If it was someone besides McCain, I'd have voted Republican but since I don't like him and there was only the communist, I had to vote the communist.

Baldwin/Castle FTW!! Why is there only the big two, and an other? With 8 candidates, I thought you'd have at least half represented in the poll.
It's amazing how the election rules keep changing to make it much harder for the smaller parties to even get on the ballot.

He has no chance of winning, which IMHO with Barr isn't a bad thing. I just wanted the Libertarian's to gain some percentage points and votes.

CT keeping Barr off the ballot was BS. They collect 12,000 signatures more than the 7,500 required. CT stalled than said sorry to late.

Depends on what you mean by "from". Born in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic, still citizen there), spent a total of about 5 years there, 7 years in Japan, 7 years in Indonesia, and 13 years in the US. Considering the years spent and where my current home is, I consider myself "from" the US.

I almost voted for McCain as I am really tired of all this anxiety about the health of mothers and woman in general. Will you people get a life??

But then I remembered how much I yearn for worldwide communism so I voted Obama.

And pigs will fly when you do vote for a Rep Prez.

You won't get it either. It would be White House communism but not worldwide. Even China and Vietnam are seeing the wisdom of shedding it. More and more each day.

Wow, you're from there too? I don't drink, but if Obama wins I think I might this time. Funny thing is, as few Czechs as there are (only about 10 million and going down) you sure run into them everywhere. Recently my dad and I drove to Vancouver from Seattle and upon presenting our passports at the border the border guard starts speaking Czech to us. Needless to say we were very surprised.

There were other choices on my ballot that were not as offensive, I wish you would have chosen from among them.

Bastards delayed my citizenship. They say it's my background but I don't know what specifically. My wife got hers really quick.

Problem is that it is, in reality a race between McCain and Obama. The rest really don't matter too much. There is no chance both of them would die tonight so the others have little chance.

She's probably prettier than you are. Talk to a lawyer who specializes in immigration.
