Poll: Next President

July 2, 2008, 3:12 AM

Hi peeps,

I decided it would be an intresting idea to put a poll up to see who people think is better suited to be the next president of the U.S.A.

Simply vote, and state "McCain or Obama", you don't need to give a reason why, but can if you want.

No name-calling neccesary. If you feel like insulting somebody because they think McCain makes a better president, and you like Obama(or vice-vera) keep it to yourself. However if somebody says something you don't agree with you can reply and tell this person why you disagree.

And for the record my vote goes to McCain

I've become a bit disenchanted with the recent developments in this election, and though I was at first anxious and all-too-ready to run to the polls, I'm not going to be voting, because I despise Obama, and McCain seems just as bad of a choice. I've done my fair share of research into both of them, and I just can't come to grips with supporting either of them.

The only possible way I'll be casting a vote for this upcoming election, is if Obama or McCain acquire one impressive vice president. For Obama, that would be Hillary Clinton. For McCain...well, Mitt Romney isn't going to do it for me.

I'd go with Obama. I despise McCain, actually.

If Obama picks Hilary I think it will send a message to some(not everybody) but some, that hes weak. I've heard McCain has Crist, Romney, and some woman from Alaska whos young, all in mind for his VP position.

I forget her name though, but either way a liberal will end up in the White House lol.

Fair enough, considering I could say the same regarding Obama, I'm glad my home-country voted for Hilary XD.

I'm Independent, theres some things democrats say that I agree with like Gun Control, while i oppose the damn idea, i agree that things like Polymer Ball bullets, and certain carbines aren't needed for hunting.

But meh I'm a registered Republican, so yeah.

Red Mage - Put more effort into your posts.

As for choosing a president. Well, one main concern is the vice president. I hope that McCain chooses a good VP. Although he is 71, many Americans believe that McCain's health can be an issue. He could suddenly die of a heart attack. Who knows what could happen?

As for Obama, I'm a democrat and I agree with some of Obama's, but I'm not really sure about Obama. It's just Obama just seems to be winning because he promises this and that and change. I just don't see him keeping his words, or he might screw up in office.

Although I'm a democrat, I do believe in some republican views such as drilling for more oil, a spending economy, death penalty, and immigrant.

I'll have to see... There is a long way until the election. I'm not sure who to vote for yet.

What does really annoy me is whem democrats start making up bullshit about McCain being buddies with Bush. It's complete bullshit. This election almost seems like: "I HATE REPUBLICANS! DEMOCRATS ARE MUCH BETTER!"

John McCain. Obama is inexperienced, apparently weak, and seems like he would make an incompetent US president.

That said, I do think that John McCain is better suited in most ways, but the republican opposition to universal healthcare is one very important position. The nanny state policies of the Democrats are bad IMO, but at least they support universal healthcare.

I want Obama to be president and Hilary to be vice imo they make a great team.McCain Im not a big fan of him and his ideas.Im more into Obamas ideas. =/ So my vote goes to Obama.

Responses like that would be a tad spammy. Try to support your choice if you choose to post.

Personally, I want to vote for Obama...but his inexperience is unsettling. He seems like a good guy who has a genuine love of the country and its people, but I'm not convinced that he can lead a country effectively. With McCain, I feel this country would likely continue to move along as it does today...which may or may not be a terrible thing. I'm unsure if I'll vote or not. With politicians, it always feels like I'm choosing between the lesser of two evils...
