I like several things about Mr. Obama, and for the most part, I think he would make a great President if given the chance. He's got charisma, he's intelligent as all hell, and he seems to have a pretty firm understanding about most of the important issues home and abroad, and what he could do appeal to all parties. Sadly, at least at the moment, Hillary is more noticeable to the liberals voters and representatives...due in part to her radical ideas, her superior fundraising figures and the amount of money she has available to contribute to her campaign, and that damned annoying cackle/hyena laugh of hers...:cursing:

But I highly doubt that I'd vote for either of them, because I'm a fairly conservative voter. I'm not an Evangelical "holier than thou" conservative - I can't stand Bush or his administration - but, nevertheless, I am a moral and a fiscal conservative. And like many conservatives, I'd like to see Ron Paul's name get mentioned a little bit more in the mainstream media, though, I'm not sure how much of a contender he'll be. Based on what I know about Dr. Paul now, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. I admire his willingness to defend the 2nd Amendment for law abiding Americans, while at the same time making it more difficult for firearms to get into the hands of the wrong people - i.e. kids, violent criminals, illegal immigrants, terrorists, etc. I like his stance on immigration reform, his opinion that the government should interfere far LESS in the personal lives of citizens, his opposition to the Iraqi war...and, of course, his positive stance regarding the benefits of medicinal and industrial marijuana!

I'm not a huge fan of Giuliani, I really don't know enough about Mitt Romney to make an informed decision, and I can't remember whether or not McCain is even a Republican anymore...

Luckily there's still plenty of time to find out more about the candidates and their policies before the primaries. I think it would be a trip to see Paul for President, and Obama as vice-President! I won't be holding my breath until it happens, but I think it would be fun to see.
