I like Barrack Obama because of the whole bunch of them he's the only human who has a chance of being elected. He's actually the person he is on the stump, which is amazing. I don't agree with a lot of his policies, but he is centrist if you read between the lines, more so than Hillary would be in office, I think.
In the end, I think Rudy wins a "lesser of two evils" squeaker against Hillary, and the collective brains of DailyKos, Focus on the Family, MoveOn and the Southern Baptist Convention explode everywhere.
All 500 of them.

I have the same thoughts on Obama, although I need to read up more on his policies. I also think it would be a huge positive step if this country elected a black person, although I'm not sure he can beat Hilary in the primary.
I cannot bring myself to vote for Hilary for a multitude of reasons, but I do think she is a smart, formidable politician, who has successfully made her on mark apart from Bill.
Rudi is the only one on the GOP side I could vote for, but something about him is just not presidential. But his positions are mostly closely aligned with mine of all those in the race.
I think McCain is basically a well-intentioned idiot.
Huckabee strikes me as a charlatan.
