This is a question for all, but particularly for those in the United States:
Who do you hope to win the respective Democrat and Republican presidential races? What are important political issues for you right now?

You're going to come to Canada?!
If you think that the US is completely screwed, and you think Canada is your way out, then you're just going from the frying pan to the furnace.

I'll probably wind up voting for whomever makes it to the democratic ballot, but right now I'm not impressed with anybody. I'm currently looking at the Republicans I can tolerate rather than the Democrats I want. I kinda like the idea of Giuliani because he seems like a reasonable guy even though he's a Republican.

Hmmm... guns are boring... anyway, if forced to live with another republican for 4 more years, Giuliani is probably the least terrifying of the current candidates. I've looked at Romney and Thompson and McCain and their all pro life, and that's a big issue for me. Giuliani said in that debate that even though he's personally against abortion, he's willing to set that aside to protect the constitutional rights of the rest of the country because he understands that not everyone feels the way he does. Perhaps a former mayor doesn't have the international experience necessary to be president the way a senator might, but I really don't care.

I still don't know much about Obama. I wish I did. I don't really know Edward's politics either, because he didn't really do a good job of explaining that the first time around and he hasn't been in the media much this time either. I'm off and on about Hillary. I like ultra liberal, personally, but I can agree with you that ultra anything is bad for the country right now. I think she'd do a good job and I've always liked her (we share the same birth date, not year of course) and I like the idea of a woman as president, just so we can get over the bickering of "can a woman be president?" "aren't women too emotional to run a country?" and all that other garbage that many countries have already proven wrong, though Americans can't seem to recognize it.

I think bin Laden and Bush have more in common than bin Laden and Clinton. Their both for the Iraq war, their both wealthy people from an oil based background, and their both very restrictive in their opinions of human rights. Probably not Stalin either, because he wasn't a very good commie.
