*2008 Presidential Thread* McCain vs Obama *Poll*
-
With all the youngsters on this forum, I'm really surprised McCain did as well as he did in the poll. Here is a vid I found that I thought was very enlightening.... ah, the good ole days.

Why does McCain have to be the other choice... -

North Dakota youngsters though, I'm surprised Obama did so well in the poll.You mean the fact that he had more people vote for him in the ND primary than the entire republican party had vote for anyone at their primary?

I realize this but we're still the same state where Bush defeated Kerry by 90,000 votes, Bush defeated Gore by 80,000 votes, Dole defeated Clinton by like 20,000 (all big numbers considering our population) and so on and so on since Lyndon Johnson. -
and in the us too.

willing to make a small wager there gsr? Say $5....nothing big, but just something to keep it semi-interesting?

Kinda shocked when I checked this the other day, as McCain had a substantial lead a few weeks ago.
-
as for obama having more votes.. remember the democrats' caucus was open for most of the day, versus the fifteen minutes or so that the republicans had. Time does factor in to the number of people who were able to show up and have their say. (still, shocking numbers of people on both sides!)
a bit of exaggeration on the amount of time, yes. wasn't it like six or eight hours for democrats, versus 1.5 to two hours for republicans?

I'll also put $5 on it.

Ok...Dave and GSR, I'll take your bets. Hopefully when I win I will still be able to buy a gallon of gas with the $10 I'll have in my pocket at that time...
FWIW, I am not looking to make any additional bets...just doing this for fun with people I consider good friends. -
So Dave and GSR say McCain will be president and jamz says Obama, with the winner(s) receiving $10 or $5? Just want to be clear....
-
Correct.
-
or...when Obama wins, I get a total of $10...
you know 5+5=10...right?
