yay! election day is TODAY! (too bad i can't vote though) if i COULD...obama! yeah, everyone else is rooting for him, but that doesn't mean the win will be by a long shot. mccain and obama are quite evenly matched, obama leading though. but one thing i wanna know is why everyone calls the candidates for every election by their last name. bullies adress people by their last name at my school, people should adress others by their first name as a sign of respect, wtf?

this post took me an extremely long time to write, so please, be considerate and respond thoughtfully.

To follow along in the next paragraph, here's a link I found on the electoral college voting system, it's proven to be extremely helpful and fun to experiment with

http://www.270towin.com/

apparently, mccain has the votes a lot of the mid west and central states, but not all of them. The actual population in those states (which determines that's states voting power) is low by comparison to the east and west coast. obama on the other hand has the northern east coast, west coast, northern Midwest, and Colorado and new mexico. the majority of the voters are seem to be in obama's favor here. so while obama's few states (he's been getting more) are strong in population, mccain's many states (decreasing in number) outnumber obama but are fewer in voters. Of course, a candidate only needs 270 ellectoral votes to win the campaign, and obama has a remarkable 286 votes. Mccain on the other hand has 157, which at this point in the race is a huge problem.
I'm sure any respectable RTS gamer can easily understand the meaning of that :D.
Perhaps if mccains whistle in his voice hadn't reminded voters so much of Herbert, the old pedifile who loves chris in family guy, they would look more likely to him.

i threw this video in for fun, thought you guys might enjoy it.

ok, back to being serious

IF ANYONE ASKS WHY I'M SO SERIOUS, you won't get a cookie, you'll get a BACKHAND! SMACK!!!

now everyone's aware of the current economic crisis, the economy has been in the worse shape it's ever been since the great depression during 1929-1933 (1933, thats when hitler became the dictator of germany, connection?...no, i'm just kidding) so with wallstreet in distress, both candidates propose economic plans to fix the crisis.....

mccain-mccains proposal is a 52 billion $ plan with new tax cuts on capital gains, tax breaks for seniors, and white offs for stock losses.

obama- obama's proposal is a 60 billion $ plan in tax cuts for middle income and lower income people, more tax breaks to create jobs, and new spending for public work projects to create jobs.

We can see here that obama wants to spend more money on his plan, which many people might get concerned about, but they have to consider where that money's going to. Mccain in a way doesn't acknowledge those who are critically affected by the mortage crisis as much as those who aren't. On the other hand, his straight-forward attitude wants him to take on the problem straight at the source. Now of course, this is a strategic planned out take on the problem, a way that sounds very descent and understandable, but has it's negative effects. Obama on the other hand has come up with a plan the eliminates the negative effects brought out in mccains plan and it gives the American people what they've been wanting.

Here's the third and last presidential debate, where in the first 10 minutes they talk about their economic plans.

No as to why more people like obama than mccain, first, if you watched the SNL presidential bash '08 last night, it's clear that the relationship between mccain and bush doesn't look very good at all on mccain. Not only that, mccains honesty thing goes a bit too far, mccain tells people what he really thinks. Now what one person thinks is their opinion, which might be different from another person. Unfortunately, mccain want another person to vote for him, but with the way mccain's been talking, that other person might not vote for him.

As for obama, he really shows he has great people skills here. He tells people what they want to hear, like tax cuts for everyone (middle and lower income people) and he really connects with the voters. Notice how mccain treats everyone like he would treat himself. Now some people don't want to get treated like a senior citizen. Obama recognizes what people want, and he tells them what he's gonna do for them.

Well, that's all for my useless ranting, I'm just glad to get that out there.

COBRA COMMANDER FOR PRESIDENT!!!! COBRAAAA LA LA LA LA LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
