I will be a first time voter this year, and I've got to say that I will probably be voting for my candidate (whoever it is) because of both reasons. Now, I do realize that seems like a cop out answer, but it's mostly the truth. I do have some issues with some of the Democrate candidates at this point, but would definitely vote for Clark/Dean/Edwards/Kerry (probably in that order) before Bush any day. I see very little good Bush is doing for this country, and any new face in the White House would be so much better for the nation at this point.
So yes, I'd be voting for both possible motives you have stated.
