Hopefully, if he's elected, people learn to trust him over time instead of hate him or fear him as a result of the campaign. I think there was a good chance of him bringing the country closer together before all the negative campaigning of late from the McCain crowd... which was inspired by what? The growing fear that they might lose! Fear should never be the driving force behind any kind of action, of a government or an individual. That's another reason why I admire Obama. As dirty as it's gotten, he's always maintained the higher ground.

I vote Obama, he's great and his Audacity of Hope was excellent, but McCain is one slick mover. |

"McCain knows how to deal with Al-Qaeda, cause Al-Qaeda are coming to kill us"
"We don't vote for baby killers in this family, and Obama is a baby killer" I just get somewhat depressed when I hear things like this on TV as genuine reasons why some people aren't voting for Obama. I'm sure equally stupid things are being said in the other direction though.

I think its because the system is so simple, hardly anyone has to make an effort to express their 'democratic right' (in the approved way) hence they only need simple information to do so. The candidates want their supporters to be informed enough to convince themselves, but still dumb enough to want someone else to fill in the blanks for them. |

Obama certainly sounds like the better candidate. He seems switched on, sincere and most importantly, ready to be the President of the US. McCain doesn't in my opinion, despite what he says. Palin, well, the less said about her the better. I hope she doesn't get an ounce of power, because I truly believe she'd be way out of her depth as President. The US would be taken in the wrong direction, and by extention, the rest of the Western world.

I am hoping that Obama wins. A lot of the republicans have twisted some of his key policies to make him look borderline communist at times. He has strong policies on immigration control. Yet it has been said he wants to make America isolated from the international community. When you look at it, it's pretty forward thinking. Make it more easy for honest hardworking people to come and work and live in America as long as they are prepared to pay their taxes and do their bit for America. Whether he gets elected and he can deliver on immigration reform. I think what can only stop Obama is if GOP has a record turnout. Whatever the outcome of todays election, McCain or Obama will have inherited the Economy in it's worst state for a generation, a faltering healthcare service, two unfinished and damaging conflicts in the middle east. Voter turnout is expected to be high. At least McCain, Obama and the American public agree that there needs to be change. What that change is, time will tell. |
