Go Obama, we love him up here in Illinois! However, I will gladly support Clinton if she gets the nomination. I don't think Edwards will get the nomination, but I'd vote for him too just to get a Democrat into the White House.

Huckabee is a disaster waiting to happen for sure! I'm all for McCain (not just because he looks like my uncle Dan) but I'd take Obama. I can smell a huckster a mile away (cough.. Edwards...) and Obama is an honest, caring and intelligent person. Just my two cents.

Tough question. I think I'd be inclined to go for McCain, for his past demonstrated willingness to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats. I'd like to chalk up his current campaign rhetoric as tools to win the nomination. Yeah, he's pro-war and all, but his positions on social issues are quite moderate.

On the flip side, I'd probably be least OK with Giuliani, who seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

If a Republican were to win, which would you be most ok with?

Completing my series on presidential candidates, here's a brief look at the remainder of the Democratic and Republican field.

In earlier posts, I made some detailed observations about Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards on the Democratic side, and Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney on the Republican side. For the rest of the field, I'll keep it brief.
