Question

Who would you pick as the top 3 candidates from each party?

Answer 1

DEMS (I don’t fallow the Dems well enough)



1. Clinton- (I really hope she wins. She can be beat.

2.?

2.?



REPS



1.Mitt Romney- + Strong, Professional and plenty of experience. We will see a huge jump in our economy. Romney is good at fixing problems. Check out his background He would go buy struggling companies like Staples, Inc, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Brookstone, Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Guitar Center and The Sports Authority. And turn them around. Lets not forget about the 2002 Winter Olympics that was major struggling and he made it one of the best Olympics. -Neg Change of heart on abortion and to professional sometimes



2. Rudy Giuliani- +Talks from the heart. Was in charge of one of the baggiest cities in the world. - Not very conservative. Weak on immigration won’t mind if babies are killed.



3. Mike huckabee- +POS Strong Values -Neg Unrealistic on becoming pres, Raised taxes, as governor would make a great VP.



Sorry Ron Paul, someone that thinks we need to stay out of Iran’s business need’s to have a reality check on the world we live in (9/11 and no we did not ask for it). And Yes they will build a nuke and they will use it.

Answer 2

I voted for Ross Perot, he had the money to get in marketed. they does not enable him in the debates, so be offered an hour of time commercial unfastened. except a third social gathering can destroy the media, then there isn't any wish. I wont waste my vote to make a non heard assertion, the guy, or social gathering working has to do a powerful interest of having them self interest, so as that they're a minimum of a intense contender like Ross Perot did.

Answer 3

3. Barack Obama- He seems like a great guy and he's "likeable" but can he do the job? He's a fairly new guy to politics, which could be a good thing, but I think the Commander-In-Chief needs a little more experience. But then again, I would prefer Obama over H. Clinton.

Answer 4

Dem.

Obama

Clinton

Edwards



Rep.

Thompson

Guiliani

doesn't matter

Answer 5

democrats

Barack Obama

John edwards

Joe Biden



Republican

Rudy Guliani

Ron Paul

Mike Huckabee

Answer 6

Hillary is #1.

Biden and Obama are 2 + 3.



The Republicans are all a bunch of scary nut-jobs no better than Bush.

Answer 7

I personally choose Joe Biden because he supports health care, global warming and he plans to negotiate with Iran. Another candidate would be Hillary Clinton because she has the skills from her husband, Bill Clinton. She also supports withdrawing troops from Iraq. One bad thing would be some people do not like her because she is a woman and her health care plan is wack. Also, I would choose John Edwards because he backs up tough vehicle fuel efficiency. He wants to save energy and wants Americans to start buying fuel efficient vehicles.

Answer 8

Well, I don't even want to think about the three leaders in the Democratic party: Hillary, Obama and Edwards, but my top 3 in the Republican party are Thompson, Romney and Brownback. Brownback really has no chance though because he is too conservative for the moderates.

Answer 9

Considering both sides are the same, what difference does it make? Both sides will consider pre-emptive first strikes against Iran, both sides will consider repealing the 2nd Amendment, and both sides will spend like drunken sailors in turn torpedoing the dollar.



In my opinion there is only one reasonable candidate this election cycle. Ron Paul. www.ronpaul2008.com

4. Which 2008 Presidential Candidate Agrees With You?





VOTE TO KEEP AMERICA SAFE

Answer 11

Democratic Party



1. BILL RICHARDSON- Okay, we have four major issues going on within the USA right now. Immigration is one; Richardson is a border-state governor, he knows the problem and he has a solution. (People from Washington DO NOT know how to handle the situation and a fence will NOT solve it); Second is the Iraq War- Richardson wants us OUT, as do I, and a lot more of the American public. The third issue is global warming; his plan is the best, and has been praised by the Sierra Club, his plan isn't simple...it will be a challenge, but we must change. The fourth problem is our economy, he wants fical responsibility. Richardson is the only candidate who IS NOT from Washington. Sadly, the top tier candidates have NEVER ran a state or city. Richardson has experience! Richardson calls for change! He might not be at the top of the charts, but if you look at his resume and his aspirations when he's president, you'll see why he's swaying people over...



2. Hillary Clinton - She does have some good points but she's a Washington-insider, so of course her debates will be good. The only advantage she has is she has been in the white house before and she knows how things run. The bad thing, though, is she accepts lobbyist money! If America wants change, why would they vote for Clinton? Clinton wants to continue this war, and that's where we are different.



3. Barack Obama- He seems like a great guy and he's "likeable" but can he do the job? He's a fairly new guy to politics, which could be a good thing, but I think the Commander-In-Chief needs a little more experience. But then again, I would prefer Obama over H. Clinton.



Republican Party-

1. Giuliani- He seems like a great guy and I think if he were to win the nomination, a lot of Democrats would for him.

Take for Example:

Giuliani VS. Clinton

I would vote for Giuliani. He isn't too "Republican" which would definitely help him to win Democratic/Independent votes. He supports gays, which is crucial, and is something that affects my vote.



2. Ron Paul- He's anti-war and he firmly speaks of what he believes in. I watched a debate and just to hear the Boos he gets makes me angry. Paul has a right to his opinion and belief; we SHOULD NOT be in this War, and I think this entire War issue will cost Republicans the white house.



3. John McCain- McCain is from a border state which is a plus for the immigration issue. He doesn't really seem to distinguish himself, though.



Good Luck, Richardson

Answer 12

The next president is going to have to put out fires all over the place - Iraq and the deficit being the two things that immediately come to mind. I know it's an old meme, but the ideal would be to have someone who both has experience and a proven ability to get things done. Absent that, it couldn't hurt to have a fresh face, but right now, I would take experience and knowledge over "change for the sake of change."





DEMOCRATS

1) JOE BIDEN - Far and away the most knowledgable and straightforward of the candidates. Has respect on both sides of the aisle, which is going to be critical if the next president wants anything to pass the Senate. Also has the only well-thought out plan to get the troops out of Iraq.

2) Barack Obama - Fresh face would help repair our image around the world. He would need on-the-job training, though, since he's had virtually zero foreign policy experience.

3) Chris Dodd - Kind of a "Biden light" in terms of experience and straightforwardness. But he lacks breadth in legislative accomplishments, which indicates that he isn't as good at getting 'er done.



Republicans

1) John McCain: He's running to the right now for the primary, but like Biden, he has respect on both sides of the aisle - maybe the only GOPer who can say so.

2) Mike Huckabee: Same advantage as Obama - if it's not McCain, they need a fresh face. Huckabee would come into town without any detractors.

3) Fred Thompson: I don't actually think this. I just like Law & Order.

Answer 13

I'm a blue blood, but Biden is the only one I would eally be excited about. I think he is the only candidate capable of leading and uniting at the same time. Has the best understanding and position on Foreign policy, Immigation, Crime, Education, and Health Care. He is by far my #1.

If the election came down to any democratic candidate and any republican candidate, the only republican that would win my vote would be Ron Paul, and I would give him a shot over some dems.



1) Biden

2) Dodd

3) Clinton



1) Paul

2) Guliani - only cause I'm and bridge and tunnel NYer.

3)



The candidate selector was interesting, It picked Kucinitch for me and while I like his view on many of the issues, I think he's too passionate and not centered. He needs to find places for compromise. Biden was my #2

Answer 14

Democrats :



1.) CLINTON - She has the most meaningful experience ( as a 2-term senator and a former first lady for 8 years ) She also is the most presidentiable. Downside is her ambivalence on some issues resulting from overly cautious attitude.



2.) BIDEN - the smartest and most qualified. Unfortunately, a president does not only have to be the smartest and most qualified. He/she should also be very popular, so he/she can lead effectively.



3.) OBAMA - used to be my number 1, until his weird and very amateurish statements showed too much of his inexperience - the last one was when he claimed he will be good in his foreign policy, because of his experiences living in Indonesia for 4 years when he was 10 years old.



Would you vote for a candidate who's foreign policy experience/qualification rest on childhood experience?



God save America if OBAMA becomes the president.





Republicans :



1.) HUCKABEE - a true symbol of what a Republican president ought to be. Has the Likeability factor.



2.) McCAIN - Most qualified, but too old.



3.) GIULIANI - Most popular, but fails on trustworthiness, honesty, and adherence to republican values.

Answer 15

Republicans: Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Rudy Guiliani



Democrats: John Edwards, Barrack Obama, Bill Richardson

Answer 16

Background: I'd consider myself independent because I have strong convictions about many issues, and neither party champions my stance on all issues. Much of the time, I dislike having to choose between the two presidential nominees because I feel neither are very in touch with "average" Americans and they've been cast into this media hyped battle that has less to do with what's best for America and more to do with what's the most strategic way to "win" an election. Even a slight shift in semantics (spin) could help shape what this really should be- presidential nominees striving to "earn" the election.



You can probably already tell that I'm not a big fan of the so called front runners in either party...



Guliani, though he seems to have handled 9/11 very admirably, is not presidential material in my book. The platform that has catapulted him not only as a major contender in this "race" to "win" - but as the front runner, is that of fear. He is the one who gets the support of all the people who have not yet woken up to how corrupt and inefficient the current administration is and how it will only be more of the same if he "wins". Anyone who has to consistently invoke 9/11- as if it is the just about the *only* factor in this election is not well balanced and does not convey confidence in his ability to successfully handle *every other* issue on the table.



Hillary - well. I don't really trust her. Bill was a very good president "from the neck up"- as a former long time friend turned major critic, Dick Morris (who by the way was caught in his own sex scandal before Bill's and resigned at that point), points out . But she epitomizes what I dislike about politcs. I'll pass on her, thanks.



My preferences in order:



1)Barack Obama. Still has some of that 'politician' slickness about him but without the sleeze. He admits to being in the same "murkey waters" as the rest, but I believe he is genuine. He has character, poise and good judgment. He's the one candidate who I can see hanging out with. And I'm not mentioning that because of his whole "rock star" persona- I'm mentioning it because when you want true bipartisanship to move the country forward, you need someone who is not above others- not divisive. In the international arena, I feel his personality (matched of course by his other redeeming qualities) would really make a positive impression on those nations with which dimplomacy is shakey, or non-existent. There's a lot more I could say about him...



2)Ron Paul. The guy is straightforward, cut and dried about *everything*. I don't agree with him on every issue,but I do on some important ones to me. Sure, he was a bit of a loose cannon when he ran as a Libertarian in 1988- but he totally slays the other Repulicans in the debates. He has definitely worked toward "earning" the presidency and not merely "winning" it.



3)John Edwards. He's got a lot of that slick politician in him, but he's not afraid to admit his mistakes and move on. He's not afraid to be very direct about Hillary's shortcomings. Plus, realistically I think that he's got the best shot at the nomination besides Hillary. If he gets it, then it would be a good (political as well as genuinely beneficial) move to bring Obama on his ticket as V.P.



If I had to pick another Republican, it'd be McCain. I believe he could handle whatever the world throws at him.

Answer 17

Democrats

1.Joe Biden

2.Hillary Clinton

3.Barack Obama

Republicans

1.Ron Paul

2.--------

3.--------

Biden is genius and experienced. I wish he was a front runner. Clinton knows how to run a country from experience. I would love to have a woman president like her. Having Hillary would take the U.S. out of the stone age, even manly German has a woman chancellor (president) and Muslim Pakistan had a woman Prime Minister (president).Obama is inexperienced but not corrupted by politics( good thing). Obama would be the biggest change. Also Obama lived out of the country, has a father from a different country, which makes a person a lot more open minded. Which would help with foreign policy.

Answer 18

1. Mitt Romney: he has the whole package, socially and fiscally conservative, has raised a ton of money, and is a very exciting and engaging speaker. He is the best qualified candidate for the job based on his experience running large and small companies, the Olympics, and his ability to get things done in Massachusetts as a republican in a democratic state. He is also the only top tier candidate to only be married once and has extremely strong morals and a wonderful family.



2. Duncan Hunter: extremely knowledgeable about defense, American values and is for fair trade and tougher immigration laws. He is also from a military family and his son is serving in Iraq right now. He is a strong candidate across the board.



3. Tom Tancredo: aside from his obviously strong stand on illegal immigration, he also has a good understanding of American values and is very fiscally conservative.

Answer 19

Democrats: Obama, Edwards, Biden /

Republicans: McCain, Giuliani, Paul



Consider this:



(CBS) Sunday Morning commentator Nancy Giles says that the Clintons and Bushes have been in power long enough.



Hillary Clinton. She's a two-term Senator from New York, with eight additional years of presidential dress rehearsals to boot. Her husband, Bill, was president, now she wants to be president. We're talking big egos here. So what's the real story? Are the Clintons feisty competitors like the gun-slinging Annie Oakley and Frank Butler in "Annie Get Your Gun?" Or do they get charged by outdoing each other like Ann-Margret and Elvis in "Viva Las Vegas?" Or is Hillary's run for commander-in-chief the biggest apology by an unfaithful husband in the history of American politics?



Can you imagine dinner conversation at the Clintons?



"Well, Bill, you were leader of the free world, and that was good, and now it's my turn to be leader of the free world."



"Okay, Hill. I owe you. Let me give you a few pointers."



But wait. The Clintons had a President in the family. They had their turn. And look what's happening with that other family that's hogging the White House, and all the messy father/son dynamics that are in the mix. Saddam was mean to his daddy years ago? George W's gonna git 'em, even if it means going to war with the wrong country! Dad's old team has some advice? George W. ignores 'em, 'cause he's his own man. It's a little bit "Dallas" with a sprinkling of Tennessee Williams' "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," but as this psychodrama plays out, who suffers?



Only the entire free world!



There have been fathers and sons and husbands and wives who've done good: John Adams — father — and John Quincy Adams — son — didn't do too badly as presidents; Nobel-prize winning scientists Pierre and Marie Curie were married and still managed to unlock the mysteries of radium and polonium; and we can only imagine what Posh and Becks will achieve.



Look, powerful people can be as nutty as the rest of us…and we live in a democracy where all of our voices should be heard.



Isn't it time to maybe shake up the political establishment and bring someone new to a table that's been monopolized by the same two families for the last 20 years?

Hilary is a DIVIDER....

We need to be UNITED...



No more Bushes..

No more Clintons...



Time for a NEW era in America...

One of true hope!

Answer 20

Just to start off, I don't align myself with any party in particular



Dems

1. Obama - He's shown he has good values and has the ability to unite people - look at how vocal his support is.

2. Edwards - He's had a deal of experience with politics and doesn't have crazy-psycho issues like Hillary

3. Pretty much anyone that's not Hillary



Republicans

1. McCain - My personal favored candidate, even if his odds of winning don't seem too high. From the beginning of the war in Iraq he's been saying send more soldiers; we finally did, and since they got there the number of attacks in the country has dropped 55% (Yahoo News has an article about it). He's also respectable, sensible, moral, and has guts. Anyone that thinks he can't do it because he's 71 and doesn't have the energy should remember that most people at any age don't have it in them to survive a Vietnam prison camp

2. Giuliani - Definitely able to get things done. He cracked down hard on crime in NYC and was able to effectively handle one of the worst disasters our nation has had to deal with

3. ----------- (Not Ron Paul, laissez-faire is not and never will be a viable policy)

Answer 21

Democratic Party:

Richardson

Biden

Kucinich



Republican Party

Paul

McCain

Huckabee



The only reason why the "top-tier" candidates are named that, is because the media wants it to be that way. They love to make stories about Hillary since she's a woman and a Clinton; Barak because he is black and young; Edwards because he was the VP for Kerry; Giuliani "America's Mayor"; Romney the Mormon; and Fred the Actor.



When we get to actual political discussions I think these six that I listed are clearly the top of these two parties.

Answer 22

Democrat



1. Joe Biden

2. John Edwards

3. Hillary Clinton



Republican



1. McCain

2. Romney

3. Huckabee

Answer 23

Dems



1. Joe Biden

2.Barack Obama

3. Hillary Clinton



Reps.



1. John McCain

2. Rudy Giuliani

3. Fred Thompson

Answer 24

My top picks:



Republican

1. Ron Paul

2. John McCain

3. Rudy Giuliani



Democrat

1. Joe Biden

2. Barack Obama

3. Hilary Clinton



As far as I'm concerned, it's between my number three choices, and their only strong points are their electability. Also in the interest of honesty, I'd never vote for anybody in the Republican list either, with the exception of Ron Paul if he could actually win, if he took the Republican nomination I'd vote for him, but that won't ever happen.



Also I should add that I would vote for anybody running today, if they were running against GWB. So in a sense I see a lot of good choices or at least a lot of room for improvement.

Answer 25

Dems

1. Obama

2. Kucinich

3. Edwards



Repubs

1. Paul

2. McCain

3. Giuliani

Answer 26

Republican -

1) Ron Paul - He is more anti-war than any of the decmocrats, and his ideas are so fresh... he would compete strongly in the general election and lead a great presidency.



Democrat -

1)Edwards - He is the only candidate that I believe really cares about issues concerning poverty, war on AIDS, and helping the under-priveldged.

Answer 27

Ron Paul in republicans

Dennis Kucinich among democrats



both are for returning to adherence to the constitution...especially when it comes to going to war (CONGRESS MUST DECLARE WAR ! president cannot just do it on his own !)



in addition, the government should not pay interest to private central banks (fed reserve is unconstitutional) to create money out of nothing....they should print money directly without paying interest and with strict control of amount of money to avoid devaluing the dollar....



there is a big drop off after these two candidates....republicans have pretty much no one...and democrats have edwards and gravel



all the mainstream media selected puppets (clinton, giuliani, ...) are just puppets for the banks and for zionist lobby of israel

Answer 28

If I had my dithers, Obama would be my choice for President; And McCain would be the best if I had to hold my nose and vote Republican. But if you want my assessment of which 3 will actually RUN the strongest:



Dems:



1. Clinton (Will be the eventual nominee)

2. Obama

3. Edwards (Though I think Joe Biden and Bill Richardson have both shown much more promise; Edwards will stay in the race until March due to name recognition)



Republicans:



CO #1. Romney - Giuliani (At this point; I have too much doubt about Giuliani's strategy of writing off all the early states/Combined with Romney's consistent lead in them to predict a nominee yet)

2. Huckabee (With this race as fluid as it is right now; And Huckabee's general wholesomeness combined with his sudden emergence in Iowa, There is an outside chance Huckabee could make major shockwaves)

3. McCain



In spite of the admirable financial support of his zealot supporters, Ron Paul has no real chance to win the Republican nomination - I continue to believe he is positioning himself for a 3rd party (likely libertarian) run. Other potentially impactful 3rd party candidates include NYC Mayor Bloomberg (endlessly flirting with the idea) and CNN's Lou Dobbs (for whom the idea of taking his anti-immigration, anti-trade, anti-Washington show on the road suddenly seems to be taking shape)...

Answer 29

Dems

1.Hillary Clinton

2. John Edwards

3. Barack Obama



Rep

1. Rudy Guilliani

2. Mitt Romney

3. Fred Thompson

Answer 30

Dems

1.Hillary Clinton

2. John Edwards

3. Barack Obama



Rep

1. Rudy Guilliani

2. John McCain

3. Ron Paul



I think Hillary has pretty much already won.

I would love it if Ron Paul won, he is just what the country needs. He would probably make some great changes, for the better I think. Drastic change, humans by nature are against change especially when it comes to government it seems but that is how this country started. 200+ years ago we "turned the world upside down." It was a good thing. We need that again. Freedom from oppressive government, turn the world around.

But the country rarely gets what it needs.

It'll get Clinton again for 8 yrs. then how about another Bush!





Ron Paul 2008

Answer 31

Dems: (1) Joe Biden, he has impressed me both debates more than any other candidate. Go Joe!

(2) Hillary, Joe and Hilary would be my dream team

(3) Obama, although he seems to be falling into the "she said, she said" trap.

Republicans: no thank you across the board

Answer 32

Who we like or who is in first place in polls? If its who we I like for republicans it would be RON PAUL, Tom Tancredo, Mike huckabee. for Dems: Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich Chris Dodd But as you noticed all the candidates together that I chose equals very small % of the vote

Answer 33

Caveat: I'm a Democrat who believes that the last six years of (mostly) Republican rule have severely damaged this country.



Democrats

1. Clinton: Sheer thoughtful energy, and note the emphasis on fiscal responsibility and how one should examine issues in relationship to other issues. If you want to know how she'd run the country, look at how she's running her campaign. Also, read up on what Lincoln was like before he ran for President and what was said about him as he was running.



2. Richardson: He's had a successful career nationally and in statewide office.



3. Biden: A Knowledgeable, nimble-minded senator who would need an organizational wonk as top assistant.



Other: Kucinich should be listened to, but I doubt he can bring factions together.



Republicans:



1. Paul: Close to what independent-minded Republicans used to be.



2. Huckabee: Competent administrator. Will need, if elected, to have somebody help him realize that science follows where the facts lead, something U.S. society will ignore at its peril.



3. Romney: A capable administrator who can work with factions. He's adaptable, but I suspect he is switching his colors to serve his ambitions. Neither Paul or Huckabee have done this.



Other: McCain is to be respected despite his crotchets, but I doubt he will have the requisite energy.



A note on Guiliani: Would you want him a husband or brother-in-law?

Answer 34

Dem:

Hillary Clinton

Barack Obama

Bill Richardson

I like Richardson over Edwards because even though Edwards is a good guy I think his run is more for glamer. Obama is a great dude but he has no strategy. Clinton just by her campain will win. she just has a really great plan.



Republicans:



Rudy Giuliani

Mitt Romney

John McCain



Romney is the leader in most of the primarys and usually that means he going to win. However Rudy I think can pull out a win if he plans his moves. which means he has to get in touch with more hard core reps. Mccain is better than the others but he has destoryed his campain way to much.



Ron Paul is the anchary candidate and that is why he is getting so much support. Many people want a radical change because of what we have been through for the last 70 years or so. I personlly hate Ron Paul because his ideas are that radical. if we are going to change this country it has to be gradual, not jump from the exstream controling government to exstream do what ever you want government.

Answer 35

Republicans

1 Mitt Romney awesome! Lots of good family values excellnt character. Republican! Winter Olympics 02'!

2 Rudy Republican handles stress easily as seen in 9/11

3McCain. Republican...!



I do not want a democrat at all

Answer 36

Democrats are #1 = Clinton, #2=Dodd, #3 = Edwards

Republicans are #1 = Romney, #2 = McCain, #3 = Undecided

Answer 37

I would pick the top three candidates as being in this order.



1. Rudy Giuliani

2. Fred Thompson

3. Mit Romney



I'm not listing democrat candidates because there aren't any worth mentioning.

Answer 38

1) Barack Obama

2) John Edwards

3) Joe Biden



1) Mike Huckabee

2) John McCain

3) Ron Paul

Answer 39

Rudy Giuliani

Mitt Romney

Hillary Clinton

Answer 40

Republicans:

1. John McCain

2. Ron Paul would be here if he wasn't such an isolationist.

3. Huckabee - I liked him until I started hearing about his potential ethics violations as governor



Romney is a flip flopper, Giuliani is more arrogant than Dubya, and I'm apathetic on Thompson.



Democrats:

1. Bill Richardson - extensive experience in energy and diplomacy. I'll be voting for this man.

2. Joe Biden - lately seems to show more interest in uniting the country than even Obama

3. Either Kucinich or Obama. Both seem qualified for different reasons.



I don't know who in their right mind would vote for a manipulative, power-hungry beast like Hillary, but I'd take anybody from either party over her.

Answer 41

For the Democrats I like Bill Richardson as my absolute top choice. Barak Obama is next with Hillary in last place. I just don't like her nor her politics.



For the Republican's I like John McCain best - hate his war mongering but like him in many other ways. Next is Huckaby then nobody.



Basically I think this Global War on Terror is driving the issues. It was poorly thought out, poorly implemented, and we should bag it and come home and restore our country to it's place in the word by returning to our basic roots. I have a very difficult time supporting anyone who supports this stupid war.

Answer 43

If you support socialism pick any of the Demos.. If you favor facism pick any of the Repos WITH THE EXCEPTION of RON PAUL. If you are against Ron Paul you are against the Constitution. Please visit ronpaul2008 for all the reasons why this man is our only hope for the future of this nation.

3) No Hillaryious animals.



Please research the North American Union, the Security Prosperity Partnership (the "SPP") and the Amero.



Ron Paul may very well be our last chance to save the republic.

Answer 46

Republicans

1. Ron Paul - the only candidate in EITHER party I would vote for - that the mainstream media STILL tries to ignore him is crime #1

2a. McCain

2b. Hunter



McCain and Hunter, though I don't agree with many of their stands, at least come across as worthy of respect - the rest are just flim-flam artists



Democrats

1. Bill Richardson - the only Democrat even worth talking about, as opposed to Frick and Frack (you know who I mean) - that the media also relatively ignores him is crime #2

2. Kucinich

3. Gravel



Kucinich and Gravel only because they have a modicum more integrity than the others



A Paul / Richardson race would provide us with reasoned, intellegent debates about the direction of our country, unfortunately most of the mainstream media is hell-bent on pushing a Clinton / Giuliani race not because they believe they're the best candidates, but because they think such a race will provide the best RATINGS - absolutely shameful

Answer 47

Still undecided, but it will definitely be one of the Republican candidates... I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if she was the ONLY candidate!!!!

Answer 48

Hillary Clinton. Why? it is about time America goes back to be the greatest nation. We need a president to focus on inside US, moreover, be very detail oriented, with strong believes that so "crooked system" can be changed starting with the welfare. Women are much more detail oriented and Hillary can do it. She stands tall and graciously even in times of betrayals.

There's not really a nonpartisan way to arrange the lists is there? I'll try anyway.



First Choice -

Democrat: Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

She has both experience and tenacity. The experience she has it not merely her own, but many of the seasoned advisers and appointees of her husband's presidency. Her namesake, while inducing heartburn in red states, will invoke memories of a time when the US was much more well respected around the world.



Republican: Senator John Sydney McCain III

He is a consummate patriot in the age of consummate politicians. He has integrity that is matched by few, and has never been afraid to stand alone in his beliefs if he truly believed they were best. He's also the best fiscal conservative option, and would be willing to burn political capital to use the Oval Office as a bully pulpit against wasteful spenders. A plurality of polls show him the most likely to win in the general election.



Second Choice -

Republican: Mitt Romney

I'll be the first to confess that he's "the flipper and not the Gipper." That said, he understands the importance of his advisers. A President without experience, integrity, and good judgment is doomed to fail, but even the best and brightest [wo]man would be helpless in the White House without a varied and capable set of advisers. It is far to easy to establish a cloistered group of trusted advisers that may not provide broad and realistic analysis of options. I admire his success in business, but note that Massachusetts economy sputtered under his stewardship. Still, I think he's more presidential in his mannerisms than many of the other candidates, who either seem too soft or too abrasive to repair America's image around the world without compromising its positions.



Democrats: Governor Bill Richardson

He has been a tremendous public servant and has traveled to negotiate on behalf of hostages and to resolve other tensions. He has worked in State and Energy, Congress, a Governor and as Ambassador to the UN. This should all have helped prepare him to be President. His tenure in New Mexico means he should have an intimate understanding of the illegal immigration issue, which seems to be one of the most important issues for Americans right now.



Third Choice -

Republican: Congressman Ron Paul

Why not? Ron Paul's platform would be disastrous if implemented, but the future of our nation might be disastrous if we don't keep many of his points in mind when moving forward. I suspect Congress could keep him in check and would be overriding a lot of vetoes. That would force the mainstream Republicans and Democrats to have to learn once again how to play nice with each other from time to time.



Democrats: Senator Joe Biden

He has a ton of experience in foreign affairs. I, personally, am skeptical of his plan for Iraq because it reminds me too much of the partition of India, but I respect his experience in the field and his willingness to provide more than sound bytes for answers. He alone, with John McCain on the other side, carries off the image of being an elder statesman--something that might be helpful when addressing the world.

Answer 68

The only person that I like that is running is Ron Paul. I'm not even a Republican either. He has strong convictions about what he believes and speaks his mind, even if it is against the grain of his party right now. He has been in congress for over 10 terms so he knows the ins and outs of politics. He is a Dr, so he actually has some brains in his head, unlike some people whom I won't name. He is CONSISTENT, check his track record even back to when he ran as an Independent, back in 1988. The things that he says now are the same things he said then. He wants to bring our troops home from overseas, because he believes that you can't help reform another country when we have so many problems going on in our own back yards. He wants to reform social security, so maybe someday I can retire. He wants to bring our deficit back to being a surplus. Etc etc etc. Shall I go on??



Vote Ron Paul in 2008 if you want change. This is probably the most important presidential election that will ever be held, in my lifetime. Make your vote count.

It is my belief that Mike Gravel is the up and comeing favorite to win, the Presidency. He is a former 2 time Senator from Alaska. Who, exposed Daniel Elsberg's Pentagon Papers of watergate fame. During the Watergate break in the Nixon era. He's a very compelling man who has exposed the trangressions of what is wrong with the present government, that needs correction.

The following is a webpage that provides access to his campaign. At present the number of hits his champaign has gone from, 5.82 million to 6.090 million hits in about 3 days. The comments section, of his campaign have applauded his future visions, for the Country

Why not Ron Paul?



Does America have a future? At this point, there is nothing more important than pulling our troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and everywhere. Unfortunately we don't have a lot of choices here. You want Rudy Giuliani, who dressed up as a woman and marched in the gay pride parade, and who has been profiteering off 9/11, or you want Hillary, who strongly supported the genocidal sanctions against Iraqi children while she was First Lady? Both of them have promised AIPAC to bomb Iran. Also, Obama is influenced by AIPAC. Cynthia McKinney might run as a Green, but her chances of winning are slim because the Green Party has no money and has very few active volunteers. Ron Paul actually has a fighting chance to stop the wars because he has a strong base of support among the Young Republicans who are very enthusiastic, friendly, and remarkably sane. He wins every debate because he makes a "self-interest" argument for ending the wars which works with Americans. Even Jay Leno respected him.



Ron Paul is a Constitutionalist and a non-interventionist. Everybody disagrees with him about something. The leftists hate him because he's anti-abortion. But again, we have to put aside our personal opinions and stop the war immediately or lose our democracy. We only have one chance. The only thing that can unite Americans is the Constitution (as flawed a document as it is - but it's better than the lawlessness of Bush). Not a single Jewish organization supports Ron Paul for president.



Ron Paul approaches the Constitution almost like an Islamic jurist. He did not say he didn't think universal health care might be a good idea. He said it's not in the Constitution that the US government has the role of providing health care. If you want to do it, then you have to amend the Constitution. If you allow Congress to do things that the Constitution doesn't allow, then we no longer have a constitutional democracy. They can declare war without an act of Congress, they can cancel your currency value, they can put you in jail without evidence, etc.



I have never come across him saying anything racist. He did say, "I certainly join my colleagues in urging Americans to celebrate the progress this country has made in race relations. However, contrary to the claims of the supporters of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the sponsors of H.Res. 676, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 did not improve race relations or enhance freedom. Instead, the forced integration dictated by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 increased racial tensions while diminishing individual liberty."



That is certainly true. Boston's bizarre busing system destroyed neighborhoods which had closely knit communities that worked together on a local level to organize social programs like Boy Scouts, now we have a welfare state where you have to enter a lottery to get your kids into a decent school, and they waste a lot of gas busing kids across town when there is a school walking distance from their house. Nobody attends Boy Scouts anymore, and neighborhood crime is rampant. The situation for blacks and whites has worsened since the 1960s because our economy is going down the drain due to our foreign policy. He has a rational argument for his views.



The current drug policy in the United States is completely irrational. The CIA invades a country, forces them to grow drugs, then the CIA brings it into the country and sells it to the police, who then sell it to the drug mafia, and then we spend billions of dollars putting people in jail for non-violent crimes. By decriminalizing drugs, and dismantling the CIA, as Paul proposes, you will have far fewer social problems created by criminal mafias and gangs because something like cocaine would no longer be profitable. And our tax money would no longer pay for these drug wars. That was also the approach in the early days of Islam. Because there was nothing specifically in the Quran outlawing any plant, there was no criminal offense for hashish, qat, or opium, and often they were prescribed by doctors as medicines. Avincenna talks a lot about the medieval Muslim uses of what we now consider to be "illegal" drugs. The drug wars have cost US taxpayers billions of dollars and have not improved anything. So it's useful to look at how America used to deal with these issues. Did you know that George Washington grew marijuana on the White House lawn? Farmers used to pay their taxes with hemp. The laws changed in the 1940s due to pressure from special interest groups. The herbicide (genocide of plant species) led to great dust storms, the ruination of farmers, and the Great Depression.



I am aware of "states rights" connection with the American history of slavery, however in this day and age, states rights gives you protection from Bush. And it also protects people. Because as long as, for example, gay marriage is a states issue, then every state can decide if it does or doesn't want to have gay marriage. If you gave the Feds the authority to make that decision, a special interest lobby could convince the federal government to legalize or outlaw gay marriage for the entire country. So there are pros and cons to Ron Paul's positions.



Affirmative action has not succeeded in addressing inequalities in society. What most average black and white people want is more money to live. Ron Paul would decrease the individual burden on average people to sustain an empire with their taxes and we'd have less poverty. Dr. Paul is a moral person so I'm sure that minorities could work with him to end poverty in ways that conform to the Constitution. In Roxbury here, the black community has been having a lot of meetings to figure out what to do because even though they succeeded in getting federal funding for all kinds of stuff, the crime in the neighborhood is just getting worse and worse. So, the socialist approach isn't working and Ron Paul's approach - locally based government, is what the black community is doing anyway, out of necessity. The #1 concern for black youth right now is not wanting to get killed in Iraq. Paul has a young black following.



Bottom line, we have to stop the war. Ron Paul is approachable. He is neither a criminal nor insane. As long as you can make an argument from the point of view of the Constitution you can get by. Sort of like when you are dealing with the Taliban, you have to make your argument based on Quran/Hadith and they will listen.



About immigration, I think it's a non-issue for those who immigrated here legally. I suspect that the anti-Mexican rhetoric is playing to popular sentiment, yet with his "small government" proposal, we'd have less of a police state working night and day to bust into the homes of the Mexicans, so they still might be better off with Ron Paul, and also, fewer Mexicans would join the US military and kill Muslims in order to get a green card, if there was no war. Ideally, the US should have a less predatorial relationship with Mexico so that their country would not be so impoverished that their young people would all have to leave home.



Some people feel that they don't want to support Ron Paul because they disagree with this or that. However, what we have right now is Bush and a government that has descended into lawlessness. In fact, the US is bankrupt. So either we give in to complete tyranny, or we stick to the Constitution. I don't see any other choice. There is no other candidate who has indicated willingness to uphold the Constitution when it comes to declaring wars, detainee rights, and our personal freedoms.
