Although I do not think that Bush's approach is right, you also need to be more proactive than 'talking to the enemies.'

Can you elaborate on what you mean here? Why exactly do you fear for your national security? And what exactly is the right approach?

KThxBye

A very sad reality indeed.

I'm not sure I agree with all of Obama's policies but definitely more than I would with McCain's. It's time for change. Hopefully Obama will deliver.

it's pretty damn scary. the entire world wants obama and if they enitre world was voting he would win, but unfortunately Americans don't really care what the rest of the world wants. It will be close.

+1

I think this election is going to be a lot closer than people think.

There was an article, I forget where, but it was showing how it was very possible (though unlikely) that Obama would win the Popular and Vote and still lose the election (ala Bush Round 1)...

I want Obama to win but he won't change that much. Everything will remain relatively the same, with the exception of a few small things here and there like higher taxes for the rich. I think people are being too optimistic about the change Obama will bring. Everyone has to remember that his hands will be tied on a lot of issues and it isn't just "Obama says this therefore that's how it will be". There's people out there, other than the President, who have a say in American policies as well.

What I'm worried about the most though, is the fact that the polling stations won't handle the turnout. Line ups are going to be H-U-G-E. I wouldn't be surprised if a good chunk of people won't be able to vote because the stations will already be closed by the time they get to the front. Gotta love it though; all America ever preaches about is the "freedom/democracy" bullshit and they're not even properly equipped to handle a large voter turnout.

Our Welcome Back America event seems to be getting some attention: CBC Radio in Montreal interviewed Spacing's senior editor Shawn Micallef, and tomorrow morning Shawn is a guest on CBC Metro Morning here in Toronto. The Globe and Mail is running a feature on the event and CNN has contacted us to see what we're up to.

So now its up to you to let all of your friends know about this world-wide event. Update your status and provide a link to the event listing. Change your profile photo our event's graphic. Email your local newspapers, radio stations, and TV stations. Post the event on your blog or in the comments section of other blogs.

Cross your fingers (or help get out the vote if you are in the US) that it's an Obama victory so we all don't look silly Wednesday morning!

Yeah, there are already signs of this happening due to polling machine malfunctions and stuff like that. Every issue gets amplified when there are so many more voters.
I fully expect that the administration of this election is going to be grossly mishandled.

If Obama doesn't win....

I don't even know!

Posted by infinity HiGH on Nov-04-2008 16:57:

I'm gonna laugh so hard if McCain wins.

This will be the New England Patriots vs. New York Giants Superbowl all over again. Everywhere I look; people aren't talking about who will win but how great it will be when Obama is President, what kind of President he will be, etc etc.

Oh, and I was wrong about them not being prepared for the election. Ohio Police have been ordered to wear riot gear. Awesome. Just imagine if all the people that didn't get to vote start to riot (and they f'ing should).

Why lol? McCain's chance of winning based on the most recent polls is statistically next to impossible.

The question wasn't who do you think SHOULD win.

if the voting was based on popular vote than obama would win but the electoral college thing brings it much closer.

mccain could get virginia, and pennsylvania or any other combination of battleground states and he could win.

Biden for Pres or Palin for Pres?

I'm sorry but if Palin became President that would be the biggest insult to Politics in history.

All I have to say, is if Obama doesn't win.... people will truly feel that their vote does not matter.

Conjecture flows so easily when one doesn't actually have to participate in the process.
