  • Any third-party candidate or a write-in

  • I won't be voting in the presidential race

Frankly, I don't think I'm voting. I hope Puff Daddy will find me and shoot me.

On second thought, I changed my mind. Santorum, due to the abortion issue.

I'll be voting for Obama because I'm a Satanist.

And I wouldn't be able to marry my dog.

I'm not really sure, actually. I'll probably just not vote because I don't support Obama or any of the leading republicans. I'd vote Paul but I don't think he's going to make it, unfortunately. I guess I could still write him in.

I would probably vote Libertarian or Peace and Freedom(like it matters), anyone else besides the main candidates.

If Santorum does win the nomination the Democratic Convention is going to be like Mardi Gras. Obama could get up there and read 'The Cat in the Hat' for his convention speech and still get the majority of the vote.

Write in or not voting at all.

Obama kinda ruined the voting process for me already... and then all of the bs that's happened this year w\ the GOP side of things just really discourages me from wanting to vote.

Why would I vote for Obama? He simply continued bush policies and made no change. Why would I vote for Romney or Santorum? Both are going to be equal or worse than Obama. Certainly Santorum is less educated and less sane than Obama but that doesn't mean I'd vote for Obama again.

I will have to sit this one out. Normally I would vote the lesser of two evils... but in this case I could not have that on my conscience.

My vote in my state makes no difference in the outcome of the election. I know I will not even bother voting, regardless of who the GOP candidate is.

If there is a viable 3rd party candidate that's who I would vote for. Otherwise I might have to sit this one out.

You're certainly free to vote however you wish, but unless it comes with a huge personal impact, I never understood "hot button" voting. If the election were a guy you agreed with 90% of the time, but was ok with abortion, against a guy you strongly disagreed with 90% of the time, but was against abortion, would you still vote for the latter?

Obama. There will be two realistic candidates in this race, and Santorum is just intolerably awful.

None of the candidates, including Obama, have "no problem with abortion". It's a question of degree, specific problems, and conditions.

If a Neo-Nazi won the nomination, but was a pro-lifer running against a pro-choice incumbent, I wouldn't vote for him. There's a question of degree involved, but Santorum doesn't sufficiently meet the "anti-christ" criterion to invoke it.

Obama, I guarantee you, is far more okay with it than Santorum is, or for that matter any of the republican field.

That's not what you said, though. You said the non-Santorum candidates had "no problem with abortion", suggesting that they think it's fine in any and all circumstances and should not be restricted in any way.

The only Republican I'd vote for is Paul. Obama and the Democrats are barely discernible from that bunch of nimrods, so that's a no go also.

It will be a 3rd party or Paul write-in for me.
