Will you be voting more for Obama or mainly against Romney? [View all]

I will be voting against Romney and the republicans, not really for Obama as in excitement or enthusiasm for him...To be honest, he has been pretty disappointing as president, speaking as an emphatic liberal. Not going to start listing all the problems I have with certain policies, but suffice it to say he is no progressive champion.

How about you? Are you really excited about an Obama second term, and are voting for him with enthusiasm, or is it more of a case of stopping the republicans from getting in and ruining the country again?
