Of course I will be voting. I'm a registered voter, and I can't complain about anything going on with the gov't if I don't participate in any way that I can. I've narrowed my choice down to three people, and I'll keep myself updated on them until election time.

I've voted in every Presidential election since I was 18. I've voted in most of the elections I've been eligible to for the last 30 years. My state's primaries are too late, so it won't matter who I vote for in the primaries. But I think it will be Romney vs Clinton in the Prez race.
Why? Rep: Huckabee is the most conservative, but I don't think he can win being just like Bush, even Republicans are sick of Bush. Romney isn't trusted by the right-wing, but he's the closest they've got-McCain is conservative but they don't trust him at all, too much of a wild card. Rudy is too liberal, too many wives.
Dem: Obama is too young and a black man can't even get elected a Senator in the south, let alone Prez. I'm sorry, but the US is still too racist to elect a black person President. Edwards doesn't come across as tough enough, even though I think he'd do fine. Hillary still comes off as the strongest candidate, even though it will be hard to get elected being a woman and having Bill as her baggage.
Edit: All of the Rep Prez candidates are too conservative for me, but I like Rudy, but I don't expect a perfectly moral Prez like the Rep's do. As far as the Dem's go, I would be happy with any of the top three, Clinton, Obama, or Edwards. Actually, I think they're pretty similar, but I haven't bothered to look into anyone seriously, since I won't have any say in who is the nominee, only the President. Even then, the electoral college elects the Prez, not the popular vote.

I will vote in the elections, but I can't say who I will vote for. I'll most likely vote for the Republican nominee, but don't know who that will be. If I feel the candidate is too weak or to far from my views I may choose a third party candidate.
I don't think it likely I will be voting for the Democratic candidate, but I won't absolutely rule it out until I see both ballots.
I am not particularly happy with either political party, but I lean more Republican than Democrat.

Yes i always vote. If i do not i have lost my voice of what i think needs and doesn't need in our country.
I think all the running candidates come up short in experience and basic values that are honest.

Yes I will vote as I've done for forty years. There are two candidates which I find acceptable.

Yes, I don't see any real leadership from the Democraps. and very little from the Republicans. I have always voted, and was even dumb enough to have voted for jimmie carter.

Absolutely! But it will be a dilemma if the two major candidates running are Huckabee and Obama! :)
