Poll question: What's the minimum you'd sell your vote for?
E.g., how much would someone have had to pay to have gotten you to vote for Bush in 2004?

1. Of course, you could always take the money...
and donate tons of it to the democratic (or your prefered) party.

3. We all have our price.
It's just a matter of how alluring the price is... and how cheap the seller is too.

6. I would like to think that I wouldn't sell my vote
But I would be wrong. I would sell my vote for $50,000,000. I guess that makes me a whore. How does the old joke go......"we have determined what you are, now we are just negotiating a price".

I salute anyone who can honestly say that they wouldn't sell their vote. They are a better person than me.

7. My almost 80 yo old dad remembers someone trying to buy his
father's vote for $1 around 1932 or so. His dad was really tempted,
'cause $1 was a lot of money back then when you had a lot of mouths to feed. :(

13. 5 Mil per vote.
I vote in Cook County, so with multiple votes, I could really make some bank.
