Watching the 2nd debate on tv. Say what you will, but this is McCain`s last chance to save his election, and IMO...Obama is owning him. Just watch the Republicans start grasping at straws in coming days. I bet anything they start showing pics of Obama dressed like a muslim and sink even lower as their campaign goes further down the crapper. Yep...I`m voting for Obama!
(oh wait...I`m too young to vote AND Canadian...haha...o well...go Obama!)
It'll probably be a tie because no one will land a "knockout punch", of course undecided voters might be swayed by McCain's ability to look at the moderator when he talks. Obama typically circles to his left that is sure to hurt his chances.
If I hear "My friends..." one more time I might lose it.
God I hope Obama wins.
McCain is laughable. "I am going to get him, I know how to get him, but I'm not going to telegraph my punches like Obama did"
::**
Every time it is a tie Obama`s voter count goes up. So yea...a tie is just fine ;)
Hey Youngblood, out of curiosity, who would you vote for on the 14th if you were able to?
Sad thing is, you're probably smarter and more well informed than 90% of the people who are allowed to vote.
Thus is going to be a tough election to pull the lever on.At any moment I expect Mccain to start yelling out for his slippers and apple sauce flailing his arms.And that playing on fears shite is real tired.With Obama.....Im just not feeling him at all.Too whimsical and wishy washy. One thing I can not stand is the moderated forums that they use...way to structured and rigid.....just put them at a table with two mics,get rid of the red,yellow,green lights and dictatorial Brokav and let them hash out the issues.
McCain tried here to implore that hokey cornball tone that Palin did in spots.
Sorry, I don`t discuss canadian politics. Might sway one of the voters, plus it is just kinda boring haha. I have to admit, the U.S. elections are much more compelling, and likely will have a greater impact on our future as a country.Quote:

To me it comes off as incredibly contrived and condescending. He sounds like he's talking to the functionally retarded.Quote:

Fair enough. I'm going to vote NDP for the 1st time. It saddens me. I can't believe I'm supporting a man with a mustache.Quote:

I will say one thing about the NDP. Here in the north, the NDP is the only government that hasn`t overlooked us and pandered to the metropolitis of Toronto and its voting base. I tend to believe them more then I do the other parties. Our region has always supported the NDP more then other areas of the country, and rightfully so...as they have done more walking then talking for our northern interests.Quote:

lol yea. McCain fricken hates Obama. I swear I can see his blood pressure rise every time Obama opens his mouth. I keep watching and waiting for him to lose the plot and sucker punch him...haha...would be awesome!Quote:

A CNN poll of undecided voters says Obama won 51-34.
I saw that too, I wonder if he did end up shaking his hand. What I saw was him shake Michelle's hand and then Obama go to shake his hand, get snubbed then shake Cindy McCain's hand. Wonder if anyone in the press picked up on that.Quote:

I didn't watch the debate, but I wanted to (spending time with the missus and her IM-TEE-VEE). It's sad to me that we judge someone's politics based on body language and likeability. Obama didn't make eye contact, or McCain sounded too bland, etc. Why do we tend to value fluff over actual content? I don't care if Obama or McCain is likeable- can either guy do a sufficient job is my question.
I thought Obama was very good, he really has gotten better from the early Democratic primary debates.
Otherwise, I mean obviously nothing's changing my mind. I'm as likely to shoot myself (or one of you people :D ) as I am vote for McCain.
BTW am I the only who gets annoyed by McCain's constant "My friends" bullshit :confused: Come up with something else John, variety is the spice of life.
I'm tired of all of them saying "folks". Never before in a presidential election have I seen candidates want so badly to show their middle American roots.
I know it would kill his chances at election, but I would love to hear Obama respond to an offensive question with, "Nigga, please." I'd vote for him like 52 times if he did that.
14 year olds interested in politics ? bloody hell at that age i thought wet dreams, meant how many times you pissed in the bed as a little kid.
How many times did you piss the bed anyway? Seeing as we have the question going...lolQuote:

But speaking of diapers, and back to politics...I'm guessing McCain had to run out of the town hall last night so fast to change his. :p

A 13 year old was on COnan last night talking about politics and I thought of you. IF you are annoying as him I would probably not talk to you however.
If your replies to my posts continue to be as feeble and narrow-minded, the same goes.Quote:

Yes, I understand that, but asking someone "who do you think won the debate" is a pretty unbiased question.Quote:

Still depends on how they asked and who they asked
We agree on something.Quote:
