Hilary is horrible. She sounded so desperate during the debate the other night. I would typically vote Republican, but I'm starting to like Obama.

The only good thing about them is that they keep the republicans honest.

Seriously, has there been a democratic leader with testicals since Harry Truman?

He's also the wealthiest politician in US history which is a tough sell to rural America.

This is a bogus story. That picture has been recycled from a story many years ago when a woman wanted to compete at the Augusta National Golf Course. An Atlanta radio station sent some interns down with the 'iron my shirt' signs to cause a ruckus.

I think the Dems are in a real pickle in this election. At a time when they should be able to sail through with a victory, their front-runners are a witch and an inexperienced teenager.

I really liked him too until I discovered that he's anti-abortion and doesn't believe in evolution.

It's really hard to believe that some people still believe that in the year 2008. What's even more strange is that a large portion of this country thinks the same way. It's not like the bible was "discovered"... it's a book that has been translated several times and wasn't even written down for hundreds of years. Ever played a game of telephone? Try doing that for 500 years...

many of the things he has proposed will not happen because of the houses. however, imo hes got the right mind set for the direction the next president needs to bring this country.

She's done. I don't think she ever had a real chance. My opinion: this country is not ready to vote a woman for President. Even if she were the most qualified candidate (whatever that means) she would lose.

Obama? No chance thanks to his name alone. Sorry to say, but there are too many not ready for a "minority" for the White House. And like others have said he's a rookie. What has he done?!? Qualifications are of course questionable for all candidates in all parties.

Being realistic, it doesn't matter who our President is because this government we've created is too big and ineffectual. This country is running on cruise control - nothing really gets accomplished IMHO.

It will take a benevolent dictator to pull this country out of it's malaise and slow downhill slide. But it won't be happening in our lifetime.

Politics suck.

The more that I listen to Barack Obama, the more I think he's going to be my choice for President. I like Edwards, as well.

You've put your finger on the big problem with this system. There is not going to be a candidate for the Republican party that I agree with on these issues. But there won't be a Democrat with a fiscal policy that I can get behind.

Both parties attack my liberties from different angles. Gun control, abortion laws, same sex marriage, socioeconomic policy that gives my tax dollars to illegal immigrants or the lowest-common denominator, etc.

I believe that the tears Hillary shed were contrived in an attempt (suggested to her by her marketing team) to soften her image.

Who are you Republicans voting for and why?

Put your money where your mouth is.
Why does disliking a moron like Hillary automatically make someone a republican?

I don't follow any party. I vote for the best candidate.

Unfortunately, the best candidate is always the "best of the bunch", and ultimately still a horrible candidate.
