Who Will I Vote For In November?

I have one friend who said he is still going to vote for Ron Paul in November. He plans to write his name in. However in Arkansas a write-in candidate must be a registered. I learned this when I was a County Election Commissioner. Once a voter wrote in Ross Perot's name is a party primary, it was not counted. So no my question is, who will I vote for in November?

After Ron Paul, I decided to vote for Alan Keyes if he got the Constitutional Party's nomination. Sadly he lost to Florida Pastor Chuck Baldwin. Why the delegates at their convention do this? I'll never know. Keyes is better well known than Baldwin, and it would have given the party some news coverage.

At the moment I am considering voting for Bob Barr if he gets the Libertarian Party's nomination. If he looses then I am back to square one. Surely their will be candidate on the November ballot who will stand for the Constitution.

You can vote for Mickey Mouse, if that makes you fell better, but who they, the Round Table Group, wants in office, in 2008, is who they are planning to put in office. The Bible tells you all that the thing to do is rise up against them. That is what the New World Order is truly about. It's your chokce, keep footing the bill for their lust and greed, and suffer the consequences. Or, rise up against them and put them to death. The Bible plainly tells you that. The preachers even preach every day, but who's listening? If you don't believe me, you need to listen, and read. And watch. And,
WAKE UP!

Anybody but Obama, probably McCain
Mark H. May 17, 2008, 11:56am EDT
Ron Paul, if he would run as an independant. However a Libertarian would be my choice also.
Jennifer aka Jenn B. May 17, 2008, 11:57am EDT
Ah......that IS the question.........

I am writing in Ron Paul if he is not on the ballot. Here you can write in your candidate's name.

I would rather vote for the one man who I feel is the best for the job. (In this case the only one fit for the job) than to vote for someone in whom I do not believe.

It is not a waste of a vote to vote your consience or your logical choice as some would say.

It is a miss-use of your vote to vote for someone who is unqualified and not fit to lead the nation just because everyone else is doing it or because some political party says he or she is their choice.

I really don't want to vote
South Carolina Guy May 17, 2008, 12:24pm EDT
Maybe Bob Barr, the Libertarian Candidate. Yeah, I know. If I do I'm "wasting" my vote. I'm so over Republicans versus Democrats I can't stand it.

Obama...
Deloris Wright May 17, 2008, 2:29pm EDT
Phyllis I agree with you. I want Ron Paul. But I feel that is throwing my vote away. So I guess I will vote for McCain
J R B. May 17, 2008, 4:33pm EDT
McCain is not the right man. I believe Ron Paul is, he can be written in NV.
Dorothy H. May 17, 2008, 5:28pm EDT
I'm voting for Obama.
Ivan N. May 17, 2008, 7:25pm EDT
Not all states allow write in voting.

I have chosen McCain.

I know I'm not voting for that person!!!

no Terry, I'm not trying to be funny, but,,, it is scary,,,
Terry M. May 18, 2008, 9:11pm EDT

We shall see who wins. Doesn't look like it will make much difference anyway.
Molly O. Jun 13, 2008, 1:35am EDT
Only bad thing is I don't know of a write-in that ever made it very far in the race.... or got elected. I don't know for a fact though.
Molly O. Jun 13, 2008, 1:36am EDT
I have no clue who to vote for as I don't care for any of the candidates that are actually "in the running." Hey.... at least Hillary is out though. But who would have been worse.... Obama or her?
Molly O. Jun 13, 2008, 1:36am EDT
Tough decision all the way around
Molly O. Jun 13, 2008, 1:37am EDT
I have a feeling no matter what we're all pretty screwed, lol. Sorry to be miss negativity!

Bob Barr should be on some 40 odd ballots nationwide. Between him and Nader they are pulling over 10% in some polls. Not anyone but the two party hard cores seems excited about their candidates.
Tad W. Jul 14, 2008, 10:39am EDT
I'm writing in Ron Paul. The only "wasted" vote is the one that's never cast. I always thought voting was about your voice being heard, not trying to "pick the winner". This isn't a horse race.

Speak your mind and sleep well at night!
Michael M. Jul 15, 2008, 12:02pm EDT
Of course, the only way to "throw away your vote" is by voting for someone who you don't believe in, either the person or their policies. In this race, the easiest way for me to throw away my vote is to vote for McCain or Obama. Elections aren't horse races, you don't get anything if you "pick the winner" if that winner doesn't believe in what you believe in. Although I'm not overly impressed with Bob Barr's track record, but he seems to have changed his mind on some of the more troubling policies he used to support. I'll maintain my consistency by voting Libertarian again.
Maureen N. Aug 11, 2008, 10:45pm EDT
I am voting for Alan Keyes as a write-in. His latet work is awesome!
