The next US President will be...
 I just heard this morning that Senator Barrack Obama (Illinois) is considering a run at the Oval Office in '08. Oh please, let this happen!!!!! He is 1 of the 2 politicians in Washington that does not yet seem corrupted by our system! If you've ever heard him speak, you probably noticed a well grounded, well spoken, intelligent young (for a politician) man that really seems to know where HE stands, and not just where his party thinks he should. If the democrats are serious about wanting the White House, this is the man they need to run. Not Hillary, not John Kerry and certainly not any of the lesser known people who's names are floating around... Hillary, Kerry, etc... are too polarized already. They are too far left to pull in the "gray area" voters (That's just a term I use to refer to those of us who vote every election, but hold no political affiliation to any certain party.) Obama is a moderate liberal and a middle of the road democrat and I honestly think that if he runs, he will win. Granted most of America probably hasn't even heard of him yet, let alone hear him speak, but once they do... Well, let me just introduce our next president. Now, the real icing on this cake will be if the Republicans get their act together too and give us the other middle of the road candidate that hasn't been corrupted by Washington yet.... Norm Coleman (Senator, Minnesota) He used to be a middle of the road Democrat and then switched to middle of the road Republican and that alone should tell you he has no problem standing up to the parties. If we get Coleman vs. Obama in 2008, I might just find myself having some restored faith in our political system because those 2 both actually seem like real people when you hear them. They don't seem like puppets and certainly not like deceitful politicians. They both seem to genuinely want what is best for their constituants and the people of the country and I'd be happy to vote for either...

I'm torn on this one. Yes I love Obama, but...
Horror thrives under Republican rule. It's part of thier public policy to push fear- and thus, protection. Just look at history... Eisenhower (R) in the 50s - horror explodes Kennedy and Johnson (D) in the 60's - horror fades away (or comes from England) Nixon and Ford (R) in late 60's early 70's - American Indie horror breaks new ground and big budget horror emerges Carter's (D) term in ther late 70's seems the exception - horror is still present Reagan & Bush Sr (R) in the 80s - the slasher film explodes Clinton (D) in the early 90s - the horror film goes out of fashion Bush Jr (R) late 90s to present - The Biggest push horror has ever seen My livelyhood my just depend on a Republican regime:mad:

I cant see a black president being elected in our lifetime.
too many crackers in the US - and people who dont think they are crackers - but are. the vast majority will always vote in the old rich white guy. being honest and 'unbuyable' is a strike against anyone too. very sad but true.

Maybe this is the time where a democrat will usher in a brand new era orf Horror movies. Maybe he is a closet horror fan and will get th enational endowment for the arts to start funding horror projects!
A man can dream, cant he?

hardly any canadians know about the canadian elections :) there hasnt been anyone flamboyant in 'power' here since pierre elliot trudeau, although we did have this other gnarly french canadian guy who ran over a sleeping drunk with his car. we've done a pretty good job at seperating church and state so far - but we're seeing a threat of it on the horizon.. re leprechauns ... its too fucking cold for them up here ...

i also really like obama - saw him on Charlie Rose the other day and he reminded me of clinton without all the slick-ness but with the charisma and confidence.
that said, i fear its too early for obama who won't even see out his first senate term. i also fear that the likely republican is a prohibitive favorite - McCain. personally i think mccain is much more right-wing than the general public realizes. . . but lots of democrats i know say they would vote for mccain because he is a 'straight shooter' - whatever that means
