    Being from Canada, my thoughts on the US election is who really cares since the US economy is in such a mess that regardless of who wins, their chances of pleasing everyone is so slim that they'll probably lose the next election in four years, but we will all be glad to see the dust of Bush.

  • Interesting. I thought there would be a much stronger liberal bias on VentureBeat. Currently Obama is trading at 92% on the prediction markets and betting exchanges. He moved from up from 88% on Friday. I expect that it will tighten further as the markets are factoring in a small probability of a last minute surprise.

    john mccain will be the president.
    i think the person from canada needs to get their facts straight and stay on there side of the border. you are so ignorant you dont even know what youre talking about.
    george w. bush is a great man and very dedicated person. sure there has been some errors made, but like everything else nothing falls like it should. so why dont you all stop being so negative and look at the facts. Obama is nothing but a socialist. and our economy is never going to gain any strength if he is elected.
    its an honor to call myself an American. but anyone with the name Barack Huessein Obama is def. not an American.

    GET A GRIP ON REALITY YOU DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS!!!!

    I Hate You. Get Smart, you jackass. Do you even know what you are saying? "Bush is a great man"... BS!! GROW UP. Oh, and if McPaine win, we will all perish, and you are going to be the first to perspire.

    now everybody who wrote bad things about obama is going to perspire. because if we get a nother republican into the white house we will never have nothing because we can't afford a nother person to take up for the rich we need somebody to help middle class people. look at george bush........ he was a republican and now look the rich lost their jobs, he sent our love ones into the war and for what....... we haven gain any legion.......now i'm not say that i dislike george bush because george bush is a good man but can we afford and nother person like him????..... that's the question that we all need to ask our self.. and if you search for your inner self... u will find the key to life......... i think that it's time to tell the truth.. the only reason that your voting for mccain is because the world isn't ready for a black president right... but most of the non-black's think that it is time for a change but u think that it is so obsure to have a black leader let's not make a bad choice "Obama for president 2008"

    Obama for president 2008"
  • The Master
    George Bush Wasnt To Good Of A Guy And Maccain Wont Be Any Better, Republicans Are like The romans , They Never Want To Change But Why Still Be In 2008 Until 2012, And If Some Really retarded people still vote for a republican Im Moving To England
  • hollywood
    McCain will when no dought about it
  • whitefemale
    Okay, really, you people who say McCain will win fail.

    No one knows who will really win.

    Clearly Obama is better for the country.

    If you read all of the facts you'd realize that he is, in fact, the better candidate.

    But yeah. Since he's half black he must be a bad person.

    -.- Yes he has a weird name. His father is from Kenya and he met his mother in Hawaii. What do you expect?

    So what. If your name was Achmed 'cause your parents wanted it to be that you'd automatically be claimed a terrorist because you don't have an "American" name .. even though you were born here?

    So many people here are ignorant and too far up on their high horse.
