Are you planning on voting? Why or Why Not?


�I certainly do. Isn�t it obvious? It�s going to affect the way we live day to day. It�s almost subtle, but it�s going to be day to day since new Supreme Court judges are going to be coming in.� David Andalman, College Senior


�Yeah. I�m scared of Bush.� Adam Barr, College Sophomore


�Yeah. If I don�t vote I don�t have a right to complain about anything...and I like to complain.� Liz Hassett, College Junior


�Yep. Because it�s the first time I get to vote for the president. I think it�s an important part of being a citizen. I�m going to sound like such a cheeseball, but it�s true.� Elizabeth Martin, College Senior


�No. Since I lived in Italy until two weeks ago, I don�t feel like voting if I don�t know how things are going.� Francesca Cantone, College Sophomore


�Yup. Because I don�t want Bush to win.� Angela Howard, College Senior


�Possibly. I don�t know how to register exactly and it might be too much trouble.� David Yarmolinsky, College Sophomore


�I�m not registered. Every time I think about voting, I�m either running, or on the go. I need to stop. I know the importance of it. However, I have the problem of being in the Oberlin bubble. I don�t know what�s going on in the campaign and don�t have time to find out. Since I don�t know much about the candidates, I don�t want to vote without information.�Miranda Morton, College Senior
