So who will it be fellas? It appears Bush is suddenly doing some of the things Obama has talked about a few months ago. MCCAIN just had Phil Gram resign for some lame comments. But who will reside in the White House the next four years.
Can't wait for the debates and the disclosure of their running mates. The political season rush is about to hit big time levels this fall. It'll be really interesting.

I think that you will see the largest voter turnout in history to be honest. The race thing is just gonna kick in. Everyone and their grandma is gonna be at the polls that day. That could very well be a good thing, but also a bad thing. It's gonna be really interesting to say the least.

I think that it will be a close race but I think that Obama might pull it out. This is not my choice of course but I think that the general consesus is that people are tired of the conflict in Iraq, high gas prices, an ailing economy and the weakening US dollar.

Smart money is on Obama. Repubs are begging to lose by picking McCain.

The Republican Party has lost its soul. There's a reason conservatives are up in arms about the party and McCain. I'm not just talking about the religious conservatives.
