I am curious about how many in Paulding will be voting on the 6th.
I would like to keep this in the Internet cafe so please keep your remarks positive about who you are voting for.
This is a private poll. People will not be able to see who voted for

[mei lan]

Yep - Newt (barring some unforeseen disaster).

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

Hubby and I went yesterday and voted. In and out in about 7 minutes. After the two to two and a half hour wait in the early voting we did back in 2008 in the Presidential election we both swore we would never again go early. This was much, much better.

[guntrucker]

I vote in every election. i don't like to vote early, to me there is
something all American about voteing in your own precect on election day,
and then being at the courthouse to watch the votes being tallyed.

[gog8tors]

My answer is yes I will vote.
I won't tell anyone who I vote for until after I vote. So maybe a not telling option should be on the poll.

[Curious Scorpio]

No. I'm not Republican.....

[xxx]

I didn't vote in the poll because you addressed this to Paulding and I don't live in Paulding. But I will vote.

[luvdale3]

I USE TO VOTE DEMOCRAT NOT ANYMORE ABO

[Riograce]

Yep, I'll be voting sometime next week, since lines are harder for me than they once were. Not tickled about my choices, though.

[mysterious]

I will be voting. Sadly I still do not know who for.

I am not impressed with any of the choices but I must vote so that we have a NEW President.

[gonefromhere]

Yep, I'll be voting, don't care too much for the choices.

[stercus tauri]

I've already voted.

[CreativeOne]

I'm thinking about going

[Wineguy]

Absolutely. I have to help keep the crazies out of office.

:sigh:

[lowrider]

Yep, I always vote.

Anyone to get rid of Obama!

Romney is my choice, but I can hold my nose and vote for Newt in the general, but I hope it doesn't come down to Newt. I really don't like him.

[AustinPlantation]

You know that that won't stop you from voting in the Republican Primary, don't you? Unlike in some states where you have to register your party and only vote in their primary, it's not the case here.

Can't decide who to vote for yet, so I clicked on the guy I never heard of.

Ah.... none of the below was listed....

None are smart enough

Some have lots of money and pay little taxes..... (mitt)

So not much of a choice out there....

Poor republican party.... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Mariposa]

Hey guys, this is still in the Cafe, please save the rhetoric for the political forum.

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

I didn't used to be a Republican either until I realized the Democrats were giving away my hard earned money to people who wouldn't work and to countries that hate us.

Why isn't Obama one of the choices in the poll?

Thanks, with over 200 views I would have like to have seen a lot more yes votes.
I admit to not showing much of an interest in politics for most of my life other than the presidential elections. I pulled the party lever.

Now I take as much interest in local as I do national. I wish people would take more interest and be more active on a local level, the primary being one of them.

All of our candidates from the president down start somewhere and really it is the responsibility of small town America to be the guardians of who goes state and higher.

Low voter turn out shows that folks aren't engaged enough on the local level.
Of course on the other hand politicians aren't out and about shaking hands and talking to folks like they once did either.

I think because the question was only referring to the Super Tuesday election on March 6th. I really hate that John Huntsman dropped out. He was the ONLY GOP candidate running that I cared for. I like Newt on about 60-70% of views which is higher than any of the others.

I recommend everyone take a candidate quiz which thoroughly compares your views to all of the candidates to see who you are most similar to. Here is an example of one. I would try a few different ones and compare the examples. http://www.selectsmart.com/president/

I got an interesting result
It gave me Biden, but my choice Ron Paul was in the 51 percentile. It gave me Obama as 3rd, but I think that is because I am liberal on 2 of the social issues.

It gave me Gingrich with 64%, Santorum (who i wouldn't vote for if a gun was to my head) with 60%, Obama with 59%. I think it is because I am very conservative in views of the economy, gun control, and immigration, but I am more liberal in Stem cell research, gay marriage, and planned parenthood.

About the same as mine, I hate it, but I am assuming business as usual inside the beltway when it is all said and done.
As radical as some claim Obama is, one thing is pretty clear, there are people holding the reins of even the highest office in this country and they are not elected.
This is why I am voting Paul, I am voting against the establishment.
He won't win, but getting a lot of votes will hopefully send a very scary message to those that continually back crony capitalism, that the American people have just about had enough.

I constantly rail against how badly we are manipulated through funding by the real rulers of this country.

Most of them are already amoungst the idiots in Washington now, it would just be a promotion. Its not just the "left" that has put us in the bind we are in. Its ALL the 3K dollar suit me first assholes that have occupied ANY political office in D.C. over the last 12 years.

Ron Paul, although he won't come close, is the only one I have heard that would work to put the Government back to where it should be and return States Rights and isolate(so to speak) this country and stop being the world police. Yeah, he has a couple wacky things going, but so do the others. The real problem rest with the lifetime politicians in the congress.

I am hearing a lot of people say the same. People feel like they have to vote for front runners. They have thrown their hands up, anything is better than Obama.
What is happening is that front runners are front runners through backing by the Elite that have something to gain by backing them.
The primaries are the real voice of the people, this is why I get so disappointed by the low numbers of those that vote in primaries.
The internet really allows us to learn more about potential candidates than what is dished out to us through commercials.

[Starr & Dru's Nana]

WOW! It gave me the candidate that I like but didn't vote for because I don't believe he can beat Obama. And how in the world can I agree with Obama on 43% of the issues? I don't agree with him on 1% of the issues!

Curious Scorpio:

This is a one-party state. By definition you are a Republican if you live in Paulding County and want to vote in local races for they are decided in the primary. We discovered that when Will Avery, a young, intelligent grad student with ideas faced off against a Paulette, whose baggage included a default, bankruptcy and a secret parrot that pulled her string and she spit out meaningless, right-wing platitudes.

Since the party system is not designed to disenfranchise voters, the only thing one can say is that everyone should vote in any election that counts.

[Veritas]

It matched me with the candidate for whom I had voted on the 17th.

[LPPT]

It didn't take long to get to the I hate Obama and why.
I thought we might stick with the why I like my candidate theme for the Cafe so that folks would not get scared out of participation. As in not being nastily attacked for their views.
Obama is not on the primary ballot.
