They don't understand that the "typewriter" in front of the "picture box" is capable of a lot more while they try to fit a whole letter into the subject box. Obama has pulled ahead by double digits in Michigan, a vital state that McCain thinks he will win. I think it's time to pack up the Straight Talk Express and drive down to the South where he can pitch is dillusional agenda to the NASCAR crowd.

If you don't like Obama vote for McCain and stop calling the man names but when you do you better pray that your under 35 yrs old and can't be drafted. Also, you better pray you will still be employed. I care about the future of my grandchildren , and all young people. I am a military brat and I don't want another young person dying or becoming disabled in a war that was waged under a pretense of a BIG FAT LIE!
No McCain!

The republican will use the same strategy they use with John Kerry. They will scare the people when we get close to the election. If Obama still ahead in poll, they will fake the final result. I hope that the people of this country will be smart enough to select the right choice. Bush & Mccain put this country in a hole that it is very difficult & impossible to get out of it. The damage can NOT be repaired. It will take generations to fix what this guy (Bush) has done. I am sure Obama will NEVER make it. The republican will use the same strategy they use with John Kerry.

He has earned it. He will receive the majority votes from blue-collar workers, push with union members and Hispanic voters that will make the difference in the electoral count. His military service, interest in a credible immigration plan, experience and moderate stance on most issues makes him the better candidate regardless of party affiliation. Hillary Clinton would have gotten my vote as well as my friends but we are now with McCain, in spite of his being a Republican, as this is in our opinion best for all Americans. Obama really has not accomplished much in the past, i.e., military, legislatively, nor in the business sense and is not a moderate by any means or imagination. He is a great orator but then so are a few of my friends who have likewise accomplished little and the highlights of their lives are inconsequential. That's what I think.

Meanwhile, Obama is ahead nationally and will win ALL the Kerry states plus Colorado, Nevada, Iowa, New Mexico, Ohio and maybe even Missour and Virginia. Can you say LANDSLIDE?

Interesting how CNN didn't update us on the polls after a string of polls came out over the weekend indicating the race was tied. I'm also wondering why CNN is not including the Rasmussen poll which has Obama ahead by just 2 or 3 points, which has been consistent over the past few days.

Obama was right all along?? He said the surge would fail, now he just changed his website to says it's worked and he know he it would. McCain doesn't have to win to know that he was right on the surge all along. He was critical many times of the way Bush and Rumsfeld fought the war, but he was consistent all along, all thru the primaries. Regardless of what you think about our getting in., McCain didn't waver or waffle and he was absolutely right about the surge and the political success that is following. So if you want consistency, vote for McCain. I'm for a timetable out of Iraq, but I'm still for McCain. Janel, have you had your head buried for the last year? Obama was right all along??
