Thanks for the point, I did miss her. There are so many choices when you add those that originally had run. I only included Ron Paul of those that. as imperfect a sampling interesting results.

Let us know if there are others that should have been included.

While Obama hasn't delivered much change YET. He definitely has not messed anything up..which is a major plus considering the last president would mess things up for everybody on a constant basis. Obama also hasn't let the recession spiral out of control. He's doing a good job..but this next year we need to see some change.

It appears there would be no change in the results. I suspect this will be the outcome of 2012. It does look like Ron Paul mighht be more favorably received by the Reps.... interesting.

I find it curious that those that wanted change are staying pat with Obama. I know any change from W is a good one, even McCain is better than Bush. I don't find there really to have been much change, not like a Nader or Ron Paul would push for. Is it that we really don't want change?

Obama then. Obama now. Even given the disappointments, he's still a huge improvement over Bush and McBush.

What I like about Ron Paul, is when he is asked a question, he has an answer, instead of blaming someone, or a very vague general answer.
"We are going to fix healthcare" Yeah, now how do you plan on it working out. Ron Paul will tell you the pros and cons of each angle of the debate.

Default Another sour grapes poll

My option is not listed.

I voted for Obama and would do it again.

President Obama is doing an excellent job. He took over after the worst, most inept administration in the history of this country. Village idiot diplomacy and incompetence reigned during those horrific Republican-controlled years.

If voters continue to elect politicians who are "owned" by Wall St. and Corporate America, we'll get what we deserve....

...a Third World country where the rich are "filthy rich" and most everyone else is "filthy poor".

Obama isn't changing anything....he proved that to me by surrounding himself with Goldman Sachs executives who represent only corporate interests before he even got into office.

For healthcare the "change" we see is that he appoints the "Baucus committee" which is essentially like giving the Insurance industry a blank check to bilk the taxpayers of billions more dollars (rather than addressing the problem).

In three years the "Corporate Media" with stage another "dog and pony" show election and most likely the Republican candidate will be elected and.....
.....the wheel goes round and round..........

I voted for Cynthia McKinney of the green party. I like some of Ron Paul's ideas, like the tariffs, etc. but I don't like all of his tax cutting measures. I wouldn't have changed my vote because its my opinion that the Green Party could be the most innovativve and could take us where we need to go as a nation.

Now I'd be interested in a Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich combination. I'd just like to hear the platform they come up with, that could be pretty good I think.

I think I would have voted for Ron Paul because I think McCain would more than likely done what is not right for this country (although better than Obama). Obama has proven time and time again that he is completely unqualified for this position. He speaks well when he has a teleprompter and that is about it. He is using the financial mess that the Democrats got us into and making it worse and weakening this country all for his parties agenda and goals. I think Ron Paul would have gone beyond all of that.

Basically, we need to remove incumbents, put in term limits and start electing more people who are there to represent and lead, not to mention who are qualified.
