    I'm a member of the libertarian Party.

    My top issue in this election is the economy (how we will manage the debt and China's rising power)

    My top 2 candidates are Ron Paul and whoever the libertarian party nominee will be.

    Gay marriage is the least important issue to me

    The war and the economy are my biggest issues - and they are intertwined due to the high cost of the war.

    My top two are Obama and McCain. But Im flexible as long as its not: Clinton, Thompson or Paul.

    Least important issue? Not sure. Probably overturning Roe V Wade. Lot of people vote for candidates just because of the abortion issue. Sad considering how many Americans are dying in Iraq.

    1. Economy (& as it relates to taxes, healthcare & higher education - emphasis on the middle class)

    2. Foreign Policy (& as it relates to the war & reestablishing our diplomatic standing w/ the world)

    3. Immigration (& the establishment of a committed policy that works to safe guard our country from terrorist threat, does not deplete our economy with the strain of ILLegals who do not contribute to our country in any way & does not discourage LEGAL immigration & is humane)

    No least important for me, but could go on under "of concern" ;)

    Candidates under consideration: Paul, McCain, Clinton, Obama

    Scary candidates: Huckabee (like his tax reform ideas - but can a baptist minister be trusted to honor sep. of church & state AND how on earth could he state that he supports the writer's strike and then claim ignorance about xrossing the picket line for the Leno show....advisors should be really reamed for that one), Romney (same old GOP absolutes w/ little understanding of the "average" folk...who, for example, want to pay for healthcare, but even when they do buy plans get socked w/ exorbidant premiums and deductibles that place them in the uneasy position of being 1/healthcare crisis away from bancruptcy.)

    Guys, be real! I am an outsider looking at your candidates, I think Obama is leading because of the voters who want to vote for him went to vote. Thats why he is leading. But lets face it guys whether you like it or not, majority of the voters in the USA are still white and black/hispanic/asian and etc are still the minority. These white folks will not VOTE to a person whose name they can't even pronounce. Thats why if he will fight with a any candidate of the Republican who is white, HE WILL LOSE the election.
