paul or voting 3rd party. I just had about enough of Progressive and Progressive-lite. Like mistygrl and I believe padcrasher said, if the parties don't stop pandering to the corporatists, then stop voting for them and vote for the other guy. This lesser of two evils trap is the reason why both parties SUCK

I'm as undecided as you are

Voting for Ron Paul in the GOP primary. If Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination, voting for him again in the general elections. If not, writing him in. Not going to vote for anyone else.

Ditto.

I couldn't agree more. A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil.

I was considering, if Paul didn't get the GOP nomination, to just vote Republican as a vote against Obama. But Geez! The options from the GOP, besides Ron Paul of course, may actually be worse than Obama! I'm not sure if that's actually possible but fear it could be. We're not talking about the lesser of two evils, it's a choice between a train wreck or a railway disaster.

The media will LOVE LOVE LOVE you! An undecided voter! Be sure to tell everyone around you that you are undecided and maybe you'll get on TV! Ooooh! Imagine the glamour when whatever brainless blond bimbo FAUX News teleprompter-reading glamazon sticks a microphone in your face and asks you what you think about the election .... as if the fate of the whirrled rests on your sadly sloped shoulders! Drama! An Undecided Voter! Alert the Media!

Oh! Wait! You said you're voting for that poor Paul Creature .....

Never mind.

Ron Paul will not get the GOP nomination and there aren't enough people that support him to give him any chance of being elected in a write in campaign.. I don't dislike him, and in fact I agree with him on some points, but there are enough things I disagree with him about that just outweigh the benefit of electing him. If you are going to write in Ron Paul, why not just go ahead and vote for Obama. That is what you are actually doing.
