I'll continue to "waste my vote" and not vote in the primary. I despise every single person in the race at the moment, and plan to vote for Nader if he does end up running. Otherwise I'll write in Kucinich as normal.
Just because I am not voting does not make me uninformed. I would prefer not putting a vote to someone I do not like than giving someone support I cannot stand.

Would you care to share what is it about the two remaining Republican and two remaining Democrat candidates that make you so strongly despise each of them?

Kucinich was still on the ballot in Virginia. It was tempting.

Based on my wife's experience this morning (below), apparently you still can vote for Kucinich if you live in VA….
I wonder why the Dem ballot had all these names on there…Kucinich, Biden, etc. who have already dropped out? I wonder if people vote for them, is that a thrown away vote, then (yes) and I wonder if this will take potential votes away from Obama (or Hillary)… Why don't they just have Hillary and Obama on there?

I vote for Kucinich as the cuddliest candidate. Other than that, he has no chance.

Politics aside, if Dennis Kucinich is "normal", god help us all.

Ahem. There are 4 republicans that are technically still in it, you forgot Keyes and Paul. I myself will be voting Paul.
Hmm, and I think Gravel technically hasn't "dropped out".

As many have said before, if you can't vote for someone then vote against someone.
I too am "indie" so I'm locked out of the Maryland primaries.

Voted for McCain this morning. The only person I trust out of all of them.

I trust him too. I just don't like what he's asking me to trust him to do.

I also find McCain completely trustworthy. I 100% believe him when he tells me if he's elected we'll never leave Iraq and we'll probably invade Iran, too. That's the sort of thing you just don't lie about.

My right-winger in-laws were bragging to me over the weekend about how enlightened they are because they are going to vote for Obama. Turns out that they, along with a lot of Republicans, are just doing anything to keep Hillary out.
This seems like a dumb idea BTW - if I were a Republican and could vote for either party in the primary I'd push to get Hillary in the general election knowing she would get killed there. If one person can unite the divided Republican party, it's Hillary Clinton.
But I digress…anyway, we had a bit of a bonding moment when they finally realized how I have felt for the last 8 years.

DISCLAIMER: I voted McCain, but only to bolster my LNS-TV-show application.
