American Politics? I vote for neither because I am aussie. I voted for Kevin Rudd for PM though.

Australian. Kevin Rudd is the current Prime Minister of Australia.

Why?

I voted for Rudd because he seemed like the better candidate who would reform the country to assists the working class and the poor whereas John Howard (previous PM) seemed to be stuffing things up and generally making a mess of things.

What is his plan? It seems America needs to do less outsourcing and spend more on local production as opposed to overseas.

I am not too good at politics though, so my ideas do not hold much merit.

I’m voting for Barack Obama. I have the impression that he might would move religion into politics a little more, but I’m concerned about the economy right now, and I think he will be the best candidate for that.

Goodnight Brandon

Morning. It’s 5:30 where I’m at. So I’m having trouble understanding 4:00. Greenland?

4.30 maybe, but not 4.

Right. And he said he would vote. Greenland can’t vote. Duh! I’m such an idiot.

I haven’t changed the clock. Crap.

Or maybe he hasn’t changed the clock.

Computer clock usually changes itself. Perhaps he is in a state that doesnt use DST.

Perhaps. Yeah, my clock changed. That’s why I said it might be his.

DST is confusing. I am glad my computer knows what it is doing, or else I would be at 7.30 instead of 8.30, I think. I dont even remember which way it changes.

It goes back.

I am gaining time, as I get more light.

I am quite sure I gain an hour (southern hemisphere is opposite)

That’s right. Forgive my American ethnocentrism please.

Its fine. I assume everyone else on the site is american (unless I know otherwise), so it works two ways.

Not American so not voteing, I do vote that the Americans hurry up and get this bloody thing over with though, I am tired of reading it on here, I can’t imagine what the tv and radios are like in America but wow you guys know how to suck the life out of anything.

Thank you.

You’re from the U.K.?

American politics cover the world, they are more or less the centre of the world and rule the west. So Australia and UK get them all over the news, I wonder where else?

This is just my opinion and should not be taken as fact.

Oh?
Maybe I am watching the wrong channels then, I have seen snippets of the big issues like when one of them goes for a speech but thats about it.
WHEN do they vote anyway?
WHEN is it over?

I hope it is soon

Yeah

Vote in Nov 4.

I see pretty much everything about the election, who leads the polls, who went where, Mcain being stood up by Joe the Plumber…

I’m voting on November 4th. The last day of voting. I just hope there isn’t any fraud so it doesn’t have to go to the Supreme Court, in which case the Court will automatically decide to put the Republican candidate, John McCain, into the office.

I’m voting Obama. His policies fit my political preferences the best out of the candidates. Kucinich was actually a better fit for my preferences… but the man *is* a garden-gnome so I can understand why he lost the nomination.

Besides… McCain picked Palin for his VP!!! Palin isn’t qualified to run a McDonalds let alone a nation! It’s downright insulting that he would jeopardize the security of our nation by making Palin the VP nominee. It’s unforgivable. With his health, he may well pass on while in office and then Palin will be President… she has judgements against her for ethics violations, has about as much experience in foreign relations, economics, and national security as Bruce Willis, and has vocalized her intention to translate religious principles into legislation.

Vote is in 3 days… It’ll be over soon :)

We apologize for flooding you with all of this, but it’s really a pivotal moment for us.

Nov 4th, yay, so will that mean people will stop talking about it and get on with life? Or will there be even more after?

The only thing I know is that one guy is Obama and black and the other guy is macain and looks as old as the pope.
One woman called sarah palin but I have NO idea where she fits in or why.

Sarah Palin is only there because the average age of President and Vice President have to be less than 100.

LOL..
So how old is that mcain fella?
He looks OLD, but then his face looks younger than the rest of him so I assume he has had a few things done.

McCain is 71 (apparently) Palin is 44 or so.

He’s not that old is he?

71??
Yeah that is OLD, old for wanting to president of a country, I mean here people retire between the ages of 63-65, you know the pace of life starts to slow down.

71 and run a country, wow, I suppose he is old enough to go into the pope poll too.

Most places have a retirement age of 65, which is why I am not sure that this is his age.

He was born in ‘36

So he’s actually 72.

So he will probably die in office and leave Palin in command, who will order the army to get the moose for her burgers.

Is is true she has never left the country, except to go to Canada and Mexico?

As said on punditkitchen.com Trophy Vice.

Funny stuff.

I don’t know. She CAN see Russia from her house. That qualifies as foreign affairs experience to me. (That was sarcasm. Please, do NOT base your vote off that.)

Bet she doesnt even know what Privet means.

“In 2006, Palin obtained a passport[85] and in 2007 traveled for the first time outside of North America” - Wikipedia

She hadn’t even bothered to get a passport until 2006. She loves America the way Nationalists love the Motherland, with a dangerous and ignorant zeal.
