I used to like McCain when he leaned more towards the middle, but now he seems to be shifting further and further to the right to please the Republican base so, in short, no thanks.

And at the same time, I don't think Thompson ever really took his campaign seriously enough to ever really care. Ron Paul, for all the touting I do for him and all the money he raised and internet hype etc etc, I truely believe he never had (has) a chance either. Glenn mentioned he booked Elvenking because of a "small and extremely devoted fan base", I'm sure Ron Paul is like the Elvenking of Politics. You either love the guy or you think he's a nut. Mike Huckabee is only still in the race due to extreme stubbornness and as far as I'm concerned, only further embarrassing himself. I was willing to give him a listen until he turned on the God Complex, which, incidentally, when he started getting all the votes. Rudy Giuliani can't even afford to pay his own campaign back anymore. He was also a fool to bank everything he had on Florida. He didn't even TRY to win other states. Mitt Romney faced an uphill battle because he is Mormon. Also, he said something somewhere, to or about Mike Huckabee which didn't sit well with people, and I don't remember what that was.
Then candidates need to find new media to get their message out. *ahem, internet Ron Paul, who still for all the hype only managed about 8% vote in most states.

He lost a lot of my respect when he recanted his opinion of Jerry Falwell. When he originally had the guts to say something, I felt like I was finally seeing a Republican leader who was going to stand up to the Religious right. But then he had to go and play nice with Falwell, proving that he is "just one more politician."
hahaha, it would be awesome if the winning president made that guy vice pres, then committed suicide.
well the suicide part wouldnt be all that awesome, but at least that guy would be pres right?

i'm supporting Obama. he is definitly, what i feel, the strongest and the most different from what ive seen in the few years ive had to watch.
though this is the first election ive really been able to truly understand and follow, Obama's views and personality really match with mine.
Also, being in HS, im really taking a liking to the option he is going to give which is a $4,000 college credit, per year, if i volunteer to do different things for our economy like work in homeless shelter, retirement home, peace core, etc.
(this is also a very large trend ive noticed among others my age. while id say at least 75% of people from my age-19 support Obama, another 5% that were unsure are swayed by that plan alone)

I personally would just like to see a somewhat "level playing field". If you don't have the 100's of millions of dollars to campaign then you don't get to do your tv ads and be in the major debates.
I like the way England does it.... okay GO! You have something like 30 days to campaign then they vote.

Yah, I don't know why I'm so into the elections this year. I guess it's because I actually WANT to vote for someone. Finally.
Anyway, your welcome on Elvenking.

No kidding, the religious right tends to terrify me. Although, I suppose McCain is the lesser of two evils as compared to Huckabee.

I was pulling for Thompson but that campaign never got off the ground. l'll have to admit l'm leaning toward McCain even though he has leaned toward the left a bit much for my taste...especially on immigration. Anyone will be better than Hussein Obama (Change...change what & how? Everyone is waiting to hear...so please expound) or Hitlary.

I love what you're saying. Can you believe it? LOL! I was actually pulling for Romney myself, but I liked Fred Thompson, too. I'm not a fan of the leftists, either.

l'm not nearly as delusional about politics as l am about my musical tastes & opinions.
I direct you to the following link to answer your question, readily and freely available if people would just .. you know.. look at his website. Right under "issues". Labeled "Blueprint for Change."

Seriously, you're not the only one screaming "HE WONT TELL US WHAT HE'S GOING TO CHANGE LOL!!!111one" ... Why do people not research the candidates they're critisizing so harshly for things that are RIGHT THERE in front of their faces. Stop listening to Conservative talk radio and think for yourself.
BTW, awesomely clever on the name calling. Did you think those up yourself, or should we credit Rush Limbaugh? It sounds like some trype he'd contrive.
I read that "plan." It's all I can do to sit here, and not run screaming through the night. The months' worth of typing it'd take to even begin refuting it ain't worth it.
Your candidate's name is Barack Hussein Obama. Perhaps you should know the name of the person you want to run your country. The "Hussein" was first widely used in public by former Senator Bob Kerry of Nebraska... a Democrat... during his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.

Yep. Obama's middle name is "Hussein." Golly.
I liked Neal Boortz' response to a caller who tried to dredge up Barack's middle name as a negative issue: "Big Deal. It doesn't mean anything and it's not as if he had any choice over what his parents named him."
Score a point for, ahem, conservative talk radio.
There is much more to fear from Obama than just his middle name.
