there are alot of other things to consider, we are still to this day on shakey grounds with Russia, anyway you look at it Putin is still in charge and Putin Does not like McCain, and vica versa...I really think McCain wouldve got us wrapped up with them. I think Obama will respect the warnings already out and will steer clear of Russia and keep our already "shakey ground" relationship at bay with them.
they are once again building power and i see them as being a problem in the future, they are a shoot and look the other way country and Putin has that "evil" look to him |

And my bumper sticker will read:
"Don't look at me I voted for Nader" I am sure after just enjoying all 7 pages of this thread the majority of CC owners are far right in their political views which to me makes sense. M3fan thanks for your moderate views to stir the pot and make for some entertaining reading. JoeinNY had the best comments way back on page 3. Getting away from politics, I am curious who brings up the topic of Correct Crafts on their political or other non boating forums they contribute to. |

[QUOTE=scottb] I fulfilled my patriotic duties this week. Jury duty on Monday and voted on Tuesday. I'm good for a couple of years. Right?
Let's not forget that Veteran's Day is November 11th. |

There's a happy thought! Steelers!
Still waiting to hear about Ben's MRI. Leftwich will probably start on Sunday. He played a great game Monday night. |

Joel, 52% to 48% of the popular vote. Not as evenly divided as the last 2 elections, but still pretty even. If he's going to be a great president, he's got to consider everyone, not just his core.
Dixville Notch, NH voted for him, which I thought was unbelievable. Even the litte rural town I vote in went for him and they always go Republican. I hope he's a great leader. |

I agree.Now that the election is over I figure a post here won't hurt ![]() I did not vote for Obama,but I am going to remain positive about the direction we are heading and hope that everyone who voted for him has helped take this country down the best path for the majority,not jut a specific group(be it income/tax bracket,ethnic background,political agenda, etc.) I would certainly vote for him in four years if he proves he is capable. Time will tell. Mike |

I don't even know where to begin as far as describing how significant of an event this is for our country. An African American Democrat won the Presidential election in the USA by a significant margin. Several KEY "Red" states turned blue last night. Even my own county, the 31st wealthiest county in the USA (Lake County, IL- look it up) and traditionally a very republican county, voted for Obama by a huge margin. People around the world shed tears of joy. He delivered a monumental speech in my home town last night- right on the front lawn of Chicago. There is hope for America. Aside from our gun control discussions and tax discussions, step back and take a look at the big picture of what happened last night. Florida. Ohio. Virginia. The list goes on. Although a handful of people on this board don't approve of Barack, I can step off the soapbox because majority of the entire country disagrees with you.
Edit: Check out this election results map. You can drill into individual counties and adjust the time slider to see past results. Amazing. Election Results Map, NYT |

There's a lot riding on his shoulders. He has the opportunity to be a great president if he works with both sides of the aisle and they all try to solve our problems rather than political posturing. If he tries to cram a liberal agenda down our throats, it will be 4 more years of divisiveness like the past 12 have been.

My comical nature wants to compare the race yesterday to the race between the ccfan special edition boat and the 1973 white and orange mustang, in that it doesnt really matter who won because the same person own's both of them anyhow, but I am not actually that cynical yet and I would hate to compare Reidp to the big monied special interests...

Come on people, suck it up, drink the koolaid, get on the team. Four years from now you can then either say you did everything you could to help and the morons still couldnt pull thier heads out of thier arse, or should things improve you can claim victory for helping show them the light.
Although I do admit sometimes it is fun to cling to my bitterness... |

I don't think it will be "that" bad. There are way too many issues going on and there were only 2 candidates to choose from. My feelings are that (hopefully) each one of these controversial issues will be taken on one by one. What do you think?

Nate,time will tell my friend,
Ski, I was just telling my wife the other day on how much I cant stand the site of Doprah, she makes my blood boil, I dont know why, it might be the race thing on her part. baby dont cry mommy dont feed her. I gotta say this as for the election, I really think it was a timing issue, the last 8 years were ridiculas and it will go down in history as such...its right up there with the Carter years and people were afraid of the same ticket and were so beat up that they percieve a "change" and it worked. I think we'll be allright... |

The thing I don't understand is how everyone is saying that this man will suddenly unify our country, make it less partisan. Really?! the #1MOST LIBERAL and the #4MOST PARTISAN person in congress. I'm not really sure why people think he's just going to do this 'about face' when he gets into office; Oh yeah, because he told them he will...

Wow! Oprah can do anything. She should have run for VP with Obama. With that ticket they could have had double early voting and just cancel the regular poll. God Bless America!
