I bet that if Obama and McCain were in a movie, McCain would get cast as the baddie. He just has that look.
really it doesn't matter
Obama is taking the ideal route, feeding on everyone's anger towards the Bush administration
while McCain is getting the support from every Republican, conservative, and evangelical out there, the sheeple, that they are
...The two things i don't belive in: God and Government

I think Obama will win. But then again, I thought Kerry would win too. I learned to never underestimate the stupidity of the average american voter.
Obamas got it hands down. Altough McCains friend Sarah Palin will get some votes! I would love to put my ram stick into her floppy drive!
I'm certainly surprised at all the ?republicans are dum " bullshit that I hear from every 14 year old "political activist". Either choice is bad it all just depends on your preferred flavor of suck.
Having studied each candidate carefully, I'd have to say that I will vote for McCain and I believe he will win. Although I don't think he was the best candidate that ran, of the two, he's the only one who can and will benefit the country of the two who are left.
If you really want to analyse US elections, look through the elections on wiki and google a few links. That's what I've done, and I think Obama will NOT win, though he should win. Should, however does not mean I would like him to win.
Basically, the republican party is so weak after two terms of Bush as long as the democrats can put up any average presidential potential who is still breathing by november, they would win. However the dems took a huge risk and put forward a black man (and a woman), so they immediately lost 12 of the 13 southern states, and possibly reduced their chances in Florida too. I'm not saying everyone in the southern states is a racist and sexist, but I am saying a black liberal lawyer from the North running up against an old white war veteran is going to find it hard pulling southern votes. Historically in order for the democrats to win US elections you need the southern states: Kennedy/Johnson won because Johnson was governor of Texas; Carter won because he representated the new integrated south with the support of southern whites he carried most of the southern states, Carter was governor of Georgia; Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Compare that with Obama? Also, young people from minority groups really striving for reforms like Kennedy (Catholic) and Obama (Black) will probably be assassinated anyway.
Obama should win because he is the progress candidate running for change and reforms, so at least he is trying to do something about the current mess. But I really don't care whichever side wins, because it will make no difference for US foreign policy.

i dislike barack, because he seems too naive. he seems to think all of our problems can be solved so easily.
and did you notice, he is always talking about "CHANGE", but does he ever say any specific PLAN for how to change things?
mccain atleast has a plan for how to help fix this country. yes, the plan isnt completely perfect, but atleast he has a plan.
i seriously think barack might damage this country even further if he becomes president.

Well, I haven't read about their views on things much but I think McCain will win. Mainly because he chose Palin as his vice president. But I guessed Georgia had a chance against Russia, so pfffft, what do I know? (What the hell Georgians? Army of 32 000 soldiers? "But they had American training and weapons!" It's no use if the army is too small!)
Hehe, John McCain... Imagine!
"WAR ON TERROR" now in theatres!
Osama: "MCCAIN!! I'll be baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"
McCain: "Yippeekiyay!"
Continuing on the movie line, McCain is a better choice, because the moment you get a black president, there's gonna be huge asteroids hitting Earth and aliens invading.
Don't they get bored from having only two big parties? In my opinion, there should be at least 3 big parties, just to make politics more interesting.

Yeah. US has one party which is on the right. And then the other party is a bit more on the right.Labyrinth post=18.71728.735047 said:

When does any politician go into the specifics. Obama has gone into much more detail about what he intends to do on his website than McCain who is now also spouting the same "CHANGE" bullshit that Obama has been saying since day one. He is doing the same thing Bush did against Gore which his copy what your opponent says and make it seem like your idea.tthor post=18.71728.736349 said:
Being a country founded on ideals, I believe we need and idealist to lead it. I would vote for McCain but, the last 8 years have changed him. He is not the same person who ran against Bush in the 2000 primaries.
We're fucked either way.
As someone said before:
Obama = assasination + person who did it will be charged of hate crimes
McCain = Dead 2 days into the presidency.
But I tells ya, That Pallin person, she's the one.
She was the governor of Alaska.
Which is right next to Russia
Which means she had to deal with the Russianese!!
"In Russia, Pallin votes YOU!"
ermmm, whatever, we're screwed anyway.

I hope that Obama wins, because if he doesn't, the U.S.A. will officially be insane.
Insanity: trying the same thing multiple times and expecting a different outcome
Some Republicans seem to think that Obama's taxes will place too great a burden on Americans, but if they do, so what? Do people honestly think that getting out of our national debt will be easy or painless? What I say to Republicans who complain: you voted for the idiot who caused this TWICE, now deal with the consequences.
