    I'm almost always a Democrat down the line, so I would vote for Obama.

    I may vote against Clinton and for McCain. I have to research that a little bit more.

    Against.

    I like Obama, but being that I'm pretty much an anarcho-socialist, his platform isn't exactly what I believe. Still, I'll go ahead and vote for him as an alternative to the GOP. If HRC gets the Dem nomination, I'll vote for a leftist third-party candidate. For the Democratic Party to fuck up this opportunity by nominating a monster like HRC would be the most epic fail the Party's demonstrated in recent years...even worse than Kerry, Gore and Mondale. No way would I reward that fail with a vote.

    Wankers' World- so crazy even other Trotskyists think they're batshit. I think only the Sparticists and the RCP are loopier in that deeply irrelevant and (mercifully) ever-shrinking microcosm that is the Leninist left.

    You know. a vote can both for one person and against another.
    I vote against any candidate running without an opponent from the other major party, because I don't think that should happen. This is why I wound up voting Communist against Tip O'Neill when I lived in Cambridge.

    100 percent for McCain... I voted for him in the primaries eight years ago and I'm ecstatic that he's finally getting his due...

    If it's him vs. Obama, I'll be happy either way... If it's him vs. Hillary.... Not so much...

    I've always seen as voting against a candidate or taking the "anybody but" route, well, you might as well just stay home, because it's a waste.

    I generally agree with you, markvid.

    But in this election, I'm willing to make an exception.

    If it's Obama vs. McCain, I'll be at peace with either outcome.

    Agreed. I'll be voting for Obama, respect McCain and don't agree with Clinton.

    My vote for Mickey Mouse is really a vote against Donald Duck.
