As sad as it is that he got in, i will still love my country, still fight for it if i ever had too, and will never be ashamed to call myself an American. Even though at the last minute Obama changed his "under $250k tax cut policy" to $50k yesterday, and pushed so that the votes from the soldiers in Iraq didnt count. i will still love my country. Such is life. We must now deal with it, move on, and do everything in our power to keep this country at the top. Majority of the U.S.A. got what they wanted. This is how the election system works. If you dont like it, then leave. Whether it was a bad stupid choice or not, its how it works. Its how we live. No matter what happens i will always stand by my country. McCain is a wonderful man, and would have been a great president. People failed to realize he was nothing like Bush, as he was a "reformed republican" and looked at this country in an entirely different way then Bush ever did. He spent over 50 years serving his beloved country, in a military and political way. To dedicate his life to his family, and his country shows he is a true American Hero, and a True Soldier, as well as a True Patriot. Even though he lost, he gave his honest feelings, saying that no matter what, he will continue to server his country, and his new president. Spoken like a true hero. |

I think this goes to show that the popular vote is worthless. | ||

We have no voice. The country is our voice. The Elector College Votes are bullshit. Yet, McCain won most, Obama still won. |

not to mention maddog, I don't know where you got your facts but Obama won both the popular vote and electoral vote. how did McCain win most? and did any of you happen to think that no matter who got into the presidency right now, they're gonna be tested and I highly doubt either of them will/would pass the real hard tests? Well, you can't blame me, I vote for Ross Perot. At least we decriminalized MJ in Mass. I'm not pot head but the money we can save will be worth letting people hold an ounce or less! But fuck, abolished dog racing? Fuck you all who voted yes on question 3 in Mass. Bastards just put people out about 2k jobs, and with the major layoffs the state is doing, hello new high unemployment rate in Mass. Fuckers. |

Dude, there is nothing wrong with the electoral college. Maddog, don't bitch about it, cause the democrats were saying the same thing 8 years ago. The E.C. is about representing the States, because each state is affected differently by a president through it's own constitution. He won. Get over it. We'll put up with 4 years. |

California has 55 electoral votes because, well, we have the most people. Sounds fair to me. If he won most states, the number of people there still adds up to less than the ones Obama won, which means they've less electoral votes. I agree though, Glitch. |

Wrong. He changed it to 200k, there's a big difference. I didn't realize so many of you were conservative, but Obama was the right choice this election, regardless of your party alignment. McCain has served this country well, sure, but that doesn't entitle him to be President. Obama ran a better campaign and has progressive stands on many of the issues important to the future of this country. |
