Just as the title says. With less than a week away, lets get a BU poll. Private.
Ends on the 4th
Dems Vs Reps only, sorry.

I predict a landslide, considering all the euros on these boards and how much less popular Bush is over there than even inside America.

I coudltn figure out how to make 2 polls in one thread.
I saw how to make one poll allow 2 different votes, but I didnt like the idea of giving people the possibility to vote for both candidates.


ALso, I did the names Rep-dem dem-rep. Didndt want to place one candidate atop both polls.

17-2 Obama-Biden as of my vote. That certainly sounds like it could come true.
None of the polls are showing a landslide, so I doubt it is true. For one, this is Buf. Lots of Euros who will go for the obvious left-leaner. For another thing, it's the internet where "Conservative" is typically equitable with any derogatory term you can come up with along with unintelligent sheep.

I don't know why my name isn't on that list, but I'll vote for neither since if either one gets picked, we are all ****ed again anyways.

"Who do you want to win this election?"

Where's the "The people" option?

By popular (not really) demand--more options! :p

Edit: Actually wait, scott84 said only democrats and republicans. Hope I didn't ruin this. :p

True with straight polls, most of which show around a 5-10 point lead—solid but arguably not overwhelming. By electoral college, however, Obama is showing more than double the votes of McCain. I don't know where "landslide" becomes appropriate: a Reagan win of 400-500 or a Clinton win of 200-250? Our historical perspective has probably been skewed by Bush Jr's two razor thin victories, which are far more the exception than the rule. Whatever it's called, by the map, Obama appears headed for a Clinton-sized win.

And a nod to the Axis of Liberal Bias, which apparently gains another member—first "the media", then "the reality", and now "the internet". :D

I dont care at all. The results are pretty much in on BU's side. haha. Someone sent me a message saying 'good set of polls you have there'. I'm guessing that was sarcasm. :)

We'll see.

Also, if you don't think that people who hang around IRC/Forums/Digg/Slashdot/etc lean left... well.. okay.
