Dont let polls that make Obamas victory look definate keep you home on election day. Misleading stats such as a 99% win chance that has been floating around are based entirely off of phone polls! Remember the republicans will be voting in record numbers because of how behind they are, if Democratic voters are too cocky this election will be lost to another 4 years of economic mismanagement by the Republican party. Today I read in a newspaper that a poll of Calgarians showed a 4 to 1 support for Obama over McCain, how can this be? Calgary is the Conservative epicenter for Canada, Stephen Harpers riding is like a block from my house! However the free world agrees that Obama is the right pick, our only concern towards the election really is the economy. It affects us all, and the reason the entire world prefers Obama over McCain is simple, we know McCain's platform will cause the world economy to keep falling. Regardless of my opinion though, go vote. Even if you are voting McCain, lets not have the most important election of our generation be decided by less than the majority of the population due to apathy. Your vote matters! From all of us who cant vote but care so much that the United States recovers from this recession, please vote! At very least even if the Republicans win, I want to feel that the election wasnt lost to laziness. Especially this crowd, which is young and influential, you guys are the big stakeholders here. The long term is paved by decisions made years ago, finally the last 8 years have caught up to you, It's time to have a president who can restore things to how they were a decade ago under Clinton. We need prosperity! We dont need tax cuts for the top 2%, so make your voice heard and get out and vote!

ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A SWING STATE!

Lol, never knew Dan was so serious about politics, but good to see someone is spreading the word!!!! GO VOTE

I voted 6 A.M in the morning. Lines were very long but I managed to wait. This might go down in history as the best clash of Republicans Vs. Democrats, but its much more than that my friends. Trilho, this is about our next leader not a computer operated game.

Sure Troy, sure...Also, it's not 'ours'. It's not mines nor Dan's. Get that straight.

Barack is going to win considering the fact that most of the voters believe what he says in his crap called an "Infomercial" and believes he can "Change" our economy. They don't know the actual issues rather than looking at his speeches and skin color. If John McCain was black it would be a landslide between them. ALSO, The Next Freaken Person Who Knocks On My Door Telling Me To Vote For Obama I'm Going To Get My Sniper And Blow Their Heads Off!!!! Also nice views of it Masterdan.

Given your publicly stated stances, you are describing yourself quite accurately.

They do not know what of a crisis we are in. I am ashamed of my whole state of being a racist. Well I have proven my hypothesis of why do they vote by Obama by making a local poll around my city/province. Asked my friends, family, and even my whole school. The outcome of it was plain and simple to see, they are not politics. They try to sound smart and sounds ignorant rather than stating the truth and nothing but it. They have no idea who Barack is, actually they don't know any of the canidates. They know that McCain is white and so is George Bush, they know voting for Barack is a vote for "African Americans" and will be the first. My state is arogant and knows nothing as far as I view.

What was the hypothesis? What evidence do you have backing your hypothesis? What were the poll results? Where are the results published?

Please, save everyone's time. And by the way, it should be the OUTCOME, not income. Try using proper English when doing a scientific study, I had a hard time deciphering what exactly you were trying to say.

I have answered all your questions before but again. The hypothesis was that most people voted for Obama because of his race. Evidence? There is no evidence unless you live by me. Most people don't know what they are talking about leading to politics. Otherwise, any more questions? And by the way for future referance this is not anything scientific. A hypothesis doesn't always lead to science, it is an educated guess.

The problem, is that you are not posting an educated guess, you are posting a retarded guess, and are trying to play it off as educated.

So, there is no evidence. A hypothesis is not just an "educated guess" it has to have some substance, and is based on collected preliminary data, usually in the form of observations. And yes, it is science. Understand that the study of a culture(which is what you were supposedly doing) is a branch of science. Don't go around saying you've made this political analysis without evidence. No, you haven't shown any data relevant to the role race has on a person's vote.

To attack your educated guess, did it ever occur to you that they're all Democrats? They may not care about race, but rather political party. It more than likely has very little to do with race. most African American Republicans are voting for McCain. Also, most Caucasian Democrats are voting for Obama. Race has little, if any role on the outcome. So don't waste everyone's time with the race card.

Disturbed, it makes little sense to argue with him. Chances are he is not eligible to vote, and even if he was, if he honestly believes that people are only voting for Obama due to race, then its going to be really hard to change his mind.

I'm not arguing with him, I'm just pointing out to everyone else that he isn't credible, and shouldn't be listened to.

Ah, keep fighting the good fight then.

@Rasengan3oo4

Obama doesn't have any electoral votes, and neither does McCain. A state's electoral votes are awarded when all the ballets have been tallied, and a winner decided. We wont really have a good idea of who won what until early in the morning tomorrow.

Also, Is Troy a troll or just plain stupid?
