To Barbara in NC above:
Strangely enough, we received letters this morning from our election officials (we are very rural in this voting district) that due to space limitations and expected turnout on Nov. 4, they are moving our polling site 16 miles away from the old one so they can accomodate the expected voter turnout. Yay!

Keep going, Obama, do NOT let them get away with lies and no plans to help us regular people.

I wish Sarah would talk about her views such as: anti abortion even in cases of rape and incest, teaching abstinence only in school, she fought against putting the polar bear on the endangered list, believes that humans have NOT contributed to global warming, supports teaching creationism in school, and is obviously against separation of church and state since she would like to allow prayer in school. It seems she doesn't believe in anything that is actually scientific.Maybe if people knew where she stands they could make a more informed choice. I believe she will help to bring us backward, especially women.

Where are the jobs! Mr. McCain, you have served the country for 26 years, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE JOBS? Where are our American jobs going?

Ms Wright,

Cite where you've read that Sarah has called Barack Obama "Sambo", otherwise it can only be concluded you've made this charge up.

"So sambo beat the b_tch" that was Palin's response when she found out about the outcome of the DNC primaries. Google it.

Palin can fabricate her "agent of change" story and market herself as a reformer but the record is clear if the media chooses to report it. Palin was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it, worked with lobbyists to secure earmarks for her po-dunk town and then left it in debt anyway, has a history of abuse of power and lied about a small details such as how she sold the Govenor's plane.

I'd love to see a women as VP or President but she's not the one.

Awww. Barry's hitting back. OUch. Ouch.
One of those earmarks Gov. Palin got for her town were on TV the other night: a new community center. It was a great use of federal funds. She also got money for sewers. That kind of "earmark" is always what that program has been about.

McSame and Pit Bull with lipstick : As we say in French "Plus ça change plus c'est la même chose" (The more change, the more of the same).

GOP is headed for a 16 year winter ! ! ! !
Wear warm clothing, GOP!

OBAMA '08, 12
Hillary 16, 20

It seems the Presidency is way above Obama's pay grade so he is now after Republican's VP candidate. Great for CNN's well-balanced act.

The only change McCain has offered is to keep changing his mind and campaign strategy everytime he figures out how bad it is going.
The only change we will see from Palin is that everything she has said is now being investagated and vetted and as change would have it She Lies about almost everything.She was a Mayor of a small town of 5000 when she started and she did very little as she was caught in too many suspicious firings and the town stood up and made her have an administration that had to approve all her decisions.Read all about it. Just Google Anne Kilkenny.Palin is a joke and overstated her experience more then any other politician ever has and as time go's on there will be more truth about all of her lies.For those of you that findit difficult, close your eyes and remember what she says then fact check it and 90% of the time it is a lie or overstated.She does match the 90% of Bush McCain policies.

Obama has the plan we need. Obama/Biden is the agent of change.

McPalin stop stealing from the DEMS!!!!!

McPalin are liars and they know it…….

Does Sara know that when a man calls a woman a pitt bull its referring to that woman as the lowest a woman can be! D..! So Sara I wouldn't be so proud of that nick name!

You know why McCalmnow and Paliar because they could not believe that the GOP took to the lies like bees to honey. So old dumb man and shera oops pitbull they think you is as stupid as McCalmnow team on an interview on CNN.

Watch Paliar will repeat everything she said over and over again because it took her a weekend and three days to learn she has nothing else to say. Oh, tell her I dont like her lipstick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Republicans think we are stupid? How about you think we are stupid? You [Obama] flip floper haven't done much since you are a U.S Senator, you spent almost half of those times running for President, and when you were Senator, you voted 163 times present just to protect your political career. Tell me Obama, how can I hand the future of this country to you when you can't even vote "yes" or "no", with no executive experience and just that motor mouth of yours not going to get my vote!

Hey Mike, McCain is no longer a maverick!. In his own words on tape he said he voted in line with bush. That's no maverick, that's a pupet! Former Dem Mike? hey, will let you come back from the dark side.

MSNBC called the McCain campaign out for the lies. Please watch the "MSNBC TV" collection on the web. I had high hopes for McCain in January, thinking that this will finally be a civil debate between two great men about issues. The reality is disgusting. Either McCain is too old, or he think the American public is too stupid.

We need a credible "EMT" immediately for our ECONOMY, our HEALTHCARE system, to end the WAR immediately, to fix the broken SOCIAL SECURITY system, to immediately REPAIR OUR GLOBAL standing, and to fix our EDUCATION system.

Not an easy job. Not easy to be qualified. Not easy to have the discipline to have the bigger picture. But EASY to understand that if we don't vote on ISSUES, our entire lifestyles will be SEVERELY HURT. Your entire savings and pensions depend on your researching the ISSUES.

When you look at the ISSUES every Ameican is concerned about, McCain and Palin are no where near the level of competence required to work well on any of these issues. With McCain voting the same as George Bush 95% of the time, there is NO WAY he's representing 'CHANGE'. He is representing a lie.

I'm in no way willing to take the chance on McCain that the 5% of the time that he wasn't taking the George Bush road will be for anything substantial to help this country. Too much is at stake, McCain blew his chance when he voted with George Bush repeatedly 95% of the time.

Is Obama really that arrogant to think that he has a monopoly on change? The fact is, McCain was always known as a maverick in the Republican party. That is, until he got the nomination and the Obama people started trying to say he was Bush III. It's funny that people will ignore McCain's record of being a progressive, moderate Senator just because Obama says so.

NOT THIS TIME

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Republicans don't think Americans are stupid…they KNOW Americans are stupid. So does every other country on the planet, especially China.

Obama spins with all the others when it comes to change. I'll vote for him but the only change he'll bring is swapping out a republican for a democrat. He should stop smearing the woman. Tell the truth Obama.

President Carter was the first modern president who used CHANGE in his campaign. And since then I have seen this phrase in several other presidental campaigns…since obama is the ONE does he now own the English Language and no one else can say a word he once uttered.

i just happy to see that everyone is seeing what im seeing …mccain is playing us to winn….OBama wants to help us….i just dont see how some ppl see mccain doing anything for us……JUST watch obama constantly talk issues ….palin and maccain…just talk war and obama and there history of changee…….that snice but will that help my wallet…\

Obama wants to help

More people watched McCAINS SPEECH THEN OBAMAS.

I meant to say but I am sure neither of these posts will never see the light of day any way on the this site anyway so it doen't matter does it???

Uh Mike, ya ever heard of JFK, yeah, about the same amount of experience as BHO, oh yeah and remember that guy Abraham Lincoln, yeah, was a US rep on term and the didn't run again cause he would have lost and ran for senate and never even made it. So lets see two of our best presidents with very little experience, and lets look at some people with a ton of experience, Nixon, he was around for 2 decades, know he did a knock up job didn't he. Experience can help, judgment and integrity I think speak as loudly if not louder. McCain leaves his wife, for another woman, flys around in private jets, uses his POW status like a pimp. Read about history my friend…. not all with experience have it figured out…. give Barack another think….

About time Obama! Republicans are such hyprocrites!

Obama 2008-2016

It's not about an American Idol for President. We have issues in this country that are SO SEVERE, if we don't fix them in the next few months, our country will be dying an unnecessary death. We need a credible "EMT" for our ECONOMY, our HEALTHCARE system, to end the WAR immediately, to fix the broken SOCIAL SECURITY system, to immediately REPAIR OUR GLOBAL standing, and to fix our EDUCATION system.

Not an easy job. Not easy to be qualified. Not easy to have the discipline to have the bigger picture. But EASY to understand that if we don't vote on ISSUES, our entire lifestyles will be SEVERELY HURT. Your entire savings and pensions depend on your researching the ISSUES.

When you look at the ISSUES every Ameican is concerned about, McCain and Palin are no where near the level of competence required to work well on any of these issues. With McCain voting the same as George Bush 95% of the time, there is NO WAY he's representing 'CHANGE'. He is representing a lie.

It's common for politicians copy each other's lines, but what McCain has been doing is so blatantly copying practically ANYTHING that was originated by Obama. McCain decided that they want a "historiy making" candidate since Obama is one, so they whip out Palin. Then all of a sudden McCain/Palin are "change agents" when it's been Obama's slogan for 20 months, What's next?

The only thing I have heard that is truth that came out of Palin's mouth is that she is pitbull. Apparently, she is so overly aggressive that she will mow down anything that comes in her way of getting what she wants, that if you do no agree with her, she takes it personally and will make you pay and her ambition lies above and beyond her family and her integrity. Is this what America wants to lead this country? Give me a break.

How can any thinking person say Obama is an 'agent of change' when - as Palin pointed out - the man has written TWO memoirs but sponsored ZERO legislation - including the entire two years the Democrats have run Congress?

This 'agent of change' picks a Washington insider of 30 years - and says he's still about change?

I also see Democrats are starting to whine about attacks (funny how they never call them 'attacks' when they do it, though). Is it the attack that bothers them?

Or the fact the attack might cause them to lose?

Obama needs to watch what he says about Palin. It will come back to haunt him. I am a Hillary Democrat and am still considering how I will vote. Obama is quickly losing my confidence with these types of attacks.

Keep it up Obama day after day after day. Speak the truth. Smack down every lie. We want nothing less than that from you. Take off the gloves and show them we're not going to play nice. In your face McCain…YEAH BABY

McCain believes that Palin will give him the advantage to win some of Hillary supporters; however. democratic party women are smarter than this desperate attempt for McCain's last chance to run for the Presidency.

Well, there's some truth to that, why else pundits keep asking why hasn't Obama gained more in the polls of polls with a weak economy and the low approval rating of Bush??

I'm watching CNN…while McCain/Palin are repeating the "clap lines" from the RNC, Obama just had a press confernce about the US planned bail out of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Hmmm, let's see, which sounds like the activities of a Future President?

Well at least Sarah Palin realized she was wrong to like them in the first place - of course, Obama has never seen an earmark he didn't like. It takes a Stong person (WOMAN in this instance) to change and do what's right - Obama refuses to admit he was wrong about the surge. Keep talking BO - and reminding us all just how much you like earmarks and pork spending - you are turning into the Republican's 2nd best weapon, behind Sarah, of course.

I used to like McCain. He's changed.

Palin is a mess. The church she attends sounds like they preach stuff 10x more inflammatory than anything out of the mouth of Rev. Wright!

The Republicans have had their big chance and blown it completely. No way in heck am I going to vote them back in. Obama is the true straight-talker here. I look forward to his presidency!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

"Obama: Republicans must think you’re stupid"

Exactly. Well said.

Anyone who votes GOP this time is a total IDIOT DUPE!

McCain a maverick? A Washington outsider?

The same McCain who himself has admitted on camera that he's voted with Bush over 90% of the time, and I quote "more than even most of my" fellow Republicans? Get real, grandpa…

After watching the Republican GOP I was totally turned off by statements from Sara Palin.

I am from Juneau Alaska, we all watch her make incredible untrue statements like: selling the jet on Ebay which was not true. The State of Alaska Government pulled the lame jet off Ebay because it was not selling.

The "Bridge to now where." Sara Palin supported the Bridge to nowhere when she ran for Governor of Alaska!

Sara Palin is not kidding anyone in Alaska. She can decieve her supporters in the lower 48, because they do not know her.

Sara Palin running of the mouth. She is not a Barracuda what so ever, I find her dysfunctional in her words, as a person and as a woman.

She is not a friend of mine!

McCain is right. Americans ARE stupid. Half of them seem ready to vote for a third Bush administration, and more than half voted for Bush's re-election, even though we were mired in an immoral war and already in the throes of an economic disaster in the making. Many Americans seem to be fooled by the Palin fiasco. They don't read history, don't understand the context of our international dilemmas, and are easily swayed by the "patriotic" vitriol of Republicanism. Those who say McCain is different than Bush fail to realize that he will keep the same basic people in the administration if he is elected. that's why they call them administrations. He'll change a few people at the top, but most of the administration that has served up the last several years of agony will remain. And Americans will have only themselves to blame for their misery.

Obama is inexperienced and calls himself the change agent - maybe true, but he avoids though votes, has not started / co started a piece of legislation and does not work across party lines. And what does he do? Pick Joe Biden, one of the oldest Washington insiders. Democrats will ruin this country even more. Look at congress - 9% approval rating!

You say you would be worried if Palin in VP, but what about Obama? Palin and Obama have about the same amount of experiance. A question: why do you support Obama? Do you actually know where he stands on the issues? Did you see Obama's performance at the Saddleback forum? He dodged questions and avoided giving straight answers whenever possible. Don't give me this **** about McCain violating the cone of silence. Its a bunch of **** and you know it.

What nerve all you Obama suporters have for attacking McCain. Why is it the only thing you can say is McCain is Bush? Why, because that's all you can think of. Oh, and by the way, it isn't true. You fail to realize McCain has been bringing change to Washington for years. He regularly works across party lines and often goes against his own party. If Obama is elected he will be the most liberal, inexperianced president in American history who will refuse to work across party lines.

One final question: Would you still like Obama if he was the Republican and McCain was the Democrat? Answer: no - this election is all about the party brand. Get over it, and vote McCain.

McCain '08

She may have vetoed the Bridge to Nowhere, but that was only after she fought for AND more importantly KEPT THE MONEY ANYHOW

Obama couldn't have said it any better "Republicans must think we're stupid". Lets not forget McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, this means during Bush's 8 years in office John McCain supported his decisions 90% of the time. NOT 30%, NOT 60 %, but 90% of the time McCain thought George Bush made the correct decisions while in office.

In the words of Barack Obama, "Republicans must think we're stupid".

Obama/Biden 08′

They are hoping that we just vote, "stupidly for them"!……………………

All you people in these comments who keep saying "Obama hasn't been an agent of change" or "Obama hasn't worked with Republicans" or "Obama hasn't done anything in the Senate" are SERIOUSLY IGNORANT.

Never heard of the Lugar-Obama Non-proliferation Bill, signed into law in January of 2007? The Obama-Hagel Nuclear Threat Bill? When Obama and Republican Tom Coburn got together to write a bill increasing transparency in Congress by making a database of all grants and federal earmarks?

Educate yourselves, people! This information is readily available on almost ANY major website profiling the candidates!

"when you’ve been taking all these earmarks and then suddenly you’re the champion anti-earmark person, that is not change." um, that's the definition of change.

"words mean something." the hopeful slogan of the obama campaign. unfortunately actions mean more.

The McCain of 2000 would have tore into the McCain of 2008.

Everytime I see McCain I now think "Sell out!"

Most importantly, the Republican Party will not let McCain 2008 accomplish anything McCain of 2000 would have wanted to do.

Obama 2008 is McCain 2000!!!

Finally, someone said it!

African Americans can vote for Obama but how dare women vote for a woman.
Maybe we want some representation in the White House too ?
Haven't you heard of nannys and husbands who stay home, millions of mom's depend on others as they venture out into the word of success and influence. Sorry if it does not fit in with your very limited idea of a woman's ability. Children need love and care, I'm certain Palins children receive alot of both.
I am pro-choice and hate fur, but I think Pailin may be the right gal for the right job at the right time. The left , well better luck in 2012.

HILLARY 2012 !!

Hello people, Obama votes with his party 97% of the time.
Hardly what would be called moderate.

Get a clue, research his record, see that he has done nothing except for run for office and ruined the country's chances of at least having a decent choice between Hillary and McCain.

Just because you don't like the George Bush speaks, doesn't mean we should vote for someone who speaks really well, but has done next to nothing.

I am so glad this subject is addressed. I thought the McCain Palin ticket was trying to usurp Obama’s theme of change message but I am seeing the SAME thing going on as I have seen for the last 16 years. In McCain’s attempt to run on Obama’s theme, McCain has demonstrated that he has not had one unique idea in this campaign.

“Ms. Palin, after pledging for weeks that she would cooperate with the investigation, has in recent days begun to challenge the Legislature’s jurisdiction in the inquiry.” NYT 6 SEP 08 “The increasingly adversarial relationship between the lawmakers supervising the inquiry and Ms. Palin’s office stands in sharp contrast with the spirit of cooperation she had promised to bring to the inquiry, even as she questioned the need for an outside investigator.” NYT 6 SEP 08

After 8 years of Clintons and 8 years of Bushes are we supposed to be use to politicians claiming executive privilege to avoid testifying against themselves? Palin’s actions are not CHANGE—just more of the SAME.

Obama is so right. Republican's just follow the lead of real leaders, then discredit them and take credit for their work.

Funny how the want to follow the lead of CHANGE from a COMMUNTIY ORGANIZER. RepulicCONS who do this and support them are pathetic.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY NO ONE EVER BRINGS UP THE FACT YHAT MR.MCCAIN THE MAN OF INTEGRITY WALKED OUT OF HIS 1ST MARRIGE WHILE HIS WIFE WAS IN A WHEELCHAIR

do you guys at cnn have the guts to call mccain on his lie today? "obama has never worked across the party lines, not even once" this is untrue and he keeps repeating it!!! but you guys are to afraid of the right wing.

No Obama! they don't think Americans are stupid, they know Americans are stupid, that we 'll buy into any fraud and fraudsters. Why do you think this race is still close, when even Stevie Wonder can see from afar that these two ain't nothing but hypocrites with no solution for this country.

THEY REALLY THINK WE'RE STUPID IF WE ALLOW THEM TO PUT PALIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE. THEY WON'T EVEN ALLOW HER TO SPEAK TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE SHE IS ONLY THERE TO BUST UP THE CROWDS AND TRICK WOMEN IN TO VOTING FOR MCCAIN. THEY DO THINK WE'RE STUPID AND AND DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER, BUT WE GOT NEWS FOR THEM, THEY ARE NOT RUNNING THIS GOVERNMENT ANYMORE.

NO WAY, NO HOW NO MCCAIN-PALIN

Tucker Bounds is so ignorant! That or just a pure liar. It's unbelievable that he would continue to say that Palin denied earmarks for the Bridge to Nowhere when we all now know that she took the money and used it for something else!

Obama and Biden actually do "get it," they actually put "country first," and they will actually bring about "change"

What has Obama ever done for America? Z–E–R–O, Z–I–P.
Obama is worried now that finally soemone has put him exactly where he belongs.

Obama is all words and no action. Take away speech and he has nothing to offer.

Please people, do not be deceived.

Vote McCain/Palin '08

I guess McCain can say he's a candidate of change. Just look and how his campaignchanged when he added his little beauty queen, "pit bull with lipstick". He probably thinks all these people turning out at rallies are there to see him - funny they weren't there before.

But, Tucker, "my friend" (as your John McSame would say), did Governor Palin return the federal government's money that was "earmarked" for the "bridge to nowhere"? Me thinks not!

Obama for America!

American - we have got to pray - seriously.
We are headed for economic disaster and McCain and Palin are dividing this country!
Obama never sort to divide but bring us together. When America is bad - it's bad for everyone!
I'm afraid and I hope that millions of Americans are afraid with me - because, they have yet to talk about the economy! Palin is raising hatred like never before - all they do is attack personally. Neighborhood organizers help everyday people who are struggling with bills and job loss and everyday life. This is so hurtful.

Thanks,
BJC

You tell them Obama… I have seen your record and I have seen Palins record and you have accomplished more than she has.. and this is not you against Palin… she is a VP contender!! Or is she running for Pres now???

I saw she got over 20mil earmarks… yet she states she never asked for earmarks or got them.. yeah right!!

They are not Mavericks… mavericks of what?? A small town?? Anyone just about do that, I bet 90% in politics can do that.. that has no bearing at all on whether she can lead or help lead a country!!

McCain is now taking the slogan of change.. I think Obama should have patent the slogan LOL… Just about everything the Dems are doing the Republicans are trying to copy. Woman leading for one of the head seats in the whitehouse, Change as part of a campaign, what is next McCain?? WE all know you are full of lies!! You already promised all these lobbyist to save their behinds, for all their huge donations… and then you try and fool us and say you are going to change this stuff?? We are NOT STUPID!!!

Yes, the GOP thinks Americans are stupid.

Bush was like Jesus in 2000 for the religious right. Now he's invisible and his name isn't mentioned.

Now they bring you Palin, a female Bush, more of the same religious extremism in a soft fluffy fake-"moderate" package. She's an "average person" just like Bush.

Jesus, the GOP is a pack of rats and full of lies.

Has anyone notice that Senator Obama has been leading the republicans around by the nose. Between Bush and McPimp they have been standing still and reacting to Senator Obama.

1. Strike on Taliban stronghold in the mountains.

2. Beef up fighting force in Afgan war

3. High level talks with enemies

4. Diplomatic answer to Georgia/Russia

And now McPimp wants to change something. The only thing he has been changing lately is his positions. Flip-Flopper.

Senator Obama has been leading from the very start, and now McPOW wants to try to pull everyone together. I would be funny if it was not so serious.

Global warming causing increasingly harmful natural disasters … 6.1% unemployment … job losses for the eighth straight month in a row … sky-high gas prices … millions forced out of their homes by foreclosure … reduced funds for student loans … failing banks and financial institutions … over 4000 American lives lost in Iraq … over 30,000 wounded … Guantanamo Bay … outsourced jobs … Walter Reed Medical Center … inflation … Katrina … 46 million Americans without health care … including 8 million children … nearly $10 TRILLION national debt …

And still, inexplicably, over 40% of Americans want to do it again.

If you are supporting the Republicans because of "fiscal conservativism" or "small government," you're deluding yourself. Take a look at the numbers.

If you are supporting the Republicans because of the "war on terrorism," think about whether "foreign policy" means anything OTHER than "bomb 'em."

If you are supporting the Republicans because of "social values," ask yourself if any of the above are going to be solved by a ban on abortion or gay marriage.

If you are supporting the Republicans because you're still mad about the "Hillary thing," recognize that, come January, you WILL be living under McCain's policies or under Obama's. In January, whose policies do you want to live under?

We are a smart people. THINK before you vote.

Palin is an extreme on a lot of issues. It's so sad that the party with morals and values actually don't have any!

Obama is at the top of the ticket and he has not been in Washington a long time. Biden gets him around through Washington. McCain has been in Washington in 26 years. The top of the ticket is not change on the Republican side. Palin is the sidekick 3.0 of Bush. Miss Earmark USA. SHae up their bank accounts and dirty laundry.

“The republican party is the only party that can fix the damage that its party done” … that’s the best quote I’ve heard. every ones real opinion will not be talked about pertaining to Palin I can blog all day long and try to have a voice like yesterday…90% of the blogs on CNN said they did not like anything that was said at GOP including Palins speech but I guess the media owes her one?

How come this isn’t news? How come the news didn’t report what people really thought of all the speeches? That they weren’t well received at all but you took all the blogs off from your site…I guess you owe her a few free bees to keep her in the media…everone knows it was a good speech “in that hall" and that’s it.
Not one speech I heard from the GOP spoke to the America I know and the news media knows it. Can someone tell me who decides what news should be reported? I'd love to give my opinion and it be talked about Why don’t you talk about this poll on larry king and CNN

obama and biden talk about there ideas while Palin/ repeats the same old speach word for word and cnn reports it like its news,cnn can not let palin mcbush getaway with this how can she not field random questions she is a joke please dont lrt us down her speach wasnt that good the first time they say change they cant even change 1 word and what they keep saying is not true please stand up to this bull

I;m afraid to say the public is stupid. We seem to know more about celebrities and personalities than we do about issues that affect our very lives.We were dumb enough to vote in Bush again,put up with torture, ignore supoenas from congress,out a CIA agent , on and on. and still no outrage. But it;s over now.Palin will be toast before the end of september. It's ironic that a gossip news outlet like the Enquirer put away Gary Hart and John Edwards will now do the same to Palin.

Bravo Obama!

We will not be duped again. McCain and Palin are frauds. They are cut from the same cloth as Bush and Cheney. They will only continue the downward spiral of our country and threaten our national security with incompetence and a bellicose stance.

Amen. Not only can we [Americans] be stupid, we can be just plain idiotic.

It's high time that we start demanding accountability from our leaders. It is OUR responsibility to educate ourselves as to what's going on. I care more about John McCain's voting record over the past 8 years than I do about a paternity test on Maury Povich.

FINALLY, I DEMAND THAT THE MEDIA NOT BE BULLIED BY THE REPUBLICANS AND DO YOUR JOBS!!!! IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS. STAND UP!!!!!

CNN, please post this

ENOUGH of the GOP lies!!!! GO OBAMA hit em hard!

The RNC was the platform where the Repubs were supposed to share their ideas with the country. What policies did they share? Drill now baby and Obama is a bad man. That was the extent of them sharing ideas.

What makes me laugh is how everyone waved their flags and cheered every slander and sneer. These people represent the worst of what America has to offer.. and world opinion of us being at its lowest is proof of that.

Another thing that makes me laugh is how many republicans feel that our place amongst the rest of the world is not important… that because they're not Americans that their opinions shouldn't matter. This is exactly the reason why we're losing our soldiers while the rest of the world sits back and watches.. they don't want to help a nation that's seen right now as imperialistic. We need the rest of the world to cooperate with us to achieve national security.. and repubs just don't get it! Who's going to keep this country safe?

Hey Renee,

Watch Obama's interview with Bill O'Reilly and you'll see that he does admit that the surge worked. But after the republicans spent almost a trillion dollars on the war. After you do some reading and educate yourself, come on back and say something that makes sense.

Palin is a joke. It's a joke being played by McCain. She is nothing more then a gimmick to help save McCain's campaign. He must be laughing to himself at night. He thinks so little of the US public he didn't even bother to vette this women. So much for country first. It's John McCain first.

I am sick of all this talk of McCain being a maverick! He changed most of his positions and fell in line with the Bush administration after Bush defeated him in the primaries. Bush & Co. dragged McCain through the mud & McCain simply bent over and let them have their way with him. Maverick…!? To me, that's being a wimp! And McCain's "Country First" theme…give me a break! Here's a guy who switched all his positions, ideals, and principals just to keep his political career going! This is the same guy who contacted John Kerry about being his running mate!

McCain is a hypocrite & Palin is a joke. If this country elects them to continue on the destructive path we've been on for 8 years, then I guess the US deserves whatever they ask for.

OBAMA…change for the better. McCain…change for whatever's best for himself…at the time.

He's hoping that america will fall for the same negative hatefull politics…back in last election most voters didnt know how to find out the infomation for them self…now its a differnt story its 2008 mccain 70% know how to use a cpu…

MCCAIN does even Support MCCAIN - FEINGOLD……his name is on the bill.

SOMEONE ONCE called him a Maverick and you red fools beleive it. He CALLED his wife a few things too, DO THEY STILL STICK?

First the surge was a huge mistake, now it was a huge success.
Careful with allegations on your allegations of the skillful politician really is..

Thank you Komerad Barry for saving us. I can't wait to quit work next January so all those hard working Libs will support me.

Can someone explain to me what Obama has done that makes him the "agent of change"??Talking about it?? Or just because he started talking about it, he owns the word "change"??
To top it off, he goes ahead and picks the worst possible running mate who is anything but change..`35 years in the do nothing senate..
Obama never took on his party one single time..that shows he is a spineless politician who just got lucky by exploiting the "change" theme

Lol! Now its McCain who has the britnay/celeb problem.

How does it feel, McCain to be 72 years old, finally picked by your party and to be thoroughly upstaged by your own "celeb candidate"

Lol, nobody would bother going to your appearances if not for her. When she goes back to Alaska next week, lets see McCain's crowd counts.

Oh, OK, he'll probably cancel public appearances and go fundraising among the conservatives and right wing extremists until she gets back.

The old Romans used to give the people bread and circuses to keep them voting the right way. The Republicans just give us circuses and keep the bread for themselves.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

McCain has a history of trying to change Washington. Obama has none. No one can give an example of Obama working across the aisle because he has very little time in the Senate. McCain-Feingold is one example out of thousands for McCain.

it now seems that obama thinks he can win over decent republicans by calling them stupid. That is a change. I think only stupid people call other decent people stupid

More people watched his speech than McCains.
Obama spent a TON more money to get less of a result.
Wake up America that is the Obama plan to divide the US into rich and not rich, GOP and not GOP, Bush supporters and not supporters.

HE IS A DIVIDER

Just read most of the posts on this site. The hate against people most of you DO know. Your neighbor your postman your grocer the thing is the non Obama voters are not nearly as hate filled or visible. THEY ARE HEARING THE HATE TORWARD THEM AND WILL VOTE.

Keep up the hate it will backfire.

YOU INSULT THOSE YOU KNOW AND DON"T EVEN KNOW IT.

Ignorance is truly bliss.

OBAMA supporters are the REAL TRUE hate mongers.

Change you are SEEING already and its a mob of his supporters of angry filled zombies.

They TALK about the hate in the GOP but THEY are the ones that SHOW AND SPEW THE HATE THEMSELVES.

AMERICA IS LISTENING and the independent voters ARE LISTENING.

Also - it's not as though Obama is the first presidential candidate to speak of change. Is he somehow trying to convince us that he owns the philosophy of change? Please.

Hey CNN - where's the story of the discarded flags from the DNC? Way to have a "green convention" - toss 12,000 american flags into the local landfill.

Obama,
When you look at Sarah I'm sure you see your female version (only white) don't you? You know you should not talke about McCain. You are talking about change what did you change in Chicago when you were senator? Oh yes, vote 130 times present. That is a good change from actually working and making a decision on issues. And since you've been in Washington what change? Oh yes, run for president, that is a good change from actually going to Washington to work for the people who elected you.

So you're in no position to talk about others claim to change. Do you now own change? I could take you on with just a few facts. I'm not one of the coolaid drinking dumb fools. Americans are stupid, yes, because they have allowed a lightweight like you to be a standard bearer. Did you not come to prominance based on star power, and love from the media? Well, meet your double only this time she is female and I'm sure you still have scars from Hillary to know females do not let you get away with it easily.

I AM GLAD MCCAIN PICKED PALIN. Women of America, your last chance for the next four years to have a woman as #2 in Washington, seize your chance. VOTE McCain/Palin.

We had eight years of cowboy. Do we need pitbull..

Most all comments are against McCain-Palin but the polls show they are within two points. There is something wrong with this picture.
The ones being polled are probablly rich and don't want to loose there commections in Washington.
I hope people aren't as dumb as the Republicans think they are.

You go Obama. The Republicans are full of themselves, lets stop going down that endless rabbit hole.

Obama Biden 2008 !!

Hillary for Sec of State !!!

What a Team !

Thank you, Obama. Take it to them. The mish mash of messages that the Republics are trying to send — we're change… but we've been there 30 years; we're for energy independence … but we have voted for oil and done nothing for 30 years; we're against evil lobbyists … but our campaign is run by them and Palin lived at the trough; we are all for reaching across the aisle… but we ran a mean-spirited, personal attack oriented convention.

There words mean nothing — all of it is mis-representation of Obama and falsehoods about themselves. It truly makes me naseated. If they would make their case clearly — and then honestly dissect Obama — i would be fine. But that isn't what they are doing.

For me, the conventions were the message. The democrats were respectful of their opponents; the republicans were condescending, caustic, personal and mean-spirited. Which one is the change we need? Which one holds promise for reaching across the aisle?

"…come on. I mean, words mean something. You can’t just make stuff up. "

[What about working with your opponent to take public financing.]

"Obama said Thursday that he’ll focus on McCain…"

[But, I thought Obama was going to focus on the issues. ]

"he added, 'I mean come on, they must think you’re stupid!'"

Change in his pocket. Changing his mind. Obama is a real change agent.

Obama: Yes, we can.

McCain: Yes, we should have.

You're right, Mr. Obama. Words do mean something. And the simple fact of the matter is that I trust John McCain more than you. You have the nerve to call out someone for changing their position and call it flip-flopping? Sir, your party and yourself have the patent on that. But, again, Sarah Palin has everyone talking about everything other than yourself. Amazing to me that the Democratic Party is darn near blowing a slam dunk election. Nice job, keep talking!

It's official: Obama's starting to feel the heat.

COME ON, MR. OBAMA, HOW CAN YOU CLAIM THAT IT IS ONLY YOU AND YOU ALONE (NOT EVEN SEN. CLINTON IS GOOD ENOUGH TO BE COMPARED TO YOU) WHO CAN BRING ABOUT CHANGE WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE AN EXECUTIVE RECORD TO SUPPORT YOU, AND THE ONLY AVAILABLE RECORD IS YOUR VOTING RECORD IN THE SENATE, WHEN 80% OF THE TIME, THE VOTES THAT YOU CAST ON THE MOST IMPORTANT LAWS ARE PRESENT OR NOT VOTING (NEITHER YES OR NO), SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS EITHER YOU CANNOT DECIDE BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER AND INTENTIONS ARE BASED ON POLITICAL EXPEDIENCIES, OR THAT YOUR VOTE MIGHT NOT BE POPULAR OR YOU SIMPLY CANNOT DECIDE ON WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG, AND EVERY DECISION YOU HAVE MADE, IS MAKING AND WILL MAKE WILL DEPEND NOT ON YOUR VALUES BUT ON WHAT IS POPULAR.

ALL YOUR FANS REALLY FEEL THAT YOU ARE THE ONE, YOU ARE GOD SENT, YOU ARE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS. MR. OBAMA, YOU CANNOT EVEN ADMIT WHAT KIND OF SPIRITUAL ADVISOR YOU HAD FOR TWENTY YEARS, UNTIL YOU HAD TO DISOWN HIM (HE WHO WAS FAMILY AND SPIRITUAL MENTOR TO YOU) AGAIN …… FOR POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. AND MUCH, MUCH MORE SPIRITUAL AND POLITICAL EXPERIENCE.

Eight is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Who really thinks you are stupid?

Obama says spend more money that is his economic plan, for Government to waste more of your money on things like another economic stimulus, how can he look at the jobs number and say that the last one worked?

Stimulate the JOB MARKET not the average person's wallet, you cannot spend your way out this time!

The Government cannot create an economy by extending more credit, wake up! America is not broken, the economy is not broken, THE CREDIT MARKET IS BROKEN! Everything comes from that and Obamas plan is to spend more by taking out a loan on the future.

We are in trouble because of over-spending, individually and as a country.

Time to stop spending, everyone has to tighten their belts, especially the Government.

Please everyone laughs at the repubs that support McCain especially woman, who now see sexism in everything yet continue to support McCain despite his stance on equal pay for equal work for woman. McCain praised Bush during the convention then flips and admits that Washington is broken?! McCain voted against GI bill for our veterans yet he is a veteran, Washington obviously changed McCain!

Obama /Biden 08′

America has had enough of the current party. Make the repubs pay for the mess they've gotten this country in. Make sure you get out and vote and tell everyone you know to vote…Obama/Biden!

McCain would rather lose a war to win the election.

He proved that with his VP pick out of desparation.

McCain, you sir, are not a Maverick. A maverick chooses who he wants for his VP and not listen to Karl Rove and his dogs to tell you how to win. They talked you out of choosing Liberman and the others on your short list. I thought a Maverick holds his own.

You sir, is not a maverick. Niether is your running mate.

OCTOBER SURPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course the McCain/Palin dog and pony show thinks we're stupid. We somehow let Bush into office, and then in 2004 he was reelected, even though the Iraq war was a disaster and the Repubs were foreced to use fear tactics.

Now Cheney is all puffed up about Russia and they're doing it again. "Elect McCain if you want to keep America safe." It makes me sick. That old man has nothing but bluster to offer, and as for that painted, gun-totin' granny Palin, give me a break. She's a fraud.

Obama-Biden 08

What exactly has Obama ever done to suggest he represents change? Select a 6-term senator as his running mate? He played the Chicago politics game for years and hung-out with some of the most unsavory characters this city has to offer. More importantly, he has never crossed party lines once on any issues of substance — that's how you become ranked as the most liberal senator in America. Lastly, don't you find it amusing that he is battling Sarah Palin on the experience issue and not McCain, his primary competition at the top of the ticket? The country is growing increasingly tired of Obama's speeches and empty promises, and it's starting to reflect in the poll numbers.

How can you be for change if you select a "good old Boy" for VP that has been in Washington for years and years who is a part of the problem, change, hmmmmmmmmm

America is bening tested….We will see how smart Americans are on November 4th. If Americans vote McCain and Palin in the world will see how stupid we are. God help us if Obama is not our new president. The hole will get deeper and our children will be left with a mess beyond repair.

Whatever, Obama. You flip-flop more than anyone. Pot. Kettle. Black.

How can Obama say anything about anyone flip-flopping? I mean…come on! He's been flip-flopping since his campaign started!

Yet so many people hang on to his every word. Come on people, think for yourselves - that's the real change we need! Don't let the media, and Obama, do your thinking for you. They are the ones who believe you're stupid! And you only prove it by buying into everything they say!

Obama: they bought your "change," why shouldn'y they buy others'??
It's a free market in this country (still, I'd say!!!!!).

Kudos to Senator Barack Obama. I was a "HUGE" supportor of Hillary Clinton, but I will support and stand by Senator Obama as if it were Senator Clinton. He is the change that Americans have been waiting a long time to stand up to Washington and I know he will not let us down. If McCain really "is" about change, then why has "he" not accomplished some significant change in all the time he has been in office as a Senator? We need new blood in Washington to make serious changes, and Senator Obama is the person who I believe will do just that.

Wow well say. Plus McCain need the pitbull lipstick with him to campain like a puddle…. And McCain campain don't want her to meet the press, to scare to show are nut she is…
hahahahaha

Thank you Barack. We are not stupid like Palin and McCain think.

McCain has insulted America with his pick of Palin.
And Palin has insulted America with her lies about reform and her lies about her experience in Alaska.

We can see, read, and hear truth in Obama's positive message and will vote for Obama and a better America on Nov 4th.

Obama has begun to speak like a man who is getting nervous - almost afraid, and he has good reason to be. As a Democrat myself I still have to applaud McCain for his bold, historic and brilliant choice. Say what you will, Sara Palin is firing up not only the Republican Party but American politics in general. Obama should have chosen Hillary - a catastrophic error which we all have to soon acknowledge. I can now see that we are very likely bound to lose to this new, maverick team. McCain has never looked nor sounded so good. He is completely invigorated by the excitement Palin has created and it shows in everything they have done together since her announcement. They will be a VERY tough team to beat and I have to say that if they win I wont be as sorry as I previously thought. For the first time in an American election we have two fasinating opponents - very closely matched in experience and wisdom. I wont be sorry now if McCain wins with this amazing woman by his side.

Of course they think we're stupid…and we are. How else do you explain Bush got reelected??

We are not stupid we just do not believe your lies and left wing propaganda.
Please ask Pelosi to go back to Washington so when Biden tells us he cares about our kitchen table we can believe him.
Stop smearing Pailin, we watched you smear Hilary with lies and our wounds are still raw. Pailin is also one tough cookie and guess what, I trust her 100% to answer the phone at 3am.

Lets face it, people who vote for Republicans, against their own self interests, are in fact, stupid!

The sight of Rudy Gulliani snickering attempt to trivialize community organizing was a particularly nauseating sight (among many at the RNC Convention). As mayor, his disorganizational style contributed to the loss of life at the WTC (while being particularly adroit at organizing a cover-up of his use of city resources to hide his adulterous behavior). He ran the most disorganized presidential campaign since Pat Paulsen. These hypocrites are like tics sucking on the blood of the left side of the bell curve. They have no shame. They have no conscience.

If Palin is so smart, why won't she come out and face the press?

According to McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds, "Gov. Palin was fully vetted as previously described and we are no longer commenting on the vetting process, She was selected, is qualified and is ready to serve."

Apparently being"qualified" and "ready to serve" doesn't mean answering questions and defending her record and positions and the party platform.

Great point Obama! They are not change! As sad as it is there are people who are that stupid, they beleive everyhting that he and Palin are saying!!! The puppets of the conservative party!!! So sad!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Im upset with the system answer these question!
Why is Sarah not answering any question?
Why is she off limits to the Media?
Why is McBush camp covering up for her?
Why is not not going out on her own?

Answers I came up with
Because she doesn't know anything
Becuase she is smart in only Alaska
Because they know, if she supported most of Obama ideas
Becuase no one would go out to hear only McBush!

Barack was question from day one!
Barack was put on the spot many times!
Barack friends and pastor were on TV everyday for 3 months
Barack was beat up time and time again by the media

Media, do your job! Question this woman! She doesn't deserve to get a free ride!

Thank you Sen Obama for setting the record straight. I was thinking the same thing when I heard McCain's speech - did he not KNOW what Guliani and Palin were going to say the night before?!
They were so demeaning, not just to you, but to so many hard working Americans. It did motivate me to make a contribution to your campaign.

BTW - Palin only renounced the 'bridge to nowhere' after the national outcry. But she still took the money! The bridge was never built but Alaska still got the money - so Republicans need to stop talking about that. We are NOT stupid!!

Obama/Biden '08

"You can't just make stuff up!" — the rallying cry of every half-way decent person who runs into the rats (and pittbulls) of this world. Everyone who's been faced with bald demonstrable clear shamless lies knows the feeling. It almost makes him look naive to be so upset — but only almost.

The truth in November

Speak the truth Mr. Obama,

Keep the lights on

Some may cover their eyes and wish to return to the darkness

But there are more who want to live in the truth, and expect it from our politicians….

Reject the Republican request that somehow your'e safer, better off, when you abandon logic.

What nerve MCCAIN has to think we are that STUPID. After 26 years in Washington and not talking about any substabce and issues in this campaign or convention, He really has nerve to think that we will be that STUPID to vote for him and his unqualified Attack Dog (Palin). She just keep repeating the BUSH speech writer's words that she memorized during the convention on the road. WHY, because she has no substance or record or experience or qualification to talk about anything else other than HOW BAD OBAMA IS.
PALIN reminds me of a JUNIOR CHENET with all the divisiveness and negative personal attacks. I am scared to death to see her as VP.

John McCain is talking change because it works.

He does not represent change but if he does not put on a good show he will not represent anyone. He is doing what he has to do to try to win an election.

He voted with Bush 90% of the time and now wants to be called a maverick.

WHAT A JOKE. Unfortunately some people are stupid enough to believe it as long as he waves our flag at all of his rallies.

No! I'm not stupid. That's why I'm voting for Senator Obama.

Good for Obama. Let them know they're the copycats in this election. McCain has been 'following' Obama since the primaries and now he has his cronie Sarah girl in on it. Keep it up, Obama, and America needs to be wary of this McPalin Pigfest, she's like the snake with lipstick batting her eyelashes at you and you're all crooned and swooned up about her and then suddenly she bites you and you scream and ask her why she bit you and she turns with that smile and says, "You knew I was a snake."

Good for you Obama. It's about time they hear some truth for a change. Sarah Palin is not liked by all in Wasilla. Just google 'Sarah Palin Email' and you will find an interesting email from Anne Kilkenny of Wasilla, who has known Sarah since 1992. Interesting reading. This has been verified by snopes as real. GO BAMA/BIDEN.

That is true Sen. Obama republicans think Americans 're stupid, sometimes i think that way too, and they will continue to think that way till Americans rise up and say enough is enough by voting against them this election include Lower House and Upper House.

Obama is right about Palin when she was a Mayor she had earmarks, but she had none as a Governor and John McCain none at all vs. Obama. So if Obama wants to talk earmarks he better be careful since he said he is running against McCain not Palin. He might shoot himself in the foot at the debates with this.

As far as the economy Obama has yet to say how he is going to pay for his economic plan. At a rally in New Mexico he dodged a question from a man making 1200 a month on Social Security when the man said his morgtage is more than that a month. Obama talked for 10 min. and didn't answer the man and took the next question. Talking about the issues like he claims and actually having a solution to get them accomplished are 2 different things.

Good ! The Republicans have gotten this far because they are so aggressive, it's time for Obama to fight back! You're not sexist for challenging issues, and if they say it than
DON'T BACK DOWN,
get aggressive and challenge them back.

OBAMA YOU ARE BEING BULLIED….
HIT BACK

hit them hard. you have been talking about changing Washington for the last 18months. McCain 8weeks to the election suddenly he is for change how come. he real thinks people are stupid.what happened to his experience slogan. stick to your experience your not the change agency. 26 years is not change.

Where was the experience, judgment and country first in picking her?
Did I get it wrong or did Mcbush just do a cut and run on his “experience” platform?
Experience
Experience
Experience
Experience
oops
Change
Change
Change
Change
Who do Americans really want in The White House: The one that voted against the war to begin with, the one that said “set a time table”, the one who first had the common senesce to say it’s time for “a change in America” or the one that’s following Obama’s lead? I would call Obama a leader with good judgment.

Hillary doesnt want to help Obama because he is about to fall.

this is the end of the obamanation!

Mccain 08 + HILLARY 2012

The voters in Ohio are not stupid enough to vote for someone just because they are pretty. In Ohio we want good paying jobs since most of the good jobs have been outsourced over seas. Pleas give us credit out here in voter land, we are voting so Americans can be first for awhile. What about our families? JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! Not just a bunch of talk!

DEMOCRATS — CONTROL — CONGRESS

JOB — LOSSES — UP — 6.1%

HOLD — DEMOCRATS — ACCOUNTABLE

good! make a stronger case about how Palin and McCain (funny how the order of those seems to get mixed up recently) are really just being told what to say by the brillian republican political minds that got that moron Bush elected twice…

hopefully Biden will start the attack dog role stronger than he has

Give it up Obama!

Go McCain/Palin 08

Alaska receives more earmark dollars per person than any other state. Nearly 20 times as much as Obama's state of Illinois!

Obama is right, Republicans DO think you are stupid.

Palin did not oppose the Bridge to Nowhere until Congress disallowed it; however she did keep the money; Palin hired a lobbyist to secure earmarks for Alaska who has received more money this way per capita than any other state.

She left her small town in debt for 22 million dollars…she is not a good money manager; she is a politcal opportunists who so easily delivers prepared smears and attacks with ease but refuses to speak directly to the American people.

Why silence on the lobbyists on the McCain campaign, Tucker???

They sure do Barack, they sure do.

Obama, and your supporters - you must think WE'RE stupid. So… she changed her mind on an issue after first supporting it. Maybe she had a good reason. No doubt she will admit that she was wrong at first, unlike you (can you say SURGE). That one issue just makes her more like YOU, as you change your mind, flip-flop and re-issue statements, after your first dumb knee-jerk arguments are thought about for 15 minutes, by your gaggle of advisers. If we're calling Sarah "Barracuda", you should be known as "Mr. Flip-Flop" - traits which include: unsubstantial, goofy, and easy to shake off.

Dare you to post this CNN.

the truth hurt, and McCain is becoming a master of gimmicks, after 26 years in Washington, after voting with John Bush 90% of the time, the economy in tatters, George McCain is for change, well tell you what a lot of people are stack on stupid and will fall for that

The Republicians must think we are stupid if they think we believe
in Palin. She has already been caught in a lie about the Jet she
put on Ebay. What happens if this woman gets pregnant again,
who is going to pay for the care of her children??We the taxpayers
are, that's who. Is her pregnant daughter going to move in the White
House with or without a husband. Soccer mom she may be ,VP
she is not.

OBAMA///Biden 08

good call barack about time someone called mccain out on his bull

Righ on Obama, those 2 are the greatest liars in america and think everyone is stupid and buy that garbage.

Obama for President

The do and it sad that their right. Why else would we re-elect Bush in 2004. Not this time.

McCain & Palin are the continuation of Bush-Cheney.

They can't even face the press because they threw a convention of lies and distortions.

It is time to put the Republicans feet to the fire.

Go get them Obama.
They are a pack of wolf with a credentials for falshood

Ouch! Obama is correct. I can't belive the Republicans are trying to spin the word Change into their corner. Don't worry Barack we are not stupid.

BTW, Sarah Palin is such a puppy, keep following the old dog Sarah, keep marking your territory right behind him. LOL

People are increasingly acting like hypocrites.
When Barack came out people were saying the catchphrase of the day, he is not ready, he is inexperienced, however, when Palin comes out and people want to know her experience, they run out this convoluted 18 month executive experience without reconciling the lack of foreign policy experience and national Federal experience. Obama has national Federal experience
