Even those not in the US can vote…who do you cast your vote for? No explainations unless you want to.

I cast my vote for Ralph Nader.

There are already two threads in IMHO on this same subject. I’d imagine this one will join them shortly.

I’m voting for George W. Bush, for the good and sufficient reason that he’s not Al Gore.

If the election were held right now, my ballot would have Bush’s name on it. However, I’m still willing to change my mind between now and the real election day. The only person I know I’m NOT voting for is Gore.

If there’s no debate, just a survey, it should be in IMHO. So that’s where it’s going.
