I have little to no knowledge on either subject, so I'll just stay away from that one.

I'm a Libertarian, though I disagree with the party on foreign policy. One thing about the Democrat candidates that irritates me is that they all seem to be supporting one form or another of government-run medicine. The government just isn't trustworthy, and with something as personal as one's health seems like a bad idea.
I'm not in love with the Republican candidates either, but Mike Huckabee running on the Fair Tax and that is a major selling point for me.
I have no idea who the candidates for the Libertarian ticket are, so I have nothing to say about them.

Well Barrack Obama has been killing his opponents by taking advantage of our rapidly expanding field of information systems. By participating in discussion on Youtube, Yahoo, etc. He panders effectively to our modern society. Clinton has a sense of incumbency thanks to Bill Clinton's previous term of office, which was quite the success if you discount the sexual dilemma. She seems to have a good mind about what is good for America, and does have a commanding personality. The Republicans this time around aren't looking too good. There aren't any candidates worth mentioning.....

Eh, I tend to lean towards the Democrats more, but considering the way the election's headed I may sway a little more towards Obama if I find that his platform suits my tastes. Of course, I say this having not really paid attention to the elections that much apart from the fact that one candidate's a woman (and if she wins the election, it'd be a first for the nation) and the other is a black male (if he makes president, that'd be a first as well), which frankly is probably half the reason why the campaign has gotten so much publicity.
Though frankly . . . at the moment, I feel that either one will be preferable to our current president . . . *does not like Bush at all* . . . he's done so many things wrong during his time as President that it's astounding; among the things he's done wrong, he's handled the oil crisis wrong, the war in Iraq wrong, and not only that but when he got here the American dollar had a very decent value on the international market -- a record high if I remember right -- and since he entered office the dollar's value has plummeted (and is still dropping, if the media is any indicator).
These are just my opinions, note, I do not mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to speak my piece.

I don't pay much attention to the elections, but I don't like Bush to be completely honest with you... I don't think very many people do; but if Hillary can run the country anything like her husband did I would go for her.

That's all fine and dandy, but my main problem with Hillary is that she's... well... evil. If MST 3K ever started making new episodes, she could be the new mad scientist. The cult of extraversion has dominated the western world. With Hillary at the helm and her attitudes that an elect of government workers should run everyone's life, it'll be a disaster that will make the minor gripes about Bush pale in comparison.

Obama. I am afraid of Hilary Clinton's manly biceps.
