Overall, she has been a pretty good governor. Admittedly, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know that she would make a good VP\u00e2\u20ac\u201cI don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really think she has any national experience to speak of. But as far as AK goes, she really hasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t been a bad governor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>153. Armada (17 piepoints)<\/strong>  |  October 11th, 2008 at 5:56 pm<\/p>\n<p>152-You have a point. But she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Republican. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think we need all that much of an additional reason to not like her.<br \/>\nHey, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re eighteen, aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you? Who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re you voting for? Sorry, maybe that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too personal a question, but you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a Democrat, aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you?<br \/>\nNow that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve said this, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re probably seventeen. What the heck. Sorry.<br \/>\nThis discussion should probably move to the Hot Topics thread.<\/p>\n<p><strong>154. \u00e2\u0161\u00a1\u00e2\u02dc\u00bdLuna the Lovely\u00e2\u02dc\u00be\u00e2\u0161\u00a1 (7 Potterpoints!)<\/strong>  |  October 11th, 2008 at 7:02 pm<\/p>\n<p>153\u00e2\u20ac\u201cYes, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m 18. As far as whom I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m voting for, and whether I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a Democrat\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.well, to the latter, I really don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know what I would classify as. I honestly don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t really think of myself in terms of Republican\/Democrat, when I registered to vote, I registered as undeclared, although undecided might have been closer to the truth. My family is definitely Republican (not that they wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ever vote for a Democrat, but they tend to be pro-Republican)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like either of the candidates. However, from what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard (admittedly, mainly from my parents\/sister\/grandmother) McCain seems like the lesser of two evils. But like I said, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think I like either. But I will probably end up voting for McCain. *dodges rocks thrown by the bulk of MBers* Sorry, I know most (many) of you are democratic leaning, but\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6..<\/p>\n<p>As far as disliking Palin just because she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a republican, well to me that seems just as bad as the people who completely dislike\/will never vote for someone just because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re democratic. For me, I think it would be more based on individual policies, rather than solely on a person\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s political leanings. but, to each one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, luv, I know that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably not the answer you were hoping for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>155. YodaShmoda <\/strong> |  October 11th, 2008 at 7:16 pm<\/p>\n<p>154- i sooo agree with you. i\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve kinda been thinking that maybe McCain might be a bit better but just for like one term. of course i cant vote so that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s just an opinion that will never be voiced.<br \/>\nwhich reminds me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 has anyone seen the play VOTE? i watched it with my QuEST group (don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ask) it was really good, somtimes it was sorat chessey but mainly it talked about how important it is to vote. The girl gets sent bact to during the Reveloutionary times when no one votes then to the womans sufferage when woman couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t vote then to MLK times when technicaly blacks could vote but people made it hard for them to do so and then to the Vietnam war era when 18 year olds wre sent to war without a choie and they couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even voice their opinions about the war because they vote, but so anyways it was really really really good.<br \/>\nbut if i could vote i would vote for Kokopelli!<\/p>\n<p><strong>156.

I suppose that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s true (about Palin), but how is McCain the lesser of two evils? If I was undecided, I would probably vote for Obama, because he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more concerned about the enviroment (that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard, anyway), and\u00e2\u20ac\u201c you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re probably going to not agree with me on this\u00e2\u20ac\u201c he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s black. I know you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re probably going to give me a lecture about how it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not a good idea to vote for someone based on what gender or color they are, but, since I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m democratically inclined anyway, I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s awesome that there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s finally a black candidate running.<br \/>\nThough, if Hilary hadn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t lost, I would have been torn.<br \/>\nNot that my opinion matters anyway.
