Really? I'm looking at the poll and seeing the Obama is the only one that even has more than one vote so far. I'd hardly consider a 2 to 1 vote being a frontrunner when there's only been 7 votes. I don't really know what the poll numbers looked like when you made that comment, but considering there are only 7 votes right now, I think its safe to say you don't know the first thing about statistical analysis.

I voted after the comment was made which evened things out a bit. Prior to my casting my vote none of the Republican candidates had received any votes.
Mitt Romney went into the governorship of a highly Democratic state, and balanced the budget there without raising taxes. Right now, I'd vote for him over any of the other candidates simply based on that.
Last time, I voted Libertarian, knowing that that party's candidate couldn't possibly win. It was kind of like voting for "none of the above", while at the same time saying that we need to cut back the size and power of the federal government. I may be forced to do the same again, depending on who gets the nomination.
If enough voters would join me, we might make some real changes to the federal government.

All I see in this list is a 3 way split to the Democratic vote, and that is exactly how we wound up with a man who can't pronounce the word nuclear running our country.

And, as I've stated in other threads...that's all he did. Yay money...boo transportation and crime. I'm from Massachusetts and having experienced his governorship there both from the liberal standpoint (because of my mother's disease I'm a strong supporter of health care initiatives and our quality of living dropped drastically under Romney) and the conservative standpoint (I live about twenty miles outside of Boston and have many friends who live in the city, who talk about how incredibly awful the transportation mess is and how the city's police department is generally stretched too thinly with too small a budget to adequately deal with the city's many issues) and from both perspectives Mitt Romney was a poor leader.
Ask most people from MA and they'll tell you the same thing: Do not vote for Mitt Romney. Our state hasn't managed to put forward a decent governor in a while and Romney's just another in a growing list of unfortunate politicians with an agenda that doesn't completely match the numerous and diverse issues of government.

Well, it is different now, when i voter, there were two front runners, both democrat.

My point is that to call someone a frontrunner with less than 7 votes in is not statistically sound. Even if its a 1-0 vote, its meaningless at that point.

I guess there is no getting away from argumentative jerks who must have the last word. I didn't even look at the number of votes when i made the first statement, FORGIVE ME FOR LIVING!! YOUR HONOR!!

Where's Kucinich? He may be small but he thinks and speaks big. I wish **cough cough** he'd get equalled coverage. If anything he should at least replace Richardson on the poll.

I wouldn't willingly vote for any of those people. Not one of them is fit to be POTUS.

On the poll I'd vote for Richardson, Giuliani, or Romney.

I want Kucinich to win but unfortunately he won’t so I have to settle for Barack Obama.
It's time to add this guy (http://www.house.gov/paul/) to the list, and maybe even put him at the top!

In the long run, the Republicans are hurting themselves with all this infighting. If they smear each other too much there'll be no one left who looks right for the Presidency by the time the nomination is dished out, and then they're out of luck.
I only caught a little of the debate the other night, but it looked like the Democrats were doing more to keep things light and were mostly attempting to avoid launching direct attacks against each other (except for Edwards' remarks toward Clinton). With the exception of Hillary Clinton, the Dems mostly look like they don't mind the idea of working together (think cabinet positions for those who don't get the nomination - Shaman's idea that Biden might be looking for that more than the actual presidential nomination might not be far off), whereas the Republicans are ripping each other apart.
I think they're hurting themselves a lot with that kind of thing. Anyone else?

I don't know. I think Bill Richardson's comment was apt.

You mean to say that the Libertarians have gone statist along with the Democrats and Republicans? I don't really know the candidate, just looked to see who the Libertarians were likely to run.

Not at all, I'm just talking about the man. I find it very difficult to believe he made a 180* turn overnight. He's gonna have to prove it.

I voted for Obama but now I think he can't take care of all the problems we have. It was a hard choice between him and Hillary. Hillary has a lot more experience but Barack is young and full of ideas. But I think his ideas just are ideas until he gets more experience putting them to work.
I wish we could redo the vote. I guess there's a movement out to write-in Hillary Clinton in the November ballot. Has anyone heard of this?

I find it amusing that any of you think you're voting for anyone.:D Shows a distinct lack of comprehension about how our Presidential election process works.
(BTW, I put in McCain as "none of them" wasn't available)

The way you vote for "none of them", and, at the same time, vote that the government has gotten too big and too expensive is to vote the Libertarian ticket.

No, you still don't get it, YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT. You cast your vote to tell the Electoral College how you would LIKE them to vote, that's all. That's why all of this "popular vote" nonsense they lamestream media keeps harping about doesn't mean anything, and is nothing but a distraction to placate the sheeple. Bread and circuses my friend, bread and circuses.
As to your 'suggestion', considering that the only candidate on the Libertarian ticket (that I'm aware of) is that barking moonbat from Texas, I'd rather stay home.

So has anyone heard of the Write-In Hillary Clinton campaign???

No, but if it really gets going, it should make a McCain victory pretty certain.

Yes, I understand that I don't vote directly for the pres. In fact, we who are fortunate enough to live in th former Bear Flag Republic, now known as the Golden State, really have no vote at all, as about 55% of the voters are Democratic and, therefore, will almost certainly vote that we want our electors to select Obama. That's yet another reason to vote third party, and, if the Libertarian nominee is unsatisfactory, you can still vote for the party secure in the knowledge that the individual will never be elected anyway.
Voting Libertarian is making a statement, even if it isn't a very loud one. Staying home is nothing.
