Hi elmiko! I don't mind saying who I voted for! I voted for
Obama too! He was the best choice considering that I hated
McCain! I am not thrilled with some of the things he is doing
at this point, especially with his Healthcare Reform, but I
am still behind him! I just hope that he keeps the rest of
his promises and gets us out of this mess that we are in!

It all depends on who I am talking to. A lot of my friends and I vote for the same people and the same political parties (some of us are Canadian, some are American, but we often like the same candidates in both countries) so we will often talk about who we will vote for, or who we voted for.

I don't mind telling my friends who i voted for, however they have never really ask me as yet, but if they were to, yes i would tell them....I understand that most people feel this is a very private matter, so therefore i would never ask anyone, but as far as i am concerned , I would not care....

i didn't vote in 2000 when i was 18 because i couldn't make up my mind. i remember looking at the polls in 2000 and there was really no clear indication on who would win. i remember asking somebody if it was possible for someone to win the popular vote and the other candidate to win the electoral college. they said they didn't think it was possible. 2000 proved its possible.

Other people are very secretive. For me, I don't care telling anybody who is the person I voted for. It's my right to vote. No one can dictate me. I will follow my conscience.

I voted for Obama and still don't regret it. If it was between Hillary Clinton and McCain I would have picked Clinton. There was no way I wanted another Republican in office. I don't go around saying who I voted for but if asked I will tell with no problem at all.

I choose not to say who I vote for during elections times, but I will say this; I'm darn happy it was McCain who won, but unfortunately Obama isn't holding up to his words either. Then again, I have a strong believe and understanding of Politics so it's somewhat a topic I try to avoid, because there are MANY STRONG OPINIONS OUT THERE right now.

I do not tell people. It's not the fact that I care if people know. it's the fact that it's not their business knowing.

For me it depends on who I am talking to whether I tell or not. I voted McCain, and if people ask I'll usually tell. I never ask another person though. It's risky as it often leads to argument and besides that it's none of my business. I have 5 or 6 friends that I am comfortable to talk politics with, but outside that circle of friends, I feel it best to just keep politics out of conversation all together. I think it's better for the relationship with clients, friends etc.
