Question do you vote in primaries?

That's it.

I don't care who you would vote for if you did.

I've never voted in a primary, but plan to tomorrow.

So, do you vote in primaries?

Yes, and so do my two girls. I wouldn't say we are politically active in any party but I've instilled in the girls that the privilege to vote is a rare one in the world. They need to take advantage of it or it won't be around long.

Absolutely... Lot of times, the current crop of politicos will try and sneak stuff past you on primary day... Lots more to vote on than just presidential candidates.

Just this year we have indian gaming issues, and term limit stuff to deal with.

I consider it to be part of my civil duty to do so. With that said, I will casting my vote here in Texas on March 4, about a month from tomorrow's Super Tuesday. Over half of the delegates in the nation will be awarded from tomorrow's primaries so we should see a definitive leader well before my vote is even counted.

I've voted in the last eight elections but, I admit missing most of the primaries for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the incumbent was unopposed and sometimes I was out of town and neglected to obtain an absentee ballot. I can't recall which I've missed. I guess those votes fade from memory because the person doesn't eventually get the nomination.
I'm 4 - 4 in presidential elections.

I won't miss this primary, it's critical.

yup... but not any of the front runners... they are SO lame this election cycle. unfortunately the primary election in Washington state is by mail. To lazy for anyone to actually go to the caucuses.
