A lot of mediocre candidates seem to stick around that way. I'm about as liberal as they get, but I still voted for a Republican here a couple of years ago because I agreed with him on more issues than I did the Democratic candidate. I think I voted for our secretary of state, too, or someone like that, and he's a Republican. If I really don't like either candidate, I'd rather write someone in than elect someone with whom I truly don't agree.

Irish, I couldn't STAND John Kerry. So between the two candidates, I voted my party. I try and vote within my party because I don't want a democratic congress. When you vote, you not only vote for the candidate, but the entire party. (No offense to those who are democrat on here.)
