Default U.S. election - Which candidate would you vote for Presidency?

Well, I just found out that Ron Paul is thinking about running for Presidency again. With the Democrats seemingly now pushing the "Well I don't support the war, so vote for me" line, he has a very large trump card over Hillary in the fact that he has always opposed the war consistently. Plus, I just like the fact that he seems to truly stand by his convictions, an exceedingly rare attribute nowadays in politics. Also the fact that he wants the federal government limited to what it used to be seals the deal for me. Unless he severely changes his politics, I would vote for him no matter what party he's with. Wish more people thought that way

This is a true crime


Back on topic:

I haven't seen anybody throw there seleves in yet that I really wanna vote for. Hillary is way to liberal for my taste and I think she may get the democratic nomination, but she wont win the election.

I'd love to see Rudy run ... I'd go to the election and start chanting "Rudy! Rudy!"

That movie is a all-time top 10 by the way.

The way Rudy handled himself and his state during that crisis was unbelievable and I'd love to see his views on various topics. Im not going to say I'd vote for him, but he's an interesting prospect.

Later.

I'm simply going to vote for whoever runs against Hillary.

All Politicians wear make-up, she wears a mask.

I like Obama. If Obama is not the democrats candidate, then I'll vote Libertarian as always. Obama is the only candidate I'd vote out of my party for.

Some questions...

1) Ron Paul? (Yes, yes I know, Wikipedia is my friend...)

2) Why all the hate for Hillary?
As someone who is practically libertarian on some issues (drug laws), and practically socialist on others (health care), and almost always votes with the Democrats, I simply do not understand the fascination with Hillary.

a) I simply do not see a groundswell of popular support for her on the left. Most Democrats see her as a centrist triangulator who is primarily concerned with corporate interests.

b) At the same time, I don't get why the right hates her so much, and for issues that have nothing to do with public policy, ie her looks or her sexual orientation.


3) Demographically speaking, why are liberals underrepresented among MMOG players?

4) What are the issues that really matter to you?
For me, in order of importance, they are Iraq, sustainable energy, the environment, peace in the greater middle east (brokering peace between Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Iran), and meeting the trade threat from China and India head on.
