Straw poll

**Cyclonepride** · 08-07-2007, 04:52 PM

Who do you think is the best candidate for president? I had to leave off a couple options, so I guess write it in if you have one not on the list.

All the straws are clogged with political BS and garbage, therefore I can't get any information through them.

Can we throw away all the current straws and get new ones that actually work?

I wish we could! Or put them on a lie detector like they do on that dating show.

I think he could win any and all debates.

I tried to vote for Sam Brownback but he's not on there....

I read all of the names and I am scared..very very scared...

So I'll do it the old fashioned way; "Eenie meanie miney moe, catch a tiger by his toe..."

Ron Paul. Mike Gravel.

The more I read about Duncan Hunter, the more I like. Although he has a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything. Come caucus time, I will vote for whoever I agree the most with and whose ideas I like the most.

Come general election time, I will vote for the lesser of 2 evils (because there is almost no chance a "career politician" does not get each nomination) most likely unless there is a legitimate 3rd party I like.

I voted Fred Thompson because of his fiscal responsibility stance and he is not a career politician.

what's really crazy is how much $$ the top candidates are going to raise and spend between now and november 2008, all just to sling their BS around the media outlets of the country....

good luck to whoever inherits iraq, the war on terror, energy problems, healthcare, china, the environment, illegal immigration, and the country being as divided as ever.... I'm sure I left out some other pressing issues and will be raked over the coals for this one...

...sounds like a great opportunity for someone, so long as they're actually willing to step up to the plate and be a leader.

Really the most dire situations are the best for being remembered for doing great things.

After watching Oprah today (

) I would vote for Al Gore.

I was originally for Sam Brownback, then I read Mike Huckabee's book and became a huge fan of him... then I read Brownbacks book and am now rooting for both of them!

Why is it so hip to make polls private around here? Half the fun is to see who all you idiots vote for. Damn near every poll at CF is private.

**jdoggivjc** · 08-07-2007, 08:08 PM

As far as I'm concerned, Brownback, Huckabee, and Hunter are fairly interchangeable and I would proudly vote for any of them for President. Something tells me, however, that I won't have that option.

It is interesting how Hillary is viewed by the national media as the next president, but yet she can't even make the top five in our little unscientific poll. Is her candidacy really as strong as we are being led to believe?
