3. nope...but...
I've voted in every election since I turned 18 including local ones...I wonder how many people who vote for their favorite American Idol every week are actually registered to vote in real elections

8. I have
I've also been registered to vote since I was 18. I've voted in every election except the 1980 presidential election (I would've voted for Anderson) -- I couldn't get an absentee ballot and back then you had to send it in two weeks early and a local election here (there were only Republicans running and I don't knowingly vote for Republicans.

I vote much more sporadically on AI.

5. I wouldn't feel qualified to make a decision like that
I'll leave it up to better informed voters

7. I don't have the requisite cultural sensitivity nor artistic sensibility
to make a vote on American Idol.

10. Other: I can't.
Canadian phone companies and all that.

But I do have better things to spend the $$$ on, anyway.

14. Wasn't there a Canadian Idol?
Which answers the question anyway...considering I'm not sure.

Nope to both. Haven't watched either, or any wretched piece of reality tv, for that matter.

27. I watch the show every week but never vote.
I have no interest in wasting my time trying to vote for two hours. The teens who have nothing better to do with their time can do that. I'll just wait and see who gets bumped off.
