Myself, the only Republican I'd vote for is Condaleezza Rice. I really like her and she was the only person in the previous administration I liked.

Why is that?

Republicans I would vote for? Maybe like Olympia Snowe or a Dick Lugar-type if he/she promised to actually END the war. This would be the first presidential election that I could vote in so idk if I would vote Republican simply for that reason.

I don't really see why a Democrat would consider voting for any Republican.  Even if your politics are more akin to a centrist Democrat like Evan Bayh, Obama is still certainly closer to your views than any Republican who will run for president.  Since Romney governed Massachusetts not that different than a conservative Democrat, his departure from Obama, who governs the US as a conservative Democrat, would probably be limited.   Even so, comparing Obama's 2 Supreme Court nominees with those nominated by Reagan and the Bushes should be enough to scare any sincere Democrat off the idea of voting for any Republican.

None.

If Lincoln Chafee was still a Republican and ran in 2012 I'd support him. Now however, that party has no one I could support.

Why is that?

She's confident, a strong leader and I like her personally.

Agree.

Possibly Chris Shays or Jim Douglas, but those are marginal.

That being said, I'd vote for Lincoln Chafee over a number of mainstream Democrats.

There isn't anyone I'd vote for from their side that could conceivably be nominated.

To Democrats -

If there's no actual Republican you'd support, then why reply to this thread just to say "LOL NONE"?*




*As a partisan I agree that the notion of voting for somebody from the "other party" is foolish.

Same here, I can think of lots of Democrats in whom I would vote for Chafee over.
