If Obama doesn't win, do you feel a little bit sorry for him?

He is totally wrong for the job right now, but he tried really hard! He changed his views on nearly everything to get those votes. Sometimes his views changed back, depending when he was in the east or west, north or south. Plus, his ego will be destroyed! Poor guy!

Update:

You do know that Polls are not actual votes? And that Electorates decide?

Update 2:

I feel a tiny morsel of sorrow for him, about his grandma, and losing tomorrow, but I will be celebrating McCain's victory this time tomorrow.

    I feel pretty bad for John Mccain especially because he lost by a landslide. Poor guy...at least he tried really hard!!

    Actually if was John McCain who flip-flopped on just about every issue to try to get the far right conservative vote. His flip-flops (the famous joke about McCain is 'He was for it before he was against it.') have probably cost him the election.

    The old John McCain who everyone respected, both Democrats and Republicans, gave way to the nasty, mudslinging, dirty tricks politics of the Karl Rove / George Bush mindset and turned away many moderates and independent voters.

    After he came out with the lie ad accusing Obama of supporting sex education for five year olds and everyone, including many Republicans, claimed publicly that he had gone too far with the lies I knew Obama was going to win. You can't win without the independents and most of them were pushed away from McCain and Palin early on.

    It's really a shame if you think about it. The once proud, honest man who rightfully called the far right 'agents of intolerance' will now be remembered as one of the nastiest dirty tricks people in history.

    I think McCain changed his views a bit more dramatically. To make my point, just ask yourself, is McCain for or against regulation of wall street?

    The polls are not actual votes of course, but they are whom the people polled are going to vote for. do some research on the electoral college, you don't seem to know how it works. the electorates don't choose independently whom they vote for, all of the electorates of a state are given to the winner of the state.

    Oh h#ll no.

    I do not feel bad for the death of his grandmother,that should be a time to be celebrated. If she was a Christian, then she went home to be with our Father. There was not a lot of media talk about her.

    She also won't see her grandson disgrace the family by loosing..

    on the beginning up i assumed he became into completely faux. yet he has grown on me. If i became into in the domicile, he could be between the coolest adult adult males to me. Marios approach became into devious, incorrect and faux. Dave became into up final week, so why enable Andrew off with that excuse. John James, hit the nail on the top. Wouldnt believe Mario. How come housemates think of they are able to control the wide-unfold public. supply us credit.

    I won't feel sorry for him. He doesn't have the experience to be President. He is just going to turn our beloved country socialist. He only went to Hawaii to seal those birth records and not to visit that dying white Grandmother that he "threw under the bus,"

    Yeah, cause America certainly doesn't care...

    The fact is, I think McCain is a wonderful person, and has a very good heart, but I really do think that his ideals are just BAD for this point in our history. And his running mate is almost enough to make me run back to Bush... ehhh...

    Also, I LOVE how people say Obama is contradicting himself. The best example I saw was "He says he wants equality, but wants a strong middle class. How can he want equality if he wants class division" Ignoring the fact that that was a terrible butchering of his intentions, when you compare that to McCain's inability to clearly state his position.

    After the economic problems, and the bailout-bill was passed, he couldn't seem to make up his mind, saying it was something he was "very proud of", and then, a few moments later saying "I am very ashamed of this bill".

    He speaks for himself. Also, you ignorant #$@%s really need to knock off this Terrorist crap. Obama is not a terrorist, he is not out to get you. He's just another person running for president. I think both candidates are excellent people, with two very different points of views.

    Seriously, how much more do you want to cement my opinion on your being Sheep. Grow up.

    No, he's been lying to us like crazy. He's put on a show. He's like George Bush and he claims falsely that McCain is.

    He deserves to lose this one. Obama is another Bush, and I will feel sorry for the confused nation if he wins.

    I think they know what they are getting into...I think if he lost it would be potentially hard for him and his family because of all the media he's gotten. And personally ALL I hear is that he will win! But if he wanted to be president, he would already need to have a level head and be aware that not everyone likes him...Even if it's a majority!

    I don't think we will have to worry about that. The first 2 polls are already closed and counted and Obama won by a landslide. One of the polls has not been won by a Democrat since the 60's
