All About McCain

[tracilicious]

A New Zealander expat I know says that NZ govt is becoming more and more like US repub govt. I was talking about moving there to get away from here as well.

Our friends who are currently living in Scotland (only temporarily, they'll be back here early next year) are also mentioning New Zealand if McCain wins.

To be honest, I don't know what I'd do in that possible event. I do still feel that blues should stay and fight to keep America balanced....but if in the wake of the Bush Admin we still can't elect a Democrat to the White House......???

So positivity, hope and change have expiration dates of 11/04/08?

The world continues on the fifth of November no matter what the outcome is. Life goes on... rah!

Might I offer a 3rd way;

If you want to stay and fight move to a swing state. Otherwise might as well leave. I mean..... What can you do in California that you can't do from New Zealand or Malaysia?

Actually California is pretty much a purple state. As Alex has pointed out, local politics is red, national politics is blue.

Fair enough. But if the reason you are leaving or staying be because of the Party who is in charge of the White House........would it not be more effective to live in a swing state such as Ohio, or even Nevada?

You assume the impetus is to fix things. I believer her point is that if the perceived disaster of the Bush administration isn't enough to prod a national course correction, perhaps it's time to give up.

I'm just afraid that after four years of McCain/Palin, there won't any place left in the civilized world that we won't be at war with...

I'm not leaving.
But I am moving as far away as I can from Washington DC and still be in the US of A.
