		<description>I am subscribing to rss feeds of this comments.  This widget has started interesting discussion. I think every blog should have this widget and every body, even he is not us citizen, should cast his vote. After all  everybody on this planet gets affected by the polices of the  President of US.</description>

		<description>The poll shows the systemic bias on the Internet towards liberals ... can&#039;t say its a very interesting poll, pretty much what anybody would expect.</description>

		<description>LOL! I&#039;m not sure I understand you people.  What exactly makes &quot;Barack Obama&quot; qualified to be PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? The guy&#039;s a weenie!  The only people who should be voting for OBAMA are vegans, urban women, and Anderson Cooper.

Have you people LISTENED to him? he&#039;s just some goofy twin of John Kerry --- he doesn&#039;t take a stand on anything!  N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

Don&#039;t believe me?  Read it for yourself!  See if you can figure out what his plan is for ANYTHING!  LOL:

http://origin.barackobama.com/issues/

Q: Senator Obama, what is your plan for a nuclear Iran?
Sen. Obama: &quot;i believe in HOPE&quot;

Q: Senator Obama, how would you reduce illegal immigration?
Sen. Obama:  &quot;We need real solutions, not divisiveness&quot; [LOL!!]

Q: Senator Obama, how would you prevent terrorists from attacking people back here?
Sen. Obama:  &quot;We need better chemical plant and drinking water security&quot;  

Seriously!  NO JOKING! Go read for yourself!</description>

		<description>Actually it demonstrates your stupidity, because I&#039;m quoting another website, and you are attaching those words to me. 

Go there and look at the quotes. Stop following someone blindly, just because they are black and have a good smile. Thats the definition of racist, you are giving someone preference based on the color of their skin. Take away Obama&#039;s color and he has nothing...the reason Obama&#039;s record is even remotely clean, is because he haven&#039;t been in politics long enough.

Ron Paul on the other hand has been in politics for DECADES, and still has the most integrity and the cleanest record</description>

		<description>Andrew – I can’t take you seriously. Sorry. A couple points: 

1-This anti-Israel/pro-Palestine debate needs to end. There&#039;s more to it than anti/pro. It&#039;s not black and white. Grow up.

3-&quot;Never accepts responsibility&quot; - I think my 11-year old cousin helped you with this comment. No wait, he couldn&#039;t have. He has Muslim roots and can actually formulate thoughtful ideas through writing.

4,5,6,7,8,9-All of these points imply that Obama is just &quot;shady.&quot; And he must be! He&#039;s black and has &quot;Muslim roots&quot;! I think 99% of people in this country have used cocaine, failed to pay a few parking tickets, etc. At least he doesn&#039;t BS and say stupid stuff like &quot;I never inhaled&quot;. No, he puts it out there. Seems to me that you have a problem with people owning up to their decisions. You’ve also contradicted yourself… because you said in #3 that he never accepts responsibility. Nice one, sir.

Andrew, your comments demonstrate the stupidity of America these days. Thanks to your caliber of reasoning, we are stuck with Bush for a second term. Thanks for making America a dumber place.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with Chris. Most media are treating a Bloomberg candidacy seriously. Why isn&#039;t he in there? Is it because the system can&#039;t handle independent candidates?</description>

		<description>my main reason to support Ron Paul is that he is a man of his word, if he says he&#039;ll do something you know he will do it.

All others are typical politicians telling you everything you want to ehar to get elected</description>

		<description>Great idea.

@Andrew:
He has Muslim roots, supports Palestine and his name is Hussein Obama. Let&#039;s not vote him!

Seriously, those 9 points are bulshit.
1. So what, the other candidates are pro Israel, how good is that??
2. 3. Hear hear.
4. Would you refuse money from anyone? BTW - Kerry was a Skull &amp; Bones puppet elitist and distant cousin of Bush. Elections are staged.
5. 6. 7. 8. Ohhhh..
9. He must be some terrorist, then.

The biggest reason you should support Paul instead of Osama is that Paul follows the constitution. That means he&#039;ll abolish the evil Federal Reserve (who admitted they caused the Great Depression) and the IRS, stops cooperating with all one world government interest groups who are destroying the country right now and respect privacy and personal libery like no other candidate.

		<description>I think this will only be useful if it is combined with another poll that asks, &quot;what do  you think is a fair tax rate for yourself&quot;, then lists six choices, &quot;85%, 65%, 50%, 25%, and 15%&quot;.

Then voters can juxtapose the way they TRULY feel with regard to their government with which candidate they actually voted for.

Ha ha, LOL.</description>

		<description>well I went to your blog, and I only found 2 Obama posts.

If I missed any feel free to correct me

1-Obama Hotness-a link to another blog, with a description of cafepress type stuff you can buy
2-Barack Obama is the &#039;ish-this one has a little bit more substance.

-here is why you like him from what I can gather(once again feel free to correct me)
1) Obama tells the truth
2) Obama can write
3) Obama uses myspace, facebook, etc to spread his message

I disagree with you on #1, he may tell the truth...but he is yet to propose anything solid...and when he does, he always fails to mention where the money is coming from.

Conclusion? he is a tyspical soundbyte politician who promises you the world but doesn&#039;t show any substance. Look beyond his posture and smile and see him for who he really is.

And since we are on Obama, here is a site with some dirt on him:
http://www.oppodepot.com/obama.html

1-he is pro palestine
2-he violated congressional ethics rules
3-never accepts responsibility
4-accepted money from a group who was responsible for sinking Kerry&#039;s candidacy 
5-never paid parking tickets until recently
6- shady real estate deal
7-his wife got a shady promotion and a raise that was 3x her salary
8-used cocaine
9-muslim roots

now some of those are BS and not so bad, but others are very shady</description>

3-never accepts responsibility<br />
4-accepted money from a group who was responsible for sinking Kerry&#8217;s candidacy<br />

		<description>Yep, we released our Facebook version of ElectionVine a few weeks ago at: http://apps.facebook.com/elections . It&#039;s got about 125,000 users so far.

With regards to vote skewing on our app (esp. with regards to Ron Paul), we have several mechanisms in place designed to root out block voting, but of course it&#039;s probably going to be cat-and-mouse from now until the run up to the primaries. :)</description>
