    It's way to early for myself and I've just started to study the possibilities. I voted Democrat for decades when being Democrat was actually conservative. Over the past few elections I've chosen not to vote a particular party and found myself to be a moderate. I'll just mention some issues and where I stand.


    *Not being taxed on what you earn... but on what you spend. Bye bye IRS!

    *Health Reform... Between my insurance company and the doctors visits who says Houdini doesn't live on. Many of the prescription medicines need to be reclassified to over-the-counter medicines.

    *Pro-Life... with exception of rape or if the mother's life is in jeopardy.

    *Stricter standards for Welfare... including the penalty of one single abuse of the Welfare system discovered and your banned for life.

    *Retirement options reviewed... inspite of the grand ole idea of 401k in recent past.

    *Iraq... slow phased redeployment starting 2008 with gradual ceding of responsibility to the Iraqi govt and people.

    Registered independent who wants often to vote for a conservative dem and usually ends up voting gop and holding his nose.

    I hate the extremes. If we could lock up the far right with the far left in a room and lose the key, id be a happy guy.

    I like Joe Biden, but he isn't going to make it all the way.

    Other than that, too early to decide. What can happen between not and the political conventions? Like a nuclear attack? Stock Market Crash? Assassinations? Hopefully not, but no one can predict the future.

    I agree Choux, no need to make a choice until all the chickens have roosted. And yes Joe Biden has a strong background, much better than that female

    For now, Rudy Giuliani has my support. But if/when Fred Thompson announces his candidacy, I'll probably switch my support to him. Either Rudy or Fred are viable candidates for me.
