I have not decided 100%, although I am leaning heavily to McCain/Palin. If I DID vote otherwise, it would be for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party as a conscience vote.

Right now, I think I would have a worse conscience if I voted that way and McCain lost by 1% or something.......... :cry:

Why wasn't Baldwin in the poll?

A conservative, pentecostal, Christian voting for a "no possibility" is the same as a vote for Obama.

Shellie & Gerald,

I respect your conclusion, and understand why you feel as you do. I, however, do not feel a vote for either primary candidate is a valid or good one for our nation. IF the Consitution party were not running I would probably feel compelled to vote against the greater of two evils. But with the Constitution party running I can vote FOR a candidate and platform I believe in, and that is the whole purpose of voting in the first place -- to vote for someone.

I understand your reaction. I can only say that (at least for me) there is a fundamental difference in voting for someone who may not receive as many votes as another candidate with whom I disagree on moral and spiritual grounds than actually voting for the candidate who embraces, supports, and condones those things.

One is still indirectly a vote againts Obama in principle. The other is pretty near close to the line (if not out right crossing that sucker) of being counted among those who "not only those who do evil but those who have pleasure in them."

I voted today - and cast my vote for Chuck Baldwin, Constitution Party candidate. Why isn't he listed in the poll?

I could not in all good conscience vote for Obama, McCain, or Barr since they and their parties do NOT line up with my beliefs or the beliefs I see laid out in Scripture; nor do they line up with what I believe the Constitution of the United States.

Should I have voted for the lessor of two evils? Or would I have voted for the evil of two lessors?

Response: You have to ask?

The greater of two evils?

Several people have stated that they are voting for third party candidates with absolutely no chance of winning because they don't want to choose "the lesser of two evils". Their choice has the effect, however, of helping the greater of two evils get elected.
