I ASKED 10 FEMALES 

AND 10 MALES OF  

GENERATION Y  

WHO THEY'RE VOTING FOR  

IN THE ELECTIONS AND WHY?

By Rowan Millar

SUMMARIES OF GIRLS' ANSWERS:

1. LISA: Nader. Out of 
all the lame candidates to vote 
for, he's the best one because 
he cares about the environment 
and corporate greed and other 
good issues.

2. LAURA: Nader. He's 
in the Green Party and I don't 
like the other two.

3. GEN: Gore, because my 
party is the Democrats. 

4. VERONICA: Probably Gore, 
because I'm a Democrat, though 
I'm sick of the Clinton/Gore 
scene and attracted to Bush's 
"compassionate conservatism" 
image, so I'm not entirely sure.

5. KAYEE: Probably Bush, 
because I'm a republican, but 
not sure.

6. SANDRA: Maybe Gore, 
because he's a Democrat.

7. LORI: Won't vote 
because electoral politics is 
a scam.

8. SARA: Al Gore. He 
is a wonderful man and I 
absolutely detest George Bush 
and everything he stands for. 

9. HANNAH: I will vote for 
Bush, because he seems 
more stable of a candidate.

10. MARIKO: Gore, 
because I'm a Democrat and 
I really don't trust Bush.


SUMMARIES OF BOYS' ANSWERS:

1. DZEE: Gore, because 
he's on Clinton's side and I 
admire Clinton as a person and 
Bush is too conservative.

2. JOHN: Gore, because 
he's pro-choice and I don't want 
a politician taking away a woman's 
right to an abortion.

3. RODNEY: Nader, because 
the other two are bad choices.
4. JACOB: I want Nader, but 
will vote for Gore since he has a 
better chance of winning and is 
better than Bush.

5. NAJEE: Gore, though 
it's a hard decision, but it 
was good he chose a minority 
for V.P.

6. JIA: Bush, because 
he's a Republican.

7. ANTHONY: Probably Gore, 
because he was Clinton's V.P.

8. DAN: Nader, because I 
strongly support the Green Party.  

9. DANIEL: If it isn't close 
by the time California (Daniel's state) 
votes, then I'll vote Nader, 
because he's the best. If it's 
close and Gore has a chance, 
then I'll vote for him so as to 
keep Bush out.

10. JULIEN: Gore, because 
he supports humanity and not 
big business.
