Obama's prolly gonna win

its actually an election between the two VPs, you do know that right?
i heard that theres a higher chance of obama getting assassinated than mccain dying in office
biden vs. palin. lol not that hard of a choice.
if only mccain chose a better VP.
Obama wants to destroy the American Dream and replace it with middle class paying low class(because you know the rich people already know how to get around it they won't have to pay jack)

I've only seem a limited view of this election as it doesn't pertain directly to me as I am Canadian...but I have a deep and dark feeling something nasty will be repeated again just like the previous elections and John McCain will become president even though he will hold the minority vote.

Any Joe the Plumber can hire someone to hack electronic polling stations for example...or Fox News will report McCain is the winner even before the ballots are counted...or Obama will be sniped. I seriously hope none of these happen though.

Regardless of personal opinion, Obama. I mean that guy is a steam roller! He's unstoppable. And really, no matter who I actually support or vote for, Obama will win.

Offtopic:

That being said, I DID vote for Obama. But he's going to win no matter what I believe.

Who is going to win? Probably Obama. Who do I want to win? John McCain. Because...
I'm Pro-life.
I don't want higher taxes.
I'm not for gay marriages.
I don't want coal miners to go bankrupt.
While I do want change, socialism isn't what I had in mind.

Btw, Obama is only about 6.75% black.
His plan is to make the poor rich, and the rich poor. McCain's plan is to make the poor AND rich both richer than Obama's plan. +1 to not wanting to tax small businesses.

Personally, I'm opposed to Barack Obama for... multiple reasons but a lot of people are voting for "Change." Also, Palin was a turn off for just about everyone.

Ignorance may be a huge part of it though because I've actually went and talked to some Obama supporters and asked them why they were voting for him. Some thing that kept coming up was that he "stood for change" but when I asked for more details, they shut up...

Obama will Win. I dont want him too, I'd prefer McCain
Biden is stupid, and while Palin may be nice to look at, I dont see her being a great VP

But this election is largely going to be influenced by race.

I watched a special on the news, where they went to predominately black areas of states, and asked,

"Your voting for Obama right?

"Most responded "Yes"

Then they began to list McCain's policy's ect.
and asked if those policy's are the reason they are voting for Obama, and they all said Yes. When they actually weren't any of Obama's policy's.

Honestly whoever wins can't fix our economy anytime soon, and can make as many promises as they want, Its not going to happen. I prefer McCain's policy's but also he is much more patriotic then Obama, and you all know it.

I'd rather a war veteran then someone who cant appreciate the national anthem.

Just my 2 cents.

The same can be said of McCain supporters. Most can't give any reason to why his economic policies will work. How do you give tax cuts, but still continue increased spending? At this point, even prominent fiscal conservatives support Obama.

The most I've heard from McCain supporters on why they oppose Obama is that he's a "Muslim" or "different," which we all know what is code for. In contrast, exactly what you said "McCain is pro-real America."

But then again, a handful of my black friends can't give an excuse other than "he's black" when asked why they're voting for Obama while they themselves are accusing people who aren't voting for him as racists.
