So... It's 2008 - It's an election year - A Presidential election year - The primaries for both the Republican and Democratic parties are now officially over. John McCain is the presumptive Republican nominee, while Barack Obama has apparently clinched the Democratic spot, winning out over Hillary Clinton's groundbreakingly historical campaign. I do suppose Obama's campaign is groudbreaking as well, considering he's the first Black American to garner a major political party's nomination for President of the United States.

So - I make this thread and post this poll... What are your feelings about the race thus far? Who are you planning to vote for (if anyone)? Where do your feelings lie with the two major Dem and Repub parties? Why do you think your candidate of choice should succeed President Bush and become the new President of the United States?

Let's talk about it!

RNC Statement on Democrat Party Disunity

WASHINGTON – RNC Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement today:
Saturday, June 07, 2008

“Even as Senator Clinton concedes her candidacy and endorses Barack Obama today, it’s clear the Democrat Party is struggling desperately to unify. Senator Clinton was correct to question Obama’s naïveté and inexperience, and those concerns remain for all voters nationwide. As Senator Clinton and other Democrats have clearly stated, their Party will struggle to coalesce behind Barack Obama.

“I am confident voters across America will reject Barack Obama on Election Day, just as half of his Party already has – and with good reason. Barack Obama’s inexperience, poor judgment, and fundamental lack of understanding of issues that matter most to Americans are becoming more visible every day. As voters become more familiar with Barack Obama’s record in the coming months, they too will see why he is not qualified to be Commander in Chief.
