Obama vs McCain

[Ezzie.]

..... I think you're getting confused with what a republican actually is, his spending was from donations by the people to help him in his campaign, as far as I know he couldn't use that money to help people with debt etc.

All americans vote for Obama

[scottish]

What an idiotic statement.

Not all americans vote for obama hence how about 44% vote for McCain.

[Pebbles-Tiger]

I Prefer McCain Because Obama Is saying he's gonna change this and change that.

And half of that stuf wont even get through.

LOL at you thinking you know how the election process works.

We do elect the president, WE are the popular vote.

Each state has a certain amount of votes in the Electoral College.

NC has 15. (13 representatives + 2 senators).

Say McCain gets 11M votes in NC and Obama gets 10M.. McCain wins North Carolina.. and gains 15 total votes in the Electoral College.

The electoral voters don't get to choose who they vote for, every single one vote for the same person.. whoever won that state.

Maybe you should read up on something next time before you make such an accusation pretending to know how it works :rolleyes:.

The popular vote doesn't elect the president though

In 2000, Al Gore got more votes - but Bush was elected because he had something like 5 more votes in the electoral college.

I agree. The money he received he used in a great way, I even sent him around $650.

Obama spent all his money on a 30-minute TV ad because he was afraid of loosing.

All americans vote for Obama

No they don't. I'm an American, I voted for McCain last Wednesday.. so not all Americans voted for Obama

What an idiotic statement.

I agree That gap is closing more rapidly though.. but you cannot trust those polls.

They call like 950 people.. and ask who they support.. then make a "nation-wide" poll about it.

In 2000, Al Gore got more votes - but Bush was elected because he had something like 5 more votes in the electoral college.

The popular vote has a major part in the election process.. otherwise it would be stupid.

I think I know what I'm talking about,

You can have wayyyyy more popular votes.. and still loose in the electoral college.. and vise-versa.

The popular vote decides who the state's electors vote for..

If McCain won NC he would have 15 electoral votes for him.. if Obama won CA (which he did).. he would have 53 something votes for him..

McCain could still win by winning more small states..

That's the way it works

And you're just arguing with me.. when I said all of this in my previous post..

lol, you misunderstood him. that was a command, not a stereotype. he was telling americans to vote for obama. calm down a bit, dude.

Arnold Schwarzenegger recently said 'Obama is too interested in spending' whilst with the money he's spent on advertisments about himself he could be helping out with paying peoples debts etc etc.

McCain is the one who is more focused on helping people, obama is just good at throwing the money around!

i'm not sure if you heard, but there's this little economic crisis we're having. both mccain and obama supported the 700 BILLION dollar bailout for the banks. instead of giving 700 billion dollars to the people struggling to pay debts, it was sent to the corporate banks who caused the mess in the first place!

obama is a capitalist. if he raised money and gave it to people, he'd be called a socialist (even more than he has now). so no matter what he does with the amount of money he raised, he'd be criticized in one way or another.

Well either way, I'm hoping Obama wins.. Although I'm a huge Obama fan I wouldn't be suicidal if Mccain got through (I'm Engish but I can see how this election is going to affect the whole world) but.. Palin.. dear god.. Palin.. what a ******* idiot she is.

Yeehaw.. a 12 year old girl got raped by her uncle? Nah, no abortion for you babe.

If a 12 year old gets raped by her uncle, I think it would be pretty wise for her to ******* tell someone.. not wait 9 months and say.. oh yeah.. I'm due to have a baby next week.. Uncle Billy-Bob raped me..

They can take care of these things the next morning.. or the next day.. and the baby is gone for good, but no.. they decide to wait.. and then abortion does become an option.. which is stupid, because it was their fault it came to that.
