I agree with Lief, if such a dumb move were to happen, I would be voting Republican if nothing else than for the stupidity of such decision by both Obama and Cuomo. Right now, I'm planning to vote for President Obama next year, but if this were to happen it would negate that vote. It won't matter in such a deep red state like Oklahoma, but it's the principle of the matter.
You'll be voting depending on who is in the lead in the final Gallup poll, my friend. Let's be honest.
Not exactly, my friend...
I'll be voting for whomever I think would best represent the views I care about most. I'm an issue/character voter, not a poll voter.
For example, in 2004, I was determined to vote John Kerry long before he became the frontrunner. In 2007, I picked Barack Obama long before he became the frontrunner and when the nation thought he was a pipe dream because of Hillary Clinton's perceived "entitlement".
This year, I do plan on vote for President Obama, but things could change, not based on the poll, but based on mistakes that the President makes and/or if I like one of the Republican candidates better. In fact, I am very strongly considering switching my registration to Republican so I can vote in the Republican primary, not because I'm a Republican. I had a professor who did that, changed his political registration every election cycle.
Plus, right now, President Obama is far from being considered a lock for re-election.
