Okay the descripion for this IMHO says its the place for polling so I decided to start the most standard poll of all who are you going to vote for for president. (I realize that this may not be the first one, but a snapshot of this particular time might be interesting, compared to others done at other times.)I’m not trying to start a debate, so simply ‘who’ is good enough. Who would you ‘want’ to be President(out of people likely to be on or near the ballot), and who are you planning to vote for when pragmatism is put in the equation(foreigner’s opinions welcome.) want: Browne vote: Bush ---

I can’t vote. Long story. But if I could, I wouldn’t. I’ve always eventually was disappointed by the winners, even if I voted for them. ---

Voting for Albert Gore. I guess I read too much Molly Ivins to vote for George W. Bush. ---

Voting for Gore. I live in the Republican-dominated west suburbs of Chicago, and I’ve grown up with a healthy distrust of Republicans. I agree with much of Gore’s platform and strongly disagree with Bush’s entire shtick. ---

I too want Harry B., but I know that will only help Gore, so I’ll hold my nose and vote for Bush! (sigh):rolleyes: ---

I’m another one who would prefer Browne, but will vote for Bush. ---

I’d prefer Gore to win over Bush, but I’m voting for Nader. ---

Nader. Bush is too much of a pansy to do anything really bad if he wins, so I don’t have to worry about hurting Gore’s odds. ---
