I personally don't feel that Obama has my best interest. I believe he has tried his best to get the economy back on track, but unfortunately I have not been very impressed with him. As I said before, he has not been horrible to me, but he just hasn't been a very good president either. I wasn't expecting fabulous results, being that he did take over presidency in the midst of a recession, but I certainly wasn't banking on another war, and an even higher rate of unemployment.

I'm going to see what other candidates will be running, but at this point Ron Paul is garnering my attention.
Don't be surprised if Bachmann gets the nomination. By the way, I don't think Obama has my best interests at heart.

Ron Paul will not get the nomination either. He's probably the only current GOP candidate I would ever remotely consider voting for.

The race thing is worn out, not to mention a ridiculous basis on which to form your political opinions.

I won't vote for Michelle Bachmann if she does. Honestly I'm disappointed in the options for the 2012 election.

I know that Ron Paul will most likely not get the nomination. But I don't think I could vote for Obama again. Not unless something drastic happens within the next few months.

I highly doubt that would happen.

He's my top pick too, and you never know what will happen. The polls are all over the place right now.

its a strong probability because they dont see the numbers, they see a black president...they will be out of work because of him yet they will vote for him and get on welfaresad to see them do it to themselves but they always do

I can't wait to see the GOP convention in 2012...I'll laugh laugh laugh...I bet average age of the attendees will be 70 years old. Ensure had set up a booth at the last convention...who knows what they'll be selling this year? The Clapper? Keep hoping minorities magically vote GOP when you spend half your energy demonizing them and making it harder for them to vote.

How is it harder for them to vote? Explain this.

Gladly. When you stop trying to corrupt the voting process by pushing for policies that let illegals vote.
