How did you decide who to vote for?

I don't always vote for one party, but I usually do. The main issues that I'm placing my vote on this November are energy, education and the economy. In my opinion, Obama has a better laid out plan to cover these things. McCain's plan is to develop alternatives. Obama's plan goes further into detail on how this can be accomplished. I know this has been brought up, but I don't think "Drill baby Drill" is enough. I like Obama's education plan over McCain's. I think Obama will do more to help the middle class. I know there are many who disagree on this point, but that's my opinion. I always look at both candidate's positions on issues, I just usually lean left in my beliefs.

The debates will be very important.Hopefully a full depression will not happen. The issue are destroy terrorist, restore the the economy, reduce crime and juvenile delinquency, education, &supporting public transportation. Both candidates need to read the book Execution-a book on how to turn lofty goals into accomplishments

I start with what is most important to me. I am a conservative, a Constitutionalist. I want to ensure that government gets smaller and personal responsibility and self sufficiency gets bigger. I will look over the candidates to see whose platform is closest.

For me its going to be 3rd party because im tired of all the others bashing each other... plus i really dont see how either of the candidates are going to help all that much. but i usually look at all the issues and pick the one who is going to be the closet to the America i want to have for me and my family
