american elections - my selections

long term readers of this blog will know that i have expressed a preference for john mccain as 2008 american presidential election winner for some time. i have not changed my opinion .

however given the complex absurdity of american election process he may or may not succeed. so here is a list of current and potential candidates listed in order of my preference.

my assessment (as of now, before new hampashire primary results ) of their ultimate success in getting elected (which is a completely different thing from my preference) is expressed in brackets as "x"s (out of maximum 5)

my order of preference
1 john mccain (xxx 1/2)
2 rudy giuliani (xxx 1/2)
3 mike huckabee (xxx 1/2)
4 mitt_romney (xxx)
5 ron paul (1/2)
6 michael_bloomberg (x)
7 bill richardson (x)
8 barack obama (xxx 1/2)
9 hillary rodham clinton (xxx)
10 john edwards (xx 1/2)

i don't care about those not mentioned

reasons for preference based on policies and personal qualities, would take too much time explain and unfortunately i don't have that at the moment. but there is no hurry, i am sure i will get to reasons soon enough.

anyway what is your preferences ( if you care enough to have some)?
