Well thanks America, you've done it again...

Mccain has just pulled ahead of Obama in recent polls.

Great job. Only in America could people be too blind to see that Barack Obama is by far the better choice. Mccain's campaign consists of lies, and negative criticisms, yet has nothing which reccomends him to be a better president.

The world is crying out for change. Mccain is not about change, you might as well say "welcome back Bush".

I'd love to be wrong, but we all know that Mccain has got this election in the bag. Even if he hasn't, the whole fact that there's even competition is ridiculous.

It's just such a shame that for the most important elections in the world, the votes are wasted on Americans.

Go on, call me racist, call me ignorant. I'm just sick and tired of you guys electing idiots.

I agree with you totally Sir.

I'm not for either candidate as i've stated before, but McCain is by far the lesser of the two. I can't understand why people seem to want another 4 years of Bush.

How does this deal with racism?Genetic_Code

because im pretty much saying that if mccain gets elected, Americans should have their rights to vote revoked.

If McCain gets elected President, the entire country is in for four (more) years of epic fail. I really, really hope that the voters make the right choice when the time comes.MicWazowski

It's your opinion of who you want to win. Just because the person you want isn't winning right now doesn't mean you need to get angry at the people.

Do the people really want change? Maybe they think Mccain will change more to what they want then what Obama wants to change. IF that makes sense to you.

Cheney had more experience than EVERYONE. look where that got us.

A politician will always be a politician. Each parties got "fans" of a certain ideology and they do their best to keep the fans and make more and more.It's a dam business.

Anywayz, the president aint controlling everything

I agree with you totally Sir.

xmitchconnorx

4 years of Bush or 4 years of Clinton?

Maybe it's just me but Obama seems too charismatic... Like he's turning on the charm just for the show. It seems patronising to me. He's tickling our fancy but as soon as he wins we'll probably see a different side to him.

I'm not American, so I could be ill-informed.

Obama and McCain will both surely bring the same amount of misery to my beloved country regardless of who gets elected.

If you think Obama is a better candidate, you are very wrong...

McCain will use his experience to continue Bush's failed policies and keep soldiers in Iraq indefinitely. This shouldn't be about who's been on the scene longer. It's about what's going to happen to the country in the future. McCain doesn't have any plans to improve the country because he's under the impression that we're doing just fine.

Sounds like you're knowledge of Mccain and Obama has come strictly from the media... and also way to put down all Americans, when the country is roughly divided by half for each candidate. Instead of insulting Americans, why don't you try to contribute to people's knowledge as to why they should vote for one candidate or the other.Meta-Gnostic

No, it's not strictly come from the media. To be honest, if i could vote, and the election was between a five year old, and John mccain, i would go with the 5 year old. If a man is endorsed by Bush, you know something's wrong. If a man isn't remotely thinking about trying to stop the USA's addiction to oil, you know something's wrong. If a man's believes that the USA can "win" in Iraq, you know something is wrong.

Why don't i contribute to people's knowledge? there is no point! You guys get worked up about Obama's "lipstick on a pig" remark! That has absolutely nothing to do with policy of who could be a better leader. People will vote for Mccain simply because they have a woman as VP.

I could give a comprehensive thesis of why obama is the better candidate, yet all it would take for people to vote mccain, is for Obama to get ONE WORD out of place. It's just so pointless now that i've given up.

If a man is endorsed by Bush, you know something's wrong.

John McCain is the only reasonable choice left. If you can't see the differences between McCain and Bush, then I hope to god you aren't qualified to vote.famicommander

Of course he has no control, but as soon as they agree in policies (which it's undeniable that they do) there is something wrong.

Oh yeah, George Bush is the worst terrorist to ever live.

It's not like either candidate is going to make the world a better place anyway. The problem with American politics isn't the President, it's the entire system, a problem that neither candidate is willing to or going to change.MetroidPrimePwn

Amen to that.

We need a revolution.

Poor Education, Prices of energy, gas, and college skyrocketing, people losing jobs, home forclosures, war, massive debt, etc.

I know, I know. It's hard to keep track of these things when McCain is more concerned with falsely accusing Obama of sexism and dodging the media instead of going into any detail on any of these issues.

A 5 year old better than Mccain... ok there... Why do you think he was endorsed by Bush... because they're REPUBLICAN. Any current Republican president would endorse Mccain... Mccain supports off shore drilling. Obama says alternative energy, but when asked if he has a plan he clearly indicated he did not have one, making an analogy to Kennedy and the moon.

If you feel there is no point in contributing to knowledge then you have failed us all. Why did people react by Obama's remark? Because that (if it was actually true and people thought it was) would show Obama's character. And character is an important part of being president, particularly in relations. And even if he did not direct it at Palin, he may have unconsciously... People are excited about Mccain again because he picked an excellent VP, unlike Biden. If you give up, then you might as well shut up. No offense, but really, thats what should happen. Give up=shut up.

There is so much mis-information, ignorance and flat out lies in this thread that it's almost unbelievable (even for gamespot).

To the topic creator... convince me. Why should I vote for Obama? What will he do that McCain won't? Why is Obama a better choice than McCain?

McCain is a very moderate canidate.. and that is a GOOD thing. You don't want to be too far left (like Obama), or too far right, either. A happy medium is usually the best.. and someone like McCain is not unwilling to work with the other side to get the things done that he thinks is right. He has worked with the democrats in the past. His VP pick, Palin, has even cleaned up corruption in her own party. They are both fighting to make the USA the best it can be, without a party bias. That's what we need.

You forget that the USA isn't like the rest of the world. The rest of the world thinks one way, we think another. And so far it has been pretty damn successful, seeing how we are a superpower and all. Europe's economy is not as free as it is here in America.. and that works for you. What works for you isn't necessarily what is best for us.

"U.S.A is S.O.L and nothing can be done about it. Might as well vote McCain." Is that what you're saying? Even so, that doesn't changed the fact that McCain has avoided addressing these issues like the Plague. They are problems and it would be nice to hear something out of his mouth about how to solve them or, at least, deal with them. Obama has suggested ways to help with all the problems you just wrote off as "part of life". McCain has given up on the American people? Splendid.
