I am sorry that I did not made myself clear. I wanted to ask, out of the Presidential Nominees who would you vote for and why?

Whoever the Democratic nominee is and hopefully that will be Obama or Hillary. I think they are the most capable of handling the job. They both have good health care plans. Obama has a fabulous education plan and he wants to secure the borders which definately needs to be done.

Former Senator Mike Gravel. You might remember him from 1971, when he did a one-man filibuster for 5 months and forced the end of the military draft.

Hes a man with principles and the guts to stand for them. He speaks plainly and truthfully, with no sugar-coating. His ideas for the country are well thought out and reflect his intelligence. He has passion and isnt afraid to get angry from time to time. He really stood out at the first Democratic debate. Everybody except him played it very safe and talked alot but said nothing. Alot of politics-as-usual, which is exactly what the country doesnt need more of. Gravel is a man of the people, not of the corporations.

He wants to get us the hell out of Iraq.

He wants to get rid of the federal income tax and replace it with the Fair Tax (www.fairtax.org)

And he wants to empower the American people to be able to make laws by using ballot initiatives at the national level. Voters in 24 states and over 200 communities across the country already make laws with ballot initiatives. Why cant we do that at the Federal level instead of entrusting all the lawmaking power to less than 600 people in Washington? Who do you think would make a better decision, less than 600 people (many of whom are working for Washington's 30,000+ lobbyists) or a majority of the American people? I think I'd trust a decision made by millions of people more than I'd trust one made by a few hundred.

If it comes down to Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party, I would probably vote for her. She is hard-working and ambitious, connects really well with several groups of people, and has good ideas for America. I believe America needs a female president - it is about time we had one! Women are just as good as men - our past male presidents have made many, many mistakes... I don't think a female president could do any worse than say, President George W. Bush, for example...

I will be voting for the democratic nominee whom I hope will be Obama. But if it is another democrat, I will take him or her over any republicans that are in the race now.


Chevella...Obama is a Professor (Master) of Constitutional Law which you claim is important to you. If you check his history (go ahead it wont bite) you can verify this yourself.

So far, my vote is going to Ron Paul. He is the only candidate who still respects the Constitution. All the other candidates have been ignoring the Constitution in their actions in Congress and their campaigns. Ron Paul is the only candidate the People can trust to protect us and our rights.

He plans to drastically lower taxes, allow a true free market to naturally regulate gas prices, and he will never pass a bill like the REAL ID or Patriot Act that infringes upon our Constitutional rights.

Here's who I refuse to vote for:

Mitt Romney (slimeball that can't tell the straight truth)
John McCain (agrees with Bush on the Iraq war)
Hillary Clinton (will ban smoking and socialize healthcare)
John Edwards (has no concept of people's rights)
Obama (a politically inexperienced master of hollow rhetoric)

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence and as a lawyer she can decide correctly on critical issues. She is also a former First Lady and as Senator she could have stability under pressure.

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

I'm going to fill in the box with my name because I don't like any of them...

"If I have to choose between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich, I'm not going to vote!"
(((Quote from South Park)))

I feel the same way Stan did...but it is still early in the race so I'll see if anyone improves...

I'll tell you who I'm NOT voting for!

Bill Richardson
Hilary Clinton
Obamo((hahaha!))
Still have not ruled everyone out yet but I'm sure it will come down to the last 2 people on earth we want running the country...

Just my 2 cents!

Neither candidate of either party. Both parties exist for power politics and not for what is good for this country. I do not feel that it is democratic to vote for one candidate or the other for the simple reason "there's no body else."
Not voting is in fact casting a vote. A vote against both parties and the status quo.
Both parties are responsible for the high price of gas, medical insurance, corporate corruption, 9-11, and the war in Iraq.
This last round of elections the Democrats promised to succeed where the Republicans failed. They promised to fix the war in Iraq, clean up government corruption and get tough on immigration. Instead the Democrats gave in to Bush's demands, flopped on immigration and voted for amnesty, and have not called for the resignation of Representative "cash in the fridge" Jefferson. So why vote for one or the other when you are going to get the same product?
Maybe I will in the end vote. I can always flip a quarter and blame the mess on heads or tails.
