I didn't get registered this year. If I don't have enough time to do 
proper research on the people are wanting to be elected for next term, I 
don't vote at all. Voting takes careful study on each person wanting to 
be next president. The whole republican/democrate parties don't matter 
to me unless the Republican is a true conservatists(thinks stem cell 
research is bad etc(different topic, but one doesnt need embryos for 
stem cells, adults produce them))

    What was truely upsetting about the debates and all the nastiness is 
both of them said christopher reeves would have been living from stem 
cell research which is total crock. Election debates and all the 
political mudslinging doesn't prove either person to be better for the job.

    I feel extremely bad for the first time voters, they don't know what 
they are doing when they vote. First time voters don't study the issues 
unfortunately, and each first time voter I have asked can't give a real 
explanation that doesn't have to do with the mudslinging slogans(tv, 
papers, debates, etc).
