To be honest I wasn't really following the campaigns, and just based purely on the little I've seen I'd go with Obama. Mostly because I hate Clinton and I can't stand McCain. And I don't have a clue who's Huckabee, except that Colbert/Conan/Stewart are responsible for his success images/smilies/smile.gif

Nobody at this point.

It's basically a sealed deal for McCain at this point and it's looking the same way for Obama.

If man were meant to vote, God would have given us candidates.

In my opinion, none of the people running are worth the organs that keep them alive. Screw them all, I'm writing in Daffy Duck.

A pity that the only thing we seem to know about The Stig is that he's not American and therefore can't be president.

He'd get my vote.

Yes because skin color and gender are more important than issues in a president.

If those were my choices I think I'd vote for Prell to go back to the old glass bottle.
But for the purposes of this poll: Obama.

Yes but I doubt they would authorize any major action even if it was needed.

I fear that any of these will be worse for Europe and the rest of the world than Bush, but I would vote the one of these who is most consistent and best for Europe... McCain that is!
