on issues such as the war, healthcare, technological and scientific development, jobs, infrastructure?
Do you plan to look at how well they have kept promises in the past?
Or do you plan to look at their photos and critique their appearance?

Personally? Yes. But you do have to realize that there are many who firmly follow instructions and believe what they are told by those in whatever party they follow. For them, positions mean less than blind partisan faith.
That's the kind of stupidity that got us into this mess.

By the time that Primary, or General Elections roll around, anyone who is paying minimal attention will know everything, both positive and negative, about every candidate.
The whole process is about hyperbole and image, and personal attacks on one's opponents. The days of honesty and commitment to issues are sadly, dead, and it's all about who has the best campaign staff.
Another thing is,..no matter how well you've researched your choices, power and prestige change everyone, so there's no guarantee that the person you elect will remain that person you voted for.

I've already been reading. If you reason through Ron Paul's "positions," you quickly see how far out in left field he truly is. No IRS? How's he plan on keeping a strong military? Health Care coverage for all? How? He's done away with the IRS? Smaller government? By introducing healthcare coverage, he's going to need a ton of people governing and regulating it. He's not thought through much of any of his proposals.

People are that nieve. But not exactly how you said it.
Out of site out of mind. I think that's why some news companies aren't even giving republicans air time (unless it's to slam them).
But I'd like Hilery to take a stance on an issue. I can do the same she's doing,.. and nay say all people that aren't her. Put the focus on her faults and not her strengths (what ever they may be).

I always research the candidates, on their history and positions before I vote. I don't care about their appearance, what is important to me is if they can do the job, not how they look doing it.

I always vote based on what a candidate has to offer and where they have stood in the past on issues...I do not care what they look like.

This is a good question, and I believe that if you were able to do a scientific study you would find that most that are going to vote for a Republican will do research and most that are voting for Dems will tell you that they are voting for Dems because they try to take care of poor people.

I already know who i'm voting for in the primary. Don't you?
If not, what are you waiting for, the first one is about 6 weeks away.

Absolutely. And i'll do it primarily through the league of Women Voters, who I believe to be the most non-partisan of all the organizations.

I plan on voting for the person with the best haircut. Fortunately it belongs to John Edwards.
