Poll question: Hillary or Barak? Who should I voter for tomorrow?
I usually participate in early or absentee voting. But this time I waited until the actual primary day because I just cannot decide between Senator Clinton or Senator Obama. I have friends working on each campaign. I have donated to both candidates. I have been over the pros and cons of each candidate hundreds of times, but I just cannot decide. They each have strengths and weaknesses.

I though about flipping a coin. But where is the fun in that? So I have decided to cast my ballot in tomorrow's Florida Primary for whomever wins this DU poll. I will leave my apartment at 6:45 tomorrow morning, so voting will end then.

4. Why even post such a poll here, Obama supporters outnumber Hillarys by 10 to 1. I didn't vote.

23. Just because the Patriots are 12 point favorites doesn't mean you cancel the Super Bowl
Besides, if Obama supporters actually do outnumber Hillarys by 10 to 1, she is at least beating the spread.

5. Go to each of the candidate's websites...
and learn about how they feel about the ISSUES....then vote YOUR heart...not the will of DU...and I say that even if my candidate (Clinton) comes out on top. Your vote should be YOUR vote...and it isn't something to take so lightly that you create a poll and let other people decide for you. Heck...vote for Kucinich...vote for Romney...but make it your vote.

6. Visualize yourself voting for each of them, then see how your gut feels
when you do. Go with the one that makes you feel "ahhh - it's okay" rather than the on that makes you go "I hope I did the right thing".

You obviously have researched them both and have likes and dislikes about each one -- just get out of your own way and you'll do what's right.

Good luck!

Are you going to let us know?

8. If you, in your heart have found out what Obama's vague Vision thing is all about
and agree with it, then go for him.

On the other hand, Hillary has set out specifics (in my opine).

15. Edwards
Ted Kennedy can endorse whomever he pleases, but that doesn't change the fact that most of the country has not yet voted.

Choose the candidate who can do the best for this country, and reverse the destructive direction of the last 28 years.

24. At DU that's like flipping a two headed coin
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 08:56 PM by Tom Rinaldo
That has just as much suspense about the outcome, lol.

You must really want to vote for Obama. Admit it.
