Chicago Speaks

This month’s question:
What are your feelings on the upcoming election?

 

Stacey | Englewood
“It’s a crock of bull. I personally like Barack Obama, but McCain is just too old. He should just pack it in and call it a day.”

 

 

 

 

Desam | Gold Coast
“I’m a Republican myself, so I’m votiing for McCain. But I want to know more about his stance on certain things and for him to make his plan clearer.”

 

 

 

 

Andrew | Lakeview
“I say it’s a sham. The Republicans and Democrats are a fraternal brotherhood, and they should both be outlawed.”

 

 

 

 

Lizzie | Lincoln Square
“I guess I feel like whoever gets elected into office, that with our country such a mess in every aspect, you’re not going to agree with everything they do.”

 

 

 

 

Debbie | Roscoe Village
“I’m not voting because I’m here on a visa from Columbia, but I like McCain because he’s supported my country, much like Bush has.”

 

 

 

 

Mike | Lakeview
“I think Obama’s going to win based on what polls are showing. I’m happy with that because I think he’s the best overall candidate. He’s about getting out the war, and I’ve got a friend set to head over there soon.”

 

 

 

 

Libby | Lakeview
“I’m very excited about the number of people who are interested in the election. Everything in the U.S. seems to be falling apart, so it’s gotten everybody motivated to get involved.”

 

 

 

 

Kellie | Lakeview
“I think it’s a critical election, and the outcome will definitely affect everyone. It’s something everyone is talking about. My friends and I are all between 28 and 30, and we’re definitely talking more about politics than we ever used to.”
