John McCain's daughter, Meghan McCain said she would get a "Live free or Die" tattoo if New Hampshire helped her father win the election. Another blogger on Boston.com said that he would organize tax protests if McCain won. A lot of bloggers discussed how they would flee the country if their candidate did not win. An example was "If Obama doesn't win I am moving my family to Iceland."It is pretty harsh to say that you would flee the country if your candidate does not win. I believe that you should be patient and just hope that you can chose a better candidate in the next four years.
Another blogger said, "If McCain doesn't win, I am moving to a place with lower taxes and more safety." There were a few people who said that the economy is pretty messed up and that no political figure will be able to completely resolve such a problem. Most of the bloggers on yahoo.com believe that it would not matter who wins and that is because any president is better than bush and McCain or Obama would both be a good replacement.
From reading the blogs, I noticed that there are a ton of Obama supporters who believe that McCain will only make things worse and follow George Bush’s trail. Others think that Obama is too young and is looked at as a celebrity rather than a political figure, and he is going to take everything as a joke. I believe that people should do more research before they decide to blog about what they think and why they think so. Most of the comments were about how McCain is better than Obama because he is older, and how Obama is better than McCain because he is young and has to learn a lot.

I wouldn't take the "if Candidate X doesn't win I'm moving to another country" comments too seriously.
Of course, if people are serious about them, then that just shows how important people feel this election is (although it is a bit drastic).
i agree that people should have relevant information to talk about if they are posting a blog. Complaning about candidates ages and not their views will not get you anywhere.
