I don't think that he could do anything to change my mind. This election was ridiculous, I've never seen so many people vote for the most inane
reasons. If you want to see what i'm talking about, go find Obama's facebook page and read the comments people are leaving. I can't even think of
a word to describe how dumb some of these people are.
Lets face the truth. With the current procedures, only McCain or Obama had a chance at winning.
I will first say that the presidency is known to age persons up to 20 years on the outside, and I can not say how many on the inside. McCain is old.
You put him up there and add that much stress on him he will be a pile of bones. Sarah Palin is just a barbie - I am clueless to what people see in
her besides easily spoken sentences that get one riled up.
Obama on the other hand got many of his votes from uneducated voters and minorities that only saw skin color. Not to mention his play on words that
could be taken many ways.
So these are our two candidates. A man named republican with a female vice president (sole purpose was for demographic) who gets votes from the
average white person who have been life long supporters.
Here is Obama. Like I said before, a man who gets votes based on race and plain speech skills.
You say the election was ridiculous. It was. But that does not recall the fact that Obama WON and that McCain blew it with his straight talk express
that went down hill and the failure of the republican party due to Bush.
My dad is a life long republican. He voted McCain. After the election he said that McCain would seem like another Bush - and I think he is right.
Even with a large crowd of sheep that blindly follow Obama - I know for sure there was a large crowd of sheep following McCain. Now that Obama is
president, we can only hope he does not abuse these sheep and stay true to his word.
