If I were Republican or republican leaning Paul would win hands down but neither of these men realistically has a shot at winning unless there is a ‘real revolution’ and unfortunately due to a number of circumstances that revolution will not be forthcoming this time around-this time!

As for my stance on the other candidates here’s my breakdown:

I’m not overly impressed with the resumes, skills or experience of Clinton, Edwards or Obama if I were to choose a person based on his resume, skills and experience I would have to go with Richardson.
But let’s be honest he lacks money and charisma and although he comes off as a really nice guy he really needs a stylist..I’m sorry but image although it’s not everything does count for something.

I must say though that if Obama or Clinton were nominated and were ultimately to become president it would be a momentous and historic occassion and the ripple effects of their presidency would be immesurable. And who knows if Obama being black and Clinton being woman would bring a lasting changes the US and the world.

As for Biden I think he’s limited to foreign policy while Dodd would make an excellent VP, as well as Richardson, due to his foreign policy experience and also he has some signature issues like education and law & order.

On the Republican side:

Mitt Romney is a flip flopper and he comes off as insincere and disingenious and this is problematic. He also is too clean cut he doesn’t give me the impression that he could cut my lawn or take out my garbage that’s he’s a man not a man’s man but just a man.

Giuliani is limited to foreign policy experience and even within that field his knowledge and experience is very limited however he would be a very strong leader.

Mccain would be an excellent leader of this I’m sure but he would be a continuation of the same and this is not what the US or the world needs.

Thompson was to be the savior instead he’s a dud. He knows how to say what needs to be said but he’s doesn’t look like he actually believes the things he’s saying and he’s also too laid back..come on..dude..wake up.
Also other than being a conservative tell me one thing he’s said that you either agree or disagree with all the other candidates have issues what does he have? And this is coming from a hard core political junkie like myself I wonder how many people out there know his name or have even heard of him let alone what he represents?

As for the other candidates all I’ll say is come on….

I blogged today encouraging Iowans and New Hampshirites to choose Paul and Kucinich. I think we need to stop nibbling around the edges with these establishment candidates go for a real shake up.

Where do your feelings sit on this slate of candidates?
