Default Who Will You Vote For in 2012?

Assuming these people run, who would you vote for in 2012 for President of the US?

Let's do this periodically as the year progresses and see how things change.

You didn't list the President. Not everyone on this Forum is a rightist or a Republican.

For future polls, you may want to put the candidates in alphabetical order. Thanks!

No one, as in good conscience I cannot support any canidate nor what the political institutions stand for at this time. I however can offer my prayers though small they are that God will guide the rest of the nation.

a candidate that believes abortion is WRONG (all abortion! And this also means being for saving babies born alive during abortions if there is any way to save them with advanced medical care and not just leaving them to die!) and is a strong faithful Christian (preferably) and you can tell his/'her faith is strong by their mannerisms, their attitude and their speech.

This means I won't be voting Democrat!

Am I correct that only Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, and Ron Paul
have officially declared to be running for the GOP nomination?

That doesn't make any sense. You're not doing anyone any good by not voting at all. If somebody is going to win, you may as well vote for the one who will likely do the least evil. Not voting is unacceptable.

Yes he is strongly pro-choice, which is why I was confused by this post:
