Also, there are other choices aren't there? Maybe vote for someone not Republican or Democrat.

Democrats and Republicans have a lot of money piled up to make this the most expensive election in history. Third parties have no media exposure. An educated person might vote for them but the average American has no idea who they even are. Your vote literally wont mean anything.

Besides it doesn't look like they have anyone decent anyway http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2012/02/roseanne-barr-running-for-president-green-party.html

I'm still siding wid Paul cause he Mah boy!

Ron Paul wont win the nomination
I know but I'd rather give my v- well I can't vote for 2 years but if I could I would vote for him. Still isn't it like the preliminaries? Ron can still run as an independent and he seems to have gotten more popular this election. He prolly wont win but it's worth a shot.

Ron Paul said he's not interested in running third party. Doing so would just cause the Republican nominee to lose votes.
The guy is 76 I think this is the last year he's running sadly.

That is unfortunately a sad reality. Even though he has the best chance of defeating Obama by ABC, CNN, and NBC polls he wont win because he's intellectually honest every time he answers a question (and isn't a hardcore in his party) which a lot of people don't like. People would rather hear unrealistic promises than the reality of the state of the country.

That being said, Romney is about 50x better than Santorum or Gingrich, so I wont shed too many tears over him beating Obama, if that happens lol.

Samething happens to unknown MPs in the UK but they still end up getting votes and sometimes get elected.

Yeah I know the president election is very diffrent, but still, I don't agree with voting for the most likly to win than the one you most agree with.

I thought he just said no comment/ to early to say when asked if he'd run third party I didn't remember him turning it down. That's a shame.

I don't know how it works over there, but here the people who decide the president are really the 7-10 swing states that are half democrat and half republican. The other 40-42 states votes the same way every year whether it be democrat or republican. Even though I talk about the support I'll give Paul/Romney it doesn't matter at all because the republican nominee will win Tennessee by at least a 60%-40% margin.

It's just almost a fact in America that Republicans and Democrats are currently, the only people who are going to get elected as President. This may change throughout the course of American history, as the Whigs used to be a major political party, but nowadays, you'd be hardpressed to find an average person who even knows who the heck the Whigs are.

You have the potential to vote for any candidate in any party, but you are still 'limited' to the Republicans and Democratic party, seeing that all other parties are currently insignificant. You could vote for another candidate, but as Ani-Nation said, it literally wouldn't mean anything.

Again, I would rather waste my vote on someone I agreed with than give it to someone who could be elected that I don't agree with.

And if you don't like any candidate, just spoil your ballot paper, you've still voiced your opinion that way.

I've been brought up to vote for what I believe in.

Just relaying the truth actually, I didn't mean to imply I was disagreeing. It would be nice if you could actually vote for someone besides the Democrat/Republic party with your vote being significant. If you believe it doesn't matter if it's insignificant as long as you're standing up for your beliefs, so be it, that's a good philosophy to live by.

Yeah I think you're vote makes more of a difference during the primary.
Arizona is actually pretty even and some think Obama could actually win this year (the last Democrat to win in AZ was Clinton).
Arizona has a lot of Mormons and Romney has Mcain's support so if he wins the nomination it'll be close.

What's the point in voting in the preliminary just to watch who you voted not get the nomination?

Wow, really? If you don't vote, you don't have a right to complain. Period. And that's my philosophy.

I completely agree with Fangirl. I plan to vote in the next general election here. Though I'm still not 100% sure who to vote for. Not the conservative party that's for true.

Do you think any of these candidates could make a postive change for America? Or are they likely to be just as unpopular or more so than him?
