If we do that, then why not make bets on how if McCain lives through his four years if he gets elected? God help us.

87% for Obama. Nice.
Yeah a survey done in Canada shows that 82% of Canadians would vote for Obama. I wish we could vote. QUOTE(ojairus @ Nov 3 2008, 10:13 PM) how are you effected gigi? How am I not?! How is the rest of the world not?! The US is a superpower and every move you make affects everything else in this world. Not saying that other countries don't have the same power, but certainly not the the extent or magnitude as the US. It's imperative...absolutely imperative to have the right candidate win this race. f**k, the US President probably has more influence over Canada than f**king Stephen Harper does. |

i wasn't really itching to vote in it or anything. i vote all the time on internet stuff whether or not i feel strongly about it...
 either way, that's just one poll, but we already know from "real" polls that obama is favored like 4 to 1 around the world anyway. |

pretty much, considering republicans are typically rich old white guys. canvassing and such aren't really up their alley i guess :-p haha jk but not really, cause it's true. we see so much obama support cause they're typically the younger generation (like ecstatic 18 year olds who need to proclaim to the world that they're allowed to vote) edit: hasty generalizations, i know. but just my two cents |

Actually, internet polls generally have a greater Republican response. Not ones here, but as a rule... |

well we know obama's support isn't just the younger generation because it would be impossible to get to this point with just young votes, obviously. so that made no sense.
besides that, i love how sarcastic people are about the fact people are actually excited to be involved. "young" people spend so much time caring about pointless bullshit, and then get hated on when they care about things that matter. being a good citizen...man, so overrated!!! i'd rather people be bragging about voting than bragging about their new cell phone or how drunk they got last weekend. |
