Clinton, Obama or McCain?

As someone who is not an American and thus an inferior race I'm curious... Out of the three Presidential hopefuls who will you vote for in a few months time?

Obama - as he is closest to

Obama - as he is closest to my views (most liberal candidate that has a chance of winning.) Hillary Clinton would be my 2nd choice.

Obama, simply because he

Obama, simply because he most closely matches my, and many of my friends, views. In all honesty, however, any one of the three major front runners (Obama, Clinton, and McCain) will be infinitely better than the monster in office now.

Not sure if there is much

Not sure if there is much difference between all three candidates, so a vote for one is a vote for all. They all seem to support big business and corporate welfare over us peons. McCain does have a good track record of working with the dems, however we need a president that is somewhat knowledgable in economic principles and not just another chickenhawk. Obama might be good for foreign policy if he could get Bill Richardson as a VP. Clinton is just more of the same of what we currently have so won't even consider her a viable alternative.

I will be voting for Obama

I will be voting for Obama in the upcoming primary election, and if he gets the democratic nomination, I will vote for him in the general election.

 

Otherwise, my ballot will be cast for McCain.

Matt, usually you're more straightforward than this. Please stop sugarcoating it and tell us how you really feel about the Asshat in Chief.

And you political map on that other post was very good. The middle part should be labeled Asshatistan though.

If you disagree with the Bush presidency blame yourself since voter apathy / lack of turnout are big reasons why he got into power.

The first presidential candidate I voted for was Ross Perot.  He got 10% of the popular vote and not a single, solitary electorial vote.

Then change it.  The electoral system is broken, then change it.

In Canada we have open discussion on electoral reform and frequent votes at the federal and provincial levels when an idea has merit.  If people demand something, they will get it.  Switching to a proportional representation model would make a lot more sense.

Hmmmm....

I'm still waiting to see who the third-party candidates might be, but I'm very interested in seeing what Obama would do.

 

oh, and McCain can go fuck himself. Oh, wait, Bush already took care of that.

Just turned 18 this year. And for the most part the Electoral College decides who becomes President. I don't really mind getting involved in local or state elections. Its just Major elections are nothing more than horse and pony shows based on media coverage and overall popularity.

I like the look of Obama but that's because an article I randomly read the paper sold him to me.
I think that a lot of people who get behind candidates are often running on hope of what this guy might be.

Reminds me off my favourite quote from the 2004 elections.

The difference between Kerry and Bush is the difference between assraped with lube and assraped without it, but trust me when I say that's a seriously significant difference!!

I personally could live with any of them after 8 years of bush running the white house.   Part of me really wants Hillary because it would be the first woman and that would be nice and I really thought her husband did a great job, with exception to his extracurricular activity's.  But I do think that obama is also a very strong candidate and has a better chance of beating McCain.  The best would be them joining forces.

I like Obama, but that whole thing about him being anti-white, anti-Jewish is questionable. He didn't deny it. I still like him, but I wonder if he's ready to be president.

We do not need another Clinton regime, thanks. I'm tired of them.

Although I don't agree with McCain on a lot of issues, I like him and would choose him over Clinton.

  Like Brian says , vote

  Like Brian says , vote for the least stinky, but I must add, That can actually WIN.

Voting for the best is usually a wasted vote, and helps put your worst in office. The whole voting system needs a modern overhaul. First choice, second choice etc etc.

The government as a rule wants us to be afraid. Terrorism is a small worry. More people die every year from hospital mistakes alone. Dying from tripping and hitting your head as well, etc etc .....

Obama seems to be the most peace oriented. 

McCain is a war monger. 

Why are we not asked to vote on issues every few months ? WE are a stupid  america .... and a stupid world. Who is proud YET ????

second that. people like Bush crave the indifference of the disenfranchised independent/democrat, because their loyal sheep base will go out to vote year after year as long as their candidate simply declares himself a "man of faith" with "strong conservative values".

i'm pulling for obama. screw all the "not enough experience" spin coming from mccain and hillary, cheney and rumsfeld had the most experience the white house has seen in the last 50 years and look at the mess they made.

I'm north of the American

I'm north of the American border, but, since the American election gets me all excited anyway:

I think I'd vote McCain. He's a reasonable human being, he concedes good points to people he argues with, and frankly, once upon a time he took trip into the not-so-magical world of warfare and saw/experienced the horrors of it firsthand. So he knows what he's committing to when he declares war.

I haven't heard how preachy he is (...which sort of speaks for itself); what's his religious stance like (I assume he's Christian)? Sucks that all of the candidates can't show themselves as being anything but God-fearing, or they lose the entire bible belt to an opponent.

 

Obama would be next, though Hilary wouldn't at all be far behind. I have a far greater appreciation for her than her husband - though I think the 'greater than thou' mentality is definately a trait that, unfortunately, they both share.

Oh, fuck. And Nader's running again. That guy's persistent if nothing else. Too bad he doesn't have a fucking clue and doesn't give a shit he's splitting the vote for slighty-less-left-wing Democrats.

Perhaps Nader thinks that by running every four years he's bound to get in eventually. Its pretty much why the Liberal Democratic Party exists in Britain, they'll never get in but they still try.

Really, how much further to the left would you prefer a candidate to be ?   ...perhaps someone with views  more similar to Daniel Ortega, Nicolae Ceausescu,  Vladimir Putin.... ?

I'll more than likely vote

I'll more than likely vote for Obama if he gets the nomination.  You know, it's a shame that Obama's been laden with all these unfounded racial and religious stereotypes.
