Obama, because I feel he actually cares about the American people, and not just the upper 1%. He does not take money from lobbyists (he refused $50,000 when he found out it was from a lobbyist group)
He also has a lot of ideas that I think most of the people in America would like to see happen. The middle class and poor have been getting the short end of the stick in recent years, and he wants to help change that.
I do agree that it might have been a bad idea to talk to Al Sharpton, but I think he was trying to at least get some of Al's followers to take a look at him.
But, overall, if you read his book "The Audacity of Hope" and look at his senate web page and also BarackObama.com, instead of listening only to the media (which can be biased on either side, and only cares about selling more papers or getting higher ratings) then you will see that he speaks from his heart and has a conscience!
I've never been so inspired! It gives me hope that our country can change for the better!
I've never voted before this upcoming election, because I always felt we were shuffling around the same sort of people, who ultimately don't keep many of their promises, but this man is different! He's being compared to JFK by many people who were alive then (I'm 27, so I wasn't).
All I ask is that people look beyond the media and take an look at him with an open mind!
If you like what you see, join the growing movement to change our government! There are all sorts of ways to help!

I liked Barack at first. Then I saw him meeting with Al Sharpton and changed my mind. Your judged by the company your keep and Al is a racist. Just look at his history and you will see. I had high hopes for Barack because I thought he was different, open and honest. Now I see he is no different then the rest. I would like to see Ron Paul get a shot since he is a free thinking conservative. Not a true republican at all and he bucks the party all the time. I would love to vote for a real third party candidate. If you vote Republican or Democrat there really is not much difference between the 2.

Giuliani. As a New Yorker I know he is a strong SOB when its needed. We need someone who's not afraid to fight back. As for his sex life, people forget that when he was first with Judith he had Prostate cancer so there was no sex. She stood by him when his so called wife would not eve go out and campaigned for him. As for that brat son of his, he should be ashamed of himself. When Rudy made speeches he acted like a brat and his father did not shame him by telling him to stop. Hanover did nothing to help Rudy but she fought tooth and nail to stay in Gracie Mansion. Maybe if she took more interest in him instead of trying to get her Carree going he would have been able to tell her in person he wanted a divorce. This country needs him.

Barack, I think he at least deserves a chance. He is very intelligent, and he seems to know what issues are facing the US as a whole. He isn't focused on making the richer- richer it seems like he actually cares.
To Only P...Any president we get..is getting a chance..are you kidding me? Bush has had 2 chances and has failed miserably both times. Barack is my candidate..because its MY decision.

Barack Obama. He is intelligent, more honest than most, and if elected, would work very hard to live up to all the hype he has generated.

So far it's Giuliani, although I don't agree on his abortion stance. He has experience with lowering crime and handling a terror attack in his home town
Jays mom-- Barack isn't trying out for the football team. This whole "he deserves a chance" is non sense. We can't take chance at this point in history.

what america needs is:
1) someone who has morals left.
2) " " " that CANT be "bought" off.
3) a person who still believes in God and our wonderful country.
4) this person is NOT worried about "big-business" , does NOT want america to be owned by other continets, or just by the oil companys, or hog-lots, or one farmer, etc........(or one "trump"), get the idea?
gee, who could this possibly be......oh, yeah #5) someone who has the guts to "spit" @ the "poll-results".......dah.

So far, Romney. He has been more liberal, but the guy has a lot to offer. He is pro-life and pro-environment, which many Republicans in office lack. He doesnt appear to be corrupted. He is not as fresh as Obama, but he's fresh. He's new to national politics. He's smart. He's openminded.

Not yet. Problem is, the Media is fawning all over THEIR Favorite Four, and tell us NOTHING about any of the others.
