    I believe this thread is still open for Palin/McCain supporters to come in and voice their opinions. Anything relating to the election or the presidential hopefuls is fair game i believe.

    "she shoots moose? I thought she said she was loose"

    that was a good video. Poor Reps. cant get an endorsement from anyone.

    Looking back at this whole presidential run for McCain, his biggest mistake was choosing Palin for VP. I think in the beginning it did exactly what he wanted. It made for huge news and was being talked about everywhere. I think he thought it would eventually all even out though. Man, was he wrong. Palin became bigger than McCain himself and now its like if you are voting Republican this election, you are picking Palin and that other guy.

    I just got my information on where to vote today. Tuesday, November 4, at 6 am, I will be standing in line at St. John's United church of Christ.

    god damn it. Why does it have to be a church and not a fire house lol.

    why was the ad stupid though? It was very smart on his end. It was a half hour of showing him interact with families and showing what he went through to get where he is today. He also got a half hour to talk about his plans without mccain blurting out something that was false or distorting what barack said.

    There are toooons of rednecks out there that think that. Shirts that say "i cant tell the difference between obama and osama, can you?" Signs saying "WARNING: No terrorist associates to be commander & Chief of the USA"
    No every redneck doesnt hate obama. There is a group called rednecks for Obama but there are some that are just racist. nothing more, nothing less.

    If obama pulled in one vote from the people that are on the edge last night, then it helped him a little more and pulled a vote away from McCain.

    Obama cant think he has it wrapped up. He has got to keep going like he is behind in the standings. There are too many factors that can happen to think he has this wrapped up. Nominees find ways to get votes thrown out, people that say they will vote start to think its a landslide so they end up not going, and they are saying the Bradley effect could be a factor. This isnt like football where you shouldnt pass when you are leading by 30 on the 20 yard line with a 1:50 left. You have all that support money, might as well put it to good use.

    I have one of those shirts I guess that makes me a redneck, even though I'm from Pittsburgh. You talk about how people stereotype Obama, then you Stereotype other people. Also yeah I don't want a Terrorist Associate to be Commander & Chief of the USA.

    So all those links that Bush and his family to the Bin Laden family aren't links to terrorism and the Commander & chief?

    I'm not exactly what you would call Bush's biggest supporter. But yeah I guess Bush really hasn't kept Americans safe since 9/11, has he? :roll:
    Also don't you live in Canada? Why do you care so much if you do.
