People would rather have an ex-professor teaching their students over an ex-pilot? Whodathunkit.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 05:18:03 PM  
Well, considering Obama has been one...

 
Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 05:55:19 PM  
Obama teaching my kid? Farking awesome.

McCain teaching my kid? Uh...time to talk to the Dean about getting my kid moved to some other class.

 
irliteach [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 06:26:05 PM  
As a teacher, I can imagine Obama to be the teacher that every kid wants to have.

McCain would be the teacher that every kid comes into my class complaining about.

 
Cagey B [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 06:30:33 PM  
I don't particularly care if candidates want to be my buddy, or teach my kids. Mostly, I'd like them to not horribly fark the country. That'd be nice.

 
EwokHunter 2008-09-19 06:43:24 PM  
Hey, us remedial kids need a Maverick to lead us!

Well you'd be hard pressed to find one with that quality in this day and age. That's why so many people actually vote based on BS like this.

Yeah, but for Show and Tell McCain kicks ASS!

 
moralpanic 2008-09-19 06:47:36 PM  
That would be so awesome.

Just like how Tony Blair has taken a position at Yale. If it was closer to me, i would so take his courses.

 
T-Luv 2008-09-19 06:49:19 PM  
Is there a poll asking who you'd rather go to Denny's with for some pancakes?

He can show them his new blackberry that he invented.

Meaningless. I'm an Obama supporter, but if the poll question was who you'd rather have picking up your garbage twice a week, Obama would win that, too.

/Eagerly anticipating the debates

Epsilon: Meaningless. I'm an Obama supporter, but if the poll question was who you'd rather have picking up your garbage twice a week responsible for anything, anytime, whatsoever, Obama would win that, too.

FTFY

POW! Now who's better qualified?

 
chipspastic 2008-09-19 06:54:33 PM  
Hmmm. Harvard Law Review editor or bottom 1% of his graduating class? That's a tough one.

 
ThisSideofSteinway 2008-09-19 06:55:08 PM  
I don't know - I was under the impression that Obama would start handing out Secret Muslin Condoms to all the children...

/or something like that.

Harvard Law Review president actually.

Just checked 538 and they've updated their numbers again for the day. Obama's back up above 300 for projected electoral votes, with a win % of 71% -- that's near or above his record high before the RNC.


From their site now:

"Changes of this velocity are unusual outside of the convention periods and the debates, especially in close elections. It took John McCain about 60 days and tens of millions of advertising dollars to whittle Obama's lead down from roughly 5 points at its peak in early June, to the 1-point lead that Obama held heading into the conventions. Obama has swing the numbers that much in barely a week.

Of course, we never really were entirely outside of gravitational field of the conventions, and probably at least half of this bounceback for Obama is merely the more-or-less inevitable consequence of McCain's convention bounce ending. But the fact is that Obama is in a stronger position now than he was immediately before the conventions. We now have him winning the election 71.5 percent of the time, which is about as high as that number has been all year."

I really wish they didn't show headlines like this, hope makes me nauseous.

Eventually Grandpa gets old enough, and senile enough....that you just dont wanna leave him alone with the kids. I mean he might try to change thier batteries or something. Maybe snap and think they are V.C.

Dementia a natural process, almost beautifull in a way.

/wouldnt let Palin anywhere near my kids, prob come back all preachy and shiat.

Absolutely this!

Especially if he's the instructor in Flight School.....

Obama is the type of guy I'd like to read the Qur'an with.

Yeah but McCain is the guy I'd like to sing it with

I just wish he'd stop giving me all the free cigarettes and then staring at me while he waits for me to die of lung cancer.

 
captain_heroic44 2008-09-19 07:43:58 PM  
McCain would flip out and throw a temper tantrum. Then he'd try to nuke someone.

 
kleppe 2008-09-19 07:46:43 PM  
Thank goodness we're not holding an election for a teacher

I think we're only a few days away from a poll asking "Who would you rather kick in the balls"

 
TheShavingofOccam123 [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 07:52:53 PM  
You remember that thing we had about 30 years ago called the Korean conflict? And how we failed to achieve victory? How come we didn't cross the 38th parallel and push those rice-eaters back to the Great Wall of China? Then take the farking wall apart brick by brick and nuke them back into the farking stone age forever? Tell me why! How come? Say it! Say it!

McCain has said that vaccines may cause autism.

So yeah, he'd be great in a science classroom...
