50.81% Democrat Barack Obama
0.85% Other


Comment: As when Bush was elected, I don't favor the selection. It is the chosing between one of two evils, and with Hillory now out of the race my pick is McCain. from Pensacola by Tonya

Comment: No one other than John McCain from Cantonment fl by Jerrie

Comment: We don't need 4 more years of Bush'd policy from Crestview by Daniel

Comment: Nobody knows much about Obama except that he has a radical left leaning history and buddies around with some very strange people who seem to hate American. from Pensacola by Oscar

Comment: Obama has no experience running anything, not even a family business. from Pensacola, Fl by JRoAnne

Comment: Mc Cain is a carbon copy of Bush with same republican old ideas. from Navarre, Fl. by C J

Comment: His track record shows he is willing to work with the Democratic Party to find middle of the road solutions for our country's problems. I also admire him for his military service and feel that he's paid his dues like allot of normal Americans. I don't feel the same about Hillary, Obama, or even Bush as far as that's concerned. by Mark

Comment: I believe that the democrats will do something about the economy and the high gas prices. also we need to do something about affodable health care for all. from Milton, Fl by Vance

Comment: Mr. Slick talker is still "wet behind the ears' in International politics, policies and interacting with other nations interests. Don't think one term in Congress qualifies him for anything other than maybe re-election to that office ,. His CHANGE theme lacked definition, with no specifics as to what change and how to finance it.. lgb from Crestview, Fl by Lewis

Comment: I sure don't trust that High Yellow! from Wing, Alabama by Jeffery

Comment: It will be Bob Barr. It will become even better known that Clinton's a Marxist, Obama is a Socialist, and McCain will not allow us to drill in Alaska. from Navarre, FL by Eugene

Comment: My family are democrats, but will not vote for Obama. So, we will vote Republican. from Pensacola,Fla by Don

Comment: I am not voting for either candidate. I am a republican, but neither of these choices are very conservative. McCain might appear more conservative that Obama, but that is only because Obama is the most liberal democrat. Republicans need a firm, conservative candidate that is not afraid to stand up to democrats and not play the middle like McCain does. from Cantonment, FL by Miranda

Comment: John McCain will be a great leader for the American people. from Pensacola FL by Terry

Comment: How can Barack Obama ever qualify for comander in chief of our military when he has never been in or around them and does not even know how to show respect when the National anthem is played? And he has never been to Iraq so how could he posibly know what is actually going on over there. from Pensacola, Fl by Raymond

Comment: It is simple; we must vote for the man that we can trust and KNOW. How can we trust Obama when we do not know him. Voting for McCain is the lesser of the evils. McCain is not evil but at least we know the man and we know that what he says is the way that it is. from Pensacola, Florida by Mary & Donnie

Comment: I would not like to see democrats take over the Presidency like they have Congress. We still need more Republicans in there. from Pace by T

Comment: mccain of course if i was still in the service i sure would not want to have a rag head for my commander in chief what will he put his hand on to be sworn in from pensacola by gerald

Comment: God Bless us all!!!!!! from GULF BREEZE FL by DIANA

Comment: We need a veteran, regardless of party, to deal with the world situation. Our military especially the USN has gone down the tubes thanks to Carter and Clinton. The sea lanes rule the world. from Gulf Breeze by Harold

Comment: Obama is not experienced enough to be president and he sure has some strange bedfellows. from Pensacola, Fl by Oscar

Comment: I voted for Hillary, but I am a democrat and the ONLY WAY I will vote for Obama IS IF HILLARY is his running mate. She did get 18 million votes and if they had all counted the way they were voted for, she would be looking for a running mate. If Barack Obama is as smart as he claims, he will choose her to WIN! from Pensacola, Florida by Ann

Comment: most closely aligned with my views and vision for the couontry. has the experience that Obama is sadly lacking, Obama's record if it is ever revealed is too liberal for me. from Pensacola by Michael

Comment: I would never vote for Barack Hussein Obama, the Manchurian Candidate, a Junior Senator, who is probably a devout Muslim. from Pensacola, Florida by James

Comment: I've always voted democrat but this time republican from navarre fl by pat

Comment: Obama has too many questionable relationships with people who are clearly anti-America and anti-white. I believe this country is in BIG TROUBLE if people do not wake up and see Obama for what he is underneath all his smooth talking! I am a democrat; however, I will NOT vote for Obama! I will give my vote to McCain (which worries me because I really do want some change from the Bush policies). However, I do NOT trust Obama, and at least I can say whole heartedly that McCain loves this country and will do his best to ensure our safety, I can not say the same thing about Obama. from Pensacola, FL by Nita

Comment: In one word, change. May God bless. from Pensacola Fl by Larry

Comment: Obama no experience. John McCain tested to the max for his/this country. from pensacola fl by james

Comment: anything is better than another republican from navarre by jim

Comment: McCain has paid his dues. Obama's too green and too socialistic. The trick will be getting the 60% of voters who did not vote in 2006 out to vote. from Navarre, FL by Mort

Comment: People need to wake up and realize Obama would be a dangerous selection. One year experience in the Senate, the other year on the campaign trail. The Stock Market will fall drasticly, and we should expect another attack as soon as he pulls all our troops home. Most people also don't realize that with universal health care, anyone over 65 will wait many months to get any help with serious illnesses, as the younger generation gets first help, older people are expendable. The Democrates don't want to tell you that. from navarre by Betty

Comment: I believe Mc Cain will do a better job. from Pensacola, FL by Pat

Comment: Weather Underground,Rezco,this should scare the daylites out of you,does me. from pensacola,fl by mike

Comment: I wanted to vote for Hillary Clinton, but because of what the republican's have done about moving up our primary against party rules it has caused her not to be the top runner. Thank you Republicans for one more tampered with Election. As will as the Michican Delagates being taken and given to Obama she was cheated out of being President the same way Al Gore was in 2000. The right of the people to vote and have there vote count went out of the window in 2000 there is no need to go to the poles anymore. But if We do vote we will go against party and vote Libaterian or may Green party if there is someone running. from Pensacola, FL by Brenda

Comment: Experience and leadership is what John McCain offers. Barack Obama has not been tested, and by the looks of the company he keeps he has some erroneous judgment. from Fairhope, AL 36532 by Anita

Comment: One thing for sure, Obama has said he is for change. Will this mean, Universal Hlthcare ? (get ready to wait in line for that minor surgery needed) To pay for all he wants to change, we the people , higher taxes ! Is this really the change we want? As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for." from pensacola,fl by Belinda

Comment: Barack Hussein Obama was schooled in an Islamic madrasah as a child, raised by a Socialist mother, and has been indoctrinated in Marxist Black Liberation Theology as an adult for the past 20 years. This makes him unacceptable for any public office or position of trust - and extremely dangerous to the security of the United States as potential Commander in Chief. from Navarre, FL by Ron

Comment: While I like and respect Barack Obama, I believe we need someone more experiencedwith the political system, particularly with our involvement in Iraq. John McCain I believe has this experience. from Destin by MaryAnn

Comment: Obama has been my candidate since the beginning. He is a great public speaker and I think he has some great ideas to change this country for the better. from Pensacola, FL by Courtney

Comment: Jimmy Carter's second term is what an Obama presidency would be. Only worse, since having another weak appeaser in the White House during this time of war is much more dangerous. from Navarre, FL by William

Comment: America is at a point in time when we so badly need change. After having George Bush as President, I am willing to accept anyone that will bring change to the White House. from Pensacola by Ms

Comment: I am sure that these words were moving for you; But it seems that our National Anthem or Pledge of Allegance doesn't even rate a hand over his heart to show respect for all that came before him. And unlike his wife; I have always been proud of my nation; I have been all around the world; sailed the seven seas in service to my country: and every time I returned to the land of the free; that takes such liberties as free speech; I will exercise mine now; How can self respecting democrats even think of electing this man to be the Commander and Cheif???? I sure appreciate the fact that our country has come far enough in race relations to nominate an African American to the highest office in our country. But Mr. Obama is no where near the Patriot in Statue or in his dreams than Colin Powell; A most honored and decorated American hero that I would be jumping over people to vote for him. To sum up this exercise; I am trying to bring to yours and everyone's attention; shouldn't the Commander and Cheif follow customs of the country he represents; or will he refuse to salute our troops as he disembarks from Airforce One also!!! from Pensacola, Fl by Rickie

Comment: I'm Republican all the way! from Navarre, Fl 32566 by Jean

Comment: This is going to be 1992 all over again, if Republicans don't step up to the plate. And they'll have no one but themselves to blame. from Pensacola, Fl by Faith

Comment: Depends on who Obama picks as VP. I'm a Hillary supporter and WILL NOT vote for him unless she's on the ticket. I'd rather vote for no one. Can't, in good conscience, vote Republican. from Pace, FL by Paula

Comment: Bob Barr Pass the Fair Tax HR25 from Navarre/FL by Eugene

Comment: MSCAIN IS CLEARLY THE BETTER CHOICE. I WOULD RATHER BE VOTING FOR HUCKABEE IN NOV. BUT MCCAIN IS MORE QUALIFIED THAN OBAMA. WE NEED A LEADER WHO WILL STAND FOR SOMETHING NOT FALL FOR EVERYTHING! from milton by debra

Comment: It's time for a change, Obama will move this country forward and make the united States respected again through out the world. from Pensacola, Fl by J.
