I've been rootin' for Rudy, even though a win seems less likely for him each day. The biggest thing that impresses me about him is when he was mayor, he hosted a radio call in show. He wanted to talk directly with his constituents. He wanted to directly know what is on their minds, and how they wanted their city ran. He truely has my respect for that alone.
Also, he ran NYC, and did a good job doing it. That is REAL experience. I know the guy has had personal speed bumps, but so does almost everybody. It doesn't take away from his abilities as a potential president.

I want Obama in the White House. I think its time for a change from the Clinton/Bush political monopoly that has been in place since 1982 when Bush senior was vice president under Regan. We need new ideas and ways of thinking. A Candidate that can not just handle the future, but run with it. I believe we need a President that can get out off bed with Big Business and embrace some of the new technologies already being implemented all over the world. But hey, when we currently have a president who is going to "invest" millions of dollars into Ethanol (a more costly source of energy than gasoline), we'll not only settle for someone other than him, but someone polar from him.

Off topic, but Ethanol is the most likely future fuel source. Specifically Celluloid ethanol. Grow grass for fuel! Hydrogen suffers from the problem that it takes more energy to create hydrogen than you get from the hydrogen.

there is also no other candidate that is as far out of touch with the American public as well. This guy has never worked a hard day in his whole f...ing life. how can we expect him to fix the economy when he has never had to work the jobs that comprise it?

Obama is my choice. Edwards and McCain are "ok", but I would really prefer Obama.

There are a lot of gullible people in America, so you could be right.

Ron Paul is my first choice, but he won't win. John McCain would be next. I don't know after that, but definitely not Clinton, Edwards, or Huckabee.
