What if: Democrats' first choice loses nomination?

Well, a new Gallup poll has answered that question, and the result is good for the Republican Party.

Not I. I switched to Independent when the arguing started and I will not be voting at all if a certain someone becomes the nominee.

How did the song say it? "Choosing not to decide, you still have made a choice....."

Thanks for not canceling my vote, thus giving it more weight!

If you're in Maryland, your vote doesn't count anyway. Some Baltimore homeless person will be cancelling out your vote for a pack of cigarettes and a ride to the polling station.

Who I vote for depends on who's on the ballot besides the Democrat or the Republican.

Since Maryland's electoral votes are going to the Democratic candidate, we have the opportunity to vote FOR somebody

It's still possible that Maryland's vote could go to the winner of the national popular vote. Not likely, but possible. Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass to the Dems who enacted that legislation because they are still mad about Bush?

...if Hillary is the nominee and I vote for Barrack to give Democrats a hard time, won't I go to jail or have to wash Rush Limbaugh's car or something?

That won't happen because not enough states have enacted that legislation to allow it to kick in.
