Not into Obama, would be into voting for Morgan Freeman, cause he always plays an excellent President in movies. Kind of like Hilllary, but saw a movie where her daughter was President and thought that sound good.
Yeah, I am not that thrilled with the choices that we have for the future President.

I bet if I mentioned “Ron Paul” you could here a pin drop in this comment section?
I completely understand a woman wanting to see a woman President in her lifetime, and the same with Obama and brown skin people!
I like Ron Paul over all the candidates!
I’m from NC and I’ll take Hillary and Obama over that Ambulance chasing Edwards any day!

AMEN Sister.

So… Hillary Clinton came and spoke at my college.
I wasn’t sure who to vote for, kind of like looking at bowls of differently flavored oatmeal, you can’t really get excited about it, but you know you’ll have to pick one before it gets cold and see what kind of good it will do you.

…em… not sure where that came from.

Anyway!

After she spoke, I had no question about who I was voting for – she’s really got a lot of good ideas; realistic ideas that will improve things. Now, if we could get her and Obama on the same bill, preferably with him as her vice president, we’d be allllll set.
Woman in the oval office, brown face at her side.

Go team.

Edwards or Obama over here. I’m not a big fan of Hilary, plus I think she would be shredded by the Republicans if she was nominated.

Thank you for writing this post. I don’t think that Hillary would best represent my views, but part of me still really wants to vote for her because she is a woman. I, too, have dreamed of having a female President since I was young. And I agree that it would open doors “especially in the imaginations of our young girls”. Truthfully, I think it would unlock doors in my own imagination. I need that hope. And I desperately want my daughters to have equal opportunities in the world they grow up in.

It will be interesting to see how this all shakes down. In the end, I will likely vote for the candidate who best represents my views. Still, a woman in the oval office would be so awesome!

I like Edwards, even though hardly anyone else does.

We must have similar political leanings, because I got the same results you did. I also would like a woman president but I can’t vote for Hilary because her platform seems to be “Vote for me: I have a vagina!” I mean, it’s not enough just to be a woman, you have to be the right woman.

I’m not going to vote for Barack Obama because he’s black, I’m voting for him because he instills in me a sort of confidence that he will always do the right thing. I don’t feel that way about Hilary or any of the other candidates.

I love the passion in this post. And I’m sad that there is no clear front runner to pour all of this feeling into. I feel almost the same as you do about the candidates…but I’m far less passionate about the whole thing

I agree with Py Korry. You cant throw away a vote (not implying you were) on someone you dont really believe in, who wont do right by our country. We need a good President for once. We have suffered so long, it needs to get better. But I do wish we had a “white woman or brown face in oval office”. I think it would be a great sign of things getting better in this country, less hate. At least you vote, so many dont, it is truely a shame.

I’m never totally happy with one particular person, so this will be very difficult.

Right now, I’m leaning toward Obama. But that may change as the campaign progresses. It’s one of those things where I have to dig in and figure out who best reflects my political point of view by going to the websites of the candidates (who are in my top 3) and read what they stand for.

Has there ever been a cut and dry person to vote for?

I too don’t know yet, but I feel the pressure to vote for one of the ones with strong support or else I feel like I’m throwing away my vote.

I second that sigh!

I feel exactly the way you do. I love Kucinich; he fights for the things I believe in. I would love to be able to vote for a woman or a black man. Both votes would say that things are so much better than when I was born. I would love to have a woman or a black man president. But I can not bring myself to vote for this woman or this black man in the primary and pray I won’t have to in November.

I don’t follow American politics much, but your post has me thinking. It is difficult when there are so many choices, but then I guess the great thing about democracy is that there ARE choices.
Good luck with your decision. I think it’s great that you’re “thinking about” your vote and support so deeply.

I live in NC and it doesn’t seem the native son Mr. Edwards has a lot of support but then again our state goes Republican. I haven’t made up my mind either.
