Obama. No question at all. Unless someone less frightening comes along on the other side, I'll likely feel obligated to volunteer my time for the Obama campaign.

Obama, there is no way I would vote for one of those other clowns. If I had to choose one of the other (if Obama had done a bad job or something) than I would go with Paul, but some of his social views are not in line with my beliefs at all. IF he changed hi view to support gay marriage as Obama has, than he would be a good contender.

answers from Pittsburgh on

Obama, of course. No doubt, no hesitation.

The Republicans just don't have anyone I would even consider voting for.
All of the people saying anyone but Obama need to seriously think about that and the ramifications. I think their performance thus far will make it very hard for any Republican to vote party lines in the next Presidential election. (With a straight face at least!)

Mom2KCK--you're entitled to your opinion. As am I. But the debates certainly have been entertaining--in an embarrassing way for the Republicans, unfortunately!

answers from Dallas on

Most certainly NOT BO

Still undecided because I don't believe any of the candidates or BO are qualified.

I do like some of what Cain and Gingrich have to say. Actually, I don't like him but Gingrich is probably the most qualified. Either way, it WILL NOT be BO

answers from Charlotte on

I'm not voting for those who want to give banks free rein to blow up our banking system again. Even though Dodd-Franks is watered down and imperfect, it's better than nothing. That means I'll be voting for Obama.

Sorry - I included a reason why, didn't I. Well, I can't help it, but I was nice and didn't throw potshots.

Smiles!

answers from Washington DC on

No freaking way I can or will vote for Obama. There is a reason his initials are B.O.!! To be honest - I would LOVE it if Hillary (gasp!!!) would throw her hat in. She's done a good job as Sec State...while I don't see eye-to-eye with her, I wanted her over any of other candidates.

Still undecided on the others. You may not want the WHY - but it helps in understanding someone's point of view....

Cain has come to the table with ideas and a plans - may not be the best but - really - and the liberal media are doing a great smear campaign on him so that sucks. To be honest - I don't believe the accusations...they took too long to come out and have high priced lawyers and one even filed ANOTHER harassment suit a few years after that...

Romney - no thank you.

Perry - not bad but not there.

Gary Johnson has some great ideas as well but the liberal media seems to want to decide who gets air time and who doesn't....like they get to make the choice...

Ron Paul is a GREAT candidate...however, he scares too many people because he really wants to go back to the Constitution and can't be bought....he really does work for the people...

answers from Washington DC on

Whoever runs against Obama.

This country CANNOT survive another term of his socialism. He is a horrible person and this country has never been divided like it is now, thanks to Obama.

I can only pray that people open their eyes and see what Obama has done...he is ruining us!! Other countries are making a mockery of us because of him. People are dying because of him. He is a horrible, horrible leader and a poor excuse for the person who represents our country. I'm embarassed to see him anywhere on the news in other countries as the person who represents me.

Denise - I think you are completely wrong here. The debates have been entertaining, if that's the right word. However, I would not be embarrassed to have a President who actually has America's best interests at the forefront and not a socialist agenda. Obama has done more damage to this country than any past President and I really feel bad for the people who can't see that.

answers from Dallas on

Not for Obama. Didn't vote for him the last time and definitely won't this time around.

Undecided on the others. I like what Ron Paul stands for but I don't think he has a chance. I like Herman Cain but not sure about his chances either. I'll vote for whomever I feel as the best agenda and plans for this country but also for the one that can get the current pres out office.

I like Cain, he could really fix the country economically. Although I found his princess Nancy comment funny it has made me wonder how he will be diplomatically. I mean I can think of a fair few things I would love to call Putin but I would prefer my president didn't.

Will not be Obama, I didn't vote for him the first time, either. As far as the others I am glad we have time before the primaries and convention to decide...I'm not impressed with any of them enough at this point to cast a vote for any one person. At this point I am leaning toward Bachmann, then possibly Romney, then not sure. Need to get through the holidays before I can wrap myself around this!

I don't like ANY candidate. (Including our current president.) However, if no one else comes forward, I will be forced to vote for the lesser of evils...Obama. Ugh...that's painful for me...I don't approve of his "leadership" so far. The other candidates just scare me more.

Ron Paul.

My biggest concern is his age, so I would hope for a very strong running mate.

PS: I hope people will dig deeper on his ideas pertaining to elderly, children and minorities. I would *not* believe sound bites. I personally will not vote for anyone who I believe would be bad to any of these groups on purpose.

answers from Richmond on

Most of the time I like what Ron Paul has to say but then there are those moments when I wish he would shut up and crawl under a rock - LOL! Seems like we have a lot of those candidates - on both sides - these days. I voted for Obama last time but haven't been bowled over by his performance. I believe he's trying but not focusing on what I would focus on. Also question his advisers - seems like he is getting a lot of ineffectual static from them - esp. when it comes to economic policy. Don't feel we'd have been better off with McCain though honestly. Seriously considering voting for Romney. Not a fan of Mormonism (don't shoot me - I have a right to my opinion) but he is an actual businessman and I think he honestly can see both sides of the coin and does what he believes is best for everyone - not just for his election/re-election (as indicated by his healthcare plan in MA). We need a statesman who understands that running this country successfully is like running a successful business - not just another blowhard politician who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk!

Hmmm...read more answers below so I feel I need to add 1 thing - for those who are blaming Obama for bringing "socialism" to our door, you need to stop and look around at your neighbors! WE are bringing it on ourselves b/c everyone in this country has decided they are too good to work but that their every desire should be met courtesy of a handout! If everyone is on the dole and getting cared for by the government, that, my friend, is socialism and we are bringing it/allowing it ourselves by being so darn lazy!!!

answers from Seattle on

I am currently researching Ron Paul.

He is getting my interested wheels turning.

If it were between Obama and ANY other of the Circus.....Then It would be Obama hands down. Because I do not believe Feeding more money into a Corporate gov't system (which is how I interrupt the others campaign's)is the direction we need to keep treading.

With Obama I at least feel safe in knowing the Public Safety net will not be removed completely leaving us to fend for ourselves. There are too many people suffering at this point in my mind to pull that trigger. The would completely wipe out the middle class. And if you are not already feeling it, believe me, four years from now, you will be where we are now. And we will be dead. That is a very gruesome analogy ...but a very true one, given I have seen first hand the state some of the 14 million out of work are in.

So Support any one of them threatening or talking about getting rid of it...Would not be voted into office. It would be a Public safety issue.

Obama has got a long road to walk, patching the wounds of the broken promises. He is showing some final good faith. While other deceiving demon still follow him.

I can see where people dislike him.

I can see where people dislike Obamacare. I have been educating myself on this. You would be surprise what a little research and NO MEDIA BIAS OPINIONS will pave way too.

Some of the very things I once screamed off at you guys about....I now understand the Opposing side of my views on.

I get what the Tea Party was Protesting about. And had they maybe gotten their message across a bit less Liberal bashing, it may have taken off as well as the Occupy Wall St/Occupy your City movements have. Because they were/are yelling about alot of the same things.

I do not want to Cheer Lead for Ron Paul, but I think he does have alot of good points to be made about how things need to be FIXED.

And that is really what I think 2012 needs to be about. Is not HOW CAN WE PUT A BAND AID ON OUR ECONOMY FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS. We need to start exploring new options for growth and Gov't. Maybe try something we have not done in awhile and Run Off A TRUE DEMOCRACY.

I think before ANYONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HAVE THEIR NAME PLACED ON A BALLOT THEY NEED TO HAVE CORPORATIONS COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM POLITICAL BIDDING.

I do not think we should continue on allowing to let CORPORATIONS run the Banking sector of our Gov't. We were sold to JP MORGAN CHASE, GOLDMANN SAC and a few others in their likeness. We are now living under there law. They are controlling the Politicians which sadly are controlling the Police force. Which then are being told to brutalize, say a 76 year(the age maybe a bit off)old women, out protesting in the streets of Seattle last night. When they were bombarded with Pepper Spray and she was Sprayed in the face. PEACEFUL. SHE WAS PEACEFUL.

My family has seriously discussed moving out of the country if One of the Circus(Paul Excluded)is voted into office.

When you have citizens deciding that they would be better off in one of the other failing systems around the world...You know you have a problems.

And me saying we could move out the country is not outlandish. I have close family(a Cousin who married a Frenchmen,she is about 4 years older then me) that lives in France on an old farm. We have already spoke to them and they have agreed to allow us come live there..and her husband will give him work within the carpentry business he runs. so it may actually be something to help get us out of the situation we are in.

It is a back up plan in case we no longer feel safe here.

It will be an interesting year to say the least:)

For once I am excited to see people response....because ALL Candidates are so up in the air on what they are Promising:)

Kinda makes me feel like we are all completely equal for once because, we really have a giant slate that needs to be rewritten and redefined.

Giant answer for a simple question sorry:)

answers from Atlanta on

I'm not sure who yet. As for the Ron Paul reasons not to vote for him that someone put on this, I read the site. We can all put 10 reasons not to vote for.................. fill in the blank. Obviously you're unaware of why he would do the things he says he would do. I'm not saying I'm voting for him, I'm just sayin'. But even if I did know who I was voting for I would'nt tell anyone, it is a private vote. Apparently everyone still considers themselves free, even those who mention socialism since they're so willing to state their opinion. Thank God and pray we continue to have this and the many other freedoms. Did ya know the government will be taking over the internet come the 20th. Not that they can't get at anything they want now. Not one person mentioned any party except the reps. and dems., why is that. Every election there are at least 15 or 20 other party members running yet no one hears about them, why? Isn't this the land where "anybody could grow up to be president." I know the answers and I know eveyone says well they can't win anyway, but that's not the point. I do know one thing everyone needs to think on what is truly best for everyone and I'm not talking socialism. We need someone that actually cares about this country and is bold enough to straighten things out. No one will please everyone. It took everyone to get us in this situation and it's going to take everyone to get us out of it. Your vote is your voice, use it wisely. If you really knew what was going on you'd be horrified.
