Fair enough. Hate away.

Not so sure Hillary's gender has anything to do with how much some people dislike her. She's been in the public eye for a couple of decades now, so most people have formed an opinion based on what they've seen of her in this time.

I certainly don't think John Edwards is liked very much by people who dislike Obama and Hillary. I know I personally dislike them all equally, with the only exception being whichever one is most likely to win the nomination, which according to polls means Hillary and Obama.

I also dislike Guiliani, Romney, and McCain pretty heavily, Thompson I haven't heard enough of to form a real opinon.

That is because Thompson is still trying to figure out what his positions are. A little late in the game, one might say, but there you have it.

I'm not really paying Thompson much attention. I guess I do have an opinion. I think he waited to join the race because he wanted to duck some of the first debates.

I honestly believe the only reason he is getting so much attention is because there are a lot of Rep voters who do not like McCain, Guiliani, or Romney. I think Thompson is mostly just a false hope IMO.

I think it is funny that polls seem to reflect he was doing much better when he wasnt officially running. He should drop out and go back to "thinking" about running and see if his numbers improve.

Yes, and he carried 49 states when he was re-elected.

I have decided to take another look at Romney since the Log Cabin Republicans have started attack ads against him. I am interested in anyone they are against.

I'll come out and say it...I won't vote for him because he's Mormon. That religion just makes me very uncomfortable.

Ah yes, because there is nothing as pressing facing this country or world other than who the Log Cabin Republicans support or are against.
