Experience schmexperience... How much is enough experience? Is 25 years enough? 30? 40? 50?
Too much cynicism in this world.

For President of the United States, I'd say "more than four" for sure.

I think it can go either way.
McCain or Obama one of them will win. Personally, I think McCain sold himself out in his race against Obama. He should have stayed true to himself, win or lose he should have maintained his principles.

Remember, there's an insider running too.
GWB will rant his way into a third term...
The country is in too much trouble to put it in the hands of a Democrat... (Sarcastically commenting GWB's thoughts).
So make the poll include Bush jr...
.
Oops, you already did...

Cause as far as I know the republicans haven't started any pointless, money wasting, universal wars yet. 4 more years of republicans and soon we'll be hearing about weapons of mass destruction on Mars

I don't believe that this has been taken into account by the pundits...at least, I haven't heard any discussion on the subject what will take place in the privacy of the voting booth.
One of the BIG problems in this election though, is that a vast number of people will vote for him only because he's black. They don't care what his policies are...just that he's a popular black guy.

The big electors will pick McCain...
Just like they picked GWB 4 years ago...
They might end up like last time, the popular vote was won by Dole, but GWB became president...

Bizzare enough, some Democrats won't vote for him because he's black. Some people didn't vote for Gore because Lieberman is Jewish..

The question really becomes how have the grey haired , white men presidents done compared to a black men?
Another question is how could anyone do worse than the lying, lyars, war mongering, murdering , criminal type Republicans?

Our poll shows Obama will win by a landslide. Now that there are but two days left, do we all still believe Obama will win?

I don't plan on watching the results on TV, I will either catch the results on the internet or in the paper.

Nope, paper is not banned. I think you meant the paper was on strike. That was resolved last week. Or perhaps you meant the National Post paper was no longer available in Winnipeg. That would be correct.

It's 8:18PM and it looks like Obama is kicking ass. Times will be most interesting now for the next few months. The stock market tomorrow will tell us what the world thinks. I predict a sharp increase...
Any other predictions?
