What a difference it would be if the Primaries were being held now. Probably McCain and Obama wouldn't even get a look in. Mitt Romney was the only candidate with any economic experience. Ron Paul would be looking a lot different too. Would you change your vote?

Romney was the best Republican but evangelicals would rather swallow rusty nails whole then vote for a Mormon. As a Mormon, I wonder why people in the church are so adamantly GOP when its darn clear that the democrats are more accepting of us.
As far as the primary, if it were held today, I think Obama would beat Hillary in CA by a pretty wide margin.
I still think he should have picked Hillary as his running mate.
Because Republicans have such lousy judgment, you never know what kind of candidate we're going to get from that party's primary season. Before, it was the village idiot. Now, it is the village idiot's follower McCain.
The Democrats picked the best candidate Obama, but unfortunately didn't embrace him early enough. Clinton was no match and she should've been booted out after Super Tuesday rather than wasting enormous time and resources pacifying her. She should've yielded early rather than stumbling forward in self-denial.
So I would choose Obama absolutely. He is the best candidate for this office in recent memory...and he's looking like the favored candidate at the moment.
I'm more of a centrist Democrat, and I wish Mark Warner, Evan Bayh, or even Tom Vilsack would have stuck through to the end since I supported all them.
But of the three remaining: Obama, Hillary, and Edwards, Obama was by far the best candidate and if the primaries were re-done, he would win by a far larger margin.
I was hoping the GOP would have nominated the flip-flopping mormon. That race would have been pretty hilarious as Romney would have been slaughtered in the general election.

My first choice in the primary was Bill Richardson and he would still be today.
I would not have changed my mind, but you bring up an interesting point.
Clinton would have probably won if the economy had been the top issue.
Yeah, because her husband didn't contribute to this mess with NAFTA and de-regulation.
