>>> As for the past, I've voted mostly Liberal. A couple of times, I've voted Conservative, but yes, mostly Liberal. In the past 4 elections, it's 50-50 Liberal and Conservative, but prior to that, pretty much all Liberal.

>>I got a kick out of your message. I've voted both liberal and conservative in the past. It depends on the candidate and the policies they support. Sadly, most of the time the policies I've agreed with never came to pass when the candidate went into office or else the candidate I voted for didn't win.

>>My daughter is furious with me. She is definitely pro-McCain and while it is 30 days out, I'm still undecided. There is so much I don't like about both candidates. I'm still leaning towards voting for the emperor :o)

>In my opinion, when clear match is not feasible, not voting is quite acceptable choice. It is possible, that people should still go to vote because of local races.

My God. I almost agree with you. The only reason why I'd say not voting is not really acceptable is because it's too often interpreted by the various parties (various in Canada, anyway) as apathy, and they learn nothing from it. In that instance, I'd go in and cast a non-vote, or even a write-in, just to make sure that the parties knew I was not in favour of any of them and that it isn't just apathy on my part. Otherwise, I agree that not voting for any of the parties is acceptable. I also agree that voting for the local individual might still be worth doing.
