I personally don;t want to see another Republican in office right now. I think some fresh views and opinions are needed. Putting another Republican in office won't change anything at all.

Well Thunder, when you consider that our countries economy is probably the weakest in the world, that we've been at war for almost 7 years (though I do think we need to stay until the job is done), and that the national debt is somewhere in the trillions, it seems that there's much that needs fixing.

Barack Obama is from Hawaii, but his father originated from Kenya.

I also don't want to see a republican in the house.  I am also going for Barack Obama. 

Latest primary report as Hillary leading Obama by less than 4,000 votes, with only 54% of precincts (sp) reporting, so it's still anyones primary.

McCain won New Hampshire (no surprise there)

I disagree on that. People voted for him solely because of his looks (which, IMO, aren't all that great anyway). He did nothing during his presidency that I would deem great. Except maybe his affair with Monica Lewinsky.

Thunder, you started this thread. You asked me for permission before doing so. And you forgot it was here?  :rofl2: :rofl2:

I don't even remember him being president, so I can't say anything.  But, I think the United States has had enough with Clinton's and Bush's :yes: (especially bush's)

Title: Re: 2008 Political stuff/Elections

I know, I just don't seem to remember it.  What really sparked my political interest was the 2000 presidential race, and even though I followed the race, I don't remember him at all...   :wacko:

Ah well.
Title: Re: 2008 Political stuff/Elections
Post by: lfmusiclover on February 07, 2008, 04:45:19 PM
Well the latest numbers show that Obama has a very slight edge over Clinton on the Democrat side, and that John Mccain is WAY out in front on the Republican side.

I heard earlier today that Mitt Romney was suspending his bid for president.
Title: Re: 2008 Political stuff/Elections
Post by: wxmediafan on February 07, 2008, 09:30:47 PM
Yup, Romney dropped out, and hasn't backed anyone.

I suspect that McCain will take the nomination, and Huckabee will be McCain's VP.

The Democratic side of things sure are going to be interesting :yes:

I'm not even registered. Honestly, I didn't register because I'd heard that it makes you a prime candidate for jury duty (which I haven't the time or desire to do). But I got called to jury duty last year WITHOUT being registered, so that theory is a bunch of BS in my book. Maybe I will register at some point, who knows.  :sunglasses:

Because the law dictates that jury duty is a civic duty for every person.

Darn, if only elections were held in 2009 :P

I would love to vote in this election, because possibly, it could be a historic one.  Scratch that, it already has been historic.

I just can't believe it's already been about 4 years since the last election :wacko:

Oh well.

I've pretty much decided that Barack or HIllary would do a fine job.  They basically stand on the same side with most issues (there are a few they disagree on).

I believe voluntary jury duty would be much more effective then cumpulsory, a) because the courts would actually and homogeneously have jurors who want to be there, and b) Voter turnout would shoot up.

My other family members and basically everyone in my neighborhood are also voting for Clinton. I dont like it that people are voting for her just because she's a woman. They need to have better reasons then that

And what's up with Hillary lieing... I mean..come on!

Also, I am not too happy with ABC.  They held a HORRIBLE debate last (Tuesday?) week.

Yes, I'm sick of hearing of the he said she said BS between them.

However, McCain is gaining few if any votes. Very few people want a third W term, which is what they'd effectively get by voting for McCain. I can all but assure you that the 2008 election will be won by a Dem. Not that I care, cause I don't vote either way!  :lol: :P

Obama might win if he wins big by a huge margin in Indiana and North Carolina since Clinton is catching up.

Besides, It's obvious who'll be nominated in the Republican, Mccain, since he got alot of winner-take-alls in delegates in Super Tuesday.

Yes, the point about Grant is correct.  His administration contained corruption, and he was only elected because he was a Civil War hero.

Hillary will be the next president of the united states

There is virtually no possible way she can do that.

The other night on Nightly News (that'd be last thursday I guess), Tim Russert did a very nice report on how it is not entirely impossible, but rather unlikely she'll get the nomination.  He showed a white board with all of the Super Deligates possible, and all the delegates from each state left for primaries, and for Hillary to win, she'd need at least 75% 70% after tonights win in WV. (give or take..not exactly sure the percent) of the vote in EACH state.

Her chances would be better if Florida and Michigan were counted, but, that is likely not going to happen.  But, Russert also brought up the fact, that if anything, the Committee or w/e would go fifty fifty between Florida and Michigan, giving half the delegates to Clinton, and half to Obama.  Even then, I believe she still wouldn't have enough delegates.

I'll see if I can pull that video up  :twothumbs:

Not the video I wanted to share, but here is one from tonight (I am assuming)  Tim Russert says she'd have to win 70% of the delegates left http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#24598831

On the local news, they showed an ABC News Poll, and 40% of the people surveyed, said they wanted Hillary to be Obama's running mate.  Interesting.

My Gov't teacher keeps saying "It'd be a hard ticket to beat" if they both teamed up.

Time to bring an old thread alive, as the elections are just over 2 months away.

Wanted to get some input on the VP candidates.

Do you think Joe Biden was a good choice for Obama, and that Sara Palin was a good choice for McCain?

Biden I think was an okay choice.  I would have gone with Hillary over Biden, as Hillary and Obama have (FOR THE MOST PART) the same stance on issues.  But, I guess Biden is good.  He's got the experience, and maybe that's what Obama needed, someone with more experience.

Now, Sara Palin.  Hadn't even heard of her until the day.  WTF was McCain thinking, asking a women, younger than Obama, less experience than Obama, to be on the Ticket.  OH YEAH... he wants to try to grab some of the Hillary supporters who want nothing to do wiht Obama.  I don't think this woman was a good choice...at all :no:  I'm about to watch some of the Republican convention this week, and maybe my mind will change about Palin..

Your thoughts?

Its a matter of opinion Vic. What's yours?

Personally, I think its a very odd choice. Not at all what I would have expected. On the other hand, I think Joe Biden is a very good choice for Obama, what with his expertise in foreign policy.
Title: Re: 2008 Political stuff/Elections
Post by: wxmediafan on August 30, 2008, 12:18:50 PM
I think in order for Palin to work for McCain, he is going to have to introduce us to her, as many people are probably not familiar with her.  As I said, I'm definitely going to catch her speech next week at the Republican National Convention, see what he has to say about Obama and McCain.

People care because of the hypocrisy factor.  If conservatives didn't try to shove family values, abstinance only, no sex before marriage bull crap down our throats, it wouldn't be such a big deal.  But since Palin can't even keep her own family under control, then people are ripping her a new one.

There're a lot of things I've heard about Palin.  She's sexist, racist, she left the town she used to be mayor of in economic ruin... there were only FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE TOWN!!!!!!  Including her family!  HOW do you put a town of five thousand in economic ruin?!   :doh:

... Yeah.  I don't like her.

ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexico (CNN) -- With 10 days until Election Day, long-brewing tensions between GOP vice presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin and key aides to Sen. John McCain have become so intense, they are spilling out in public, sources say.

Several McCain advisers have suggested to CNN that they have become increasingly frustrated with what one aide described as Palin "going rogue."

McCain sources say Palin has gone off-message several times, and they privately wonder whether the incidents were deliberate. They cited an instance in which she labeled robocalls -- recorded messages often used to attack a candidate's opponent -- "irritating" even as the campaign defended their use. Also, they pointed to her telling reporters she disagreed with the campaign's decision to pull out of Michigan.
