I will start by saying, I am a conservative, but I am not too far right wing, either. I would not vote based on party but based on what the candidate had to offer.
I would vote for a Democrat, if I liked the issues they stood for. I would not vote for Obama. I would sooner shoot myself in the face. I don't particularly like the choices for the Republican party, either. For my personal ideas, the Republican party is the lesser of two evils.

It seems that the Democrats have swung WAY far left, the Republicans have swung WAY far right and yet WHO speaks for us in the vast majority in the middle????
I think that polls show that MOST Americans are fiscally conservative, socially pretty liberal, and overall pretty open to any ideas, right or left, that get us on the right financial track and help empower our children to live in a more prosperous and stronger nation, with greater (or at least equal) opportunity to what we have.
The MAJORITY of us don't want to rip down Wall Street, we would like the opportunity to be AS successful as those folks are. We also don't really care who is "more Christian" and are far more interested in our children being able to find a job, be able to afford a house, get quality medical care when needed (as decided on by them and their doctor, not a bureaucrat, and be able to retire with comfort and dignity !!!!
In short, the majority of us fall well in between both parties and NO ONE is really speaking for US right now...or so it seems.
I think your eloquent statement said it VERY well, and is FAR more "mainstream" the you realize.
I was listening to Obama's press conference last week and I was happy to hear him rally for the middle-class American struggling to feed their children and afford doctor appointments. I was even happier to hear him challenge the Republican party to put up their plan for economic growth so that the same independent group can assess the potential growth and damage within those pages. Several journalists sneered and snickered because they knew it would never happen and if it did, we would be awakened to any number of things in that bill that have nothing to do with the issue at hand.
At the end of the day, it's just a speech. At the end of the day, it doesn't put the $500 in my pocket I need for a routine pap smear just so I can keep my preferred method of birth control or the $150 a month for private insurance that would cover most of the cost. At the end of the day, I am still angry about what's happening in this country and how we got here. I am still angry over the lack of power the American people have over their government. At the end of the day, his words and the words of every career politician in this country don't mean dick to me.
But, I will say that I'm scared that if Obama isn't re-elected that the good things he has pulled off (and I'd like a definitive list of those things one day) will be overturned or have a thousand loopholes added to the mix. And I don't think that will solve anything for anyone.

I am not sure who or what to vote for.
I would have to do some research on the candidates before making my decision.
I would not vote based just on what Party they are from.
