Title: Mock American Presidential Election - 2008
Post by: schfifty on October 25, 2008, 11:30:38 pm
With the American election coming up in 10 Days, I thought it would be cool to see who Argonath thinks the new president should be. This poll will last for 3 days from this post.

Click here to see which candidate matches you! *NEW TEST* (http://www.vajoe.com/candidate_calculator.html)

Please, do NOT flame, and try to keep the debating to a minimum. Topics like this are usually a breeding ground for Flamefests and Hate but I think that we all should handle this one responsibly. I do reccomend taking the above quiz to see which candidate you would like most.


THE POLLS ARE NOW OPEN!

RON PAUL

But I don't think he's running any more, so Barack Obama seems like the next best thing.

Ron Paul was actually running as a Republican (the party McCain is in) but they say he was really close to being a Democrat (the party Obama is in)

Some funny lyrics:

Yes, I am a firm believer of some hardcore jungle fever. He's my boy, I am his girl, hellz yeah we're both down with the swirl! We may have differed on Iraq, but no one's stiffer in the sack. I can't lie - that's why I wanna be under Barack Obama, bama, bama, ay, ay, ay, under Barack Obama, bama, bama, bama, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.

Ron Paul stood for the ideals of the Republican Party of Yesteryear and believed sternly in the constitution aswell as minimum Government Control, He lost the Republican primary. ( He also didn't mind on legalizing Marijuana, and had a record amount of Myspace friends/supporters )

If you dont know much about him, take the test :)

We should strongly encourage people to take the test, or atleast really know who they want if they vote.

I knew that I favour Obama, but the candidate selector just confirmed.

Barack Obama (Democrat)
63.46% match

Ralph Nader (Independant) - 57.69%
John McCain (Republican) - 50.00%
Cynthia McKinney (Green Party) - 47.44%
Bob Barr (Libertarian) - 45.51%
Chuck Baldwin (Constitution) - 32.05%

Obama has a lead in the opinion polls, so I think its likely he will win.

He's closer to what older republicans were like, not like they are now.

Definetly not McCain, I do not believe in his ridiculous oldschool way of acting. He agrees on too many points with Bush that I think he'd be a very very bad choice for America - if you want no change and if you want to continue like it is - McCain is the choice.

Obama though seems to have alot suggestions on how to change things to the better, he might make the taxes a lil' bit higher but that'd be for the people. It's just those stupid rednecks who think too much for themselfs than for their environment who votes for McCain. Besides, McCain is old, what if he dies/gets sick and Sarah Palin have to take it over - crap crap crap.

As you clearly see in the poll most of us just wants Obama to win - most of us who voted in this poll is from Europe. It's interesting indeed, I'm sure Obama will win anyways, he've got a majority of the elector points and I'm sure it'll tip over to become even more.

Your Results
You planned to vote for Undecided. Based on your responses, your top candidate for 2008 is below.

Your Top Match
John McCain (Republican)
63.64% match


You are number 200,530 to use the Candidate Calculator.
 


Ehh honostly undecided, I mean on republican part McCains a bit old and as some said a little too "oldschool" way of running things and if Palin becomes President if McCain isn't there I'll shoot myself. For Obama though, I mean idk how true the whole "oh he has terrorist friends, doesn't put his hand over his heart for the Anthem, in-experienced" thing is, but he definitley knows how to talk.
