The original thread has been retired. After over 6000 posts and 89,000 merging and re-merging of threads and posts it has become necessary to start with a new thread. As the final the final stretch of the campaign for the US Presidency is underway it is paramount for our contributions to be organised as well hence this thread. At the end of the Elections the two thread would be both retired and hence have a two volume collection of our discussions and contributions on this historic election.

Please do continue.

Mkuu kuna uwezekano wa kuweka thread nzima ya Uchaguzi on Nov 5th? Just for a DAY?? Tunataka siku hiyo tuwe na some sort of "Meet the Press".

 

[Capitol Hill]

Ok..So McCain has lost the debate tonight. He's portrayed to the American people that he has anger problem. We do not need someone in the White House who is semi crazy and who's gonna be thinking about BOMB BOMB BOMB IRAN..while we've got a dozen of problems (foreign issues) such as the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, Darfur crisis, Moscow becoming a butt head, Chaves and his oil and his 3rd world allies, Guantanamo Bay, Syriah, North Korea, I mean the list goes on and on and on...
Now...It will be fun to know what the McCain strategy as of tomorrow is. Are they gonna keep attacking or adapt a quick tactical "stop the bleeding" initiatives? FOLKS..tomorrow will be a better day. Its 1:30 am central time....I need to get some rest...but this Disaronno taste soooooo good

 

[Susuviri]

Duh, JF Obama team! NIlikuwa silence maana debate nimeiangalia lakini after that usingizi won!!But I must say REv Kishoka, ile comment yako ya kutembeatembea kwa Babu nimecheka sana maana hata mimi nilipata wazo hilo! Naona mkojo ulimbana Babu akaona akikaa ataumbuka mzee mzima! That was very weird!!
Lakini ile THAT ONE ndo iliniacha hoi. Alipoitamka mara ya kwanza nilipiga kelele! I was very offended. That ??? That??? Obama is an object?? That ... nigger, that .... car.... that..... whatever! Even when you say that man, it is objectifying the person, usually used in accusatory terms like "that man stole my car"
I am surpsrised there was not more furor over this comment, lakini mpaka Wolf Blitzer (the rightwing nut of CNN) amekiri that with this comment McCain has clearly a 'disdain' for Obama. Imebidi nibaki nashangaa sana.
Overall Obama did an excellent job and I think that the fact that he kept his cool and came across intelligent and poised marks stark contrast with McCain but even few hours before Bush amabye alikuwa anaongea economy and looked waaaay out of his league!

Capitol Hill, I would however caution everyone that we should not get carried away and Nyani is right in this respect. The election is on Nov 4th, until then many things can happen. I am for one cautious and beleive that the Obama team has to work as if we are 10 points behind.
I am also 100% that the GOP will try to find some game changer like engineer the semblance of a terrorist attack - do y'all rememb'r the anthrax scare? Eti alikuwa a lone scientist who was ' bitter and angry' . Apparently he committed sucide so now it's over and done.... Yeah right! So I never underestimate the GOP and they are now bleeding heavily!

Ona na wewe!! Dems wangekuwa kwenye White House sasa unge accuse GOP kwa ku engineer financial crisis....nyinyi liberals mnachekesha sana.

McCain won the debate, period. But debates rarely win you the White House. Go ask that wingnut with an ugly wife aka John Kerry. Afterall, people won't be talking about the debates after next week......

Sasa mbona una schizophrenia??? Unasema ameshinda debate, mara una-claim it doesn't matter alafu unamtaja Kerry as if your candidate just lost the debate. We sema tu ukweli babu yako kawaaibisha vibaya sana katika debate ya jana! Alafu juzi ile "Kill him" uli-shout wewe nini, Nyani? If so shauri lako! Wanakutafuta!!!

The Secret Service is following up on media reports today that someone in the crowd at a McCain/Palin event suggested killing Barack Obama, according to Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley. The shout of "kill him" followed a Sarah Palin rant on Obama's relationship with radical Chicagoan Bill Ayers.

Debates hazimfanyi mtu ashinde uraisi wa Marekani. Kama hutaki jinyonge.

Remember, uchaguzi ni Nov.4 na sio leo, kesho, wala keshokutwa....

Lakini debates zinasaidia ku sway the undecideds. Debate hizi zimesaidia kuwadefine candidates. For Obama the comfort level ya wapiga kura imeongezeka. He can be trusted. Kwa Mc Palin ile ruka ruka yake imesaidia kuongeza mashaka juu yake na tangu aliposema kuwa fundamentals za uchumi ni solid amezidi kuonekana kuwa out of touch na regular voter, Palin's Joe sixpack comment notwithstanding.

Apparently Kerry's sweep in '04 didn't sway much......

Kerry might have won the debates, but he did not connect with Americans!

He was boring, aloof and too elitish with his complex presentation!
