Obamas going to win because mcain is just like bush and if mcain gets elected he's just going to mess up the country even more.

Jessica

Keenan

i want Obama to win

=D

i think they should not be so mean. I think from looking at the debates that Barack Obama will win because people think he is a very good speaker and people like him.Either way we will all make history with our new president this year.

I hope McCain wins because he has a lot more experience. Obama is not a bad man its just that I dont think he is quite ready to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

Jackie

I believe Obama should win he promises to think about the children in this nation. The children are finally getting a say in this election, so why waste this great opportunity.This election can make history! The first female vice president or the first African American. So get envolved!!!!!!!!!!!!

Austin

I think Obama should win because all McCain wants to do is cut spending.

Jackie

I believe Obama should win because he promises to think about the children in this nation. The children are finally getting a say in this election, so why waste this great opportunity.
