I generally vote for the person I think will do the best job if elected.

On the candidate the majority of the time, but this year is different. I would rather not vote for either Senatorial candidate running in my state, but the outcome of this election could quite literally mean the difference between life and death. I am going to vote against the political party that will do the most harm to this country if given the chance, the Democrats.

I nearly always vote for the candidate. Party affiliation only influences me if the candidates running are so much the same in philosophy and action that neither stands out. Generally it is Republican, but not always even then. There are many factors that I weigh when casting my vote for a person that is going to represent me in the important issues that face our homeland.

Registered one but vote cross the lines. It really depends on the candidate and not the party. The democrats that are running in my state are not saying much, except racial slurs and insults. So they are pretty well out the door. I like it when they have honest people oriented debates and no insults. Helps to make up my mind.

I've been a Republican ever since the day I turned 21. I usually vote for individuals, in fact this year is the first time I'm voting a straight party ticket. Thanks to the Republican party tactics this year, I'm voting a straight Democratic ticket, as are many across the country.
If the scare tactic commercial being launched by the neocons this weekend is as bad as I've heard it is, I will probably never vote Republican again. It seems to be time for the GOP to fade into history as a group that started with Lincoln and ended in an outhouse.

I am a moderate. I always vote on the candidate. Party affiliation means little to me. I voted for Reagan, Bush 41, Perot, Clinton, Gore, and Kerry. Oddly, despite my migration from GOP to DNC candidates, I'm actually getting more conservative as I get older. My problem with the GOP isn't what it stands for, it's the people that are standing for it. Today's GOP is no more the party of Reagan than it is the party of Santa Claus. And as a moderate, I have come to despise narrow-minded people more and more.

The candidate. I'm registered as a Republican, but I've never voted a straight ticket.

I have no party affiliation now, I was a democrat in the past (because a democratic candidate took the time to find me in a laundrymat and register me I owed it to him)
I often vote for the underdog and for minorities
when in doubt (when I know neither candidate) I vote for women over men and greens over democrats over republicans

Candidate.
I couldn't vote party even if I wanted to. My voter's registration card says "non-affiliated."
I tend to vote more Republican, but that's only because I normally like their candidates better. I have voted Democrat many times, though.

I vote for the candidate. It's just that I haven't seen a single Democrat worth voting for since Lyndon Johnson, and that SOB sent me to Viet Nam.

Candidate. But usually Republicans have more of my values.
