Winning this Presidential election....

[CornedBeef]

Yes. If you refer to "Doctor Grammar's" answer to an earlier query, you'll see that he states

Dear Monia,

I agree with you; it should have been "None of us wishes to be killed" because 'none' = 'not one'

Here is how its going to play out. Obama is going to win because 80%
of uninformed Americans think Republicans are at fault for the
mess we have today. When in fact it was the give away programs
the Democrates started in the 90s.

 And when Obama gets in and the sheet hits the fan, it will all be blamed on the
Republicians. Write it down. remember it, cause that is what WILL happen.

Actually Sandman is right.  Both uses are acceptable.  If they weren't, you would find phrases such as the following being acceptable, but amusing:

"None of us is going to town."  Contrast that with :  "None of us are going to town." The pronoun "us" indicates plurality, and makes "are" a more appropriate choice.

"None are college educated."  Okay, "None is college educated." can be used, but it isn't very prosaic.  I could have said "None of them are college educated." which would have given me two nouns indicating plurality, but I didn't, choosing to shorten the sentence.  Besides, at the start of that phrase, I used the noun family, which can be construed as either singular or plural.  I chose to use the plural meaning, for that allowed me to pair it with "are" which made the sentence more pleasing to the ear.

You're forgetting which party ruled House/Senate from 1994-2006...

OCTOBER 2-4


Obama 338   
McCain 185   
Ties 15





The Americans have spoken.....

I don't see McCain recovering from this.  He already lost some of the most important battleground states.



_{Electoral-Vote.org is a very accurate site, besides they take all the polls and combine them together.}

They most certainly have not. The election is November 4.

yup just like now..Democractic Majority with the lowest rating ever.

All are to blame but Democrates were the ring leaders.

[Sandman]

yup just like now..Democractic Majority with the lowest rating ever.

The numbers are low because they haven't done what the promised during the 2006 elections. They campaigned hard on going after Bush and they have since capitulated at every turn. Reid and Pelosi have proven themselves to be weak and ineffectual.

lol... whatever happened to the "First 100 days" that they promised

[Sandman]

Like I said. They haven't held up to their promises.

[john9001]

in the first 100 days they voted on a lot of non binding resolutions.

whoever wins we lose, just with one winner we will lose at a much faster pace than if the other wins
