Vote WHO?? by SmokingCookie on 11-03-2008 at 08:20 PM
Obama or McCain?
For me: Obama
right 
The idea is to post for whom you will (/would) vote.
RE: Vote WHO?? by Basilis on 11-03-2008 at 08:40 PM
I would vote for Obama. He seems more convincing to me. That is why. Why don't you put a poll?
RE: Vote WHO?? by SmokingCookie on 11-03-2008 at 08:46 PM
Yeah, I've been searching for an "add poll" option in the "Edit post" panel.. No result

epoc faileur.
and id vote for obama just to piss of the rednecks that thinka black man ruling the world would turn the USA into a shithole.
RE: Vote WHO?? by robert_dll on 11-03-2008 at 09:23 PM
Maybe Obama... 
RE: Vote WHO?? by Rolando on 11-03-2008 at 09:47 PM
Definitely not for Palin.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/01/masked-a...-cal_n_140023.html (Yeah, I know she's just a VP. But still.)
..and I think they both suck. I just voted for the lesser of two evils (I'm purposely not saying who =P)
(and don't infer it was for Obama because I said Palin sucks. VPs do almost nothing in the US tbh.)
RE: Vote WHO?? by djdannyp on 11-03-2008 at 09:58 PM
For me it has to be Obama.......he's everything that Bush isn't (human, coherant, black, intelligent, etc)
Hopefully if he can get America to stop doing stupid things then America's lapdog (yeah, that's the UK) will start to follow suit and stop doing stupid things (like pointlessly sending our soldiers to die in other countries when our own countries are fucked up enough and need sorting!)
Palin is kinda hot tho
RE: Vote WHO?? by vaccination on 11-03-2008 at 10:03 PM
Obama
RE: Vote WHO?? by MeEtc on 11-03-2008 at 10:04 PM
I haven't been paying attention to anything relating to the US election, therefore my opinion is useless.
My vote: spoil
RE: Vote WHO?? by Dane on 11-03-2008 at 10:47 PM
McCain.
Obama is put up high on a pedestal by the media, but he's lied more throughout this race than McCain and seems to act as though he is running against Bush. McCain is not Bush.
RE: Vote WHO?? by wj on 11-03-2008 at 11:26 PM
I'm voting Obama if for no other reason then McCain's health is nothing near where a president should be and his choice of a VP is scary to say the least.
More importantly, VOTE (if old enough and not a felon). If you do not vote, you are officially not allowed to bitch about the results for the next 4 years.

Why the fuck should I vote if no candidate in my eyes will be good for our country? Also, why would not voting for a horrible leader, in my eyes, negate my right to be unhappy about some dumb-fuck that voters put into the office?
Voting for the sake of voting is extremely pointless...

That's a pretty silly opinion. You do realise if you vote for none of them it doesn't mean that none of them get in. If you don't like any vote for the least of the worst.
RE: Vote WHO?? by Walter 22 on 11-04-2008 at 04:19 PM
I don' t like politic... But I think that Obama is good.
RE: Vote WHO?? by absorbation on 11-04-2008 at 10:48 PM
As I'm currently studying US Politics, I have to be up all night following where the electoral college votes are going. Polls such as Gallup suggest Obama is in for a comfortable win, but the "Bradly effect" may distort the overall result.
People should realise that this election doesn't effect the US as much as it will effect the world. Any stalemate theorist would know the president's hold significant power overseas in terms of foreign policy. Then again, if a Democrat win does happen, then the coat-tails effect looks likely, and a strong majority will be in Congress thus meaning Obama would hold a lot more power than any other executive of the past 30 years.
RE: Vote WHO?? by wj on 11-04-2008 at 11:40 PM
You also have to look at the the senate which will likely have a Democratic Majority. It's looking like a democrat christmas today. But we'll see.

k obama is president now
RE: Vote WHO?? by Rolando on 11-05-2008 at 04:32 AM
He's not really pres. yet, Bush lost popular vote and still became pres.
..although the chances of that happening again are slim.
RE: Vote WHO?? by tony on 11-05-2008 at 04:46 AM
Yup he won now: p

I'm glad it's over... the campaigning has been going on way too long.

U.S. President - Electoral College

McCain (R) - 141
270 votes needed for presidency

I know what the electoral vote is. I never said it was likely to happen, I just said it could, and...
