ATOT election 2004 poll.

[notfred]

See poll. Also, see note in topic summary regarding any "wrong forum" comments.

 

[daveshel]

THis could prove useful.

 

[dullard]

I don't think ATOT is a good place either for the poll. We are almost all young and most have or are working on their college degree. Thus this puts us highly into the typical democrat land.

 

[RagingBITCH]

A "I did not vote last time nor this time" would be perfect.

yeah, why not just pre-populate the poll 70-75% Kerry and 20-25% Bush and save everyone the trouble of clicking the little buttons

 

[Feldenak]

I voted for Bush last time and will probably vote for Bednarik this time.

Because I'm mostly interested in seeing how many people plan on switching parties from the last time they voted.

"I'm too young to vote, or anything not covered above."

 

[wuggle]

not a US citizen, but if I were, I'd be voting Kerry

WOW. Not voting even with a political sig.

I find that a bit hypocritical.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

OK, I'm responsible for the offical exit poll.

ummm...do you have a point? Bush will own Kerry in TX anyway. I'll use my time to do something else more productive, thanks.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

voted for brown last time

will vote kerry this time for reasons outlined in someones sig here - try to split balance of power in congress and executive.

i think the presidential vote is rigged anyways though which is why i dont feel bad betraying my true stance. (this is highly cynical, slightly paranoid, probably irrational, and based solely on an unforgettable encounter with a crazy black lady prior to the 2000 election)

i have met michael badnarik and would love to vote libertarian if in fact there was any hope of representation presidential or otherwise... btw hes a very cool guy, can recite most of the consititution and is a fellow austinite

btw for you other austinites, hes having a public debate with the Green (commie) party candidate sometime next week on campus. pm me and i can get you more details.

He doesn't have to vote, lives in Texas, a very red state.

(of course that only works if you're a big fan of the Electoral College)

here in OT, who knows.
but if you are talking across the country, my opinion is that enough "independent" voters that voted for Gore will go for Bush this time to make this election not rest upon the results from a single state like in 2000.

if the Democrats had run a candidate similar to Clinton (southern/midwest Govenor, moderate not ultra-liberal) vs. a candidate similar to the other recent Democratic losers (Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, northeast/DC very liberal to extremely liberal) , then those same voters that voted Gore in 2000 would put Bush out of office.

the Democrats picked the WRONG guy, WRONG election, WRONG time :laugh:

 

[NuclearNed]

Where's the option for my candidate, Bruce Banner? This year I'm voting for the green party.

 

[Xionide]

How about "im to young to vote but would vote kerry/bush"?

I don't really give a crap who you "would" vote for if you're not going to influence the outcome of the election.

 

[shuan24]

I hope enough people in Texas are like ragingbitch so that kerry will win due to the overwhelming majority of republican laziness.

I think you are way of base, personally. I think it will be the exact opposite. Oh well, guess we will all see in November.

 

[Nebor]

I voted for Bush last time, but I'm not voting this time.

You don't have an option for that. No point in voting in Texas anyways, it'll go to Bush no matter what.

I'm 100% against the electoral college in this day and age (it had great reasons back before radio, TV, and the internet). Thus, I feel quite a lot of pride in voting for someone who has absolutely no chance of winning my state. The more times we get the person with the least votes to win, the more likley we can finally get rid of the electoral college.

so you think the Clinton moderates will be willing to vote for the #1 most liberal Senator ?
as you say, we'll know in < 30 days

i also think it is interesting that very few Senators have been elected President, where state Govenors have been very successful, especially in the 20th century at reaching the White House

p.s. i fully support the electoral college. if/when it goes away, tyranny of the majority will take full hold of the United States and we'll quickly sink into oblivion as those that want power quickly offer the masses "loaves and fishes" in exchange for votes. the patronage system that killed the Roman republic will extinguish the grand experiement that this nations founders cobbled together

 

[Bateluer]

I missed being able to vote in the 2000 elections by a few months. Turned voting age in Jan 01. Fortunately, I've been able to exercise my voting rights now for some time. Definitely going to vote this year, for President Bush.

There are some 3rd Party candidates that I would vote for, had they a chance of actually winning though.

I think the people most wrapped up in the whole how liberal Kerry is deal are conservatives, not moderates. Most people don't fit into neat little labels.
