I can't do it this time around. I must vote. Republicans have been in office too long. We need change.

I've heard your perspective from others. It's scarey to say the least. We need Obama to be a part of the big picture. I think you just convinced me to go with HILLARY! Thank you!

One more thought....
1. please put age, sex and race aside.
2. define the needs of the Country.
3. determine who could best address the needs.
4. vote for the person who can do the job.

Has anyone made a list of the USA's needs? deficiencies? problems?
Have the candidates stated "how" they would address these needs?

The campaign still has a ways to go. It's going to get more intense as time passes. Maybe this is a new discussion topic, and I don't know how to start one. : )

obama will create a race war in the states and will probably be killed during the first year of his mandate. (some right winger will NEVER accept a black president)

hillary..well just because she's hillary is enough i supposed and she want to modify NAFTA.

McCain is a warmonger and is pretty dangerous.

Our choice is to vote or not vote. McCain is in his early 70's. I think 71-72. He's been through a lot and seen a lot. I don't want another Republican President. The country needs too much in its current state of affairs. Right now, the job to help the USA and the World would best come from a Democrat. We need more balance. There's none now. The Republicans have been in control too long. I usually go with the "best" for the job when election time comes around. Right now, my thoughts are the Democrats need to join forces, money and energy. They should not be fighting between themselves. The Democrats would have a much stronger platform if they came together. Based on history and what everyone's said above me on this post, I'd like to see Hillary as the President and Obama as the VP. It would create good balance and help the Democrats unite the Party. It would give Obama an opportunity to prove himself and prepare to be the next President. Hillary would have an opportunity to fulfill her life's ambition. She's prepared herself for this job for a very long time. Obama never admitted he was running or wanted to run for President until it happened. If the Democrats play their cards right, they could create a 16 year Democratic run in Office. Wouldn't that make the World a better place to live? I think it would. When the Clintons were in office the world was a friendlier place. Americans were perceived as good. Bush destroyed that and the world is a mess. The economy is very bad, and our participation in the war has produced little good compared to the price we've paid. My greatest fear... I'm afraid if the Democrats don't join forces the Republicans may win again. And, now there's rumors of Rice joining McCain as his running mate as VP. Can't predict the future, but the USA needs some relief.... the only good thing about the election so far is knowing Bush finished his work and can move on to something else.

Of those three, I'd like to see Alan Keyes in the White House.

He might not be the best president American has ever had: but I think his administration would be an exciting one.

Jturnmerich,
I’m not sure what his age has to do with this. I suppose you would elect someone based on his or her age and not qualifications.

As for keeping soldiers in the Middle East, you really have no understanding of the situation. McCain is smart enough to know we cannot just pack-up all of our soldiers and come home. He also has the integrity to say that to the American public. You see Obama and Clinton know this also, they are just lying when they say they will begin an immediate withdrawal of troops if they are elected.

The vacuum that will be created would cause even greater problems there and we would probably have to go back in to finish what we didn’t finish. That would be an even greater cost in lives, time and money. And please spare me the speech about we should have never gone in to Iraq. The fact is we are there now and we need to do the right thing. That is not packing our bags a leaving without finishing the job.

Using Michael Moore as reference about military recruitment lends less creditability to your argument than if you would have just left him out of your point. Here is a clue… Our military is voluntary… That means if I’m a congressman’s son or daughter, I probably will have a whatever I want in life. I doubt I will want for a good job and I know my parents will pay for my school. However, you may want to recheck your facts. There are children of congress in the military today. They “volunteered” just like the poor kids. Those poor kids you mentioned in New Orleans saw an “Opportunity” to have a better life. Joining the military was better than what they we’re facing on the streets of New Orleans. How else would that kid receive job training, skills and 100% college tuition in order to make a better life.

I have no contest of Clinton when it comes to experience. being a formerfirst lady and a senator. but i doubt to her capacity to handle Mideast Crisis. McCain is a well grown political man that is seasoned by his non popular legacy. but i will not trade or barter this crucial decade in quest of CHANGE! From healthcare to War in Terror. Obama cannot even be a perfect president if be given a chance. but I'm always go for someone who stand in his words, take responsibility, and do transparent governance. Regardless of his inexperience, but with Integrity to change the governance and determine to remove the division of Dem. and Rep. political business, I will risk my Vote to him.

How old is McCain?.. I can't remember his age... and is not another Bush? if not, why should he still wanted to hold our soldiers in MidEast? as Micheal Moore said, If our fellow soldier recruited where came from poor family of this country, and not even a single son of this poor congressman did joined the war. rather go to new orleans and give this flyers where each poor fellow white and black americans have no choice but to take the challenge.

I feel that there is definitely a need for A Democratic President. I consider myself a conservative Democrat, but it is clear that our country needs change. I personally like the ideas Barack Obama has set forth but I would be happy with either him or Clinton. Read my blog for more of my political views.

What a sorry listing of candidates we have to consider. Pathetic. We can pick between Hillary or McCain, both anger management (head) cases. Or, we can choose pie in the sky, Obama.
In all three cases all we have to choose from are Socialists. No thanks, I will never vote for a socialist of any stripe. That means this Fall will be the first election in the past 60 years I will have not cast a vote for president. I'm sitting this one out.

When it comes down to this Presidential Race, I think you have to go with integrity. Clinton has proven time-and time again, she is a lier. Obama is a closet racist. You can not know someone for 20 + years, call them your spiritual leader, have them perform your marriage, baptized your kids,,, and not know the man's position. Obama lied about his not knowing the true Rev Wright and by not separating himself from this man, he is accepting that position. And finally, all because McCain has some conservative positions, he is not another Bush. I would much rather know up front what I getting for President, then to "Hope" all the lies of the other two come true. I'm for McCain.

The candidate with the most experience is McCain but I'm voting for Obama. I think Obama has the lead especially with young voters because of his age, the young voters view Hillary as their mother, McCain as their father and Obama as a brother.
Experience is relative for the candidate if he/she has a strong/knowledgeable cabinet.
This is an exciting time in US History and every American needs to jump on the bandwagon, get involved, and vote.

I think the dynamics of this race vs the race between Bush and Kerry are a little different.

Kerry should of won any ways, but they fixed the votes.

Maybe you're right, but if he does win (in order to do, they would have to fix the votes again), we're screwed.

Duke

I’ll consider a hard money wager when we are a month from the vote. Remind me – I'll consider offering three hundred to two hundred.

The opposition was just as sure with John Kerry.

I never understand why foreigners are so concerned about our gun laws. Anyways my point is that it will take a lot more than a president to change that. I really don’t understand this one domestically. I enjoy going to the range and shooting my pistol – its sport. At home it’s in a firebox under lock and key though it does heighten my sense of security.

LOL

You actually think McCain has a chance?

ROTFL

I know what you mean about noise, but since Bush has been in, the Republican base has shrunk by (I think) a third or more. There are so many Reps going to Independents, it's crazy.

If you think there will be another Rep Pres this go around...wow!

If Hilary doesn't win this one, it will definitely be Obama.

Either way, Hilary is going to be in the White House. If not the Pres, the Vice Pres.

I'm from the other side of the ocean - so which of them will look after the environment, supply free health care, be strong on violent crime, ban firearms, support the unemployed, help the pensioners, care for the infirm, improve the land that you live in? I think I would ask all of those questions before placing my vote. You are, after all, not only voting for your own beliefs you are voting for the kind of place you would like your children and grandchildren to grow up in. Which of your candidates will make it a better place for everyone to live?

I actually support McCain but I am a registered democrat and will vote democrats in the house and senate.

The reason McCain will win is because of the radicalism and absolutism that exist in the Democratic Party. I had seen this same kind of high heeled belief that Kerry would take it. The noise drives quite herds of conservatives to the polls.

One thing that hurts the democrats is the absolutism within the party – I see so many democrats acting like they’ll damn near renounce their citizenship because anybody but there preference is evil. Lots of noise doesn’t equal the popular consensus.

I’ll wait till we’re a little closer and then I’ll offer a hard dollar wager. But hey whoever wins – I’ll still be American and in my opinion all three of them have something to offer.

Not to mention all the special interest groups that fight for the candidate who will most likely "support" them.

That's where the ear marks make a huge difference in the elections.
