So far, I think Obama is the best candidate.I did not know much about Hillary's character but after I watched the first debate, it became clear to me that her character is very flawed and she is a very dishonest person
I watched Mitt Romney on Meet the Press this past Sunday and I cannot think of a more contradicting, hypocritical, typical BS politician
He went as far as saying that he wept when found out that the Mormon religion was going to start allowing blacks in 1978 LOL. So full of crap, anyways I do not trust Mitt at all or any of the other Republican candidates, except maybe Ron Paul(although I do not think he has a chance)
I think I support Obama at this point, but I'm probably being hasty because I don't know enough about him to really support him. Hillary really irks me. I might agree with her on a lot of issues, but I don't see how it matters, because I figure she's being insincere in whatever she expresses. Even so, I don't agree with everything Obama believes, either.
Not sure that I would consider voting for him, but I'm kind of intrigued by Ron Paul right now. I guess there's no way he'll stay in the race anyway, though.

Not with that attitude. If everyone who says I would vote for him but I don't think he has a chance would actually vote in their primary, he would have a chance. Not attacking you personally, but the mindset that makes people vote for those they think have a chance, instead of the best candidate.

I am supporting Obama and I could support Edwards too. I cannot support Hillary simply because of the past. I do not really want the Clintons back in the White House because, while she says she can get change done, the fact is that she will be mired in scandles from day one just as her husband was his last 3 years and nothing will get done. She has too much of a past with White Water, the Rose Law Firm and the Travel Office scandle and she is too polarizing. What Obama lacks in experience, he more than makes up for in intelligence and charactor and he is one of the few candidates that, when he makes a mistake, he admits it and learns from it.
Well none of the Dem candidates seem to be for the American people, and I do not like most of the Repubs. either. But so far the only two I can come close to supporting is Romney or Paul.

Well, what makes you think that Obama is not for the people? I like his ideas and although I am very skeptical of any politician's rhetoric, his "crap" appears to be honest.He might not be all that he is trying to sell but I feel like he might be genuine If I had to give someone a chance, it would be Obama. All the others like Romney, Giuliani and Hillary are just your typical politicians.

Honestly, he is better than Hillary and Giuliani or Edwards and Mccain. But honestly, while many are focused on the war in Iraq, I am more based on the home issues. Number one being illegal immigration and in some of his speeches he has seemed to put them before the Citizens. I dont like his position on that issue. But if it came down to it he would get my vote before Hillary and a few others. And second, all the stupid fighting between him and Hillary and their petty ways puts me off.
I am voting for Ron Paul because he doesn't pander for corporate "sponsorship" and represents the interests of the people's freedom and preserving our rights. None of the other candidates have done this in the past and, to me, freedom is just too important for my children and their own children in the future. For me to sit back and let the politicians tear our rights and freedom apart would be amoral of me. Government responsibility is to maintain a strong national defense and preserving our future, not for dictating how we live and how much we owe them to line the pockets of corporate corruption. The people should be the president's boss not the other way around. Woohoo! Ron Paul!

I agree, I have yet to see a candidate want to return America to the people instead of letting the Corporations run it. Which is exactly what we have now. . Instead of keeping jobs and manufacturing at home, we support out sourcing. I can hardly find anything made here anymore, which is sad and setting us up.I also like his stance on immigration and letting the states handle some issues. SO right now Ron Paul is getting my vote.
I support the huckster but only because I'm a Homer Arkansan. I would support Ron Paul if:
1) He had some charisma and
2) He would say something in debates other than "Bring our boys home now!" Ok Ok I know he occassionally says something else but in the last IA debate, he seemed to try to answer most every question by coming back to that.
RP's true conservative platform is the only hope we have to return our country to what I view as our true ideals but I'm afraid he lacks the charisma, credentials, and strength of personality to be any more than a whipping boy should he actually win.
