Poll is open to everyone btw.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

I assume you mean who we'd prefer as president, then?

[RI]

Huntsman, as I prefer not to vote for libertarians barring extenuating circumstances.

Either for President or just the winner of the Republican primary.

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

Both would be much better for the country than Perry, Romney, Bachmann, Christie, Ryan, Gingrich, Santorum, Cain, Trump, Palin, etc

[Zarn]

You do realize that Ron Paul will somehow win this poll? Although Intrade says Romney has a 43% chance of winning this forum poll, Huntsman has a 24% chance, and Johnson has a .8% chance, Paul will simply win.

Huntsman and Johnson is close to a toss up for me. It comes down to their abortion stances. I'm not all to familiar with Huntsman's, but I doubt I would like either of their stances. If Huntsman is more pro-life, my edge goes to him. If it's about the same, then edge Johnson.

[Roemerista]

Huntsman. He is far more acceptable on drug issues.

Huntsman is more pro-life. He favors a right to life amendment (constitutional amendment banning abortion) while Johnson is pro-choice in the first trimester.

[Eraserhead]

Johnson probably.

Huntsman - Admits the existence of climate change
Johnson - Pro-choice in first trimester

Why are they in the Republican party?  Those stances ensure they will not get the nomination baring massive voting fraud in the GOP primary

[Niemeyerite]

They would be good presidents, people I could vote against the wrong dem. candidate.
But Johnson has the edge. I like libertarianism.

[Middle-aged Europe]

The H-Man.

Libertarians are too crazy, although not as crazy as the religious right-wing nutjobs.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Huntsman is Obama in Whiteface.

Johnson.

I also am for Huntsman as is.

[Pyro]

Johnson. I agree with about half of his positions. (Same applies to Paul)

I don't like a Constitutional amendment banning anything, unless it is banning the government from doing something. I really don't agree with the approach.

Johnson being pro-choice is also bad.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I agree more with Johnson, but Huntsman is probably the better President. I love both of them, but Huntsman has experiance in foreign policy.

[Brandon H]

Johnson. Glad to see him at the debate (even though he only got 5 questions).

[Ⓐnarchy in the ☭☭☭P!]

Well, Gary is the more libertarian of the bunch, so I go for him. Mind, he has always struck me as being less firm in belief and weaker in fiscal policies than Paul, even if I prefer some of his views.

Huntsman believes in evolution and says so, which is unfortunate since everyone should believe in evolution the same as everyone should believe in gravity. Huntsman also believes in anthropogenic global warming, so it's a bit like announcing a belief in atomic theory followed by a belief in the Four Humours, the reasonable belief counteracting the stupid one.

In terms of policy, well, he's alright. His economic views aren't any good, but at least he supports political freedom and opposes the wars, which at least puts him ahead of Perry, Romney, Bachmann et al.

[King]

I like Johnson's positions, but he's too goofy.  He should have run for Senate in NM years ago and become the Ron Paul of the Senate.
