How long did it take for you to figure that out.All the trash in the oceans and destroying the ozone layer.

So what does everyone think for the election in '08 as far as candidates and issues? Anyone voting in the primaries like me?

I'll vote in the democrat and republican primaries

Obama is my man on the dems, but I have no idea who I want to win on the republican side..

Bah, you're lucky in that Texas has an open primary. No such luck for me and I'm registered independent - can't vote in the primaries at all

hah well that sucks.. The majority of states hold closed primaries though, I think..

It's 25 open and 25 closed I thought. Either way it is pretty even. Ohio's is opened. What's your strategy with Obama? Do you actually like him for a democrat or are you voting for the least likely democrat to stand a chance against the republicans like some people do? I'll ote for either Hilary or Edwards for the dems. I don't know about the rebublican primary yet.

WTF? Hilary? OMG Hell no. Here's how it's going down: If Hilary wins the democratic nomination then the Republicans will retake the executive. However, if just about any other dem wins the nomination then the dems will control both the legislative and executive branches. In my opinion, people are fed up with the Republican rule, and are ready for a change. We are not ready for Hilary, though.

Obama is a very moderate Democrat. I don't see him proposing any extreme left policies. He is very intelligent, and a great pick for the dems. I may even vote for him in the presidential election if he wins the democratic nomination..

btw, he's a smoker, Dave

He's too moderate for me. But I hate when people say this country just isn't ready for a female or a black president. 231 years and still not ready? Blacks and females have been here for all 231 of those years so I think we're ready for it. But I think you're right. A female candidate will show a better turnout for the republicans but I don't think it would completely rule it out for the democrats. George Bush f'd up so many things for his party that I think America would vote Joe Shmoe as president before another republican (this year at least) considering it's just a bunch of joe shmoe's that vote.
