I voted early last Friday because I knew I would have to work Tuesday. I went with Huckabee and yes on amendment one down here on property tax relief. I like Huckabee for the same reasons I dislike Charlie Crist. Huckabee seems earnest and I feel like he was a worker when he was governor of Arkansas. Romney seems like a robot who tries on different issues and policies based on what gets him votes. McCain(sp?) is old and I worry about what he will do with Iran. If Huckabee goes down I will support McCain over Hillary because I feel like McCain has shown character by taking a stand on tough issues when they were not popular. I will vote for Obama if he wins the democratic nomination because I like charismatic speakers and I read somewhere that he smokes cigarettes on occasion. Obama seems human. When he is tired he looks tired. When he is happy, he looks happy. He is smart and he is not afraid of Bill Clinton. I trust Obama even though I don't agree with him on everything because he is running against the Clinton smear machine and you know that whatever skeletons he has are open and out to view.
I feel like Crist is using Florida as a stepping stone for the presidency. Crist is also way too skinny and I don't trust skinny people. Crist sits in Tallahassee and dictates to the counties how much money they can tax and how much they can spend. In Florida the state sucks money from all counties and then reapportions it to meet the state needs. If you live in a rich county like I do and you want more services you elect local politicians to tax and spend how you want. This is how I like it. Crist has limited the people's power by taking money from their elected local officials and claimed to be a man of the people by backing paltry tax cuts to boost his popularity. I voted for the most recent paltry cut because I will take whatever I can get and hope that more is coming. I just wish Crist would allow local government to police itself. If we don't like our schoolboard we will replace it and the same with the commissioners.

I like your reasons for voting for Obama. Of course, it's a moot point. If he comes close to winning the nomination, the Clinton mafia will have him executed.
I also chose Huckabee. I heard he didn't budget like a conservative when he was the Arkansas governor...but he is an ordained Baptist preacher and is for a national sales tax. How bad could he be, right?
I got a pro McCain automated phone call...and said he was for smaller government (easy to say that), for protecting our borders, that Islamo-terrorist were our #1 concerns...and he has the longest proven anti-abortion record of any candidate and would appoint very conservative justices. I thought he was just saying that because I live in Georgia...but it WAS what I wanted to hear.
