American Elections

Postby MagicKiwi » Wed Nov 05, 2008 1:41 pm

I have been watching with interest the ever-changing score on the front page of The Australian website since counting began this morning. Obama was miles ahead as he would be in the eastern states. As it's moved in a westerly direction, McCain is catching up. This could be a close finish.

I reckon Obama has got it stitched up. Won't be a 400+ EC Vote landslide as many predicted though.

So you're "Barack-ing" for Obama?
The way I see it, the Yanks are either voting for Biden or Palin, as I can't see Obama or McCain finishing out their terms...

I don't get it, where is Obama going? Or are you implying that some right-wing nut will knock him off?

Sorry, but Bush is no terrorist and I dont recall Bush launching his career or having dinner with any terrorists in his lifetime??

The man might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but he aint a terrorist.
