an open question.

9. And why would that be?
Oh, I know - a single vote doesn't make any difference.

11. We will see who the candidates are and what they
are offering in a plan and any previous job performance. Thus far, nothing too appealing, but it's still early.

20. I'm a Philadelphia Yellow Dog Dem
Even though I hate the Dem Machine here in Philly, they are somewhat better than the Reps who run here.

So, my feeling is that it's important to vote - early and often :sarcasm: - if you don't vote, you'll have no cause to complain.

2. Yes, and in every election since 1966. Every one of them, including
elections with a single municipal issue. Doesn't everyone?

7. hell yes
I would never 'not vote'. However my daughter, her friends and many of my former co-workers did not, but they did in 2008.

8. I always vote. But, I have the notion that my vote belongs to me and not to any party or politician
It's a rather archaic notion but, silly me, I still cling to.

12. Of course,
and I get really tired of the way some people want to blame progressive Democrats for what happened in the mid-terms. It wasn't our fault.

18. Of course I did, even doubting the integrity of the election process
And I will in 2012 and yes, I will vote for Obama. That said, I won't work my ass off for him this time around. He's either inept or dangerous, but once in a while he does okay. Today, and the last month of contrived idiocy were certainly not his best days as President, but as they know, we currently have no where else to go.

19. I've voted a straight Democratic ticket
in every election that I was eligible to vote in. Proud to say I never skipped even one in all these years.

21.  I voted in 2010. I will vote in 2012. I will NOT vote for Obama. I will not vote republican either.

The only real question is whether I will have a viable Democratic or liberal 3rd party candidate to vote for, or if I should write in Randy the Macho Man Savage (RIP).
