Huckabee & Obama won

according to the AP

there is no way Huckabee should be President, so if Obama gets the nomination (which it's not in stone or anything) then I will be voting for him.

Noone is going to tolerate Huckabee.

My parents LOVE Huckabee. They even have his bumper sticker on their car. He's got the far right wingers in the bag. Basically, the same people who still support Bush will vote for Huckabee. Not so sure how well he's going to do with the moderates.

I'm an Obama girl all the way. Have been since before he ever decided to run for president.

I would rather have McCain than Huckabee, McCain is really the only Republican besides Ron Paul that I could ever vote for... lucky for me I don't have to vote for either of them though.

I find it funny that Clinton came in third though

I think a contributing factor to that (though certainly not the ONLY factor) is that America is very ready for a change..
We've had nothing but Bushes and Clintons in the White House since 1989....

That's a pleasant surprise - I was expecting Hillary to win. Obama's alright, but I'm really happy that Edwards is still in the race.

While I agree with that, I think the main thing is that she is so wishy washy on her beliefs. It seems that she just likes to agree with everyone and please them and not take charge.

IMO, she makes a good senator, but I doubt she would make a good president. I would like Bill to be the First Lady though....

Go McCain or Ron Paul!

Well, that is the main thing with anyone objecting to her winning the presidency--she changes sides more often than she changes pantsuits, adjusting her beliefs according to the market.

Regardless of any of the candidates.......

This election has the chance of making or breaking the issue of vote counting fraud and security...

A series of videos with credible interviews on the issue from the last election:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6

The far right isn't going to be allowed into the office this term. The country has had enough of it.

BINGO! She is a panderer and the American public sees that. Just like Mitt on the (R) side. People see fake and it turns them off. If she doesn't come in first or second in New Hapshire she may not get the nomination.

I hope so, but I was also sure that no one in this country would be stupid enough to vote for Bush the second time around.
