Guess what Einsteen...sometimes they are! That explains how Bush won the elections over both Al Gore and John Kerry!Right now there are people(and a big number) who wont vote for Obama just because he is black! Titchaz, That is what Germans refer to as "die amerikanische Tragödie" which translates to "the American tragedy"!!!! I hope they will get it right this time. They are lucky because everyday is another chance to get it right!! Thank God for that!!! Einstein and Tichaz Its still amazing that this race is a toss up, only because of the electoral system - the existence of the Electoral college. Some states just wont vote for thier economic and other interests just because the Dem candidate is black (think Kentucky/WVirginia) or simply because of its GOP tradition, yet the last 8 yrs have been a 'bushashter'! Daft voters are everywhere not the least in Kenya where folks vote for the MKM and anti progresive forces based on tribalism, propaganda and monetary inducements. We know that the last 5 and half yrs in Kenya has been pure disaster yet.........

The Americans have to get it right this time!! They always screwed up their chance time and time again to give the world the right leader!!! The Americans owe it to the whole world to elect someone sensitive to the world's problems!! They are the world leader and as such they cannot afford to just fak-up!!!! If they continue screwing up, Japan or Germany will have to take the initiative and I am ready to help the Germans!!!!

PM, I dont know if you had the opportunity to watch this thing live... I did and this gesture just blew me away...huyu jaluo kweli ni wetu!!!! ... Cooooool!!!!! ....Bab-kubwa aisee!!!!!! Titchaz, Michelle is telling Obama here "give me five, woud nam" or "give me five, son of the Lake" and Obama roars back, "yeah, give me five, nyar loka" or "yeah give me five, daughter from overseas!! I love that picture and have stored it for the future posterity!!! Some white Americans are already complaining about that gesture, saying it does not befit a would-be US President!! And my question is, must blacks always behave like whites?? I mean, blacks have their unique typical ways of expressing their emotions just like the whites do!! What is the big deal???

Or may be I have a problem with my PC!! Just let me know if anyone has got any info, otherwise I try later again. Thanks!!

Perhaps we should start a General election thread and close the nomination thread? Again congrats to Barack! What do you guys think? I second this thought. We need to invoke Oloo to lock this out. McSame need a fresh thread.
