Country?

Are you rooting for any candidate The Source? 

 First the USA...then the world.  Also, he doesn't seem to want to answer that particular question.

I didn't even know it was going on.

No people  just wild animals.

I meant county.

I dislike or hate all of the Republican candidates, except for Ron Paul, as I don't mind the government interfering with economics much, but I do resent the government interfering with moral issues.

In that sense, I waver between being a leftist revolutionary and a libertarian.

In terms of least dislike to most dislike:

Paul

McCain

Thompson

Huckabee

Romney

Guiliani

As for the Democrats (in terms of least dislike to most dislike)

Obama

Clinton

Edwards

So far, it looks as if Romney is winning Wyoming.  Its not really a big deal though, Wyoming has fewer people than any other state (including Alaska and Rhode Island), and is 10% Mormon, so I can't say I'm too surprised.

@TheSource, sounds like you live in the wrong country giving your political taste. Does this mean you'll be voting for the Democratic candidate in November or will you go for someone without any serious chance of winning, but whose ideas are closer to your own?

I like Romney. Don't think he'll win though. I don't know who will win for the Republicans.


Source - Are you a democrat and hate all Republican candidates? Or just this year's candidates?

 I think most "democrats" in the US actually cringe at having to call themselves that.  We'd prefer to be a lot more left than that...We used to be able to claim Green....but then Nader f'd that up.  Maybe that's why TheSource prefers to use the term leftist revolutionary.  

By the way, Duncan Hunter won a county too....strange.

We'll have to wait and see with this election.  If Ron Paul keeps beating one to three 'Republican mainstream candidates' per caucus/primary, he might as well run as a third party guy, simply because he'll have enough power to stop a mainstream Republican victory.  In New Hampshire, he is probably going to beat Guiliani again rather handidly, and I suspect he can beat Thompson too.  He'll probably come in fourth after McCain, Romney, and Huckabee with about 8-12% of the vote.  In the South he may get alot of racist support simply because he advocates states rights, despite the fact that he isn't racist, and despite the fact that he polls best with Blacks and Asians among the republican candidates.

The other factor is Bloomberg, who could run as a Centrist, and has billions to invest.  He has succeeded at everything he has tried, and unlike Guliani his positions and family life don't make him appalling for midwestern voters.  He is Jewish, but the popular vote in 2000 picked Lieberman (also Jewish) as Gore's Vice President, so I think he could get also be a significant factor if he runs, picking votes off from both sides.

My dream election would be

Ron Paul vs Huckabee vs. Bloomberg vs. Obama

(Libertarian) (Republican) (Centrist) (Democrat)

You'd have something like an 8%-35%-22%-45% popular split I think, with Bloomberg (he'd take some of the North East) and Paul (take one or two midwestern states) probably strong enough to horde ~40-60 electoral votes to force Obama to listen to some of their issues after taking the popular vote. 

Here are the results so far.
