I can tell you one thing I'm not in 50% agreance with Clinton in my book.
My two favorite candidates are Guiliani and Gingrich. I don't know Duncan Hunter
The thing I like is watching all the Democrats trash each other which is pretty sad in my book. If you can't win on merits I'm gonna try and trash the other person to win. I'm sure the Republicans will start the same crap sooner or later. That's one thing I can't stand about politics.
They are ALL self serving and only care about power.

Well, it got my top choice correct, that is who I support. But I would never consider supporting Gingrich or Ron Paul. My poltics are libertarian btw, and Ill very likely be voting for the democrat no matter who it is. Keeping the supreme court in balance is my top priority, I dont want to see a 5 vote conservative majority. My economic beliefs are free market (conservative, I guess), but I cant stomach the religious right.
Ron Paul is a "states rights" libertarian btw, thats why even though my philosophy is libertarian I couldnt support him. Maybe Im better described as classical liberal. I think the SC should protect our rights from states and feds both.
All the republican candidates for me were last. Guess that means that if I was an american, that I would be a democrat.
very interesting. however, you should consider that, for now, the republicans might be just sitting back and enjoying the show, only to field their "serious" candidate(s) at a later, politically more convenient date. by then, voters will be tired of those currently running. in my opinion, it was a mistake for the democrats to field the best they have so early. by the time the "real" republican candidate(s) enter the race, the gop will have had more than enough time to sharpen their daggers (for backstabbing and cutting throats), oil their spin-machine (to simultaneously attack those who were for and those who were against the war, as well as politically obliterate and personally humiliate anyone who opposes them) and gear up their base by appealing to its basest instincts and scaring the hell out of them.
who knows, maybe, after desperately trying to find a suitable candidate but failing to do so, mr. cheney is - gravely and because he really doesn't see any other way (just like he did in 2000 for vp; remember?) - going to take it upon himself to run. i'm pretty sure your next president is going to be a republican. again.
anyway, nice greetings from switzerland :-)
I DONT CARE. I AM NOT AMERICAN.

That was interesting. I don't know much about Obama and have resisted doing any research this early in the game...guess I'll have to check him out now. Maybe there's hope for a halfway decent candidate after all.
100% Rush Limbaugh
99% Glenn Beck
10% John Edwards (notice his percentage and what that might mean) tehe
Funny, I got Mr. Theoretical Ideal Candidate @ 100%, followed by Kucinich, Obama, Biden and Edwards.
Jonathon Blake asked where the 3rd Party Candidates were. And I was wondering who Elaine Brown (Green) and Kent McManigal (Boston Tea Party/Libertarian) were, if not 3rd Party... They were in the middle of my list, which announces loud and clear that I'm a Liberal.
My last five? 22-26: Brownback (gawd's Senator!), Gingrich, Hunter, Thompson, Gilmore - right where they need to be!
Thanks! That was more fun than usual. Now, if only Obama would throw off his "vanilla pudding on white bread" carefulness and take some risks...
Hi Naomi,
This post has been edited since the reply you mentioned was written. The website providing the selector updated and expanded it, adding some independent voices like Brown and McManigal. I agree that third-party candidates ought to be included in these things, since I have something of a distaste for both the Republicans and the Dems (although the vast majority of my venom is directed toward the GOP).
Even though I'm a libertarian, I have been a 100% Democrat voter since Bush took power. His idiotic smirk--and destructive policies at home and abroad--have turned me against the entirety of his party. The only Republican I like right now is Ron Paul.
