John Edwards. I live in TX. I have chosen John Edwards for the fact that he is the only Democratic candidate who speaks clearly on the issues and actually has a plan for universal health care and a plan to get us out of Iraq. Neither Hillary or Barack have clarified their stand on either of these issues. I also do not like the stand Hillary has taken on beating around the bush about her vote to go to Iraq. Edwards apologized. Why is she having such a problem doing the same? Also, Barack has indirect support from the liquid coal industry which I am TOTALLY against.
I drove to San Antonio from Austin this last Wednesday to attend a rally for Edwards. He's a very engaging speaker and very direct and honest. I would recommend anyone who has the opportunity to see him speak do so. He really draws you in. As far as electability and appeal go, he has the best chance of reaching out to the most voting demographic groups, i.e. women, unions, etc.

Still looking. Haven't seen any that meet my minimum standard - express a vision for this country that creates wealth in the world & at least as conservative as JFK & MLK. Neither party has offered up such an individual. Newt is the closest one even mentioned so far.
I'm looking for someone that will encourage the masses to strive to advance their own abilities & create their own vision. This person will make the US better because of his/her leadership not inspite of it.

For those that are looking at the price of gas to make a choise - compare the cost of a car vs the cost of feul. Ask your self why that ratio is the car has gone up faster in 30+ years than gas. Could it have something to do with the 1st world throws nothing away that comes out of an oil well today i.e. be have found Sell-able by-product rather than having to spend of disposal of waste.

New York
Senator Biden has my vote. I know Hillary and although I respect her, it's time for some fresh ideas in the White house. No one likes to go back to the good ole' days. (if we did, George senior might run!)
I've followed Biden for years now and hoped that he would try again.
The reason -- Experience.
He also fights for what is right, not just for what is popular. And he has some interesting ideas on dealing with Iraq.

My vote would be for Senator Chuck Hagel. He is the only one that has the guts to stand up to this present administration and tell it as it is. It also doesn't hurt that he is a combat Veteran and knows what combat is really like instead of watching it in the movies like Bush and Cheney have done.

Joe Biden is the only one I might vote for.
I consider both parties morally bankrupt. I would vote for any third party candidate. If there is none I will vote against the party holding the office. I would NOT vote for Hillary or O'Bammy

It's way too early to say, I just changed my state of residence from Maryland to Delaware. If I have to pick from your list today, I would say either Giuliani or Romney. I don't like Senators, of either party, since they only excel at debating, I want a Governor or even a Mayor (of a very large city), since they have experience running things.
Oh yeah, I forgot (since you didn't put them on you Democrat bias list), Newt if he runs of Condi if she runs.

i visit vote this time. this is a prevalent for me - yet i imagine that that is a huge selection and this is going to save our u . s . or damage our u . s . - I easily should be an element of that, can't merely sit down idle and watch the television and enable the fatcats have each and each of the say...
