Which candidate would you vote for, for president, if you had to, had to, had to pick one? (Let's pretend it's a primary where everyone can vote, even non-americans!)

I might vote for Clinton between the 2 if only because she is the more politically experienced. Obama is a fresh face but I would prefer having a politician that has been around a few times.

Something about Obama I like so I would go with him over Clinton.
I guess he has charisma?

Obama has charisma on top of charisma. If he didn't have that then he would never get even looked at. Pretty much though, I had difficulty deciding because on most of the issues I won't side with either. I just wanted to default on something tangible though.

I would projectile vomit on both of them. But Obama isn't as ugly.

It's like asking if you want a hemorrhoid or an ulcer. Both will be painful and bloody.

Obama completely lacks experience, but uhh, considering the current leader-- maybe we need someone not so steeped in family-does-gov't.

Hilary, however, is a floppish, insufferable BLAARGH upon humanity. The only things going for her are Bill, money, and infamy. She constantly switches sides, belittles the wrong people, and stinks of corruption.

I voted for Obama because, even though he lacks experience, at least he has a chance to keep to his own principles. If I had more of a choice, I would pick someone like Richardson or Bayh.

I vote none of them, because Hillary is just some psychotic feminist NWO b***h, and obama, while at first I was interested in his ideas, he plans to take away our right to bear arms. Without this basic right, how would we defend ourselves against an intrusive government should they dcide to take over?

I don't know but I'd swear I've heard a lot of speculation that Hillary will probably run with Obama as her VP. Don't know if that's the case but I think it makes a nice packaged deal and all the more reason to vote absolutely any other way (likely Giuliani who's pro-choice and will snap up most of the middle-ground dems and republicans). However if Leiberman ended up on the ballot as the democratic choice I think dems would win hands down, especially when they'd get their moderate votes back because they're actually putting forward a candidate who'd be tough on terror. Maybe Hillary would say that she'd commit more troops and military trainers to Iraq and have a strategy in hand but I really have my doubts.

...If an intrusive gov't were to try and take over, civilian-class weapons likely wouldn't do much against say...tanks, jets, and mobile suits. Besides, there are easier ways to stop them beyond having a shootout. Learn some glorious CQC, or infiltrate the ranks.

Hillary isn't even a feminist-- she's just angry and irritable.

If that happened, I would buy a one-way plane ticket to Middle-earth. :roll:

The Iraqi resistance must have never got your addvice because they are holding their own with rifles and improvised explosives.

Myself I do not support gun control either but I'm in Texas and it will
certainily vote Republican so there is no point for me to vote. By the
way I'm unlikley to ever vote again.

Fat chance Lieberman runs. Most of the people against the war would vote for a 3rd party candidate if need be.

They also have suicide bombers, something I think the American public will never resort to.

Unlike in Iraq, though, the government here obviously has more than enough ties to the people to control them anyways. We're much more technologically linked-- all they need to do is begin to take hold of the flow of information.

Also, just how many Americans are truly versed in the ways of combat? Those with great experience tend to be on the side of the gov't to begin with.
