I heard Hutchinson (the independent candidate) speak last year, and I was impressed with him. He's a great speaker and he seems to have a solid plan for the state. Unfortunately, I don't think he'll win (polls are putting him far behind Hatch and Pawlenty) so we will have to consider who of the remaining two candidates we would like to see win.\n\nI generally think Pawlenty has done a decent job thus far, and as such I'll probably vote for him again, but I can't tell you how to vote.  I was a little put off by the fact that Hatch has been so abrasive to reporters.\n\nTry looking at this website: http://www.vote-smart.org/ for information about where candidates stand on certain issues.

I voted for him both times.  I'd probably vote for him again. Have to wait and see what my options are.

I have no problem voting outside the two parties, but there's really not a viable, reasonable candidate out there. (Nader doesn't count-he is a fruit loop) \n\nI keep hoping a strong third party will emerge, but there's so many who are stuck in the R v/s D rut-to alot of people, I am afraid it's more like a grudge match or a ball game with opposing teams rather than voting for the future of our nation.

I will vote for the person who represents my views and values and idea of what America really stands for....For me that is usually a Democrat.  I wish there were more parties to choose from.  Another couple of people to vote for that actually had a chance to win.

I am in the same boat, where I'm from all three suck, it's not even a matter of who sucks the least, they all suck equally.  This is the first time I am tempted not to vote.

Don't ask us to decide for you. Vote based on your own beliefs. What works for me might not work for you.

Its not like you have to vote for EVERYONE running in EVERY political office in the nation.. Just you local reps... And you should Vote, if only for your own good.. For example, one topical highly debated is whether or not to raise the minimum wage from 5.15 to 7.50... You want the minimum wage raised dont you? Find out which of your local candidates supports it and go vote.. Or maybe you dont believe in abortion or stem cell research... Or even raising taxes at the DMV... Take 5 mintues to learn something, then get your a$$ out there and VOTE.... You Hippe...

You should just stick with local issues...who the mayor is of their city, etc. Keep it simple, they don't understand the abstract of  US "politics" yet...

I agree...vote for the best person...the party is a secondary consideration.

Then again, if they're both evil, why vote at all? Better to look for a third party you can get behind or simply vote for yourself. If you vote for the dem, you'll get more of the same -- and they will never even know why you voted for 'em. If you vote for the repub, you'll get more the the same -- and they will never even know why you voted for 'em. Vote for the Libertarian, I say, and you get a candidate who will protect your rights (and that, after all, is the only purpose of a govt: to protect your rights).

It's way too early to tell who I'll vote for - I don't vote by strict party lines. I vote for who I think is the best for the job. I can't know that until I know who's in the running.

Start contacting some of your local politicians: assembley members, state representatives, state senators, right up to your U.S. Congressional representative. THIS is one of the reasons they are there. They have connection in a lot of areas, and can get things done quickly for the right reasons. \nYou don't have to tell them what party you belong to or anything, just let them know you ARE a registered voter, and that you would greatly appreciate their support.  \nGood Luck!

I voted Kerry-Edwards last time, and no, my prior agnosticism did not play a large or main role in my choosing Kerry-Edwards.  I CAN sleep at night knowing I didn't choose this Path for America to be on, currently. \n\nI feel I have to continue my voting Democrat, Independent or Libertarian next time---whatever Prezzie choices there are that I feel comfortable voting for.

~Sounds like you are independant.  Its supposed to be a matter of personal preference.  Just because you register as one particular pary doesn't mean you have to vote that way.  Unfortunately most people forget this.  My advice is to ignore the party affiliation and pay attention to the issues and the causes in question.

Vote for politicians. They seem to have a good chance of winning anyway.

you have a chance to remove the one you don't like - take it\n\nif you have enough info then vote for the best if you don't then use the limited info you have to choose - even with no info then you should vote at random to vote AGAINST the current office holder\n\nnext time RESEARCH the info is there you just did not make the effort to LOOK for it ( call the campaign HQ and ask questions ! )
