I am still waiting to make my decision. The character of each candidate and their records are still not clear enough to me. I have found some things about each that I like and dislike, both Republican and Democrat.
In the Republican race, I like Romney and McCain, less interested in the evangelism of Huckabee, but would like to know more about some of the other candidates.
In the Democratic race, I like Edwards and Clinton. But I will likely vote Republican, so that may not matter. While I like some things about Obama, he just seems too unprepared to be the leader of this great nation. That, however, will likely change by the next election.

The Republican party has had a top tier selection of candidates for quite a few months now. The problem with the current top three is that they all have signifigant problems with the conservative base. Rudy has been way too liberal on social issues such as gun control and abortion. Romney has flipped on several issues and comes across as a little too polished. Fred Thompson has a good record but cannot seem to look enthusiastic and is avoiding many interview opportunities. This leaves the Republican party desperate for someone to get behind and really feel good about.
After watching the debates and the interviews that the candidates have participated in, it is becoming clear the Gov. Mike Huckabee is the right candidate for the Reublican Party. His record is 100% conservative over his entire career. He has had no "flip-flop" issues and stands very firm on his principles. One of the traits Huckabee has is his ability to speak like a normal human being. He does not have the consistent flow of typical political talking points that we all love so much. Hucakbee actually understands his position and knows how to articulate them.
Gov. Huckabee is right on the money with the issues that Republicans feel the strongest about. He is very strong on defense, fiscal conservative, pro-life, pro-gun rights, anti gay marriage, and strong on faith. One of the most important issues that Huckabee has presented is the idea of the Fair Tax. This plan alone should be enough to put him in the top tier of the party. The Fair Tax is the best tax reform plan ever presented. I suggest anyone reading this to read Huckabee's website and go through the Fair Tax plan details.

Ron Paul for sure. He's the only one who understands how to prevent trouble, especially economic. And knows the importance of individual freedoms to let the country prosper.

You know what's funny, people get asked who the most honest candidate, they say someone like Obama or something. Then they get asked, who are you going to vote for? Hillary. People, explain this to me, if someones not honest, who's to say they would do anything of what they say they would do?
