Funny, a lot of Americans don't like Bush anymore (most of us teenage Canadians seemed to know from almost the beginning. Hmm...), but it looks like half are willing to elect another Republican...

Lots of Republicans I talk to at school refuse to believe Pres. Bush was a Republican. :D

And Sentynel, if he does reitroduce the Bush Presidency, then make some room--I'm moving to Europe.

When McCain does that, Obama will lead the revolution. With Canada in tract. Hopefully. :P

Nah. I think we'll be fine. We've pulled ourselves out of tough situations before, and we have the capacity to fix things if they go wrong.

I very much doubt it. Face it, Stephan Dion will need a miracle to win, most people don't trust him. The Green Party don't have a chance in hell, nor do the NDP really (though I have a feeling they don't get a lot of votes because that's what so many believe).

Erm.

Why are we talking about who's gonna win the Canadian election? What I said has nothing to do with who wins the election...

Harper has majority anyway. =]

"Obama/Biden; Osama Bin Laden. Coincidence?"

Lol, you know Nader has no chance when, as an Arab American rather than just a black guy, he gets absolutely no accusations his way.

When you said that I thought you were making a reference to the Canadian election.

Oh.

Vice Presidential Debate is on!

please... last nights debate was very good on her part... she may have lost it... but both of the had a strong debate.

Very few americans care about the candidates views, most of them vote out of bias. Women vote for women, blacks vote for blacks, men vote for men, whites vot for whites. Generally speaking... there are SOME exceptions

Comments on the debate from fivethirtyeight.com. I think you're overly cynical about the numbers of people who vote based on policies, but I agree it's nowhere near as high as it should be. And I'd hope the vehemence of her anti-woman's rights views should have sunk in to most women.

I find the concept of a woman who is anti-women's-rights very entertaining

Sadly there are some...

Of course half of those who do vote on misinformation, and don't even bother to look into things, just believe whatever they're told by a select few.

Sadly true. I'm looking at you, Sarah "I was against the bridge to nowhere, honest!" Palin.
From the Vice Presidential Debate Drinking Game:
"Every time Sarah Palin claims she was against the bridge to nowhere, demand a drink off your hosts, claim you never wanted it when they give you one, and then drink it anyway when nobody's looking."

Very true. And those that do vote out of the candidates' views are the ones who tend to be the deciding vote.

It has come to my attention that all of you saying that American votes are biased don't actually happen to be here.

Adele's American.

By what I was saying I meant that it's like that in a lot of places, which really sucks.

I knew that.
