I would assume that what you're saying is: "I'm a Republican, but I decided to vote for Bill because he seemed like the better candidate."
If that's the case, that would put you in a minority that I sincerely respect. You look into what each candidate is saying and vote for the person that (in your opinion) will do the best job.
Question 1:
How many people actually bother to inform themselves? (I'd like to hear your thoughts...)
Question 2:
How many people actually vote in the US?
Answer 2:
For the President (in the last 40 years): 50-60%
For the US Congress (2006): 36.8%
For the US Senate (2006): 29.7%
The way I see it, a large number of voters don't take enough time to inform themselves on who stands for what and base their vote (pretty much) on either 'R' or 'D'. (and that's if they even bother to show up)
Much respect.
