Polls for the sole reason of sating my curiosity.

And please, only vote if you are inside the US.
Otherwise, feel free to put in your opinion, but the poll is to see how many americans would vote for who.

I feel like voting for some random third party candidate...communist, Libertarian, anything other than Kerry, Bush or Nader.

You don't have to vote Bush, Kerry, or Nader. Just when the election comes, and your old enough to vote, cross off Kerry's name.

Please do. Don't vote for someone you don't respect. That's more of a waste than any vote for a third party.

Pretty close. Corrections at parts: Do note vote for Kerry and Edwards! They would mess up America! Do not vote Kerry!!!

Nice job on the translation though.

My absentee ballot has been mailed as well. I didn't need any debates to choose.

You left out quite a few on your poll.
A mention should goto the following parties:
CPF
LIB
GRE
SWP
SPF

They were listed with their candidates on the ballot.

Not true. If you aren't happy with either candidate then it's all about shifting the middle ground. eg. I favor marijuana legalization, Bush is firmly against it and the best Kerry has said is that he "promises to look at the research" with respect to medicinal marijuana only (and anyone over the age of 6 knows what it means when an authority figure says "we'll see"). Neither one is good enough for me, but if people are willing to vote for a president who is open to the idea then other politicians might become just a little bolder in voicing their support for it. That makes Kerry my man because now he's all I got. I'd have preffered Kusinich (even though I can't so much as spell his name) but clearly the country isn't there yet, that's why people have to start paying attention to the primaries.

Stiring political rhetoric just isn't the same with babel. :(

Bush est l'ennemi de la connaissance, de la paix, de la liberté, et
de l'espoir. Revenez aux valeurs de la liberté, prospérité et
elightened le futur. Démocrate De Voix

became:
The knowledge is progress, is he until a free production someone's
or; the attitude with the calm fire bush' of the ocean's, that one is hostile; The serious desire was, that one that the future value of the reference swam him who, he who included/understood. It selects, someone's Democracy.

Hmm, maybe Bush uses babelfish to translate Tex/Mex into English. Would explain a lot.
