I voted Cruz but this is probably the first time in my lifetime that I don't already have my mind made up. The reason is that there are at least four good conservative candidates this time around: Paul, Rubio, Cruz, and Walker. Each has strengths and flaws, but I would be ecstatic with any of the four as prez. The question for me is which of the four is most electable. If you don't win, you can't enact.
This is probably the best field of Republicans in decades... Walker is definitely going to go straight to the top as soon as he announces. Think about a Walker/Rubio ticket. Any combination of the above really, although I certainly have my issues with Pauls foreign policy, I would absolutely vote for him over HRC.
You are assuming HRC is the only Democrat. I think that will change soon.
Well, Im not assuming she is the only one who has declared. I have stated that it is unbelievable to me that others haven't gotten in yet. You got Omalley and Warren to her left that have been flirting, who do you like or do you think someone else is going to get in? I'm wondering where are the common sense rational dems that could come in and appeal to any normal folk left in the party.
Between those four choices I will vote for Hillary, or should I say against any of the other three. Hopefully the GOP will present a better and real choice for the Indes, otherwise the Cons will be losing another National Election.
So either one of the three stooges or Hillary. Tough choice here.
Hillary is all that is left between the repubs and the white house and the supreme court judges who will be replaced. No brainer actually, not a tough choise. vote for hillary.

Because she has the big money pretty much sewn up, she will have the advantage of a very well-oiled campaign machine. Also, she has paid plenty of dues. Ds who differ with her on many policy issues have very strong feelings about how she has been treated and how obama has been treated. They *will* line up behind her.

I'm a leftie, I really like Warren, who I believe when she says she has no intention of running. Rachel Maddow has publicly suggested Claire McCaskill as a plausible candidate, which is interesting - McCaskill is definitely a conservative D - but I dunno whether she would be interested, and I think it is already bit late for her to get a presidential campaign going.
Other people have mentioned Jim Webb. I really like most of what he says about the mideast, although he is more conservative on other issues than I'd like.
Regardless of who the Ds nominate, that's who I'll vote for. There is *no one* in the R frontrunners that I could vote for.
