Hilary Clinton. I want to like her since I think it is high time we had a woman president, but I am soo dang tired of the whole Bush, Clinton, Bush and the possibility of Clinton again.

Non-American POV: Mike Huckabee

I think it would be Romney. He seems like a cold fish on the surface but boiling lava just underneath. I think he would be dangerous.

Well seeing I am Australian and don't have any idea.... my vote is for Obama (is that how you spell it). Only cause it sounds so much like Osama. And I would hate to think what would happen if someone was hard of hearing.....

Then again I have only heard of Hilary and him anyway :)

(Betcha none of you knew we just had an election here did you??? See? Am I forgiven now?)

Ahhh! I don't know- Do I really have to think it about it now? I'm thinking around September I'll get educated and make a decision.

kelley: they've "accidentally" called him Osama here, in the media already.

For me

Republicans: Mitt Romney is the scariest, but then they're all pretty darned scary.

Democrats: Hillary. I just can't like her for some reason. I wish Elizabeth Edwards was running. I wish Howard Dean was running. I wish anyone was running besides the candidates we have...

George W. ...

oh wait, that wasn't your question. ;)

Honestly, they all kind of scare me a bit. However, John McCain is a tad too creepy for me.

The question for me is, "Which one doesn't?"

But honestly, it doesn't really matter. It's Congress we have to worry about.

I haven't done enough research/reading to make an educated decision. On the surface, I'd say Clinton.

Huckabee or Romney...either one. Let's face it...Hillary is screwed no matter what. She's a woman who had the balls to admit she wanted more from her life than to just be MARRIED to the President and as we know, women aren't supposed to ask for anything more than an unremarkable life without garnering a lot of grief for it. Had she left her husband after the infidelity, she would have been chastised for it. Because she didn't, people assume she approved...and was therefore a part of it. A man with confidence is someone to be trusted and a woman with confidence is a selfish bitch. That's why so many people don't like Hillary. Too bad. She's been a better senator than Bush was a governor of Texas. I should know. And anyone who thinks that the accident of a candidate's name rhyming with a terrorist leader will somehow affect the success of his presidency isn't paying attention to the issues. Surely we demand more from our candidates than a great sounding name? Dear Lord! Give me John Edwards, though anyone would be better at this point than what we have right now. Except for another Evangelical nutjob.

Actually, I think it's the least scary bunch of potentials in a while. I had a feeling most people would say Clinton--this puzzles me, but whatever. Scary to me is Huckabee, hands down. But then again, I do feel like there is NO chance he could win the presidency if he won the nomination, so in that sense, maybe he's not so scary. At this point I'd be thrilled with ANY Democrat in office--and actually, I like all 3 of the front runners.

Ron Paul or Barack Obama.

Having lived in a Mormon state for most of my life, I would have to say Romney. I'm not too keen on Obama or Clinton either.

Huckabee.

And I don't think Hillary is disliked because she wants to be more than a wife. I think she's disliked because she's not all that likable.

I'm a democrat, tried and true, and would love to be able to cast my vote for the first woman president, but I don't like her enough. Why oh why did it have to HILLARY!?

Seeing as I'm Canadian, and had to have you clarify if it was the democrats that were liberal or conservative (we keep it simple up here, the conservatives are the Conservatives, and the liberals are the Liberals)My opinion would be strictly based on what the media presents... and I try to be smarter than that.
What I do think however is that no matter who gets in they've inheritated a big fat ugly mess. very scary.

Well, I say Hillary. I would love to see a woman become president but she isn't the one. I just don't think she imbodies the Christian principles I live by.

After seeing how much power Bush really has, they all scare me. How long have we been at war with Iraq?

Romney.
I actually don't mind Hillary or Obama.

No doubt about it, Huckabee!

I'm with AB totally. Huckabee scares me. That "God Warrior" is so slimy that I expect snakes to come out of him at any given moment.

I find it terrifying that so many people want another evangelical in the White House. Wasn't one lethal flood, one tsunami, devastating fires, and a killer hurricane season enough of a message for you?

Keep church and state SEPARATE. The US Constitution intends it to be so.

I'm in agreement with the same anwser the soldier gave Chelsey, Osama, Obama and yo mama
I have not made up my mind as I am waiting to see will actually be running at voting time

Anyone with an (R) following their name. Ron Paul to me is the scariest, as he wants to take the country back to 1860, but he's not going to get the nomination. Mike Huckabee is scary because he doesn't believe in the Establishment Clause, and he might actually have a shot at the nomination.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?

Blown Away

That is a fitting name for this post, as the winds outside our house right now are blowing at speeds that have been clocked at 85 mph, which is technically hurricane-force. The wind truly sounds like a freight train. I have never experienced such a ferocious wind storm, and we get them every year around this time. Oy. If you've checked the news, you've heard about the Malibu fire, but seriously, when doesn't Malibu burn? Every frickin year they have a fire, it just goes with the territory of being remote and having heavy brush, combined with no irrigation and a canyon. It's just a volatile mix. Meanwhile, in the very canyon in which my house is located (the Fremont Canyon) we are in the thick of those winds clocked at hurricane speed, and it is just crazy, people. There are trees being uprooted everywhere, as well as something that just hit my roof. I'm not kidding. We have seen at least two transformers blow out, kind of pretty, actually that huge blue glow ...
