Are you crossing party lines this year? Is there anything the other party (meaning the one you don't support) could say or do to win your vote?

Democrat..there is nothing Republicans can ever do or say to make me vote for them.
I am a straight party ticket voter for several years.
I know personally some green and 3rd party candidates who I would vote for in a minute for their honesty and ideas including addressing and fixing vote fraud , etc but I am afraid to vote for them as I don't want to help reps by default. I love Bob Fratrikis an ind candidate for governor, but don't want to help Blackwell the guy who helped Bush steal OHio. Mark my words though he is double digits behind the democrat, Strickland, Blackweel will win. He has recently been found to have purged the roles of about a million Ohio voters mostly dem..that 10% of all voters will shrink Strickland lead..that crook Blackwell will ruin Ohio.
It doesn't really matter as I no longer brelieve the vote counts from 4 years of intense study of the issue, but still keep voting..why I don't know..I guess on the off chance they won't rig it.
But if we had instant runoff voting, I would likely vote green and other 3rd party candidate as I would be showing we don't like the choices of the average dem and reb candidate, while not hurting y 2nd choice(dem)..I am unhappy with dems as they ignore their grassroots activist and vote fraud generally and are also corrupt. We need none of the above (NOTA) as an option, but only when they actually go to transparent and real voting.
One dem fighting for the people, Dennis Kucinich, has introduced a new bill a few weeks ago.
It is HB 6200. I urge everyone to contact representatives and urge them to co-sponsor and support it. It would require that all presidential elections be on paper ballots hand counted at the precinct and that results be posted at the precinct.
This is the first step in the return of true elections that are tye will of the people and not voting machine companies and software programmers and hackers.

Republican. At this point, no, I don't think there is anything the Democrats could say to win my vote. I doubt I will be crossing party lines.

I voted absentee and am a moderate Dem. I went Dem on almost all races except the U.S. Senate (Nelson's win hands down) and county commissioner (lesser of two evils symptom but more like a better of two goods?). The first one I voted for an Indy (I want to see more options) and the second Rep (she had the experience). But I focused on how the candidates represent me in the most important issues. It's important not to let the mudslinging, negative campaigning and symptoms like the spoiler effect or lesser of two evils or wasted vote get to you. I really wish we could just agree one election and take a lot of power from the duopoly and have a 3rd party Pres. It won't happen with the plurality system now but if you've heard about IRV, it'll lead the way.

No.. the republicans are the party of massive corruption and they at least need to be taught a lesson.. If people vote for a third party and the republicans keep control, they will think of it as a blank check to do what ever they want.... I'm voting democrat, until the republican party is out of power and has no hopes of getting back in.

I have crossed party lines in the past, but this year, I'm voting Republican all the way.

I have for many years voted for both major parties. Mostly because I thought that the person I voted for would do the best job in office. I have voted for a few independent candidates for the same reason.

No crossing of party lines for me Democratic all the way!
The only difference is that I'm voting when I would not normally. I'm so horrifically sick of what the Republicans are doing that I'm exercising my rights as a citizen and VOTING!!!

I vote Peace and Freedom because they are closest to the way I feel about things. When there are no candidates running, I NEVER vote Republican (and there is nothing they could do to win my vote)...usually Green or Democratic.
Honestly, though...does it really make a difference anymore?

I'm not 100% sure yet. I don't vote for parties... I vote for the people running... and there are still several of them that need to enlighten us a little on their stance.

Political parties are merely an ILLUSION, because THIS secret and evil group has been in control of everything for far too long!...
