Is anybody really happy with the presidential front-runners in either party?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, no I'm not.

Clinton is entirely poll driven, which makes her come off as polished in the short term but the real world doesn't allow for rehearsals and run through after run through.

Giuliani isn't all that inspiring and the whole thing with NYFD calling him out makes him look like a putz.

Romney feeding Iowa to win the straw poll is really kind of laughable.

The good thing about this is the front runner before the Primary rarely wins it wire to wire. We'll see some changes in the next year. Bet on it.

Answer 2

The only party that seems to have gone with its best chance is the democratic party. They seemed to have an idea of what they wanted to do some time before all this election 08 nonsense started. The Republicans and the Independents seem to have gone on a mad dash to find a candidate they deem to be well worth the money to support. No independent candidate has, as of yet managed to fill that role, whether it being because they cant pull together a workable network and plan to do so. And the republicans figured they would put up second tier puppets to make it look like this election is still a close heat.

Answer 3

I'm not happy with any of the so called front-runners in either party. They appear to have a large "war chest" which is scarey.

It's still early. The front runners of today may be the "ho-hum" all but forgotten by the time the conventions roll around.

Answer 4

No, the front runners in both camps are pretty sorry specimens. If Hillary is the democratic nominee I'll contribute money to whoever the republicans put up against her. But I wouldn't vote for any one of the front runners. I don't believe in wasting my vote by giving it to the lesser of two evils. I'll use my money in a defensive manner to help elect somebody, but my vote goes to the person I truly feel will represent me best. So probably the Libertarian candidate.

Answer 5

If you mean who the Media and Party Elite say are the front runners, then no. There is so little difference between 99% of the DNC and the GOP as to make the two party system irrelevant.

The Liberal Obama wants to invade Pakistan, Moderate Hillary is against immediate troop withdrawl, Moderate Rudy wants to crack down on "Islamists" and so called Conservative Romny wants to spend even MORE MONEY on war and welfare.

I'm voting Ron Paul....he votes according to Constitutional legality has never caved into party pressure to buy a vote, and never flip flops.

Maximum liberty= minimum government.

Answer 6

There is not one of them that I can truly vote for because i feel they have a plan for moving the country forward. I guess it will be one more election to vote for the candidate that I think will do the least damage.

Answer 7

Hillary Clinton might clinch the Democratic nomination while Rudolph Giuliani might be the Republican standard bearer.

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

Answer 8

I admit, I am beginning to like Romney a bit (He was in my town yesterday). And if Thompson ever does commit, though not jumping up and down, I am OK with them.

Answer 9

No. The Republican candidates are out of the question because I just do not agree with how they stand right now. Obama is way too inexperienced with foreign policy. Hillary seems too harsh. John Edwards is too indecisive. The only candidate I like is Joe Biden....and it is too bad that he is not more popular in the polls.

Answer 10

Not particularly. I think they're also a reflection of how easy it is to talk a big talk and not support what they claim.
