I think you can add one more poll option...
"It doesn't matter because neither will become President"

Can you predict the stock market too?  Do you do weddings?

I can predict just about anything. The real question is whether or not I can predict accurately.
We'll find out in November.
The thinking there is that the US voters are pretty well split down the middle (if you look at the last two elections). So, the 50% or so Democrats who would normally vote Democrat will have to overcome the prospect of a female president or a black president and they will all have to do that just to break even with the Republicans.
I'm playing the odds and betting on the fact that I think there are enough Democrats who will not vote for a black or female president.
But, again, we'll see in November.

That's funny.
The site took forever to come up, though.

Obama spent til now without any hard questions or requests for explanations about anything. To hear him literally whining publicly that he was asked questions he didn't want to answer was priceless. Kicking like a child.
This primary will rest entirely on personality. Both candidates are proven liars, proven extremists, and all around silly, useless people where the job of president is concerned. Hilary is nothing but Obama with hairier legs.

I'm really hoping one proves to be more useless than the other...and whichever of the two it is, wins the nomination.

That pretty much sums up "politicians" from both sides. I can't say McCain looks any better than the Dems currently at battle. And now Nader's in... oiy... why... he really really needs to stop. For the first time in my life I'm considering not voting, because I'm tired of voting for the lesser evil.
Nice slanted poll, by the way...

His politics are weak, I'll give you that. I do think he's honorable though.
In this election he has one thing going for him that will get me and millions of other conservatives to the polls. The dems have never presented two less desirable, less qualified, more destructive to the constitution / economy / future of America candidates as they have this time. The entire democratic mindset this year has been about breaking some boundary or shouting out bumper sticker themes while girls faint. Did the voters ever stop to consider what happens if one of these turkeys actually pulls off a miracle and gets into the white house?

Well, I'm to unsure at this point to make an accurate call. It's pretty close to the point either way the democratic party decides to lean it's going to break itself apart by a large portion. Maybe larger if they go for Hillary instead of Obama but either way, it's going to be a pretty big break. And that in itself will doom whichever candidate it is to have an almost impossible time of it. Mix that with the fact that it's looking like they are going to drag it out to the end between the two making the general election being against just a democrat, republican, and a hopeless independent a very short one.
The fact that MCcain can relate so well to the conservative liberal base and you have a border line Republican that is going to have an easier time to get elected than the others. And yes, while I see a lot of his views as wrong I do believe him to be honorable at least. Especially in comparison to the 2 the democrats are offering.

I predicted a McCain win mainly because of the unorganized opposition...
But I never believed myself...
But please, just for the sake of shaking things up...let me be wrong.
How many years of old crotchety white guys can we take?

Although I don't think his politics are anywhere near to being productive, Obama doesn't seem to be on the same level of corruptness as Hillary. One point for that.

I think it would be Clinton or McCain. Though I like the policies of Obama, Clinton proves more point than him
