    Almost 50% of them voted for the other guy. It really should be praise the small majority of americans in Ohio and Virginia.

    Or should it be - does their voting system still make sense when the decision is effectively made by less than a quarter of the states?

    I have noticed that a lot of the campaigning was not so much "Vote for me, not the other guy" as it was "Don't forget to go and vote". Makes me wonder how representative it really is.

    Not that the UK is a lot better....
    I need to think of something new here...

    I guess they got over their racist inhibitions now.

    Obama i think is the right choice.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    Obama and Romney have the same face? I'd better get my eyes tested, they look different to me.

    No they are in fact different people. Thanks for helping clear this up.

    I think he means that the face of the next president is the same as the face of the current incumbent.

    Offered in reply to: "Same !!!!, different face", posted by someone who presumably believes Romney won.
    There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.

    Thanks for that Azari. I think as you would agree Thumbremote was attempting to start a "straw man argument" :)
