What weighs most heavily in deciding which candidate you support?

[Sparkly]

I know, I know, "All of the above." But which is the PRIMARY (no pun intended) factor?

And I also know it's easier to think of what factors we weigh AGAINST other candidates, but this is a different question.

1. 1and 2.

I voted "policy positions," but it doesn't matter to me what the candidate says during the campaign, if there is no record behind him/her to support those words.

A candidate's record validates or invalidates their positions on issues.

4. Same here. So, I'll balance out your vote for answer #2 with a vote for answer #1.

2. Allegiance to the Constitution.

My ability to believe they will honor the oath of office.

3. I should have added "Other" -- I'll do that now. nt

5. Integrity and leadership which I think is covered under #1.

For me, PP,P,PI are meaningless if there is no chance of enacting them. Without integrity there is no way to tell if they are window dressing or real. Jumping on the band wagon and co-opting the ideas of others is not leadership.

7. Deeds, not Words......

I put Honesty first. "I misspoke" just doesn't cut it with me.

9. Madison Avenue leads this poll.

I've got a really good bridge and some prime realty I'd like to sell.
