Ok so im in my living room and were watching the race between Obama and Hillary. Than my parents said the dumbest thing ever. I would never vote for Obama because of his name. Now that is the most racist thing ever. I mean would you vote for someone because of his name, or his political views?

People do all the time it's called name recognition. Which is why people spend so much on advertising. I personally would not.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

i dont care about the name i care what there going to for me and the country as a whole ( BTW im not old enough to vote so i guess i dont count)

I would vote base on names. After all, when you go into the poll, you don't get a picture of the person, you get 'names'. ;)

Out of the two, I'd vote for Obama for sure.

I would vote for Obama just because he has a cooler name than Clinton does, not to mention that I know a few really annoying people with the first name of Clinton.

Of course not. I would never vote on some based on the name alone.

I once ran into a guy named "Great President". No joke.

He seemed like he'd make a good candidate to me. I'd vote for him. ^^

I tend to mix up Obama with Osama Bin'Ladin.

I won't post cause Lemieux wasn't as good as Maurice "The Rocket" Richard.
