US President Election

Why did McCain choose Palin..does anybody have a theory why?

whatever it was, it appears to be working. probably a character thing.

Its probably because they want to appeal to Clinton fans or just a presidential publicity stunt..

probably, but the tough image also helps, they need a younger person to take the spotlight from obama

Obama could fix George Bush's mess McCain and Palin only support it..

I'm not the one you need to convince

I know that..i was only making a statement..

If anything, Palin would make Bush's mess even worse She's far more to the side of facism than he ever was, plus, her views on Global Warming are shocking, to say that least.

its pretty clear we're in trouble. I'd have thought her creationism views were more of a worry.

I honestly think its best if Obama was in office..i forgot his running mates name..does anyone remember?

Joe Biden, an experienced foreign policy guy, which is good, even if it looks like he's been going on a bit.

Thank you, i honestly think if Obama and Biden are in office the gas prices will dropp big time...i mean come on 4.19 a gallon..

any particular reason why that would happen because of those to? apart from that not being republican they're not under the thumb of greedy oil companies, probably.

I just have that gut feeling they will lower the gas prices..I feel that Palin and McCain will just raise them

well, the economy is the issue of the moment. which is good as that the democrats strong point, even without making the point that it was the republicans who were supposed to be keeping an eye on things. and mccain has been messing up a couple of times on policy, claiming something isn't right shortly before it happens.

Yup, it's the fact that Palin said "Global Warming is God's business so we should not interfere" that's the biggest worry o_O

VP debate tonight, should be interesting

Yup! It looks as though, despite her "appeal" to the ignorant, Biden is a little more well received

well sadly nothing much happened, given the emphasis on avoiding slip ups rather than outdoing the opponent. missed opportunity

Ok..i saw the debate between Palin and Biden...Wow..it was great..

what did you make of the recent mccain-obama one?

Tom Brokaw kept cutting them off, I barely got to see them tell what they thought of each other's plans..

I've been getting info from my cousin in america about it. he;s technically registered as an independant. this is his analysis:

Most Americans have had it with W, with a large part of the Republicans also eager to see him leave office. This being said, there are die hard folks here that will vote for whoever their party is voting for, which I find disturbing, but whatever. Most democrats I've met don't take that much of an issue with McCain as he has generally been more liberal. But they do take issue with Palin as she is viewed as being unfamiliar with many of the issues and just not up to taking the throne if McCain meets his shelf date a bit early.

I myself think that Obama may be a bit inexperienced, but still would make a fine president. It's unfortunate to see the Republicans stoop down to the level of using personal attacks to get back in the running, but oh well.

My feeling is that Obama will win, unless McCain or Palin can show that he was formerly a member of Al Qaeda.

That analysis is pretty accurate. But I feel McCain will lose because he simply agrees on 90% of the views W has.

hope so
