Since I didn't vote, I guess I'd better choose "uninformed voting," lest I seem hypocritical. 
I'm not proud of not voting and I don't have a good excuse, though I've got a few bad ones: I've been busy with school, I don't watch TV or read newspapers, and I have no idea who's running or which causes they support. So far the only information I've absorbed regarding the election was one attack ad I saw by chance on someone else's television, comparing one of the candidates to Bin Laden. It was so ridiculous that I thought for a minute we were watching Comedy Central, but no-- real ad.

That seemed to be the main message going in to these elections...
Attack the opponent more than they attack you. Quite frankly, I'm not 100% sure WHAT any of the candidates are going to bring to the table. I just know about the BAD things they voted for 20+ years ago that came back to haunt them. It's rather sad...

I voted by absentee ballot and I spent a good 30 minutes researching all the candidates before I did so. Not voting is worse in my opinion, simply because it's your civic duty

I think I will have to disagree with you this time around Tech... Just because you researched the candidates doesn't mean every does! You would rather have someone vote for a candidate that they no NOTHING about over not voting at all?

I didn't vote because I'm still underage but I've tried to keep up with things in my state so that I know who to vote for when the time comes. But my grandmother, who hasn't had the time to keep up with it, went in the other day and she said she just voted for the girl names. I hate it when people do that. If your going to vote you need to know who your voting for, otherwise all your doing is screwing with the country.
I wonder if that's how Bush got into office for his second term. XD

I could see how someone might think Bush was a girl's name.
