I'm pretty sure almost everyone here will vote for Obama.

The replies are amazing.
Thirteen deletes, so far.

2. I hope we do.
 I certainly will. But if he loses support on the left, he has no one to blame but himself.
Good boy, here's your biscuit.

5. Thanks for rubbing it in
 But we won't be enough to stop Romney.
Hate to break it to you, lad. Mitt is probably not the one you should worry about. :-)

38. If Romney were elected, no way in 40 Hells would his masters ever let him do ANYTHING ...
 ... except repeal healthcare reform, retain the mandate, making the fines even stiffer if one doesn't have coverage, and reviving debtors prisons.
See above.

6. that's not the problem
 it's that people like me, disappointed as i am, are going to have to try to convince our friends to vote for Obama.

how well do you think that's going to go?

and it's not that some of my friends will vote against Obama --a lot of them just won't vote.

i've said all along that centrism is morally bankrupt and when the only thing you can stand for is to be for what's between two sides, you have the moral authority of a facilitator.

i didn't vote to have a facilitator in chief. 
You'll do it again like a good little puppet.

10. Not in the primary I won't.
 I'll write my name in first before I vote for him.
Oh hell, I'd even vote for you. :stoner:

12. I'm very sure that I'll vote for the most progressive, anti-war, candidate on the ballot.
No you won't.  You'll follow the herd and vote for Obama, just like the rest.

21. Democrats will. Others that post here...probably didn't vote for him in the first place.
 But that's OK.

I never voted for Nader for anything, either.
Probably didn't vote at all, did you, slacker.

30. When I'm presented with an artificial list of unacceptable candidates, I don't vote.
 Not sure about you folks who didn't study civics and are unaware of what REAL democracy entails...
Another slacker that didn't bother to vote. :lmao:

51. It depends on where I'm registered to vote.
 If I'm in a swing state, I'll hold my nose.
If I'm still in Oklahoma, I'm not voting for President at all. Doesn't matter anyway.

That said, I'm not voting for him in primaries.
That is no doubt in several precincts, correct?

69. True Democrats on this board will vote for Obama.
Everyone on DU will vote for Obama.

The fact is, there are only a half dozen or so states that will matter in November 2012.

It doesn't matter who the activists of either party vote for if they aren't in those states,
because the margin outside those competitive states will be too great to be affected.

For president I could vote for Pat Paulsen and it would be just as effective as voting for the GOP candidate.

Governor Brewer is trying to move Arizona's primary up to January so we can affect the primaries more.  At this rate, all 57 states are gonna be selecting the contenders for the 2016 election in December 2012.  ::) :p

Well, if you're in Illinois you have a double whammy. You have to overcome the combined voting strength of all the cemeteries in Cook County, and you have to defeat a favorite son, even if he is a Kenyan. Unless he's as comically inept a candidate as algore, a favorite son nearly always wins.

I detest the presidential primary system.

I'd rather see all national convention delegates elected at state party conventions.

Question: why would someone have two Social Security Numbers?  
I figure identity theft would be one reason. If someone was in Witness Protection, the second number would be assigned to a new name.

Why would someone have two SSNs?

Nice to see the DUmmorrhoids' high standards of Constitutional law scholarship are still living up to their well-deserved reputation.

Yep! Look at what happened in Nevada. Reid won 2 counties outa 13 and still held his seat! The 2 counties were where Reno and Las Vegas reside! The SEIU had control over voter machines in both counties! Go figure!
