Time for another one I think. So what's everyone think? Especially interested in what people in the US think?
Personally I think McCain will win. I think America is basically a republican country and with little Bush out of the way it's OK to vote republican again. I hope I'm wrong though.

Politics is politics the world over, and just like the UK, I really can't see the difference between what is on offer by either candidate - apart from the obvious and the chance of the first black President....

does anyone know what time obama's speech is tonight? i think it will be a truly special moment and go down in history so want to watch?
I was in Berlin when he was speaking and went to see him and it was incredible, he may not have the depth and experience, but listening him speak he is second to none. I really hope he wins, because at least in the short term it will be a good thing for America in the World, where as if it was Mccain i think it will not only be a huge disappointment to all democrats but the world aswell. America needs Obama for its world relations as much as anything imho.
Sadly though i think Mccain may scrape it, due to the shocking racism that still underlines the american lower and in some cases middle white class.
Opinions ?

I think you're right about McCain RS although the Dems have done a good unification job at their show. Both Hils and Bill put pretty good efforts in there I thought. Good to see the old dog (Bill) can be roused occasionally from his slumbers! ;)
I also think the choice of Biden is fairly astute, perhaps a little more conservative and obviously older than Obama, so a good running mate.
Be interesting to see what the Reps come up with next.

Randomly got talking to an American in the pub last week and he said without any embarrassment or shame that Obama would not win because he is black and he and many others would not vote for a black man. He also said the same of women so the democrats were screwed either way.
If by some chance Obama does win he assured me he would be shot. He was from a largely republican state of Colorado so opionions will obviously differ eslsewhere. Interesting actually that the democrats hold their convention in Denver, which I assume is quite a republican area.

Its very simple, McCain will have a better chance now so that means she could be the Democratic candidate in four years instead of eight. But she would never get that nomination if she didn't "support" Obama now.

Not good news. Exactly what McCain needed - a bit of charisma, youth and a more hardlined conservative...oh and she's a she which will win back fickle Hilldog fans. Was hoping he'd opt for the Mormon nut Romney, who I think would have been exposed very quickly if the Dems were clever enough.
I like Biden but I fear he's not going to be strong enough to stand up and fight the Rep smear and scare machine similarly to how Kerry wimped out. We'll see.

I have also been assured by several American work colleagues that if Obama wins then he will not be around for long before being assasinated, though they are primarily from the south, which might explain their thinking. In fact a few of them have him marked down as a Muslim sympathising communist who say they will leave the country if he is elected. The more enlightened work mates, see the election being very close to call, also their election is a very complicated process, and though either candidate may win the popular vote majority that does not necessarily mean they will be elected president. I think this election though has for once brought foreign policy of the States to the forefront of political debate as well as domestic issues which is a good thing, though again Obama was heavily criticised in America for his meetings in Europe with various heads of state, though personally I think it was a good move to build relationships ahead of time if he is elected.

It's definitely a problem and to be honest assassinating Obama would be the worst thing the weirdo yanks could do (that's not all americans, just the strange ones) ...but then I suppose anyone who contemplates assasination probably doesn't think rationally. It's hard to believe that anyone would mark a major player in either party down as a communist though - do they actually know what a communist is?

Well they tend to lump anyone who has slightly 'social welfare policies' in the 'communist' bracket
Obama will win all the same states Kerry won, plus Virginia, New Mexico and Colorado, which makes it just about impossible for McCain to win, even if he does sneak through with Ohio.

The choice of Palin is a strange choice (at least from the outside anyway). The only thing she has going for her is inexperience and being a woman. I doubt that'll sway many hilldog supporters and it makes the republicans look like they're aping the democrats - witness McCain's 'change is coming' speech the other day. I suppose she appeases a few right wingers in the party but so could a lot of other candidates for the VP position and anyway isn't the idea that successful parties move to the centre rather than pleasing the more extreme elements in their own party?
To be honest I've still got a hunch that McCain will win.

A bit concerning if the Republicans manage to cheat and buy the election as they did in 2000 - McCain probably has a 50/50 chance of making a term with his health so Palin, the inexperienced Redneck, would be President. Still, we're talking about an electorate that voted (genuinely this time) in 2004 for Bush Jnr on the basis he was the sort of bloke you'd go for a beer with.

Only 8 weeks to go. If you think you have heard too much over there, imagine what it has been like here and will be for the next 2 months. This is my first chance to vote for president.
Not inspiring choices. McCain too old, too much like Bush in approach to world, picked a very right wing running mate (or so she has been portrayed so far). Obama - inexperienced but will attempt to rebuild US relationship with rest of the world.
It will be close but I think Obama will win. McCain needs to change the perception of Palin if he is to win the "soccer mom" vote. Most of them are socially liberal, fiscally conservative - not NRA loving, anti-abortion, etc.

Uhhbama?...That's just a response to the lie that he's a great orator.....Get him away from the teleprompter and he's pretty much incoherent....sounds more like a blithering idiot than the 'great orator' he's held up to be.
As for disliking him so much?....I have to admit i started off a little biased against him, he immediately reminded me of Tony Blair and that was bad enough....But then i looked at him a little closer and what i found was basically ****ing scary.
I cant recommend to peeps who are fawning over the 'One' to take a good hard look at what's behind the charade...This guy didn't get where he is on his own, not by a long way...There's some very dodgy people who had a hand in putting 'the turtle on the post'.
Being leader of a country especially a country with the power of the US is not just about policy its also about judgment....now take a look at Uhhbama's judgment in just some of the friends, influences and aquatintence's he chooses and has chose to keep.....All very well documented...Ya'll can google them to find out more
Bill Ayers...... friend of Uggbama http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEeHl0h3NBo

Cynthia K. Miller....part of Uhhbama's team
Dr. Khalid al-Mansour....who 'chose' and sponsored Uggbama in his early days
This is just the tip of the iceberg with him....there's huge chunks of his past that have either gone missing or are conflicting....hell we dont even know his leagal real name for sure....Barry? Barack? Obama? Soereto? Husain? Mohamed?...could be any combination of those....You decide
And i haven't even started on his socialist policies.......the same policies that screwed Britain over in the 70's and again more recently
Hating Bush is not a reason to vote Uggboma
And yeah.....Sarah, although i dont agree with all her policies has added some balance to some of McCains left wing leanings.....making the overall package the right one

With a political system so dependent on large scale donations to either party, is it at all surprising that people who back the candidates may have some reason to have a say in policy decisions. You can't seriously tell me that Bush/McCain do not have equally 'dodgy' people backing him. And this is not getting at Bush/McCain personally, more the party machine and the American political system, though even that is a travesty of democracy in the first place.

The irony of that statement is hilarious coming on the day MSNBC had to remove their top 2 anchor men due to their extreme Uhhbama/left wing bias.
You couldnt make it up lol
And therein lies the difference. As there was a danger of bias creeping into the reporting (or presentation) of the news, MSNBC pulled the two anchors. Has fox ever done the same? Like **** they have. The same anchors who would east **** directly from McCains Anus if he told them it was chocolate are still there, peddling their right wing inferences, while the channel sadly trots out it's ridiculous 'fair and balanced' line.

yes and it is bad...but closer to home (yes on a lesser scale) the BBC have been very disproportionate on very sensitive issue on many times in the past..which, condsidering the way it is funded is not acceptable really...

Come now. I will admit there is left wing bias from a number of other news channels, but none come even close to matching Fox for out and out vehement bias and general tabloid trash. It is comical.
If Fox News did the same as MSNBC have done, they'd have dead airtime (and we can discount Alan Colmes, Sean Hannity's stooge)
And before you label me as a CNN worshipping liberal. I'm not totally convinced by the Obama ticket but atleast I'm remaining objective - something totally absent from your 'maintain the party lines' soundbites.

BBC maybe a bit liberal but compared to Fox they are as pure as the driven snow.

It's bloody awful.
Here's a prediction - on the day of the vote Fox news will be broadcasting severe weather warnings in close running states to deter voters from going out..

I collected some American clients today and they told me that McCain was now 6 points ahead.The general worry is that McCain is too old and Obama too inexperienced and naive in world politics.

A tad harsh although I know a few degenerates over here! There are some traces of civilisation.

Good to see Obama back in the lead. I guess the Palin media frenzy is worn off and people are now starting to see she's not all that bright. And of course the financial crisis is helping Obama quite a bit.
