What concerns you about Election 2008?

I'm concerned that I just had a conversation with someone who couldn't remember Bin Laden's name.

"Ben... Bin... you know."

Notice the "To have an experianced, skilled leader" quote in the top right corner. If you're going to write something on this ridiculous piece of paper, you should probably make sure you spelled everything correctly.

But hey, at least they knew where to put the comma.

People will vote based on race, not qualifications.

My biggest concern is that Downtown where I vote there are only two voting machines, and around 10 or 12 where my parents in that small little suburbian library that serves maybe half the number of voters mine does. Seriously, I'm calling B.S. And I might even call my state board of elections. It just doesn't sit right.

THIS really concerns me. Summarized by my college roommate, but if you google search "howard stern and obama" you can hear the audio of this.

How about Howard Stern had his employee go to the streets of Harlem and ask them who they were voting for and obviously they all said Obama. He asked “are you voting for Obama because he’s black” and they all said no. Then he said “are you going to vote for obama even though he elected sarah palin to be vice president if he wins” and all 3 of them said yes the don’t have a problem with Palin being his choice for VP. And then he asked “what do you like better about Obama that he is for the troops staying in Iraq or that he’s pro life?” and they all said umm I like both or they would pick one or the other. So funny… I wonder why they are really voting for him?!?

Obviously? ("Not too surprisingly" wouldn't get the eyeroll, but "obviously"?)

And it really concerns you that three random people interviewed on the Howard Stern show were pretty much clueless? Not that I would for a second underestimate the ignorance of a large segment of the American electorate, but I do wonder how many interviews Stern's people had to do to get the three they played on air.

Shouldn't this be in news and politics?

I'm concerned that all Obama's votes are going to come up missing. Something willl happen to all the absentees, the earlies, the ones from a certain state...something.

The fact that people are still undecided right now, and will probably vote based on things like "oh he has nice teeth" or "well, that lady always wears really cute suits" or "he went to Harvard."
