I'm still registered Republican, so if Primary was today I'd be voting Kasich.

She has a figure. her legs are much better than ole cankle toes.
Really? You are actually going to ridicule the appearance of a 68 year old woman? I'm sure you are fit as a fiddle and haven't aged a bit. I'm sure the ladies swoon when you walk into a room.

Fiorina????
She has been beaten with an ugly stick.

I'd bet Palin is a great lay. White trash chicks usually are.
My experience with brunettes has been very good. Highly recommend them.

I shouldn't have commented about what she looked like. There's more to dislike than her looks. I thought she was decent looking from pics from her college days.

Not that anyone cares, but I expect to choose a Republican ballot for the 2016 Ohio primary......and among the current candidates, I'd probably check (in order):

1 -- Rubio (my just-a-little-better-than-slight current lean)
2 -- Kasich
3 -- Christie

If all three were gone, I might actually throw my own personal caution-to-the-wind and select Trump; largely because I'm so personally-indifferent about Bush and Carson (both of whom I like as individuals, but just can't see.....Carson in particular....as President). I also still believe when the primaries get more important.....and the campaign trail gets increasingly more competitive (and ugly)......Carson's style will work against him, and he'll begin to fall by the wayside.

I'd definitely take a Democratic ballot if Cruz, Huckabee (who I actually liked a little better coming off the last debate), or Paul were the only three candidates in the GOP field. That leaves Fiorina, who I sometimes like a lot, and other times downright forces me change the channel.

I honesty haven't figured out as yet exactly where she falls on my own personal continuum.....

If the GOP candidates were the only option, I'd have to go with Kasich as #1, Paul #2, and Christie #3. Rubio seems like a spaz to me. And as more of his financial shortcomings have been revealed, the less I respect his personal discipline. Who signs a million dollar book deal and then shortly after liquidates a retirement fund with $70K in it costing him $24K in taxes and penalties? That guy is living beyond his means. And, he's a no-exceptions abortion guy. That is nutty. Plus, he looks about 30. He lacks the Presidential aura.

In Georgia, we can vote in either primary. I doubt I will vote in the Dem and will probably vote in the GOP to help a reasonable candidate get the nomination. I would

I used to like Christie but there is no doubt in my mind even though it may never be proven that he is involved somehow in the Bridgegate controversy. Regardless of anything good or appealing he may be on some subjects, that eliminates him in my consideration come a general election. Kasich and Jeb and an outside chance of Lindsey getting consideration from me in a General.

For the GA primary many months from now, I may turn in an empty ballot unless something changes between now and then. I can't support any Dem or GOP candidate in a primary.

Unlike some politicians, he has had to work for everything he's gotten. I'm sure that if there was any other way than to liquidate, maybe the Clinton Foundation could have used some of their money for influence funds to help him out. I'm no abortion nut, life of the mother etc, but there needs to be a 20 week limit on abortions on demand. It's a viable fetus at that point and even the ultra libs in Europe have the 20 week limitation.

Well, can't do anything about that......though I admit I too would prefer him to look a little more, well, "mature". But how you can make a value judgment on someone's (Rubio's) appearance while, at the same time, considering Rand Paul and his idiot little boy's haircut (and roughly comparable maturity) is something I myself find rather puzzling.

I will support any Republican in the general over Clinton. As I have said all along, Trump is the only Repub who can beat Hillary. The only question is if Trump can actually last thru the primaries since he is so unpredictable,is not a career politician and has interests beyond politics. Guys like Rubio,Paul and Cruz can't win this time but are gathering much needed exposure which may serve them well for 2020. Bush is toast. The other three will stick it out but I don't give them much of a chance. I would say it's Trump to win if he stays in.

Kasich is the only one I'd consider. Trump and Carson are a disaster. The rest...meh!

Would you vote for Kasich over Hillary?

You weren't asking me ... but there's not a chance in hell of Hillary getting my vote. I don't know that I'd vote for the GOP candidate over her either though, depending on who it is. There are always other options.

I will always vote. I have voted for Dems and Repubs in the past, but it will not be a Dem this time.

I would vote for Kasich over Hillary as well; I think she wins but don't believe she is the best bet for the future.
