THIS HAS TO BE MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE!
I hate that people support a candidate based on their "electability" If no one cared about that and voted based on the issues, then suddenly the people that were un-electable before become electable! All electability is is thinking about what everyone else thinks. Think for yourselves!!!
I vote for who I want to win, if you didn't catch my drift... :-p

I generally vote for who I want to win, and whose ideas fall in line with mine.
That said, about 6 years ago there was a provincial election where I lived, and it looked like it was going to be a landslide victory for a candidate that I completely disagreed with on almost every issue. The other two candidates in my riding were likely going to split the vote, with the one that I preferred falling far behind. I did end up voting for the other one, only because I preferred him over the leading candidate and didn't want to further split the vote. All for none, anyways.... the slime ball still won with a 2:1 margin.

I vote for the candadite that I want to win out of the pool of viable options. So I wouldn't vote for someone like, for instance, Ron Paul who doesn't have a chance of winning even though he's my personal favorite. The last couple of elections have been super close and I live in VA which is a new swing state so, chances are, my vote will actually matter for once. As much as I like Ron, I don't want to end up with Hillary becuase I threw away my vote on a candidate who had no chance of winning.

You vote for the candidate that you want to win. Why would you vote for someone that you don't want to win??

Of course I vote for the person I WANT to win. If we didn't vote for the person we want to win.. then we wouldn't have a reason to vote.
I believe that you should stop.. take a look at all of their political and economical views and choose which one you most agree with.. then decide who you are going to vote for.
You shouldn't judge them on their speeches or their PERSONAL life (nobody is perfect.. even politicians make mistakes) instead you should focus on what they would like to see done in the United States of America.
That's what a vote is supposed to be based on.

I vote for the person most in line with my beliefs. I don't care what party the belong to. This idea of voting for the person you think might win is the reason nothing ever changes in DC.

Voting doesn't work 1-2-3
It's time you know your enemy
I won't pledge allegiance to hypocrisy
Your democracy, is not for me
So, when we try to change this place
Courtroom pulls an about face
Fantasies of the master race
Our elections they erase
See once upon a time we were all free
When we lived in tribal societies
Peace and harmony
And everything for the good of family
Yeah, cancer people can smoke weed
People voted to be free
But the fascist rule decree
Pigs arresting you and me
Voting doesn't work
Why?
When they don't like what we say then they stop it in the courts.
President this, president that
Represent the ruling class
One says this, one says that
Sounds the same what choice is that
See voting doesn't work 1-2-3
Coming from the NATION OF THE CHEROKEE
How can you choose when you don't have a choice?
How can you choose when you don't have a voice?
Yeah, interest games, their interest rates
Secret power fueled by hate
Fear for cash, cash for fear
Greenspan is the ruler here
Yeah, a pig is a pig
And they took it away
And I don't give a f**k about the things they say
It don't mean s**t to me
Voting doesn't work, it's easy to see, that
Voting doesn't work
Why?
When they don't like what we say then they stop it in the courts
Voting doesn't work, I have seen
Along with piles of broken treaties
Your reality produces poverty, spiritually
In a nation of greed.
Well who is working, who is not
Think votes count, well I think not
Doesn't matter what we say
Things will always go their way
Power to the people is just a fantasy
And they sell it to us as an American dream
Well, your vote counts 1-2-3
Living in democracy
Everybody here is free
Cuz it's built for you and it's built for me.
Voting doesn't work
Why?
When they don't like what we say then they stop it in the courts

Idealist or Opportunist
I am an Idealist.
I am voting for Ron Paul. I will not vote for anyone else. If America ends up with someone they cant stand, they can eat the plate they prepared themselves.
