This is an internet forum. Ron Paul will win.

Right. I just want to see how different the outcomes are from last month, if they are at all.
If I could vote for 2 the other would be Ron Paul. He reminds me of a modern day Andrew Jackson because of his madness.

Don't vote. That is the Gah option. Or vote for someone who you think will lose.

If Thompson were to drop out after NH, do you have any ideas about who you would shift your votes to?

Mike Gravel. But if he dropped out AFTER New Hampshire, my vote would already be cast.

Really? You think that a guy who filed for bankruptcy in 2004 should be elected to figure out our financial mess?

I was being facetioius. I'm not sure where, but I made my thoughts known on our friend from Alaska in one of these election threads.
Honestly, I don't really know. I'd probably have to bite the bullet on the personal liberties issue and pick Rudy.
I say that because Romney's attacks, after telling everyone for the past year he was running on his own record, have me seriously questioning what he really stands for.
McCain, beyond the reasons I've cited, has too dangerous a temper to give him launch codes.
And Huckabee... well, I think he'd 'care' a lot. And if we needed a National Guidance Counselor, he'd have my vote. But it's clear he doesn't understand macroeconomics when you hear about his trade policies. And this is from a man that ISN'T trying to win the Union vote.
Honestly, the more I look, the more I like Bill Richardson. If I could get him to drop the 'surrender in Iraq, right now' position, he'd have my vote. And I strongly suspect he's playing to the Left wing of his party, that's he's too shrewd to surrender and run out of the country, though I do think he'd start actively withdrawing, which I'm also opposed to.

What about the abortion issue? Not one of the democratic candidates has even a middle ground opinion on that. I understand the idea of a strong economy. That's why I won't vote for Huckabee, but if you do honestly believe that Abortion needs to be limited at least as much as is politically possible, how can you cast your vote behind someone who doesn't for a second believe in even a middle ground on the issue. Biden is the only one to approach a sensible position on the matter. How can they all have a 100% rating by NARAL? They are the extremists and I find that to be an inhumane, abhorrent and un-democratic position.
Allowing them to believe for a second that they can count on my vote simply because the GOP failed is a crime.
I believe you to be more "pro-life" than "pro-choice". If you believe that abortion is state allowed (and sometimes sanctioned) murder, how can you turn a blind eye on it for a second. The ability to overlook such a travesty calls into question the strength of the pro-life position. If a foetus is a human life that deserves rights, it cannot be overlooked.
I just want abortion laws to AT LEAST resemble those in Europe and allow for our conscience to move us to end the travesty once and for all when we are ready to do so. A mainstream election without a candidate that represents that sentiment is a joke.
I really think that Romney was the true center-right candidate in this election. I wish that he pushed himself in that direction during the run-up to the caucus.
