Since i am not of age and Canadian, it doesn't matter, but I would vote for Kerry/Edwards, though I would prefer Dean/Gephardt or Dean/practically anyone.

Out of sheer curiousity, did anyone in the media or otherwide ask what Mary Cheney thought of this before jumping to conclusions? It was all over one of the morning shows (I can't remember which one, I'm not all there in the morning )the other day that Dick and Lynne Cheney were pissed, but practically no mention of Mary. Still, I think that with everything going on in Iraq and the wor

I fully support having more political parties involved BUT... The only way that there will be more than 2 parties anytime soon will be if the system is totally changed. The problem is that it is too winner-take-all. In order to win the election (or get anything), you must first win a state, no matter by what margin (pretty much anything in between 51-49, 99-1, and 34-33-33 with 3rd parties), and you will take all of the electoral votes in th

All right, I watched the first pres and VP debates, but missed the second (or third, depending on how you look at it) debate, and kicked myself in the ass when I realized it (well, not literally). I had a few questions for the candidates that needed answering, and I was wondering if anyone else had anything they would like to ask either candidate (or perhaps they answered them already and I missed it because I'm a moron) that needed answering. <

Okay, here are a few laws of politics 1) People are free to speak, but it is an "outrage" when they speak out in the opposite direction you do 2) Everyone thinks that the media is biased the opposite way they are 3) "liberal" has somehow become a dirty word--you don't see Kerry ads telling people that Bush is just another "far-right Texas conservative out of the mainstream," but you do see it the other way around 4) The Republicans seem

I like a character with full stamina and a lot of $$$/fundraising because it makes it easier for me to build HQs early. I also like to pick a running mate that will compliment my abilities, (ie, one that has a lot of experience if I dont), or create my own super-running mate, because that way, I can spend my first 20 weeks pretty much just building HQs (and fundraisers), and the rest fighting back (I usually have about 1-3 states at the week 20-25 mar

I just beat him today with George Washington (Lincoln as running mate). If you get screwed on random events early, restart because it will make things that much harder. I focused on the big states (California, Florida, Texas, Illinois(Lincoln), Ohio, Pennsylvania, etc.) but not New York (too hard to get). If you can get fully upgraded HQ's in big states, and smaller ones in some smaller states where you have a decent chance of winning (ie the South,

I'd like to see first, Howard Dean, and some more historical candidates, such as Michael Dukakis, Bob Dole, JFK, Dwight Eisenhower, and Dan Quayle (and maybe Adlai Stevenson). Plus, opposing capital punishment has got to win over votes with SOMEBODY. And perhaps a few fun characters, like Homer Simpson, Peter Griffon or Hank Hill. DEFINITELY Howard Dean and John McCain.

Sounds like Canada. We had a thief and liar, a far-right nut job who needs a new haircut and to shut his party up, a bald man with little support, a big mouth, and no chance of winning, and a wacko who wants Quebec to separate. The winner: Our very own lovable thief and liar. I personally liked the bald man

Can you give us an approximate estimate of when it will come out? I am sick and tired of this excellent game being ruined by a bunch of stupid bugs (so far I've had "Can't progress past first level in campaign mode" and "Damn thing crashes whenever I try to win an endorsement as a Republican (strangely enough, when I play as a Democrat, nothing bad happens)").

I kicked the living crap out of Taft quite easily (59% and 50 states). He was getting ahead in a lot of states by creating ads, while I was working on making HQs. About halfway through the game, his ads disappear. It turns out he ran out of money. From there on in, it was incredibly easy. I even won his home state. I worked on turning red states blue, national ads, and sending my VP to states that aren't worth the effort of building HQs (New Hamp

I wish I got to vote on Nov. 2nd! Unfortunately, that will never happen for 2 reasons: I'm Canadian and I'm under 21. Though America has every right to control their own interests and look out for themselves, they should not be doing it in a way to damage one of their closest allies and biggest trading partners. For example, our cattle industry has been nearly destroyed due to the refusal to open the border for almost a year now since our f
