So who are you going for? I am rooting for Obama to win. I'm not old enough to vote.

I would like for Obama and Biden to win. I don't like Obama's health care plan, but I don't think that congress would ever allow it to get through. I don't like Biden because he is pro-RIAA and because every time he smiled during his debate with Palin I died a little bit inside. That's all that I can really see that I don't like about them though. As far as McCain, I think he is too much of a hot head. The fact that he didn't release his medical records to the public also frightens me because I've heard he has had skin cancer numerous times. I also think that he could have some problems after being tortured in Vietnam. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of respect for him for serving in the army, but I've seen one too many Rambo movies to think that someone could walk away from that mentally sound. Palin really scares me. The thing about her thinking she has foreign policy experience because she leaves near Russia is really weird. I really hope she meant that as a joke. I feel like McCain only picked her because she was a woman and thought that he could take a good amount of the Democrats who supported Hillary and were angry that Obama won and get them to vote for Palin. The fact that John McCain won't give his medical records to the public and that Palin is frightening is what makes me rule them out entirely(or would if I was old enough to vote). Palin running the country would be a disaster...but Tina Fey would get loaded off of it. For anyone that watched the Vice President debate on Friday, the thing that really made me mad was when they asked Biden and Palin about comments they both made criticizing the Vice President position and saying that they would never take that position. It really made it obvious to me how quick politicians are to criticize something they think is wrong but are willing to take part in it if it means they get more power.

Palin also took her little town of 5000 people and put it in a large debt...and she kept pronouncing nuclear M-uh-yu-cyu-ler instead of nu-clee-er. >.<
McCain also kept laughing and criticizing Obama unfairly throughout the entire Presidential debate.
I think the country would fall under McCain and Palin.

I'm undecided. Obama is wet behind the ears, yes, but I dislike Palin's drilling policies. That and McCain was also involved in that scandal. So I'm tentaviely supporting Obama, but I think the real test will come when whoever wins the election steps up as president.

I am supporting Obama. McCain is nothing new. He has devoutly followed Bush for the past 8 years. He has had skin cancer and is 70 years old.. all he wants to do is try to cap off his political career with being president before he dies, something that he would likely do in office. His opinion on foreign matters is "kill em all and take their oil." He has no real energy policy and his economic plan would screw over main stream America. He wants to give you $5000 and then say the healthcare problem is solved... because apparently it costs a LOT less than I thought for healthcare. Palin is worthless.. She is just the "chick" to get swing votes from Hillary supporters. Her reputation as governor is extremely pathetic and she was never in office. She essentially failed as a mother, looks fake as HELL, and is way too conservative. If I were able to vote, I would vote against McCain just because of his VP choice. www.electoral-vote.com/^^ Obama is destroying McCain in the electoral college. He just has to keep from messing up too badly in the next few weeks and this election is his.

Palin is also always bragging about how she was in PTA and a Hockey mom. I read somewhere that Palin was only in the PTA for two years and a Hockey mom for one year. Nothing to brag about, and she can never answer a question, either. >.<

Hee hee. I think it is so funny how such unrelated crap make it into political talks. I mean, who really cares about lipstick and whether or not Obama is muslim? Islam isn't an evil religion. The extremists are the problem. Judging Muslims based on the terrorists is like judging Christians based on Nazis. It's just plain stupid. Politics should stick to the candidate's stances, not their personal lives. And yes, I do realize that some people are concerned about the candidates' personal lives because of what it says about their character, but when it comes right down to it, the issues are what are important. Not closet religions. And if I see another person say that Palin is going to shove woman behind in politics, I will personally kick their butt. Because Hillary Clinton would've killed human faith in women, but because she was pro-abortion, the NOW (what a joke; more like the National Association of LIBERAL Women) loved her. And I want to strangle every member of that poisonous organization. And since I am female, none of you should accuse me of being sexist.

But in terms of being qualified to be president, Hillary could walk circles around Palin. (Palin becoming president after the inevitable death of McCain) Really, what experience does Palin have? Running a state with 600,000 people and is half as big as the United States... into the ground? Any foreign experience? Plus, anybody else notice that she debates like it's a miss-America contest? (oh, and Obama was visiting Kenya and they asked him to wear a wrap.. Fox took that and spun it into a huge "He's a muslim!@!" story.... >.>)

I would have hated Hilary Clinton being President, personally, but she won't be, so it's OK!

She never led anything (No, High School class president does not count), she always looked like her smiles were fake, and she listened to her husband far too much. It would've been another term of Bill Clinton for office.
Unfortunately, NONE of the other candidates have led ANYthing. Not even a city. Or even a small town. "Senator" is not enough leadership experience to satisfy me.

Bill Clinton wasn't necessarily a bad president, though. He brought the national debt to the lowest that it's ever been and other great things such as that. Hillary would have been bad, though, I'm not going to lie about that.
