Who are your top three candidates?

[CaptainHenreh]

Even our resident liberal hippie doesn't like the Lizard Queen.

Why is she still in the race?

[ViPER1313]

I have no clue.

I'm pretty liberal and there is no way I would vote for her.

[Evan]

80% Hillary Clinton
..
No huge surprises, I guess I'm a hippie or something. The only minor surprise was that I thought I would be slightly more moderate, but oh well.

However, I don't forsee Hillary getting my vote, mostly because as far as I know, Hell is still a boiling pit of lava and flames.

She's not that liberal... she's just a bitch :-)

only on Planet California is a Clinton not liberal enough :lol:

in other news, Thompson is expected to officially drop out soon.

Anyone else feel like he only ran because his wife wanted him to anyway? Late to enter...early to exit...and I saw his wife on media appearances more than him....(not that I mind seeing her over his crusty ass)

+ Juan.

Newsweek did a story about his campaign and the vibe of the article was pretty much that his wife ran the show.

Thompson's out officially:

Thats why I wouldn't vote for her.
I'm still fairly confused on who I approve of; pretty much all of the frontrunning candidates aren't what I would imagine as being a decent representative of our country, even though each one has their high points. I think we get fucked by the two-party system, but maybe thats just me bitching.

Edit: This is actually a pretty clean political thread. Interesting.

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.selectsmart.com">http://www.selectsmart.com</a><!-- m --> seems to be a much more accurate test. It asks about economy things, gun control, abortion, stem cell research.. not just about the buzzwords like abc's does. It gave me... (removed names of people no longer running and other nonames)

Dennis Kucinich (91%)
Barack Obama (87%)
Hillary Clinton (81%)
John Edwards (75%)
Mike Gravel (65%)
Ron Paul (45%)
Rudolph Giuliani (34%)
Mike Huckabee (31%)
John McCain (25%)
Mitt Romney (20%)

Lines up pretty much with exactly what I think. I'm going to be voting for Obama though. Kucinich doesn't stand a chance.

Normally, they come up in the order: Gravel/Kucinich (who cares), Obama, Clinton, Edwards. The key issues separating Obama from G/K are gay marriage vs civil unions, and immigration.

Despite the OBSCENE website design, I thought the results were interesting:

Ron Paul (77%)
John McCain (44%)
Mitt Romney (42%)
Mike Gravel (41%)
Barack Obama (36%)
Dennis Kucinich (34%)
Rudolph Giuliani (27%)
John Edwards (25%)
Mike Huckabee (25%)
Hillary Clinton (25%)

some of these statements were not nearly republican enough... fucking softies

[JackoliciousLegs]

VA primaries coming up... go out and vote.

[BLINGMW]

for Huckabee! :mrgreen:

[ScottyB]

for Huckabee! :mrgreen:

he has chuck norris's vote, why not?

[BLINGMW]

hmmm good point, he won't really need any other votes then!

[Goodspeed]

[HAULN-SS]

So - if huckabee can't win...why is he still in it?

This is according to CNN, btw - assuming he wins out.

[Mike]

even if you don't win your party, you're free to run for president. he may just want to continue his candidacy.

[HAULN-SS]

even if you don't win your party, you're free to run for president. he may just want to continue his candidacy.

right, but when's the last time a party-less guy won presidency?

key word: run.

[DavidM]

If Huckabee runs w/o the Republican nomination he'll all but guarentee a Democrat victory.

[Mike]

i'm ok with that.
