I personally don't care.
I don't understand why there has to be only one representative of each party, opposed to the people picking whoever they want.

Anyways - woman, black guy - who cares.
It's either history either way, or a Republican victory.

Because it would split that party's votes and the other party would run away with a victory.

Well, I could vote for either one, I think they would both make great Presidents. Although ive gotta go with Obama being an Illlinois native.

It just seems a little retarded to have a pre-vote to who you're going to vote for.

Because if the people who vote for Clinton to win over Obama are really pissed off, they might not vote in the actual election itself anyways, because the candidate isn't the one they approve of.

I say don't elect the candidates per party, appoint them. The party decides who they want to lead them in the election, opposed to a little over half the democrats who support that person. That way instead of getting (roughly) half the countries voters to vote democrat, you might only get a little over a quarter of them to vote. If they get choked enough.

Definitely Obama. He was always my second choice behind Dennis Kucinich who I knew would have to drop out anyway. Though the Pennsylvania primaries aren't until April or something anyway so I guess I don't have much say unless things aren't decided until then.

I think when one of them wins democratic candidacy, they should put the other on their ticket as vice president.

Everyone wins!

Haha.

Wait a minute, could Hilary run with Bill as her vice president? Is that constitutional allowed?

Hillary by far. Even though I disagree with most of her policies, she is at least somewhat experienced, unlike Obama. Honestly, I think Obama is utterly clueless. His speeches sound wonderful at the time, but once they're finsihed I can't remember a single substantive argument he made.

His entire run for president is based on cliches ("It's time for change!") and good feelings (The audacity of hope). So far I haven't heard a damn thing I could even consider an actual policy. To be fair, I view Huckabee the same way.

Oh well, Rudy's out, so it doesn't matter much to me anyway. I think whoever the democrat is, they will win the election, if only because I think Ron Paul is positioning for a 3rd prty ticket run and he'll suck enough votes away that any Republican candidate is guaranteed to lose.

I would like the poll to be opened so we can see who voted for who. People can't hide from the truth.

Technically no.
Since he would be direct ascention in case of an accident to Hilary. And he could only legally hold office, I believe for another 2 years.

I like Obama

It could just move on to the Speaker couldn't it? Skip the VP?

I hear this so much, and its a nonsense cop out arguement. Who cares if Obama "dosent have much experience." As far as im concerned, thats exactly what we need. Someone who isnt a typical politician. I mean, look what "experience" got us the past 8 years, one of the worst presidents ever.
