Did you vote?

Hope Obama wins by a fair wack, a final judgement not only on the abysmal leadership of the Bush Administration and their sell-out of the GOP to the fringes of Political Christianity, but on a sickeningly negative campaign from someone I previously had a lot of respect for. Seems that both parties were unified this time around by at least one thing, they were both completely obsessed with Barack Obama.

Is it true that voter get free icecream, ben&jerry's, donuts and sextoys? And Starbucks?

Ummm I don't know about that but they get free Starbucks coffee if you tell them you voted..assuming that you are old enough!

You can't do that since it's illegal in some states. Rather, they changed the policy so anyone can get a tall coffee by simply asking for one. This is pretty cool as you can just drive around town hitting different Starbucks for coffee if that's your thing.

Yes, this also applies to Krispy Kreme donuts and Ben & Jerry's.

I didn't get to vote in the '08 election cause I'm not old enough. :/
Oh well.

I can't vote, but both of my parents and my older sister can and did. All 3 voted for McCain. But I think Obama will win, because "he's black, homes" and "CHANGE!!!!1one"

According to Google News, McCain is winning the Electoral vote.

Way to early for this to matter. 8-3 when you need 270 to win.

A poll on whether or not we voted...the irony.

Nah, didn't vote because I didn't register. Last election I voted in was Clinton's first term. I do, however, kind of wish I'd registered, but I do hate getting involved. Voting for a politician is like voting for a professional wrestler to run the country. Of course, we've had one run a state before.

I do kind of hope Obama wins. Not sure our country can withstand another Republican presidency. Of course, McCain and W. certainly don't seem cut from the same cloth -- hell, few people seem cut from the same cloth as W. But still...McCain's a man of corporations for the corporations. Not sure who the hell Joe the Plumber is, but he ain't Mario, of that I'm fairly certain.

Because the only states which have been called are Kentucky (which has 8 electoral votes, more cows than people and would vote for an inanimate carbon rod if it was on the republican ticket) and Vermont, which is strongly Democrat but only has 3 electoral college votes.

The '08 election certainly isn't as clearcut as previous elections were. People need to just sit down and seriously think about who's going to make a difference in our economically fucked nation. There's too much shit going around with both candidates and voters aren't even properly informed about the decision they're making. Hell, some people didn't even know Palin was running as VP to McCain. That's a problem, wouldn't you say?

I think it's going to be a lot more clear cut than 2000 at least.

So, Obama's gonna win huh?

 

[Drift Monkey]

Whoever you vote for, the American people, lose.

If he doesn't, I'm not going to rely on GBAtemp for my election predicitions any more.

It's this kind of thinking that got us Bush, twice.

If you think not, for the love of God put a bet on, you can get between 10/1 and 20/1 on a McCain victory.

Truly. I'll take lose over lose big any day.

 

[DeMoN]

I would have voted but the lines were too long (no joke), and I had too much work to do.
Whatever, Obama will win California with or without my vote.

Not like it matters to you. You're in the UK. All you Brits are just gonna sit back and laugh as America crashes and burns.

Don't feel too bad. We'll take them down with us.

O RLY?

This kind of thinking is the only way to move forward with a modern multi-party system. Everyone's views and values can not possibly be aligned with a mere 2 parties...especially when the 2 parties essentially share the same mentality.

Don't even get me started on how corporations and banking institutions are the ones that truly run America...
