Well at the end of the day - the American people have little in the way of real choice. There is nothing more damaging to the open concept of democracy, than an popularity contest - based on personalities. A clear choices between the lesser of two evils. Democracy - don't make me laugh.

Isnt that the way the americans like to work though? Its always been about personalities and who has the best "leadership qualities"

Personally i think it was a bad choice for McCain to go for Palin, on the surface it might seem they were going for the "woman vote" and/or democrats that would have voted for Hilary. But Palin is pro guns, pro drilling, anti abortion, as Republican as you could get, but the fact that she did a complete u-turn on the whole "bridge to nowhere" issue shows shes not as straight talking as people would think.

For Obama, he made a very safe choice in a seasoned politician in the way of Biden who is respected by politicians on both sides.

Makes for a more interesting race for the presidency this time round i think. Before McCain went for Palin i thought he would have the edge over Obama, now im not so sure. Her inexperience may be their undoing, but on the other hand it could have been an inspired choice of vp running mate. I guess history will tell.

Sweltered, don't agree - nice to have you back in the body of the kirk though.

A disaster. Once the smoke and mirrors clear, we'll see the sham for what it is. Don't get me wrong, McCain is almost as bad, but this country (USA) will regret this. Maybe Obama will now let us know what his policies are.



I suppose it could have been worse. Al Gore could have run and won.

What the country regrets is the last 8 years. This country.. no, the world has suffered under this administration. The present president has one of the lowest ratings in history. We will find out who the new president is in due time, but we found out who the American people were last night.

Interesting Sweltered.

For talking sake, what change would you have endorsed?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Our idol?? lolol

I didn't vote for an idol, I voted for ideals. If he doesn't deliver those ideals as promised, that isn't a reflection of me, it is a reflection of him and his administration.

Some of us have had to suck it up for 8 years. It's a new day, Sweltered.

I'm wondering if you stand outside the door at weddings, telling the bride and groom looking forward to their future that tomorrow they will regret their choice. At least let us enjoy the wedding.

Bad analogy .... we never got an invite
