I'm a Democrat. Registered as a Dem when I first registered to vote back in 2000, and voted for Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. I generally vote Dem except in local elections, where I sometimes vote for the Pacific Green Party candidate. This fall I'll be supporting my local city councilor in his run for Congress (he's the Pacific Green Party candidate), largely because the Democratic incumbent, Peter DeFazio, will win by a landslide anyways.
My first question when assessing a candidate is quite simple: are they pro-choice or pro-life? I absolutely will not consider voting for a candidate who is pro-life. That is my ultimate dealbreaker.
