Next President of the United States

Onkel Neal · 08-31-08, 08:48 AM

Here it is, the official Subsim presidential poll. Who do you think will be the next President of the United States? Not necessarily who you want to be President, but if you had to bet a steak lunch, who you think will actually win.

Gee, Obama 100% McCaine naught .... oh, wait, I am the only one who has voted so far

Lets balance that out a bit, shall we?

I'm probably going to write in somebody more to my liking than either of them, but I suspect that Obama's going to take it. Either way it's going to be a history-making presidency, with either a black president or a woman veep. And either way, politics and opinions aside, the country will get along just as it always has, for better and for worse.

Just tied it up at five and five ...

Need a tie breaker

I'm sticking with my vote in the original thread. And hoping for the best for all of us. Other nations included.

I think it will be Obama, but I still think it will be a close election.

I'm tired of thinking about it because no matter who wins...we are still hosed. I voted Obama as the likely winner anyway. Pelosi said he was sent by God and I believe her. Just like most of the stuff she says

When did she say that? Do you have a citation for this?

:rotfl:

Speaking of which (referring to God and Obama in one sentence), who said this?

“As far as I’m concerned [Barack Obama] is a ‘Baruch,’ which means a blessing. He is a blessing to the United States Senate, to America, and to our shared hopes for better, safer tomorrows for all our families. The gifts that God has given to Barack Obama are as enormous as his future is unlimited. As his mentor, as his colleague, as his friend, I look forward to helping him reach to the stars and realize not just the dreams he has for himself, but the dreams we all have for him and our blessed country.”

Third quote fellas....."God has blessed us with Obama at this time". Maybe I'm a bit more direct with 'sent by God' but the general idea is there.

If you want to see more commentary on this statement, google Pelosi God Obama. Settle in for some long reading.....

And this is just classic.....the party of change and giving out hugs.........

No matter who wins, history in the making.

Looks like Obama has got the KKK vote.

Clocked up well over a hundred posts on the other thread, so this one will be short.
I'd be voting for Obama. I can't vote, so one of ye will have to do it for me, hopefully in a swing state like Florida or (hopefully) Georgia :p

I think he'll get it too. Comparing how the campaigns have been run, message control, gaffes etc, there's no contest. The stories about how badly Obama is doing relative to the election year being so anti-Republican bear a reminder that the country has become a lot more entrenched politically in the last 8-10 years.

I'm going to be sorry once November comes, this election is like crack to me.

I'm voting McCain. Cindy is cute and she owns a beer factory. Credentials I can live with
