Anyone who voted for Harper should not be allowed to state their opinion ever.
Yep. Personally I'm hoping Ignatieff gets the Liberal leadership... they need a right leaning leader to take back the centre/right leaning voters, rather than trying to compete with the NDP/Green for the left wing vote.

Amazing you don't realize how terrible a criteria that is for a) picking a president and b) being proud about it.

No one seems at all worried that Obama has little experience and just received the presidency of the only Superpower remaining in the world, inheriting two ongoing wars and the worst economic crisis since the 1930s.

But hey, he's black so he deserves it!
Congratulations for completely ignoring everything I said, the argument that preceded it, and being Pan.

Really. Nobody else here can do that.

I'd rather Obama/Biden running your country than McCain/Palin. I don't care how little experience Obama has, Palin has less.

I don't understand why you would throw away your right to vote... It's important to vote, even if you feel it won't affect the overall results.
uhhh... I meant I voted for Nader.

I can't believe prop 8 passed. :(

Well, good thing McCain would of been running the country, not Palin...That's another thing that pisses me off. There's more people than you'd ever believe that didn't vote for McCain just because they didn't want Palin in.

mike:
mccain's fucking old. obama is a target of racism and even though the "assassination attempt" they foiled against him was obviously not gonna happen, it's a very real possibility that both mccain and obama would not fill out their full terms. that's why the vps played such a role. also the vp nominations say a huge deal about the way the candidates would have governed. obama chose someone who's outspoken and who wouldn't be afraid to challenge him and offer him constructive feedback. mccain chose someone who would pump up the religious right because mccain's seeming lack of religious conviction doesn't appeal to most people who have voted republican in the past. I don't vote that way, but lots of people do. frankly, I think a mccain lieberman ticket would have been more historically important than the first woman vp

and seriously, how much experience do you need to be president? how would any of mccain's legislative experience have translated to an executive seat? or is it just that he's been in washington for longer and knows how it works? and if that's the case do we really need someone who knows how washington works or do we need someone who knows what people want and how to get it for them? bottom line people vote on their impression of the candidate and how they think they would govern more so than their policies and obama ran his campaign with an extremely steady hand, using all his available resources and staying completely cool despite some of the most disgusting negative campaigning ever. shit, palin had more executive experience than both mccain and obama, but it doesn't fucking matter

John McCain is fucking old and Palin is downright scary. Both of my uncles who are REALLY hardcore republicans didn't think she had what it takes to get the job of the presidency done.

A couple examples of her incompetence.
1) Couldn't name 1 supreme court case when asked
2) She thought Africa was one giant country and not a continent with countries in it.
3) Her idea of "foreign policy experience" is that she can see "Russia from Alaska".
4) Could not name one country involved in NAFTA.

So they voted against McCain also.

Because they don't have a filibuster proof senate majority it's not a free ride. I feel like they'll have their chance to attempt to fulfill some of Obama's campaign promises, and if they don't get approval from the citizens on what they do, the balance of power will likely change in the next congressional/senatorial elections, respectively.

There is a difference between running a country, then running a state you know. Palin probably runs Alaska, the backwater state pretty well. Personally, I don't think she was ready for the larger picture, not by a long shot. McCain obviously was.
