If the election were held today and these were the (major) candidates, for whom would you vote? Poll coming.

I wouldn't cast my vote, as I wouldn't be permitted to.

Expect about 50% of your answers to be just that.

This is probably the only time that Mitt will have a lead. http://languish.org/forums/html/emoticons/1.gif

Enrolled as a Green. Where's my candidate?

I'm a bit undecided between Romney and wouldn't cast a vote.

Hillary Clinton, without hesitation.

America needs moar big political parties.

Heh, go with not casting a vote. If his job here in MA is any indication of what his presidency would be like. Ah, fuck it, vote for Romney, he wouldn't get anything done either way

America needs moar big political parties.

Yes we do. Though I think I might be willing to settle on solid candidates, which is not something to happen anytime soon.

*sighs*

The 2008 elections are going to be rubbish.

I disagree with every single prospective Democratic candidate on at least one major issue.

The Republicans = also woefully bad.



I hope you enjoy a whole new definition of crapulence, the US, because it's what you're likely to get. It'll be Hillary "no political scruples" Clinton vs. Barack "wahey for genocide" Obama in the leadership for the Democratic Party (who will *inevitably* win) vs. Rudy Guiliani (if the Republicans know what's good for them, vote-wise).

It's basically a total write-off for the left, even by American leftist standards. Sad times.

I can't stand any of the candidates up for the next election. Of these three, Mitt doesn't have a realistic chance of winning. Bloomberg changes political affiliations like he changes his underwear. Hillary's constantly changing her statements with what happens to be popular at any given moment. Further, her speaking to audiences in blatantly false accents is insulting- her clearly socialist positions are unrealistic and would be far too expensive to manage without bankrupting the United States. Besides, she can't even mange to keep her own husband from trying to have sex with every woman with a pulse. How can one expect her to manage a nation?

Any Democrat, even the one you mischaracterize here, will be far better than the asshole we've suffered under for the last 6 years, so to call this option a whole new definition of crapulence is, well, dumb.

hillary clinton.

romney has an impressive financial record but being president is so much more than that.

bloomberg cant decide what party he supports.

What about the others? Ron Paul gets my vote.

The 2008 election is the most ridiculous one I've seen yet. The Democrats don't have a single good political candidate. Now I've got issues with most of the republican ones also. In fact I think I'll name some of them:

Mitt- Is a wishy-washy cultist who is going to be too busy trying to comprimise to get anything done.

Rudy- Is not a candidate any serious Republican would vote for. All he has going for him is his "hero" status. Sure he helped new york out of the gutter but the politics over there are screwed up anyway. What works for one city probably won't work for all of The United States of America.

Fred Thompson- Ok my only problem with this guy is that he hasn't entered the election officially yet. If he did I'd vote for him in a minute.

Ron Paul- This moron? who in their right mind(or left mind for that matter) would vote for this guy? He thinks we instigated 9/11 in the first place its our fault the terrorists attacked....right....theres a good solid leader for you...he forgot to mention we caused it...but thats another debate altogether.

Sen. McCain: My first problem with this guy is he's a senator...all a bunch of corrupt a**holes anyway....Second problem with him is that immigration bill (read amnesty) he tried to pass. thank goodness it didn't.

Tom Tancredo- Ok no problem with this one...except that he doesn't have enough support as of yet so It might be a waste of a vote.

Mike Huccabee- Ok I'll admit my only problem with this guy is that he believes that immigrants should be allowed to run for president...something just doesn't sit right with me about that.

Duncan Hunter- This guy wanted to restrict independent grassroots political committees. Somehow that strikes me as unconstitutional. He also likes the idea of allowing employers to interfere with union organizing.

Bloomberg- Ok...just WHO is this guy?

John Cox- Doesn't believe in minimum wage...do you really need any more than that?

That's all I can think of at the moment.

Completely arbitrary list of people. You might as well have said Clinton v. Ronald McDonald v. George W Bush

Enrolled as a Green. Where's my candidate?

Independant here. I wouldn't trust anyone from my party anyways. :D

What about the others? Ron Paul gets my vote.
Is it going to be close between Ron Paul and whoever in Ontario You reckon?

I'd vote for Clinton without a hesitation. Given a choice between Multiple-Choice Mitt, "Independant" Bloomberg, and Hillary Clinton, there can be no doubt.

And Yootopia, there are plenty of far left candidates, but none of them are Democrats. See the Dems have to compete in the political reality of America, not the political reality of fairyland.

Bloomberg FTW!

No. They are all either candidates or are expected to declare their candidacy shortly. I did pick two more-or-less random Democratic and Republican contenders and I also picked Bloomberg because he is the only independent who has even a remote chance of earning a sizable chuck of the vote.

If the election were held today and these were the (major) candidates, for whom would you vote? Poll coming.

I selected that I wouldn't cast a vote. But I would probably vote for a qualified third party candidate.

No. They are all either candidates or are expected to declare their candidacy shortly.
That is irrelevant. Romney is polling below McCain and McCain's chance of winning the nomination is below that of Ronald McDonald.

Ron Paul!

Seems I wasn't too far off on my estimates :p

Boo yah! (I'm hammered and amazed I can type this!).

Neither. I can't vote in American elections.
