Did you vote for Mike Dukakis when he ran for President in 1988? If so, what made you vote for him?

Yes. Given the options, it was the lesser of 2 evils. After 8 years of Reagan (who I also voted for), we needed a change.

It was Bill Clinton, of course. Some people may not want to admit this, but the only reason why Bush became president in 2000 is because his dad's friends on the Supreme Court bench handed him the Oval Office.  Some may argue that Bush won fair and square in 2004, but there is evidence that election fraud may have taken place then, as well. However, since Kerry didn't contest the results, no one talked much about it. Thank you, Diebold!

Bill Clinton?  I dunno.  He was president at the time and was born in Arkansas.

It was a mostly Republican decade as Ronald Reagan was elected President in 1980 and re-elected in a landslide in 1984.  George H.W. Bush (W's Dad) won in 1988.

I voted for Bush, Kerry had no plan, like the Democrats.  He could not wait to change his mind on every issue, and is too high and mighty. If I were to marry someone worth 50 million and then divorce her and marry someone worth 500 million I bet people would call me a gold digger.

I have problems With President Bush, but I believe that he has gotten some bad advice and has surrounded himself with people who don't have the nation's best interest at heart.  I voted for him simply because I didn't want Kerry to become leader of the free world.  As for my vote, who knows, it might count, it might not.  I still vote with high hopes and low expectations.

I have no regrets as I voted for Kerry.  I would not vote for Bush and never have.  I vote for the person not the party, but I would certainly not vote for anyone with the same viewpoints, background, lack of knowledge when it comes to speaking, and no common sense when it comes to decisions that are crucial such as staying in a war that made no sense in the first place (he has done all he can to try and tie 9/11 and his war together but there are just too many inconsistencies - and he does love to throw 'red herrings' to the public when they get too close to the truth - his father pulled out and he wanted to go in and finish the job for him plus the oil is a crucial part of that war no matter what else is being fought for - and that is from the mouths of soldiers who have been there for Desert Storm and this war).  Of course that is my opinion, and some will not agree - others will.  I love my country, I support the soldiers who were sent there with care packages, but I do not have to automatically love what someone is doing just because he is sitting in the ruler's seat.  Part of what makes America great.

I did!!!! I think he deserves to be in the all star house more than anyone.\nHe was voted in last year as America's choice but you can vote for him this year too to be in the all stars house

Edmund Muskie?!  Wow, hate to admit I've heard of him, but don't remember him that well.\n\nWhat's funny is that when Carr was interviewed at halftime, he looked and sounded (to me) like John Kerry, another doomed national candidate from my preferred party.\n\nIn the end, I guess the "reds" beat the blues" in Ohio --just like the last Presidential election! Think about it --I just came up with that analogy/analysis.

That's a great question.  When Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, I opposed it.  When he did nothing about Rwanda, I spoke out against it.  When he signed welfare reform, I objected.  Was that enough for me to vote him out?  Well it was his second term so I guess we'll never know.\n\nI'll tell you one thing - I will NEVER vote for a Democratic candidate who voted in favor of the Iraq war.

i acutally voted for ralph nader the past 2 elections.  i feel that ralph had no chance but that he was the best candidate b/c he was not influenced by outsiders.  since the 3rd party usually has no chance one could argue i threw my vote away.  that is a really good question.  if i had to pick between the dems and the gops i'd go with the dems while i'm young and poor and then the gops if i ever become old and rich.

I do! He is an awesome president. If he could go for another term, I would definitely vote for him. I'm glad that I'm not the only one that still respects the guy.

RUDY!  He did wonders in NY while he was there.  Remember what Time Square looked like BEFORE Giuliani?? Yeah... purdy bad.  Imagine what he could do for the entire country!  I'm not even republican, and he would get my strong vote ASAP.

Did you vote in today's election to get someone who reflects your views into office???\n\nDon't just observe it change it.

The people didn't choose Bush. The damn election was rigged! (I would have voted for him anyway because I thought he would do better for America than Kerry. So I was wrong.)
