I fall on the leaning right side. I voted for Romney, but I couldn't stomach voting for Joe Walsh, so I left that one blank (that is like a vote for Duckworth). Voted for GOP for my other two state reps (note McSweeney was going against an FAR-LEFT Green Party unashamed socialist and no D- that choice was easy), but I did vote for Democrats Anita Alaverz and Dorothy Brown!

Any other political hacks her not go all party lines?
 
I have never voted a straight ticket in my life
 
There are no JFK Democrats on My ballot, so no...I am not a Republican, but I have little other choice.....The Democrats running are all extremists and need to be removed.
 
Because California is so democrat, for one office there were two democrats running for the same office so I didn't vote in that one at all.

I always try to vote for the candidate that most closely represents my views. Last time I voted for RON PAUL. I won't make the mistake again. I will vote my view in the primary and for the candidate that wins the primary, that comes closest to my views.

I vote for the local sheriff, he is a democrat and I voted for the Democrat for US House.

I went all Democrat. It was the logical and moral thing to do, as all the Republican candidates stank. I don't always do that, but it was the correct vote in this case.

But according to Ghook, you have to make at least a token vote to the other side, even if there are no good candidates there. Otherwise you're a "political hack". It never even crosses his mind that a party line vote might be the most rational vote.
 
You should fill out your entire ballot, even if it is to write in Mickey Mouse. Don't leave any votes blank.

A Republican operative who volunteered as a ballot counter was caught in Oregon yesterday punching out the bubbles for Republican candidates on ballots where people had left some votes for some offices blank. God knows how many others there were. The voters are in an uproar.

This is exactly the kind of fraud I predicted a few days ago a person could do despite Voter ID or unhackable voting machines.

I split between Republican and Libertarian, I'm registered as an independent. I've voted Democratic many times in the past, but these days I only consider it for local office as they've all gone so extreme off the left wing deep end.
 
I flipped. I usually vote straight Conservative. But there was a local election where someone was Democrat, Conservative, Working Families and Green Party. I wrote in "Frank Zappa"

Wow, I did the exact same thing. I too voted on moral grounds, so obviously I voted for Republicans across the board. Call me a partisan hack, but Democrats had their chance in 2008, and they blew it.
 
I'm a Democrat for a reason. I believe in electing folks that are interested in governing. So no, I do not vote Republican.
 
I voted for Rep. Dale Folwell for Lt. Governor- he's a Tea Party candidate
Barbara Howe- the Libertarian candidate for our next Governor

MITT ROMNEY AND PAUL RYAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
The next President and Vice President of the United States of America!
 
My choices here in VA were George Allen (R) vs Tim Kaine (D) and Eric Cantor (R) vs Wayne Powell (D). Since Allen has done nothing except use Mitt Romney's empty talking points and attempt to scare VA voters with >200,000 job losses if Mitt isn't elected to continue funding the Military Industrial Complex, I voted for Kaine. Since Eric Cantor has become John Boehner's sock puppet and attack dog, I voted for Powell. I also voted for Obama over Romney. In my local races, I voted for the two Independents on the list over the incumbents.
