next american president

[A Horse called Juan Face]

does anyone really believe that the parts of america where teeth are at a premium and men cry when their sisters die because they dont have another sister to marry, are going to vote for a woman OR a black man?
I know that these people dont vote, presumably because the swamp doesnt have electricity for a tv, but arent they racist and bigoted enough to vote just to keep the democrats out?

PS i know this post is also racist and bigoted but unfortunately people like the ones ive mentioned do still exist.

I never met Bible John (not unless certain rumours had any basis), but I still know he existed.
I never met my grandfather either. Wonder if that means he was Bible John?

Horse, I bet you are one of those who thinks the Jerry Springer show represents average americans

Anyway, Obama won Mississippi today

Winning the Democrat vote and winning the overall vote are two very different things. Mississippi is the one with the really redneck senator, Storm something or other. Ill check that in a minute.

Trent Lott was the Mississippi Senator, but Im not sure it was him I was thinking on. It was Strom Thurmand and I might have been thinking of the comments Lott made at Thurmands birthday party.

I actually think Jerry Springer was faked, but I get your point. Of course not all Americans are trailer park people(Noam Chomsky is apparently one of the three most intelligent men alive) and most of them can read. But the fact remains that a high rate of them cant. And if these people were motivated to vote, ie by either racism or misogyny, then surely that would tip the balance against the democrats. Also the apathy towards voting in the States is very high amongst young people. Thats why left thinking bands keep doing things like Rock The Vote, but unfortunately it never seems to make any difference.

Personally, Id like to see Obama win. For all his faults that Sweltered has pointed out, Obama is still, for me at least, the only one who actually seems like a human being.

Disappointed Al Gore not in the running. Would like to have seen what he would have done as president, to act on what he talked about in an Inconvenient Truth. Not really sure why he didn't enter the race?

Probably because there is a huge number of people in this country who realize that "his" movie was one sided, full of bad science, misleading, and unhelpful. He is seen by a lot of people as being somewhat of a loser.

But if he believed it himself then I would have thought that, regardless of what others thought, he would have done everything in his power to change things - and that would presumably have included becoming president if he could. Maybe Bobbie's right, and he'll stand as an independent.......

If Obama gets the job I'd bet my last $ that he gets the same treatment as JFK.
No way on this earth this is Uncle Sam going to let a black man into the White House for too long.

It was on Bruce Springsteen's website this week that the only man to wipe out the horror of the last 8 years is Obama and he's rooting for him. Well, what's good for The Boss is good for me............ and all tramps like us!

I see that John McCain has released details of his medical records to try to dispel the notion that he is too old for the office at the age of almost 72.

McCain seems like a decent guy, but hes a republican. I prefer john tosh, he is a publican.
