If the election for the president were today and you had to pick between Barack Obhama, John McCain, Hiliary Clinton, or John Edwards, who would you vote for?

None of the above. Once again the Democrats just haven't managed to scrape up a strong enough candidate.
Obama is a nice guy, but he doesn't have enough experience and he needs to wait another 4 or 8 years.
Nobody wanted Edwards last time. The same people who didn't vote for him during the last election are not going to vote for him this time either. Not to mention the fact that he doesn't really seem to have a strong stance on any of the issues. Edwards needs to sit down now.
Nobody actually likes Hiliary Clinton. I hate to say it, but she comes across as a bitter old harpy. If she actually gets the Democratic nomination, the Democrats will basically be handing the election over to the Rebublicans. Maybe if Bill ran again....
McCain is too much of a loose cannon to be a strong candidate. He's sort of like that crazy old uncle who sits in the corner of the room at Thanksgiving and occasionally yells out something weird every few minutes, and one of your aunties says "here Billy, go take your uncle John another coctail and a chicken wing tell him to settle down".

Obama seems promising, but still too early to tell. Definitely not McCain. John Edwards is forgettable and probably won't make it far. I would vote for Hillary. Her health care plan that the Republicans scared us out of is worth revisiting. She cares about the environment. I think she would stand up to Big Oil and Big Business and do more for the working man. No more tax breaks for the wealthiest 1% while the working man can't afford health insurance for his kids. I remember when the biggest news on tv was Bill's inability to keep his pants on. Now all we hear about is soldiers dying in Iraq, Bin Ladin still not captured, and the environment is a mess. I remember the Clinton years as being mostly peaceful and prosperous. I think Hillary will do better than Bill did.

From your selection Barack Obama (which you incorrectly spelled Obhama). His message so far has really resonated for me, and I believe he's definitely got a future in the White House. However, his experience becomes an issue for this election. I hope he has a great rebuttal for that. John Edwards faces the same issue and is a longer shot in my opinion because he doesn't have the star-power that Obama currently has. I've heard it stated that Obama is peaking interest a little too early though, and that it will probably die down before the primaries. We'll see.
There are candidates that I'd also like to see on this list that you did not include, like Rudy Giuliani and retired General Wesley Clark.

I would like to see either Edwards w/Obama as VP or Clinton w/Obama as VP. I really like Edwards and I think that he is in touch with the America of the future. An America for the Americans. Affordable gas, health care, and jobs for Americans. I have nothing against India or Indian people but why do they get all of our jobs now?
Why is it anytime I call any U.S. company I reach an Indian call center? Isn't Bush's Administration to blame for this? Isn't this tremendously un-American? Am I the only one that feels if the outsourcing continues that we will simply switch places with India? Meaning that soon our working class will become the unemployed, poverty stricken class. The streets of America will start to look like a 3rd world country!
I appreciate the United States trying to help out developing Nations. But this is a clear case of cost cutting to the detriment of us, the American!
Conversely, I don't trust Clinton that much. I don't know why, and have no real reason for it, I just don't.

Obhama (name mis-spelled, but who cares) should run and get soundly defeated, he has a lot of slick words that people like to hear, but not enough experience or back ground to be president. I would probably vote for John Edwards.

Hillary could desire to by no skill stay, so she would not additionally be counted. by no skill in a million years might I help Obama. He says he's for replaced...and a few of those anybody is under the phantasm that it truly is a robust element simply by fact he's youthful and 'hip.' substitute truly skill bigger taxes, crappy healthcare and coverage courses, greater illegals bringing down our financial gadget and nationalism, and we are going to be very vulnerable to terrorists. So by no skill Obama--every physique who thinks we could desire to alter the super values our united states grow to be geared up on desires to go hug a tree then die in a hollow. I say McCain a hundred%! he's the only desire for our united states...he wasn't the suited Republican candidate interior the race (Romney and Huckabee have been greater effective) yet he will make an infinitley greater effective president than Obama or Hillary!

I sure wish there were a "none of the above" choice on every ballot. All of those choices are just so bad. Not one of them thinks the government should be smaller and have less of an influence in our lives. I'd write in "Kermit the Frog" before voting for any of those 4.
