406. I can't vote
because I'm from Canada.
I'd like to see Barack win because I don't like the idea of a Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton thing happening.
It doesn't really show change. Was Clinton better than Bush2? Fuckin' right, but so was every other one before him. The next?? ugh.

I see the fighting in here in different ways. It's good that people are so passionate about it, really wanting to make a change. Calling people names is pretty much par with message boards. I can't understand how someone would change their vote based on what someone on an internet message board says to them or about their favorite.

Fighting against your own side is good if it helps the right person get elected, for the right reasons. Get the shit out there.. the more info you have the better before making your decisions, sift through the name calling and find your issues, don't defend them rabidly, but question them and see what/if anything changes.
Don't let someone sway you because of what they say to you in a personal attack on a message board, decide for yourself. Admitting it makes it worse.. The ones that slam and do all the shit you don't like think it's working and turn it up a notch.
