Palin is a ding-dong. That was enough for me. If McCain can't get his VP pick right (Lieberman would've worked), how could I vote for him

Registered Dem, voted for McCain. He has always been a builder across the aisle. Obama is too slick with no accomplishments.

But I split my ticket between dems and repubs. I vote for the person, not the party I'm registered to.

The Democrats have abandoned all sense of logic and ethics in their discussions. I'm obligated to vote against them as a result.

      I voted for Obama all the way even though my state went for Ms. Clinton.

      I believe our country needs change but I'm not sure Obama is going to bring about the right kind of change & McCain will bring none.

        I might have IF the John McCain of 2000 showed up. But I don't know who THIS John McCain is. And Sarah Palin sealed the deal. Vote Obama!

          I'm registered with one of the minor parties, but I know that'd be throwing my vote away - so I went Obama!

          However, I would not consider crossing party lines as the wrong choice. If the candidate shares same goals, then super!

            My votes are always based on the candidate's qualifications, never the party.

              I split my vote between both parties. I don't think my 84 yr old Senator should serve another 6 years...just b/c there's a "D" by his name.

              Went from green to democrat but surely that doesn't mean anything. My monkey's butt before another Republican.

              I am a Democrat and have crossed before, to vote Republican (but not for Bush)

              This time - Obama all the way!

              Obama's complete lack of experience has prompted me ot vote for McCain. Why is the media so forgiving of Obama's flipflopping on issues?

                No but I would have had I been on the other side. Republican ticket is "Old-Dumb" Democrats is "Vision-Experience"
