I won't be able to determine that until all the candidates have announced their candidacy and put forth their positions on the issues. It will also depend who gets each party's presidential nomination and who the VP candidates are. But it's sure to be a great election!

I don't know yet because we haven't had a primary, caucus, nor nominating convention yet. They are still quite far off.
I doubt it will be any of the Republicans but I haven't totally ruled them out. Neither am I firm about any particular Democrat. Third parties are out of the question this year. Although I have voted third party in the past I don't think I will this time around.

Mitt Romney!!
There are many reasons he is my favorite candidate.
1.) He has offered to donate his entire salary to a charity. Coming from someone of money, it seems fishy that he would do such a thing and probably would give it to the rich, this is incorrect. He is a Mormon and Mormons donate 10% of their salary to charities regardless. If you look across seas to third world countries, you will see many projects that they have done over there, bringing people who have little survival rate into a more comfortable living situation.
2.) He is Republican, as am I. He upholds many beliefs on issues that I particularly agree with. If you look on this website: ( http://www.cnn.com/election/2008/candida... ) you will see his stance on particular issues.
3.) He is also a very personable, kind man. My boyfriend's brother works on his campaign and has nothing but positive things to say about him (they are unbias). Mitt Romney acknowledges those who work for him and knows their name. He maintains a close relationship, proving he truly cares about his citizens.

I'm supporting former Sen. Mike Gravel (D) for many reasons. I'll name a few;
1) He wants to get us the hell out of Iraq immediately.
2) He wants to abolish the federal income tax and the IRS and replace it with the Fair Tax (which you can read about at www.FairTax.org). Its basically a national sales tax with a prebate to help out the poor.
3) He is the main force behind the National Initiative for Democracy. (www.NI4D.org) Basically what this is is a legislative package including a federal statute and a constitutional amendment that gives the people of the US the power to make laws through ballot initatives at the federal level. People in 24 states and over 200 communities across the country already make laws through ballot initiatives. We should be able to do this at the federal level, instead of entrusting all the lawmaking power to our obviously corrupted Congress. The National Initiative would make the people partners with their elected officials and would add a check to the system of checks and balances.
4) He understands that the prohibition of marijuana has to end and that our drug problem is a public health problem, not a criminal problem. We have more people in prison than any other country on earth! This need not be the case, we need to stop making criminals out of people who are addicts.
For more info on all this and Gravel's stances on other issues, you can check out his website:

Too early to determine, but I'll vote for the most pragmatic candidate anytime over an ideologue.

I don't know. As of yet, I do not like anyone. I may have to sit this one out or vote for a 3rd party to make a statement.

Barack Obama-
"The decisions that have been made in Washington these past six years, and the problems that have been ignored, have put our country in a precarious place. Our economy is changing rapidly, and that means profound changes for working people. Many of you have shared with me your stories about skyrocketing health care bills, the pensions you've lost and your struggles to pay for college for your kids. Our continued dependence on oil has put our security and our very planet at risk. And we're still mired in a tragic and costly war that should have never been waged.
But challenging as they are, it's not the magnitude of our problems that concerns me the most. It's the smallness of our politics. America's faced big problems before. But today, our leaders in Washington seem incapable of working together in a practical, common sense way. Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions.
And that's what we have to change first.
We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans.
This won't happen by itself. A change in our politics can only come from you; from people across our country who believe there's a better way and are willing to work for it." by Barack Obama

Of those who really have a chance, Edwards is best. Any Democrat is acceptable. AT LEAST let's break the string of crooked national elections in the USA. Down with Dictator Dumbya!!!
