Well we know who your voting for.Personally I wish some one else would step up,because I don't like any of the current prospectives.

Just looking at some of these other answers...Wow! It really shocks and offends me that someone would choose to not vote for someone because there's SPECULATION about whether or not the candidate is Muslim. First of all, I have to recommend a simple search to find out the facts (there's a link below to help Mistletoe and anyone else who has a question about it). Secondly, what difference would it make if the candidate WERE Muslim? Most Muslims are peaceful, loving people...The ones we hear about on the news and call "bad guys" are fanatics, and this can happen with any religion. Just because a person follows a particular faith, it doesn't mean they're a religious radical. If this were true, we wouldn't be able to elect any Christians, due to the fact that a couple of radical Christians killed some doctors outside an abortion clinic. Seriously, people, please try to use your minds for what they're intended for!
Also, of all the candidates, I think Obama's agenda is the least hidden. He's very open about where he stands, on just about every issue, including (and perhaps most importantly) how his faith should and will effect how he does his job.
And I don't think he went out and asked Oprah for her backing...I think Oprah decided on her own who she's voting for, and will let everyone else decide who they should vote for.
At this point, I plan on voting for Obama. A significant reason behind this is that I don't want another Republican in office (sorry, but I don't trust 'em), and I see Hillary as another Republican in Democrat's clothing. Also, Hillary is not electable in the general election...it would be really sad to see her get the Democratic nomination, because I see this as a complete waste of votes.
I think our country needs change, and specifically, change for the right reasons. With that in mind, I think that Obama is the only candidate who can give us what we need.

I ask myself this everyday! I am still trying to decide. One minute I think I am certain and then I watch the news, read the paper, do some research and I'm lost again.
I think I need a lot more time (though it feels like voting is taking place tomorrow at the current campaign pace!).
Hopefully I'll know more come spring! Until then--confusion reigns supreme!

Mike Huckabee. There is too much speculation on wether or not Obama is or isn't muslim and that bothers me. I would not vote for a candidate that has a hidden agenda and I don't like the fact that Oprah puts in her two sense as if she is going to change the vote because she is a celebrity. .

Vote for Hillary. Not because she's a woman, not because she's white. Vote for Her because She is experienced, smart, She understands economics, She will get us out of Iraq, and She will make health coverage more affordable and available FOR EVERYONE. Also, She will help to combat global warming and pollution and HELP the immigrants, who benefit our economy. She is the only Democrat that has a chance to beat a republican. A vote for obama in the primary is a vote to handing the presidency to the republicans in '08.

as a response to something abfabmom..w/e said about hillary being a republican in democrat's clothing.. how about checking on where she stands on the issues that usually separate republicans from democrats. she is definitely all democrat. (just one of the many reasons not to vote for her)
Mike Huckabee is the best choice because of where he stands on major issues: a great conservative republican true to his values.
