I go for Hilary Clinton. Most experience and would stay out of war. If I was old enough to vote, she would have mine. Obama can suck it.

If Obama had more experience in office, then I think people in general might have more confidence in him. I know I would. Perhaps it would have been loads better if he had waited a few elections to run.

I would like Edwards better if he had showed up to the marriage ammendment vote. That move on his and Kerry's part really hurt their chances in 2004.

That leaves me with Clinton, and I can't say I'm against her winning. No one has been able to give a good enough reason not to, despite their pathetic attempts.



Personally, I'm all for Colbert in 2008. His truthiness will lead our country to greatness, I'm sure of it.

I honestly am not even sure who to vote for. I can't seem to trust any of the candidates. I would love a minotiry, but Obama rubs me the wrong way and Clinton makes me feel like she's up to something lately. There is something behind that hard stare that I can't decipher. I won't rule those two out based on my intuition, but so far neither has said anything to pull me in. I still don't know enough about the others to judge. Actually, I don't really know enough about any of them to judge. Our newspapers haven't really had much about them. I'll have to start picking up the Ner York Times and USA Today from the school.

Obama needs more experience, which is why he should run WITH Hillary, and get experience there.

I was kinda surprised when they started nipping at each other.... I thought for sure they'd team up. Together they would have been unstoppable.
Maybe they're both holding out for Edwards? Or Colbert?

I'm ashamed to say that I don't know enough about Colbert to have an opinion. I love Edwards, though. I was hoping he would make it through last time. His family seems so down-to-earth and normal. They can handle the uptight society that they will have to deal with, but they have this simplicity about them at the same time that just touches me. They have actual life experiences along with knowledge of politics.

Colbert's got the right idea politically, but the fact that he's got no experience, and would probably have no idea what to do in office kind of kills that idea. Clinton's the most electable, though Obama's the best candidate.

Well imho I think that Edwards is going to be a dark horse and get in and maybe hopefully fix your people's economy as bad as it is now there is a reccession because of Bush. Sad

John McCain. Or I'd vote for him if he won the primary. Can't vote until after primary. If Giulani wins, I'll vote for the Democratic candidate, or a Commie or something, because I hate him.

I don't even think that half of the people voting in this pole are of age to vote yet. If minors can join, the "foreigners" can join.
