I usually deflect the question by asking them who they think are the good candidates. They end up by talking about their choice, without knowing about mine.
This procedure is not mere diplomatic reticence. Except among very intimate friends, I do not wish to discuss candidates. Issues, yes. Candidates, no.
The fact is, I am not really interested in the candidates. What interests me are the voters. The electorate.

Winning the electorate is something else. It means being able to have a nation understand why a candidate deserves to be voted into a position of public trust. Correct political education is absolutely necessary for a nation to effect this oft-praised but hardly-ever-realized outcome.
