Yes, but all that means is that so far they have won one state each. McCain has won Kentucky (which he was always going to win), which has 8 electoral votes.

Don't worry - McCain has won two states which he was always expected to win. That's all.

Obama is currently leading in Florida.

On Sky it says

Don't worry, I'm with you.

I find it funny how some people just post on here that they're supporting Obama, but give no reason to back it up. (Preferably...)

Would his age make a difference? It's his views that will change America.

Obviously I have more conservative views, and I believe that people should work hard for what they get. If Obama wins, America will turn into a socialist country. (But, of course, he'll probably win)

I know one minority who won't be voting Obama: the Cubans. The last time they heard change was Fidel Castro.

I would've liked Ron Paul or Mitt Romney to be the Republican Candidate, because I think even McCain has too liberal views for the republican party.

My biggest issue was immigration, which McCain supports granting citizenship to illegal immigrants. (Obviously Obama does as well) To be honest, seeing herds of Mexicans on the street being picked up for construction is what infuriates me. Illegal immigrants stealing jobs that could be going to legal immigrants, and obviously getting paid a considerable amount lower

I have a few other issues with Crime & Punishment and Taxes, but I just wont get into that.

Let's hope you guys know the equivalents instead of just supporting Barack because he's black and McCain's old:
Republicans are the Conservative Party.
Democrats are the Labour Party.

Go Spike.

How insulting for you to suggest that people are just supporting Obama because he is black. And yes, people know which parties in the UK are the equivalent to the US parties. We are not stupid just because we disagree with you.

And I don't know how many times people have to be told this - Obama is NOT a socialist. The people who are calling him that either don't know what socialism is, or they don't really know Obama's policies.

Signing off now. I am in the US, where the country is gripped by election fever.

Aye, I too am tired of people playing the "because he is black" card, Obama is a clever guy, you can tell, McCain is just well, "Old school"
