The American Presidential Election

[bjw]

Theres been nothing mentioned about this. So I thought I'd start a thread.
Our time Wednesday, the 'New Leader of the Free World' is elected.

History could well be made with Obama the likley favourite to win and become the first Black American President.

I dunno, do you think the yanks might just get into the polling booth and think about his colour?

You have more faith in them than I do. These are the f**k knuckles who voted GW in TWICE!

Anyway, there economy is so f**ked it doesnt matter who wins, it will take a generation to fix and by then, they will be 2nd rate.

_Please_ be Obama.  The world will suffer if McCain, and that absolute joke of a 'politician' Sarah Palin are let anywhere near the White House.

He has his flaws, but his rhetoric is right - Obama's Change is exactly what is needed in America and the World right now.

as heard on the chasers "race race"

"This is Americas last chance to prove that they aren't as stupid as everybody thinks they are"

His grandmar dies this morning. bit sad realy.

 

[graaant]

She dies?

 

[Kareem]

it would be good to see Obama win- a step in right direction and it would be interesting to see if people get over racial prejudice!

 

[FFC Mariner]

Kareem, the answer you seek is NO.

The US is one of the most racially divided countries on earth - read yesterdays comments by the Grand poo bah of the KKK in yesterdays UK press if you dont believe it.

(He said that the US belonged to white people and other colours were to be treated as "invaders")

Scary stuff

Wonder what soughta turnout this election will get??

 

[serious14]

I'm guessing the usual 40 - 45%.  Hopefully it's more this time, this has been the most interesting one in years.

Is that a percentage of population or of registered voters?

I'm surprised that many actually give a damn. hang on obviously they don't cause they elected Bush twice.
