Are you a US Citizen over the age of 18?

Don't forget to vote tomorrow no matter how you feel about either politician.

Vote! The rest of the world is counting on you.

Not really. I don't give two hoots who wins.

I do. Seven guys from my town are currently in Afghanistan. So it's relevant to me.

It won't make a difference.

Honestly that for the majority of people is probably pretty unpersuasive. I would vote but I am under 18 so not till next election...

Kudos to you!!! Well said!!! That is what it is about.

With either candidate there will be changes and improvements and mistakes, and somethings will pass Congress and others won't.

Actually, in some states with a known by far greater majority voting for one candidate or the other, if you are not voting for the candidate than is by far in the lead your vote means just about not anything due to the electoral college process.

So, vote if you want to and don't vote if you want to, it's your choice, and that is democracy.

Either way you should vote. It tells the candidates you care enough and that your viewpoint exists and can't be ignored. There are also non-Presidential candidates running, so even if your a Californian Republican or a Texan Democrat you may end up getting someone you like somewhere into office.

Yes, basically, but it also doesn't matter if one is in the situation I described.

I always vote and have so since I was able to.

You're not completely right. If there is a higher republican turnout in for example, California this election than there was last election, it might encourage Republicans to campaign more actively in Cali next time.

Yes, that is true, then again it might not be true, it all depends.

I vote in every national election, although I missed one and voted for Alfred E. Newman or is it Neuman in another, and I don't believe my missed vote or my voting for Alfred affected the final outcome of the election in any manner.

However, as you say is true to some degree, especially in states where there is a close margin of support between the two candidates.

It is better to vote than not to vote.

Can you vote "blank" in US elections?

Can you vote "blank" in US elections?

Theoretically you can, but the more popular option is the write in Mickey Mouse.

Like my state, even if I was planning to vote tomorrow (Im not) not voting for Obama would be a waste voted. Hell my vote has been a wasted since I cast my first vote for Bush back in 92 Democrats could run a retarded midget and probably win New York by 1 or 2 points.

I wish Mccain had won the Republican nomination 4 or even 8-yeasr ago, but unfortunately W did. I voted for W. There are a lot of republicans not pleased with W and company.
