I'm voting for Obama because McCain would just jack up fuel prices more, making me cost more, making people eat less of me. Somebody tried to send a me with a gay stripper inside to McCain but they didn't know what house to send it to, so I just went to Larry Craig instead.

You know, I was about to ask why you though McCain would jack up fuel prices more, but then I said, what the hell is wrong with me that I would try to have a political discussion with a cake?

Normally, who the VP candidate is has no bearing on how I vote. Unless a President dies in office, (or shoots a staff member) we don't hear about them much and they don't have much of a role in anything until they run for President at the end of the President's two terms (or unless they are Cheney). However, this year, given McCain's age and Obama's security issues (needing secret service coverage earlier than any other candidate... almost as soon as he started running) I'd say there's a good chance the VP this time could end up President.

I'd be curious to see numbers on how influenced voters really are by the VP candidate.

Honestly, talking to my friends and family that are still on the undecided/independent side of things - they say that after the last eight years, the VEEP candidate matters a lot. Or at least a lot more than it has in the past.

Regarding Biden, I think he's a good choice for Obama.

I keep hearing more and more along these lines, especially as I go on my client visits. Let's not forget that Biden has already survived two brain anerysms. Scary, scary thoughts!

My bf (a republican) and I were talking about this last night. I wouldn't say that I think there's a "good chance" that the next Prez will die in office, but it's certainly a stronger possibility than in a typical election, I think. McCain is looking and sounding older and older, and there are plenty of whackos out there that might make an attempt on Obama just because he's black. We all know that's wrong, but a real possibility.

[AGDee]

You're right, "good chance" is too strong but I was lacking a better way to say it. A stronger possibility than in more recent elections is a better way to put it. I know the concerns about Obama were expressed way back around the time of the Michigan primaries. One popular DJ said that the best way to ensure it didn't happen would be for Obama to pick Al Sharpton as his Veep... lol. All jokes aside, the underlying concern is there.

You're an idiot.

I got a text from my sister in law earlier today. She was at the Diamondbacks' game with her sister and McCain was there. When he was on the JumboTron, the whole stadium booed.

Gotta love Arizona.

OMG that's awful. As much as I don't agree with McCain and his ideas, I wouldn't boo him. I hate when people do that, it's so disrespectful.

He must have done something really bad to piss off his home state.

I totally forgot that was his home state. Well he must have....sheesh! lol

Maybe they didn't get invites to any of his 7 or 8 houses.

I love Biden. I think he's a good choice for the ticket. I'm hoping they win and Richardson can be SOS. He'd be outstanding.
