if you are under 18/ not a u.s. citizen but would still like to vote in a poll like this, i encourage you to create your own similar, separate one in which anyone and everyone can vote.
if you are eligible to vote but plan on abstaining from doing so, you may go ahead and cast your vote in this poll, but i would still encourage you to take advantage of this privilege and obligation to go cast your vote in november. remember, if you don't vote now, you don't get to bitch about it later!
political discussion is accepted and encouraged in this thread, as long as it stays focused on the upcoming elections and does not involve flaming. if you can't make a case for or against a candidate or issue without using petty insults, you're probably not the kind of person who should be voting anyway. i would ask any mods who read this to pay particular attention to this thread to permit heated discussion but moderate anything out of line
the poll will last exactly month and i allowed for people to change their vote in case they are persuaded by something in the remaining debates or some other occurance
enjoy and i hope this thread survives at least a month so i wont feel like an idiot resurrecting it in 31 days
