There are only 2 countries in the world where McCain is leading! God I hope they make the right decision  The world is going to be a very scary place if that man gets in.
Go Obama! ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

"CNN put Obama on 53 per cent and Republican John McCain on 46. But another survey showed one in seven voters were still undecided ahead of Tuesday's vote."
Who knows! |

It just seems so crazy.
I read this really good analogy the other day about undecided voters- “To put them in perspective, I think of being on an aeroplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of sh*t with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked." 
Theres also this thing called the Bradley effect- apparently in polls white voters may say that they are voting for Obama so as not to seem racist but once they are actually in the polling booth they will vote for McCain so they think that this may boost it for McCain ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

When my boss was in San Fransico he met some very staunch McCain supporters, there reasons ?
Obama does not always put his hand on his chest when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (and therefore not patriotic enough) He is too "relaxed" on his abortion stance I dont hold much hope, this was the country that voted Bush in for another 4 years ..... -------------

I so want Obama to win, and I think he might, but will be assassinated. I remember watching a doco and the white supremists said that because he had white blood in him he can think like a proper person and not a monkey all the time   so they won't kill him.... yet. Ain't America such a great nation?!

Kandice ....are u serious ? where have you been the last , I dont know , year lol ? ...the year that we have been bombarded day in day out with news of the American political campaigners ....must say , Im very relieved that no matter the outcome , at least by thursday , it will be OVER , no more debates and campaigning all over the news .
Obama is one of the candidates for President, McCain is the other . And I agree Emz, a great nation indeed ... -------------

| emz - I so watched the same documentary as you!! I couldn't believe it....because he has some white in him he is more capable of thinking for himself but in time he will revert to his savage ways that all black people are born with (this is what was said - the guy interviewed was a member of the KKK) because they have no choice in the matter, it is their nature to revert to wild and savage ways.. |

| I would like to think and hope that obama gets in however i wouldn't be surprised if mccain gets in. America has alot of racisim issues. Interestingly i was talking to a girl at work who was telling me she was talking to a client of hers who had been reading a site and there is a guy who predicts things using the moon anyway he predicted mc cain wining he also predicted the current economic downturn that is being experienced in various degrees through out the world. |
