I pick the party or people who frighten and offend me the most and then I vote for whatever or whoever opposes them.

Hi, X. I agree completely. I have used your approach in the past but have recently modified it somewhat. I offer for your and Mr. X's consideration my new approach to Presidential voting.

What I do is follow the polls and pundits to see which party is likely to control Congress, particularly the House. Then I hold my nose and vote for "the other guy" for President.

I think that splitting the government is the best way to foil the extremists. It minimizes the creation of new programs, yet it allows the few really important things that have bipartisan support to get done.

There are a couple of problems with indiscriminately voting for the other guy, mainly with foreign policy and judicial nominations. Another concern is that there's a lot of money wasted in a government that is spinning its wheels. But I consider that a small price if nothing really stupid gets done.

And this is a country with so much going for it...
