I think I would support Barack Obama before Hillary Clinton. There is something about him that is very likable and trustworthy.
I JUST started reading his latest book, so maybe I'll formulate better opinions after that.

Delt Alum, I believe governors do better because it's much easier to see a Senator's voting record and use it against him. No matter how in line a Sen's views are with the majority of the people, they'll always vote things that piss someone off or can be used in a campaign ad. Kerry blew it when he tried to explain his "flip flop" and the votes he made were logical.
Governor's can be active by saying "I'm going to change X" and even if they never accomplish it, it's not the Gov's fault, it's the legislators. Plus only one state will be pissed at him at a time.
/Sorry a bit of a ramble.

Centaur. I'm not a bigot. Prove me wrong. I absolutely dare you.
I could vote for a mormon without a problem. I have several Mormon friends, and my prime recommendation for law school was a Mormon professor (and my favorite undergrad prof). They are genuine, nice people who have high moral standards. As for the south, the SBC doesn't run the south. Obviously there will be a hold up, but seeing as Mitt will likely emerge as the most conservative realistic candidate, I don't think you'll see southerners swarming to the polls for McCain or a certain yank from NY. Unless something happens (scandal!), I think Mitt will be the GOP candidate. You can hold me to it.

Would you vote for someone who believes in Santa?

I might, if they'd be a good president. I think the Mormon faith is misguided, but come on, its not scientology or anything.

LOL, but it's pretty close, just without all the sci-fi crap.

I have a hard time saying I wouldn't vote for a Mormon because I know there are a lot of people who wouldn't vote for a Catholic, but I really don't know if I ever could. I do know that I wouldn't vote for Romney.

The fact that your faith has more followers doesn't make it any more believable.
