Please give your party affiliation and if the election were held today whether you support your party's nominee, cross over to the other nominee, or decline to cast a vote given the following matchups. If you would cross, please provide an explanation.
I'll go first:

I am a Democrat

Clinton-Giulianni: Decline to Vote
Clinton-Romney: Decline to Vote
Clinton-Huckabee: Huck, because I think he'd be powerless
Clinton- McCain: McCain, because I think he's more credible on the environment and Iraq.

Obama-Giulianni: Obama
Obama-Romney: Obama
Obama-Huck: Obama
Obama-McCain: Obama

Edwards-Giulianni: Edwards
Edwards-Romney: Edwards
Edwards-Huck: Edwards
Edwards-McCain: Edwards
 
You have way too many choices- it's binary now on both sides clinton/obama v McCain/Romney

I'm a conservative (not a republican)

Clinton- Romney- Romney (holding my nose)
Clinton-McCain- Decline to vote

Obama-Romney- Romney (holding my nose)
Obmana-McCain- Either Obama or no vote.

I say that now, but if push came to shove I might go out and vote against Hilary.
 
Independent.

Clinton-Giulianni: Giuliani
Clinton-Romney: Clinton
Clinton-Huckabee: Clinton
Clinton- McCain: McCain

Obama-Giulianni: Don't know
Obama-Romney: Obama
Obama-Huck: Obama
Obama-McCain: Don't know

Edwards-Giulianni: Giuliani
Edwards-Romney: Romney
Edwards-Huck: Decline
Edwards-McCain: McCain
 
I'm an Independent and I'm voting for whoever the Libertarians throw out as their candidate. No matter who the Ds or Rs run.
 
I strongly dislike the two major political parties.

Clinton-Giulianni: Rudy
Clinton-Romney: Libertarian
Clinton-Huckabee: Clinton
Clinton- McCain: McCain

Obama-Giulianni: Libertarian
Obama-Romney: Libertarian
Obama-Huck: Obama
Obama-McCain: Libertarian

Edwards-Giulianni: Rudy
Edwards-Romney: Romney
Edwards-Huck: Libertarian
Edwards-McCain: McCain
 
Obama-Giulianni
Obama-Romney
Obama-Huck
Obama-McCain

Seeing those names like that makes me realize that Obama just shithammers all of them. Romney is the only one with a chance.
 
Independent...hate both parties. Political ideology: centrist. I'll never "abstain" from voting but will go with the lesser of 2 evils if I don't like either candidate. I voted for Gore and Kerry over Bush in that manner. Hated them all but hated Gore and Kerry less.


Clinton-Romney: Hmmm...tough. Romney mainly due to my growing distain for the Clinton politico machine.
Clinton- McCain: McCain without any reservation. I actually like him and his straight-shooting approach.

Obama-Romney: Obama, easy.
Obama-McCain: Obama- I've bought into the mythos of Obama's desire to change the political climate of divisivenes.
 
Independent but strongly considering registering D to vote in primaries. I have no problem voting R when policy and character are sufficient, which for me hasn't been since '88 in a presidential.

I will vote D under all scenarios this time around.

The one caveat would be Clinton-McCain if McCain had the opposite stance on Iraq. I could vote for McCain under those imaginary circumstances, but McCain's hawkish rhetoric on Iraq and bomb bomb Iran is dumb and reckless, imo, and probably causes him the presidency - even against Hillary.

Independent

McCain over Hillary
Obama over Romney
McCain toss-up Obama
Hillary versus Romney - move back to Canada

I am a conservative and I know most of you think I'm an asshat, but here is my take:

Clinton-Giulianni: Giuliani
Clinton-Romney: Romney
Clinton-Huckabee: Will not vote
Clinton- McCain: Will not vote. I would never vote for McCain

Obama-Giulianni: Giuliani
Obama-Romney: Romney
Obama-Huck: Will not vote
Obama-McCain: Will not vote

Edwards-Giulianni: Giuliani
Edwards-Romney: Romney
Edwards-Huck: Will not vote
Edwards-McCain: Will not vote

By the way, you misspelled Giuliani.
 
I will vote for Ron Paul regardless of the nominees. This is partly because I live in Galveston, so this state will go to Romney regardless. I will point out that I strongly believe that Obama will handily beat Romney, and that this result sits well with me.
 
Dem

*Obama over all Repub candidates
*Edwards over all Repub candidates
*McCain over Clinton or no vote at all (would be the first time since I've been eligible).
 
Almost identical to the OP:

Clinton-Giulianni: Abstain / 3rd party
Clinton-Romney: Abstain / 3rd party
Clinton-Huckabee: Abstain / 3rd party
Clinton- McCain: McCain

Obama-Giulianni: Obama
Obama-Romney: Obama
Obama-Huck: Obama
Obama-McCain: Obama

Edwards-Giulianni: Edwards
Edwards-Romney: Edwards
Edwards-Huck: Edwards
Edwards-McCain: Edwards

Not that I get to vote, grumble grumble, even though I pay US taxes, grumble grumble, taxation without representation grumble grumble.
 
I am an independent

I will only vote if Guliani is on the ticket as I vote in New York

I will vote Guliani in that case vs anyone because I think tax policy is the number one issue and it dominates any other.

If a democratic candidate would vow not to raise taxes I would vote for the Democrat over anyone but Guliani

In a no tax raise election I would vote for Obama over guliani

I would vote for Guliani over Clinton
 
I am a Republican, but this will be the first time I vote for a Dem b/c I believe this country has to get out of Iraq as soon possible. I am willing to pay the price with the higher taxes that will be coming my way for 4 to 8 years.

I hope, hope, hope that I will get to vote for Obama. If Hillary gets the nomination, I will vote for her, then go get drunk.
 
Independent

I truly despise the two unAmerican parties!
I have no one to vote for thus, sadly, too many to vote against.

MY presidential stances, in order of importance, to me.

Law and order, security: secure borders, enforce laws, deportation (millions), tamperproof ident.

Jobs: bring'em back
Free trade: convert to Fair trade
Wars: back to defense, institute draft(fairness)
Affordable healthcare: whatever it takes
Social security: lockbox
Fair tax: re-train the irs
 
I am a Democrat and I will vote for the Democrat. The only Republicans I would even consider voting for are Huckabee and McCain, but I will not vote for either of them in this election.

I liked McCain in 2000, but I do not like the fact he campaigned for Bush in 2004. McCain started criticizing the War and Rumsfeld in November of 2003, but he was not able to change Bush's policy from November 2003 to November 2006. Now, he does deserve some credit for the surge, but Rumsfeld was only fired after the Republicans lost the 2006 midterm elections.
 
I'm a republican.

I will vote for Romney if he's on the ticket.

I will vote for McCain, somewhat willingly.

I will vote for Clinton over Huckabee.

I will abstain if it's Obama or Edwards and Huckabee.
 
was registered dem, (you gotta declare in Fl to vote in a primary), switched to Rep (fu DNC), voted Romney last sat, cause McCain is a scumbag, and unlucky, **** that hero ******** he ****** up and got shot down, and the missle that went off on the Forrestal and caused the big fire and all the deaths went off under McCain's plane, bad luck, he was part of the Keating 5 crooks, he supported and passed a law that is is in direct defiance of the first ammendment.


I haven decided yet who I will support for president, if Nader runs, it will be him, if not, who knows.
 
I will also vote Democrat no matter what in any national election. I vote Republican about 30% of the time for local offices, but never have for a national election, and never will unless they decide to move away from attempting to dictate morals.

The problem with national politics is that there are no free thinkers. They talk a lot of **** while they are running for office, but once in there, they toe the party line. This is especially true of Senators and Representatives. They don't even need to have names, just a D or an R. So it really comes down to which party's platform I like better. Right now, its the Democratic Party. Even though I don't support everything in the platform, its closer to what I want then the Republicans.
 
I will vote for the Republican nominee in any case. All the Dems running want to pull our troops out of Iraq as soon as possible and I believe this to be an intensely moronic notion.
 
Clinton-Giulianni: Alan Keyes
Clinton-Romney: Alan Keyes
Clinton-Huckabee: Huckabee
Clinton- McCain: McCain

Obama-Giulianni: Alan Keyes
Obama-Romney: Alan Keyes
Obama-Huck: Hukcabee
Obama-McCain: McCain

Edwards-Giulianni: Alan Keyes
Edwards-Romney: Alan Keyes
Edwards-Huck: Huckabee
Edwards-McCain: McCain

I just hope it is neither Romney or Obama. Those the my least favourite of all the candidates. I am an indy who voted for Kinky for governor last election, an d has voted Republical about 60% of the time. I have never voted for a Democrat for President though. I will admit that much.
 
I don't have a political party.

I also will vote no matter who is on the ballot. If I cannot support either candidate, I simply vote for a 3rd party or, as in 2004, my wife.
