Tomorrow is primary day here in NH. Who should I vote for and why?

Update:

Hillary, Barack, Rudy, and Mitt were never even considered. I'll have to look at Huckabee. I'm leaning toward Gravel or Paul. I like their positions on taxation.

  • Vote for Obama. He is the one with the brains. That will be the most important change in Washington.

    He also has good judgment. Read and reread his statement on Iraq in 2003. Judgment beats experience every time. And he has more experience than Lincoln had going into the White House.

    Like Lincoln, he will surround himself with people that disagree with him. He will listen to everybody and talk with anybody, including world leaders we don't like.

    I don't agree with his statements on health care and Iraq, but I believe he will reconsider and make the best decision. He is a pragmatist, the Anti-Bush.

    I'll give you some tips and you decide. If there is someone you really want to stop from being president the vote for the other person who has a chance. If you just want to vote on principle vote for Ron Paul. And Obama is the only candidate who no one knows what he stands for and has done nothing, so if you just want to take a risk go with him.

    I would vote for Ron Paul, but I don't presume to tell you to vote for him as well. I would recommend reading up on him, and see if he's something you could support. If not, I won't hold it against ya!

    I blew him off at first, but he's just different enough from everyone running, that it seems he represents real change. This "change" word is being overused, often inappropriately, so hopefully people can see through the BS. Good luck!

    Vote for the candidate that best matches your views.

    My personal choice is Congressman Paul. He is the most intelligent, compassionate, consistent & authentic man running. He will end the war in Iraq (phased redeployment, while securing stability in the country as we bring our troops home), lower taxes for middle class families by restraining government spending & returning to fiscal responsibility, balance the budget, secure borders & end amnesty for illegals, reform health care making it affordable, reliable & available, ensure that all veterans receive the benefits they have earned & the assistance they need.. He’s genuinely for a transparent government that looks out for our well being not their own self interests!

    Democrats no. "Undeclared" voters can. about 40-one% of latest Hampshire voters are undeclared, meaning they could declare themselves Republican, or Democrat on the polling position, vote for this reason, then "undeclare" themselves at the same time as they walk out.

    Here are some "avoids"

    Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY): In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, an ethics complaint was filed against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again). And Hillary’s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme.

    Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R-NY): Giuliani came under fire in late 2007 after it was discovered the former New York mayor’s office “billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses amassed during the time when he was beginning an extramarital relationship with future wife Judith Nathan in the Hamptons…” ABC News also reported that Giuliani provided Nathan with a police vehicle and a city driver at taxpayer expense. All of this news came on the heels of the federal indictment on corruption charges of Giuliani’s former Police Chief and business partner Bernard Kerik, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to accepting a $165,000 bribe in the form of renovations to his Bronx apartment from a construction company attempting to land city contracts.

    Governor Mike Huckabee (R-AR): Governor Huckabee enjoyed a meteoric rise in the polls in December 2007, which prompted a more thorough review of his ethics record. According to The Associated Press: “[Huckabee’s] career has also been colored by 14 ethics complaints and a volley of questions about his integrity, ranging from his management of campaign cash to his use of a nonprofit organization to subsidize his income to his destruction of state computer files on his way out of the governor’s office.” And what was Governor Huckabee’s response to these ethics allegations? Rather than cooperating with investigators, Huckabee sued the state ethics commission twice and attempted to shut the ethics process down.

    Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.
