How many of you voted in the PRIMARY AND GENERAL ELECTIONS in 2008?
(I am not asking, and don't want to know, who you voted for, just if you voted)

I voted in both the Primary and General elections in 2008. I will definately vote in both elections this year.

In this county I live in there isn't a lot of voting I get to do in the primaries because there is almost never a republican running for anything ....The state and federal level is the only primary voting for a registered republican ...I have talked to several republicans that register democrat so they can have some say in the way the county is run ...kinda like taking money out of one pocket and putting it in the other so you can gain something ...

I think we should all vote for the same reason you guys do but in the last several years we have heard about giving folks rides to the polls so they can vote and things like that ...(I might get crucified here) but does anybody except me think that maybe we would be better off if the people that don't vote unless they are pushed or coaxed in some other way to vote would maybe just stay home that day....I have met a good many people that I would not want electing officials for me.

If the only reason you can find to vote for somebody is the "wiggle" of their tail or if you vote on the "hunk" scale then I would just as soon you stay home and watch Jerry Springer that day.
