US 2008 Presidential Election

Who do you think should win?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5006788.stm

After reading the profiles on each of the candidates, I decided that Mitt Romney from the Republicans should win. Why? Well, he wants to make heath insurance mandatory in the country.

Guiliani

nuff said.

Actually, he is pro-choice, and I'm pro-life, so I don't know, That may just be a political campaign to get votes.

But I really like Mitt. He actually may be my favorite.
If Hillary wins (which she most likely wont) I'm moving out of the country.

I've actually been following this.. I think Obama is really the only candidate that will actually commit to changing things for America.
Clinton sat on the board of Wal-Mart and didn't try to do anything about their labour practices. I don't trust her. I think Bill will be doing a lot of backseat presidency; if he's this active during her campaign, I can just imagine what he'll be like if she would win.

On the Republican side, I don't like McCain at all. He's a war vet. He likes the war in Iraq and he wants to stay there. He'll probably want to go to Iran, too.
Romney is too business-oriented, I don't think he'll promote enough social programs.

Giuliani's campaign is really weak.. his polls are really low and he's focussed far too much on Florida and not the rest of the primaries. I don't see him lasting past Super Tuesday.

^If we pull out of Iraq, much more damage will happen. I support the war in Iraq, but I do not support McCain.

I do not trust Hilary. At all.

I am very passionate about this ( I will get to vote in November!!!!) and I think I'm very qualified in my possition.

^I think they've added to even more political instability.. they're basically in the middle of a civil war now. I think they should only stay until the current fighting is a more calm, and then they should give power over to the Iraqi people and let them take charge of their own country. The current puppet government doesn't serve the interests of the people (like rebuilding social systems.)

Obama with a 55% win in South Carolina tonight. His speech was insane.
I really think he's one of the best orators of our time.

I love how I live in such a notorious state when it comes to elections. I was watching the news and the broadcast babe just said, "But the real trick is if he can win over Florida."

I just laughed. I wish I could vote in the primaries... but I will be able to vote at the presidential elections.

Superdelegates are not democratic. Why is it that a few represent so many? In the '04 elections one superdelegate was equivalent to about 150,000 votes. Obama has won more delegates than Clinton has (through primaries and caucuses), but she is leading because of the superdelegates.

*Superdelegates are "votes" that politicans have. Their one vote gives the candidate a delegate. 2,025 delegates are needed needed to win the democratic nomination.

I have been following this fairly close (so much more interesting then the Canadian ones!)
And I think I would like Hillary Clinton in office =)
I dont feel like tying out why right now but might come back to this thread

And Mitt Romney has dropped out of the race

^Yep, about a week ago. I actually, as wishy-washy as this sounds really hope Huckabee wins primaries for the republican side. Even though McCain is kicking some Red Butt.

Out of curiosity? Why do people want Hillary to win? It seems like such a blind choice. She is an awful leader and her and her husband make possibly the worst team ever. It seems like everything she touches she screws up. She changes her mind on her platform all the time and laughs to cover things up. It's not because she's a woman. She a woman in a man's world, and therefore and to compensate for that, have an extra strong point, and she doesn't. A true strong leader would be able to. I just don't like her and I will be moving out of this country if she does.

Obama is kicking ass - 10th straight win with Hawaii and Wisconsin last night.

McCain is possibly in an 8-year affair with a lobbyist.
