I’m not committed for president right now but my incliniation is always towards conservative candidates who are not on the top tier.
McCain and Ron Paul are out the door in my book.
I’m listening to all the rest from the top guys (Romney, Giuliani, Thompson) through the rest from Huckabee to Hunter, Tancredo, etc.

I said this about another candidate, but I am starting to believe this with everyone.. Politics is really a political Rorscach test, people don't want to vote for a candidate, they want to vote for themselves.
