I find it interesting that many of the Hillary supporters would deliberately vote McCain just because she lost the candidacy to Obama - is American politics supposed to be about political ideas or is the race won purely on personality and to hell with ideas..? I have never understood voting out of spite..

No, I don’t think everything is racist.

You, possibly, and the video you linked to, certainly, but I don’t imagine that very many people stoop to your sort of level…

I wish you would explain yourself chenier, but then I don’t think you have to, you must think everything is racist. I certainly would never vote for someone solely dependent on the color of their skin.

You guys wouldn’t believe what’s going on here in the states. I don’t know if you’ve heard about ACORN, but that would be a good one to lookup on a search engine. Here’s a youtube.com of Howard Stern, he’s asking voters in Harlem, N.Y. (who are predominantly black) some questions about the election and their hero obama and it would be hilarious if it wasn’t true. Believe it or not, a lot of blacks are voting for obama just because he is black and as far as movieland (Hollywood) there’re known for voting Democrat no matter who’s running. They usually threaten us that they’re moving to Canada if their party doesn’t win, yet they never move, so you see they are like their Democratic party, they are liars and flip floppers.

I have long pondered the wisdom of Sarah Palin as a running mate , if not least shouldn’t the new willing mother of a handicapped child focus on him and not the White House

Anorak,

Thanks for that.

Three days away from the election, I still don’t know what I’ll do when the curtain closes, but I know Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice than either. Although there are many who dislike her, her party’s disrespect for her, after the years she has worked for and supported them, is shameful.

I think you’ve hit the nail on the head: someone thought the safest route was to choose a candidate voters about whom voters knew virtually nothing. Any attempt to question Obama’s past or credentials has been met with immediate claims of racism, and everyone is so paranoid, they stop at that point. I wonder if the world will be so generous?

Well, if Obama wins there will be the mother of all parties in Kenya…

Is anything better than Bush? and does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? the Credit Crunch waited til after Blair’s departure, but how many millstones were put around its neck?

The mess is around for us all to wade through, but shall a new broom make a difference?

Vote whoever you like - it;s amazing how Obama has risen so fast and so high and has yet to be explored - the tabs never never hunted down his old drug dealer…

Having seen them all talk, I’d have gone for Clinton, but then I wanted a capable woman to win…

What’s all this about him knowing that his aunty is an illegal immigrant in the US?

He knows that his aunt is in the States illegally.

Vote McCain.
