I like Thompson, Ron Paul (breathe, people), Tancredo, Hunter, and Huckabee. I still like McCain, and would vote for him if need be, but his recent actions (amnesty first and foremost) have taken him off my a-list.

Thompson is like a beacon of hope on a mediocre field. But we still don't know much about him.

Ron Paul is a libertarian, and leans towards the right. Is for abolishing the income tax, the IRS, and for promoting small government. He was against the Iraq war, but because (this is my impression) he believed that it was not declared properly: basically he thought that it was one more example of the executive wielding too much authority.

Tom Tancredo is a more conservative version of Bush.

As is Duncan Hunter. But both of them are not very electable.

Huckabee is a more mild version of other conservatives -in manner, not in beliefs.

I personally don't understand the religious right's tendency toward voting. We don't have a lot of choices in a two-party system, and if people don't vote because someone's divorced, I'll be really pissed.
