So Barak Obama (D) won the Iowa Caucus and
so did Mike Huckabee (R). Who are your
candidates and why?

Mine is Obama. He's the only one I want to
vote for at this point. As a resident of
NY I cannot and will not vote for Guliani!

There are no candidates worthy of my vote.

Why?
I have no idea who I'm going to vote for
at this point.

Ron Paul supports economic oppurtunity. I
want to vote.

I don't approve of hardly anything
Guiliani is for, but Obama I can agree
with. I've also listened to Obama speak,
and the greatest thing is how religious
Obama is, yet how tolerant he is. I was
won over by a speech I heard him give in a
cathedral. He was preaching tolerance and
acceptance. It shocked and amazed me.
You're taken in by how he speaks. He's
incredibly enthusiastic. He's also honest,
which is something we desperately need.

Yeah, they all talk the talk like prim and
proper politicians.
I think Obama has it in the bag, honestly.
The lesser of two evils, I suppose, since
there is no third evil to choose.

Kucinich I think would do the most to
reform the country to a more humanitarian
state, but I am certain he will not be
elected. Pity, really. I'm all for a
woman president, but I wouldn't elect
Hillary at this point. Too bad we can't
go back in time and elect the Hillary that
campaigned with Bill during his first run
for presidency. That hillary had a hatful
of brilliant ideas about universal health
care which were, of course quickly
squelched by the lawmakers who are on the
payroll of insurace and drug companies.

I'm not completely sure yet because I've
only been exposed to a limited view of the
candidates, but so far Obama is my choice.
Hilary Clinton quite literally scares me.
I don't want to imagine our country with
her in office.

I love obama. Hillary would be my next,
but I'm not a huge fan.
I want someone who's not named Bush or
Clinton, and preferably not from Arkansas
or Texas, or from the south at all.
Why don't any northerners run?

It's hard because they all start out
honest and promise things that never
usually happen once they get in.. And
they start changing things they said
before they were elected..

I too like Kuchinich. He is the only
candidate that supports gay marriage.
However, living 30 minutes from Cleveland,
Kucinich gets a really bad wrap.
Obama will probably take my vote, even if
you can see the cheese through his smile.
Breaking the racial barrier would be quite
a feat, and one that I'd love to see done.

clinton or barack obama being elected
makes my toes curl. it's so exciting.

than bush (TWICE people, TWICE!!!) so here
is a chance to make history. at the very

I had nothing to do with that, for the
record.
I think I am leaning toward Obama. I'm
interested what the next few weeks will
bring. Don't get me wrong, I would love
to see a woman prez, but I am not certain
Hillary has much estrogen left in her
veins.

Vote Green! Show support for a multiple
party system; nothing will change unless
the people make it happen!

I am very impressed with how involved
people are getting in this election. It
makes me so excited to see voter turnout
up from the last couple of elections.
Obama inspires me, and that's important.
Inspirations has been lacking in the
American Political System. If I was
American, I'd vote for him. I like John
Edwards, too, but I feel like he's
yesterday's news, I guess.
Huckabee scares me... nice guy, but he's
letting his religion dictate his policy
for everyone, Romney looks like he wears
dirty underwear, and McCain, like Edwards,
feels washed up. (I'd never vote
republican, so, though these reasons
aren't really legit, they're so allowed).
