This must be the longest time it's taken a country to pick a leader EVER. I'm on the other side of the world and people still won't shut up about it. Anyway, what I wanted to say was, does anyone else think it's NOT a good idea if Celine announces the result of the election at her concert? Because Rene said she might. And people can get kind of agressive and into heated arguments about politics. It would suck if people got into fights in the audience or threw stuff at her or something. Maybe I'm paranoid, but when my Grandpa didn't like the result of an election, he smashed a plate over my Dad's head. I don't want that to happen to Celine.

Wo, that indeed would be bad!!!

Hope your dad got ok!!!!

[Jacqui]

Yeah, he's ok. But he didn't speak to my Grandpa for 10 years after that. They only made up when I was born because Dad wanted me to know my Grandfather.

[Lawna]

I will be voting! Not for Obama though...sorry. I love all my fellow Celine fans and respect who you choose as your president, but I cannot whole-heartily cast my vote for a man like Obama. His views are too liberal, and I am sorry we may disagree. I know many of you are pro-choice here. I am pro-life. I hope you can respect that. The most innocent of life is at the mercy of our hands. They have done no wrong have they? And yet the aborted survivors have taken their firsts breaths of life and are left to suffer and die. I'm sorry but saving the life of the innocent child is more important to me than my checkbook. I know you all will find other reasons to give me to sway my opinion, or maybe you won't? I dunno. All I know is he voted 4 times against medical care for these babies, his reasoning was because the bill was not in the same language as the federal...but that has been debunked. Then his next response was because it would burden the original decision that was made to abort the baby. Well I will stop now, because I am more than certain everyone knows the facts and have made their mind on who they will vote for.

 

So in hopes I will not receive and harassment letters on the board or in my inbox...I will now click the post button! lol

 

Love ya!

I shouldn't be in here since a) I'm not American and b ) I know very little about politics, but I'm bored, so can I ask something?

 

I agree 100% with your views on abortion, I'm totally pro-life. But how can McCain and those people be pro-life, yet pro-hunting? Hunting is also taking away an innocent life, needlessly, even if it's not a human one. That's where I'm stuck with my views, because those are two of the most important issues, to me.

Unfortunately there are so many people who would rather vote for another candidate just because they don't agree with "one thing" that the other candidate stands up for.

 

That was the reason why we got George W. Bush re-elected for a second term.

 

And now, there's an opportunity to vote for this man named John McCain who is one heartbeat away from giving his presidency to a woman who has no tact, no cultural appreciation, no open-mindedness (she embarasses me as an American); a man who is so bent on the old ways; a man who has such a high temper that future wars could start and unnecessary laws could be passed because of him; a man who can only brag about his prisoner-of-war story, thinking that because he went to war, he was "doing something for his country,"; a man who stupidly defines making $2 million a year a "middle-class" citizen; a man who would rather care about the will the mighty versus the hope for the general public; a man who believed in the values, decisions, and choices of Geroge W. Bush 90% of the time; etc. And I can go on and on and on...

 

But I will say this directly and honestly: Anyone voting for John McCain is making a consciously stupid decision.

Sophan i cant agree with you more ; They are not stupid but there decsion to vote for John McCain is STUPID

The funniest thing is the majority of people who are pro-life are also pro-death penalty. A life is a life and it isn't up to any human being to decide when another human being should die, in my opinion. I'm pro-life and anti-death penalty.

Let me just start off by saying that I'm completely pro-choice, but I think the people who have the 'pro-life/pro-death penalty' opinion hold the argument that the person being sentenced to death commited an act sufficient enough to justify being given the punishment in the first place, whereas an aborted child hasn't.

 

This thread is going a little off track don't you think?

 

Anyway, I really do hope Obama wins. I won't pretend to know everything about both candidates, but all I do know is that voting McCain in means voting Sarah Palin in too, and she is the woman who has taken most of my interest. Not in a good way might I add! This is already turning into a bit of a rant so I won't go on about why I think she is such a nasty piece of work, I'm just hoping all my American friends on here do me a favour and keep her away from The White House!

 

Happy voting!

I'm anti-death penalty too. I think that murderers should be locked up forever, no second chances- but to kill them is to do the very same thing that they did. Besides, they'll probably suffer more rotting away in prison than they would if they're dead. So I'm pro-life, anti-death penalty, anti-hunting LOL. I don't support any particular candidate or political party. I just think- don't kill stuff. I'll leave now and let you get back on topic.

The Swamp

Obama leads McCain by 11 points: Gallup

 

 

by Frank James

 

Gallup has completed it pre-election polling and all indications are that enough voters support Sen. Barack Obama to make him the next president of the U.S.

 

Here's an excerpt from Gallup's report, based its final Gallup/USA Today tracking poll before Election Day:

 

PRINCETON, NJ -- The final Gallup 2008 pre-election poll -- based on Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Gallup Poll Daily tracking -- shows Barack Obama with a 53% to 42% advantage over John McCain among likely voters. When undecided voters are allocated proportionately to the two candidates to better approximate the actual vote, the estimate becomes 55% for Obama to 44% for McCain.

 

The trend data clearly show Obama ending the campaign with an upward movement in support, with eight to 11 percentage point leads among likely voters in Gallup's last four reports of data extending back to Oct. 28. Obama's final leads among both registered voters and likely voters are the largest of the campaign...

 

...It would take an improbable last minute shift in voter preferences or a huge Republican advantage in Election Day turnout for McCain to improve enough upon his predicted share of the vote in Gallup's traditional likely voter model to overcome his deficit to Obama.

 

If Gallup is wrong this would be the biggest polling mistake since pollsters got the Harry Truman - Thomas Dewey presidential race wrong in 1948. It would be a monumental embarrassment, to say the least. Given that, it's safe to suspect that Gallup is pretty confident about its modeling and findings.

 

It also must be said that Gallup has been very accurate in presidential cycles in the modern era, even in close races like 2000. So there's a track record which should make Obama supporters very confident and McCain backers fairly discouraged.

The sad thing is that in a lot of cases you couldn't be further away from the truth. I don't know what the prison system is like in Australia, but here in America going to prison is almost, for some, like getting away scott free. There are people who go out of their way to get thrown in jail because it means they will be taken care of. Free rent, free food, free gym usage, free this, free that. Most of it being paid via Americans' tax dollars. Now, if the jail cells were completely bare, a piece of wood, a blanket, and the prisoners fed just enough to live I'd be all for it. But a lot of them get way too many privleges us people who have worked HARD to get by don't get. It's VERY aggrivating.

There are many people in America who make less money than the money that is used to fund the resources of each American prisoner. I heard it was anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000 of tax dollars used to pay for each prisoner. And I think based on my reading a while ago, there are well over 1 million prisoners in American prisons.

Tomarrow is the day!!

[manilou]

It's gettin closer.

 

Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina could go to McCain and ´he could even win Pennsilvania and thus the presidency. I'm really anxious. I'll stay up tomorrow night to watch CNN. I hope it will be clear who the winner is, when I have to go to school in the morning.

Grace in your avatar wouldn't like that though. I just watched an episode where she said she's a DEMOCRAT

Sadly, reasons like Allana's represent too many americans. It makes me ashamed.

[Céline's Blues]

I still think McCain can pull it off when the young voters won't go out and vote.

I expect him to win, any other outcome would be a surprise to me.

[Céline's Blues]

Especially when you read very liberal news sources and how they are making Obama already having won the lekshun. 5 point lead is nothing these days. Unfortunately.

 

And I'm not for any conspiracy theory - polls are polls and the reality is the reality. Two different things.

Thanks for sharing your opinion Alanna! It's nice that we live in a country where we have free speech and people are able to have their opinions! I know that you are pro-life and I totally respect that. I have been in the past, but I am wavering on that a little bit. I think it's a very fine line, but in the long run I don't feel that I have the ability to judge somebody who was raped or a victim of incest. It's not my decision to make. That's the very reason why I will be voting for Obama tomorrow. The Iraq war is one of the most important things to me. I think it's gone on WAY TOO long and we seem to have accomplished nothing. I can't support a man (that man being McCain) who is willing to spend our money, spend our troops, spend innocent lives on this war until Al Queda (?sp) is out of Iraq (that is exactly what he says on his website. If he is the next president we WILL be in Iraq, in the war until al queda is GONE...now to that is an impossible task that could never happen). That doesn't make sense to me. We have SOOOOOOOOOO much going on at home. We can't run our own dam country, so obviously we shouldn't be trying to run another. This is just my 2 cents. Everybody needs to get out and vote tomorrow, regardless of who you vote for. It's your duty as an American citizen!!!!

 

btw, this is freaking hilarious...a prank call to Sarah Palin from a radio station in Montreal!!! Oh Canada we love you!!!!
