Palin - Your gonna love this site

[-Z-]

to me palin was at whole a wrong candiidate, esp. if you want her to go up against Obama. i've heard she is a big power abuser.


what america needs is a new direction and tbh maccain is not the person, so all you have left is Obama, luve it or hate America needs to revamp its image, so something dramatic needs to happen and Obama in my view would fit that, its not that if he is gonna be a good leader or anytihng but to show the world they are changing

i alos ibeleive Obama;s running mate makes up where Obama lacks palin does not.

Clearly Palin was a Last ditch effort.

in all she had made a mock of her self by representing as a avr. joe , she makes more teh average joes. was listening to cbc radio on my way back, where she spends like 175$ for clothes where i heard the avr. salary is around 40-60k , not that is a joke

the money didnt come out of her pocket...all those joe six packs, and hocky mom who donated money to the reps bought those close. Money well spent i guess....NOT!

Palin did give the Republicans a big boost at the convention. and in the 1-2 weeks after.

If she was announced as running mate just 2 weeks prior to the election, the Reps might have a chance do to the shock...

but as I see it we are running @ 60% Dem 40%Rep (excluding the undecideds, and IND)

So really the race is over.

But I will be interested in watching :-)

You realize that Obama could get 100% of the popular vote and not be elected president right?

...

no. explain to me how this is possible...

I have a full understanding of the difference between popular vote, and the electoral vote.

now please explain how Obama can get 100% (or anything over 80%) and not be Elected.

Because electoral votes are not based on the popular vote.

Quite simple.

Electoral votes are the same votes as popular votes bud.

its a matter of how they are counted.



Any President would need at least 30-40% of the popular vote (if not more, i'm not exactly sure on the #'s)

No one can get 10% of the popular vote and be prez.

thats the most ridiculas thing I have every heard.

Do some research. Electors do not have to vote for whoever wins the popular vote in a state. Ther are laws in only like have the states where a faithless elector is punished and there are only a handful of states that have laws that can change the vote of a faithless elector.

Just because it has never happened does not mean it is ridiculous.

Btw, the electors votes are counted by however many electors vote for which candidate .
