Neither, I'm not American.

Polls that have no option for me irritate me far more than they should.

As far as democracy is a oligarchy; the pyramid is already upside down.

Come election time, the masses have more control over their leaders than the reverse.

Democracy is nothing unless it has an educated, well informed, and active electorate . . . and this doesn't mean just voting every other year, or every four years, or whatever the term is . . . it means hold your elected representatives accountable for their votes and their actions.
If only a small portion of the voting population is the above . . . then their views will have a higher chance of being government policy . . . and funds to assist in campaigning also has a way of effecting policy (for better or worse).
This is why Primaries don't reflect the general election. Because usually the most active, and usually most ideologicly extreme members of political parties through their weight behind a candidate . . . this means that during the primaries the views of these groups will be reflected better by the candidates.

So read their websites, read independent observers, match them against your own views, and support the one who most closely matches.

However, to answer the question: I will be voting Republican, unless the Democrat Party some how nominates someone like Senator Lieberman . . . and of all those presently running . . . if I was forced to vote Democrat . . . I would most likely support Senator Biden. (meaning he won't be given the nod as the Democrat Candidate)
