I've tried a couple of times to make an update, but each time I somehow get distracted in the middle of writing and never make a post.
Concerning the MSNBC presidential debates, my current favorite candidate is Ron Paul. He is a strong supporter of the original intent of the constitution, and he is opposed to the Patriot Act. He also wants to reduce or do away with the IRS and income tax. He also struck me as the only candidate who wasn't an actor, he was up there because he is genuinely interested in restoring America's constitutional values.
My second favorite would have to be Romney. He only gets this honor because he is LDS, which is a strong attribute in his favor. However, I understand that just because he is LDS doesn't necessarily make him the best person up there, and something about him strikes me as fake from time to time. He did reasonably well at answering the questions, but I'm still unclear where he stands on the issues.
As far as Democrats go, I don't really like any of them. If I had to pick the one that I dislike the least, it would have to be Obama, and I really hope he gets his party's nomination over some of the whackos like Clinton, Biden, Kucinich, and Gravel.
Well, enough for now. What do you think about the candidates?

I think this is going to be one of the most interesting presidential elections we've had in quite some time. There's a lot of big names try to go for the spot of president. As for Republicans, I'm in favor of Guiliani (spelling?). Democrats, probably Obama. I know what you mean though about a lot of the candidates seeming like they're putting on an act. That's the number one reason why I can't stand Hilary Clinton. She's way too fake to make a good president. I just hope that whoever gets elected will make some much needed changes to our country.
Yeah, I think Hilary is the biggest faker of all. She's been presenting herself as borderline Republican for the past 4 years in order to prep her image for the elections. We all know she's liberal as all heck, but people fall for it all the same.
Yo Dave,
Romney is still my favorite candidate. I've read alot of the stuff he has said and I think he would do a great job. I trust him. I am very interested in Huckabee, I hadn't heard much about him until Glenn interveiwed him on the radio, but he seemed very humble, compitent, and I agreed with everything he said. I took the quiz on a webstite that tells you who to vote for, here were my results:
Tom Tancredo (R)
91.67% match
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R) - 89.39%
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney (R) - 87.12%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R) - 83.33%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R) - 81.82%
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R) - 78.79%
Businessman John Cox (R) - 71.21%
Arizona Senator John McCain (R) - 71.21%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R) - 57.58%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) - 54.55%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D) - 36.36%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D) - 34.85%
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D) - 33.33%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D) - 30.30%
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D) - 24.24%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D) - 24.24%
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D) - 15.91%

I just wish Hillary had ended up being the one I disagreed with the most. Oh well.
