bbbb Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't know if this is the best place on the forum to be asking this but do you have any thoughts or ideas about the big election going on in America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TetsuoShima Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hmm, I'm no resident of the US, but I did do some 'election tests', the first time they send me to Obama with 85% or so similar opinions. The second time (that was about 3 months later) they send me to Clinton. I'd clearly be a democrat if I lived in the US. As for either one of their chances, imo it's pretty clear that neither will be president and the republicans will probably win again. They've already decided (not oficially, but still..) who their candidate will be while the democrats are still in disarray and are even 'sort-of' killing of each others overall chances with their 'somewhat open hostility' towards each other. But even aside from that, one democrat candidate is African-American and the other is female, from what I've experience from overall American culture so far, if they'd have to compete against the current republican candidate, they're pretty sure to lose. I don't think America is that enlightened yet when it comes to their presidents. Am I biased? Maybe... Prove me wrong I'd say, and we'll see in ... December is it? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December is it? :) November, and I'd have to disagree for the most part. Democrats aren't in disarray, they simply have two candidates that voters are very passionate about. Democrats are extremely motivated in getting the vote out this year, whereas the Republicans aren't. Their candidate, McCain, is still having a hard go at getting the support of their conservative base. I'm sure that when the time comes they'll reluctantly line up behind him, but unless Clinton is the Dem nominee enough of them will probably stay at home to give Obama the win.

USWhoFan Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I'm not very happy with any of the candidates offered to us at this time, or for that matter in my entire voting lifetime, but I sure don't think this country needs another round of Clinton-nomics.

I'll take Clinton-nomics over Bush-nomics any day. Still, there's no way I'm voting for Hillary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-NUKE Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I'll have to agree I'm sick of Bush and will not miss him. I guess I like McCain but it's hard to know who or what to like, I really believe you can't trust any candidates promises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TetsuoShima Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Well, the first black president or a war veteran president... My guess still is that the republicans will win. ^^ (as you can see, my view on general human integrity is pretty low, especially where politics are concerned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnot Borg Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I tend to vote more along the lines of the Libertarian party. BUT, I'm also an Independent. I may vote for another party if they seem likely to actually do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
