Re: Barrack OBama or John Mccain?

It's Obama's to lose, rather than McCain's to win. And wth at the current news poll results? Why are they neck-to-neck?! I dunno why anyone would support the Iraq War, which clearly McCain is going to do. I think there's no hope for the average American's level of intelligence and ignorance....I heard somewhere that 20% of Americans don't even know where their country is on a world map, which I surely hope is not true but if it is....the world is doomed :( Since when did quantity over quality prevail? Someone else should be the superpower for once.

Re: Barrack OBama or John Mccain?

lol katie_tully, that's so funny and yet sad at the same time. At least some were more intelligent guesses, like what is Al Qaeda? (suicide group in the Middle East), and the black guy knew what KFC stood for. One kidney in the body is pretty sensible guess....I would've fainted if he said ten like the way the guy said Paris has ten Eiffel towers.

Ah me, the Paris Hilton vid isn't that bad.
Too bad she didn't write it herself.

In other news, whatever hopes John Edwards just had of being picked for Obama's VP nomination have just gone out the door. Apparently he had an affair with a woman in 2006 and even had a baby to her, whilst his wife was suffering from a severe bout of cancer.

In relation to the Paris Hilton video, it really was a nothing video in my opinion, just a small rebuke of the McCain campaign taging her as some sort of light-weight celebrity.

Obama is against the Iraq war, but for the Afghanistan war. McCain is for both. AFAIK.

McCain is the President America should have had - indeed NEEDED - 8 years ago. But he lost the nomination to Bush and the rest (including McCain himself) is history.

Re: Barrack OBama or John Mccain?

I quite hope that Obama wins. For the reason that I honestly don't think another right-wing conservative Warhawk is what America needs at the moment.

Plus, there's a chance some racist Southern agitators will kill Obama a few years into his presidency, leaving him a martyr much like JFK, and the presidency open. So if he does poorly.... think of it as an insurance policy.

Yeah, the gruesome murder of Bill Clinton would also have been a prudent career move, both for himself and Hillary

Re: Barrack OBama or John Mccain?

Q&A was great tonight. Bob Carr said that Obama's probably lost it already: all major polls have him only within margin of error. Said that Hillary was right that he cant carry low income whites. Also, he's not even carrying the liberal north east very convincingly.
All the time, McCain has practically been asleep.

Troubling times.

I don't want a president who is going to fall asleep on the nuclear launch button.
