		<description>Obama supporters are such hypocrits.

Palin in not experienced enough, yet Obama is?

Obama is a smart Ivy-leaguer, yet it was the same type of people running the institutions going bankrupt?

Obama brings change, yet you&#039;ll never get to question his changes because you&#039;ll be called a racist.

Obama is different, yet if he dies he chooses someone exactly like McCain to replace him?

You trust Obama, yet he&#039;s had to distance himself from everyone he ever knew in order to stay in the race?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m voting McCain because I think its important to show the commie fags that there will be no tolerance for radical progressive thought that might ameliorate flaws in the present system. Of course, I could accomplish (nearly) the same thing by voting obama, but I know that a republican will dish out the injustice and intolerance I so desperately want. Dems are always kinda wishy-washy on that.</description>

		<description>Seems to me that McCain and Palin will get us closer to that apocalypse much faster. Why can&#039;t you guys get Bill Clinton back, he was cool. Dunno why you all got so bent outta shape when he shagged that chick, all politicians are dicks anyways.
Well I guess it&#039;s got nothing to do with me, we got our own problems...</description>

		<description>McCain and Palin will win this election.  They&#039;ve proven themselves as hard workers, parents to overwhelmingly large families, and leaders and heroes in incredibly unpopular and harsh locales  (Alaska and Vietnam - you couldn&#039;t give me enough money to spend a year in either one, well maybe in Alaska, on a well-appointed cruise ship).  I don&#039;t think there is any situation that McCain or Palin could be presented with that would shake their confidence or that they would not be able to respond to in an intelligent and efficient manner.

Go Georgia Bulldogs, #1!</description>

		<description>The Republicans are socialists. They&#039;re gonna give my money to a bunch of bankers who can&#039;t to their jobs right. That&#039;ll have to be paid for. The Democrats at least pay for stuff up front with tax increases. The Republicans let the deficit balloon til we go bankrupt. Then the rich bankers will leave to the Carribean and then everyone will need a gun cause it&#039;s gonna be like Escape From New York up in here.</description>

		<description>Who &lt;i&gt;will&lt;/i&gt; be the next US President? Don&#039;t expect this poll to accurately predict the answer to that question because the majority of the US citizenry is socially and fiscally more conservative than your average Neatorama reader. 

Plus, I think if even some of the Obama supporters really knew who he was, who his biggest supporters are, and honestly evaluated his experience as it relates to executing the duties of President, his support would be pretty weak. Obama ran on the empty promises of &quot;hope&quot; and &quot;change&quot; but in truth offers little of either. About the only thing he&#039;ll deliver is higher taxes, more spending, and more socialism. 

Anybody But Obama.</description>

He is as socialist as Hilary. They are nearly identical except for a few issues.

Socialism is a huge mistake for America.</description>

		<description>I prefer tud sandwich.  I was really thinking of voting for giant douche, but I think turd sandwich has some really great ideas.

Seriously though.  After the recent supreme court ruling on the D.C. gun ban where 4 out of the 9 justices revealed they are not literate enough to read the second amendment, I&#039;m pretty worried about who will be appointing the next justice.  That&#039;s the only reason I want McCain to win.  

Both will f888 up the country.</description>

		<description>I actually hope Palin gets to be president.  Not because I think she&#039;d do well; not because I particularly agree with her politically;  Because I&#039;m sick of presidents who have nothing in common with the people they lead.  Obama is young and black, but he&#039;s still a typical politician -- rich, Ivy League, etc.

Palin is the next best thing to a 3rd party candidate.</description>

		<description>I have no idea if Obamas gonna win. I can only control my vote. Everyone else can do whatever they want. 

I note no one has been doing much defense of Bush the lesser. Kind of painful. Shit, he had the boots, he was from Texas, he loved God and his Momma. Don&#039;t abandon the guy. I&#039;m sure he needs some hugs right now.</description>

Obama is a good speaker and nothing else. I do not really like McCain either but he will do. Palin knows how to cut useless crap just like she did in Alaska. Hopefully she will get McCain to do the same for the huge number of useless crap out government is doing. It needs to get back down to security for our country and not supporting all the people in our country.

We need to crack down on all the illegals and the Americans which take advantage of the government. I know of far too many corrupted towns and people who can do pretty much anything they want without any trouble.</description>

		<description>From reading this thread, it seems even Obama&#039;s supporters don&#039;t really believe he&#039;ll win.

I think an Obama victory is still a depressingly strong possibility, with 90% of the media acting as part of his campaign team. However, the debates will show both candidates, and there the contrast between McCain and the empty suit will become apparent. There is still hope.</description>

		<description>Palin looks like some douchebag news anchors who doesn&#039;t understand the words she&#039;s saying she just knows to say it with the manditory smirk. 

From what I&#039;ve heard of McLame&#039;s ads, he hates the Republicans too. He spends all of his time maverick like, bucking the system. 

McLame and Palin - together they fight crime.</description>

		<description>I am voting for Obama, but I have a terrible sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that McSame and his moose-killin&#039; partner will win.   By the way, is there something wrong with Mrs. McSame&#039;s eyes and Palin&#039;s eyes too?   They both looked cross-eyed to me.  Did you see the video of Palin as a Sportscaster?   Seriously, take a look and tell me she wasn&#039;t cross-eyed.   Just wondering......I guess there&#039;s no rule saying cross-eyed people can&#039;t run for office too.</description>

		<description>Will you Americans /please/ get it over with so the rest of the world can have its media back? The BBC is full of it, heck, even the French media won&#039;t leave it alone!</description>

		<description>Interesting to note that almost everyone here who asserts Obama will win cites their contempt for Republicans as the reason.  Meanwhile, most who favor Republicans cite the Republican platform and values as the reason McCain will win.  Either way, and as usual, this race isn&#039;t about Democrats, it&#039;s about Republicans. The GOP is clearer, more direct, and ultimately more substantive.  The Democrats, for their part, appear to be not so much for anything as they are against Republicans.</description>

		<description>I voted Obama because I really think he&#039;ll win... (I&#039;m tired of Republican politics, that&#039;s for sure.)  

I&#039;m not too sure this will be the great thing it seemed to be when he was roaring through the primaries- is it just me or has Obama lost his zip lately? Also, can he really deliver? Can anyone? Is he more than a great orator and personality? 

I liked McCain&#039;s statement a couple weeks ago that he&#039;d have a bipartisan cabinet... but would he? Could he? Would the fighting ever end? I&#039;ve always been a McCain fan but he&#039;s somehow not adding up to my expectations since he&#039;s actually finally managed to get the nomination. AND- he&#039;s been totally overshadowed by Palin...

Someone more real than Dumbledore proly said this first (in other words, JK Rowling proly borrowed it but I wouldn&#039;t know from whom)- proly the only people who are really fit to lead others are so scared of it that they refuse to. (that&#039;s a bad paraphrase)</description>

		<description>What makes anyone think the People choose? US presidential elections have been managed at least since 1912. Sure the outcome eventually depends on the ballot, but there are managers who can control public opinion through the media. What seems to happen is the winner is chosen, then constrained to adopt the required special interest policy line by threats of support for their opponent. A good example would be the 1948 Truman-Dewey contest where, Truman being chosen but reluctant on some policy points, there was a blatant auction of special-interest influence, to the point that Dewey was sure he would win and was quite surprised to lose. Managing that election required someone to die. Go read about it.

In this year&#039;s contest - my opinion only, of course - Hillary was the chosen one, and the surge of grass roots support for Obama in the primaries was unexpected and problematic. Clinton&#039;s shocked sense of entitlement and reluctance to give up was quite  understandable in the circumstances, but Obama couldn&#039;t be managed out of the way without the manipulation becoming public. So now he&#039;s being &quot;encouraged&quot; to toe the special interest line by the threat of the White House being handed to McCain. Personally I don&#039;t think there&#039;s much chance that will happen. I think it&#039;s been decided that the Dems should get the White House and JM&#039;s recent poll bounce is just to warn BA that he has to obey.

I&#039;m sure this post will attract some disagreement. After all, if everyone knew how it worked, it wouldn&#039;t work any more. Trust me though, the candidates know how it works.</description>
