[Major]

Why would we not know? The whole thing was covered live by the BBC, I'm sure it was everywhere else too. The only problem was the time lol.

[Saffy]

yeh impossible not to see of hear about it.

but no way mc cain was gonna win. and yeah Obama is gonna really protected IMO

[Judge]

Finally Obama wins

[Major]

I bet you Obama survives his whole term; although many ppl argue it because of JFK and all (this is actually helping the debate), the secret service is actually crazy good nowadays. The only thing is stuff like suicide bombers and car bombers and anything random like that; nearly impossible to predict/prevent. I mean, look what happened to Mrs. Pakastani incumbant...

[A Political Junkie]

If anybody should be assassinated....

gogo bush....

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

If anybody should be assassinated....

gogo bush....

10 years +71 days until he loses his secret service detail

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

I think McCain did a better job.

1. you are an ocean away from where campaigning actually happened
2. you agreed with him before the campaign so you where not the target of anything, his goal was to attract independants not to get conservative christians to vote for him

[XpT_TwiLiGhT]

secret service > anry rednecks

obama doesnt need more protection than bush

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

secret service > anry rednecks

obama doesnt need more protection than bush

obama does need more protection than bush and is getting more than anyone has ever gotten from the secret service.


also do you realize how easy it would be to kill somebody if you are willing to give your life to do it, a fat suit and some chemicals and you can make an easily hideable bomb and up until a few days ago that guy was walking around in crowds. a halfway decent movie special effects makeup guy and a amatuer chemist could have killed him a hundred times over in the past year its just that rednecks are dumb as hell

[A Political Junkie]

I honestly hope no hurts Obama

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

*different kind of politics*













plz ignore my state senate race where i used legal bullshit ot push all of the other candidates out

and also where i failed at becoming a congressman

and where i couldnt even get to the senate on my own merit

[A Political Junkie]

I dont think the uneducated masses care

The state senate race lol I watched a special on that, Obama has mh on imo

2. you agreed with him before the campaign so you where not the target of anything, his goal was to attract independants not to get conservative christians to vote for him

1. Relevance?

2. Wrong. He needed to campaign in red states just to stop them falling to the Democrats. In other words, he needed to convince Republicans to remain Republicans despite Obama's claims. Also, McCain didn't even target conservative Christians as much as previous Republicans did.

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

thats because conservative christians are going to be against obama for supporting abortion rights

and the relevance of not being in a target of advertisements and such is pretty obvious isnt it?

[A Political Junkie]

woah, seein double op

You don't think we saw them?

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

i wasnt aware that american and australia shared much of a media market, i though that programs would be rebroadcast with more relevant local ads

[Crusading Knight]

Both.

Obama does not support abortion anymore than McCain does. As a party, he does, but not in his opinion at all. However, you would get the same no movement on abortion policy from both of them in the next 4 years, so that issue doesn't/didn't matter in this [last] election.

actaully mccain is against the right to have abortions where as obama would rather you not have them, but would not try to take the right to choose away

[Jean-Paul Fartre]

hmm yes its not like the supreme court is old as hell or anything and the president is who gets to select candidates to replace them *ignores political realities, is a moron*

[A Political Junkie]

Wrong.

[Wylde]

CK it wouldnt matter that you saw the advertisements themselves, its that the advertisements weren't trying to sway YOUR particular vote, as you have no fucking thing to do with the election's outcome.

[Crusading Knight]

How is that relevant to my opinion that John McCain did a better job than Obama?

[Wylde]

McCain adopts kids.

[Judge]

as you have no fucking thing to do with the election's outcome.

Every vote counts, there have been elections where parties win by one vote
