Who will be the next President?

I voted for who I thought would WIN the election, but not necessarily who I will vote for... I wonder if the poll would be different if we asked "who are you planning to vote for this fall?"

honestly, the fact that Obama doesn't have as much "experience" is refreshing to me. hell, look where "experience" has got us thus far. having been in politics for your whole life isn't necessarily an appealing thing to me - it just means you've got too many ties, and too many obligations.

and that's one nice thing about this country, technically, those people on that list DO have a chance to win! i realize it's not realistic, but at least they're getting out there and giving it their best! (I actually didn't even look at who was on the list!)

ok, off to the gym ... I can't wait to see how this takes off!

Speaking of having 'experience'...what was the name of that movie with the comedian (Robin Williams,I think) becomes President by mistake I saw it a while back, very funny satire about politics.

I'm not sure who will win, but I am supporting Obama this year.

I like Hillary Clinton. I read her autobiography and came away feeling impressed with her toughness (in a good way) and her commitment to women’s and children’s issues. She’s smart and savvy and her very detailed proposals display her impressive grasp on policy issues.

However, I’m looking for more in a president than great policy positions. I’m unconvinced that Hillary can really move America forward. It sounds like an Obama-sponsored talking point, but I am really ready for a change.

I think Obama is bold, honest, real, inspiring, visionary, fresh, and (I hope) transformative. People are aching for that kind of leader. He can bring people together to solve the real problems that we face: ending the war, getting off of oil dependency, and investing in health care and education. He inspires hope in young people and independents, and even some of my die-hard Republican friends would consider voting for him. Would they vote for Hillary? No way. Especially not against John McCain.

For me, it’s a little bit of a gut feeling (I can’t help but feel hopeful deep down when I hear him give a speech) and a little bit pragmatic (I think he has a better shot at beating McCain).
