Unofficial Exit Poll

(D) Obama, (D) H. Clinton, (R) McCain, (R) Romney, (R) Huckabee

*Romney now out.. .

On the eve of "Super Tuesday" there are many things that cause me to stay that extra 20 minutes on the treadmill to get the latest in the polls. I was a Political Science major at the BY, I live in our nations capital... and I should add to my last post under "things I am most passionate about" voting! I am a firm believer in the aggregate making all the difference. My early college friends may remember me volunteering to take them to vote:) or my rantings when Hillary Clinton was running for govorner of my state when she had never freakin' lived in it. Still makes me mad...and now she is doing just what we thought she wanted to do way back when. But, that is all a side note.
As I was watching the results come back tonight I started to wander onto this topic: if we did not have television, internet... or Oprah etc. etc. who would win the race? I mean, if you couldn't tell if someone was young (Obama, B. Clinton) or old (Huckabee, Reagan), good looking (Kennedy, Romney) or ugly (no comment), athletic (Roosevelt) or cripple (FDR) and it was just based on newspaper publishing their stance and some fireside chats...who would win?
On that note I started thinking that, while I sometimes avoid political discussions in D.C. (nothing is so boring than to be out eating with a bunch of people-who define themselves and their self worth by where they work- who think they know what they are talking about, when they really don't), I think it is something that is and should naturally be discussed among friends. Who better to challenge you or open up a new way of thinking? So, my friends spread far and wide... I pose this question:

Who did (or would) you vote for, and why?

For my friends out of the country: as I spent the last U.S. election in Spain it absolutely fascinates me to see how others perceive our presidential elections. What is the buzz or the overall thought about the candidates where you are? Not saying you care to follow, but if you have do you favor one over the other?

*If you are embarrassed (which no matter your stance or reason for it, you should not be) then sure, post anonymous.
**please no long winded rantings, I did not entitle this entry "Soap Box" ;) but I genuinely want to know! ROCK THE VOTE!!! (I really should try to get a job with them)
