As in, did GW or John Kerry go down to the polls and vote for themselves? Or do you think they just don't?

OK- Then do we all assume they voted for themselves?

Have you ever voted for yourself for something? I did and then felt kind of bad about it...

They vote in the election, but because of the electoral college, their vote really doesn't mean a whole h**l of a lot, just like ours in the presidential race.
I have done the same thing, voted for myself, and yes I felt just as bad.

They definitely vote for themselves. One vote can change an election as all politicians know. For example, there's the old tale (which may or may not be fact) that 1 vote made English the language of the US instead of German.
I wouldn't feel too guilty about voting for myself. Most of the time there isn't anybody too worthy to elect to an office. Unless there's somebody who respects the Constitution on the ballot (which is rare unless you live in Congressman Ron Paul's district), none of the candidates are worthy of a vote.
I wonder if America's gonna go to compulsory voting to force all the non-voters who can't stand the Liberals or Neo-Cons to vote? Why blame the majority of America for not voting when we've got candidates like Bush, Kerry, and Gore? Where are the Thomas Jeffersons of yesteryear?

Yes they vote, and it is usually televised. They usually don't reveal who they vote for, but you know they vote for themselves, just like anyone else would. You shouldn't feel bad about voting for yourself. Your trying to beat the other candidate because you should believe that you would be better at the position than your oppenent.

Of course! And I'm pretty certain they DO vote for themselves. And by the way; if H. Clinton runs for & wins the next two Elections for President, Bill will have voted his last name in for President FOUR TIMES in his life! Not too many of our Presidents have ever done THAT! :)

Yes they vote. It a big TV event showing them going to vote at their local poll.
Yes they always stop and tell the TV that they voted for themselves.

Give me a break, of course they voted for themselves.

Of course! They do have to vote where they are registered. In Bush's case, we had to tolerate him coming back to Texas to do so and Kerry went to Massachusetts.

Of course they do. And yes, they vote for themselves.

Yes, presumably they vote for themselves since they want to win.

Yes they do. They usually show them coming out of the booth on TV.
