I answered the poll, but I already voted during early voting, so the verb tense isn't quite right.

I come from MA and we know the Mittster very well. Obama all the way.

If you don't vote you have no right to complain? Electoral politics are a narrow, closed field. Not everyone is willing to vote for a lesser evil that doesn't come close to representing their views, thereby giving the illusion of approval for things they don't approve of. There are plenty of ways to be involved in politics and having a voice and voting is probably the least effective on an individual level.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still better than not opposing the greater evil.

My concern is for so many issues: including the SCOTUS, taxes, the deficit, jobs....

Therefore: Romney/Ryan

Romney/Ryan, for there is simply no other choice... for the future of our great country.

The polling and comments on Allnurses.com are dominated by loyal Union people, maybe not even nurses at all, so there is no way to know if those of us responding to this very unscientific pole are representative of nurses in general, or of the Union Social Media Specialists. In any case, two of two is a barely a trend & hardly a rule. I believe Mr. Romney will be our next President because ordinary Americans are simply creeped-out by the Obama Administration's extreme leftist policies and also because they know him better this time around.

As an aside, in 18 of the last 19 election cycles, when the Washington Redskins lost, the incumbent also lost, and vice-versa. The Redskins were highly favored Sunday, but lost to the Carolina Panthers 21-13 at Home. The only pole that counts is the one ending tomorrow night.

Nurses,

Please take a second to vote below!

We've polled our allnurses.com members the past 2 presidential elections and nurses got them both right! Let's see if we can predict the election results correctly for a 3rd time!

Of course, these are just fun non-scientific polls.

This thread was only intended to be a poll. Not a political discussion. Feel Free to reply with your choice if you want, but please no political arguments, slams or jabs :) Lets keep this a clean and simple poll ;)

Whoops, forgot to "vote" in this pole. ROMNEY-RYAN, because I don't want my kids and grandgids saddled with any more debt, nor do I want our country and lives placed at risk because of extreme cuts in our military readiness.
