VANITY: Write-In Campaign for Texas?
2/7/2008 | Me

Posted on 02/07/2008 12:11:42 PM PST by D-fendr

With the sorry choices of McCain or McCain left, how about a write-in of Thompson in Texas? Is it allowed under Texas primary rules?

Beats not voting and beats supporting McCain.

Lordy, I'm disgusted with our choices in Texas. It's over before we even vote.

Thompson is supposedly coming out in support of McCain.

I wouldn’t bother.

Having moved from Virginia, this is my first time to vote in Texas. I have to vote my conscience and I cannot vote for McCain, so if they don’t let me write in, what’s the procedure in Texas?

Write in Hunter and send a message. I would if I were there.

We’ve been hearing that for months. But it hasn’t happened yet.

Sorry state of affairs. I will still cast my vote for Romney, if he is still on the ballot.

Count me out. I only have one vote in Texas and I’m not wasting it writing anyone in who’s not in the race.

To tell the truth; I don’t know about write in candidates in the prmaries here in TX. I am pretty sure you can in the election; though.

I proud that I was able to cast my ballot for Hunter here in Michigan.

Remember one thing..........if you do a write in, you give the democrats the win. Are you willing to do that?

Well, I suppose one alternative is to vote for RuPaul---I live in the Hill Country, and sure see a lot of his signs and bumper stickers around. At least he's right on the 2A.

Anyway you slice it, it isn't a good year for us.

Keep in mind that if you vote in the Texas primary, you are ineligible to put a 3rd party candidate on the ballot later.

Is there a choice for “UNCOMMITTED” as some states do?.....

If Fred comes out on support of McCain I will burn my FredHead hat, bumper stickers and other stuff.

I wouldn’t be surprised though back-stabbing is a way of life under the McCain administration.

The democrats have already won. I know it’s hard to accept but its a fact.

I’m in the same boat. I was hoping that I could actually impact the primaries as this is my first presidential election that I am old enough to vote in. Sigh... don’t even bother we won’t have a brokered convention anyways.

I tried looking online for the Texas Primary. Isn’t Alan Keyes still in the race?

And is there an “uncommitted” option?

If I vote in the Dem primary I get to vote against Hillary at least once.

I am. I want no part of what happens to this country in no way shape of form being accredited to a Republican ( conservatives by default ).

I do not care who his VP is unless he can guarantee me he will suffer a heart attack or something and step down on January 20, 2009.
