Who are YOU voting for in November?

[Playinghardball]

[RebelOne]

1. Need you ask? It certainly won't be for Romney. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

2. President Obama, Senator Maria Cantwell....

and probably Darcy Burner for Rep in WA#1. It might be a different Dem.

There won't be a mark for any Repubs on my ballot.

[yewberry]

17. Um, we're voting today in Washington.

Governor, Senator, Federal Reps, all of the state level Reps, Judicial, etc.
Postmarked by today or dropped off at a ballot drop location before 8:00 tonight.

[Wounded Bear]

23. Mailed mine in last week....

So I presumed they meant this November. Whatever.

edit to add: Like it said in the thread title.

[yewberry]

34. Phew. Glad to hear it. When you said 'Cantwell' I got worried.

That's not a November vote so I feared the worst!

[Liberal Veteran]

3. A bunch of folks....

....but most of them will be Democrats or endorsed by the Democratic party.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

4. The most progressive, anti-war, candidates on the ballot.

[Ter]

19. Green Party?

n/t

[DerekG]

21. I'll probably be voting for Rocky Anderson

n/t

[cali]

26. for what?

[Cali_Democrat]

39. DerekG is voting for Rocky Anderson for President. n/t

[cali]

49. I thought DU expected members to vote for the President

and that stating you're voting third party was a kickable out offense.

[Ruby the Liberal]

42. Seriously?

Looks like of the 3 he tried, that is the spaghetti that stuck to the wall.

Anderson formally accepted the 2012 presidential nomination of the Justice Party on January 13, 2012.

In March 2012, Anderson announced that he was seeking the presidential nomination of Americans Elect in addition to campaigning as the Justice party nominee.The following May, Americans Elect announced that it would not run a presidential nominee in 2012.

Anderson also sought the presidential nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party, but withdrew his bid for that nomination in August 2012.

He just withdrew from Peace and Freedom last Thursday.

Guess he decided to dance with the first one who brung him.

[Ikonoklast]

74. Here since 2001, and you still never read the TOS.

Wow.

[Le Taz Hot]

24. +1 n/t

[cali]

27. Are you voting for President Obama or not?

[DevonRex]

41. That is a definite no.

The anti-war part is a disqualifier.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

46. If he meets the qualifications I posted.

[cali]

48. How coy. Only you know that. And it's evident you don't have the courage

of your "convictions". By now you surely know if he meets your ever so high and pure standards.

Does he?

Are you voting for President Obama in November?

Really, screw up your courage and answer a direct question with a direct answer. What good are your lofty ideals without being able to stand up for them?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

50. Maybe, maybe not, and that's a promise.

What's so "high" about standards that require a professional politician to be progressive and anti-war? And, speaking of "pure", does apply to people who demand that people tow the party line?

I have the archaic notion that my vote belongs to me not the party or any particular candidate.

[DevonRex]

61. He did. He said anti-war. That's your answer. Nt

[hifiguy]

5. President Obama, Senator Klobuchar, and

Rep. Keith Ellison. There are a couple of excellent Dem candidates running in my state house/senate races as well. I will be voting for all of them.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

6. Straight Democratic ticket. nt

[NightWatcher]

7. I'm not voting this November, so blah

I'm voting early in late October so I can hopefully work the polls (not those kind, you perv)

[sinkingfeeling]

8. All the Democrats on the ticket.

[Brother Buzz]

9. Congressman John Garamendi (CA 4). He bought our vote cheap

He gave us some fine pears from his ranch after phone banking for his campaign. We're easy

[woodsprite]

10. Obama/Biden, and John Carney

Straight Dem ticket, and I made that known to the pollster who called me last night. He asked me what the biggest problem I thought America was facing this election cycle. I told him the gridlock in DC that the Republicans have caused by not working with the President to make American people/jobs their first priority!

[one_voice]

81. Same here.

[sibelian]

11. I'm not voting for anyone in November. I'm not allowed.

[quinnox]

13. this would have been better as a poll n/t

[edhopper]

14. Obama

AND I will continue to bitch when he does things like go easy on Wall Street and the Banks.
We can do both.

[ananda]

15. Obama and Sadler for Senate..

.. among other Dems.

[broiles]

20. Me too.

[TBF]

29. +1 -

Not sure about Olson vs. Nutcase Rogers though - hopefully I can just leave that blank because I'm not voting for a La Rouchie who promises to work on impeaching Obama.

[Vogon_Glory]

51. Likewise

I intend to vote for President Obama and Paul Sadler, a Texas Democrat, to take over Kay Bailey Hutchison's US Senate seat. It's time we had a Texas senator who represents ALL Texans, not just a handful of sectarians and the usual moneybags planning to enrich themselves at taxpayers' expense.

[JoePhilly]

16. Straight DEM, top to bottom.

[Zorra]

31. +1

[cali]

25. I think it's appalling that a poster here would vote for Scott Brown.

Just my opinion. And as for your lame reason for potentially voting for Romney. phttt.

[crimson77]

71. The great Tip O'neill once said

" All politics is local". My mayor had a great shot to win, but Elizabeth Warren wouldn't run unless it was clear sailing through the primary. So the party threw all the other candidates under the bus. Elizabeth Warren can naff off.

[PragmaticLiberal]

30. Let me get this straight:

You'd potentially subject the country to Romney just to ensure that SOS Clinton gets her chance?



I understand that you hold Mrs. Clinton in high regard but that's insane...imo.

[sabrina 1]

86. Well we don't really know how high a regard the poster holds Hillary Clinton.

But it's clever to try to excuse voting for Romney and Brown by claiming you're only doing it so that five years from now, Hillary, who has shown no inclination she is running.

I give credit for creativity, always.

[Marrah_G]

37. You are voting for Brown?

As a fellow Mass voter I would love to know why you are voting for Brown over Warren.

[crimson77]

70. I am friendly with Setti Warren and she sandbagged him.

[MannyGoldstein]

76. How so?

Wonders this Newton resident?

[Marrah_G]

78. So your response if to vote for a republican?

Sorry that doesn't make any sense to me if you are a progressive., especially since Setti Warren has endorse Elizabeth Warren.

[crimson77]

79. Do you think he had any choice?

[Marrah_G]

85. Again-- your response is to vote for the least progressive candidate

How does that make any sense at all? Do you not care about progressive issues?

[Ruby the Liberal]

44. Well thats "strategic"

[dogknob]

47. If Romney wins, there will likely be GOP Presidents for the <20 years America will have left.

The Internet that got Obama elected will cease to exist as we know it.

The plutocrats know that to compete with China, they have to be more like China.

Access to information you take for granted today will be gone.

[MNBrewer]

22. Keith Ellison.

[DevonRex]

43. Short ballot in MN?

[MNBrewer]

52. No, I'll also be voting FOR a few others

Linda Higgins, for example.

Otherwise it's mostly voting against the opponents I don't like.

[LeftofObama]

28. Well, after seeing that picture of Robme pushing a shopping cart around

he has convinced me that he is just an ordinary everyday guy like myself.

So I guess the answer is obvious.

[Tarheel_Dem]

32. Nader!

[auburngrad82]

33. Straight Democratic ticket for me nt

[Egalitarian Thug]

35. The President, but with great reluctance. Given a sane alternative, I would vote for it. n/t

[charmay]

36. Straight Democrat

Obama, Baldwin, Kreitlow and any state/local democrats.

[RedStateLiberal]

38. I'm voting for the best candidates available.

Which probably means almost 100% Democratic but I do look at local races a little differently.

Of course, I'm definitely voting for Barack Obama for a second term as President of the United States of America!

[Siwsan]

40. President Obama, Senator Debbie Stabenow, and Dan Kildee for House of Representatives

Dan is running for his uncle's seat. Dale Kildee is retiring. I will sure miss him. He's been a real treasure.

[DevonRex]

45. Obama and every Democrat on down the ballot.

I'm even looking up all the judges this year since we have so many being replaced with new people. They don't put their party on the ballot so you really have to dig up information on them.

[Raine]

53. Not one single Repug. nt

[fadedrose]

55. me too, and no married ones either...nt

[milwaukeelib33]

54. Jill Stein, Tammy Baldwin n/t

[Teamster Jeff]

56. Straight Dem vote

That does not mean I will stop "bitching about" Obama or any other Democrat whom I disagree with.

[Blue_In_AK]

57. Hollis French and Lindsey Holmes.

[fadedrose]

58. Letterman asks his audience all the time..

and the most applause goes for Obama!!!!!

[Populist_Prole]

59. Straight democratic, for the first time ever

From an ex-republican no less!

[Sick of the GOP]

60. Wayne Allyn Root

[postulater]

62. Trick question?

[Freddie]

63. Straight D as always!

Used to vote for our Republican State Rep--he's an old fashioned Reasonable Republican and a really nice guy--but I've gotten "pure" in my old age!

[MineralMan]

64. President Obama and every Democrat on my ballot.

Where I am, every one of them is a great choice.

[GreenPartyVoter]

65. Obama or Green Party. Depends on the way things are looking when I go to the polls. Last time

it was Obama because I was terrified of a "President Palin."

[Spirochete]

66. Nobody

I'll get my absentee ballot in October. Fill in all the dems on the list, write in my friends names on the ones running unopposed, and mail it in.

[Pab Sungenis]

67. Obama for President.

Don't know about Senate yet, because I really hate Bob Menendez but also really hate Joe Kyrillos. Worried he might slip in if too many of us bolt and vote third party.

Cassandra Shober for Congress.

Democrats for County Government.

For City Government I have no choice, the three Mayoral candidates and their Council slates are all Republicans. (sigh.)

[jmowreader]

68. Anyone with a (D) behind his or her name

This means about half my ballot will be blank as many Repukes run unopposed here, but it's something that must be done.

[LyndaG]

69. Proudly voting for Obama/Biden

Also, Chris Murphy for Senator and Congressman Jim Hines

[LWolf]

72. For each place on my ballot

to vote for a person, I will vote for the person on the ballot that is the furthest to the left.
If there is no appropriate left-of-center candidate to vote for, I'll write one in.

Why? Is this one of those loyalty oath threads?

[NoPasaran]

73. Straight Ticket Democrat

[RZM]

75. Not tough choices

Obama for president, Sherrod Brown for Senate.

Not sure who is running against Pat Tiberi for the House, so I can't say with 100 percent certainty that I will vote for them without knowing who they are. But unless they are truly god-awful I'll vote for them. If they are that bad I'll leave it blank or write in myself

[MannyGoldstein]

77. Obama, even though he's itching to Grand Bargain our asses

after the election.

Simpson-Bowles rulez!!!

And Warren and Kennedy.

[calimary]

80. Obama all the way!

[ibegurpard]

82. Obama, surprisingly enthusiastically

considering how pissed off I've been at a lot of his policy.

[lonestarnot]

84. Paul Penzone for Maricopa County AZ Sheriff.

[Jamaal510]

87. I'm voting for Feinstein and Obama.

Although there are some actions that I disagree with the president on, I acknowledge the number of beneficial things he has accomplished in spite of an obstructive GOP congress (like the Fair Pay Act and Health Care reform), plus he is our only viable alternative to this guy:
[IMG][/IMG]
All of the other more liberal candidates like Rocky Anderson and Jill Stein lack viability and aren't too well-known. It would in essence be a wasted vote to support any 3rd party candidate, at least until there's some type of election reform where there's ranked-choice voting.
