Who would YOU vote for if the up-coming presidential primary elections were held tomorrow?

This is for persons age 18 and over, and citizens of the U.S. PLEASE do not answer this Q. with: "IDK" or "I'm not voting", or some other dumb answer. And, I'll repeat: Who would YOU vote for--from the list of all candidates running for President on both the Republican & Democrat line-up. You may choose only one--or, one from each party. Since this seems to be such an extremely wide-open race, I'm asking this Q. just out of my own curiosity. Thank you.

Update:

So far---THIS IS AMAZING! And, PLEASE, people--STOP checking the tunmbs down--there is NO right or wrong answer on this one! Stay tuned--I will post the candidate(s) with the most votes later today or early tomorrow. GREAT response on this one, thank you!

    I live in Ames, Iowa, so I am in a unique position compared to many other voters. I don't have a primary, I have a caucus, and if my preference group is too small, specifically, less than 15%, I must either go to another preference group, or go home.

    My first perference group will be Cong. Duncan Hunter. However, unlike the Paullites, I know that 2% in the polls means that his group will not be viable. However, he is still my preference group. After his group is dissolved because it is not viable, meaning 15% of the voters, my next preference group will be Mike Huckabee.

    That all being said, there is more than a few instances where I can justify voting for Obama in the general election. WHAT?!?!?! That's HERESY for a Republican, a REAGAN Republican, to vote for someone like Obama. To an extent, I agree. However, I believe that Obama wants to lead. I believe that he has a vision and thinks he knows how to get there. Too many Republicans just want to be the leader-guy, not be a leader. I would rather be lead down the road to the gates of hell than just wander around and find myself there. I respect Obama because while I feel that we would be lead down the road to the gates of hell, he will be the one knocking when we get there, as opposed to blaming someone else for getting us there. For a military man, there is an amount of respect that comes from wanting to lead, even if it gets me killed, as opposed to getting me killed because he needs a diversion.

    Hillary. And expect a lot of ranting against Senator Clinton from Obama supporters that are probably not even old enough to vote in the first place. Plus, I think they have this election confused with the MTV Grammy Award.

    I would vote for Hillary Clinton. I think it is time for a change and she is just the person to do it.

    Not only does she have political experiance she has experiance of being in the White House. Although she was just the first lady she was subjected to what goes on in the role of a president. I feel she is the best prepared to handle our country!!!

    Obama or Hillary.

    I trust Obama. I think he'd make an excellent president. Not only for himself, but for potential black presidents in our future.

    As for Hillary, that woman is smart! She would make changes, and she's not lazy.

    I just dont trust any religious conservatives. I think that causes more wars. I wont vote republican, that's for sure!
