Who are you voting for for President?

Seriously,
I have no idea who to vote for. As far as I am concerned, here are the only choices:
Barr
Pros
He's pretty much running on Ron Paul's platform.
Cons
He's a political opportunist who spoiled the Libertarian convention after being a neocon only a few years ago. This hurts his credibility in my view.
Baldwin
Pros
He's pretty much running on Ron Paul's platform.
Cons
He's a fundamentalist doing most of the right things for the wrong reasons (theocracy.) He has superstitious social views which negatively inform his social platform.
McKinney
Pros
She's vocal on 9/11 and Zionists throughout her career. She's bold and courageous, and has a strong anti-corruption platform.
Cons
She's a total socialist who wants to throw money at problems- I gave up on that philosophy a while ago. She's also occasionally impulsive and embarrasses herself. The Green Party platform in particular is also very collectivist-oriented and proposes governmental solutions for social issues which I don't think are a solution.
Nader
Pros
He's a longtime anti-corruption and anti-corporate crusader. He's persistent and in it for the long haul. Despite the spoiler image, he's charismatic, popular, and most importantly, effective as a consumer advocate.
Cons
He's also very socialist, and might as well be running as a Green.
