what democratic or republican candidate are you backing and why?

I'm a Democrat & I'm with Hillary Clinton.

She is the best for the job. She has been on the front line of the White House before, being a first lady and all, and her husband made America a pretty darn good place. She can use advice from him & she will balance our budget again.

Obama is cool too though, but he does not know as much of the White House as Clinton. People will vote for him because he is hot & Oprah is right behind him. Personally, I think Clinton should be President for 2 terms with Obama as her Vice President. After that, they should switch it around so Obama is president for 2 terms with Clinton as his Vice President. That way Obama could learn the ropes of the White House & America would be awesome for 16 years.

Republicans are Brutal Obama has already played all his race cards on Hillary Obama has more problems of electability than anyone because he writes racist books and spent 20 years with a racist as his spiritual leader and was passive about it and id nothing. Obama's best friends are crooks and extremists. Obama does not have solid accvomplismnets to make up the deficit of his mistakes and lack of judgments. Experience Trumps Hype and the Press is less afraid about race now that everyone knows Obama has been so invloved with racists and writes racist books. Besides, people don't have to not want Obama based on his race, when he's never accomplished much change or shown great leadership at 47, it's easy to say, this guy is not ready to be President. It's as siomple as that. Republicans will nail Obama to the wall. Hillary can face McCain and win!!! Obama may be nominated, but he's surly be Democrat loser #3. Hillary is the winner WE need for change we can believe in.

Not Mitt Romney. In Massachusetts, Romney claimed to be tough on immigration, however he waited until he was on the way out the door before he allowed state police the ability to enforce immigration laws, knowing that the new governor would overturn it. Mitt did not need bipartisan support to give the state police the ability to enforce laws and therefore his political move angered many of his supporters who fell for his tough immigration stance. With regards to abortion, Romney claimed to be pro choice when he was running for Massachusetts and there is plenty of evidence to suggest that he was or is - yet he's running on a pro life platform, less than a year later. Romney is also not being truthful about the mandatory health care bill that he stuck us with. Many uninsured have decided to pay the IRS penalty or the new health care insurance tax, I guess it depends on how you look at it. He did nothing to create jobs. I used to like the guy, but now I think he's the biggest phony I have ever laid eyes on.

To tell you the truth, I'm still looking. Lets see, we have 3 democrats whose position is practically the same on everything and then the top 3 republicans are practically the same also. Personally, I don't really like the field we have to choose from. Can we get do overs?

McCain/Huckabee are my choices. Neither one supports the innocent slaughter of the unborn, and McCain has great military and leadership experience. He also knows what it is like to SERVE people. It is about service to People. Hitlary wants US to serve HER agenda. The candidate should be there to serve OUR agenda, not the other way around. Hitler expected his generals to serve him. Hitlary is the same way.

Romney or Huckabee- B/c they both have the views that I am for as well as strong (er) than other republican candidates running in the Republican party-- Im undecisive b/c i have yet to hear more debates...

John Edwards. If I had to pick a Republican, I'd go with Huckabee.

Romney, because I'm in favor of his economic policy (tax cuts, free trade, etc.) and because he's such a successful businessman.

The economy is the number one issue for many people (including me) and I think that the person with BY FAR the most experience/intelligence in economic matters is Romney.

McCain.

He has the courage to stand up to his own political party and has proven his courage and dedication to the welfare of this nation.

He has also been correct about Iraq.

Republican Ron Paul is the only one I'll vote for. He's a true and honest politician; as rare as Palladium.
