What followed actually was kind of surpising. I knew I was no Hillary fan, but I was surprised by how low on the list she was, and how much higher on the list Biden was.<BR/><BR/>None of which will have much impact on my vote, sadly. I believed all that "vote your hope, not your fear" nonsense in 2000. I voted my hope and ended up with Bush. From that point on, I've voted out of blind terror.

I'll cast my ideological vote and hope for the best; none of the so-called mainstream Republican candidates line up with my views well, and because of inane election law in New York, even if I felt inclined to change parties, October 12 was the latest date for party changes to take place for the upcoming primary.<BR/><BR/>In any case, I feel that my primary vote is much more meaningful than my general election vote, particularly in a state like mine, New York which will be won by the Democrats, undoubtedly.Wesley Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017687152372205222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655521.post-58188752858244095362007-10-30T18:55:00.000-05:002007-10-30T18:55:00.000-05:00According to the quiz, I should support (1) Tom Ta...According to the quiz, I should support (1) Tom Tancredo and (2) Duncan Hunter.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854543617806427302noreply@blogger.com
