McCain should be good for another four to eight years.

When was that? From the beginning the U.S. was a two party system with Democrats and Federalists.

I like Obama's style, he is a refreshing change at least in appearance from the typical politician. Substance-wise most of his positions are very well thought out even those I disagree with I can see why he took certain positions.
Funny enough apparently if Obama was running in the Canadian election he would win in a landslide regardless of whether he was put in charge or either of the two main parties. Maybe we're just sick of uninspiring and depressing politicians which could explain it. Heres the poll article: http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/310541

Bollocks. The party system is just as powerful as ever, despite the moderates that don't claim to be affiliated with either party. Look at them now, and consider they were never even mentioned in the Constitution. |

BTW, the "pre-party system" as it is called existed between 1760~1828. Parties did exist, yes, but they weren't presented on the ballot. Similar to how many local elections are held in the US today, for example mayorial elections. So you had people voting on the basis of the person more so then who they were affiliated with. |

Sorry to detract from the seriousness of the discussion, but... I'm the 69th person to vote for Obama. Hehe.

Um... that got a bit off topic from the topic. Anyway, I feel that Obama is the least crazy, so I'd vote for him. I'll try to post something more intelligent when I'm not sleep deprived. |

Does that mean you weren't a Rudd OR Howard supporter then?

I'm not well versed in American politics, but I'd probably vote for Barack Obama if I had to choose. Just as long as Hillary Clinton doesnt take power then anyone is fine by me.

I would have voted for McCain in 2000 or 2004 if given the chance but I couldn't do it now. I can't believe how McCain cuddled up to Bush after what Bush did to him in the 2000 Primary. I just have a hard time respecting McCain after that.

Sadly thats how the game is played, Mccain has to do what he has to do to become president and for fund raising purposes he has to "cuddle up" to bush. In general he seems to be more principled and less corrupt then your average politician and even Obama will make decisions and say things that he doesn't believe in too get elected, I could certainly see him making nice with Clinton even after all of her ridiculous attacks.

Hillary for me. She's the best alternative in my opinion. Obama would work too - USA just doesn't need another republican.
