FOR THE HORDE!
Alliance are pretty cool too i guess. I only like female space goats really.
Horde is just better for me overall. The races(except BE), the lore, and most of my friends are horde.

I like the look and feel of the Alliance cities. The Night Elf lore is pretty awesome, and I just love Shadowmeld, lol. Gnomes... Can I just punt them please? I'm not too fond of the Alliance start areas. Elwynn and Westfall tick me off especially.
The Horde races are the coolest, imo. Orcs have rich lore, which makes playing one of them fun. Trolls are just baddass. Most of my characters are Blood Elves though. They may look a little gay, but their casting animation is pretty cool (mage is my main) and they're the only Horde race I can get a pally on. I don't really like Tauren too much though. Their lore is kinda cheesy, and they're just a bunch of but scratching walking steaks imo. "We're allied with the Tauren? Fabulous! We'll be having steak twice a week." - Blood Elf joke.

I love both the elf races. They have the coolest looks, coolest (and most useful) racials, and by far, the most interesting lore.
Blood elves have a weird personality though. Sometimes they seem vain and pompous (their jokes definitely are), sometimes they are just plain callous. And the fact that they are so politically divided - the Blood-Elves, The Scryers, The Wretched, Kael'Thas is part of the Burning Legion now... That kinda annoys me. I guess it's part of the hangover from being stuck with the fickle Alliance politics for so long...
On a better note, female blood elves are just plain hot (especially that mage on the loading page), and Silvermoon is easily the coolest looking city (even though it's one of the worst layouts, and it is quite isolated).
Night elves have the best lore, they have shadowmeld and elusiveness which are both great, and the females have a funny joke - "I have to keep moving at night, or I'll disappear". But I hate Darnassus. And I don't see how they fit into the Alliance (if someone can point out the section in WoW lore where they join the Alliance, please do).
As for the rest of the races.
Orc lore is great, probably the third best. Like the look of the males, not the females though. It annoys me at some of the classes that you can't roll as an orc. Kinda middle-of-the-road about Orgrimmar. The tacky design is kinda cool and definitely very Warcraft-like, but it can be annoying to get around. I hate the Barrens.
Never rolled a troll.
Tauren lore sucks balls, Thunder Bluff sucks balls, they look douchy, and they just generally seem out of place in a fighting game. Can't wait till Patch 4.0 so I can roll a druid without hating my race.
The Forsaken are pretty mad. Undercity is the best city in the game (in terms of looks and navigation), again their lore is cool, Silverpine and Hillsbrad are cool, Sylvanas is probably my favourite leader, I just don't really like their frail look. And I don't think they should be part of the Horde.
I like Stormwind and always had fun defending the front gates and the harbour in my Alliance days. The Human Spirit is a good racial, but the characters look geeky and reading Stormwind lore hurts my eyes. So much political hoo-ha. Dalaran lore was cool though - especially Kel'Thuzad and Jaina.
Dwarves look silly, Ironforge is annoying (although I like Dun Morogh), but their lore is great.
Gnomes look even sillier than dwarves.
I've never been to The Exodar (although it looks cool on the map), and Draenei look more Horde-ish in my opinion, although cool-looking. Their lore is good but not great. Their racial heal is $%^&e.
As for the factions as a whole.
I don't like Alliance politics, the only thing I've ever really liked about Stormwind lore is the co-operation between the humans and dwarves (the rest is rubbish). Dalaran and Lordaeron lore is sick though. They are passionate about hating Horde, which I like. Horde players don't seem to care as much.
Since I've been playing Horde, I've found the players a lot more friendly and helpful - community focused if you like. I prefer playing Horde, but my favourite Horde races shouldn't really be part of the Horde anyway.
This is how I think the factions should be (in terms of WoW lore):
Alliance - Humans, dwarves, gnomes
Horde - Orcs, tauren, trolls
Faction #3 (perhaps the "Co-Operation of New Lordaeron") - Blood elves and undead (enemy of Alliancce, neutral with Horde)
No faction - Night elves and draenei (enemy of Horde, neutral with Alliance)

Also guys, if you don't like a faction's quests, there's plenty of other ways to level.
