You could just rename it to US Presidential Election Thread?

This is awesome news. I just wonder if he'll actually invite her to be his VP.

Personally, I think the venerable Reverend Sharpton would make a much better candidate for VP. DOUBLE BLACK ATTACK.

more like a history book... this was in the news back when the ad still was new even in Norway

daaaamn

So what is the first thing that Barack Obama does as standard bearer of the DNC? He says they are no longer to take money from PACs or registered lobbyists.

My admiration for Obama just blossomed into a man-crush. Let me down gently, please.

Edit: This looks like it checks out for me. Astounding. I was going to wait, but I just gave his campaign $93, which is the individual average from all his contributions so far. He'll get more when he selects a veep that isn't Senator Clinton.

Holy fucking shit! That's gonna hurt McCain a lot seeing as he backpedaled on campaign finance reform laws.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

If he can do these kind of earth-shaking things with the US economy, he could well become my ultimate hero.

and has anyone else noticed how awesome Obama looks? I mean, every time you see him he looks completely in control and on top of what he's doing, never bumbling about awkwardly like a lot of politicians.

This would be the worst move he could make. Obama's tried extremely hard to be above racial politics and Sharpton is quick to play the race card.

I wasn't serious, Grunthor.

As far as securing votes goes I think Hillary would probably be Obama's best choice. I'm just kinda nervous about the fact that she's bought and paid for by HMO's.

A good comparison of Obama's and McCain's oratorial abilities.

I especially like how the only background noise in McCain's speech is actually muffled sound from Obama's speech.

It's a little hard for me to detect internet sarcasm anymore. Especially after reading alot of comments on sites like Huffingtonpost or Politico where everyone is batshit insane over politics.

Anyways, I don't think he's going to take her. Several of her aides have come forth recently to say that she's not seeking the VP slot. I think she's got her eyes set on either the New York governors job or Senate majority leader. I think he's most likely going to take Sebelius, Richardson, or Nunn for a running mate.

More reactions to McCain's speech. I like Jeff Toobin from CNN since he kind of sounds like Steel. He just goes MAN MCCAIN SUCKS.

I notice that while Obama is great at speeches when he receives tough questions in debates he tends to stumble a lot. A lot of "uhhs" and "umms." I really hope they do that town hall style debate. That will be really cool.

It's pretty obvious how much better of an orator Obama is than McCain.

Where are you getting this information from?

If it's true, then I doubt it's Warner since he's running for the senate.

my guess would be Webb, since he has a military image that's good for "balancing the ticket"

and wouldn't it be kind of shit for Kaine to just LEAVE HIS POST AS GOVERNOR to run for VP? I mean, I guess Webb has responsibilities in the senate as well, but it just seems weird for an active governor to do that.

Webb already said he didn't want it, so I doubt he's going to be the VP nominee.
