so what do you think of that then?

I'm for it. He seems sensible with a good team. Whenever I heard Mcain he just seemed to be going on about fighting.
You know who Obama really reminds me of ? Saint Tony of Blair, circa 1997. Let's hope he does a better job.

Good for him, Lets give him a chance........


Give him 3 months and they will be at war with outer mongolia for some obscure reason

To take the voters minds off the impending depression?

I don't see him as a warmongerer at all. I thought part of his popularity was based on his desire to improve the rest of the worlds perception of USA. Unless I have completely missed your point?

Same here really, maybe even worse - the "ruling party" that forms Govt does not need to get 50% of the vote.

But things get tricky in this case, plus they still have the MOST seats, just not a clear majority.

I still find it hilarious that the majority of the people can vote for one guy, and the other guy becomes president anyway.

And these people have the nerve to "export democracy"

That can happen in the UK as well

Huuuge turnout in Virgina.

30-40% of all registered voters cast their vote by 10am!!

Saw on TV last night, "We don't vote for baby-killers in our family".

, we prefer to send the adults to die abroad.

Would anyone on here vote for McCain (apart from Bagpuss of course)?

Whenever I've seen an American citizen asked why they're voting for McCain the only reason they can come up with is "Obama is a terrorist" or ''Obama is a Muslim".

Apparently that's a good enough reason for many. However, perhaps people just think it's more acceptable to say 'Muslim' than 'Coon'. I think perhaps we should export some of our overly-PC-ness to the USA, who could maybe do with a bit more of it (and we would be well off with a bit less).

[PM-Junkie]

do you have a source or a recent poll that says McCain is currently in the lead?

...because the republicans are experts and well practiced at vote rigging?
