Who are your political leaders voting for? I took a quick poll today of the Bakersfield City Council members before their meeting started.

The city council positions are nonpartisan, but members of the council have their own party affiliations.

Sue Benham is voting for Barack Obama.

Ken Weir said he is undecided, but will be voting in the Republican party and won't be voting for Mike Huckabee or Ron Paul.

David Couch said he became a McCain man today.

Zack Scrivner sent his ballot in a few days ago, voting for Giuliani.

Harold Hanson is voting for Mitt Romney.

Jacquie Sullivan said she is not sure yet, but she's going to vote for the Republican who is most electable.

Irma Carson, the only African-American woman on the council and a Democrat, won't be here tonight, so I'll have to find her later.
