I think I''m going to vote for Obama too.....even thought the media brings up all his hate for america, I''m going to ignore all these facts and vote for him, because we need change.....change is more important than experience anyday.....Obama is young, and being young is so much more important, then him negotiating with terrorists.....You got any more Barry-Berry Koolaid, I ran out

I''''ll take my chances with him rather than Obama on the loose, preening around the White House. I shudder to think what that man can do with a rubber-stamping Democratic Majority and the liberal press at his back.

I liked Hillary Clinton but will take my chances with Obama. I think the lies Bush perpetrated on the American people weren''t just a propensity of his presidency but entrenched as a culture in the Republican Party. Lies are a basis of much wrongdoing--corruption, illegal government conduct, horrifically misguided policies.

A vote for McCain will signify that Americans are complacent about the seriousness of misleading public opinion and make it hard to insist on a high standard of ethics in politics and government.

Let me see if I got this one correct..No women will be dumb enough to vote for Mccain because he is anti abortion. Beautiful.. With all the issues we have to contend with, (economic,education,taxes, war, fuel price etc, etc)Abortion is the litmus. What if a woman is against abortion ??..I have never believed woman are stupid and they will in-fact vote for the person who they believe will be the best leader, whether it is Obama or McCain.

Um,

We have a candidate who had a PART-TIME "state senate" seat representing a district in Chicago''s southside, ruled by Louis farrakhan, and 3 years in the national senate, with 2 of those years RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT,

who is willing..

to use the lowest common denominator to attract votes..RACE! ovomit has used race at every turn!

So if he''s willing to rip open wounds to gain votes, what ISN''T HE WILLING TO DO?!?!

I will NEVER vote for this piece of ***, marionnette for chicago dirty politicians/money.
Hillary 12!

PUMA!

I doubt it. We''ve suffered bouts of poor leadership and interal conflict much throughout the period after the Civil War. And we''re still in one piece.

===It''''s going to be a wild ride, for sure, but I predict that Obama will win by a double-digit margin, maybe even as high as 20-25% more votes than McCain===

As A Democrat, I can only hope :) But I''ve learned to never underestimate (or overestimate) the voters and their ability to vote agaist their own best self-interests.

Even with just strong majority, McCain won''''t be able to accomplish much without Democratic agreement. He can''''t even continue Bush''''s war without Congressional funding.

What McCain CAN do is continue to staff the US regulatory agencies with former lobbyists that opposed the very agencies they head. If you like the FDA track record, if you think the FAA shouldn''t be inspecting planes, if you agree with the head of the consumer product safety division that she doesn''t need more staff and money to screen Chinese imports, than McCain is your man.

McCain is not in touch with reality, And Obama is just gonna be a democratic puppet. Hillary won''t be taken seriously because how can you run a country and you can''t keep your own household together. Either way were screwe. If history repeats itself as it usually does, Civil war is around the corner. Don''t blame me, blame the cypher...

I''m too smart to vote for McCain, but even smarter for NOT voting for Hillary.
