There are so many roadblocks along the way, to the point where you'd need a telescope to see the glimmer of hope in all this, but I'd have to say that I'd be thrilled to see this ticket.

Nightmarish logistics, but if this ticket was formed as an actual partnership (instead of a gimmick ticket), it'd be a pretty exciting thing for American politics.

Any thoughts?

    ...and said he preferred campaigning for candidates instead of against their opponents.

    So true, so very true. That's where I think the work should be headed. But no, it seems some weird detail of from vietnam matters more than the political agenda of the candidates. So, I believe the exciting thing for American politics would be a candidate, for any position, who tried to run by telling people what he could do for the country, not why the country has no choice but to choose him.

    its difficult for us across the ocean to follow the election because many things just arent in the news...

    but it seems to me and some of the people i know that for many americans it is more important if a presidant believes in god, has had just one wife and is happily married

    kind of strange to us


    how many candidates will there be over all? just kerry and bush? or will there be more?
    and which important political partys are there in addition to republicans and democrats

    Those are the two dominant parties. There will likely be a Green Party candidate, a Libertarian candidate, and others, but they're pretty much inconsequential... candidates from outside parties have a lot of trouble getting on the ballot in all 50 states and seldom garner more than a handful of votes nationally.

    Like McCain said, I don't see how in the blazes the Democratic party would let it happen, but if it did I would definitely vote their way.

    *edit* then again, i'd probably vote for any party mccain was in <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    another awesome thing that is totaly different to our elections: the huge amount of money the candidates need

    on the one hand because of how big the usa is and of the other hand i think its how the fight for votes is organized

    i dont really want to know how many millions of dollars are spent...
    and many of those come from big companys who want something

    the problem is: there is no other way...

    but whatever will happen, it will be an interesting election <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
    hope it wont happen the same thing as with gore and bush where votes got lost O.o



    remember, just my 2 cents <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
