As I've said before, I'm not a real fan of any of the candidates currently running, which makes it difficult for me to determine who to vote for tomorrow (since I don't skip elections).  If Steve Adams was on the ballot, I'd definitely check his name, but since there isn't an "independent" primary tomorrow, I'm stuck with the following:

Republicans
McCain:  Most likely will win tomorrow, unless all the expected McCain voters stay home thinking the same thing (which results in low voter turn-out).  He will still win the nomination for the party though, since it will be near impossible for Huckabee to sweep the remaining states with a super majority of the votes.

Huckabee:  Has no chance of actually winning the state unless McCain voters stay home.

Paul:  He's the only Republican to really advertise in my area (via road signs), but voting for him will have no impact on the November election.

Democrats
Obama:  Most likely to win the state.  I could vote for him, just to give Killary the finger.

Killary:  To keep the Democratic race interesting, she needs to win Virginia and/or Maryland, especially now that Obama has taken the delegate lead.  However, I would have to hold my nose while checking her name.

What do you kids think?  Should I give Killary the finger or a hand?

I was considering voting for Ron Paul just for a laugh, but I don't think I can bring myself to swear allegiance to the Republican Party, as is required for voting in their primary.

You don't.  You just need to declare which party you are voting for.  No submission is required.

Vote for McCain in order to diminish arch-conservative influence on the GOP.

And let a "pure" Democratic race roll on: better to let real Dems make their choice.

Yeah, vote McCain and let the Democrats keep fighting. Otherwise, vote Clinton - the poor girl could use a helping hand. Smiley

Well, I think I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Killary.  That way, it will keep her closer to Obama, making the Democratic race that much more entertaining, and hopefully they'll start getting into some nasty mudslinging.  Won't MissCatholic/Nomo be happy?  Tongue

If you hate "Killary" so much, there's two places to stop her: the primary and the general. I'd say use the first line of defense first instead of counting on the latter because if the latter fails...

If Clinton wins the primary, there's at least a 50% chance she'll be President for four years.

More likely she will be defeated in the general election, though both she and Obama are vulnerable.

hahaha . . . well, at least I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who did this.  Three other guys in the office were thinking the same thing.  Tongue
