[Vision2020] Who are you voting for and why?

[Sue Hovey]

Just a question, Scott.  Why do you feel Supreme Court nominations aren’t worth a lot?  Your sentence that follows your statement doesn’t negate the value of the makeup of the Court. Maybe swings, hardly liberal.  Well I suppose one could say Warren did turn much more liberal, but his appointment was to keep him out of a presidential race, not so much because of his political bent.

I'm undecided.  It's almost impossible that I'd vote for Romney/Ryan, but never say 'never' and it would make no difference to me whether they win the White House or whether Obama/Biden are reelected.  I don't particularly see too much difference between them and I don't see either of them being able to exert much influence over the deeply partisan Congress.  Supreme Court nominations aren't worth a whole lot any more.  Many a Republican nomination over the last several decades have turned out to be liberal or swings anyway.

The over riding reason that I'm not putting a whole of effort into deciding who to vote for is because my vote (or lack thereof) will have zero outcome on the election because I do not live in an all important swing state and it's a foregone conclusion as to which camp gets all of my state's electoral votes.  Beyond that, Obama will have already been declared the winner by the time I pull the proverbial lever because the polls will have already closed across all the eastern, central, and mountain states.

So I'm just kind of enjoying all of the political theater at this point.  I'd prefer a heck of a lot more mud slinging from the both candidates, but it looks like they're going to play it clean with all the 'he's a nice guy, we just disagree' comments thus far.

I'm just curious who has decided upon which candidates and what your reasons are for choosing them.  Is anyone undecided?

What about offices other than President?  Or the propositions and amendments and whatnot?

Here is a link to a sample ballot for Latah County: http://www.latah.id.us/elections/2012gen/SAMPLE_LATAH%2011-6-12.pdf

Hoping for a constructive conversation,

Paul
