President Obama, I think Powell clinched it

Interesting choice of words...

woo hoo... welcome to the USSA

Adam,

Not that its my sentiment, but I agree with you and had brought that up to others before. I finally heard on the news this weekend that it has a name...The Bradley Effect, after a black governor(?) candidate in CA that was way ahead in the polls but lost.

And color aside, I have trouble believing most polls as they tend to be biased to the left any way. Kerry and Gore were ahead in the polls too. What is a little scary tho is the electoral vote count. McCain only has to loose by one vote in each state and the whole state's Electoral vote goes to Obama and looks like a landslide. Going to be a long night.(at least I hope it will be...as compared to an early on electoral landslide)

Azues, i think the wont vote for a blackman people will be offset by the Im voting for a blackman people,

If you believe in Obamas public health care just visit a country that already has it.My wife is from Ukraine and their best doctors are already here in USA. Their hospitals are dumps and the doctors expect you to give them money or they will send you home! I want my doctors to be rich and happy. Socialism is a form of communism. Not very political but I get pissed when politicians takes those of us who works every days money and gives it away to some lazy a--. Just my opinion.

where are all the Demmy's?
McCain in my eyes is the better man for the job, but, I have no idea what part of his body was doing the thinking when he picked his running mate. thats where he f-d up. she is mainly out of the spotlight becasue she has no clue on what the hell is going on, and there is a good chance she would be bumped up into the high seat....Deer season would be a national holiday and the postal workers would get the day off

one theory that does seem to work is setting up sick stations at your local pharmacy, if you havnt noticed there is one at every corner, but it could take care of the runny noses and coughs, My wife is from that generation, she gets flu shots, she makes sure meat is well done, she goes to the doctor for a frickin hang nail,
Ive seemed to miss the Doctor for about 15 years, which i probably shouldnt, but if it does head to a social direction education needs to follow, there really is alot of excess in the medical industry and regulations need to be put in place, Doctors are gun shy and cover the bases nowadays,
when you dont have coverage as 46 MILLION dont, they will not mind standing in line for 8 hours, its better than sitting at home waiting to die because you dont have coverage, its always the well covered that get on the band wagon with the big mouths.
we live in the most powerful society in the world and the current health care system does not work...prove me wrong

on the other side of the coin, he is half white....does this make him a white man or a black man? or is it what one thinks?

Luch, explain healthcare in your country including the pro's and con's
socialism in a democracy is a far cry from socialism in a dictatorship

Our current health care system may not be perfect but it is still one of the best in the world! Our insurance companies on the other hand would have to be close to the bottom! I just do not believe that the government can make either one better.They will probably make a huge mess of it. If the demms want to pay for people who do not work insurance than let them with their own money.I am not rich or poor or have great insurance but I work hard for what I have and so should everyone that is mentally and physically able! If we quit giving all of these handouts to people I think that they will find a way to survive.I am not trying to pi-- anyone off, it is just my opinion(right or wrong)

socialism

whats making it not affordable is the offset costs for the uninsured, anyway you look at it the uninsured are being paid by the insured, our high premiums through the insurance companies are paying the tab. A family on the edge shouldnt have to pay 700 to 800 a month for healthcare, and ***************ty coverage at that

Greg, "if" interesting choice of a word lol

wow...you guys are tough. I just wanted to comment on a few of the things I found humorous. My boss gives us first day of deer season off - paid - because we all hunt. "His" choice and freedom to do so, as "he" pays our wages. My fiance is in the military. Seems like there is a paid holiday at least every other week. Who pays their wages? He is Military/Government...Health care is another issue:when faced with a serious health issue, it's great having options. You usually have several hospitals to choose from, as well as many doctors under company insurance. I like that option. I like having choices. A few years ago, we did have to make choices regarding a serious health issue and I would hate to think of not being able to go where we decided and to the doctors we chose. Our society has become sue happy, the criminals are innocent until proven guilty - even if you witnessed the crime. Welfare has become a way of life for many. Many of our children are not being raised to work hard and to earn what they make.I do not like politics (or politicians). I know who I am voting for and I know where I am going to vote. But...can we have a do over?

I do agree that there is alot of racial tension stemming from this election. We have local high schools rioting. At what point does it stop?
