Obama vs. McCain - 06-04-2008, 04:30 AM

So it is decided tonight that the American presidential race in November will be Barrack Obama (D) vs. John McCain (R).

If you were or are an American of voting age, and could vote in this election, how would you vote?

I understand this election, especially, has been news around the world for a variety of reasons. I don't intend for this to become a debate, but I am curious to hear opinions from around the world about this, especially unique and historical election in the US.

I asked my american friend this same question, she said doesnt matter "they all lie the same as one another"

My friend is an attorney of some sort so i trust her opinion.

in fact it is the same for most politicians !

From what little I ACTUALLY know about him (Much of the coverage we get on the primaries are merely reports on results and the scandals and little is shown on actual policy). Obama would be a better choice in my opinion

He seems to share the same overall values as I, especially when it comes to health care. I was REALLY impressed by his race speech when his maniac pastor said those crazy things. His approach to foreign policy? I'm a bit shaky on specifics but I've read that he is more likely to seek a more multi-lateral approach to the various world issues. Not sure about his promise to lose Iraq though... there are good arguments on both sides concerning the moral responsibility of staying/leaving Iraq.

That's the point of this poll...just to see the opinions of people who care who may not be able to vote.

George W. Bush was the best thing ever happened for the Comedy Central...

Who can possibly replace him?

Well, everybody thought it was gonna be between Hilary and Giuliani but guess what, we still got John McCain!!

Yes, he is back and although he looks like he's is about to die, according to credible sources like gallup tell us that it's gonna be a tight race between Obama and McCain if Obama does not accept Hilary as a Vice President.

Personally, I have to pray that gook hater doesn't win because he is gonna come and get us!!

I can't vote but I asked some of my friends who are of voting age and they all replied obama because it seems he knows what he is doing.
Plus they are democratic so that was a plus.
