So... What are you and why? Don't just say "because Edward's hawt" or "because Jacob is really smexy" or something like that.
In case you didn't know:
Team Edward: Bella should be with Edward and be turned into a vampire. Team Jacob: Bella should forget about being a vampire and stay with Jacob. Team Switzerland: Neutral/Neither/Both. For reference, Switzerland was neutral (didn't take sides) in WWII. Choose this if you like both vampires and werewolves, or you just don't like Bella at all.
Me? I'm partial to Switzerland, but now that I'm flipping through New Moon again, I'm leaning towards Team Jacob. Why? Because Edward is masochistic (trust me, you don't want that in a relationship), selfish, and whiny. ("I can't let myself hurt you again..." So you run away like a coward?)
Jacob, on the other hand, is sensible. Even if he did try to force his love upon Bella, at least he really did love her. Bella was just using the poor bastard to get visions of sugarplums, aka, Edward. Plus, Jacob got the hint.
I actually don't like Bella much. ("Why won't he just kill me and take away my soul so I can be a vampire?" "Love, life, happiness, gone.") What kind of message does that project to teen girls in relationships? Never to move on? Plus, her attraction to trouble conveniently makes up 4/5 of the drama in the series. She's a Mary Sue and I don't really like her. Jacob (and Edward, to think of it) deserves better, and I think he's underappreciated.
Still, Switzerland is mainly where I stand. I don't have anything against Edward, but Jacob is far more human and relatable, and an overall more well-rounded and in-depth character than anyone else in any of the books, and he deserves praise.

I voted Team Edward, but not because he is "hawt."
Personally, I think jacob is a jerk. He made Bella feel like she had to kiss him or he would kill himself. Everyone knows he wouldn't have really killed himself, but Bella was freaking out and not thinking straight. He wouldn't just let Bella make her choice, but kept forcing himself on her. I will admit that he was better (Breaking Dawn Spoiler) ]after he imprinted on Renesmee. [highlight]
Edward started off trying to fight for Bella, but he realized how hard it was for Bella, so he stopped and let her decide. He did leave, but he was trying to do it for her good. Yes, Edward can be whiny, but who isn't at some point? At least he didn't try to make Bella fall in love with him. He actually let her decide.

I put team Edward, but only because of what Jacob does to Bella's brain. I thoroughly believe that he manipulates her into thinking she loves him when he knows Edward is at his weakest.
But really, I'm team Jasper. Not in the sense that I want Alice to break up with him and Bella start going out with him, but in the sense that I wish I were Alice Oh come on, you know he's the best one.

Lol, Jasper is pretty amazing. I won't argue with you on that. It would be pretty sweet to be Alice, because then I could see the future too! That would be sooo awesome!

EDIT: Yelle, please take off some of the cussing censors, it's making me mad.
Okay, it's official. I just finished reading New Moon (for the second time?) and I've made my irrevocable decision.
Team Switzerland. Why? Because Bella is a freak. I can't stand Bella.
Why is this, do you say?
First of all, she insulted Jacob openly in front of Edward, after thinking about how much she loved him. She said something to the effect of "I don't care about rowdy, adolescent, teenage werewolf boys." Hello? Did she forget what happened in the entire rest of the book, or was that all Meyer's fault?
Second, Edward was professing his love to him - he proposed to her, even - and she totally disregarded all of it. She uses and mistreats Edward all the time, and every single time that he says he loves her she says he's lying.
I can't... I can't believe this character. I mean, you're fine playing her Yelle. But either this character was conceived to be hated, or Stephenie Meyer is very, very idotic to think that Bella is a model female role.
Personally? I'm heading towards team Jasper myself. Or... Maybe team Vampywolf - Edward and Jacob ditching the little tease and getting person they truly deserve, and who deserves their affection: each other.

My bad, sorry Dana. I didn't even realize that they were censored. I thought I'd changed that. It's not anymore. Just remember, use these words sparringly. You would be one to just start rambling off every cussword known to man

OMG! I totally agree with you Jacob.
I'm a 100% pure Switzerlander.
Edward is just so sweet and kind (not to mention hawt. Yeah, it's true.) He loves Bella so much. But Jacob tries so hard. He's probably better to be around because what much to Edward and Bella have to talk about except for her being eaten/dying/their love ect. It could get a tad boring. Jacob is a bit more normal.
But, if im honest, I'm a huge Seth, Jasper and James fan!!!! JAMES IS AWSOME don't you think. Everyone loves a bad boy!
