5. I recently hopped on the Obama train...
I'd particularly like to see him paired with Bill Richardson in a black/hispanic ticket. That'd be sweet.

But I think just about every Democratic candidate who has expressed interest in running has some great qualities.

6. Maybe Obama or Richardson
But I'm guessing Clinton will do better than Richardson, at least. I just don't know really. It's so early.

8. I haven't decided between Edwards and Hillary yet. But if the election were today and I had to vote
I'd go for Hillary. I just read her biography again. I alway forget how much I like her.

11. Not backing anyone yet......
because it looks like my #1 is announcing sometime in the next few months. But I must say, I'm quite impressed with Richardson.

12. I'm backing Edwards and I'll tell you why
Aside from the war in Iraq, I believe poverty and lack of opportunity are our biggest problems. Edwards created a foundation to study poverty, and has made that his focus. I also know some people personally who are working on his campaign whom I like. So right now I support Edwards. That means that when the time comes I will devote time to the campaign canvassing and voting in the primary. It doesn't mean I hate the other candidates, and I will gladly support with canvassing efforts, as well as vote for whoever wins of any of those who've announced thus far.

13. All of them
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 03:15 PM by liberal N proud
Until I hear their full stories and lies, I will back all of them.

Edwards is my hopeful though.

18. I'll say Edwards.
But I'd really love to see Al Gore run! He'd be my first choice.

22. I think its a bit weird...
to choose a candidate before the debates even begin. However, as a college student and young person, I definitely have a soft spot for Barack Obama.

23. Kucinich first, possibly Edwards....
Edited on Mon Jan-22-07 04:08 PM by mike_c
I'll wait to hear more from Obama. That's pretty much my short list.

Of course, all bets are off if Gore runs.
