The entire world can vote!

You can vote for the next President of the United States of America!
Virtually, anyway...

I voted for Obama because I want the next President of Australia, erm... America... To not be some old codger with an itchy trigger finger.

Even if you dont vote, you should check out the statistics hehe

I'd like to know what Obama's policies are. "Change" doesn't really mean anything to me. Also, the war in Iraq? Did Obama even get a vote on that? From my limited knowledge of US politics, I don't think he did and so, to me, he shouldn't be saying if it was up to him they wouldn't be there in the first place.

McCain probable isn't doing too well because of Palin. She's a bit too right-wing conservative for most people.

Yeah, in my opinion, conservative = bad.

And we've had politicians with policies for ages and it hasnt really worked, someone should just go in blind and do what they feel like at the time.

i would expect the majority of non-americans who take an interest in international politics to be liberal, so i'm not surprised about the results, and i don't think they mean much.

i like the way the site works, with the map.

He's actually close in a lot of polls now. Most polls have been using a lot more Democratic voters that Republican and most were not using cell phones to call people. Sampling people evenly has been more difficult the past years. Its a bit like exit polls that will show a Democrat win at 5 PM but be even or behind by 8 PM. The reason things bump up is because more Democrats are home during the day so the polls slant until peeps get out of work. Right now Obama has to deal with a growing issue about of his birth origin.

If Obama doesn't win the election, I think it's safe to say there is no God. Yeah you could argue, what Christian doesn't love a good bit of Palin, but if you ask me if you're in the NRA and pro-guns, you're not exactly pro-LIFE are you.

1. Who bloody cares where Obama was born or what his name means.
2. Who bloody cares if Palin's lip liner is tattooed on.
3. Biden who?
4. McCain = out of touch.



Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.
