I'm a political junkie. I love politics. I have never missed even a city-wide election since I first registered to vote 21 years ago. I normally know who I'm voting for before the primaries have even started and I'm usually spot-on in my predictions of who will be on the ballot for the general election. My candidate doesn't always win, but I've done my research and I know who I am voting for - always.

This time around, there does not seem to be a presidential candidate that excites me. The choices available, even at this early stage of the game, are extremely disappointing.

I'll start with the left side of the field. I'm going to be intellectually honest and say that there's a zero-percent chance I'd vote for these folks anyway, but I should at least tell you why.

Clinton tells We The People that she's the best person for the job because she has the most experience. This would be hilarious if so many people didn't take this seriously. Brett Favre is likely going to retire this year - is Deanna Favre going to be the new quarterback for the Packers? After all, she knows his plays, she knows the team, she's talked to him about the Packers every day for over a decade. She's the most experienced person for the job, right? Or, perhaps, it is simply just time to have a woman be president. I thought it is time to have the best person for the job be president. Silly me!

Obama tells We The People that he wants to bring change to Washington. Like Hillary, the only thing that would change if Obama was president would be history. Obama's invocation of Reagan is a joke... the two couldn't possibly be more polar opposites. Obama has been in the Senate for two years and he's attached his name to nothing of any value. Incidentally, I dismissed John Kerry in 2004 for that very reason (among others).

And, speaking of Kerry, there's Edwards. Edwards tells We The People that there are two Americas. He's right. The first America is the group of people that pay $30 or less for a haircut. Then there's Edwards. Edwards made his fortune by using junk science to sue Big Healthcare, then has the audacity to complain about skyrocketing healthcare costs. Even Kerry isn't supporting his former running mate - that should speak volumes.

At this point, I've discussed the important people from the field of Democrats, and I'll do the same for the GOP.

McCain tells We The People that he's a conservative. Of course, this conservative is for open borders and more welfare. True, he's conservative when it comes to the War on Terror - if you forget the open borders issue, the First Amendment issue, and dozens of other issues. McCain also has all the charm of a carton of milk six weeks past its expiration date. That fake smile of his is just creepy.

Guiliani is a New York City liberal. Sure, he's tough on terrorism and crime. We The People also know he's for higher taxes, he's anti-Second Amendment, and he's liberal on just about every other issue. He's thumbed his nose at America's Heartland by choosing not to campaign until Florida, telling us that we won't count when it comes to running the country unless we're from a Big City. A truly sad choice for 2008 would be between the two NYC liberals - he and Clinton.

Huckabee knows how to charm a crowd. He's a former preacher and ex-governor of Arkansas. He's also a major flip-flopper on important issues. He claims that he is tough on border security, but his stint as governor proves otherwise. He claims that he's very much for issues that matter. Unfortunately, his record on keeping taxes low is dismal. Like the last Arkansan governor that was elected president, Huckabee hasn't met a tax increase that he didn't like. We The People need to keep more money in our pockets.

Even better at pleasing the crowds is Romney. We The People need to be wary of him. Romney has flip-flopped on abortion, stem-cell research, the environment, immigration, the Second Amendment and plenty of other issues. While it would be nice if Mitt had an epiphany of sorts, he comes across as merely another politician that sticks his finger in the air to see which way the wind blows.

Not to be forgotten is Paul. Paul is probably the most honest person running for office. I want to like Paul - I do, really. Paul says the right things, and his congressional voting history backs up what he says. Then, he opens up his mouth and says other things... things that the American people just aren't going to buy. Ron Paul's biggest problem is, I dare to say, Ron Paul. He gives the right message, but he's the wrong messenger.

Finally, there is the man I would like to support - for however many more weeks he is in the race. Thompson came into this race with a ton of excitement. Of all the candidates running, he is the closest to an ideal Reagan conservative. He is right on most of the issues that matter. He is folksy and likeable. But, he is also boring and, in fact, seems bored with his own candidacy. How can We The People to get charged up for someone who isn't excited about himself?

What's a conservative to do with this election?
