Sen. Hillary Clinton. I think she's the best candidate for the job. She's qualified, she's brilliant and she's more than capable of being an excellent President. I like her plan for Iraq and for the residual forces she plans to leave there. I like her intention to restore our tattered relationships with our Allies and form an Allied coalition to fight terrorism all over the globe. She's a cautious hawk, a trait important in this world atmosphere. Her talents for diplomacy will be very valuable in cleaning up the mess that Bush will leave behind him. Bill Clinton will be a great asset if she uses him in the right spot. She's got excellent relationships with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle and knows how to get things done. She has the support of more than a few generals, who have expressed admiration at her immersion and consequent knowledge of military matters since she has been in the Senate. I think she's the real deal, our best candidate, and she's got my vote.

I always vote for the most moderate person running for office.
Conservatives do not speak for or represent the majority of Americans. And Liberals certainly don't either. So why should anyone vote for president a man (or woman) who really doesn't represent the majority of Americans?
As to who I'll vote for depends on who'll get the nod. Hopefully on the Democrat side it will be John Edwards (a moderate) or on the Republican side either McCain (a maverick, but still a moderate) or Mitt Romney (although Romney is starting to backslide on some of his stanches to appease conservatives). In any case my vote will be for the more moderate from either party.
If he could run for president I would support Arnold: the Governator. Like McCain and Edwards, he has proved that he isn't for sale to special interest groups. And he is very much a moderate.

I can't say who I'm voting for, but I know who I refuse to vote for: Hilary Clinton. It has nothing to do with the fact she's a female. I could care less about that. However she is too damn wishy washy on every topic that's come up. If everyone likes something, she likes it too. If they suddenly don't like it, she scrambles to find a reason to not like it. She has no mind of her own what-so-ever.

Ron Paul
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.
He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

Former Senator Mike Gravel. Because hes honest, truthful and doesnt want power for himself or his party, he wants to empower the American people.
He wants to end the "war on drugs" which is a huge waste of money and is criminalizing people who arent criminals. We waste millions on a policy thats had as much success as Prohibition.
He wants to empower the American people to become lawmakers by using ballot initiatives at the federal level. People in 24 states and over 200 communities already make laws like this, and the only way to take back the government for the people is for the people to become lawmakers.
Those are just two reasons but there are plenty of others. I'll just give you some links to check out if youre interested.

Ron Paul - because he is the only man in Washington, D.C. who has the level of integrity that it takes to weild the power that the President of the United States has.

Definitely Ron Paul, if he manages to win the GOP nomination that is. He's the only candidate who truly supports individual freedom, he can't be bought by special interests, and he's a genuine, unpretentious person, unlike practically all the other slick, packaged political candidates.

I believe that it is too early to tell where the canidates stand. If the election was this November, I would consider Ron Paul even though I am a Democrat!

I'm going to write in Ross Perot because he was smeared out of politics by the GOP.
Otherwise, I think Peter from Family Guy is over 35 - he'll make a wonderful President.
