Does anyone else feel this election was bought?

I live in PA and they are saying that Obama has taken it. It makes me wonder if money is what buys an election! Obama spent easy triple times more in this election! I am worried that people did not vote on the policies, they voted against Bush who was not even running!

    I agree. And with the amount of amount of money he spent, celebrity support (even 'The Oprah') and economy, it doesn't seem that it's such a landslide. So far the polls are very close.

    I think all elections are bought one way or another. I think you have to look beyond that to the man. I have two grandkids and one is 17 and the other is 13 and they have very different views on the election. An old saying says that you should go to a child for the truth. They can see things we can't. My 17 year old grandson thinks that Obama will be killed like Kennedy if he gets in because of his race. My grandaughter my 13 year old thinks he is a good man and woukld vote for him if she could. I always thought thought that Kennedys vice president had something to do with his assassanation because he wanted to be president. I believe he made arrangements to pay someone for it. With politics you can never be sure.

    In the words of my 12 yr old, when i asked him why he would vote for Obama: because he's popular.Barack Obama, has bought so much air time that most people will vote for him just because he's popular, so in a way, yes, he has bought the election.

    depends...

    if you really were into politics then you would pick what is right but if you voted just because of popularity then thats just there problem but it will effect us. so its a strange argument...

    Many kids choose Obama because he is more well-known.
