What I would really like is to vote FOR a candidate, to really believe and desire the same concepts as he or she. I'm sick to death of voting for the better or best of all evils.

Republicans are bad for my livelihood. I am pretty sure I'm voting for Obama and I would be voting FOR Obama...not against someone else (as was the case for me in the last presidential election). As much as I dislike Clinton, I'd rather have her than McCain. But, I have a sinking feeling that when Democrats and independents have an opportunity to vote privately, they may not vote for the candidate they publicly support.
I'm not a Democrat and have never voted for a Democrat. This year will be the first time.
