I know there are a lot of these questions being posted, but most of the answers I see are negative, and point only to why someone is a lesser evil than another.
I'd really like to hear positive input on why you're choosing the candidate that you're choosing...Not the reasons why you're not choosing someone else.
What policies does your chosen candidate have, that you agree with?

I feel that it's going to be a toss up between Hillary and Obama. Why? They both have great ideas on how to help the people of the USA. I also feel they both made good arguments when it came to the debate and stressed what changes they will be making. It's time for a change a GOOD change. We need someone who is there for US not themselves or for the "rich". We need a break and it's up to us to make that change. I also agree that we never should have started a war in another country and voting for it was a BIG mistake for us as a country and for all of the families who don't have a loved one coming back from a senseless war. We need someone with their head on right to make the best decisions for our country. Again, it will be between Hillary and Obama. If it's one or the other one of them could be the VP for the other. It's a win win. It's your LIFE, so PLEASE VOTE! 2008

Mike Hucabee is the best. One reason I like him is because he is a christian. I know people say you shouldn't vote for people because of their religious views but I think we need a christian and thats one reason I am going to vote for him I really do not care what other people say that it is my opinion. One more reason I am going to vote for him is because I'm from Arkansas and he is from Arkansas and he was a great Governor. Yes, he did some mistakes but everybody does mistakes because we are human there is not one canidate who has not made a mistake in life. Another reason is since he was governor for 10 years he has the experience of running a state and he ran it very good except for a couple of mistakes but like I said before we are all human. I think if he can run a good state like he did then he could run a country and do it even better.
Them are some of the reasons I will be voting for Mike Huckabee.

Paul - Wants to protect constitutional rights
Romney - Wants to stop illegal immigration

America doesn't have a choice. Rudy Giuliani must be our nation's next president. The other candidates are running to satisfy their own ego, much like our current president did (and we know how well that's gone). Giuliani is running because he truly wants to see this country succeed and stay safe from the terrorist threats that plague this world. As my city's mayor he turned Manhattan from a garbage dump, created by his predecessors, to a respectable money making tourist attraction. He turned the west end of 42nd street from a haven of pornography and drug dealers into a mecca of stores and theaters which brought in revenue and created jobs from large companies like Disney. During his 2 terms as mayor, New York City's crime level fell to all time lows due to his fierce stance on crime. As an NYC resident I saw the city's skyline burning firsthand on 9/11 and no U.S. city should ever have that scene repeated again. In my opinion no other candidate has the leadership qualities and crime fighting experience he possesses. It's time for strength and stability. It's time for Rudolph Giuliani.

Im not sure if I have a favorite, but I definitely HATE Hillary Clinton and it's not because she's a woman (I love women).
I do not like Hilary because she wants to take away our freedom and the worst part is a majority of people have no clue. =(
If there was a woman who believed in capitalism I would love for her to be in office. And for all those who don't know what capitalism is, it's the reason why we're all able to afford computers. Hilary is for Socialism, she wants to take our money, via taxes, and redistribute it amongst everyone.
For all of you who don't think Hilary is a Socialist:
- She wants free healthcare
- She wants to give each new born baby $5,000...
... Redistrubution of wealth.
So if you want to give me thumbs down, so be it. Im for freedom and you obviously are not.

Dr. Ron Paul is my favorite candidate. Well, he has a lot policies that I agree with. One, is his policy on education he supports putting the control back into hands of parents where it should be. To be able to choose where you children go to school and actually be able to afford it with tax credits. Secondly, He supports a strong immigration policy which is something that needs much attention as we as a nation are experiencing massive growing pains due to over-population thanks to our illegal immigrants. I could go on-and-on but I suggest you go to his website and read about where he stands and decide for yourself.

I could go on and on about how all the Democrats, and many of the Republicans are wrong on so may issues. But you are right, that wasn't the question. . .
So I have to say that Mike Huckabee and Fred Thompson are my favorites.
