So that Hilary e-mail lead to CSS e-mails being spammed. May as well ask it here. Which candidate do you prefer to run the US?

I'll go for Obama.

He has an understanding of different cultures and talks about these things without being judgmental. I find this an important trait because people need to work together and it'd be nice if the rest of the world stopped hating us. If he can use that to negotiate with other world leaders, it'll be great.

Next, I like his background where he's all for civil rights and all that. He seems to understand what people's problems are. To me that indicates that he's willing to make changes so people can stop being screwed over in life. One topic for this is his proposals for Medical. That's a big issue for him because a lot of Americans lack adequate health care, and Obama wants to implement changes to have Medical or whatever available to everyone.

Other than his Democratic ideals that usually appeal to me, that's why I'd like to see the man as President.

I really don't know who to vote for, that's why I'm staying away from the polls this Feb. 5th.

Clinton's stand on Iraq and her proposal for Universal Healthcare sounds great, but we've had over 20 years of Bushes and Clintons. We need a new person as President.

Obama will be a great change for America as it will change the world's view about America. As a minority, Obama can relate to others more and will seem like a down-to-earth person.

You can obviously see that I'm a democrat as I really don't care about McCain, Huckabee, or Romney.

I will wait out until I see who will win the Democratic candidacy, then I will vote during the November Elections.

ACTUALLY, I VOTE FOR PETER PETRELLI! HE CAN FLY AND HE SAVED NEW YORK FROM DISASTER!

Here are all the remaining candidates views on key topics in a nutshell.

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/

I have no issue with Clinton. Actually I was comfortable under the Clinton administration. However, I admit that I was too young and ignorant about politics during his reign to be able to tell whether or not he really did a good job. I won't be upset if she actually becomes president.

But I would prefer someone new for now. If Hilary would really be a better president, then I suppose sacrificing Obama is a better idea. I could imagine that you can't expect any good results right away from any candidate who is going to inherit what Bush left behind.

1. Obama --> Cleans up some of Bush's mess. Hopefully end up being a decent president.
2. Hilary/Someone else ---> Has less issues to inherit after Obama, and hopefully start off well on next election.

I already voted.

I signed up for one of them absentee mail-in ballots.

Other than the presidential primary, most of the propositions were about the casinos.

Ah... Like I said, I'll sit this one out until November.
