For presidential I was going Kerry/Edwards. I was (supposedly) registered as an Independent, and my views most fall in line with Libertarian, so I was tempted to go with the Lib candidate just to help increase percentages for that party since this state wasn't supposed to be that close. But in the end I decided this election overall was close enough where it was more important to get a vote in for one of the main guys and save the fight for the third party for a later date.
And yeah, I agree completely that I had plenty of time to double check on making sure I was registered and didn't do squat. I was just so blinded by the fact that everyone else had worked out perfectly fine doing it the same way I did and didn't so much ignore the good advice as just didn't click in my head that it applied to me as well. As for polling place, had no problem there, i was at the right place if my paperwork had gone through, it was on the same street as me and I'm at 216 and it was 300. I can step on the sidwalk and yell back and forth to the volunteers out there if i so desired.
Edit: And thanks for moving this to the right thread, guess it fell in easily enough here after all
