I have every intention of voting. I also have every intention of voting for conservatives. If there's a liberal on the ballot, I have no intention of voting for him just because he's got an "R" after his name.
I'll do the same as you, not voting for someone only because the candidate is a Republican. I live in Illinois, and our republican nominee for governor, Treasurer Judy Topinka, is pro-choice and pro-gay marriage. She's been in a few gay pride parades. I'll read poll results in Oct. If I think that the election will be close, I'll vote for her, since I don't want to help split the anti-liberal vote, helping the Democrat win. If the election won't be close, I'll vote for write-in candidate Randy Stufflebeam, of the Constitution Party. The lastest poll that I read about said that the Democrat is ahead 45%-34%, with 17% supporting other candidates. A Green Party candidate is also running.
