Sen Rodham Clinton will probably be the Democratic candidate and if she is I will vote for her but I dont' think she can win the presidency, I wish Al Gore would run and I wish she would stay in the Senate. I doubt any woman would be elected President of this country.
Sen Barack Obama will not be the party candidate but if by some miracle he is i would vote for him. America is not ready for an intelligent discussion on the history and current standing of African Americans, so it is certainly not ready for a black President. Should this happen he will need to hire talented mercs because the Secret Service WILL NOT take a bullet for him and he better pray.
Also the people of this country will expend far more time and energy to both impeach and remove him from the presidency than they did former President Clinton.
And I am inclined to believe that when any of my people become President the Lord Jesus shall return on that day...
I have heard some racial things about Sen. John McCain that worry me greatly, but he has always been bipartisan and has common sense. I believe that he will guide us through the war on terrorism, so yes I would vote for him, provided those things I heard are not true, which in my research they have not been.
Former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani I would NOT vote for....on general principle. I did not like how dismissive he was about the police brutality in New York. He actually didnt address it but said that people should instead look at something else as if the lives of innocent people didn't matter. And I am married to a former NY cop!
I dislike his term as a prosecutor and his seeming disrespect for his own group of people, although I hate the mafia worse than Bobby Kennedy ever did.
And lastly, as much as I hated Clinton for that whole Monica Lewinski debacle at least he had the sense not to marry that stupid whore.
I did not care for Donna Hanover, even from my life here in the South, but the way he handled the ending of that marriage was pathetic.
If he was through with Ms. Hanover he could have divorced her and then gone looking for a girlfriend.
America had one home wrecking tramp in the White House (hello Nancy Reagan - she was pregnant when Ronnie was still married to Jane Wyman, for those of you who do not know your Hollywood history) and personally, I do not want another one.
I am sorry it is all so judgmental but it makes me angry.
None of the above might be the right answer.

If it weren't for bad character, Hillary would have no character, Barack speaks well without saying anything, John McCain is a fool if he believe in his own McCain Feingold bill, and Rudy is the only one that you could trust to cry out "The Emperor is Naked!!!"
But you didn't ask about Mitt Romney or Ron Paul, both of whom may be better than Rudy, we shall see.

I would not vote for Hillary because I personally feel she's untrustworthy, but this quote also explains more reasons:
"Many Democrats agree that their ’08 candidate should be a unifier, someone who can give voice to the issues Americans agree on and reach across independents and some Republicans for votes. Hillary Clinton despite her high name recognition, acumen for raising money, political markers transferred from Bill, and popularity among the Democratic elite, will have to prove that she is not the polarizing figure that many of rank-and-file Democrats worry about. Intelligent and articulate, she nevertheless lacks the ability to connect with people that made Bill so magnetic. To quote Bill Mahar, “She’s the wrong Clinton.”
Others fear that once Hillary is a candidate, Republicans will relentlessly dredge up vivid reminders of the more tawdry aspects of the Clinton Presidency: the Monica Lewinsky revelations, Jennifer Flowers, and the impeachment attempt. Many Americans were sympathetic to Hillary throughout that drama, but it is a fair guess that voters do not want to be reminded of it daily. There is also a long history of Hillary being the prime target of reactionary talk show hosts throughout the American South and the West, who railed on nightly about Hillary and invited listeners to call in and join in the demonization of the First Lady, when Bill was President. The right-wing conspiracy that Hillary decried did in fact exist, and she was their target. Although attacks on Hillary were essentially groundless, almost half of the American electorate go into this election season with a negative perception of Hillary Clinton.
Finally, Hillary’s refusal to “admit she made a mistake” when voting on the Iraq War is regarded by many as a strategic blunder and stands in contrast to Obama’s clarity about the need to end the occupation of Iraq quickly. "(Quoted from
Writer and Activist's blog on BarackObama.com)
I will vote for Barack because I like where he stands on almost all of the issues and I feel he will bring our country together with bipartisan politics. He also seems the most honest and ethical to me and I feel he truly listens to what Americans want.
Here's another quote:
"In 2008, given the disastrous state of political affairs in America and its standing in the world community, the candidates with the most Washington experience appear to be headed for trouble in some popularity surveys. Polling consistently shows that many Americans want a fresh approach, a leader who is not representative of the system that has brought us to the crisis point. "Most voters want something new," says Democratic consultant Donna Brazile, who managed Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000. "They want less D.C. experience and more good values."
Nevertheless, Obama does have significant experience under his belt —eight years in the Illinois state Senate, and a seat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during his first two years in the Senate. Senator Obama has been notably productive in Washington—he’s the primary sponsor of 152 bills and resolutions, including three Senate resolutions, and 14 bills that he cosponsored have become law. He introduced the ‘Spent Nuclear Fuel Tracking and Accountability Act,’ which works to deter nuclear proliferation; the ‘Drinking Water Security Act of 2005,’ which reduces pollutants in our water; and the ‘Lane Evans Veterans Health and Benefits Improvement Act of 2006,’ which secures health benefits for our veterans.
Obama’s perspective on the topic of experience is instructive: “Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld have an awful lot of experience, yet they have engineered what I think is one of the biggest foreign policy failures in our recent history. So I would say the most important things are judgment and vision ... and passion for the American people and what their hopes and dreams are.” He is on record as believing that given a certain necessary level of experience, sound judgment is always more important than time on the job." (from Writer and Activist's blog, again-he summed it up better than I could)
There are many reasons why I like Barack, but I always think it's best for people to do their own research to decide for themselves, so I've included sources at the bottom. I also suggest reading "The Audacity of Hope", because it gives great insight to his character.
As for John McCain and Rudy Gulliani: there are too many issues that I disagree with to vote for either of them. I have researched all of the candidates on either side.

I'm for Rudy because he's done good work as a mayor. I'm disappointed with John McCain for being a Republican. Hilary's alright. I always wanted a woman in the white house but she's still married to Bill. They can't be in it for love unless they have an open relationship. There's something wrong with that. Barrak seems like a good provider to people but I'm not happy about him changing his name back to the one on the birth certificate. Does he want to help American Blacks or Africa's blacks? I'm mixed up about that. Anyone but Bush. I wish we could have Al Gore again and there's a black guy who's in politics in the South who said that we need to remove the need for abortion. He had my vote right then but I don't think he's running for president yet. I wish he would. Maybe someday.

Would not vote for Hillary because she is vile. She is Cruella DeVille.
Would not vote for Obama because he is rude and thinks he is entitled to the highest office in the land without any concern for earning it.
Would not vote for Rudy because he cheats.
Would not vote for McCain because he is lacking integrity.

I would not vote for Hillary Clinton, because she is PROMISING that she will violate the Bill of Rights. I believe her promise, since it is in black and white, right here on Y! Answers.

I would not vote for Hillary, because she is Hillary, she claims
that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary but she was
born before any one even knew he was.
Obama doesn't have the experience
Rudy is pro-choice.
Of the 4 you listed it would be McCain but since there are
more I will be selecting someone all together different
