Who are you planning on voting for?
As an independant voter in the state of Massachusetts, I have the ability to vote in either primary.
__________________In this case, I am convinced that there are two people I may potentially vote for. Rudy or Obama. I believe today based on all that I have read that I am going to register to vote in the Democratic primary and vote for Obama. All of this may change, but I like more and more what I am seeing from Obama. ANy thoughts? [Q]To make the government more accountable, Obama said he would post all non-emergency bills online for five days before he signed them into law, allowing Americans a chance to weigh in on the legislation. In addition, he said he would post all meetings between lobbyists and government agencies online. Obama said he would require Cabinet officials to speak to Americans via national broadband town-hall style meetings to discuss issues at their agencies. He also pledged to issue an executive order that information about the government's operations must be released to those seeking it unless it could harm a protected interest. Obama cited his record of backing ethics and lobbying reforms, including co-authoring a bill that requires all government spending to be posted online - allowing anyone to do a simple Internet search and find that information. He said that during his time as a state lawmaker he helped to create hospital report cards so that patients could understand the quality of care offered at each hospital.[/Q] God I love this! |

I plan on electing Rudy Giuliani the next President of the United States. For the most part right now I am a one issue guy- terrorism. Whoever's position on the War on Terror I like best will get my vote. That guy is Rudy. I love his whole "stay on offense" theme. ETA: If you like Obama for his stances, fine. Just please dont tell me you're going to vote for him because he is black and/or cute and/or a good speaker. That crowd makes me fear the future of politics. |

i liked obama before he ran for president. now i don't care much for his policy. i guess now when we have to listen to him discuss his platform i have to actually pay attention instead of drool and look on with starry eyes. |

In my state I can't vote in either primary because I'm a registered independent but in the general election, I'm probably going to support Hillary. If I could vote in the Democratic primary I'd vote for Biden. If I had a vote in the Republican primary, I'd vote for Ron Paul.
Overall, I like Biden the most, followed by Hillary Clinton. |

No one in the Liberal party, that's for sure... For our upcoming election, I mean.

I like that he has stuck his foot in his mouth. He is new and fresh and has ideas that resonate....change. And that is important to me at this point. |

I too like Biden. He's probably my favorite. But, if it's still neck and neck between Hillary and Obama my support would go to Obama.

I will be casting an absentee ballot for Obama, based on what I've seen at this point. I'm not worried about a lack of foreign policy experience when his team could surround him with the best minds in the country as a president-elect.
Guliani scares the shit out of me, frankly. He entire campaign seems to be based on the fact that people all over America think that their small, shitty suburban communities actually have a chance in hell of being attacked by Al Queida. I am NOT comfortable with his dangerously authoritarian, big-brother mentality that keep cropping up in speeches. If he gets into office, then whoever voted for him deserves all the reductions in civil liberties they get, after all this crap over the last 8 years already failed to get them to wake up. |

Too bad Biden doesnt have a prayer. If he actually got the nod, and Rudy wasnt the Republican nominee, I wouldnt almost consider voting for him. I like a few of his positions.

Rudy is far too authoritarian, as much as I disagree with him I think that Ron Paul would be a good choice.
