GameTavern Votes: Presidential Election 2008

KG thought it would be a dandy idea for us to have a mock election before the real presidential election.

Canadians are free to vote. Also feel free to state who you voted for if you feel so inclined.

I'm voting Obama/Biden in Texas. As if it mattered, since Texas votes so heavily Republican. Though I do wonder how close it will be in Texas this election.

I changed my mind about a month (maybe two) ago. I'm voting Obama.

Interesting, I always pegged you Bond as nearly as right winged and hateful towards Obama as the Professor.

McCain/Palin... nothing better than a team of Mavericks to change this country.

I never thought Bond was hateful towards Obama.

As for myself, Obama/Biden.

A couple thoughts....obviously this forum isn't representative of the real United States demographic; we have a predominantly strong Canadian force

as well as a few other scattered members. We also are mostly comprised of young adults. And, I would like to think most of us here regard ourselves as being fairly liberal thinkers (maybe with conservative values, I dunno).

Anyway, I cast a vote for Obama. I like where McCain stands on some issues, but I think we could use 4 years of reform from the current trend. I'm not keen on Obama and energy or Obama on health care, but I'm confident that he won't have enough time to screw up the economy or health care in 4 years.

Obaaaamaaaa!

I've been staying out of American political debates lately but man am I thankful for this Obama fellow.

The last eight years have been fucking terrible and people are finally starting to see what I've been complaining about all along. Bush is the worst president in your nation's history. He has done SO much damage that it's maddening to think such a man managed 8 years not only without getting impeached, but managing to get re-elected.

I think when Obama takes this one, the Republican party will have a much needed chance to take a time out and think about what happened this decade.

I think it's pretty ovbious I'm an Obama guy. I don't deny that I think McCain has some good ideas, but I like most of Obama's plans better. Specifically for health care and education.

My bigger concern is regarding Sarah Palin and her ability to lead the country. When you vote for a VP, you have to ask yourself if you'd be willing to vote for them as President. And I never could.

I'm with you man. All-in-all I'd like a smart Republican party running my economy, but I don't feel like McCain is that guy. Maybe in another 4 to 8 years the repubs will take their head out of their ass and smell what's really going on in America.
