So who do you think will be the next president of the USA?

....and with that said...who do you WANT to be the next president?

Of course I respect the secret ballot process...this is only directed at those who feel comfortable answering....

Re: So who do you think will be the next president of the USA?

Right now,

I like Obama and Ron Paul....Ron Paul ran as a Libertarian in 1988 I believe....I like what he has to say about taxes,etc....

Obama, I like him because he keeps it real. He hasn't had a chance to be corrupted by the political system...

Who do I think will win?

Hell...I can't really even answer my own question...there are so many variables at play.

Re: So who do you think will be the next president of the USA?

I dont follow US politics as much as before since moving to Japan. But it is pretty interesting that there is a possibility to see the first African American or female president of the United States. I am very supportive of this so would like to see either Obama or Clinton win.

I'm not really informed on US politics but doesn't the middle of your country vote red? Only the coasts vote blue don't they? Republican's should therefore do pretty well but I don't know who's running. If I had to pick between Clinton or Obama I'd say Clinton would win.

Yeah I am not sure what the consensus really is myself right now...but the thing I like about Ron Paul is his taking a strong stance against the IRS and some of the unconstitutional things it does, yet no one stops them....one day as a full time trader, I will be happy if he is able to make some reforms to their tax structure.

Our elections here in Aus are now set for November 24. Looks like everyone is goin to the polls soon! I'm gonna do the penis vote this year. I hate everyone so my ballot will display a large phallus on it (voting is compulsory here in Aus).

ha ha that sounds pretty funny....

Is that a common practice? The penis vote that is? LOL I guess that would be an effective way to express your dislike for the choice of candidates. LOL
