Not knowing is part of the fun right???

Other wise people, fickle as they are,
If they knew others were watching
might not vote for who they would really
vote for......

Well AzX5, while I respect your opinion I disagree with you on this. I think whoever is finally elected President will have to compromise to get anything accomplished. The perfect example is the current $700 million bailout/rescue plan currently in Congress and how it failed and is now being modified and explained, things that really should have happened initially. Just because McCain has a track record of bi-partisan legislation does not mean that I or many others agree with his stand on many key issues and will therefore support him. It comes down to a trust and faith that the candidate you ultimately choose to support and vote for will do what it takes to introduce the best (define that however you may....) legislation and will spend the time and effort to educate and convince enough people in this country and Congress to support it. Ideally without the suffocating influence of Lobbyists, as has been the case for far too long.... (This may be wishfull thinking). BTW, do you think that Sarah Palin would be as willing to compromise as McCain to get things done? (from what I have heard from her so far, I don't think so...). I for one am willing to give B. Obama a little more credit and faith that he will also compromise and "reach accross the aisle" to enlist the support of the Republicans to get things accomplished. We will see....

Well, it looks like this totally unscientific poll of BMW enthusiasts is starting to have a prolonged edge for Obama/Biden.... Any one else want to "register" their vote here?

man I wish the names were showing on this poll

I seriously doubt the people of this forum make up any part of what these two are going after right now. It is more than evident that almost everyone who routinely posts in these threads has made up their mind. So no poll here is scientific by any measure. Actually, neither are the Gallop polls (remember how wrong they were in the primaries). Polling 1000 possible voters? I don't think that would pass in the Journal of Medicine

Actually this poll agrees with most recent national polls. Obama leads by 6-10 points in most polls, which in my opinion will equate to a margin of +/- 1% (loss or victory) in the only poll that matters on November 4th.

I believe there are far more Obama "supporters" who will not show up November 4th (or really vote for someone else) than there are for McCain.

Welcome to America Dannyell
you may want to brush (bush?) up on the U.S. Constitution to find out what is and is not allowed.
But then if Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of NYC can say that he plans to run for a third consecutive term, even though he is not allowed to, then what the heck...
(I would vote for Bloomberg if I still lived in NYC)

But really, even if Bush/Cheney could and did run for a 3rd term, what percentage of the voting public would really vote for them, knowing what we now know of what they did for the past 7-8 years and the results of their choices and decisions.......????
I think, at most, around 20%
So Dannyell, would you be among that group?
Would anyone else in this forum?
