So, what do you reckon? I think Obama can do it.
Funny today McCain was trying to make out that Obama is more like Bush than he is. We're in for a ahem fun few months.
Added new poll below --- who do you WANT to win?

McCain by a landslide.
When it comes to the crunch, I expect a lot of people to switch from the 'edgy' vote to a safe vote. Obama will lead in the exit polls but on the day he'll get whooped. Which is a shame cos I like Obama.

I reckon you're right Bobby. McCain is center enough to appeal to enough socially conservative democrates that he will win. We will never know, but Clinton's greater appeal to conservative voters may have given her a better chance at beating McCain. Kind of ironic, really.

I think people might be surprised.
I would have serious reservations voting for a guy 72 years old (no offence to oldies intended, my dad is as well!).

Actually McCain is very votable. I still can't believe that Bush won the republican nomination over McCain all those years ago. What were they thinking???!
Hope Obama wins though. Really hope so. I think he has good chance. Maybe I have to much faith in the American people, though.

I would have serious reservations voting for a guy 72 years old (no offence to oldies intended, my dad is as well!). in 4 years he'll be 76, rounded up => 80. commander in chief who's almost 80 would be quite encouraging for elderly people.

Age is surely a factor.
Seems made to put a 72 year old who has had medical issues in the past up there.
Then again, yes, nearly half of the voters did actually vote for a chimpanzee. So who knows?

Well I think it will be closer than lots of people think.
Just think how far Obama has come in less than a year. Mighty impressive. Perhaps I'm just hoping.

I'd like Obama to win.
I think lots of people do.
He has a chance.
