True, I do respect the fact that he bothers to have his staff respond, unlike Miller. I hope Obama will be responsive, because he certainly has a lot of eyes on him as a promising up-and-comer.

I must admit I didn't read the entire 6 pages of this thread....so, I'll just respond to the original question: Yes I voted, I am a registered democrat, but not really a democrat at heart--or a republican for that matter. I didn't vote democrat and am satisfied w/the outcome of the election. Personally, I think the president is just a figure head anyway and doesn't really have any power. Still, I felt it was my civic duty to vote, so I did.

That's cool. I hate it when people are a member of one party, and they mindlessly just vote down the party line for everyone who's running in their party, withot thinking about it first. It is all so confusing for someone who is trying to pick out what party they want to be in (me.) I agree with a lot of the things Democrats seem to stand for, but their stance on guns really doesn't sit well with me. And I share a lot of GOP beliefs too, but their tendency toward far-right religion being involved in gov't puts me off. I think I'll start my own party; "Confused Young People who Find Fault with all Previously Created Parties and are Really Lost." :)

As far as party lines go, I seem to agree with the Libertarian party more than anything else. (after that, I'm more democratic than republican). I admit I voted democratic across the board for this election, but I'm not that thrilled with what the republicians have been doing as a whole lately.

I think a lot of us are sick of what we keep seeing from the two major parties, which comes down in the end to following the money -- they vote according to what lobbyists, corporations, or special interests have pressured them to do unless there is enough public outcry to counter-balance it, like in the case of the media consolidation the FCC tried to allow. What we really need are election reform, an informed electorate, and responsive representatives regardless of what the label may say.

now there's a party i might actually be able to find something in common with.

Yeah, when I registered to vote they almost made me declare a party, they really pressured me, but I stood my ground and refused to declare, especially since they only gave me 2 choices. I also resent that they appointed me a race without even asking me what it was, they looked at me and chose one. I didn't even know they were doing that until I got my card and read the detials. Grrr.

That's one good thing about registering in Georgia is that you do not have to declare a party. In fact, there's no space to do so even if you wanted to, though they do still want you declare an ethnicity.
