You left-off Bob Barr. If Nader's included, he should be.

I'm anti-McCain, but my support for Obama is not whole-hearted. So I'm not enormously upset that I have a medical procedure scheduled today, and I'll miss voting....

I consider Mr. Obama the lesser evil compared to Mr. McCain like I did when it was Mr. Obama vs. Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Obama was against the war on Iraq, this speaks for him.
He takes advice from Dennis Ross, at least he said so, this speaks against him.

I never voted for a Green Party and I would not do so where I live. I do not understand what should be wrong with what Microsoft does.
However, with the options written here, I would vote for Ralph Nader.

I would be extremely surprised if that happens. We do have a quite a few conservatives posting here, so I would expect McCain's vote to go up somewhat during the course of the day.

I see, now it would be funny, if Mr. McCain doesn't make it into the top two here

He's not particularly popular among P&CA conservatives.

Maybe they don't want to vote. Looking like an Obama landslide on this poll.

Possibly, but I disagree. It might have something to do with the dire situation the US is facing at this current moment in time. After all there is a record turnout happening at the polling booths today and I believe we will see McCain getting soundly beaten.

Barr is my second choice. And it was actually the opposite. Barr was on the ballot, but I had to write in Baldwin. Baldwin represents my views the best.
