Debate on Tuesday...who are you supporting? John McCain or Barack Obama?

neither. Average campaign costs are about $500,000,000.00, those funds are for tv campaigns, ads, and other junk...where do they get their money...from corporations, lobbyists...etc...although most presidential candidates do this and they run on the rich man's agenda, both these guys have extreme holes to their policies and actions, neither is the best choice. A democratic system that really only allows two candidates...well, we don't get much to choose from, the popular vote doesn't count anyways, the write ins don't count as well, you have to belong to one party or another...so i'm supporting neither but it will be fun to watch
 
I dont like either one of them, but the idea of 4-8 more years of these policies terrifies me.
I am voting for Obama
 
well for me I would support Barack Obama because his campaign is for all the peoples welfare
 
Heh, do you think Obama can go an entire debate without starting every answer with "I agree with McCain"? Really, I've lost interest, neither of the people likely to win deserve the position.
 
can I have another choice?



The best candidates special interest money can buy or "Who Owns Whom?"

McCain, for sure. He will prevail. And I can't wait for scandalous questions. McCain can handle them. Can Obama? I don't think so!

Under no circumstance could Obama get a government clearance in the public sector.
