Do you ignore certain parts of platforms?

Well, if you can't fully support any one candidate, I guess voting for the lesser of ALL evils would be the way to go.

Come to that, and in keeping with the op, I've never had a candidate whose platform I was 100% in agreement with. Odds are I never will, unless I run. Hmmm . . . .well, I was named "Most Likely to Be First Woman President" by my junior high class, and I have a former student who is after me to convince McCain to select me instead of Palin . . . I do have ovaries, after all! But I can't even promise to bring him the GC vote, so I don't think that's an option after all.

Haha, yes, I'm afraid I am. My simple mind can't wrap itself around his logic...

That's the thing; I think that 99% of us, if we're being completely honest with ourselves, don't agree with EVERYTHING on a candidate's platform. Even if you're truly passionate about a candidate, you don't have to agree with everything he/she says.
