Who do you think is the best candidate for 2008?

The next president is certain to be a Democrate, that is pretty much a given. I WANT Hillary to win as I feel she is in the best position to do the best job. However, there really are no bad Dem choices. The things you mentioned - religion, gender, honesty, charisma, and all other "human" and personal aspects are not an issue for me in selecting my candidate, nor do i believe they should be.

Barack Obama is the only candidate out there than can unify America so we can really take care of the issues plaguing America right now. I'm glad many more people are starting to see what I see as Joh Kerry just endorsed Obama. I also give a ton of credit to the Governor of Arizona who just endorsed Obama. She shows women that you don't have to vote for Hillary just because you are a woman. Vote for the best candidate and the better person.

clinton, not for the qualities she possessed but for a change of scenery and environment in US politics. lets try women power for a change...

I think Hillary is the best qualified, based on experience, strength of character and intelligence. However, she is so disliked by conservatives that I'm concerned she may be unelectable running for the White House, and if elected, she'd have great difficulty in overcoming partisan politics; leading to even greater gridlock and waste of tax payers money. If it has to be a GOP president, which I honestly think is likely (their scare tactics based on taxes, terrorism, socialism, declining values, immigration, etc. seem to fool too people into voting out of fear and a bunker mentality) I'd like to see either McCain or Huckabee, given they are a little more liberal than the others. Although I don't particularly like McCain's military-biased foreign policy. I'm beginning to think it will be Huckabee.

Senator Obama hands down! He is different, and doesn't come across as "just another politician". I genuinely think that he is powered by a mission that he believes in his leadership to unite the country and bring about positive changes to do what should be done and what is right.

obama is awesome . im not old enough to vote but if i was i would vote for barack o. i dont care what people say about him , he says what he says and he makes a promise. he doesnt beat around the bush saying 400 things at once..he sticks to his plains and thats what we are all about !!!!!!!!!! go ombama. obama 08 thanks. -Brittney
