Here in Australia once you turn 18 you have to registar with the Australian Electroal Commission and you MUST vote in the elections once you are registared. If you don't you get fined.

I think the U.S. should make voting mandatory also. The republican party probably wouldn't stand a chance if this was mandatory.

If I heard correctly, Obama is leading in the polls for South Carolina.

Are these the same polls that had obama up by 13 points in the New Hampshire primary? I don't care who takes SC, I just want hillary/obama to stop the back and forth its ridiculous.

The way I see it....Obama and Hillary look more like a married couple than two candidates vying for a nomination to be president

A Clinton/Obama ticket would look very good.

A little O/T here

I would have to say that my Fav president of all time was JFK. Even though I would have only just turned 2 at the time.

I went to the US in 1997 and one of the places I went to was Washington DC and I did go to Arlington cementry (sp)

My views agree most with Mitt Romney.

Looks like Obama won SC, so much for hillary's smear campaign. I hope they cut out the back and forth in the future, seriously it just makes them both look bad.

Why did they turn Obama's supporter rally into a hip hop convention???? Thats not good. An why do I have a feeling that because 81% of AA voters voted for obama is gonna backfire somehow?

Is it true that Obama is Muslim and does not salute the Flag?

That is NOT true. Most likely a lie created by his opposers to bring him down. Obama is a baptized Christian and has been for the past 20 years

I took it and matched the most with Mike Gravel...although, on another quiz, I matched the best with Dennis Kucinich with Hillary Clinton as second place. Since Kucinich has no chance of getting the nomination (especially now since he dropped), my first pick would be Hillary Clinton..and I voted for her in the primary
