Did you vote in the California primary? Who should win the nominations and why?

“After class I went to vote. I voted for Hillary because she represents me more. She talks about the issues that concern me. I relate to her more. Obama is cool too, and if he won the Democratic nomination, I would probably vote for him in the general election.â€Â

“I’m not registered to vote. I’m part of the statistic that believes that their vote does not matter. I feel like there are a lot of people who are not educated but do vote. If I were to vote, I feel like I would be educated, and it would be all of them against me. The candidate that I find myself identifying with the most is McCain.â€Â

“I’m registered to vote, but I’m not planning to vote this year because I’m not sure of the presidential candidates or who I’d want to vote for. I don’t know if we’re ready for the kind of candidates we have this year.â€Â

“I’ll be voting after I finish work. Your vote does count — even one vote can make a difference, especially for the Democrats, who are very close. I will vote for Hillary Clinton because she has more experience as a senator in New York and because of her marriage to Bill Clinton.â€Â

“Actually, I need to go right now. I’m going to vote. I feel if I don’t put my two cents in, I can’t really complain when we don’t get the guy that I want.â€Â
