Whom from the opposite party have you voted for?

[JSojourner]

In presidential elections, not really.  I mean, I was a Republican when I voted for H.W. Bush in 1988.  I did vote for Ross Perot in 1992 and dearly wish I could have that one back.

In the Senate, I often find myself voting for Richard Lugar.  I really disagree with him on a lot of issues but I admire his work to account for and eliminate loose nukes...an issue I think requires much more attention.  Too, he has had few credible Democratic opponents.

I know it's not part of the original question, but I was a huge fan of Fort Wayne's four-term Republican Mayor, Paul Helmke.

When I was a registered republican

Bill Clinton once
Mike Doyle - Congress - once
A ton on the state and local level

I almost voted for Obama....

[Mechaman]

When I first came of voting age I voted for Brad Henry (D) to be re-elected (he won re-election by a landslide, imagine that a moderate Democrat winning 66% of the vote in bat crazy Oklahoma) as governor.

I almost voted for Bill Wortman until I found out about his endorsement of "volunatary racial separation", so I voted for Alan Gentges (D) for US Representative.

So yeah my first time voting I voted for two Democrats.

Second time around I voted for Andrew Rice (hey the other choice was Jim Inhofe) for US Senate.
I voted for whoever the Democrats had running against John Sullivan for US House.
I made a cringe vote for Obama (hey the ballot access laws here suck). I didn't like it, but it was a better vote than "bomb Iran" McCain (I guess you could call it the "Goldwater Effect").

So yeah, I've been voting for a different party ever since I got registered to vote. Maybe if the ballot laws were fairer here, maybe I wouldn't have to stoop to voting Democrat.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Have never voted for a non-Democrat in a partisan election.

I'm generally a right-winger in France and I would vote to re-elect Jean-Yves Le Drian (Socialist) as Regional President of Bretagne in 2010 just because he's done a superb job fighting for Breton interests, culture, language and reunification. And because his opponent is an old Chiraco-Villepiniste, a true Jacobin, and a traitor to Bretagne like du Guesclin was in his day.

I would have a hard time voting for somebody other than a Liberal in Canada not because I'm a partisan hack, but just because the other parties are either a) Nazis b) whinocratic socialists c) petty little Anglophobes d) a party led by a stupid crazy lady and candidates who buy into 9/11 revisionism.

Plenty of nameless GOP over namless Dems in local races.  Because in local government, competency in administrative tasks is a gazillion times more important than supporting the Iraq War or national public healthcare.

[Ronnie]

I voted for Waxman as well as some local Democrats.

[Boris]

none, i don't really vote

[12th Doctor]

On the nationally important level:

1) I voted for the Democrat running against John Petersen in 2006, but damned if I can remember his name.

2) I voted for Rendell in 2006... Swann truly was that poor of a choice for governor.

[Хahar 🤔]

b) whinocratic socialists

[Hatman 🍁]

b) whinocratic socialists

^^^^

I have never voted for anything other than the "whinocratic socialists". This includes two federal elections and a provincial election so far.

The above poster seems to vote in multiple states in the same election.

Yes.

That's because the Atlas Forum is now available on Nintendo DS.
