That is if you can pry your fingers off your keyboards. Many states now have electronic voting machines and the usual poll workers (retirees) can't handle it if they breakdown. Anything that holds up the line, whether on purpose or not, will only help McCain just like it did for Bush. All of you young Obama supports better sign up to work at the polls on Election Day.

Breaking news, these speculators are beginning to get caught and charged for market manipulation. But the Republicans in the Senate continue to say it's not happening.

The Iraq government wants U.S. troop withdrawal, Senator Obama has called for that withdrawal for years, Afghanistan is becoming an increasingly dangerous project and Bin Laden has not been captured or killed. Obama's plans would save our soldiers and bring most of them home, it would go after a leader responsible for the death of thousands. McCain wants to stay in Iraq even against their wishes, he now wants to send the same number of troops to Afghanistan almost a year after Obama first called for more troops there. He voted against the current GI bill and yet the polls say over 40 percent of Americans still would vote for him. Hillary supporters say they are voting for McCain even though he doesn't believe a women has a right to control her own body and he wants to make abortions illegal. This is clearly the wrong vision of government that we need and I sincerely hope the "battleground" states will comprehend the facts, wieght the positions and understand exactly what is at risks.

No not be surprised America in November. I cannot wait to hear the crying! I think many liberals in this country will be shocked in November.

What ever they want to say McCain is not a George Bush. McCain is a fiscal conservative and that is what we need right now. Bush has spent every dime that Bill Clinton saved. Obama has no plan to save money like Clinton did. McCain does.

In these fically tough times, we need a president who saves money and pays bills, not puts everything on a credit card like Bush has.

No not be surprised America in November. I cannot wait to hear the crying!

Although I admire McCain for his service to this country, I am not buying that to be the reason why he would make a good President. Also, some seem to forget that those same people (those 2004 votors) went not for someone who fought for this country, but opted instead for a sitting President who's only claim to fame was 9/11 and the Texas Ranger's baseball team that he drove into the ground, which I believe had to do with the fear-factor campaign and nothing to do with true issues. This campaign mirrors the last. I was not taken in with all the smoke and mirrors last time, I will not be taken in this time. I think that shots of focus factor should be given to the candidates this time 'round.

I can understand why a republican would vote for McCain. I am having a very tough time understanding someone who is a true Independent will have any questions after having seen and heard both candidates. The difference is so obvious that you don't need to spend more than 5 minutes listening to McCain that he should not get your vote. I would have still votted for Obama even if the the candidates had switched their Parties. Come on lets do it! OBAMA 08 to bring this country back on track! Hello Independents:
