Hillary or Obama? If you had a choice of ONLY these two for President, how would you vote today?

Question

I know that this is not politically correct to point out the issues of sex or race, i.e. that one is only supposed to consider the person's character, their record, their leadership skills, and their platform or stance on the issues. But let's face it. Sex & Race are on a lot of people's minds as they consider our Presidential candidates. Millions of people's minds, actually.

And I'm not going to even try to separate the question of sex or racial heritage from the candidate. One is a black (half black, whatever) male. The other is a white female. If either one becomes President, you know they will claim this as a HUGE, precident-setting VICTORY for either their gender, or their race. (But in the mean time, we're not supposed to think about those things now, right?)

So Republicans, Democrats, Independants, Libertarians, Centrists, and any other political affiliation you might call your own...I ask you: If you had to choose between only these two for Pres., who would it be?

One responder has pronounced my question as "totally pointless". I politely disagree. For those who will not vote for either Hillary or Obama, it speaks to who they would rather BEAR with to have in office. It speaks to the candidates ACCEPTANCE to the entirety of US voters after they are in office. If I already know there is going to be a large segment of the population not voting for either Hillary or Obama, one consideration in my voting choice is how well do they appease the interests of those who did not vote them into office. We still elect Senators and Legislators between Presidential elections, and do so on the state an national levels. We may vote for one legislator or another based on their standing with the policies of the person who is President. So if we want our influence to continue via our legislative elections, which President we would rather bear with becomes an important consideration.

Shouldn't we all try to get along in a way that suits the MOST people?

Answer 1

I'd move.

Answer 2

None of the Above. Fortunately for the US, your question is totally pointless. Only one will run as the Presidential nominee from the Democratic Party with a clear opponent as yet to be named from the Republican Party. There will be, in all likely hood, other 3rd party candidates that will make the ballots in several different states but will have little if any impact on the election.

Answer 3

Islam is the perfect be conscious of God. And it remains unchanged, so that's some distance much less annoying to understand. Christianity has had books faraway from the Bible and has had different adjustments from mistranslating for 2000 years. as a result there are various variations and that is impossible to get a on the instant answer.

Answer 4

Sad to say if they were my only two choices, I would vote for Hillary.

Wow, You actually found the only way I would vote for Hillary.

It is my belief that it is your duty to Vote, if I did not like, or fear, one of the two major candidates, I would vote for a third party.

Yet, with this choice, I have to say Hillary, since Obama scares me more then Hillary does. That is mainly because I believe I know what Hillary will do. Obama lacks experience and has made statements that if he said as president coul bring about WWIII.

Answer 5

Obama

Answer 6

Obama, even though Hillary has a lot more experience, it seem as if Obama actually has answers for this country whereas Hillary goes with whatever is seen as political correct at the time. I love the fact that Obama actually seems to care about helping our educational system. And I would stay in America..bye to all the people moving to Canada!

Answer 7

Senator Obama, based on his support of DC Statehood and his support of the WGA in the writers' strike. I think policy is more important than gender or race, or even character, and I'm a little surprised that so few other respondants are citing the candidates' policy platforms.

Answer 8

Obama. He has actually worked with poor people, knows that education and the betterment of educational opportunities in this country would cure a lot of what is wrong with this country, and believes that all of us should have access to quality health care. He also TAUGHT constitutional law at Harvard and thus has a great working knowledge of our Constitution. He's not in bed with big business. He has a solid family supporting him instead of a philandering husband who we should keep out of the White House at all costs. We need change, not just more of the same old politics.

Obama in '08.

Answer 9

They, along with all of the other candidates, are the representatives of the U.S. wealthy-elite. I no longer vote for the lesser-of-the-evils candidates. All that serves to do is to continue to promote the illusion of democracy and the fraud of our voting system. The overwhelming majority of Americans are working class people, yet the minority business-elite rule the nation inflicting their demands upon the rest of us. Some democracy.

If we truly want a democracy that represents the public, the first thing that we have to do is to stop participating in the ruling elites fraudulent election scheme.
