Looks like Rudy is ahead by an average of 10.7 points in the Republican poll and Fred, who hasn't even officially announced, is in second place.

Clinton continues to kick Obama's butt in the Democratic poll with a 15.6 point lead.

It will be an interesting primary if the voters don't burn out first. Perhaps we need a law to limit the primary election season to six months and the final election to three months. So, what do you think?

Personally, I'd go with Romney (even though he's a Mormon) or Obama.

About the primary thing... yes. That is a good idea.

Gore needs to pull a Nixon...or this is going to be a horrible election.

Rudy vs. Clinton? God* help us!

Although it gives me an excuse to vote Socialist.....

Woa, I thought that bastard Romney would be in first. This pleases me.

The Hillary thing... Well fuck me...

I pray to God she isn't picked by the Democrats, but I know she will be.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that I care about. The rest of them just sound the same.

I realize that no candidate and I would agree 100%. I also realize that the President by himself/herself cannot pass a law. Yes, I would defiantly support Rudi.

But he isn't even in the poll. There is no way he can win.

I remain confused by the fact that Clinton is winning in the polls. I've yet to hear any actual person say that they back her.

So, we may have a choice between a Bush Clone (and lets' face it, he is) and a woman who wants to ban video games and take profits away from legit oil companies because we all know that it'll make the price go down.

Craptastic.

Giuliani v. Clinton

That's a nightmare, and it looks like it's one that's going to come true.

Actually, I forgot about Gore. Gore in '08!

I support Ron Paul because he is a supporter of Libertarianism and tried to run as a Libertarian back in the 80's I believe but didn't win, so to increase his chance of winning, he went Republican.

Personally at this point, I don't care which third party you vote for. If Ron Paul doesn't get the Republican nod, I'm voting for the Libertarian candidate.
