Default If you were American who would you vote for?

With their presidential campaigns underway, which way would you vote?

Democrat or republican?

Clinton or Obama?

Juliani or Edwards?

Mike Bloomberg. I know chances are he won't run, and that most people don't really know him too well, but this guy is seriously one of the most pragmatic and effective politician around. He is well liked by the left because of his easy going social policies, and loved by the right because of his ability to get things done like a true business man.

I kind of like Rudy, but I wish Condoleeza Rice would run.

The only candidate mentioned that I have already eliminated as a possibility for my vote is John Edwards. It's still wide open, in both parties, for my vote.

Maybe Obama....I'm not sure though. Kinda gave up following the races because of the frustration.

It really depends on who runs... whoever is centre-right economically, pragmatic, socially neutral though slightly right leaning, intelligent and leaves their Bible at home would get my vote. That could be a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above.

1. Clinton
2. Obama
3. McCain

McCain is really the only Republican candidate I'd feel comfortable voting for - it is too bad he hitched his wagon to the administration instead of keeping on the outside, otherwise he'd be higher on my list.

I really really like Obama, he has been so far an " honest" politician. with Clinton, yes she is a terrific candidate however , had she not been 1st lady would she be where she is at? i still need to look closer at the Republicans i admit

I'll be voting for Joe Biden. I can't stomach the thought of Clinton being in office, don't think Obama has done enough on the national and international scale to deserve the post, and think all of the Republican candidates, aside from Mit Romney, are garbage.

being that i think politics is one big joke to begin, i'd vote for Clinton just because it'd be different and shake things up. besides, there's been a radical right wing nutjob running the US into the ground for 8 years, so maybe a radical left wing could help to balance things out

Hilary Clinton is pretty far from a radical left wing nut job.

Hillary would literally be the last candidate I would vote for. Based on past actions, Ive come to realize she is the typical opportunistic politician who will say anything to get your vote. Instead of trying to get ahead on her own merits, she relies way too much on focus groups and charts to form her opinions of the moment.

Hillary not a dumb woman by any means (and after the last guy, it would be hard not to improve), but I just can't respect someone without any character and integrity.

Rudy for the Republicans but could be swayed

As for the Democrats.....

It would come down to Obama, Clinton, or Richardson(though I think he has no chance)

DIS....why have you slashed Edwards off your list? Just curious.

Edwards can't say anything except that Bush is bad and he's not Bush.

ZERO vision.

George Bush is irrelevant in this election.
