Who has your vote as of this moment?

You can just vote, or you can spout off about why. We're a bunch of video game dudes, so everybody knows we don't really know what the fuck we're talking about, but feel free to launch into a tirade or rant or talking points or whatever if you feel like it.

McCain, for me, so far. He seems moderate enough to not be a tyrant, smart enough to not be an imbecile, and experienced enough to know what he's doing. Obama says a bunch of pretty stuff, but he doesn't seem to know his ass from his elbow, and Hillary is just an insane psychobitch.

Clinton got my vote in the primaries; Obama may get it in the main election, although that's not a sure thing at the moment. Frankly, I don't really care for any of them. Also, McCain strikes me as a bit of a hawk, which I'm not at all convinced is what we need right now.

Hillary Clinton, don't really feel like debating at the moment, so I'll just say it's because I liked Bill Clinton's presidency. I doubt she'll win it though, so my vote will go to Obama.

Can you make "Move to Portugal" an option?

It's kind of a toss up between McCain and Clinton, or at least it would be if I was American. I hope it is okay to vote in your poll because I already did without thinking.

I voted McCain because the populist stuff Clinton has been coming out with the last couple weeks sounds desperate.

Why move now, when the shit-storm that has been the Bush presidency is almost over?

IRTT Obama!

I've got a case of Obamania.

I've been hanging around The Huffington Post for too long and my impression of McCain has dropped considerably. Still, appeals to my hawkish instincts more than Obama does. To be fair, I've said before that as long as the race is between Obama and McCain, I win either way. I like them both.

Anybody but Hillary.

McCain means 4 years of the same. At this point, the democrats could run a corpse and I'd vote for it.

Obama has my vote at this point.

I actually went into the primary season supporting Hillary Clinton, but ended up in Obama's camp.

The more I watched Hillary run, the less I found myself liking her, and the opposite happened with Obama.

I'm not a rabid Obama supporter who thinks he's going to magically transform Washington and miraculously solve all our country's problems, but I believe he's a smart, honest guy who's proved himself to be quite adept at dealing with the political world, and most importantly, he's the least invested in "the way things are done" in politics. His lack of Washington experience to me makes him the most likely to actually try and do things differently.

How his approach will fare with congress is probably my biggest unknown at this time.

Obama. I think he may be the most idealistic but hell if I know if he can actually get anything done.
