Now is not the time to be deciding. How can anyone make a decision before the candidates have been heard and evaluated?
The unfortunate thing about our politics is that it is not always the best person who gets elected. In all cases it is a person who ran for office but as we have witnessed in the past years it is not always the person best for the United States or even the best person running!
The issue has to be who is going to be able to FIX the mess we have got ourselves into! We need someone who can return America to the great nation it once was, regain favorable world opinion and our recognition by the rest of the world as a great country; not hated and distrusted.
The issue can not be; the first woman president or the first black president, or a republican or democrat, or independent or what ever. We need the best person in office.
Is that person in the running now? Could the best person be a farmer from central Idaho who has never been in politics, or a person who has spent their life time in politics? Remember; the blind leading the blind offers no positive direction! If we grow up doing the wrong things we will most likely continue doing the wrong things; “you always get what you always got if you always do what you always did”!
Give the candidates a chance to present their views on the issues, take time to look back on their past (political, personal, business, etc.) to decide if they are for real or just another politician saying what they think we want to hear! The past is a good indicator of the future; if the candidate has failed in major undertakings in the past why should we think they will do better running our country; because they have more money, or more power; we can see where that has taken us!
Having said all that I have to admit I was one of those who early on fell into the “that’s the person we need (or do not need) in office” syndrome! My immediate response to Clinton was why would I want to elect a person who says “I want to be the first lady president”, sounds personal too me – I want someone who wants to and can fix our country. A true leader, a true American President, there for all America, not republicans, or democrats, blacks, Hispanics, whites, protestants or Catholics, but Americans; His/Her customers, you and I!
Take time to study the candidates well – don’t vote party - vote for the best person. When politicians understand they are in office for all of us and not just their party they will start taking care of our real problems not waving party flags and spending their time tearing away at the other party.
I would hope, if today was the day to cast my vote, that I had taken time to do an honest assessment of the candidates and separated truth from fiction, honesty from politics, and today I could vote for America!

It shocks me how people only choose a party to vote for. If I had to vote, I would choose McCain, as there is a lack of ideas from the main Democratic candidates and the other Republican candidates are trying too hard to court the evangelical fringe. If it came to Giuliani vs. Hillary as it most likely will, I am going to vote for Clint Eastwood and pray our country is still running in 4 years.

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence and experience to lead the country as President of USA.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

I'd stay home. I did in 2004 and 2006. I'm still waiting for the Supreme Court Justices (especially Kennedy, Scalia, and Thomas) to apologize for interfering in the effort to find out who had won in 2000. If those bastards can order the election judges to stop counting the ballots, why should I bother?

Democrat, but not if it were Obama. More experience is needed from him and than maybe. Oh, bye the way Democrats and independants, and liberals love this country too.
