There's an awful email going around about him being a radical Muslim - kind of trying to tie him to the terrorist factions in the Muslim religion. If you Snope it, of course it's lies. How foolish some people are.

Yup, I noticed that the email was complete lies. Sad... They aired a huge story about it on Fox as well, none of which was true. (CNN later ran a story showing all of the lies.)

I guess that's to be expected in politics though.

I have gotten that same email several times. I always copy the page from Snopes onto it and send it back to the people I got it from. WHY don't people check those things out?!?

What date is the final election and your new president voted in?. Over here news is on Hilary a lot.

The real election is in November once we've narrowed it down to one candidate from each party, and they have selected their vice presidential running mate.

We really don't have any good choices left. I was for Ron Paul, but knew he could not make it. Next choice was Edwards, and he's bit the dust.

Now I'm for Obama. McCain is pro-war in Iraq, and Hillary....well I have several reasons not to want Hillary in the office.

I've heard it speculated that McCain will pick Condolesa Rice for his VP either way, to try to pull the black and female votes.

I'm afraid we are in for trouble either way you go. No one decent wants to run for president. Who would really want to subject themselves to all the media scruttiny and to have to deal with all the frustrations of running this huge mess? There are no simple answers.

Wow thats a long way off, our's only lasts a couple of month but I suppose you are a bigger country. Our PM is a bit weedy I did like Tony Blair but all are party leaders at the mo are not up to much.

That's a very good idea Tink!

I heard this morning that if Hillary doesn't win the California primary, she may not win
That's how close they are now!

If the bad stuff is that he is Muslim and supports terrorists and such, I suggest you do a quick Snopes search and you'll see that it was all lies made up to turn the populace against him. The rumors have been dispelled, but that doesn't keep them from circulating unfortunately...

That's fine. That's the great thing about America. We all get to have our own opinion and vote. I just hate to see when someone has been misinformed and hope you will research so that you can get a better understanding of the candidates. Sometimes it's hard to see the truth when there are so many rumors... Snopes and FactCheck.org are good unbiased sources.
