I think and hope that it's John McCain but if I HAD to choose one of the dems I'd rather have Hilary over Obama.

I'm not exactly sure why I think he'll win, I just feel like that is what's going to happen. Something about the split between Clinton and Obama makes me feel like the dems are going to have trouble winning the election

I'm not to crazy about Hilary's and Barack's economic policies....... I think John McCain is the lesser of the three evils.

Agreed. Though, McCain leans a little more to the left than I'd like.

Concurred.... But I'll take him over Hilary any day.

I honestly can't predict who will win this one. My vote is for McCain though.

I feel Barack Obama will win.John McCain only looks good because he hasn't faced the tough questions on his foreign and domestic political positions yet.All the real focus has been on the Democratic rivalry.The big question is who will be the Vice-Presidental selections.It's a shame Hillary is running such mean-spirited campaign.She would have made a good running mate and helped unite the Party.I have no idea who McCain wants.I would guess it will someone even more Conservative to appease the G.O.P. "faithful".No moderates need apply. :eek:

I think Obama will win. He will definitely at least get the democratic nomination which is why I'm not even considering Hilary. Then you have McCain. I think the Republicans have done enough damage over the past 8 years, and I think it's time for a change. I agree with experiment when he said that McCain only looks good because he hasn't answered tough questions yet. This is very true. He loves to skirt around issues and be as vague as he can. I don't think I want a president that skirts around issues. Not cool in my book.

As far as Hilary goes, I think she lost the democratic primary a while back when she turned this campaign into a rivalry instead of being completely professional about it. I think Hilary would make a good president given she had a lot of say when her husband was president, but I think Obama will make a better one.

What are all of these "tough questions" that Obama has been answering?

Those are just a few that came to mind. There are plenty more I'm sure. Hilary has answered quite a few tough ones too, so I give her that credit too, but McCain, yet to see him do anything but skirt around issues. Maybe that's why the focus has been mainly on Hilary and Barack when it comes to being in the news. They have nothing to talk about when it comes to McCain.

You call softballs from MTV and Oprah tough questions? These people are Obama cheerleaders.

@amkls704

I should clarify my stance on this whole "tough questions" thing.

Tough questions don't get answered in the primaries. They get answered in the general election. None of these candidates have had to answer questions from someone who disagrees with them.

It's all patty-cake until the general election.

Maybe Hillary should just stick to drinking beer and chasers of Crown Royal.(As shown on The Daily Show & Jay Leno) She looked far happier. :p

I wish she would, because in all honesty - I think she'd make a better president than Obama and McCain, but the way it's looking, Obama will get the nomination. That's why I was somewhat siding with Obama, just because I really doubt she'll get the nomination.

Obviously one of these three will be the next president, and though I will vote I will likely not vote for either. I want real change, not promised or rhetorical change. I really liked Edwards, but oh well. With that said, I'd rather vote with conviction rather than simply because I believe this person has a great chance to win. Been there; done that and have been bitterly disappointed with the end result.

I hope McCain loses, but I still don't think that this country is ready to vote for a non-white male. So I think McCain will take it, but I sure hope I am wrong.

Since I live in Arizona my vote won't matter (McCain will obviously win AZ), but I will be voting Libertarian.

Clinton
but this is pretty difficult to choose between Obama and Clinton
and a buddy told me that Clinton has alot of experience as politician, and backed by Bill
but I had a weird dream one day, heard a news from my phone, and it stated
President Barack Obama
and I woke up after that

I don't think American voters are liberal enough to elect a black person or a woman as their leader. I hope that I'm wrong, but I just don't think America is ready for that right now. Cheers.
