Same with me, I vote for who I think is the best candidate, how about you?

The way I look at it is that Obama has some serious issues with wanting to deliberately destroy our 'exceptionalism' here in America. Romney at least, if he does make mistakes, will make honest mistakes, and not 'on purpose' mistakes.

I consider and vote for other party candidates when I want to send a message to the incumbent(s). But other than that I vote along party lines. Tomorrow I will vote in our city election, here we hold early voting, and I'm only voting for one incumbent and will vote for other party candidates. Because I don't agree with some of the incumbent candidates that are in office.

Personally I am Glad WA State quit making you only eligible to Vote one party or another, and not both. I personally am proud to admit many times I will vote different parties if their is a candidate on the Ballot of different parties I feel would be best fit. Many times I think this should continue to be a right, and in reality, may the Best person always win.

I have always voted for who I feel is the most qualified for the position. When I was a kid, the parties meant something to me. But as a teen I realized it don't make $h1t difference. The crooks exist in both leading parties. The fact that no one outside the Dem/Rep has ever made it to the Whitehouse in any recent time is a good indicator. I personally think it is time to do away with political parties completely. When personnel directors interview potential employees, they make decisions based on abilities of the candidate, not what "gang" they are a member of. We are long overdue for such a system to run this country. I hope we get one before we go the way of the Roman Empire.

No, I don't. I vote for whomever I feel is the best or, sadly, the lesser of two evils if there is no other choice. To me it isn't about the party, it's about the person.

No, I don't. I'm a Republican but I'll vote for a Democrat, an Independent or a Libertarian if I think they are the best person for the office. I think a lot of the troubles we have are because people vote for someone just because of their party. They don't bother to look into the candidate's policies and beliefs and judge whether they're most qualified for the office. People should think when they vote, not just vote their party. In my opinion, of course.
