I've held my nose and voted a bunch of times but the other choice was even worse. Picked the best of the two evils. I think a bunch of people go to DC with the right intentions but they get skewed somewhere on the way.

The sad part is that these guys are on the verge of breaking all records by spending 3 billion on ads this year...I saw an ad the other day telling me to "Vote No On 1098" and it's paid for by "Vote No On 1098."

Lots of crap to weed through but at the end of the day you as a voter have to do your homework and if you truly don't like any candidate then don't vote.

You have never voted for a guy you did not like just because you thought he was the less of the two evils? I'm sorry to say I have. The good part about Va. is that our dems are more to the right than in other areas. I have actualy voted for a dem or two over the years here in Va.

No I have not because it goes against my nature. There are degrees of lesser of two evils. If they are equally shady, I won't vote. I mean, if I agree with one candidate 12% of the time and the other 11% the time I'm not voting. If on the other hand I agree with one candidate 50% of the time and the other 11% of the time I will vote for the candidate I agree with 50% of the time.

Paladino did that in NY a while ago
