I would vote for Hillary because she says the most durring the discussions and doesn't beat around the bush so to speak. I would love the free healthcare but as it goes in america, you get what you pay for. Also, I don't think Bill Clinton was a bad president. Just a man. A man who makes mistakes. Now if I was Hillary, I wouldn't still be married to him but maybe that's more of a reason to vote for her. She's stronger than letting something like that take her life over. Politics are very tricky. I'm still voting for Hillary though.... :)

I wouldn't vote for Hillary, not because shes a woman, but because it seems like she trys to "up" herself and has no idea what shes talking about. - She says things that are really dramatic and act like it was a HUGE deal. and then you find out that it was nothing at all... I just don't believe she would be a good leader for this country... Maybe a leader for some kind of organization... but thats it.

Well I would vote for Obama just because his health care plan is voluntary so people who really can't afford to have one more thing to pay for would not be stressed out, whereas Hillary's plan requires you to purchase, given it may be a very small amount it is something and some families just can't afford it.

I would vote for Obama, too. I don't like Hilary's plan at all, and not just in health care.

I would prefer Sen. Hillary Clinton over Sen. Obama because i like her and she had far more experience in Politics than Sen. Obama plus her husband is a former president and its just time for a woman president they can't do no worst than whats already has been in there...

I am not from the US but if I were a citizen there, I will go for Obama. I think it would still be best if a man runs the household and the government. Women are there without talents and principles but they look better if they just help out and not play as leaders.

I'm sorry I have a correction. What I meant was "women aren't without talents principles", (not the one I originally typed and overlooked).

I totally agree with what you wrote. I don't believe a woman should be the leader of this country.

I do not really care for either of them but if i had to i would choose obama. I really do not care for Hilary Clinton, her husband was a not so good president i just do not think she would be good either plus even though i am a girl i think that guys are meant to be presidents not women...

Personally I think they would both make good presidents. like their politics, they take the stands on disability issues that I want the president to take. I need to research their other opinions. I'm very proud of both of them as both a woman and a black person. I wish they would consider running together, because then they would be unbeatable I think. Heck, anyone has to be better than Bush, and that includes McCain, although his possible VP scares me.

I am planning to vote for Obama for several reasons. First off, we have had either a Clinton or a Bush in office for far too long - and I really can't say either have helped our country much. I also think that Obama's Health care plan is the better of the two. Obama also believes that standardized tests like the TASK test hurt our children's education - simply teaching them how to take a test and pass, rather than teaching them the skills they need in life; I for one can see this happening with our two children. I also think that Hillary had far too many difficulties with things that she has tried to accomplish while Bill was in office - her health care plan for instance...it failed then, why should we think it wouldn't now? Also there is her involvement with the White Water scandals during the same time - though little has been mentioned about that during the campaign season. I believe that in the long run, Obama is our best option and I will be voting for him.

I could not vote for either one as both are socialists and socialism reduces our freedom of choice and it increases government control over us and taxes always goes up with democrats. But to say if I was forced to choose between these two candidates only then I think it would ......... I don't know I can't choose, they both have such great weaknesses, Obama who is inexperienced and it seems he believes in what he says but has no clue on the truth or how to actually implement his ideas in a way that won't cost us Americans (who are taxed to the gills already)he is already double talking in his campaign and Hilary who (even back when her husband was president)is into power,glory and money. Look at how they got their income, and what is her real goal? Is she here to help us Americans or is she doing this for her own glory. I can see if she became president that she would not give a sh-- about us and would be into her legacy. Sorry just could not pick either one.
