Who would you vote for?

[Yeager]

Nice hijack Yeager, here's 5 of McCains words  "I will veto any BEER"!   

I look at it as more of a digression.  Damn...too bad, I was leaning heavily towards the old white guy, but if Obama drinks great micro brews I will have
to re-evaluate my stance.  I like the fact that he smokes.  Shows the sort of self recklessness that always excites me!

[BTW]

The question is how do you wind up with these two in a country of 300 million?

Start in Iowa.

Why the hell do we start in Iowa?

I like McCain as far as a hero goes, but he's subpar when it comes to being the kind of leader we need.   I feel the same way about Oalabama.

It seems somebody agrees with me. McCain and Obama really have nothing for the economy, they got the nomination because of the same thing, McCain was a hero, Obama is black.

I personally think that Mitt Romney would have done a whole lot better for the U.S. than John McCain. From what I read, Romney would have been loads better than McCain.

[Motherland]

Robert Wexler for president!
"I like cocaine because.... it's a fun thing to do."
"I enjoy the company of prostitutes because.... oh, it's a fun thing to do."

Pretty much how I feel about it.
While McCain is a hero and deserves all the respect in the world for his POW experiences 40 years ago.
It was still 40 years ago
McCains POW status has exactly zero relevence to today

Neither guy is "The Guy"

While many are outraged about the other guy.

What we all should be outraged at is the choice of guys we have

[Nilsen]

There is alot of interest in the us election over here. Both because the choise will have abit of an impact on things outside the US and because we wonder how such a large nation cant field more options to choose from. We are only 4,6 million yet have far more real political parties to choose from. Our elections are also more boring because its more about the politics and  not so much about the celebrity/person at the top.

My "vote"? .. hmm.. based on foreign policies it would be Obama, but if i had to think about your domestic policies im not sure who has the balls to get the house in order. Many of the issues like guncontrol that is so interesting for many of you bbs members has 0 effect on the rest of the world. I guess my vote would go for the guy who cares the most about the enviroment/future generations.

Not really that hard of a question.
Most from other countries would vote for Obama.
He`s an easy target, a pushover without a clue.
He has made that more than obvious.

[angelsandair]

Obama seems like Clinton to me. He pushes for one thing, then turns right around and takes the other side. I remember him saying that he was immediately going to withdraw troops, and now, he talks about them maybe being gone in 2010. 

McCain is the same to me. I know McCain wont win just because of how much the media covers Obama and not McCain...

[Xargos]

Since I can't write-in Ron Paul in my state, I'll be voting for Bob Barr on the Libertarian ticket.  McCain nor Obama have the interest of America in mind.

No offense to Ron Paul, but I read a little paper about him at a speech thing in Austin Texas, and he seemed kinda like a nutt to me. He wanted to get rid of our military completely (which is apparently different now) and get rid of welfare, but at the same time, close up our borders... 

[Xargos]

He does not want to get ride of our military, but only to close some of the unneeded bases overseas.  Why do we need 800(?) bases outside our own country.  He wants the military to spend that money in the US instead of pouring it into countries that hate us.  He wants us to have a strong military, but doesn't want us to be the worlds police force.  Walk softly but carry a big stick.

P.S.  He does not like other countries making our military EQ.

P.P.S.  You need to check out his voting record instead of believing what the media says, because they hate him.

[evenhaim]

No idea, I just cant grasp obama as president, and McCain seems a little off.

[skernsk]

While I admit I don't know both sides policies and issues inside and out I would vote for MCCain.

I'll give you my reason and it is lame.  With Hillary and Obama going round after round all we heard about are the good the bad and the ugly regarding Obama.  I have not yet heard the good the bad and the ugly regarding McCain but I'm sure that will be forthcoming. 

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

What I find amusing about this is Obama is very obviously campaigning in foreign countries, and pretty much presenting himself as the preordained next President of the U.S.
