So what are people's opinions about the worthyness of the Election? Is it going to be a sham? Is it worth voting? Will the courts decide on your President again? Or will it all turn out right, despite the disenfranchisement, despite DieBold and the like? And lets have a few bets on who's gonna win eh?

Personally I think the election will be a joke, with huge misrepresentation, disenfranchisement, claims of irregularities, and worst of all, I think that Dubya will win.

I'm voting - on principle, not because I think that it will matter much. Regardless of who wins - they're both a couple of turds and while I don't want to sound like a cynic - I don't think that one will make a better president than the other.

I just hope whomever wins loses power in Congress so that the worst of their ideas go nowhere.

I hope I get enough write-ins so that my campain costs are refunded.

You mean like Clinton?

 

[Slugman]

It's going to be really annoying when they announce that Bush won again...

I'm voting so that we can have a non-majority elected president... again.

I like it when the guy who lost the popular vote gets the job.

Clinton and others. It is not uncomon for a pres to lose a majority in mid term elections. Clinton actually gained the majority for his last two years. Reagan dealt with a Democrate majority in the house. Since a two party system tends to put a pres who is either left or right of center in power it is a nice check to make them compromise with Congress.

Does anyone else find it at all wierd that for the last few months, all your polls end up coming out pretty much exactly 50/50? I just find it unlikely that in reality exactly 50% of Americans want one thing and 50% want another?

I havent seen such a pole.

Most states are either one way or the other by quite a margin. The tossups are close, but not 50/50. Lay off the conspiracy Kool Aid for a minute, eh?

Yeah, Changleen you were WAY off.

[Changleen]

Yeah, I know.

In the battleground state polls, only in two places did a survey indicate a lead outside the margin of error.

One either way, suprise....

Burly, I'm saying it's a conspiricy ffs, it's just wierd.

Ohh, I know, maybe in reality 76.4% are voting Kerry, but the republicans control the media and the votes and are bringing it back down to 50/50? After all only idiots and religious freaks are voting for Bush, and even in America, that isn't 50% There, is that better?

 

[Changleen]

Wow - Check this out:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,137273,00.html

FOX NEWS of all people is reporting Kerry with a slight lead. This, however Burly, IS a political move on their point to mobilise their overwhelmingly Republican audience to go vote.

Stage is set for potential confusion at polls
High turnout, new law, close election could be volatile mix

The final weeks of a bitterly fought presidential campaign have witnessed a flurry of last-minute judicial rulings, missing absentee ballots and allegations of fraud. But that is just a hint of what may be in store Tuesday, when voters are expected to turn out in record numbers to cast ballots in the most highly charged election in a generation.

More than 20,000 lawyers from both parties and thousands of independent observers will be at or near polling places on Election Day, especially in closely contested battleground states. They will be watching for potential problems and trying to guard against a repeat of the confusion that marred voting in Florida and other states four years ago.

The article then goes on to detail the various problems that may occur tomorrow.

Wow, 20,000 lawyers! Who is paying for that sh1t?

This is pretty interesting... All the polls I have heard of via numerous finnish news sources idicate that Bush has a slight lead. And no it is not an European "liberal" press conspiracy or whatever. I just checked the lates figures by Reuters: Bush 48% Kerry 47%. Makes you think, doesn't it? Maby Changleen is right, but who knows?

Having 20,000 lawyers involved in ANYTHING is a recipe for disaster.

Hey, I thought the liberal, money-grubbing Jews controlled the media.

Lay off the crack.
