    You decide what the 0 TF delegates will vote at the upcoming conventions.

    PS To Ron Paul Folks: Look, he had a good run, and he got alot of people thinking. Hell, I'da voted for him. But unless McCain, Huckabee, Romney, and half the delegates all die of a contagious anurysm at the convention, it's over. so he's not in the poll.

    Well, Paul will still try to get something to happen at the convention, but McCain looks like he might be able to win outright. So, as of now I'm voting for Obama because he'll do a better job with foreign policy.

    Too early, there should be an undecided category. I have reservations about each of the candidates and things I like, too. I want to see more debates on the issues from the candidates and less spin from the media pundits. I want to see who moves toward the middle and who caters to the extreme elements of either party.

    Right now, I rank them by qualification:

    Brainpower -- Clinton, Obama, Huckabee, McCain
    Experience -- McCain, Clinton, Huckabee, Obama
    Grasp of the issues -- Clinton, McCain, Obama, Huckabee
    Vision -- Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee
    Resolve -- McCain, Clinton, Huckabee, Obama
    Trust -- Huckabee, Clinton, McCain, Obama
    Charm -- Huckabee, Obama, Clinton, McCain
    Eloquence -- Obama, Clinton Huckabee, McCain
    Honesty -- Huckabee, Obama, McCain, Clinton
    Inspiration -- Obama, Huckabee, Clinton, McCain
    Flexibility -- Clinton, Obama, McCain, Huckabee

    don't trust and honesty sort of go together? :huh:

    HC should be last in both, IMO

    Huckabee has no chance to win the nomination (unless you're talking about something pretty unlikely, such as McCain being incapacitated) - supposedly even if he wins all remaining contests, he can't stop McCain. Then Romney has pledged his delegates to McCain yesterday.

    I think that trust and honesty is a wash. All of them are tied for last place. Being a politician is the opposite if being honest and trustworthy.

    There is a difference. Honesty is about whether or not they will lie to you. "Read my lips, no new taxes", "I never slept with that woman", "We know Saddam has nuclear weapons and we know where they are".

    Trust is about whether or not we can believe a candidate will do the right thing for the People of the United States, not for his political party, not for some lobbyist who contributes to his campaign, and not for his personal prejudices.

    Got an example other than personal dislike?

    Track record Amigo, she has a different stance on any given day. (not that this is uncommon for a polotician) Last poll I saw said less than 20% trusted her. Hmm, if you can trust them, how can you think they would ever be "honest"

    I know you imagine this. I'm asking for a real example of it. People make stuff up all of the time and it gets repeated, like the Obama remark on the other thread.

    What track record issues do you refer to?
