Elections - April 2007

I was watching some youtube videos of Obama. On the comments alot of people were calling him Ni**a and other offensive words. I watched a few videos of him speaking and checked out his website. He seems alot more genuine than George Bush. There were also comments on that he was liberal & socialist and claims of ' America can only function on capitalism'. I was taught by one of of my history teachers that a country with extreme communism/socialism or extreme capitalism is a disaster waiting to happen. I wonder what these people writing racist things about an educated man with coloured skin were taught? i'd like to hear your views

Just a harmless joke or an insensitive remark by a presidential candidate during a time of heightened tensions?

When you see someone is running for President, so you know at least 3 things that that person is for, or against? Or do you just pick them on looks, what someone tells you, or something else?

This is just a survey!

I think so.. Read this

Other fundraisers for Mr. Obama and Mr. Edwards, who is leading in the Iowa caucus polls, said they are being joined by more Democrats since the first-quarter fundraising numbers raised questions about Mrs. Clinton's vulnerability.
Those numbers not only showed Mr. Obama nearly matching Mrs. Clinton's $25 million in total contributions in the first three months of this year, but also attracting far more donors -- 100,000 to 60,000.
"After those fundraising numbers came out, people are now saying, 'Wait a minute, she is not inevitable as the party's nominee,' " said a Democratic strategist here. "When you see people who have nothing to lose going with Obama or Edwards, then you know she is going down."
The latest national Gallup Poll, taken April 13-15, showed Mrs. Clinton losing ground to Mr. Obama who trailed her by five percentage points -- 31 percent to 26 percent. Mr. Edwards was in third place with 16 percent.

I know the french presidency is a 6-year term but how many times can a french president run for office. It seems that President Chirac was able to run a third time but he decided to retire.

I love America, (I gotta admit, I am kinda biased), but I will never understand why the American people are, almost, afraid to vote outside of a preconcieved box. The Democratic and Republican party both bring people to the presidential election that will serve as a representation of their party, not the representative of the everyday American.

I may offend people when I say this, but DO NOT VOTE FOR THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS! Vote for someone you want to win, period. Vote for someone who you think would be best for the job, vote for someone who you think would be a great leader, vote for someone who you think will be a correct representation of the everyman in office, not a correct representation of the top 10% in office. Sadly, until my fellow American's can vote without having a biased for soley either Red or Blue, this country will continue to, MAINLY, elect corrupt. (I will not deny the exsistence of some highly qualified individuals from both political parties)

As it stands now, it looks like Hillary or Obama will run for the Dems in '08. So, I gotta ask. Do you really believe this country will elect a woman or black man to be president?

Now, don't get me wrong. I would vote for either of them if they subscribed to my political beliefs, but can anyone look at all those red states in the middle of the country and seriously believe that the Dems have a chance in '08 unless Edwards wins the prinary?

I think Barrack Obama should retire from politics so as not to be used in such a pitiful bid for redemption by this clown.

The people of the District of Columbia moved a step closer Thursday to gaining voting rights denied to them for more than 200 years. But the legislation passed by the House on a 241-177 vote faced a veto threat from the White House, which said the bill was unconstitutional.

The Electoral College diminishes the voice of the people, thus, is removing the Electoral College a good remedy to the problem?

Be more or less likely to vote for the woman? What about if one were a minority?

Again, my premise is that you have two basically identical candidates, political point of view-wise, and their views are very close to your own.

Many American citizens do not vote on election day. Although compulsory voting can increase the number of voters, it is not the most suitable solution. What other solutions are there for persuading Americans to vote?

Dont take you hatred for Bush into the next election. The Democrats will most definitly change our economy for the bad. Dont use this adminstration as a tool for your final decision. Our economy is booming even with high gas prices. Gotta hate those prices though.

Al Gore had a great military career but didn't even mention it. If he did I think the public would have been more outraged at the theft of votes and the Electoral College would have thought twice before making their decision.
