Who do you THINK will win the Presidential vote & why?? Not who you want but who you think ?

Question

i'm not too sure myself but if I'd have to choose who I think would win I'd have to choose Obama

Answer 1

  Before the Palin pick I would have said Obama, but now I think that McCain will win because by him choosing Palin for VP he essentially did two vary important things. 1. One he sured up and excited the conservative vote who will now rally behind McCain. This is vary important in order to win an election.

2. He will now attract (independent) women voters who were waiting to see if John McCain was indeed a maverick or if he was going to play by party lines by picking Romney.

3. He will also pull in a certain number of Hilary voters that felt Obama screwed them over and want to see their candidate run in 2012. If Obama won this time there would be no chance of that.

Obama had the momentum going into the Republican convention, well, definitely not anymore my friends. :) Well played Sen. McCain!

Answer 2

I think Obama will edge out a slight victory.  I think many people are growing weary of the republican party and the direction that George Bush steered it to (far away from a Reagan style conservativism) and McCain has recently moved away from being a Maverick to being more in sync with Big Government George Bush, except on a few issues (energy, global warming, and foreign policy).

I'd really be surprised if the democrats didn't win the White House even though there is dissent and party fracture among them.

It is unfortunate, but Republican control for 6 years has shown  that they favor a big government while being fiscally irresponsible with the tax payer's dollars.

I really don't want to see Obama in the White House, but I believe that the Republican Camp during the Bush administration made this possibility very feasible.

Answer 3

I think Obama will. Because when it comes down to it and on election day maybe everybody will remember what the last repulican did to our country and vote for Obama in hope of change. And if this happens I will be pretty dang happy.

Go Obama!

Answer 4

Okay...Obama is white...would he be where he is today? Be honest please...

Answer 5

I still think Obama, but only barely at this point, and I wouldn't put money on it.

Answer 6

McCain if the majority that voted for Bush/pain.

Obama if they want to take a risk like McCain did.

and Palin if McCain doesn't make it.

Answer 7

Until it was announced that Palin would be his vice President I was unsure.

But now I'm certain it will Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.

Answer 8

I Think McCain/Palin will win this year.

Answer 9

McCain will win...Obama is NOT a natural born citizen, and will not prove otherwise:

Answer 10

I have hope the McCain/Palin will win, but it is too early to tell.  I hope that people will look beyond Obama's speeches and look at policy and records.  If you take away Obama's speeches, there isn't much left and while speeches are nice, if you put TOO much weight in them you miss the fact that you would be hard pressed to find even ONE thing he said in his speeches that was new.  Every president from Carter to present has been promising in speeches to get us off foreign oil.  So, for that I look at whose energy policy is more multifaceted and flexible and the answer I come up with is John McCain. Palin has experience with energy and I agree with her viewpoints on it.  Do I believe that either pair will be able to get us off of foreign oil?  No, but I will look at who has the best, most realistic plans.

McCain has a superior energy policy.  We need to leave every avenue open to secure our energy supply while at the same time developing alternative energy and changing our multi-trillion dollar infastructure.  McCain's energy policy has the gimmicky gas holiday (which won't do anything), but overall I feel that he is leaving all options open so I will support him.  

McCain will - Expand domestic oil exploration, work to lift restrictions on drilling.  It is estimated that the Outer Continental Shelf alone contains 77 trillion cubic feet of recoverable natural gas.

McCain has the clean car challenge (you can read more about on his webpage) and the incentive to improve battery technology for full commercial development of plug-in hybrid and fully electric automobiles.

McCain makes the VERY important disctinction between ineffective forms of ethanol E85/corn and the more promising cellulosic ethanol, which won't compete with food crops.

McCain supports clean coal technology.

McCain plans to build 45 new nuclear power plants by 2030 with the ultimate goal of eventually constructing 100 new plants.  Nuclear energy will provide 700,000 new jobs.

McCain also beieves in even handed tax credits for alternative, low carbon energy - wind, solar, hydro ...

Answer 11

Obama, hands down.

The American people aren't stupid.

Answer 12

I see a replay of 2000

With McCain winning because all the best liars, cheaters and thieves...church goers...will think they have yet another shot at killing row V. wade

Answer 13

McCain will win.

He will win because of the stupidity of the Democrat party.

They all think he will lose because everybody is sick of Bush, but that is what they thought in 2004 .... when they picked another crappy candidate.

Two ultra-liberals on the same ticket is not going to fly with America ... especially with McCain's choice of a VP.

We Democrat moderates will vote for the moderate McCain to avoid the ultra-liberal ticket this year.

Answer 14

I do believe that Obama will win. I sometimes feel nervous about his prospects, considering the studied ignorance of most American Christians, but I think he's gonna beat that. He's just that good.

Answer 15

diebold machines will have the "fix" in so our vote means nothing!! the elite rich wont let go of this nation till it's carved up and looted dry....USA you are so naive....

Answer 16

since he can't speak without a script or teleprompter (Philadelphia debate, etc,..) I think he will implode in debates with McCain and it will be over for him.

McCain will win.

Answer 17

I think the true Obama is going to come out during the debates and it's going to be over for him. McCain will win.  

Answer 18

OMG, did that (Jackbauerthe2nd) say Obama is NOT a natural born citizen?...  Since when is being born in Hawaii which is a STATE of the USA, not being a Natural Born Citizen?....... You folks are so UnREAL this is y McCain does not stand a chance to win anything.

John McCain was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone.

Barack Hussein Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Now who is NOT the natural born citizen?...........

OBAMA\BIDEN will clearly be in the white house.  He will WIN this election.  

McCain doesn't stand a chance now, and after the debates America will really see who the clear winner is.  He (McCain) can't talk about anything that is not written for him.  I'm hoping that one of the debates will be free form, but seeing that McCain is just a puppet, I don't think that will happen, he's going to need to rehearse the questions before he gets on a stage.  LOL......
