ltbproductionz, at 11am on November 7, 2008 predicts:
we all know what happened by now...congrats pres obama!!!!!!!!!
Louis_Dubois, at 1pm on November 6, 2008 predicts:
I can't for the life of me understand how McCain got as many votes as he did. How could so many people be oblivious to the needs of America. God has restored his protective hand over America. Sanity and hope abound. It was a nice try by McCain, to get the ignorants thru fear and devisive politics. Shame on the republican leadership. Greedy people clinging to the status quo. NO- MORE! THE AGE OF REASON HAS ARRIVED. THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HAVE SPOKEN.
nqthai, at 4am on November 6, 2008 predicts:
I love Obama! He will to change the world
sandyspider, at 5pm on November 5, 2008 predicts:
I knew Obama would win, but I think more people should have written in Buddy Boy http://www.squidoo.com/election_dog Anyway, I hope he does right by the people.
vkingston, at 4pm on November 5, 2008 predicts:
I was certain Barack Obama would win the presidential election and I'm glad he did. President Obama has already brought change. Not only has he brought change to the United States of America, but in the world in general.

mtnmom5 says:
Yes, I think McCain and Palin have what it takes without having to stoop to lies and deceit as the 'other part' has done.
Running this country is not going to be easy for whoever gets into office, but we all know that the lofty promises, made by both parties, of 'changing everything' will not happen overnight - if ever.
Posted November 03, 2008
No, He should have chosen someone else.
bgamall says:
Down deep John McCain must be a neocon and must desire empire building just like the neocons. That can be the only reason that he would have chosen a woman who is a neocon and is a dominionist, who wants to "Christianize" the world by force. I am a Christian and I think Sarah and McCain are just plain WRONG. Wake up America!

If McCain had won, I'm afraid having Palin on his arm would have turned America into a global laughing stock!

ellupo says:
If we get Universal Health Care, it has to be thought through and not be a rush job to implement it. But what we have now is just not working. Think about it....medical care insurance providers should not be "For Profit" companies. To them every claim they have to pay means they make less profit. So it's not surprising that they try to deny as many claims as they can in order to maximize their profits. The decision on what treatment someone needs should be made by doctors and not the insurance company. For that to happen we need the health care somehow run by the goverment or the Health Care Providers have to be Non Profit

NONONO! As a cancer survivor, I've talked to women from all over the globe with socialized medicine (which is what this plan is). The medical care - when they can even get it - is FAR inferior to what we have here and an alarming number of patients DIE because the wait to see a doctor is so long...I'll definitely pass!

I thought he would win, but was nervous the last few days. It was scary to think of what would have happened otherwise
Louis_Dubois, at 1pm on November 6, 2008 predicts:
Obama will bring peace and prosperity thru well reasoned out policies. America is truly the greatest nation on earth.
America has spoken. The politics of fear and ignorance failed! Look at the people all cheering in America, as well as round the world. As far the people complaining, We brought the slaves over here because of the laziness and greed in paying the hired help. A timely outcome. The Chickens have come home to roost! Sorry about your luck. This vet loves America, because it truly is the greatest nation on earth. God Bless our new president and may he heal the devisivnes which some seek to exploit. Education is the key. The campaigne idea's of fear and ignorance does not work anymore.I hope Joe the non plumber gets his record deal. I really need to hear some yodeling about now.

What everyone fails to realize is that Bush screwed the country up so bad, no matter who wins, they will need the first 4 years just to fix his mess!!

McCain!!! Or else America will be disappointed by Obama idealistic view's and hopes. Not to mention how his communistic approach. Come on people! Use your brains! I wish I could vote 3 months shy of the election! So, anyone who is unsure please vote McCain!
McCain '08!

I don't think we should be forced to "Spread the wealth" we have worked for, I don't want the government telling me how to live. And I want someone in the White House who believes in this Country & our Military persons! You talk of change...well you will get it with McCain & Palin in a positive way!
