	The BIG United States Presidential Election Thread! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

To prevent 500 threads being created tonight and tomorrow on various polls and issues which may sway the election, let's all talk about the election in one thread. All the little issues and the big ones in one massive blow-out. This will save those who don't give a damn about it until it's all over. And the 'Who Will Win' is almost at 500 posts.

I'll start by saying CNN has on their site that at least 6 states are evenly split. I wonder after Florida in 2000 how the media networks are going to be calling states. It should be interesting to see if they are ultra-conservative in their predictions.

If Bush wins, you may never have to bother with them again.

	Got spare money?

I have seen about 5 commercials for the presidential campaign this whole year-mostly on cable news.

For some insane reason, I have seen more ads for Bergen County Sheriff than I have for the senate race here in NY- how much money do candidates for Bergen County Sheriff spend, that they buy airtime in the biggest TV market in the US?

I actually have seen very few ads. I'm just kinda sick of the whole thing though.

Apparently (from a quick Google search), it's an incredibly nasty race. I'm guessing this an exception to normal campaign spending in Bergen County.

Sounds like a good plan.

This will become the official thread, and I will just delete new threads until people get the message that this is the thread

I mostly just watch cartoon network and comedy central, so I've mostly avoided the ramifications of living in Ohio while watching tv (I've yet to see one of the swift-boat ads). Unfortunately, my morning and evening commutes are now filled with obnoxious radio ads, though it's somewhat amusing to have political rants interpersed with Pink Floyd.

Are you voting for Ed or Number 1? I might consider Plank.

I doubt it. I don't think any will get more than 1%.. though Badnarik may have a chance and if he helps Bush lose will gain his party a LOT of media attention that they never get usually.

It hasn't stopped the Greens from being ignored. Why would the Libs suddenly get noticed?

hmm, Nader's causing Gore to lose forced the democrats to lean more to the left this presidential election. I wonder if the libertarians forcing the Republicans to lose will force the Republicans away from the religious right. They might actually be forced to run as fiscal conservatives instead of tax cut and spend.

But not Nader. It isn't like Nader ran like a traditional Green. Think about how much press Nader has gotten in the last cycle.

I'm voting Ed, since I'm operating on the assumption that Grim's going to off him before Ed can ever take office.

I was talking to RINO (Republican-In-Name-Only) Presidential candidate John Buchanan the other day and he said that Badnarik might get as much as a million votes.
