  1. Yes. I believe that you should stick to what you believe, politically and support the candidate no matter the outcome. -Kelly Kreps

  2. I would not vote for a candidate solely on the fact that they are the underdog, but I would vote for someone if I believed that they had the ability to be a great leader in our community/country. If knowing they most likely would not win the election was the only thing that prevented you from voting for them, even though they are who you preferred, then you would be a cause of their loss essentially. If my father ran for a spot as a leader and I agreed with everything that he was for and against, but I did not vote for him because I knew he would lose, i would not be giving him a fair chance in the end.

  3. I think you should vote for a candidate, even if you knew they couldn't win because it is important to support your political views and beliefs.

  4. I would still vote for the candidate of my choice because I think you should always follow through with what you believe in what the right decision is. Each opinion affects something or someone, so if everyone did this, then maybe your candidate could end up winning after all.

  5. I would not vote for a candidate if I knew they were not going to win. I would research the other candidates that I knew had a better chance to make a difference. Voting for someone who is not going to win would accomplish nothing,

  6. I'd continue to vote for my preferred candidate only because I think it's important and essential to stick to your political beliefs and reasons despite any losses or misfortune.

  7. no i would not vote for a candidate who i knew couldn't win because it would not make any sense. i would prefer to vote for someone who was experienced and knew what they were to better this country.

  8. No, I wouldn't vote for a candidate that I knew couldn't win the election because I cannot make sense of voting for someone who isn't going to win.

  9. I would still vote for the candidate, because there is always a chance of the candidate you chose to win the election. Just because others may think its a wasted vote dosnt mean you shouldnt vote for who you want every vote counts in the end.

  10. Sometimes the media tries to persuade people's opinion by making them feel as if their vote will not make a difference. I feel that people should vote for the person they think would best fulfill the job, no matter what the prediction of the overall outcome is.

  11. The only reason I would vote for someone who wasnt going to win is if both leading canidates were against my political interest. To vote for a head party canidate, I must think that he or she would truly make our country better. ~Grant Summers

  12. no, because voting for a candidate that couldn't win is like a wasted vote. Also you would save any time or trouble at the voting office

  13. I would not vote for a candidate if I knew they could not win. It would be a waste of my time and my vote. If the candidate I wanted to vote for could not win I would most likely not vote at all.

  14. I would still vote for a candidate even if I knew they were not going to win because if I am voting for them I obviously support and agree with their belies and that would not change just because they were going to loose. I would never change what I stand for just to be on the winners side.

  15. No matter if the candidate that I side with the most is not seen to win the election, I would still vote for them. I am not going to be a careless voter and vote for the person most likely to win, just to be able to say I voted for that person. I will stick to my views till the bitter end. If I voted for the winning person and did not agree with any of their views what good am I doing by voting. I vote to put the person with the best ideas and the best plan in the position to make the calls.

  16. Yes I believe that you should vote for the person that would do the best job. I think you should stick to what you believe in and not change your vote just because you think he/she is not going to win. If everyone changed their vote then the candidate that they believed in definatly would not have a chance of winning.

  17. I would still vote for the same candidate because the fact that he couldn't win the election does not change the fact that i agree and side with his facts and views.

  18. No, if I knew a candidate couldn't win an election, I would vote for the next "best" one.

  19. I would still vote for the candidate. Just because he has no chance of winning doesn't mean you shouldn't vote for him or her.

  20. I would vote for whoever I wanted to vote for. It shouldn't matter if you think they are going to win or not.
