will you be voting dem in the coming election

[mkultra]

Dont forget to include feedback. I can understand that those not voting dem or sitting out are probably afraid to say so but i would love to hear your comments.

[McCamy Taylor]

1. Straight party. And I am probably going to give more $$$ than I have ever given.

The whole thought of a handful of billionaires buying this election just burns me up.

[etherealtruth]

2. Always!

[mkultra]

3. i forgot to ask you for feedback

i can understand if you are sitting out and are to cowardly to say why, but if you manage to find the courage, I would love to hear your reasons.

[Taverner]

4. P'shaw - of course

But I with we had mas cojones ya know?

[thunder rising]

5. The corollary: will you be a Dem voting? (this is DU ... how do you think they'll vote)

The question is, "Will they vote?"

[mkultra]

6. sorry, i dont follow.

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Given that the Greens didn't qualify for the ballot and the Repub is a Tea Party nut, I think

I should vote Dem for Governor, and if the Dem Rep is in any trouble at all I will toss a vote to him as well.

[BlueIdaho]

8. I already have...

I mailed in my ballot today - Democrats or no one at all.

[madrchsod]

9. i`m voting for the democrats and one republican

my wife`s union is endorsing a republican over a democrat...illinois is a strange state.

[mkultra]

10. what union and who is the candidate?

[madrchsod]

15. afscme -judy barr topinka

she has a higher rating than the democrat. i`m getting her sign to put in my yard to confuse the neighbors. i`m the only democrat with signage in a good sq mile of my town.

[frazzled]

20. Here's a partial list of unions who have endorsed Miller

Amalgated Transit Union Local 241
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME)
Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois (AFFI)
Illinois Association of Fire Fighters – Local 3766
Illinois Association of Fire Fighters (Statewide)
Illinois Education Association (IEA)
Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT)
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) – Local 134
Laborers International Union of North America – Great Plains Laborers District Council
Operating Engineers Local 150
Service Employees International Union (SEIU)
Teamsters Local 743
United Food and Commerical Workers (UFCW) 881


Since I am not a union member, may I ask: do you always vote the way your union tells you to? I would have a lot of trouble with that.

[madrchsod]

26. it`s a recommendation only

my wife just went through this with her teabagger union president...it`s a long story.

[frazzled]

16. Which Republican and which union?

The only time I'm straying from the Democratic ticket is for Assessor. And this is the first time I've ever, since 1972, not voted for a Democrat. But Berrios is just too machine-corrupted for my tastes. Democrat Forrest Claypool is running as an independent, and I am going to vote for him. So it's like voting for a Democrat.

I just downloaded my sample ballot today, and boy is there a lot of work to do on judges. I usually get two or three bar association ratings (including women's bar assn, gay and lesbian, hispanic, etc.) and go by that.

[madrchsod]

21. afscme-judy barr topinka

better rating than the democrat. there`s a judge the afscme union is backing but i do`t have the info in front of me.

my wife is the people chair.

[frazzled]

24. Sorry, she creeps me out

I voted for Miller's opponent, Raja Krishnamoorthi, in the primary ... but I would never vote for Topinka in this capacity. She's got some palm-greasing issues in her background as State Treasurer.

[madrchsod]

28. i think judy has smoked to many cigarettes!

ya she`s a tad bit different to say the least.

[mitchtv]

11. I picked Voting Dem

Which is, all (D) candidates. That is, all but one Down ballot dem who has crossed me on marriage equality , Sorry, won't do it . He is not, a dissapointing friend, but rather an enemy simpathizer.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

12. I'm not voting.

I'm not a US citizen. :(

[hlthe2b]

13. I hope that cyber trap door to oblivion is now functional...

to catch anyone who votes NO.

[frogmarch]

14. All Dem, all the time

And for me and mine, that's the way it'll stay.

[mike_c]

17. I'll be voting for a mix of progressive dems and greens....

As usual.

on edit: and HELL YES on Prop 19!

[flvegan]

18. Nope. Voting straight ticket American Vegetarian Party.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Vegetarian_Party

Okay, not really.

[LWolf]

19. Other:

At this point I believe I'm voting dem all the way.

I haven't seen some of the local choices yet, though; not much campaigning going on.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

22. Though I am a Green --

I will be voting for Boxer and Brown. I am lucky to have two good Dems to vote for this election.

[northoftheborder]

23. Straight Dem. Party here

[JoePhilly]

25. Straight Dem in NC

[bigwillq]

27. Voting for all the DEMS on my ballot (nt)

[Mike Marble]

29. Yes. And yes on Prop 19!

[11 Bravo]

30. You left out the "FUCK YES!" option.

Seriously, any sentient Dem who examines the options and analyzes the alternatives, and STILL wants to take their ball and go home, deserves whatever they get.

[customerserviceguy]

31. Dem in my case

But I'm lucky to have progressive candidates on my ballot. I wouldn't blame someone in a less progressive area for refusing to vote for a Blue Dog or DINO with the hopes of getting a progressive to vote for in 2012.

[Change Happens]

32. HELL YES!!! All the way down the ballot......nt
