Go ahead and discuss... I want to hear your views.

Personally, I prefer the protoss to the others, even though I usually end up with zerg, and frankly, I'm better with zerg. Protoss is more fun for me, especially blending groups of 'goons and zealots with high templar. Plus, dark templar and dark archons are totally kick-ass.

Terran is my least favorite, since they really have no specializations, they just provide counters for the other two races.

I like the Terren they have almost the best defence which is movable. Sige Tanks can own a group so well. Fully Upgraded Battle cruser is the best unit in the game.

Protoss are fun as well but I hate the zerg I cannot do any thing with them.

I agree with what Josh is saying, except for the Battlecruiser. While they may be the toughest single unit, have the single most powerful attack, and have the ultra-awesome Yamato cannon...they are slow, not maneuverable, cost inefficient, slow to build, require 3 structures to build, and have no solid means of defense.

The Protoss carriers on the other hand are almost as tough, have rechargeable shields, cost about the same, build a little faster with a little less tech, are maneuverable, and best of all, draw almost all fire onto the interceptors while the mother ships stay out of harm's way. I believe THEY are the true masters of Starcraft...

...I think I'll make that my next poll question, though, just for giggles.

Zerg for me, if you know what you are doing you can easily build a force to be reconed with in half the time it takes the other races to get enough of a force to resist. That being said the zerg have a huge problem with 'toss, but not so much of one with terran, defilers are death to terran but mean nothing to 'toss. Sheilds bad for zerg. However the terran are by far the best race in the game, they have a unit to handle any situation. Granted it takes a lot of micro but they are amazing. Terran on the other had, have science vessles for 'toss, I love emp, nothing is better than saying "Hi I love those archons, my emp just made them 10 hp creatures. On the same token irradiate destroys zerg with a vengance, only way to stop it is to burrow the affected creature. Great for using on zerg harvesing units, most people dont even notice its going on till half their harvesters are dead. 'Toss however have shields which affect buildings BIG plus. Even the most basic of unit on 'toss have shields, this makes the odds 3 zerglings to 1 zelot, hard to rush if you get 3 or 4 zelots up before the first rush from a zerg player hits. Templars are another unit that if used properly are absolutly amazing the ability to slay masses of enemy units for a little mana is the win. I could go on for hours about untis strengths and weaknesses, the versatility of ghosts, especially against 'toss, the uselessness of ultralisks, but I think I have said enough.

Funny thing is I think the Terran are the best race and most of the time I play Protoss or Zerg. If used right the Terrans are just unstoppable.

Some good points about the Terrans being awesome. If you coordinate different types of units together, they are VERY good. The problem I have with Terran is that beyond marines, every other unit MUST be grouped with another unit type to be useful. Tanks are great, but only with marines or goliaths. Goliaths need extra ground-pounders, wraiths need ground pounders, firebats aren't really that useful from mid-game on, vakyries are only for support, ghosts (with nukes) are too slow, and usually ineffective, I hate battlecruisers, and vultures...well...does anyone ever use vultures? These are all decent units, but they have to be paired up with other unit types, whereas a massive group of hydras or goons is great on it's own.

However, you put goliaths/tanks together (my fav. terran strat) and you've got some destructive supremacy.
