I don't particularly like politicians in general, but Mike Huckabee seems to have some good ideas and seems pretty sincere...

For me, Hillary Clinton is the one for the Whitehouse. She has the experience, the intelligence and the forthright to get the job done.

I'll vote for either Edwards or Obama in the primaries. I'm suspicious and mistrustful of Ms. Clinton -- she doesn't articulate many of her policy positions, and I hate her yes votes on the war. I want to see our troops out of Iraq, and we need to finish the job in Afghanistan. Alas, it doesn't look like Edwards has much of a chance since the corporate media is screwing him out of the attention that he needs to get votes.
None of the Republicans are acceptable to me. All seem to further endanger the separation of church and state, which, in my mind, is a central pillar of our country. Every Republican seems to want to repeal Roe vs. Wade, which must not happen. McCain is too much the warmonger, and anti-choice, but he is the best of the bad lot of the GOP. Romney and Huckabee are far too religious for me, and Guliani is a slimy used car salesman, cross-dressing aside. He didn't do much anything for NYC during 9-11 except pose and look brave. It was the firefighters, police and paramedics who are the real heroes of that dark day, especially those who died, not these Republican fear-mongers and Jesus-freaks.
Oh, yeah, about Ron Paul -- he's a closeted white supremacist and KKK supporter. Google his name+"white supremacist" and see how many hits you get. I could never support anyone like that.
I voted for Obama in your poll, but if Clinton is the Dems' nominee than I will hold my nose and vote for her. I may not like her, but any progressive agenda has more chance during her presidency than it does under any Republican.

Absolutely Hillary! I would like to see former President Clinton as her running mate. Imagine the Clinton's in office again...4 years of prosperity. www.HillaryClinton.com

Obama! Even though I'm an outsider looking in(from Canada). It just seems that he can take the America in a better direction than the rest of the candidates. It must be difficult for him running against 3 other democrats....John Edwards and Bill&Hillary.

I'd say let's have Hilary be the nominee and Barack as the VP, but their tensions as of late makes me think she will select Edwards - but if we have a Hilary-Obama ticket for '08, let's see Hilary have two terms, and then Obama run in 2016 and have him govern our nation until 2024 with Hilary as his VP. That would translate to a Clinton being in the White house for 24 of 32 years. Sound unfair? Only fair game - there's been a Bush in the White House now for 20 of the last 28 years.

Gotta defend my man Ron Paul. A writer named Lew Rockwell wrote the allegedly racist articles on the basis of which Ron Paul is being accused of being a racist. The president of the Austin chapter of the NAACP has been friends with Paul for 20 years and didn't believe the words of this ghostwriter represented the beliefs of Ron Paul. He also agrees with Ron Paul on a lot of issues. I don't believe Ron Paul is racist, but, if he were, I don't think he would let it affect his determination to act in accordance with the Constitution, and the country would be better off with him as President. But he isn't a racist.

Ron Paul seems to have a decent following in Michigan - as far as many people around me are concerned, but it's a matter of time until he leaves the race, only capturing between 10-20 delegates thus far.

I'm not going to get into why I think Giuliani won't be the guy, I don't think he will The most marketable guy for the Dems I think is still Jon Edwards with O Bama as his running mate. Baby steps people, baby steps. I really think the nation can be sold on a black VP at this point. I don't think O Bama is ready to be President, yet.
However, I really believe the majority once they get behind the curtain will vote for a white man over a Black or a women.
It's a fucked up reality that I don't buy into. But, the majority of the nation I believe isnt ready.
My 2 cents
Edwards has no chance what so ever....hes a yes man....a follower....hes the guy that when the big italian says "hey boss should we wack this guy" Edwards says in his high piched voice "yeah boss should we wack em boss huh boss should we wack em huh huh.....hes one anoying dude.
Edwards is the best chance and you'll see once the debates begin.
Obama is not ready. O bama well be a VP before he is ever a President.
Seems like you already lost THAT bet, my dear . On another note: Does your busy moving schedule leave you some free time to get back to our Email-discussion? It's markusrodman@gmail.com for contacting that kinky German psychologist you surely remember...

Obama is going thru a bit of a tough time right now with the video of his ex pastor surfacing on youtube.But if Hillary can't get her way and get Florida and Michigan to get seated at the convention then she is toast.She'll have to suck a lot of c### for that.Seriously though it seems to me that people now are making their decisions not on the viablity of the candidate but sadly on who they don't want...therefore voting against someone rather than for someone,just my 2 cents worth

Yeah, that is the cowardly way out: vote for someone you don't really want just because you don't think your favorite can win. I'll vote for who I like, even if I don't think he has a whelk's chance in a supernova.

Hillary is on a power trip. She's an admitted socialist and frankly she scares the hell out of me! This country needs a leader that will fix our economy and do the bidding of "The People" not follow a personal agenda.
