Who will win, Obama or McCain?

[Dark Lord Al]

To be honest voting for Obama or McCain is a bit like voting for Labour or Conservative in the UK . Its very difficult to put your name down for either as they are both " TURDS IN A PUNCH BOWL " , but thats the choice you get , so usually you dont bother to vote or you vote for the lesser of 2 evils.

Here ends the lesson from Dark Lord.

[Kev]

It will be McCain, no way in hell America elects a black man to the presidency.

When you add to that the facts that he has an Arab name and is rumoured to be a secret muslim...........

The only choice less likely was that they elect a woman.

[Plopeater]

Not that I care but I think Obama

[El Kabong]

I'm voting for McCain, he's right on the war, he's right on drilling, he's right on taxes, and he has experience to back it up AND if the American people truly want someone who can work with either party they want McCain as he's not afraid to work with the Democrats on something if it makes sense.

I believe that America will be suckered into voting for Obama who is not even a one term senator. Barack hasn't had much experience, what the hell is a "Community Organizer" and how the hell is that going to help us?


Right now with what we're dealing with McCain is the obvious choice

[Lance Uppercut]

There both decent candidates. McCain is one of the few career politicians at a national level with a true independent streak. He is also a moderate and sort of deserves to be president because of his service to the county.

Obama on the other hand has that intangible Kennedy-esk quality that you dont see very often. Also, unlike McCain he did not vote to start the "preemptive" war with Iraq.(and I am aware he wasn't in the senate then).

That being said, Iraq is getting better and I think despite what they say to pollsters, when they get into the voting booth, many American will have a problem electing an African American. I think McCain will squeak this one out.

I'm voting for Peter Griffin...

Facts and evidence just don't matter to you, do they?

I know i'll probabably get blasted for this, but voting is silly, it's all a big game letting people think they have a voice in the process, so we can't bitch about it down the road. Our votes aren't even counted they are just used to supposidly influence the elec college who is up for grabs not for the people but whoever has the most cash. For example what good does it do at all to be in california and support McCain when this state will never go republican. Look how much of a say we have in their salries, which continue to skyrocket while teachers here in cali are getting laid off due to lack of funds, now here in cali they want to cut pay for state workers to 6.55 an hour less than fast food joints pay like the state employess had anything to do with the budget. People are loosing jobs while politicians are on vacation not loosing a thing. But pay any money you owe them late and go on vacation and see what happens when you get back. Don't hate me just my opinion. Voting is a huge waste of time. It's become a circus, wrestlers, actors and various others in office that have no experience but win elections based on thier name and hype instead of qualifications, you tube debates with people dressed in costumes, paris hilton spifs, tire gauges etc, it's just too much it's a wonder that there are people out there that can look at the whole thing with seriousness at heart, i see no difference between politics and the wwe or f or whatever it's called these days.

Vote for Paris Hilton, she cannot do any worse than any of the other politicians which are all part of the establishment.

I agree to an extent. Politics today is so far removed from any ideals. China has the Olympics. Its a single party communist state for christs sakes. But then of course Western politics is single party too. Labour or Tory there really is little to distinguish the middle ground they are scrabbling for. Nothing really makes any difference. Only an optimist would think otherwise and they are most likely deluded.

As with all elections there's an element of "it doesn't matter who you vote for the government always gets in" and it's certainly no different in America. There'll be very little difference no matter who wins except the Democrats don't have insane economic policies.

It would be great if the campaign coverage featured the actual policies of the two sides but since one side doesn't have anything to offer but negative adverts and the media is too cowed to call them on it that's what we're stuck with.

Coming from a Brit who knows american politics inside out

Obama HAD a real chance at this election. He just shot himself in the foot too many times. And the mass media praises him as the next coming of jesus, which gets old fast.

Im going to exercise my power not to vote this election.

Or maybe I should vote McCain to counteract ludacris's vote?

Ludacris is so stupid he probably thought that would help Obama. Or he is being paid of by republicans. Neither would surprise me.

[Kirkland Laing]

It looks like it's going to be Obama unfortunately. What will probably clinch it for him is the economy continuing to go south. Americans will not want another four years of Bush economics come November. It's starting to look like the subprime meltdown was the tip of the iceberg and there'll be plenty more bad news between now and November, although I'm guessing the worst won't become apparent till after the election. But there'll be more than enough problems to sink McCain no matter how dirty his campaign gets over the next few months.

[Wayne]

I just can't vote for anyone with no fiscal responsibility. He wants to finance a war with another country's money and has no valid plan to pay back dime one. Because of Bush the dollar is plummeting and gas is going up (this is only a temporary reprieve as the consumer offsets will count for nothing when the dollar continues to drop in value). Think about it, the national debt doubled under Reagan and Bush I and they were pikers in comparison to Bush II. And McCain wants to take the baton and keep going.
