The 2008 US Election thread

[DrinkingHarp]

Any truth behind this rumour? Heard that some democrat has demanded that Obama produce his birth cert to prove that he was actually born in the USA; if not he can't be president. Understand that there's a court appearance, or similar, in early Nov but after the election?

Have not heard that at all.

His mother was a U.S. citizen hence he is a U.S. citizen.

If he was born in Kenya, he can't be president.

Just another futile attempt to discredit the man. John McCain was born in Panama.

Peggy Hill is smart though, she'd make a great VP!!

Alaska's largest newspaper has just endorsed Obama

Sadly it looks like Barack Hussein Obama is headed for the White House now. Can't see even the finest hanging chads preventing that.

And that radio at work could be damaged beyond repair come Wednesday next, when the inevitable Obama lovefest commences on RTE Radio 1. Not quite Fox-like in its bias, but pretty impressive for a national broadcaster, paid for by that licence fee they love to remind us of at every ad break.

Let's hope so. I dread the thought of another Republican president, particularly with that stomach-turning Palin second in command. The race will tighten up in the last few days though. Obama is not there yet.

It's not over yet - what's your beef with Obama OMS?

Do you use John McCain's middle name when referring to him?

OMS you are not posting on an American website. We think for ourselves in this country.

No, he certainly isn't.
A number of Americans have pointed out to me that old habits and prejudices are hard to ignore in Uncle Sam's land. When the average white American is on the point of hitting the button or checking the tick box or what ever needs to be done, he or she may just think long and hard about voting for someone who is not of their race and background.
It's at that final moment, when the die is about to be cast, that doubts may kick in.
By now I'd imagine that every person who has decided to go out and vote will also have decided which candidate he or he will vote for.
Every McCain backer will very likely vote as intended but the Obama camp are privately worried that some of their declared supporters may have a change of heart in the privacy of the ballot booth.

I have £20 on McCain at 5/4 from 2 months ago when he was beginning to build a degree of momentum, but McCain through his own mistakes has hurt his campaign since then.  Can't see anything other than an Obama victory at this stage.

I cannot believe you'd prefer to see Palin in the White House. Genuinely shocked at that OMS.

Also explain why you used his middle name? Do you think he is a terrorist? Do you think he is a Muslim? Or are you merely trying to give that impression so a few idiots (10% according to polls - how fucked up is the US?) will believe that?
