I have never voted for a democrat before, but the more I listen to McCain the more I want to vote for the other guy no matter who he is. |

I've never had a reason to vote for a Democrat for POTUS. If I thought a vote for Barr wouldn't be a vote for Obama, I'd vote for him. My vote for McCain is more a vote against Obama than anything else.

I've aligned myself with my fellow SS Gruppenfuehrer, DDD, and am voting for Obama. However, playing my usual role as peacemaker in this troubled venue, I'm voting for Barack because it will help with missionary work. I can't tell you how many teaching opportunities I lost in '71-'73 due to the Europeans' contempt for Nixon. Given that Obama is enjoying JFK-like adoration on the continent, the Church will be seen in a far more favorable light than if McCain were elected. I thus conclude that people who vote for McCain don't have a testimony.
I can see SU putting a McCain sign on his front lawn as I write this. Tex, take note. |

I was quite surprised to find this morning that at this point in the election of 2000, Gore had a 51 to 40% lead on Bush in Gallup.
Taking comfort in such historical facts reflects the sad position Republicans are in, and my money's still on Obama. But, anything's possible I suppose.

I was curious to see where folks on here stand. And by making it public I thought it would have fewer joke answers. Of course everyone believes Indy is really voting for Nader.

Nader will get about the same number of votes as Barr in this election, so it's a wash at best. Barr also can pull some from the democrats because of civil liberty issues.

Even though I don't think I will vote for Obama, I can at least take solace that he is probably the best candidate in terms of my job security and future prospects.
