As the 2008 Presidential election draws nearer a large number of folks on both sides of the aisle are announcing their desire to hold that office. I've listed 7 folks from each major party- who would you ideally like to vote for? If your person isn't listed then tell us about them and tell us how to find out more about them.
Many people seem to think that this next election will be one of the most crucial in US history- any thoughts? Anyone you are afraid to have win? Any candidates that you see as being able to bridge the gap between Democrats and Republicans?
UPDATE- as candidates drop out of the race they will be dropped from the poll |

Maybe they could both make a "mistake." |

LOL. Good idea! I think an awful lot of people would be really happy if he made another "mistake" while on that trip. |

Yeah he did, and looked about as good as Dukakis did riding around in that tank. BTW, - that post was supposed to be "You know she's desperate when she fondly remembers hunting etc." |

When will they learn? Didn't John Kerry try the hunting thing, to everyone's dismay, 4 years ago? |

For what it's worth, I WILL NOT vote for Hillary either. If not Obama, then McCain, illogical as that sounds. At least his press conferences would be lively. |

There are definitely more Republicans on this board than Democrats, but I love them anyway. 
I'm not really thrilled with any of the candidates, but I WILL NOT vote for McCain and I WILL NOT vote for Hillary. I guess that I will vote for Obama and that is said without much enthusiasm. 
Love,
Kay |

I can't find the link, - but a day or two ago, someone in Hillary's campaign said SHE WAS going to be the party's pick, even if it took using the "super-delegates" vote to do it.

We still use paper ballots here in MN. We connect 2 dashes to make a line with a marker next to the name of our candidate and feed it into an optical scan machine on the way out the door. I am really scared of the idea of voting without a paper ballot. It seems that it would be too easy to manipulate the vote without a hard copy to verify results.
As to the lack of Republican votes by mohicanlanders on this poll I have to state that I have been removing candidates as they drop out and as I remember a lot of mohicanlanders had voted for Romney and Giuliani. I can in see why McCain, Huckabee and Paul are not receiving a lot of backing. McCain pisses off hardcore conservatives with his campaign finance reform and environmental positions(that's just for starters), Paul is too far out and offers a bitter pill to his party, Huckabee is great with people but his religious views and financial policy are too extreme for some.
I support Obama and was happy to cast my vote for him the day I created this poll. If he does not receive the nomination I will not vote for Hillary. I will either abstain or vote for a third party. Hell, I'd vote for McCain before I'd vote for Hillary. I take that back- that whole we're gonna be in Iraq for the next century thing he's floated doesn't work for me. |

Well since I am not a Citizen and therefore cannot vote in the election,I did not vote in this thread but since you mentioned it, my hubby will be voting for McCain so I just voted for him on here as well and I would too if I could. |

I recall marking more than one paper ballot -- and yes, I do mean in different years!
Thrilled as I am to see other Obama voters on this website, I find it hard to believe that the poll as it now stands is representative of Mohicanland. Methinks many of the more conservative citizens of this realm have not yet voted. |

Yep! Me too. I vividly remember my first time out voting. I had to mark a paper ballot. |

There will come a day, nativedoll, when you'll never wish to be one minute older than you already are, so stop complaining and just enjoy being 17. |

One year.
Now, I have to wait four more.

Well, now that it is down to The Final Four candidates, I have cast my vote. Unless something changes my mind, I will have to go with John McCain. |

I've been forced to read and hear way too much about Kucinich since we've been up here in Cleveland for almost the past three weeks. He's the area congressman and facing (rightly so) a lot of vicious attacks as the congressional elections get going. The one biggest question I have...where in the world did he get his wife? Has anybody seen her? She looks like a supermodel. Seeing them together is a little like watching a slightly demented leprechaun walking next to Lady Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings... |
