I don’t know who I want as my President.

None of these are winning me over yet, but I sure as hell don’t want a dim in any fashion. If so many FREEPERS have different picks... how can we come together and PICK who to support?

Apart from all the in-squabbling about which guy we want, I think most of us can agree that these feel more like “grown-up” debates as opposed to the Dem debates?

We're doing it. Can you think of a better way to pick a good candidate than debate the issue?

Of course we're going to have different picks. Groupthink is for the left. Besides, this would be an awfully boring forum if everyone agreed, wouldn't you say?

I don’t think it’s up to us. I’ll support whoever gets the nomination, Period.
Hell, I’d even support that Moonbat Ron Paul if he was up against The Evil One.

Of the current candidates, I like Huckabee’s answers best, even though I realize he’s second tier. None of the others impress me much.

What you will see here is those who support a particular candidate disparage the others in favor of theirs. Look closely at some of the posts. Some are not watching the same debate as the rest of us, and their comments suggest it.

It happens every election. This one is more contentious than most and will be divisive here at FR for a long time to come.

You are making this way harder than it needs to be. Study the candidates' position. Find the candidate that agrees with you most of the time. On primary day, go vote for him. If he wins the nomination, vote for him in the general election. If he does not, and you can support the nominee, then vote for him.

If you can't make that decision by yourself... then perhaps you shouldn't be voting.

PS - In your decision making... decide what is more important. The cosmetics of a candidate. (Pretty hair, face, and voice) or the positions of a candidate.

There you go.

PSS - You do not have to decide this moment. It's not like picking out an ice cream flavor. You have to the date of your primary.
