If their views (on EVERYTHING that matters - problems in society and the world, solutions to the problems, specific ways of going about them, views on things that affect me, etc) match mine more than another candidate, than they should have my vote.  (I'm not of voting age yet, unfortunately... but you know)  I think that that should be the primary method of choosing.  Debating and speaking skills are certainly important, but, as far as most candidates go, they've already got that shit down.
