It's not Tuesday yet here in the US, but we're getting close (between 4 hours Pacific and one hour Eastern).

Who else is ready to get this ****ing political season over?

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

I've been ready for it to be over for a year.  Of course I don't expect it to be over anytime soon.  Recounts, lawsuits, etc will follow.  Then in a month or so they will start talking about 2010 and 2012.

I dont live in a battleground state so ive probably been exposed to the fewest possible ads. Starting early doesnt give you any advantage.. just pisses everybody off for 3 or 4 years. Most people dont pay attention until 2 or 3 months to go. The primaries shouldnt drag on for 2 years.

I hope to watch from a bar. I want a good view and glass of Chardonnay in my hand as the McCain campaign topples like the Hindenburg amidst pillars of flame.

Well, coming time for the new president to come on in, after 2 years of campaigning: a hope for change, and a change for hope. :no: Hope is all fine and dandy when there's a good plan backing it up. Oh well--Canada may have an additional citizen soon.

Both candidates believe at some level the BS they spew.  I'd vote Obama (if I was 18), though, because I'd rather not give Palin a shot at getting the Oval Office.  At least Biden isn't a milf.

Finally they can stop sending me all this damn junk mail. I get several copies of the same pamphlet in the mail on a daily basis. I'm seriously thinking of voting Obama for the sole reason that his campaign has sent me far less junk mail. :p
Holy Crap. SHIVANS! Tours

 
The intresting thing about this election is that you actually vote for Joe Biden or Sarah Palin, because John Mccain will die of his old age reasonbly soon and Barrack Obama will be shot by an racist bastard.

Remember kids, Biden is a MAFIAA lapdog, and Palin is a Book Banner. No matter who wins, we lose.

...John Mccain will die of his old age reasonbly soon and Barrack Obama will be shot by an racist bastard...

The former has a higher chance of happening. I wouldn't say it out loud, however. Palin becoming a president would be more disastrous. I dislike her ever since she first appeared, and downright disapprove her conservatism ever since I read about her "I don't believe in dinosaurs because they aren't in the Bible" comment. (It was in a TV magazine that I read this, so she may not have even said anything like that). I admit that I don't know much about Biden, and therefore I don't know what he would be like as a president should Obama has the abovementioned fate.

Everything seems to point to Obama having a slight percentage lead over McCain, but that was yesterday's news.

In 9-10 hours, we'll see who the eastern sea board goes to. No idea until tonight: and I don't think many networks will be too hot on saying "Obama wins" until he has enough states.

Did you know that both of my grandparents were wounded in world war 2 (one of them pretty badly), and that one of them lived till 94 and the other till 89? How old is McCain? 73? And he's a rich white male, and in excellent condition for such. Somehow I just can't see him dying in office.

And if there's a presidency in which security would be tight and prepared for this, it would be Obama's. If Every single kid in America is like "omg obama will get ****ing shot", Then I'm quite sure that people who work for his safety and security for a living will have realized this and prepared for it long ago.

If Bush is still alive. Obama has a reasonable chance.

While Obama only has to deal with racists Bush has to deal with every single conspiracy nut who blames the US government for 9/11. Works out as a wash as far as I'm concerned.

Without a disaster like Bush we would have never had Obama get so far in the race. I'm voting for him this afternoon and I'm pretty sure he'll win the presidency.

I'm actually more interested in who will take the house and the senate, since those seem more uncertain thanks to Cain's 'You don't want a one-party government, do you?!' campaigning.
