Inspired by [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=470807), how many Dopers have decided that they will vote for someone other than Mr. Obama? No candidate bashing-just wondering who has already made a decision about it. ---

[QUOTE=silenus] I love threads like this one. Saves me the trouble of keeping a list! šŸ˜ƒ [/QUOTE] Me, too. Except, my list will be one of whoā€™ll be warned because of a hijack of this thread. I think itā€™s obvious that we have enough threads on the board where Obama supporters can gloat and poke fun of the McCain supporters, so anyone whose appearance in _this_ thread is due to a repeat of that, kindly go play elsewhere. ---

Hey, donā€™t mistake me for any kind of McCain supporter. The OP specified who wouldnā€™t be **voting** for Obama, and I can assure you I will not be. Or McCain either. ---

Unfortunately, thereā€™s no way to use the ā€œlocationā€ field to signal how totally inane I find the use of the ā€œlocationā€ field to convey political messages, without the universe being crushed by the weight of the obvious irony. So Iā€™ll content myself with this one wee little post instead. šŸ™‚ ---

I think **SSG Schwartz** ā€™s Insane for the McCain is pretty damn clever though. I feel like we need one more thread. Those who are sure they are voting for one of the two leading candidates but still respect the other candidate and their voters. This sure beats last time where I was in the usual lesser of two evils mode. ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] Hey I know it is inane, but it is a lot easier to remove than a bumper sticker. [/QUOTE] And a lot less meaningful! Which of course really says something.
