gmac17 Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 I voted for McCain, but will admit that if he wins (which isn't looking likely) I won't be excited tonight. It is a very unique situation - and I've never felt like this before. anyone else out there feel the same way?
SJ Bills backer Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Look at the bright side - how could it ever get any worse than under W?
Lakesider Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Same here.... I have zero confidence in either major candidate. Neither commands a broad skill set for the job at hand, nor a breadth of task maturity. Most of Congress will be returned to office, and we all know how keenly incisive the Dems have been with their majority in the House. Barack, Nancy, and Harry do not call forth faith, confidence, nor a sense of well-being. If Dems pull off the trifecta, there will be a Rep in the Oval Office in 2013...and we'll be back to same old, same old.

VABills Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Look at the bright side - how could it ever get any worse than under W? Just remember every Bills fan said that when Losman took over from Bledsoe. Guess what, it got worse.
IDBillzFan Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Look at the bright side - how could it ever get any worse than under W? Give Obama two years and you'll be begging for Jimmy Carter. But I'm a rich elitist selfish unpatriotic snob who thinks he's a joke, and I only say now that because his Civilian Army isn't here to make me stop. Yet.
SJ Bills backer Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Just remember every Bills fan said that when Losman took over from Bledsoe. Guess what, it got worse. ouch - thanks for bringing that one home BUT in this case, I'd pretty much guarantee a monkey could do bettter than W - even randomly it'd get something right
KD in CA Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 anyone else out there feel the same way? So much so I didn't vote for either of them.

Define comfortable- Do I think that all our problems will go out the window because of the new president? No.

SDS Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I voted for McCain, but will admit that if he wins (which isn't looking likely) I won't be excited tonight. It is a very unique situation - and I've never felt like this before. anyone else out there feel the same way? Exit polling data said that only 24% (?) of Obama's voters were excited about the thought of his Presidency. McCain should have never seen the light of day in the Republican party. So, no - you ain't alone.
SDS Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 ouch - thanks for bringing that one homeBUT in this case, I'd pretty much guarantee a monkey could do bettter than W - even randomly it'd get something right You forgot he won re-election. His 2nd term has been disastrous though.
swede316 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 His 2nd term has been disastrous though.I really think G.W. COULD have been one of the best Presidents ever...His one big mistake was IRAQ....Had he not gone there I think everything else would have been good.
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I really think G.W. COULD have been one of the best Presidents ever...His one big mistake was IRAQ....Had he not gone there I think everything else would have been good. Ok, explain some of the good things Bush has done over the past 8 years. Im genuinely curious.
swede316 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I was speaking of his first term, up until Iraq. It all goes south after that. Before that though things were good.
drnykterstein Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I voted for McCain, but will admit that if he wins (which isn't looking likely) I won't be excited tonight. It is a very unique situation - and I've never felt like this before. anyone else out there feel the same way? That's how I've felt in every single election before this one. I hated Bush 1 and Dukakis, I hated Clinton, I hated Dole, and I hate the other Bush, and I hated Gore, and I hated Kerry. So.. finally I like a guy.. Obama.
The Big Cat Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I was speaking of his first term, up until Iraq. It all goes south after that. Before that though things were good. Soooooo, the first half of his first of two terms.
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I didn't vote. I had my voter registrations removed.
swede316 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Soooooo, the first half of his first of two terms Well..The economy was pretty good 6 out of the 8 years. It only tanked in the last 6 months. Bad timing for McCain no doubt. Like I said...If it weren't for Iraq..Alot of the negativeness would not be there.
