God help me, I voted McCain.

I'm still rinsing the gag-reflex out of my mouth though.

I added a 5th option to your poll just in case. It's what I've always told exit pollers...   :laugh:

Me too.  Being in a "battleground" state I had a serious battle between doing the right thing or the really right thing.

I didn't vote for anybody, as there's nobody I actually support.

I voted against Barack Hussein Obama, and reluctantly cast my ballot for Sarah and that old guy she's running with.

Good luck to you all today, and for the future.  Be thankful you have a choice (albeit a flawed one), we have different sides of the same coin to vote for, at one remove.

McCain/Palin.  Virginia is a battleground state, this time.  If it weren't, I might have gone for Barr.

Here in Indiana, I voted for John McCain for President.

But I'm not happy about it.

I can't vote yet,  :mad: but I will in the elections after this one.

I voted against the corrupted, no-longer-conservative values of the GOP, but I did so 2 weeks ago.

Not a popular decision around here I can see.  I can totally understand why, too.

I held my nose and voted a straight republican ticket and mamaged to get through it.

Voting for the alternative would had me puking inside the booth.

Ms. MillCreek and I voted opposite each other, thereby cancelling each other out.  This way, no matter who wins, we can claim partial credit.

I voted for McCain, Palin, and a really bad flu season....

I voted for... none of the above. I usually vote Libertarian, but this year we didn't have a candidate (Bob Barr doesn't count) so i just voted for Sheriff, Prosecutor the state proposals and boards of universities.

I'm a Libertarian, but I voted for McCain because I despise Obama so much.  I voted for Libertarian candidates in all other elections on the ballot, wherever they appeared.

I don't understand why some people choose not to disclose who they voted for.  It's certainly your right to do so, but to me that's like not disclosing the color of your bath towels, or what car you drive.  ;/

Assume for a moment that your opinion never mattered.  It was irrelevant.
Suddenly, you had the power to nullify the opinion of a certain individual who was very domineering and held his rule with an iron fist.

All manner of coercion and manipulative attempts to change your opinion were cast in your direction.  If you did not change your opinion, verbal and physical abuse would be heaped upon you.

These assaults were only because of who you chose to support in an election.

Who did granny vote for? 
None of your effing business.


I voted straight GOP, except for the county prosecutor, republican, unopposed, for which I wrote in "other".

Colette, Lawless, Aquilina, Manderfield, Crockett

Oh, you meant for president.

Who cares.  I live in a blue state.
