Election '08- Obamarama!

[typhonsentra]

Is there really no thread for this here yet? I know this is an international site, but even my European acquaintances are getting psyched about the upcoming elections, and the very likely possibility of the next pres being my boy Barack.

But when your candidate Obama has ben laden with such a bad name...

[Beware the talking cat]

OBAMA!!!

Well, I was really cheering for Richardson, but what can you do when the candidate only gets three percent of the vote.

[typhonsentra]

Wisconsin was another clean sweep, and Hawaii should be another one. Looks like he has 10 in a row now.

Looks like a close battle.

All in all, everyone knows Obama is the better candidate. Just that Hilary Clinton has that CNN-watching, American-Idol-loving, feminist, sensationalist, moronic group rooting for her.

Which composes what? 80% of the world?

did any of you guys voted? i didn't

I didn't vote either. Either way, some idiot will come into office again. I hope it's a Republican though, then government funding for nuclear energy will continue and maybe legislation for Yucca Mountain will finally make it through congress.

Votes don't count in America because all the politicians are bought by lobbysists from major corporations and interest groups.

well to be fair the last time an electoral college member didn't vote the way their state majority was, he didn't show up 4 years later

i can't help but wonder how the next president of the US will affect all those Haruhi-forsaken countries out there, mine included.. i don't know, its just that my country's dear president GMA used to suck up to Bush.. i don't think it'd be the same if it were obama or hilary..

it's so difficult when you know so much of the world's power is fondled by one - or a group of - nation.. somehow that power's being distributed to the other potential superpowers (this might just be me saying this..), but i think it's still a ways off.

That's called International Socialism, give it another 50 years and it might become viable if we (countries around the world) don't hate each other.

[shichinanatsu]

50 years? that's quite too soon.. i mean, the institutions responsible for global conflict don't seem they'd vanish any time soon right? need i say organized religion?
