Personally, I think there are two sides to this coin and it really could explain just how many of us will vote. Some will vote more on emotion if they are affected harshly by the economy. Those folks living in their cars because they lost their jobs and their homes will probably vote with their emotions with the candidate that is seen as dealing better with these issues.

Other could vote on emotion based on their connection to the candidate. For instance, if they like Palin not really McCain but Palin. Or if they like Obama and connect with him more. But you also have those who would vote on emotion if they will never vote for a black candidate or if they have hatred for a particular candidate. Then there is the voters that think more on issues and which hit home more with them. These voters do not lack emotion but they are more interested in voting records, histories, and future trends and possibilities. Which kind of voter are you and why?

Personally I would probably be a little bit of a mix between the two. I own a growing small business which I hope to really expand as the next year comes along so the economy state is important to me. But I also think about how I connect with the candidate and what they will address as far as issues I fall in line with.

I want my children to have a safe country to grow up in...so I can't vote Obama. Obama is a nice man but has no business being put in this position. Probably the least qualified and dangerous candidate that has ever run. I nice guy though.

I have researched the candidates. I will vote on competence. Which means I will write in John Edwards.

All issues could desire to be considered whilst a vote is solid, I do have faith interior the separation of church and state, yet I additionally think of that government shouldn't turn a blind eye to how faith consequences votes. In essence, Bush turn into supposedly elected by using the advance of the evangelical stream, it is almost worrisome. Hypocritical thinking happens interior of us all, yet Republicans merely think of that their **** would not stink, all the Republicans I certainly have met besides.

The issues are what strike our emotions.

The old marine thinks he knows both inside and out. How is that possible? Do you live with them or does Hannity give you all the details?
