Not withstanding the comments posted on the subjects thread, I thought it would be interesting to see if the swinging community had a preference between Obama and McCain. Most of us don't have a vote of course, personal self interest won't come into it, which makes it just a bit of fun. It would be interesting to see if the community's "liberated" attitude to sexual matters extends to our view of US politics.
I hope this is not viewed as too controversial by the mods. The poll will only run for 1 day to reflect the actual election.
despite Obama receiving news of his grandmothers death he has carried on with the rally in north carolina,good luck to him tommorrow....Go Obama Go
Geo W has presided over two disastorous wars and the worst financial crisis possibly ever, I suspect he and his political allies have gained significantly on a personal level from the above . All this on a disputed presidential vote finally given to him in a state run by his brother.
It can't get worse............can it ???
Obama will be inheriting a "sack of sh*t" We will find out whether he has the qualities of a true statesman or not.
I wish him all the luck in the world.
McCain has mostly supported Bush and is 72 and in poor health meaning Sarah Palin could become President, a prospect to truly fear!
I do so hope Obama wins.
I think its all down to one thing and one thing only is the USA ready to have a Black Man in charge everything else goes out of the window.
If they think they are ready he will get in, if they aint it shows the world just what its really like it the good of US of A.
I am not really that bothered to be honest, but feel that Obama would be a better choice.
My only worry is how long will it be before he is either assainated or an attempt is made. That from what I have heard is a lot of peoples worry.
He seems young and dynamic to a point, but then again so did Tony Blair, and look where that left us.
Still may the best man win, and whoever that is he needs a lot of luck, for the world is in a sorry mess at the moment, and will take a strong President to correct that....if they can.
it kind of scares me that 19% have voted for mccain in the poll...
the margin of victory maybe bigger than people think.
i think obama promises too much and may not be able to i can see him winning easily.
I was in the States for the last election and it was clear that George "dubbya" only got re-elected for his second term because the American people will always support their sitting President.
This time, it's a different ball game and faced with the choice of an old woman, a young gobby one or electing the first Black President, I think Obama is quids in.
:thumbup:
Gotta be Obama for me.
A time for change.
Nola x
I am ready for a long night of flicking between Fox news, CNN and MSNBC on my computer........ beers and food... there is even an election party going on in town, but since they are not allowed to serve alcohol after 1, i thought i'd skip it......
the obama speech this evening should be one for the ages......
I'm with you fabs, pulling an all-nighter here I reckon.
I went to bed in 2000 at about 3am and Al Gore had won. I woke up at 7am and there'd been the recount and Bush was in.
Grrr... I will not make that mistake again! :doh:
I'm watching through the night tonight too. After all I think maybe the US elections possibly will have more bearing on me and my childrens lives in this shrinking world than the UK's General election.
does anyone know if obama intends on pulling thier troops out of afganistan and iraq??
