Obama.
I hate the rest.
Plus he\'s black. That\'s history.
I\'d settle for HIllary.
She\'s a woman.
That\'s history.
Plus I hate the rest.

i seriously have no idea..obama\'s alright but seems like he could be convinced to change his arguements pretty easily..hillary seemed like the strongest in the one debate i saw, but debates are bullshit so who knows.

the republicans all seem pretty useless..i heard ron paul is good but he has a bunch of views that go against what republicans think, so he wont get past the primary. But im praying to GOD gulliani doesn\'t get far

Gulliani!  

Obama just doesn\'t have it imo.  Too divisive due to the ethnicity factor.  When blacks won\'t vote for a black candidate just because of his color (cough - Oprah) then I will consider voting for one.  He really doesn\'t have any innovative ideas - not that the others do either, but it seems most people are voting for him due to the fact that he is black and it is the cool progressive thing to do.

Hillary hates men.  It will be a sad day for every male in this country if she gets elected.  Besides, the last thing we need is another "heir" in the white house.  

What we need is a moderate president - not an far left or far right candidate.  IMO all of the Dems and the Repubs pander toward their base.  The only candidate who bucks that trend to some extent is Guilliani because he has more socially liberal views than the Christian conservatives.

I actually wouldn\'t be opposed to voting for a Democrat IF they would distance themselves from the Code Pink/Move On folks.

BTW who the hell voted for Huckabee?

Gulliani!

Cleared the mafias out of NYC (much the disappointment of clips) and cleaned out Broadway of scum. As President, he\'ll clean out the dirt bags of this world and hopefully, Kaliforussia will sink into the ocean.

Actually, I think you mean he cleaned up Times Square and got rid of all the drug dealers (much to the disappointment of clips).

:laughing: @ gman and giga...my choice and the only logical one....Obama...and it\'s not because he\'s black(okay well that\'s part of the reason) i actually feels he\'s tired of the political crap that goes down in washington and he\'s one of the few people that has voted against the war from the jump. His inexperience as some would like to point out has nothing to do with how well he can manage the country.... look at the asshole currently running the country *with experience* is fairing now, the country is a mess domestically and abroad.

And giga the point of black folk votin\' for obama simply because he\'s black is as wrong as two fat people tryin\' to have sex. I\'m sure there are black folk votin\' for him because he\'s black, but you will always have that, and that mentality goes waaay back to the slavery/civil rights era and thinking "wouldn\'t it be nice to have the first black prez?" and that black vote with obama isn\'t set in stone,..there are still thousands of african americans votin for hillary all because of the Bill Clinton effect. I think hillary is bland and will become nothing more than a robotic slave to the masses in power if she becomes prez...and i really doubt oprah is endorsing obama strickly because of his color, what i think is wrong is that some white folk won\'t vote for obama strickly because of the color of his skin, and that is a problem that will probably hinder any legit african american from attaining office in the "white house".

Contradict yourself much?

Also he is just as much a player in Washington as any of the other candidates.  He is in the Senate - the most corrupt branch of the entire government.

that will never happen. There will always be a portion that votes for him because he\'s black, and only because he\'s black. that\'s because there is always a portion of the population doing that, mainly because they dont know anything about politics. So to say you\'re not going to vote for a black candidate just for that reason is just as closed-minded as voting for him because he is black. If he has good politics, than it shouldnt matter what other people are going to vote and why.

and guilliani runs the 9/11 train way too damn much. When Ron Paul had a very convincing arguement that we kept poking at the middle east till 9/11 happened, gulliani acted like the biggest douchebag i\'ve ever seen

That\'s because Guillani is a douchebag. He\'s just a douchebag that lucked up and can ride the 9/11 bandwagon.

with bush you\'d think people could see a difference between doing well during 9/11 and running the country. at least i think bush handled 9/11 well..but i guess he would since he wants to bomb/intimidate everyone and i just wanted revenge,lol.

Fair enough, 98% of the population couldn\'t even name any of the presidential candidates outside of hillary, obama, and guillani anyway.
