    I didn't vote in the poll because I have not made that decision. Depends in part on the VP choice. I might write in Ron Paul or vote for the Libertarian candidate. The only thing written in stone is that I won't vote to pbama.

    Those 2 Obama votes must be single issue voters.

    My guess: Potheads or anti-war

    I will vote Santorum or Newt. I just could not stomach to vote for Romney. So if he is nominee, I will not vote. It would be interesting to see how he would debate BO about Obama-Romney Care.

    I'll vote third party before I vote for either Obama or the GOP.

    Neither of which makes sense as Obama is persecuting marijuana users on a scale not seen in years, and he's probably going to start a war in Iran.

    Romney or gingrich... I don't vote. Santorum... I vote for Obama. ONLY in the hopes that in doing so we will A: prevent santorum the dumbass from being president, and B: let Obama have four more years to ensure that in 2016 we find a DECENT republican candidate to sweep the victory.

    It makes sense I probably just wasn't clear enough. I mean, they only care about a few issues, they're liberal, but will vote for Ron Paul to end the war (because Obama won't) or legalize weed (which Obama won't, and Ron Paul won't but he'll leave it up to the states).

    If they legalized pot:

    • U.S. would save MILLIONs prosecuting pot cases;
    • U.S. would save MILLIONs from not having to house jailed pot dealers/users;
    • U.S. would SAVE LIVES fighting the drug wars against illegal POT smuggling;
    • U.S. could TAX IT and use that $$ to REDUCE the deficit;
    • Alcohol consumption would likely DECREASE and thereby REDUCE:
    1. auto accidents;
    2. liver disease;
    3. domestic violence;
    4. etc., etc.

    Why can't they see this?
    (Tho I believe every one who wants to should be able to grow a few plants in their home for their own use and should be excluded from any taxation)

    I'll write-in Paul. Either that or third party. Either way, the GOP can't win without us.

    I voted "Obama" just because your poll sucks, and you left out a write-in.

    Yeah, cry about it, but it's going to happen. And it absolutely will have an effect. Paul's base has grown significantly since last time, and you know that if a good chunk of Paul supporters don't support the GOP nominee, you're going to lose. But that's too bad, isn't it?

    Ain't just my poll that sucks. Its the Republican Establishment who suck. They are always trying to shove THEIR picks down our throats and back them with huge contributions.

    THIS ELECTION SUCKS!!

    You left out the option "it depends on who the nominee is". People who support Paul look at the person, not the party. They support PAUL as a person, not just because he is a member of the Republican party. So the personality type that supports Paul would look at the individual first, not the party.

    That was pretty much my stance. I may MAY vote for Gingrich because he agrees with Dr. Paul alot on fiscal policies, and might give him charge over the fed or something. But Gingrich is really just a good debater. Thats about all he has going for him realistically
