Obama or Mccain

So who do you vote for?
no jokin around or making fun of em be serious bout em..

im not very smart about politics so i will be quiet mostly but no one made one and it surprised me since its election day.. so go on and debate.. and vote now!

for me i would vote for mccain because im republican.. tho if it got right down to it i like some of the things obama says he will do about healthcare..

if you get RIGHT down to it.. to the deepest level.. they are both rotten rich bastards.. im not joking i really believe this..

its very unfortunate that all the good honest people who run for president just dont have the money to satisfy their respective party..

Obama won this election easily. It's gonna be a landslide. I'll be at the party for Obama later tonight.

Obama. Even if you're a republican, it doesn't make sense to vote for McCain. He has flipflopped on so many issues - pretty much changing his mind (not because of new evidence) on every issue. The man he was in 2000, is but merely a ghost. The real McCain is dead.

Right now he's a huge puppet. If he wins, I don't care - but that just screams rigged. (See conspiracy theory topic ). Obama should have this with a landslide as Dragon said.

If McCain hadn't chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate I would have been okay with any outcome. That choice though was too much.

Btw, I was just thinking today, how many people on this forum can vote? I can...But I figure I'm above the average W3 player age.

I live in Canada, but I follow the news pretty regularly.

I heard that 22 other countries were polled and all 22 wanted to see Obama win. Don't have source, or how/who they polled, but I'm not surprised.

If McPalin wins, I just may move to Canada...

Ya, come to Canada. We rock. Seriously. (Though our current Prime Minister is meh) Not worse than Bush/Chaney or McPalin though.

yay for canada!

whats wrong with palin?

and with how the poles are looking right now it seems that obama is winning.. not by a landslide but still above mccain..

EDIT: just looked at the national precentage.. its obama 50% mccain 49%

err how is california, washington, oregon, idaho, alaska, and hawaii 1% of the nation's votes?


also obama ftw! (people from hawaii = win)

If you don't pay attention to the news, you wouldn't know. She's a hottie though. Just shouldn't run a country.

everything.

the reason she isn't fit for the job is because
-alaska has limited perspective, 3rd least populated, country is almost fully white and english, etc...
-she 'shoots before looking', saying something but being unable to back it up with info; basically, everything she says is either exaggerated or opinionated. something the bush administration has done for 8 years. (go look at the 'everything')


ALSO: edit to my last post...

how is HALF THE COUNTRY 1%?!!? either your math is bad, or the middle-east just assaulted us.

i didnt do the math it said on the news.. dont get bitchy with me kuro

I'm not surprised. Obama just won. United States - Land of the Terrorists.

since when is fifty percent 1%?

what news are you watching?

dont get bitchy with me demonic.



and barti... you're not surprised that half the country is 1% because obama won?

demonic i laugh at the fact that you haven't seen the error on your part yet.

Chill out guys. Obama wouldn't approve.

obama would approve of the fact that he had a landslide victory.



i'll drop it when demonic accepts the set fact that 50% is not 1% D:

and that the news people didn't say that, he did.

i said obama was 50% mccain was 49% and that 1% remaining was probably independant..

who cares obama won it anyway..

at the time you posted this, a lot more than 1% of people didnt vote.

and obama won by a LANDSLIDE, not by a 1% lead!!!

but yeah obama did win

Do you watch FOX or something Demonic...? Seriously even Daily show/Colbert Report knew Obama had it in the bag, and were posting regular updates to how much he was winning.

Just got kicked out of the Obama wintastic party. Both candidates had great speeches though. I wish I could hear the Mcain win speech and the Obama loss speech also.

Mccain had a win speech...

but obama never had a loss speech


but anyway isn't it awkward to have to write your own loss speech/plan one? (or your writer's loss speech, w/e)

No, you just go up there and wing it.

I got really confused by something Bart said... Land of the terrorists? What's with that? The way I read it was that because Obama won, the U.S. is suddenly comprised of terrorists... I was thinking about something along those lines this morning...

Obama winning is a hollow victory. Why? Because some asshole from the crazy fundamental religious right will probably kill him. Yeah, at that point, the U.S. will be a crazed nation of true terrorists. All it means to be a terrorist is to get people to think your way by use of terror. Whether that terror is threat of death or threat of economic instability is your call.

I'm surprised nobody has challenged the "landslide victory" comments;

Obama won by a margin of 186 electoral votes with 349 vs. McCain's 163. However, one should note that the popular vote was much closer. From reuters.com :

"Obama won at least 349 Electoral College votes, based on state voting, far more than the 270 he needed. With 96 percent of the popular vote counted, he led McCain by 52 percent to 46 percent."

So by popular vote he only lead 6% +/- 4%

Hardly a landslide when viewed from that angle, I think.


Whatever you call it though, I'm glad he won.
