Poll: ? (Vote): McCain (Vote): Obama (Vote): Other (specify)
there's the exact same poll as that on the OP except with 300 votes
McCain said that the California state Supreme Court's decision to overturn a law banning same-sex marriages was wrong. This makes me wonder if he has studied the Constitution of California as much as the court and its conservative majority.

Biden has been seen as one of the top contenders for the job for months now.
Biden isn't bad from what I've seen, but he doesn't seem like the change type. But lately Obama doesn't seem like it either, for all I can tell. Biden seems intelligent. Being a Senator for 30 years doesn't necessarily mean he should be accountable for the style of politics of the Senate as a whole. Even in his personal voting he's surely had to make a countless amount of compromises. So he might be an entirely different type of President than Senator (I say President since as VP he will probably be irrelevant, and might be President after Obama).
Who else is there? I kind of like the Webb guy from Virginia, but I don't know a great deal about him.

I have a feeling that Obama might just lose. With the attacks such as ObamaNation, and now Fox news is basically saying he wants your kill unborn kids that will have the religious right frothing at the mouth and in McCain's pocket no matter who he chooses as VP, and with Russia flexing it's political, and military muscle only helps McCain.

Audience member: ...If we don't reenact the draft I don't think we will have anyone to chase Bin Laden to the gates of hell. John McCain: Ma'am let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said and thank you and I am grateful for your support of all of our veterans.
Although that seems more like he screwed up his wording rather than him thinking we should reinstate the draft.

What a fool!
