    Okay, so it looks like the majority of our OT readers are voting for either Obama or Romney.

    Let's check another variable.

    This isn't a choice, but I am voting for Romney because Obama has shown me he can't do the job. Romney might fail as well, but at least he hasn't proved he will fail.

    Isn't that the 'lesser of two evils' option?

    No because Romney might end up as evil or more than Obama.

    Yeesh. I forgot how much this place relies on argumentative message board semantics. Okay. So the lesser of two evils option means "I don't like either of them, but I'm voting for X because I don't want the other guy even more." Or however you would word that.

    I took a survey somewhere that outlined what the candidates believed and how important each position was to you. I aligned 95% with Romney and 88% with Ron Paul. I think I aligned 43% with President Obama. Hence, I'm going to vote for Romney.

    Makes sense to me! I did a similar survey in 2008 and had similar high matching response for Obama. You have to vote who you think is the best fit for you! :cheers:

    I just took the 2012 election quiz and found that I side 94% with Gary Johnson, especially on Domestic policy, Economic, Foreign Policy, Healthcare, Science, and Environmental issues. Who do you side with?

    Good to know you'd never vote for Abraham Lincoln or someone with the political viewpoint of John Kennedy. Your open-mindedness and tolerance is noted, however.
