However the right to vote is an American luxury that was fought for and isn't available in a lot of societies. As for voting in this election, I'm going with Obama. Who else is there? I appreciate the "right" to vote.. I just think it really doesnt matter.. the results will be the same whether I vote or not.. btw I am very politically uninformed since I dont get into politics at all.. I wouldnt even know where to begin.

I dont like voting.....with the Electoral College and all. But it would be Obama without a doubt.

Instead of having swing states, we will be seeing swing metropolitan cities. IMO, that would be even more unfair to the people that don't live in large cities.

But it would be far more fair in deciding a President. There are tons of people like myself who dont vote because they know that Obama winning by 1 million votes in California, or winning by 1,000.....makes no difference in the outcome of the election. And to be completely honest, areas where there a large amounts of people will always (and should be) be more of a focal point.

It's an easier victory for any Democrat if it concentrates on cities. I would rather see a Democrat earn that victory. People from California aren't directly making a difference, but believe it if Obama were to start slipping, even people in California would start tripping. The fact that he's up in the polls in California, by a very large margin shows that people in California are happy with how he's running his campaign. Our voice is still heard in this current electoral college system.

Our voice is still heard in this current electoral college system.First off, polls are ridiculous and should probably been done away with themselves. Americans already have proven themselves to be sheep at times. It doesnt help for people to see who's winning before they vote. You get people who go with the popular pick. In this election, what Im afraid of is...youre going to get a lot of people who will see that the closer we get to election day...the more real the thought of a Black President will be, and the more youll get this flood of Southern, rural, rednecks running to the booths to get their anti-Black vote in on the ballot.If its easier for Democrats to win large cities....so be it. One person, one vote...thats the only way its fair. If Republicans cant win over votes in Major cities, maybe its time to re-examine their beliefs. Or if you really want to make things fair, get rid of parties all-together. The election should be Obama vs Mccain. Not the Democrat vs the Republican. How many Republicans do you think get their facts from Rush Limbaugh simply because he says what they want to hear?
