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?!?

I agree with all of the above. Also that people still think that "Obama is still Islam and we will all be killed if he is elected because he hates us all." I heard that this weekend and ignoring the fact that it would be Muslim instead of Islam.
This election has really brought up my concerns for the intelligence of people and how much they actually trust everything they hear.

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.

Just as I suspected...several people in my office who are already bitching aren't planning on voting.

I REALLY dislike those people....


I wouldnt put too much faith in exit polls. Time and again they have been wrong (2004 is a good example).

My concern is that we have to choose between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich...

I'm tired of all the emails I've been getting from Republicans saying that according to the Book of Revelations, Obama's the Antichrist; that if he wins, he will be the most ungodly president ever; that he went to Afghanistan to visit the troops then ignored them because to him it was only a photo shoot; that he's a Mulsim terrorist; and all the other crap they've been spreading....do they really believe all that?
