Obama reminds me of Blair in '97...all talk about change and no substance.
McCain reminds me of Godfrey in Dad's Army.
I cannot see Obama winning in states like Alabama !!!
How can you say that? He has not even been elected yet so in his defence it is pretty hard to put his words into action.

Well its the U.S elections today is it not.
Im going for Obama for this, partly due to the fact there has not been a black president, and 50 years ago would have been victimised severely, ie having to give up seats on buses, racist abuse etc etc.
However unfortunately, i think that if elected, he could well be assasinated within six months.
Oh his Gran died yesterday too.
That was very wrong what you just said there. To me, it goes on the best candidate for the job, Obama is for me the correct choice. He's an ambitious man, and if you've been watching some debates with him between Mcain then you'll see he does talk alot of sense and i think he can really make a difference. He also has some really good financial experience and at the moment that's just what you need at this point in time with recession looming. Obama for me!!

i'm going to try pulling an all nighter to watch/listen to this tonight.
it's too close to call to be honest and a lot depends on whether those supporting obama in the polls actually vote for him when it comes down to it - i think for a lot of americans they'll have a real problem voting for a black man.
if mccain is elected i can see things getting worse, especially with devilbitch at his side. furthermore, if he dies then we're stuck with palin...at least with obama i can foresee some change.

Hopefully Obama will win. The world could do with a more moderate US president.
Depends if you think being a communist (as some Americans seem to think he is) is moderate  Personally I don't rate either of them, not sure what Obama stands for, other than 'change' whatever that means and McCain is an incompetent fool.

Obama will win because he didn't rely on public funding, unlike McCain.

So fuck all to do with his policies then, just purely based on the colour of his skin?
I agree with his policies better than what that twat McCain is coming out with. As for the second part I wouldnt expect anything less from you.

Obama for me!!
What? the part about being assasinated? Unfortunately i dont think he would last long if elected. Dont get me wrong, I want him to win, hopefully itll be a refreshing change. As for Sarah Palin, i would quite happily stick my cock in her mouth and make her gag until she loses consciousness.

I'll watch it until the official confirmation - I'll be flicking though trying to take in as many channels as I can.
Barack should win but I remain sure that McCain will sneek it. I'm not stupid enough to think that Obama will introduce radical changes that will instantly change the world - but he will go alot further than McCain ever would. McCain IS essentially 4 more years of Dubya and heaven forbid he pops his clogs and they'll have Palin in charge. Jeebus wept.
This election has been enthralling - I don't watch X-Factor, Big Brother or Formula 1 etc I watch the U.S. election coverage and it's never disappointed me. Each to their own and so on.
