1. Experience is my number one concern at this point in time. As many

have said, our country needs someone who can hit the floor running to "undo" eight years of corruption and mismanagement. Also, re-establish friendships and allies around the world.

The first choice is obvious..........

2. I live in New Jersey.

So I guess I don't have to vote next year.

3. Not a fan of Strategic Vision though this Monmouth U/Gannet polls shows the same results

4. Richardson, Biden, and Dodd

each, alone, have far more experience than Hillary, so these people are badly misinformed according to those results.
