I'm not asking who you are voting for or for political statements. I just want to know what the average person is going to be looking for in our next leader.

I'm looking for someone who is firm in what they stand for. Someone who is willing to listen to what other people have to say, someone who isn't stuck in their ways and is looking out for the best interest of the United States and the world. I am looking for someone who is willing to compromise when it comes to world affairs and who wants to keep the American people informed.

I would like to see our next President not be raked over the coals by either Liberal or Staunch Conservatives. A President similar that of W but has the backbone to stand up for what HE knows is right.

I would like to see somebody that will allocate financial resources to good causes rather than blow money on an unjustified war. Health care, education, alternative energy. I think all of these are the most important issues.

I want somebody who will deliver something to our country before making promises about what "will be done." I'd rather just see change happen than hear about it.
