Candidates?

Who do you think will win the primaries?
Who are you hoping will win? I thought a
more light hearted debate free from
abortion, homosexuality, war, and religion
might be refreshing, but...wait....oh
well.

I am ashamed to say that I don't even know
the candidates...
It's from apathy and lack of time. These
days, I feel like anyone who runs for
office has motives that suck.
Vote Green in '08! (If the candidate
doesn't suck, that is.)

I would be green if I had faith that the
republicans wouldn't throw the vote again.
But right now I'll do anything to get them
out of office.
I heard Obama speak a long time ago and
was sold on him right away. Have you read
any of his books? He brings a passion and
zeal to the political world that I thought
didn't exist anymore.
I don't even care if he's faking it, it
inspires me.

didn't like him so much.

Although I would love to see a woman in
office, i just don't think Hillary can
swing it. And I don't know if she's the
right one for the job anyway. Although
she has experience, she is too sold out
for my tastes.
I agree that Obama is very inspiring. I
would really like to see an Obama/Edwards
ticket.

I think alot more people would be Green if
they knew what the platform was.
I'm sick of the two party system. It will
never change until people support a 3rd
party!
Man, Al Gore should most certainly be a
Green and run.

I've always thought a triumverate would be
a better way to lead the country.
Republican, Democrat, and alternative
candidates working all together.
Al Gore just won the Nobel Peace Prize. I
wish he would run. I thought he was going
to announce that at the Academy awards
last winter, but they just kept joking
about it...

No I totally agree, the two party system
blows. I might vote for Al if he ran green
party- if I thought there was a good
chance. I love him.

There will never be a good chance unless
we vote for the third party.

I know that, but I'm gun shy. Don't want
another disaster like the last two, you
know?

It's all the same to me if Demos or Repubs
take the crown.

I wish we could put them in order of
preference. They do that in other
countries. But then they usually have like
5 parties to pick from.
So I could say, "I'll take the green
candidate first. If he has no chance, I
want the democrat, and under no
circumstance do I want the
republican....."
 Then if the green
guy really doesn't have a chance, my vote
will still matter. I think not only would
this cause the pres to actually be the guy
that the majority wanted, but it would
cause people to not be so afraid to vote
for the underdog.

Al Gore just got the Nobel Peace Prize for
championing Global Warming this morning. I
guess that means Global Warming really
exists finally!! No WAY people can deny it
now. Perhaps something will finally get
done about it?

I am all for a third party. I like the
Green party; I learned alot about it after
I moved to Maine. Last election I fully
joined the Green Party.
