i don't want to turn this into a political thread, but first all dont' vote for someone who's name you can't spell and second of all, if your voting to keep hilary out, please vote obama over romney unless you want to expand guantanamo bay and stay in Iraq for who knows how long.

Before you start telling people who to vote for, please try and gain a basic understanding of the primary system. If he is voting for Romney then it is impossible for him to vote for Obama because Romney is a Republican and Obama is a Democrat and if he is registered Republican then he can't vote for a Democratic candidate in the primary. Now when the real election comes around he can vote across party lines but not tomorrow. Just a little FYI.
I voted today via absentee.

i hate to say it, but don't for Ron Paul.  It's a waste of a vote, cause he has no chance of winning in any state.  Vote for whoever you prefer when it comes to Obama vs. Clinton or McCain vs. Romney.  I know its a cynical view, but if you want your vote to count, you shouldn't vote for Paul. 

I'm a registered republican, I know, stupid, but I'll probably vote for Romney.  But to be honest, I really don't like any of the republican and will vote for whatever the democrat candidate is in the presidential elections.

it's called changing your political party affiliation. in most states you can do it at the voting venues themselves and if not, you can do so online hours beforehand and can still vote in the changed party.

^and I'm voting Ron Paul not because I think he has a chance at winning but because I have the same view as you but don't want to vote for the "lesser" of evils.  I'd rather vote for someone that I actually support rather than someone I don't just because that person has a shot at winning.  And yes, I know it could potentially siphon votes from the Dems which I associate with more than republicans but Paul seems like the only actual Human in all of the candidates to me.

Just found out earlier at school today I can't vote.  They were polling at my school so i wanted to make sure i could vote later because i didn't know what the deal for registered 17 year olds was, but it turns out in CT you have to be 18 even if you turn 18 between the primaries and the general election, which sucks because I can't vote for Ron Paul and I won't want to vote in the general if he doesn't get the nod.

Im not going to. I dont see the point in it. I know its stupid of me but I cant see how it will effect me. You cant really know what someone will do when they get into office and they are all liars in the first place.

Personaly I dont think that one person should hold that much power.

I just came back. Voted for Hillary. I was torn between her and Obama. I ultimately decided she would go through her presidency with less controversy. 

And as for the person that said Romney, he's the worse. McCain is the only Republican that's descent in my opinion.

Paul was only 6 behind mccain. I don't want either so it doesn't matter but still. Not too bad.

Yeah, but hillary sat on the board of directors of Walmart for years, which is against pretty much any value I look for (and usually find lacking) in a candidate.

Obama on the other hand has a pretty strong background of selfless public servitude, which is the exact moral quality I would look for in any leader.

I voted for Paul in the Montana caucus here in my county.  He won in my county :) and ended up in third in the state, he beat Huckabee at least.
