No one died when Clinton lied.
Just think what it will do to her mind when she finds out Australia is both a floor wax and a dessert topping.

So let me go to the other side and ask: would McCain have lost on his own or did he need Palin's help?
I told myself as I was writing my last little bit that if anyone notices my subliminal messages it was going to be Mr. GrimJack himself....you are so predictable. I think it was inevitable that obama was going to win...to much need for "change" in the USA for the votes not to go to the one who promises that. I only wrote the Oprah bit to spark conversation. This election was absolutely untraditional. Media (in my opinion) drives a large portion of our nation, able to sway thoughts one way or another, as well as powerfully influential people: Oprah being one of them. Politics itself is 'pure crap' if you ask me. Palin was absolutely a help McCain, but who ever even heard of Sarah Palin before 2007? Not me, or anyone else I know. Anyhow... I am too tired to really dive into why I think the way I do, I just do...I thought I had the energy to dive into this one with you, but I just do not...perhaps we can discuss this later! Goodnight

I can understand ignorance, but to think that the USA goes three weeks every 4 years without a president is hard to believe.
The presidential term expires on January 20th, at noon.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

That's like saying the Speaker of the House is president for three weeks every 4 years.

If the president's term expired on the 31st, the new president's term would begin on the 1st.
You're talking about presidential succession, which has nothing to do with the president's term.

I am nothing special; of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. -The Notebook
