Bush / Kerry

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

By half the polls I've seen I'm guessing it'll be another Gore/Bush fiasco.

Of course, by the other half Bush will win.

On the other hand polls mean nothing as I, nor anyone else I work with/live with/am friends with/am married to/am family with/have spoken to was polled. So essentially a poll is someone's guess.

I'd guess Kerry.

On November 3rd, Bush will be in power. Inaguration doesn't take place immediately.

Oops. I clicked too soon.

My gut feeling says Bush is going to win, but I'm thinking Kerry has a fair chance.

I think Bush will win. The reason being that I know how things work over here in the States. Bush and his aides have had four years time now to rig the election.

It sounds preposterous, but trust me, it is entirely possible here.

Why introduce such things as 'early voting" and the such. Because it can all be manipulated. And because the media is in control by those who back Bush, the public will be made to believe everything went fair and square.

Paranoia? Once upon a time, maybe. But not today.

If there is any justice whatsoever in this world, Kerry will win.* So, I'm voting for him.

*So, of course I'm expecting the Supreme court to step in again. Bring me the head of Antonin Scalia!

Ass. That was my comment.

And I believe Bush. Incumbents have a tendency to win, and when coupled with the relentless attacks on Kerry from everybody and their mother, I think it's too much for him to overcome.

Kerry's gonna pull it off, someway somehow, but like the Daily Show is talking, tomorrow is the prelude to a recount.

Personally I would rather see Nader win, but that's not gonna happen

If anyone is curious vegas is giving these odds
Bush 8/13 which translates into .62
Kerry 6/5 which translates into .45

looks like vegas is giving the election to Bush, but stranger things have happened

Ah the electoral process lol

and as far as offending Besters, if its allowable to call Bush supporters morons or rednecks, then pointing out that Clinton has a thing for lonely fat chicks should be allowed lol.

Still upsets you your mom voted for him, huh?

Or was it that she spent your allowance on the winch and flatbed to get her to the voting booth?

Bush will win, i think sadly - too many Amerians seem to be crap scared of terrorists - and the world will continue to become a progresivly ****er place for the majority.

I think Bush is gonna win, though like most of the world, I'd much rather he get kicked out...

Mind you, the latest polls seem to slightly favour Kerry (see http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Anybody see the Dead Ringers Election special last night?

"John Kerry has no policy on cupboard-monsters. Vote Bush or the Boogieman will get you."

The Michael Moore send-up was kwality.

"How can Mr Moore keep smiling, even though I am playing sad music underneath the footage? He laughs, even though I intercut the images with bad things happening. What kind of monster is this man?"

"There is no evidence to link a young Michael Moore to the shooting of JFK, but can the fact that you are watching these two pieces of footage side by side really just be coincidence?"
