  1. Yes, I could go either way. Obama and McCain have two weeks to try to win me over.

    18.5%
  2. No, I know who I'm voting for. Outside of major sex/murder scandal, my mind is set.

    81.5%
  3. I don't vote.

    I was, up until a few weeks ago. But it was more for whether or not I am voting for McCain, which I decided NOT to do based on his statements, lack of command and various other factors.

    I am, not going to vote for Obama either.

    I'll likely vote third party. If enough people vote third party, hopefully it will reshift the focus of the Republican party on the ideals it is hypothetically founded on.

    Sorry, I didn't really account for third parties. Just replace "Obama and McCain have two weeks to try to win me over," with, "The candidates have two weeks blah blah blah."

    I'm not undecided, I'm writing in Ron Paul.

    Vote for someone ON the ballot. When official election results are posted, it would be good to have a large number of candidates on one position.

    (hint: Alan Keyes).

    I'm voting for who I want to vote for, not the lesser of some evils, and certainly not for someone like Keyes.

    Keyes!

    You're voting for "Write in", not "Ron Paul".

    Ron Paul cannot possibly win if people don't vote for him. I see it as my duty to vote for the man I want to win.

    If he's not on the ballot, your vote will not be registered I believe. You will be grouped under "Write-In". I don't believe they specify if its Ron Paul you are writing in. These are voting machines, they can't read your handwriting.

    If 60M people vote for Paul, they're going to have to put him in office.

    I wonder if undecided voters wait until the last minute to vote in OR, or if the receipt of the ballot leads them to make up their mind. If the latter, the candidates have less than 2 weeks to convince them.

    Anyone know when OR ballots are being mailed out? Seems like it should be soon.

    No, but the electronic voting machines don't have to read/recognize handwriting. In fact they're better, since you type in the guy's name.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm sortof leaning toward one candidate. But I'll give the other candidates the remaining 2-3 weeks to win me over.

    I was undecided until the first debate. I'm not voting for a candidate for President, I'm voting against a political belief I believe will be destructive. John McCain would at least provide a four year breaking mechanism. With a President Obama, it's full steam ahead to Sweden. I've lived in Sweden; they can have it.

    Alan Keyes is one of the most vile men in America. I'd recommend voting for Barr or Nader before Keyes.
