Obama.

The only problem that I have with him is the fact that he's giving much more tax benefits to the low classes, who barely pay taxes anyway. :o
edit: which, of course, isn't the biggest problem, and could be a lot worse

Also, I've decided that anyone who adopts/promotes adoption is communist. I mean, only hardcore commies would want to spread the kids around.
 
Obama, thanks.
Third parties get overlooked, sadly.
Anyways, I can't vote, but at least my state is worth a heck of a lot- fifty-five.
I don't think I like that system.
 
Whichever one will leave me to news that isn't thousands of miles away from my house fastest.
 
Obama, he has a great name.

Sadly that's all I can base my opinion on. I'll get a proper reason for any election I'm eligible for that I intend to vote in.
 
To make this thread more useful, why don't some of you who live in the US tell us who's more popular in your area?
 
Electoral-Vote.com puts my state (West Virginia) as "Strong GOP". There's quite a bit of Obama support in my area, but I live in the capital city. The rest is random backwoods people and the occasional Shoney's or Wal-Mart, so I can definitely see McCain winning my state. :[

Alright, then.
Well, I live in Conservative City and generally Conservative County so I'd say McCain absolutely wins in this county (we do have a few Obama supporters) but in my whole state, Obama wins by a landslide.
Yes, Firefox, believe it or not, Obama is his name. You'll have to add that to your dictionary when he's president.
 
In our school election today 55 people voted (Many didn't know about it), 44 went Obama, 9 went McCain, 1 for McKinney, and a write-in for the principal o_O
And we live in a rich place with a whole bunch of Republicans.
 
Well despite a LOT of McCain/Palin signs, the majority of people in my area are going Obama. This pleases me. :D

Everyone in my area is voting for Obama. Those who didn't vote are rooting for him.

...One girl said she didn't know anything about either one (wtf? o.o;;) but she would vote for McCain because he's older and [theoretically] has more experience. Luckily, she was too lazy to register.
 
Obama is cool. :D

Don't know much about the non-Obama-McCain candidates, but realistically, there is no reason to vote for them, since we know they're not going to be elected. :/ It's just one less vote for whoever you think would be better out of the big two.

I always find it amusing how it seems that just about nobody who does not live in America would ever vote for the Republican candidates. A guy who lives in America and works with my dad positively ogled at this other associate of my dad's who is apparently the only person he has ever met outside the US who liked George W. Bush.

Isn't there something wrong when your country has such a completely skewed view of elections compared to all the rest of the world?

Yeah there is. I don't know why we're like this either... Maybe it's the totally stupid 'PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN FUCK EVERYONE ELSE' idea that's so common among adults...

But hey, Macedonia likes McCain; does that count for anything?

Yes, Butterfree. There is something VERY wrong when that happens.

In other news, Obama projected to take Illinois.
This makes me very happy :D
 
We had a mock election in my school. McCain won.

Then again we're all girl so it isn't really a fair projection.

Plus half the school didn't vote.
