and your candidate of choice were on the ballot, who would you vote for?

I'd vote for Obama.

"I'd vote for _______________"

It would be great if everyone followed the rules and kept this civil. Just reply with that one sentence please.

d) None of the above.

12/18/2007 11:44:43 AM

I'm assuming you mean the actual one, not just a primary... so...

Obama, Paul, or McCain... who I vote for seriously depends upon the result of the primaries. I haven't given thought to the scenario you propose.

12/18/2007 11:48:36 AM

I'd vote for Crake.

12/18/2007 11:53:45 AM

Obama

I know some of you are having heart attacks at that...

12/18/2007 11:53:53 AM

I knew you fucking self righteous ivory tower armchair philosopher types were too self absorbed and pseudo intellectual to consider following directions.


None of the above should just be stated as "I would not vote"

So kindly, just follow directions.


I'd vote for Obama.

It if were help today...I woud not vote

12/18/2007 12:48:24 PM

maybe that's a little extreme but I don't want huckabee turning the US in the United States of Jesus

12/18/2007 12:48:58 PM

Republican primary: Ron Paul
Democratic primary: Joe Biden

My dream election (Paul v. Biden): Ron Paul

The reality election: the Libertarian as a protest vote against Clinton/Edwards/somewhat Obama and Giuliani/Huckabee/somewhat Romney.

12/18/2007 12:53:15 PM

I'd vote for Absolution.

12/18/2007 1:10:43 PM

I'd vote for Clinton.

I've never been more uninspired by Republican candidates, ever...

12/18/2007 1:22:06 PM

obama

12/18/2007 2:17:04 PM

Ron Paul supporters have a whimsical sense of irony.

12/18/2007 2:21:01 PM

I would support Pol Pot before Huckabee

12/18/2007 2:28:30 PM

McCain

12/18/2007 2:49:25 PM

Osama / Binladen 08

I wouldnt vote for any of the democrats. I dont trust most of the republicans. I like Huck...but he scares me at the same time. Same for Romney and Rudy.

None of us will know until Oct./Nov. probably....unless youre black...then we all know whos getting your vote.

12/18/2007 4:56:51 PM

clinton!

12/18/2007 5:40:49 PM

12/18/2007 5:44:15 PM

obama or mccain

12/18/2007 6:04:04 PM

ron paul <=> barrack obama > mccain > edwards > everyone else

12/18/2007 6:19:28 PM

bigun, I agree.

I tend to lean towards huck bc of the fairtax. I just dont see us having a winner though. Unless they run hillary.

I like obama the best out of the dems, but all of them supporting socialized medicine keeps me from thinking about voting for any dem.

12/18/2007 6:21:36 PM

looks like obama supporters are the only ones that can follow directions

12/18/2007 9:22:42 PM

I'd vote for Edwards.

12/18/2007 9:37:41 PM

i'll jump on the

Obama/Al Sharpton Ticket


can't wait for 50 Cent as secretary of Defense
Mike Vick director of DEA
Stanley O'neal for secretary of the treasury

12/18/2007 10:06:57 PM

12/18/2007 11:28:02 PM

McCain still, in hopes that once he's not worried about getting elected he can grow his spine back.

[Edited on December 18, 2007 at 11:29 PM. Reason : Oh I'm sorry, did I not follow directions?]

12/18/2007 11:35:49 PM

Ron Paul

(he's making so much money, he seriously might win as a third party (L?) candidate )

that's exactly how I feel

why are most democrats trying to do something so incredibly wrong, unconstitutional, and unnecessary?

we really need more fiscally conservative amendments, judges, public school education curriculums, etc.

"would you really move out of the country if ______ won? would you really?"

Quote :

"Can we find a way to hold everyone who makes stupid comments like that to thier word?? i would love for them to move...haha..."

here's an idea:

we legalize gambling, then have these people bet their house and citizenship on the outcome of an election

then when they lose, they'll move out of the country

Quote :

"d) None of the above."

this may have been meant as a joke

but that is a very serious vote

however, that "candidate" isn't on most ballots, but should be.......

I really do not think Obama's program is bad. Regardless if you support Universal Health Insurance or not it should be OBVIOUS that the health care industry needs massive fixes.

Obama's plan is essentially create an insurance program for individuals that do not have insurance through work or make too much to qualify for medicaid. The individuals would be able to choose from Private or public insurance. This plan would require Employers who do not provide health insurance through the company to pay into the system.

Honestly I think it is fucking bullshit for money grubbing CEO's to give themselves a $2 million XMAS bonus but not offer their employees a health insurance plan. If company owners were looking after their employees more there would not be this call for Universal Health Care b.c the only people w/o it would be those too lazy to work who should be fed to the dogs anyway.

Quote :

"public school education curriculums"

WTF is a fiscally conservative school curriculum. the current state of public schools is absolute crap. No Child Left Behind punishes the gifted and good students and further waters down education into teaching to the test. Every person who works in education I have talked to (got several friends teaching, mom's a teacher, cousins a high school guidance counselor) hates the program.

Clinton

Obama is still 23pts down nationally, basically same as a month ago


If you think about who will beat Rudy, Clinton has the best shot, Obama will be creamed and Edwards, poor Edwards, is stuck in a rut for 3rd no mater how angry he gets.

probably vote for mccain after watching the thing currently on 29 in raleigh...mccain talking about nuclear power and being green

[Edited on January 1, 2008 at 9:11 AM. Reason : ^what makes you think it will be clinton versus guiliani?]

1/1/2008 9:10:45 AM

McCain if he gets the GOP nod

otherwise will vote for Paul if he runs 3rd party

otherwise i don't know

1/1/2008 4:25:15 PM

ron paul

if he doesnt make it

obama

if he doesnt make it, i wont be voting.

1/1/2008 5:00:29 PM

^^^^looking at national polls is pretty pointless with the way our primary system is set up. right now clinton, obama and edwards are neck and neck in iowa. and clinton has lost her substantial lead in NH. SC is a dead heat between clinton and obama. if clinton gets third in IA or doesn't win NH, you better believe those national numbers will change in a hurry to reflect that.

1/1/2008 5:05:38 PM

I dont think so, how many times has the winner of Iowa ended up with the nomination here recently? Even NH? They are less and less important, Super Tuesday will decide this and Hillary has the advantage no mater what happens in Iowa or NH...they are the first, but they havent picked the winner(at least Iowa hasnt) in awhile. I dont think what Iowa or NH does will affect anything much.

Obama is the Edwards of 2004...



[Edited on January 1, 2008 at 6:48 PM. Reason : w]

Probably Obama

but only because i'm projecting my own hopes and ambitions on to him

I don't see Ron Paul winning this time, but I can see him winning next time if he keeps up his campaigning.

1/1/2008 8:34:36 PM

Obama

1/1/2008 9:40:08 PM

Edwards

1/1/2008 11:07:32 PM

It would depend on who else was running. If Ron Paul had a chance I would vote for him.

Otherwise, Obama.

1/1/2008 11:16:37 PM

i just gave money to Obama's campaign.

I do not want Hillary to win the primary.

1/1/2008 11:28:03 PM

this whole pakistan thing makes me wonder...i heard the guy that is the opposition leader is kinda more conservative and friends with the taliban...i think i'd rather have pervez in charge than an open taliban supporter...seems repubs want pervez to stay and dems kinda want democracy which to them basically means he gives up some power or something...and the guy is the guy pervez ousted in the coup like 10 years ago...whole situation seems so freaking wierd
