With the primary elections now only months away, who do you got at this point? Who do you think you'll be voting for? Why?

I'm registered Republican so that I can vote in their primaries. My vote is for Giuliani, who I view as the most socially progressive candidate. If one of the Dems can't step up, I could stomach the lesser of the evils in good ol' Rudy.

I would have thought you above Rudy, sir. I'm disappointed!

My vote doesn't count, heh. I've jumped on a certain bandwagon, though...

If Clinton wins the White House, I'm moving out of the country. But not to Canada. Canada's too cold.

Obama.

We need a different perspective on this war, and he seems like the type that would appropriately deal with foriegn affairs and bring our attention back home to problems we're currently dealing with. I never put my entire trust in a politican until he is in office, though, because for some reason they have a nasty habit of not making good on their promises. Hopefully, this time it just might..might be different. :rolleyes:

I've heard so many people refusing to waste their vote on him because they are afraid he won't even make it through the primary, and you know what, I'm also a tad bit edgy on the subject. This election will be of many firsts, but it could have the potential of telling the public how far we have really come with civil rights. Hopefully for the better. *crosses fingers*

Also, I agree with Karuka, if Clinton makes it into office.. :eek:

Can't even finish the sentence with something meaningful.

Can I vote for "not Hilary"?

Where's that check box?

A fine American myth. We don't ride in dog sleds or live in igloos, either, by the way. ;)

I live in Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania's too cold for my little warm-blooded tastes. Basically, if you get snow in the winter, expect me to not want to be there.

So Canada is too cold.

If she manages to win the Dem primary, I would vote for Clinton. I doubt she will, tho. Most people are dead set against her. My first pick, however, is Obama.

I'm registered Independent, tho, so no primary voting for me. And you Canadians... why are you posting in here? What would you Eskimo wannabes know about, sorry aboot, this? =P

@ Karuka Tida - Come live in the south. We haven't had snow where I live in 4 years.

May I ask why everyone is so dead set against Hilary?

And nothing about her personal life. I mean for what she actually stands for. Don't say "omfg she got a face lift! I don't want someone in office that's actually semi pretty!"

I wouldn't mind Hilary, well not as much as Rudy. He's a dangerous one when you see how he managed New York before the 9/11, which most outside the city did not. His vindictive personality is as bad as George W. Bush's pigheadedness and Dick Chaney.

Now Hilary isn't the best person for the job but she's capable, though I do think I like Obama more and think he's the fresh blood the executive branch really needs.

Because shes a politician that seems to thrive on old-school democratic politics and displays this glossy sheen upon her speeches to keep the public eye off of her. I'm of the opinion that she just doesn't have any positive contributions to add to our current condition nation-wide, and although I'm all for a woman president, could we actually have one that could leave the public confident with giving her the reins to our future? I apologize to any feminists out there, but it looks like you backed the wrong pony. ;)

Also, I think the way she dealt with her husband's affair angered a lot of people over the years. :eek:

John Edwards.

He offers the most specific, progressive, thought-out plans on the widest array of issues. Has both style and substance.

I have two reasons for not Hillary. The first wouldn't hold ground in debate, the second will.

The first reason is that the woman gives me bad vibes. Really bad vibes. I don't like her.

The second is that currently, we have the Muslim world watching for the U.S. to be weak. They'd regard a woman president as weak, and not respect her because of her gender.
