2008 US Presidential Poll

Expand Post »
Just to measure this site's preferred candidates, but possibly to stir up another hornets nest.

More info.


The poll had a limit of 10 items.
There are more R's than D's because I made this poll and because that side is more contested.

Re: 2008 US Presidential Poll

Dunno why, but I'm digging Obama. I seem to be able to stomach him more than the others. On the R Side, the only person that appeals to me is Romney, and I don't even know why there, either...

Isn't voting supposed to be anonymous?

Re: 2008 US Presidential Poll

Obama is the smoothest talker of the bunch. Hillarity Klinton wants to cut all the senior citizen's social security and medicare benefits, freeze all raises for the next 4 years, and cut all military pay and benefits. She has already written/sponsored a bill to do exactly that. That's terrible.

Why does someone always take a cheap shot at her name? Frankly, I didn't expect that from you AD. You should be ashamed.

Re: 2008 US Presidential Poll

Can somebody explain to me how presidential elections work? Why are Clinton and Obama both Democrats? Aren't they sort of running against each other?

I don't get it...

These are the primaries, where each party selects their electable presidential candidate. A time when there is a lot of mud slinging and much blatant lying. A "hornets nest" of special interests, as everyone wants a free government handout!
