Who is the best candidate for the 2012 presidential election?

Barack Obama.

If these candidates would just quit SHOUTING, I might be able to pick one of them! I am tired of hearing the same old crap about how they are going to get this country back on track in 2012! We can't afford to WAIT until then! If any of these guys are in office right now, NOW is the time to do something about the sorry state this country is in!! We don't need promises, cos we see how that went with Obama!

These guys have microphones, why do they feel it's necessary to scream into them when addressing the Public! So far, I haven't hard one good thing I could hitch MY wagon to! Their debate didn't impress me one bit! Not ONE of them had the guts to show some spunk. As much as I dislike Palin, she's the only one I would consider! These guys are all too young and inexperienced! How do they think they can do any better than Obama??? They would have to deal with these ruthless foreign entities, be able to stand firm on OUR cultural beliefs, they don't show USA any latitude when we go to their countries, so why the Hell should we!! They can practice whatever religion they want to, but the line must be drawn when they try to impose their laws into our Society! Actually, it isn't the President who runs the Government, it's the guys in Congress, if we don't have a good administration, we will do down the drain! The choices we make start in our own States, the Governors, the Senators, right down the line. These are the guys we should be careful who we choose!

Ron Paul ALL THE WAY!!! not that he's THAT good but he's one of the only sane candidates... but a lot can happen between now and the election and the REAL debates haven't started yet. At the very least Mit Romney, even though he's a Mormon :P

Americans would actually have to know what the Founders preached. They'd actually have to read what the Constitution says.

Ron Paul is the closest thing we have to a Founding Father. His views reflect theirs. People that criticize Ron Paul and call him crazy are clearly ignorant when it comes to the greats like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Paine.

By insulting Ron Paul, you are insulting the Founders and the beliefs this country was founded upon.

It's sad to see just how many Americans- on both parties - have no clue what our Founders preached. Ignorance.

Ron Paul

Ron Paul is the only candidate.

Palin (I Would love to see)

Bachmann would be disapointing only because she is my congresswoman and a very good one at that.

Christie is a too green on things. But he is putting it aside to fix the problems with New Jersey before hand. (Very Admirable)

Ron Paul. republican's have alienated him for far too long. He is much in step with many fiscally conservative principles. Don't know if he would survive another 4 yrs. But I would like to see him representing America.

Herman Cain. Very principled man .. Be a great candidate for not giving into pressure.

1 complaint i have is that he doesn't think the Fed should be regulated.

Jon Huntsman can go **** himself along with Mitt Romney.

Restore America Now!

Ron Paul

He is the only candidate commited to ending the wars.

Not a bad choice but I'm still holding out for Chris Christie.

Anyone over Obama.
