Lady of the Rogue

I don't really know a lot about the Republican candidates yet, so I'll leave that alone until I do some research.

Regarding Obama? Better him than Clinton. However, I would have been happier with Edwards, because he wants to bring the troops back home from Iraq ASAP. Obama said he'd do it "gradually", but gradually could mean a year, or three, or five, or eight. *shrug* And apparently Hilary Clinton's plan calls for them to start withdrawing by 2012/2013, and that's just not cool with me...

New Hampshire primaries today! The results should be released later. It looks good for Obama, from the poll results, but of course that isn't concrete...

I have a question for the other Democrats here - which Republican would you most want to win their parties' nomination? I'd say Ron Paul or Mitt Romney, which is sort of sad because neither will win.

Whoever you guys vote in, please don't let it be the one whom I read wanted to "claim America for Christ... and to Quarantine AIDS sufferers.."

That would be Huckabee, and I'm certainly not voting for him. Although I'd say that he or McCain would be the Republican with the most chance of winning the primaries, unfortunately.

Of the Republicans, I'd most like Romney to win. I'm especially wary of Huckabee because he's a religious leader. I will NEVER vote for a reverend/minister for president, no matter their party. Never, ever, ever.

I haven't decided who I like among the Democrats. Since I'm 98% likely to vote for the Democratic candidate, I don't want to get my heart set on someone and then have them not on the ballot. I have minor favorites, but nothing so solid I couldn't be happy with someone else.

(since I mentioned the video game "content control" thing previously, I should say that Clinton has switched, and is now backing the status quo of ratings instead. Yayness.)

Yep, I also refuse to vote for any religious leader. I firmly believe in "separation of church and state", and I feel that someone who is so involved in religion will not honor that. Maybe if the politicians realized that not all of us are Christians and so won't fall for that crap... ><

I still haven't decided who to vote for. I think I'm going to vote Democrat though, even though I'm signed up as Republican. I think I'm going to change that.

I don't understand why someone would run a campaign in a multicultural country with the intention to..."claim America for Christ"

Anyways, American elections confuse me. The only two candidates I usually hear about are Obama and Hillary ~

King of Thieves

Well, Obama and Clinton are the Democratic frontrunners, so they are getting a lot of press time.

I'm with you, LQ and Ana, on not voting for a religious leader. Even if I agree with what they say, even if they're of my religion, I just couldn't in good conscience vote for them and disregard separation of church and state.

You all are right, a separation of church and state is important. I also hate that Huckabee is using religion to gain votes. That's just not right, the way a Christian will see that he's a minister and just vote for him, regardless of any of his politics. Ron Paul is a Christian, but he believes that it is wrong to use his religion to get extra votes.

I really, really don't like Clinton. I was reading an article on all the barb-filled arguments she and Obama have been in, and I have to say that I really admire Obama for standing up so firmly to Hillary.

Vermont's electoral votes will actually count this year. Talk about completely unbelievalble. Usually the candidates are decided in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the rest is afterthought.
