Suppose parties weren't so confined to only have one nominee (to not split the vote), who would you actually vote for if given a multitude of choices? Assume this vote is strictly on the issues and the qualities of the person at the head of the ticket - not party affiliation or "electability."

I would have to say I'm split betweeen Romney and write in Paul.
Romney would be good because unlike the other two fools running now -- he actually has experience in the business world. Plus, he has run a state and that is much more akin to running the union then being a blowhard in the senate.
I also would like to see Ron Paul, because he actually has a plan that entails initial hard times, but it is the only way to get our financial mess back on track.

I'm not necessarily a supporter but am surprised to see that Ron Paul's name wasn't specifically included in this poll along with the other primary-election candidates. Why not?

Lou Dobbs for the win. That guy has it all figured out.

either Obama or Clinton would be my pick but can't have two and Lou Dobbs was on the list

Wow. 17 votes for Obama? I guess even if given almost every option out there (minus Ron Paul) people still think that he is offering something different?

While I am supporting and will vote for Sen. Obama, I do believe that there is someone better out there. I don't know who it is, but, I just refuse to believe that the choices we've been offered these last few elections is the best we can do.

I'm voting for Obama, but I agreed more with the positions of Dennis Kucinich.
