Harold Hjelmeland, Kokomo, Ind.

Hjelmeland, 71, is retired from the U.S. Air Force and a tractor truck manufacturer. He is an independent conservative and registered Democrat who has not decided who to support for president. "I vote for the man - his values, goals, stands on the issues - and never a given party," he says.
