revolution saint Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 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.

maxi_sopez Posted 28 August, 2008 Share Posted 28 August, 2008 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. Bring on Saint George, I say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofarnorth Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillyanne Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 I don't quite understand the months of Hilary slagging Obama off only to sickenly say how he should be the next president in the blink of an eye, all very very odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVSaint Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 (edited) Sarah Palin as running mate for McCain. Interesting counterbalance. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7588435.stm 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.

Saint Martini Posted 29 August, 2008 Share Posted 29 August, 2008 Hmmm, interesting choice by McCain indeed. That might drag a lot of feminist Hilary supporters to the McCain camp if they weren't already there. The question is though, who will be first lady if McCain wins?

doublesaint Posted 30 August, 2008 Share Posted 30 August, 2008 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.

Well it's quite simple - don't pay attention to it or reply to threads on forums. No one asked you to contribute absolutely nothing to the debate.

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?

Rory Posted 31 August, 2008 Share Posted 31 August, 2008 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.
