Better for Boulder/Boulder Co. - Obama or McCain?
Which presidential candidate and adm. would be better for Boulder/Boulder Co. (as a whole)? Obama or McCain?
Would an Obama economy/eco plan or a McCain economy/eco plan be better for you and your family given your current situation and ALSO the state of local and national issues (e.g. high energy costs, inflation, jobs, etc).

Given my current situation which presidential candidate and adm. would be better, Obama or McCain?
I'm not sure, what are their positions on the death penalty? Oh wait, I'm not sure I'm allowed to vote.

Particularly for this election, in the wise words of Jello Biafra:"Nobody for president!" Or, like all the sheeple, throw yourselve's at Obama the Messiah's feet!!

It shocks me that so many in Boulder would drink the Kool-Aide for Obama.
It also surprises me in Boulder after "pastorgate" peaked that Boulderites didn't even consider giving Hil (and Bill) another look.

I voted for Hlllary.
Between the two left, I would say this: my vote is not only dependent on what is better for me personally. It depends on who I think will do a better job for the world my children will inherit--whether that means I will have to pay a little extra in taxes or not.

Who knows? It's all hindsight. I'd like to see us out of Iraq, but that's not a local issue, except as it affects some locals being sent over there. And I don't know if Obama can do it, anyway. |

Well from the primaries Boulder County voted 74% for Obama so I would say the Boulderites have spoken. Personally I don't think McCain or Obama is good for Colorado, we don't need more government.
