Even then, Bush shouldn't have been president to begin with. In the 2000 election, Al Gore beat George Bush in the popular vote, WITH Florida added into the equation (and we now know that Gore also won Florida, but thanks to the Supreme Court's ruling when Gore asked for a recount, Bush became president). It should be a simple case of ONE PERSON, ONE VOTE, not this electoral system crap.

Obama by himself... I don't think he would be ready to take the helm. THANKFULLY, he chose Biden as his VP, and Joe Biden is a man with experience in politics. Now with that said, I think McCain COULD run the country, but I don't think he'd run it well, especially with that attitude of his of "WE'RE STILL NUMBER 1!". And that's why I'm voting for Obama.
More importantly, if McCain died in office, what about Palin? She'd become president and I don't think she was even a competent MAYOR after reading more about her.
I'll definitely be tuning into the VP debates.

I personally don't believe polls in magazines and on TV about the nominees mean much, but after looking around, I have noticed a lot of people on SubSim do. With that said, Obama is beating McCain by 3% in the approval census conducted last night by CNN (Obama has a 48% approval rate; McCain has a 45% approval rate). So that's something for you guys to think about.
