reason eds & contribs & others announce who they're voting for
We have Slate's boring and predictable Obama-filled electoral choices, Kalim covered the non-endorsements of 18 leading conservatives in The American Conservative, and the gang at reason magazine today released their own list of who their editors and contributors and notable others will be voting for.
reason's is also a non-endorsement sort of voting bloc--none were particularly excited about any of the candidates. reason, being reason, also included answers to questions like "which president would you most like to see waterboarded" and "is this the most important election of your lifetime?"
Apart from reason eds & contribs, they also asked people like Steven Pinker (who talked about the Canadian Human Rights Commission here, and is a Canadian as well), Grover Norquist, comedian Doug Stanhope, amongst others.
The overall numbers:
Barack Obama: 12
Bob Barr: 10
John McCain: 3
Not this time/None of the Above: 5
I never vote: 2
Plead the fifth: 2
Anybody but McCain-Palin: 1
And the numbers for reason magazine eds & contribs:
Bob Barr: 7
Barack Obama: 3
Not this time/None of the Above: 3
I never vote: 2
John McCain: 1
Plead the fifth: 1
Anybody but McCain-Palin: 1
The more precise breakdown (because some reason-oids insist that they'll vote one way only if some conditions are met, etc., etc.):
Peter Bagge: Barr; Obama if close
Ronald Bailey: Obama
Radley Balko: Barr
Drew Carey: "Anybody but McCain/Palin"
Tim Cavanaugh: Obama
Shikha Dalmia: Nobody
Brian Doherty: Never votes
Nick Gillespie: Barr, if he votes
Katherine Mangu-Ward: Never votes
Michael Moynihan: Won't vote
Charles Oliver: Won't vote
Bob Poole: McCain
Damon Root: Probably nobody, maybe Barr
Jacob Sullum: Barr
Jesse Walker: Barr
David Weigel: Obama
Matt Welch: Probably Barr
Cathy Young: Probably Barr
