Being from Nevada and not being able to vote in the Caucuses (thank goodness, what a fiasco) I have not declared a party and you can't vote in the caucus if you haven't. If I would have been able to I would have voted for Hillary Clinton. Now looking at things I think I would prefer a whole new party and vote for McCain. Obama never appealed to me as I think he is too inexperienced. I am more confused now than ever. Maybe after the Democrats have a nominee and the candidates can debate I will have a clearer picture. Do any of you wish you could go back and change your vote? Why? If you don't wish you could please don't respond.

I don't but my dad regrets voting for Giuliani. We live in California and he mailed in his ballot right before Giuliani dropped out so he basically wasted his vote. Now he's behind McCain.

I voted for Hillary and I still support Hillary to the bitter end if that is what it takes. She is the best candidate and will make the best President for America. We really need a great President... not someone that just talks pretty. America is in trouble and Obama nor McCain can fix it but I think Hillary can fix it. I will not vote if Hillary is not selected for democratic candidate... I cannot with a clear conscious vote for the other two. Whatever happens will happen but I don't want to be a part of it.

I was behind Fred Thompson to start, switched over to Romney when Fred dropped out, and now it's looking like McCain. I wasn't thrilled when he took the GOP nomination, but I'm really starting to come around. If he picks Romney as veep, I will be legitimately pumped about his campaign.

I began the primary season simply wanting a Democratic candidate. I didn't care which one. I would like to see the Republicans exterminated from among us because they have been absolutely regressive in mindset, action, and thought.

So I started listening to the candidates and Obama was overwhelmingly so much more superior than everyone else.

I went from any Democrat to Obama. It was easy. Still is and I'm glad my insights and perceptions are proving correct.

Alot of politicians have gone over to Obama's side and so don't consider him inexperienced.

I was for Hillary, and then she totally turned me off, and I now feel that she is a pathological liar. That really bothers me. Someone told me that I should read a book about her, that she is really scary. I haven't bothered to do so. McCain scares me even more, so I would much rather people be for Hillary than McCain. I think he would destroy what is left of the economy, is for war, and doesn't care about the middle class, much less the poor. He has this attitude about those losing their homes, they got themselves in the mess they desire what they got, when I think those lenders should be investigated and that the mortage rates should be rolled back until the investigation is finished.

At this point in time I cannot see myself voting for any of them.

I registered Democrat Party so I started out looking for which one was more like my thinking. I am African American so at first I liked Obama just because we are the same race. A lot of blacks are for him just because he is black but don't know what he stands for.

When I found out that last summer Obama said he would invade Pakistan to get Ben Laden I thought it was a crazy idea. More than crazy because Pakistan is a friend of US and have atomic weapons. That's when I started to question my support of Obama.

Then there was his big plans where he said he would only raise taxes on the rich and corporations to fund all his new government programs and fix the ones in trouble like Medicare. Well Congress spends the money, not the president so Obama is blowing smoke up our butts with all his "free" healthcare, "free" colledge education, "free" medicine and so forth.

Did you know that he is not only for abortion, a woman's right to chose but he is also for late term abortion. Late term abortion is when a woman is in the 3rd trimester or beyond and the fetus is almost completely developed. Like if a baby is born pre-mature say at 7 months it is pretty much developed. Well Obama says the doctors can abort babies like that when they are in the mother which to me is murder since if they were born they would live with premmie care.

Obama is for homosexual marriages. Now to me marriage takes place in a church. A church blesses aq marriage between a man and a woman but the Bible says very clearly that man lying with another man is an abomination. If homosex people want to get joined let them do it in a courthouse in a civil ceremony. Obama should not force churches to do something which is against the Bible. That is like a dictator.

So you can see by what I wrote above that I am voting for Hillary Clinton, With her you will also get Bill Clinton as advisor and helper. So 2 presidents for 1 vote. A bargain!

McCain's attitude about people losing their homes to adjustable rate mortgages is exactly what it should be.

They knew when they took out the loan that their payments could increase sharply, they signed the papers anyway because they were so eager to own their own home, and now they're paying the price. Their irresponsibility is coming back to haunt them in the end, and it's nobody's fault but their own.

What, you think that the rest of us who made responsible financial decisions should bail them out? Of course you do, which is why you're voting for a socialist like Obama.
