Given that it doesn't matter who I vote for in Utah, I always vote for the strongest non Republican/Democrat party. I am thinking that it is Gary Johnson this year.

Let's also include primaries. Will someone please admit they voted for John Edwards in the primaries?Part of it is based on academic grounds.

I did not, though I don't know if my primary vote that year was all that much better. In a spectacularly weak field, I voted for Joe Lieberman in 2004 over Edwards, Kerry, Dean, Kucinch, Clark, and Sharpton (gee, I wonder why the Dems didn't win that year).Originally posted by Color Me Badd Fan View Post
I am also probably the only one here to have voted for Paul Tsongas in a Presidential primary, in my first presidential election. I actually still like that one. Paul was a good guy.Comment

I voted for Perot in 92.

Having lived since '75 in either Utah or Davis County I haven't felt the need to vote. My candidates win easily.
However, in 1980 I made sure I got out and voted for Reagan. It was personal.
Same thing this year. Registered and getting out to vote for Romney.
If Frank sends me the list of "eagle forum" candidates running in my district though, I will be sure to vote for the other guy/gal while I am there.Comment

I could barely bring myself to vote for Gore-Kerry, but Bush 2.0 was just an abysmal option.
Then Obama/McCain happened.
I voted Libertarian as a protest vote. Hillary-Romney would have been a far better election and likely resulted in a far more effective leader.
