I am definitely a Jater.

I like Sawyer over Jack.

But for Kate's other half. I have to go with Jack.

Just because I know who Kate truly wants. Kate wants the good guy. She's a bad girl, Sawyer's a bad guy. Jack will always hold that pull... and nobleness that she strives to attain.

I think she has feelings for both, but in the long run she'll always want Jack.

Well in the flash forward she did tell Jack that she need to get back before "he" wondered where she was......."He" being Sawyer, right?

Could be.

But the previews you lead you to believe that Sawyer goes with Locke's camp and does not leave the island.

I think that I personally associate best with Jack as a character and being that I am in love with Kate, it has to be! It has to happen!

I appreciate Sawyer too. That line to Kate in the finale, "I didn't say I didn't want to go, I just didn't want to go with you." That was like - WOW! Poor Kate! - and she nails the sulky face better then any actor in Hollywood! Where we stand right now she just got dissed by Sawyer (even though you hope deep down she believes Jack that he was protecting her) She saw Jack kissing an "Other" .....and Jack told her he loves her. Crazy stuff going on! What will happen with this quadrangle???

Skater for the same reason Bacchus is Jater. I'm Southern. I always go for the underdog everyman hooking up with the hottie. I realize Sawyer is still the model type in looks but his character represents the downtrodden. I guess I always felt like the underdog with women

His character has come a long ways, especially in the last season. Before we knew the full back story, I really disliked him as a person. However, after seeing some "hero qualities" shine through it became apparent that there was much more to Sawyer then I initially thought.

Maybe Kate does belong with Sawyer. Jack is quite self righteous (which is why there are so many haters out there) and what happens after he "fixes" Kate if they did end up together? Would he lose interest like he lost interest in Sarah? We gained insight into the future of Jack with the Flash Forward and it was not very flattering. Unless something happens to change the course of history, Jack is going to die a very sad man.

Random aside: I wonder if Kate is still on the run in the future. She seemed to be looking good and showed no signs of being a fugitive.

this sounds like a redstate / bluestate issue!
