Good question! But I am speaking as a writer. I will bet that 80% of you will say Rudy or Mitt or Clinton or Obama. Why?
For one thing the media is picking them for you. There are other candidates with far better vision of the future than these couple. look at CNN they seem to be firmly behind Clinton; MSNBC seems to be drawn to Clinton and Obama. They seldom give the others a shot.
The last Dem debate for CNN--the network lost in that one. Why? They allowed Clinton to stack the audience and then allowed lots of applause, cat calls and boos. It was a pathetic endeavor. CNN allowed it to get out of control. They allowed it to be the Clinton/Obama show with few interjections from the others. It was pathetic!
I was not surprised at all, they have been a staunch supporter of Clinton from the start and they give her every opportunity to be the star of the debates. Real visionaries are not allowed to answer the hard questions, but rather are asked menial bullshit questions and then move on to the leaders for the biggies.
So your candidate is most likely pick for you. They(the media)are marginalizing the others to influence the outcome. They want a cat fight and not a policy fight. So do most Americans.

I sure wish the Fairness Doctrine was back in place. It's unfortunate that the candidates are chosen by the media, but I don't think there's anything we can do about it. Besides, since we still have the electoral college, our votes don't mean jack anyway, but at least it makes people feel good by voting. I'm still voting, but I know it doesn't mean a damn thing.
Hi Kizz, great to have you post. I agree and the length of the campaigns is another way to control the outcome.
