I am not going to give you the extremely long version,I will say so far,with the choices given,if I had to vote today...it would be Obama,not because he is a black man,he could be purple with green stripes,and not because he is a good man(which he appears to be),but because so far he has been the 1st candidate since JFK,and that had any resmblance to a patriot,and the fact that he has NOT" been corrupted to washingtons politics is absoulutley a breath of fresh air,I dont want another high end professional career politician,who smiles on que,and has no reguards for the people,WE are the bosses not the man,WE the people employ them!!Obama seems to be the 1st who get that...its early and I havent really heard all yet but so far,Im truly considering Obama....I am not an extremist,nor a democrat,nor repub,I am a conservative who votes issues.And for me Obama is right on point with alot of those issues...because I love my country and he appears to love it too.

I agree. Obama is a breath of VERY fresh air. I think an Obama/Edwards team would be good for the Democratic Party and our Country. I think Hagel is the Republican counterpart. At a realistic level, Obama and Hagel will have difficulty with getting the nod from their respective parties. I believe that the American People are soooo disgusted with both parties that there is a good chance that an independent run by Obama/Hagel or vice-versa would be successful.

A different president...Hey, why not me?
I haven't really been paying attention to the presidentail canidates at the moment so I am at a lost. However I think I will be really glad to be done with the Bush and Chenny administration.

I'm not sure. I would like to know more about how he would influence policy, and I haven't heard much. He could win based on the fact of his charisma and the fact that he spoke out against the war before the war. But I need to see more meat before I can vote for him.

I'm not overly fond of the man, but if it came down to him and Hillary (which it won't, since they're the same party,) I'd vote for him. However... if it came down to just him and Corky from Life Goes On, I think I'd have to choose Corky.
I used to like Obama, but something about him just seems to turn me off.

What I see in him is he cares hes intelligent and I don't see any reason why after reading his bio he would't be a good candidate. Its time that someone else be given a chance rather than a puppet with ulterior motives

If Arnold can do it, Obama can do it too, give Obama a chance. Lets have a Black President.

Because it looks like Paris Hilton will be in jail for parole violations.
This love of celebrity is a bit out of hand.

He is the same (if somewhat newer at it) than all the other political hacks running.Do we actually need a president? That should be the question
