Sadly, I had to leave Kucinich out as he's not going to be on the ballot in Texas. Thus, I haven't quite decided who I'm going to vote for.

Since I doubt that Ron Paul will be a viable candidate by the time our primary rolls around, probably Barack Obama.

He might not win, but if Thompson is on a ballot handed to me, he gets my vote.

Is there a reason why you'd make the jump from a constitutionalist to a democratic candidate who wants to do just about the opposite as Paul? Neither Obama nor Clinton look very good and their frenzy during the debate last night gave me a headache. I really wanted to hear what they planned to do, and there was little discussion of it. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Pretty simple, really. I dislike all of the republican candidates other than Paul (well, Thompson may be ok, but he's not a viable candidate either). They're all big government, religious right patsies. Just... no.
Of the democrats, only Obama and Clinton are viable candidates and I will NOT vote for Clinton. The only scenario under which I'd vote for Clinton is if it were her vs. Huckabee in the main election. I haven't watched the debates recently, but I have read about them, and I agree that the mud-slinging is getting obnoxious. -------------------- |

Righto.
 But I don't think either he or Paul are viable. That might change, though. *shrugs*

I think I'm going to end up voting for Obama. His healthcare plan is the one I like the best (although I don't think it's the best).

Honestly, I think the only republican that could win the primary and beat Obama is McCain, and even that would be a very close election. I really do think Thompson still has a chance at the primary, but we'll see. Still lots to go.
