Whether you are left or right, who would you vote for?

To be quite honest, this is the first time in a long time that I really have no idea who I'd vote for.

I haven't decided as of yet who will be the lesser of the evils.​

I was considering voting for McCain,but he sold out to the religious right.
Right now the only one with a vision and ideals is Al Gore and he is not on the list.

It's a toss up .... so many choices.....

JB would be a good one ...... a Whaler in every yard!

SBN because he comes with his own Cabinet of Little Buddies from space!!

Of the announced candidates I am still leaning toward McCain, but he is pandering to the far right. All of the others have announced some stand I cannot support.

Powell would look good, but I think he pushes around too easily.

How about "Stormin' Norman"?

Two years before an election? How can anyone decide? All I know is I won't be supporting a socialist/democrat. There isn't one candidate that excites me. But a whole bunch that scare the living #$&* out of me. I would think I would provide each of them with a copy of the constitution before the debates.

I have no favorite canidate yet.

And when I do, no one will know which way that I voted. It is about the only thing left where nobody knows your business.

No favorite yet, but sure don't want to see McCain or Guiliani on the ballot.
McCain has shown his liberal leanings over the years, and sold out all voters with the McCain/Feingold bill.
Rudy, I don't think so, he just hasn't had the opportunity to sell us out yet.

Romney, has the money and the machine, which means he has favors to pay back. And his record as a governor of a small state, has only slightly impressed me. A 4 year, one term govenor, many things can be made to look good, only to come crashing down a few years later. Like that tunnel.

Brownback and Hunter actually seem the most appealing. But neither have the exposure/recognition, the spotlight, or the money.

Too soon. I'm not even considering anyone until there are only two left debating each other. Wasting energy on candidates right now is like working up the list of stuff you will buy when you win the lottery.

Re: Who is your favorite candidate for the '08 elections?


Is there anyone whose positions and policies are that unknown as of now? All that is left to discover is the negative campaigning put out by opposition research.

Just a suggestion, decide now and dedicate your the next year and a half to fishing or working on the boat.:D
