2008 Presidential Election Thread

This whole situation is too eerily familiar of Kennedy. Obama will have at least one attempt made on his life. I can sense it.

Wake me up when this is over

Getting close finally.

I have school Tuesday night so I can't watch the results. By the time I'm home I'm sure the winner will be declared.

Maybe



Maybe Not

I predict a close race

Voting Problems





Be Funny if the Supreme Court decided this election!

In McCain's favor



Be cool to see the National Guard arrest rioters and looters in the inner cities

How would the Supreme Court decide it? If neither candidate gets at least 270 electoral votes (the only plausible scenario is they each get 269....nobody else should get any) there is an electoral college tie and the senate will vote. In the incredibly unlikely even the senate (I think the new senate but I'm not 100% on that) ties the President of the Senate would cast the deciding vote....the President of the Senate is of course the Vice President. As the Senate is (and will remain) controlled by the Democrats, Obama would win a tie.

Meant State Courts


Like Florida in the 2000 Election




There could be lots of problems in states like Ohio

Oh yeah. That could very well happen.

I'd rather just have the election be a blowout so I they can stop talking about it quickly. 2004 wasn't terribly close yet it still wasn't quite decided even the next day.

Voting Fraud could be a huge problem

I think it gonna be a close election



The Polls are gonna be wrong

UPDATE:

www.270towin.com has moved Colorado from undecided to Obama.
LATEST POLLS:
10/30: 51-45%
10/29: 53-45%
10/29: 50-41%
10/26: 50-46%

I'm not really sure. I am fairly certain that if it is a blowout McCain won't win. I can't imagine any scenario where he gets more than 279 votes (that would require him winning Colorado and New Mexico both of which are already being called )whereas if Obama won every "undecided" state he'd have 381 electoral votes.

------------------

Also alarming for McCain supporters....while he should win Arizona (it is his home state and has gone Republican 13 of the last 14 elections) the latest 3 polls show him leading in Arizona by an average of just 5.33%.

In Illinois, Obama leads the last 3 polls by an average of 22.33%

Now I've seen everything...political Cabbage Patch Kids?!?!?

Who the hell would want that? Aren't Cabbage Patch Kids for kids? When I was 5 I didn't want Bill Clinton, Al Gore, George H.W. Bush, and Dan Quayle action figures.

I sure the hell wouldn't

Might become collectors items someday

Obama's doll should be taller


He is like 6 foot 6 or something
