US Election 2008

Anyone see the Obama speech last night?
Wow!
He really threw down the gauntlet on McCain. We'll see how McCain responds.
If Obama keeps up his momentum, he could win in a landslide in November.

I really liked the speech too. Did you here about McCain's running mate? A
woman
from Alaska!
Either way, there will be some history making, whoever gets into office.

I haven't seen his speach, sadly, it was in the middle of the night here.
Even though I'm not an american, I hope Obama wins the election. After 8 years of Bush and war in Iraq, there's need for a change. No need for the same.
I don't get what people see in Mccain anyway, this guy is so old already, he's 10 years older than Bush now is!

I'm pretty sure he will win a landslide. I don't like either of the candidates, I think that obama is inexperienced and fake, and mccain isn't a real conservative.
I'd say Ron paul all the way, he's the only candidate that was for complete freedom, but he isn't running anymore.

It's the presidential election. Nobody wins in a landslide.

Since I don't follow US politics or know their election platforms I can't speak on that regard. But anyone who could survive 5 1/2 years of torture and beatings would make one helluva tough opponent across the negotiating table.

You're right. His army history will certainly appeal to a part of the American voters.
All I was saying is he's pretty old to become president now. Certainly when you look at the ages of the previous presidents, aswell as Obama's age. That's all

Well you asked what people saw in him, I'm sure being a war hero is a big part of his appeal. Besides, he's not much older than Reagan was when he took office or Bush Sr. when he left it.

Yeah, you're right. I guess I'm "too" used of the presidents being younger. For me, the ideal age for a president is around 50-55.
Don't worry though, I'm not trying to make him look bad, just stating my opinion on the subject

He seems to be doing a good job of that all on his own.

Choosing Sarah Palin as running mate was a big mistake I think. He might aswell choose Claudia Schiffer, same thing.
What "couple" looks strongest to you? Obama-Biden or Mccain-Palin? I think that's pretty clear.

Not really, most people know who Claudia Schiffer is!!

I was pretty disappointed in the Biden selection. How do you run on a platform of "Change" and then pick someone who has been part of the problem for 35 years as a running-mate. I understand the political reasons for picking him, it just seems to deviate from his message so far. Oh well I guess the Status Quo will be intact for 4 more years.
