Feel free to discuss. Who you like, how you think candidates will fare, etc. Personally, I have a tough time sorting through who I like, and who I'd support. Right now, the only candidate I like, is Dennis Kucinich. So until something changes, I throw my support behind Kucinich. That is until, of course, Tiki becomes 35. Then it's him all the way. |

I can't vote yet..... I'm no citizen....
But I'd vote Democrat. And then, I'd go for Gore. As he won't run, I'd go with Richardson or Edwards. As they won't win, I'd go with Clinton. Second choice: Obama. Third choice: The T. -------------

I have a serious problem with a lot of the nominees:
McCain is a great leader for a Republican anyways, but he is a little bit too old and a little bit Conservative. I hate Hillary, not questions asked. Barack Obama is way too young and way too inexperienced, but still be better than Bush Mitt Romney is a back-stabbing son of a bitch who wanted to become President in the first place, but instead became governor of Massachusetts to "gain experience for the job". What a prick. And of course, the only vote I'm going to vote for is either myself, Daniel Gildenlow (I'm sure he's SICK OF AMERICA AND NOT AMERICAN!) or Ralph Nader. |

Now I know something about Obama he has a brilliant career ,he is prepared ,intelligent and progressist,he could be a good president for USA and for the USA relation with the rest of the world,I hope that he wins first over Hillary AND AFTER over the republicans .And I BELIEVE that USA is prepared for a woman or for a non wasp candidate. |

Get ready for the worst, guys, once Micky gets wind of that... I can just picture him in his best, full-on firebrand mode! BTW, I'm not an American citizen, but chances are I'll be involved in all the brouhaha in some way or the other... Personally, though I don't know much about the candidates, I'd root for either Hillary or Obama for quite obvious reasons. I don't think the latter has any chances, though. |

I dont think America is ready for a black or a woman president. I would like to see Obama get into office, however, and I think he would do a better job for this country then Ms. Clinton. (Though of the two, I think Hilary has the better shot).
Although if Rudi ran, I would most likely vote for him.
It will be an interesting election for sure. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

In a more serious note, this will be my first election and am looking forward to it. I need to find out a bit more about the particular candidates, but it'll be most likely a democrat or an independant who will get my vote -------------  <font color=white>butts, lol[/COLOR] |

^ oooooooooooo I meant ME. As in myself, who created this thread. I thought about a "you" option though... SO, whoever voted for the me option...has just given me one vote for the Presidency. Anyway, I personally have wondered who we wil laccept first. A black man, or white woman.....or reject both. Guess we'll finally find out. |

I don't know that 2 years in the Senate qualifies as a "brilliant career", but he certainly appears to be a breath of fresh air. It was surprising to see even some conservatives on political shows singing his praises. The man has charisma, that much is certain. I'm wondering if he'll turn out to be the JFK of my generation or will just fizzle out. Depends on how he survives the Clinton "machine". |

Check out this website: http://www.fvap.gov/ I'm not sure about the details, but you if you used to live in the U.S. you may be able to register in that state, and if you've never lived in the U.S. but one of your parents used to, you may be able to register in that state where they last resided. |

I'd love to see a woman president but I don't think Hilary is the one to do it.
Elizabeth Dole on the other hand would have made an excellent candidate, but as we know Bush got the Republican nomination and not Dole in 2000. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I'll vote for other. How come the democrat side of tyhe race is getting a crapload of coverage and the republican side isn't. If it keeps being like this, people are going to be biased when they are voting. I think I'lol put my vote in as other. If a democrat should be president, though, the person would have to be Barack Obama.
Also, in case you're wondering, yes, I am a Republican.
Aw, crap! I didn't see the Rudi Giuliani option when I was voting.. -------------

This poll is an accurate sample of why democrats haven't won lately: in raw numbers, they ARE winning, if we add all the democratic candidates' votes together... but as votes for a single candidate, Giuliani is winning. republicans are so much better at sticking with their horse till the end. But I hope that chenges with Giuliani and McCain, and I hope Obama does the decent thing after he loses the primary (it's going to happen) and gives Hillary his support.... otherwise, four more years of G.O.P. -------------

I'll most likely be voting for Mitt Romeny. However, if Pat Buchanan
were running I'd gladly vote for him despite what you all will all
undeniably say about third party candidates.

A third party wouldn't hurt things that much... but believe me, you don't want a multi partidist system like in my country (and most third world) where we have more than 20 political parties, most of them without agendas, ideologies, just there for the candidate of the moment. -------------

Guliani, mostly because he's the least-partisan major-party candidate. The entire party system is stupid, but we can't elect a guy who isn't a part of it. A guy like Guliani is the closest we'll come to a solution; he isn't so different as to not be able to run with a major party, but he also isn't yet another moron making descisions just because his party says so.

......Tiki's retiring still strikes a nerve with me...... I will become his personal/campaign manager, so I can guarantee you he won't decide to step down from the Presidency after like, 6 years  Not to get off the topic off real politics: I retract my first endorsement. Kucinich reflects my ideals, but I don't know if idealism is meant for the Presidency. Guess I'd probably say Hillary. |

hahahhah.. love the Guliani votes... seen the latest polls on him. As many people think he is pro-life as pro choice.
He'll NEVER be nominated by extremists on the right once the american
public actually reads the paper and see's that he is a ...wow.. liberal
republican. Don't see them much anymore.

I'm voting independent this year. I realized that it's more important to give my vote to the candidate who I feel has the best political stance regardless of whether or not I think they'll win. It's likely that I'll either vote green or for nader (since he's running without party affiliation this year). Republican or democrat it will be the same old sh*t. Vote for a party that isn't so structurally locked by the legislative branch and by the strict bipartisan lines if you want something to be done about the environment, education and foreign policy. A third party choice is the only way to make issues actually count. http://www.gp.org - www.gp.org -------------
