So Barak Obama (D) won the Iowa Caucus and so did Mike Huckabee (R). Who are your candidates and why?

Mine is Obama. He's the only one I want to vote for at this point. As a resident of NY I cannot and will not vote for Guliani!

There are no candidates worthy of my vote.

Ron Paul supports economic oppurtunity. I want to vote.

I don't approve of hardly anything Guiliani is for, but Obama I can agree with. I've also listened to Obama speak, and the greatest thing is how religious Obama is, yet how tolerant he is. I was won over by a speech I heard him give in a cathedral. He was preaching tolerance and acceptance. It shocked and amazed me. You're taken in by how he speaks. He's incredibly enthusiastic. He's also honest, which is something we desperately need.

Yeah, they all talk the talk like prim and proper politicians.

I think Obama has it in the bag, honestly. The lesser of two evils, I suppose, since there is no third evil to choose.

Kucinich I think would do the most to reform the country to a more humanitarian state, but I am certain he will not be elected. Pity, really. I'm all for a woman president, but I wouldn't elect Hillary at this point. Too bad we can't go back in time and elect the Hillary that campaigned with Bill during his first run for presidency. That hillary had a hatful of brilliant ideas about universal health care which were, of course quickly squelched by the lawmakers who are on the payroll of insurace and drug companies.

I'm not completely sure yet because I've only been exposed to a limited view of the candidates, but so far Obama is my choice. Hilary Clinton quite literally scares me. I don't want to imagine our country with her in office.

I love obama. Hillary would be my next, but I'm not a huge fan.

I want someone who's not named Bush or Clinton, and preferably not from Arkansas or Texas, or from the south at all.

Why don't any northerners run?

It's hard because they all start out honest and promise things that never usually happen once they get in.. And they start changing things they said before they were elected..

I too like Kuchinich. He is the only candidate that supports gay marriage. However, living 30 minutes from Cleveland, Kucinich gets a really bad wrap.


Obama will probably take my vote, even if you can see the cheese through his smile. Breaking the racial barrier would be quite a feat, and one that I'd love to see done.

I had nothing to do with that, for the record.

I think I am leaning toward Obama. I'm interested what the next few weeks will bring. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a woman prez, but I am not certain Hillary has much estrogen left in her veins.

Vote Green! Show support for a multiple party system; nothing will change unless the people make it happen!

I am very impressed with how involved people are getting in this election. It makes me so excited to see voter turnout up from the last couple of elections.

Obama inspires me, and that's important. Inspirations has been lacking in the American Political System. If I was American, I'd vote for him. I like John Edwards, too, but I feel like he's yesterday's news, I guess.

Huckabee scares me... nice guy, but he's letting his religion dictate his policy for everyone, Romney looks like he wears dirty underwear, and McCain, like Edwards, feels washed up. (I'd never vote republican, so, though these reasons aren't really legit, they're so allowed).
