Rules are simple. I will post various major (ie Hillary, Obama, Edwards in '08) candidates to choose from of both parties and bold the ones you'd vote for.
1) You can vote for both parties' nominee.
2) If you vote for both parties' nominee, who would you vote for between those two in a hypothetical general election matchup? The matchup does not have to be OTL.
Ex: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama... Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton
