I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN FLORIDA ALL MY LIFE AND THIS STATE JUST RECENTLY BEGAN LEANING TO THE RIGHT.... THE FLORIDA POLITICIANS ARE in the pocket of the republican party... WE NEED TO BRING BACK THE DAYS OF LAWTON CHILES....

REMEMBER THERE WERE DEMS AND RETHUGS INVOLVED IN THE STEALING OF THE 2000 ELECTION... THEY RAISED A CONFEDERATE FLAG IN TAMPA...

ONE WORD... REVALUTION.....

I live in Virginia and have realized that Virginia (for the first time since the 1800's) is the MOST IMPORTANT swing state. Pennsylvania is important, but it is entreched with ideologically driven people. Virginia has key independents in both Northern and Western Virginia that could in fact swing the state significantly to Obama.

I don't have a preference, my hope is not in a person of this world, but am excited to see the political fighting that is happening. Good luck to both sides and let's pray that it will be a positive step for US politics.

Florida voters were voting for Hillary because of HER stance on the election . NOW obama want's to musle in and take credit for HER votes. He has to garner votes on WHAT he thinks he can do for the Floridians. He has to let them know his views and convince them he deserves their VOTE. Of course he doesn't have a clue WHAT they need or want. Floridians should be very careful how they vote. Remember, raising taxes to help get us out of debt while still spending is crazy ! AND your SOCIAL SECURITY. WATCH OUT! This elecetion IS NOT ABOUT DEMOCRATES or REPUBLICANS. It's ABOUT WHO HAS the EXPERIENCE to Get us out of this mess we are in.

And boy do I wish I could vote!!! Anyone who votes for McCain/Palin needs to have his/her head examined.

When History is written.

Obama Biden will be in as president / Vice president

Done Deal

The Oppossising forces are rising, as a last stand

The Power of the people as one agent for change has won

66 Million last month proved it!

O/B 08/12 Won already

Wasting your time in Florida, bots. McCain now has a substantial lead there; you won't see nobama nor hair plugs there the rest of the campaign because their internals tell them it's a lost cause there and not to waste valuable time nor money. GA,NC, MT, and IN are solid red now also. Ohio and Virginia are beginning to turn pink and turning redder every day. Omumbles is now having to defend his home turf in PA, MI, MN, and even NJ and NY as the race has tightened in these traditionally blue states. The messiah is going down big time. 'nuff said.

Its not about money anymore. Most people have made up their minds and the undecided are also leaners and negative campaign adds will consolidate their vote. The debates are what could change the outcome and if the two candidates each hold their grounds than it will be close but McCain will have the edge.

Hey Diaz –

If McCain/Palin believe in "Country First" and "Change" does that mean that the current administration does not put first "Country First?"

First the DNC disenfranchised Florida with the help of Obama and his campaign dragging their feet on a redo, and now Plouffe thinks he will campaign in Florida and they will all run and support Obama, I think the Obama campaign in dreaming in colors of bright yellow!

Incase Americans have not noticed yet, but the whole continent of North America will be Conservative.

Mexico ==-======Conservative!
Canada======== Soon to be Conservative!
United States == =Soon to be Conservative!

During war times North America becomes Conservative it is only a natural state of protection and defence.

Only in the USA where white privilege is the only thing that could possibly allow
someone to run for Vice President who told more lies than watergate and have more baggage than a pullman train or run for president when he has voted with George W. Bush 90
percent of the time, even as unemployment is skyrocketing, people are
losing their homes, inflation is rising, and the U.S. is increasingly
isolated from world opinion, just because white voters aren't sure about
that whole "change" thing. Ya know, it's just too vague and ill-defined,
unlike, say, four more years of the same, which is very concrete and
certainŠ?

Hey Ana–More DEM lies-If you just got your citizenship yesterday–You can't have your voting cards today-
Oh !! Wait a minute -if you were an illegal and don't have to present ID–Sure the DEMS will let you vote-
TYPICAL_-

Florida will alway be NOBAMA!

Florida Republicans plan to be mavericks this time and vote for Obama.

Don't trust the polls. I was a former Republican until this year. I live in Tampa,Fl. along the infamous I-4/I-75 corridor, where you can see a huge 30 foot confederate flag flapping in the wind. It's their right of course. Don't believe the hype, there are plenty of Floridians wearing Obama shirts, bumper sticker and have yard signs that you would normally not see supporting him.You do see McCain as well.I is closer than you think. Florida is suffering as well and we want it to stop.

Floridians for Obama/Biden 08/12..

Difference between McCain and Bush .................(NONE) The difference between Palin and Cheney(Pit bull)................... Lipstick

For the very first time in our adult lives, my husband and I have contributed to Obama's campaign and volunteered to canvas our community. This is COMPLETELY out of my nature. I'm doing it for several reasons, but mostly because I fear for this country's future under another four years of Republican rule. FEAR it. I have two small children who's future's are at stake here. I am an Independent, and have voted Republican in the past, so therefore I don't necessarily agree with the Dems on *every* issue. BUT, I can't help but here the echo of JFK's words during this time of crisis: Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. So....I am.

I emplore all American's to do what is right and good for OUR country. Put aside your partisan politics, put aside your gender bias, put aside your racial stereotypes, put aside your anger and *seriously* consider what's at stake here.

Don't vote with your heart.....vote with your HEAD!

Indiana is working hard to make our state a blue state!

Obama is going to get crushed in November. Why will no one listen to me?

Hey Plouffe AIG just got bailed out to keep jobs. How are you going to explain to the NEW FLORIDA that Obama the taxaholic will keep AIG afloat if he is Pres. by raising all these corporate, payroll, capital gains, etc. etc. I would like Sen. Obama to address this in his preaching stump speech's now.

Senator Clinton was right to use her time and talent elsewhere. Before you could say lipstick on a pig, the McCain campaign would be running pictures of the two women and trying to convince you that Hillary was a fan of Palin.

WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WE CANN’T TAKE ANOTHER 4 YRS OF THE SAME OLD STUFF.

Wake up young voters!! This is your time to step up to the plate. My social security check and health care depends upon you. Don’t let's us old people down.

I guess no one watched last night on CNN and Fox how they went through all the comments against McCain by the Obama people and totally refutted every one of them. Obama's people are the ones lying. Oh and what about the money he has received from Fannie and Freddie? And what about that he has to produce proof of his birth and citizen ship records at the end of September. Check that out!!!!!

Why are we not talking about this?

Why are we not talking about this? Andrew K. McCain, a son of Republican presidential nominee John McCain, sat on the boards of Silver State Bank and of its parent, Silver State Bancorp, starting in February but resigned in July citing "personal reasons," corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show. Andrew McCain also was a member of the bank's audit committee, responsible for oversight of the company's accounting.

The younger McCain, who is the chief financial officer of Hensley & Co., the beer distributorship of which Cindy McCain is chairwoman, is the Arizona senator's adopted son from his first marriage.

Andrew McCain's position on the Silver State board and departure were first reported Friday by The Wall Street Journal online.

The new floridas are Colorado and New Mexico. McCain has not spent much money in the state of Florida (much less than Obama has) and he's still been pretty consistently ahead there. But if Obama's minions want to waste money there rather than focusing on CO and NM, then I'm more happy to let them.

CNN you can post all racist comments from so many ppl .. why cant you post my comment..

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I officially became a US citizen yesterday. I have 15 other friends with me and we all registered to vote for Obama. I think he is the one who can get this country out of trouble…

Obama/Biden '08 & '12

As a registered Democrat my vote in November will be going to Bob Barr, Libertarian candidate. Seems most people overlook that there are other options to the main party candidates especially when you don't agree or trust the ones running on either the Democratic or Republican ticket.

Florida is military bases and old people. How anyone thinks Obama could win this state is beyond me.

I officially became a US citizen yesterday. I registered to vote for Obama. I think he is the one who can get this country out of trouble...

Obama/Biden '08 & '12

And all you young people out there!
VOTE with your HEADS and not with beliefs that your parents drilled into you growing up. This is your time to make a CHANGE because you are voting for what you will be left with in the end! NOW is the time. The feirce urgency of NOW is upon us!
OBAMA / BIDEN 08

McCain is too old and forgetful to be a competent leader.

I urge you all to support McCain and Palin in our struggle against the Muslim world. Will will win in Iraq, Iran and Pakistan if necessary to guarantee the flow of oil for America. We can not let the terrorists win.

I don't know why so many people insist that Obama has a plan to fix the economy. "The Government's gonna come in and fix everything" is not a real plan. It's definitely not a good plan.

I am for Obama all the way but I do fear he will lose because the republicans will cheat and their are many Hillary supporters that will not vote for him. If Obama loses everyone who voted from McCain deserves everything they have coming which is more of the same. Sarah Palin is a liar and she could care less about this country. McShame only criticizes Obama because he has nothing to run on. None of his supporters has discussed what it is he is planning to do for the economy. Is that because their is no plan the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I am sure many of the people supporting McCain/Palin cannot afford 4 more years of the same. The republicans always no how to attract ignorant voters.

Wake up People!
Do not believe the HYPE!
Do not believe POLLS!
I have never been POLLED!
Have you ever been POLLED?
Mccain has turned to dirty politics because that is all he has. He can't even give a speech without major gaffs. What planet is he living on."The economy is fundamentally sound".
Mccain is fundamentally dillusional!
The TRUTH is that we our at a day of reconning for this administration and this republican party. They are going to loose, and loose big. The Democrats are going to win states that have not won in decades. We are going to take back this country in a big way. And all the spin can keep spinning because the wake up call is less then 60 days away!

Well – in MY part of FLORIDA – I will be VOTING for McCain – and seems like Millions of my neighbors will also!

Looks like obama may have developed yet another problem with the Jewish voters in FL.

obama forget ohio and florida mccain has these states you better defend pennsylvania michigan because if mccain wins either one of these states he wins election also forget about georgia

Florida will be close again.

Yes We Can!

Obama / Biden 08!

TALK about issues that matters to American people. The government just bailed out AIG. What does that leave us average people? The government sure don't give me money for gasoline and grocery bills. STOP responding to the REPUBLICANS WITH THEIR NONSENSE ISSUES. PLEASE talk about the economy, thousands of people are losing their jobs due lay offs. Who are you going to tax if people don't have jobs? Our Health care is in crisis compare to other industrialize countries. We have all the technology but a lot of Americans don't get the right care/treatment they need.

I am petrified of the MCCain ticket!!!!!!!That woman is power hungry and will stop at nothing to advance her personal agenda. why is she not cooperating with Troopergate ?? Wake up everyone...... can't you smell corruption ahead with this twosome????? Suds

McSame's shameful pandering pick of Palin by itself should disqualify him from the election, as the choice clearly shows he's sold his soul to win at any cost. How anyone can see Caribou Barbie as the 2nd coming of the Messiah is beyond rationale thought.

We can only hope that voters will stop drinking the Kool-Aid and see the disaster that the McSame/Palin ticket represents. Bush 44 is not what this country needs.

Florida, PLEASE don't disappoint us. The U.S. needs you to bring the change that this country needs.

Go Obama/Biden!!

Rush and us will keep Florida safe from the evil Liberals.We will cheat,lie, steal votes,or what ever else it takes to keep Rush making millions.Rush is my messiah,I believe what ever he says.

Where's the news about the Women's Groups supporting their first candidate for president since Walter Mondale? This was big news. CNN report this!

In response to the question from Lisa "florida has the highest foreclosure rate of any state in the country. How can John Mccain be leading in the polls there??????????????? It soesn't make ANY sense." The answer is....the hillbillies and rednecks in the northern part of the state and panhandle are good little repubican lemmings and will vote for whoever they throw out there

Democrats need to get a clue.

It is two-faced to say they are all about peddling "Hope", when they in fact spend so much time blaming the economy as somehow McCain's fault. What a load of ... nonsense. Truly, the state of the economy is the fault of a whole lot of people whose names are not McCain. Efforts to make McCain responsible for Bush and the entire Senate and the entire congress, and the dummies that run our financial institutions are insanely stupid and worse ...dishonest.

Foeclosures in Florida...So show us how to get out of this mess... not the same old blame game. I really liked Obama up until about two weeks ago. Now he has become a guy that is dedicated to ...scare tactics. Florida seems ripe to them...because they see an opportunity to scare people into voting for Obama. What a nose-dive Obama is taking. Another good guy gone bad. The worst part is that he really had something valuable to offer our country with his "hope" message. But he's left that message for a mean message of fear. What a shame !

My parents and I were unaffiliated in PA and registered as Democrats during the primaries. We've always voted for the Democrat and in the primary we voted for Hillary..BUT we are voting for McCain. So, don't get too excited about higher registration numbers. lol

google keating 5

McCain can't fix the economy. He and his advisers are responsible for the problems.

I hope that one of these ads start with "8 is enough" because it is enough already...

I get it now. If I don't vote for Obama I'm a racist??? How about – I'm not going to vote for him because he's an empty suit marxist.

Remember
Josef Stalin was a community organizer
John Goti was a community organizer
Al Capone was a community organizer

great company, eh?

The great untold story of this election is how many republicans will vote for Obama this year. John McCain, the compromise last option in our weak presidential field this year, has shown himself unfit to hold the office he seeks lacking the character, temperament and judgment to lead a scout troop let alone our country. The last straw was his selection of Palin – you will note that more and more conservatives are admitting publicly what we have all known privately – McCain is too reckless to be president. As a conservative, I at least know Obama, what he stands for and have seen him remain a confident, competent and principled leader despite vicious attacks. I may disagree with him, but I trust him to lead. I cannot in good conscience support McCain for president. So, I am putting my country first and voting Obama.

Republicans, despite the fact that he ran a terrible campaign (sorry, he wasn't a politician), can we all realize that Romney was the best choice in the weak field we had this year? Think of how awfully ridiculous and halting McCain sounds on the economy and how competent and sure-footed Romney appears in comparison? Let's re-group for 2012, but we cannot give the presidency to the farce that McCain now represents. I am hoping for Jindal myself or dare I say Jeb Bush?

I am from Florida. We have not forgotten the primary's and we will vote McCain/Palin. Obama and the DNC deserve to lose.

Wake up people, McCain will WIN Florida, and he will win PA, MI, WI, MN, NJ, NH, that is six states that are blue going to be RED this time. Hispanic/Latinos don't trust obama. McCain will win the Latinos vote mark my word!!!. Hispanic will vote for a proven winner and that is McCain/Palin. Latinos wake up listen to Daddy Yankee he is going for McCain!!!!

Hispanic for McCain/Palin

It has to pay off!!! McCain and Pelin will destroy this country as we know it!!! Pelin wants war with Russia to blow up the world so Jesus comes back and McCain is to lazy to even fight for regulations on a committee he chaired and that "pork" bussiness of his is so he didn't have to work for Arizona!!! We even tried to impeach him a couple years ago because he didn't get us any help from Washington but Cindy's money broke that up!!! Obama/Biden are the only hope for this countries survival as we know it!!!

What about the U.P. of Michigan, did someone just forget to color that in????

CNN:

What about the six women organizations that's endorsed BARACK OBAMA?...

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!! A CHANGE IS GONNA COME!!

I was a life time dem. that now supports McCain/Palin...and I didn't leave the dem. party...they left me. Now the dems are elitists
special interest groups, & liars, and I do not feel like I can trust the dems. anymore. Many other dems. I know feel the same way I do. I am saddened to see what the dem. party has become, Oh...I am not stupid I am retired for U. Of GA.

McCain has gained ground in all the battleground states. Pack your bags Barry, you're going back to Chicago.

At least the Dems have proposed a plan. It will include some pain as it must because of the undeniable lousy position that the Reps have created. Their inability to recognize and act on many problems have led to this. I'm Republican and I know a line of bull when I hear it. I've heard it for 8 years. Time to stop listening to that tired, tired source.

It simply amazes me that some Repubs. (not all) would choose the Ole Party line over common sense and not even consider the candidates representing their party as inadequate. To me this impies that they simply don't care who it is, because they will be figureheads anyways being controlled behind the scenes and being told what to say and do. It seems clear to me that McCain/Pain are not change that you can believe in. My only other theory (God forbid) is that this is simply about race.

I often wonder if Barack was white would McCain have any supporters?

As a resident of Doral, Florida I will vote for Obama. However, this area seems to be more incline to vote for McCain. It is part of Miami-Dade and one of the Diaz-Balart is a representative or congressman for this area. Don't know if my vote will do any good for Obama but at least he has two democrates who moved from New York eight years ago who will be backing him all the way and hoping there are much more of us out here. If there is, their very hidden because I just don't see them. Maybe in Hialeah or Homestead but not Doral!

Retired military, Hispanics and disinfranchised Clinton supporters. Obama will NOT win Florida. Spend the money elsewhere, like Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Also, quit running on the premise that McCain – Palin are just like Bush – Cheney. People, outside of Hollywood, are smarter than that and know they are not the same at all. To undecideds it comes off that you have nothing to offer but the fact that you are not the other guys. The Dem's are blowing this big time.

After reading all comments here for a long time it get's quite clear.
Not alot of people are caring for issues. It seems that many desperately want to have a woman in the white house. No matter who it is !

Still, look at the polls ! It's quite sad !

I am pretty sure that McCain will win. What happens then ? Hope he stays fit & healty . What happens with the economie ?

Are people happy to loose their homes so their vote for him.

And social security ? Privatize ?
Not a very good idea IMO

Look at AIG now, what happend

Ahh, yes, McCain invented the blackbarry LOL

You can all trust him ! ( and the moose lady )

I will look forward to the next 4 years and wait till the next elections.
Will be the same old game : Republicans are the best. Yes. George Bush was great ( just kiddin' )

Poor america.

( BTW: Do you really thing that Hillary will have a chance in 2012 ??? )

Florida did not cost owl gore the election, owl gore cost owl gore the election by not even being able to win his own home state of Tennessee. They knew him the best and chose George Bush.

Ditto to The Cosmos Rocks... McCain will carry Florida, McCain will win the election. American's appreciate Loyalty, and our McCain has
proven his Loyalty to the 'Greatest Nation under GOD'. Obama has
no loyalty even to his own mentor, Jeremiah Wright, whom Obama said
he could not disown, but then he did disown, when Wright kept on being a racist publicly. I have to give Jeremiah some credit for at least
being open with his racism. Barak thinks he is hiding his pro-black agenda. It is sad, because my first impression of Barak, was that he
was rising above the things that divide us, prejudice, etc...instead he
played the race card. John McCain would never bring race into this,
he will be America's president for Blacks and Whites. Write it down..
He will be your president too.

The Obama folks also need to ensure that Republican officals don't play games with providing "not enough" voting machines in traditional Democratic districts – remember Ohio in 2004? The Republican Sec. of State sold out his own people by forcing (minority) folks and others to wait several hours to vote. Many couldn't wait that long and didn't vote at all. There was an entire ware-house of ununsed machines – they were available, just not provided. Wake up people!

Gov. Palin's closet is full of skeletons, I hope you supporters, will be ready for the scandal. The fact that she wont talk to investigators, when she said she would...... is a sign that she IS hiding something. Poor McCain.

Reading the comments above, like the one from "Raymond Duke" , I realize once more that racism is alive and well in our nation.

That misinformation, lies, propaganda by the Republicans is working!

I notice that the far-right-comments are ALL ATTACKS or DEMEANING COMMENTS AGAINST SEN. OBAMA. The GOP and their supporters do not have anything other than DESTROY the opponent!

I voted for Bush in 2000, I grew up in a Republican household. BUT I CAN NOT VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICANS WHOM HAVE LIED...... TORTURED....... INDEBTED OUR NATION TO CHINA AND SAUDI ARABIA!

Even though Sen. Obama has been in office a mere EIGHT YEARS, he is a brilliant man! He was raised by a single mom and his grandparents he worked hard to get an education and has succeeded!

To ALL the HILLARY SUPPORTERS VOTING MCCAIN: I WOULD BE CAREFUL, SINCE ONE DAY HILLARY WILL RUN AGAIN........ AND SHE WILL NEED THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS......... BUT IF YOU THROW OUR CANDIDATE UNDER THE BUS......... YOU WILL......NOT.......HAVE....OUR........SUPPORT!

COUNTRY OVER EGO!

Unfortunately I have to agree. Older generation has at least traces of racism in their system, even the ones who claims they are impartial.
It's hard to overcome. Obama's campaign just have to continue their effort to register more younger voters. They will be the ones to decide this election. (By the way, that's why the polls are so close – who polled young people who are not "likely voters" and use mostly cell phones?)
Also, it's not a bad idea to remind older people in Florida, that according to Obama's plan if they live on fixed income no more then 50,000 they won't pay any taxes. This should grab their attention.

This is why Obama will win. There are too many voters who care about the state of the economy and will refuse to allow a man who has followed Bush for 8 years and a Governor who has been in office less than 2 years with an ethics investigation going on, to be elected as head of our country. We will win Florida as much as McCain may try to do the Bush thing with hanging chads. We will be a glorious country again with the leadership of Obama/Biden!! So dust off your pants, VOTE and take somebody with you!!

Hi there,

John/Sara 08

Sara will survive and move ahead and bring about the real change americans need NOW. God bless you.

For Obama: Elitist 025

I think on the day of voting..intelligent, right minded, good thinking Americans will vote for Obama cause he's the man for the job in bringing back America to her feet ! The whole world knows it, and it's high time for the Americans to know this fact too!

Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

Piss-poor state-craft...

A bungled economy...

Why would we want MORE of this ?

Florida may not be a realistic option for the Democrats this year – at least for the presidential race. It may be wiser to spend the money in Ohio and PA & MI. These are states that can be won by Obama.

Hi there,

John/Sara 08

Sara will survive and move ahead and about the real change americans need. God bless you.

For Obama: Elitist 025

Alright, David! We know you are the best campaign manager there is. To pull of an extraordinary campaign with no goveremnt or speciall interest mney. We love and appreciate you. Another great choice for Senator Obama. This guy has such great skills of choices to better the ountry and world!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08' (CHANGE WE NEED)

"True…the reason for this is because our helmet laws-allow personal choice…rather than dictating the safety equipment (a personal freedom–you know kind of like being able to have a designated smoking area, or a neighborhood bar, or eat butter/bacon) our legislators have allowed us to have a little personal freedom and liberty."

Will you have a family member go out there to clean your brains off the street, or do you expect the state to do that?

That's the thing about seatbelt and helmet laws, things that are there for personal safety. Those laws exist because nobody lives in a vacuum. Your decisions affect other people. When you yourself pay for every aspect of the roads and their care, then you can go and decide to not have some armor on your brainpan.

If anyone thinks the 2000 election and the Bush's brother Govenor don't go hand in hand then let me tell ya, I got one heck aof a bridge to sell you in Alaska! Everyone in Florida get out and vote for Obama! He is the only one with at least a plan. Hey people if Obama does not work out in four years then vote him out....we sure cant be any worse than having 4 more years of the same right now! And remember, it has ALWAYS been a Democrat that has led this nation in times of peril! It was even a democratic Congressman from Texas who actually beat the russians in the 80's...not Ronald Regan!

Stand up and be counted Florida! Do you want someone who will die in office and leave it to someone who is already under investigation before she even entered the race? You want someone who wants to overturn Roe v Wade? You want someone who wants to take away your rights as americas just to have a woman in the white house? At least wait for the right woman to come along!

Veterans for Obama

Problem is that most Republicans are silly gamblers. They´ve bet two times on the wrong horse but now instead of changing the horse they believe that next time everything gets better. Good luck.

She is going where she belongs, with all the other Republican Elistists. She is showing her true colors, that all she cares about is her wallet!!!!! Do not think for one minute that all democrats over the $250,000 income bracket will not vote with there wallets in mind. If they turn on Obama because they are more GREEDY than PATRIOTIC so be it. What they need to realize is that GREED is what is destroying this country and if they think that there situations will improve with a vote for Mccain they are sadley mistaken.

Merle September 17th, 2008 10:14 am ET

IT JUST GOES TO SHOW "THE OBAMA TEAM" IS DESPERATE….PALIIN SCARED THEM….THEYRE SCRAMBLING….THEYRE DESPERATE!! WHAT A JOKE
---------

Palin scares the absolute hell out of me, too.

Go Obama ... You can do it man!! I want a better future for my kids and your the man with the vision for the future.. This White walmart mom is behind you 100%!!
Yes We can...
Obama/BIden 08

WOW..y'all read Michelle's blog about the absentee ballots ????? now, thats scary..I am voting IN PERSON...not taking any chances this election year..I too, would suggest you look closely at any absentee ballots you get, you just "might" get cheated out of your votes !!!!

Florida will go red. Mark my word.

I hope the repubs are ready themself for the surprise.

Landslide Obama/Biden.

Since Palin scares everyone with her getting away with dirty tricks from Alaska, then don't vote for her. I think on the news CNN yesterday a lot of people are walking away because she has no new stuff to offer the public except her stump speech. People ask her questions and make her answer.

Plouffe is right about the potential turnout and registration gains for Obama in Florida. However, whether Florida can hold a fair and competent election remains to be seen. Our officials have just enacted a controversial "no match, no vote" law with less than 2 months to go until Election Day. The Florida voting public needs to be made aware of this new law and how it will affect the upcoming presidential election.

I Will Vote For The Person With The Best Plan To Fix This Country! Since Mccain Has Not Told Of What He Would Actually Do And Obama Has I Will Vote Obama! I Am In A Red State But I Will Vote It Blue!

Come Nov 4 America will get the government it deserves!!!

It's a sad commentary that a "black" man or woman is maligned and prejudiced by the likes of Lynn Forester de Rothschild simply because they are educated. She indicates that the reason(s) she is endorsing McCain is that she doesn't like Obama and that she feels he is an elitist. Why is he an elitist. Simply because he achieved an education on the highest level; is articulate; and intelligent, does not make him an elitist. However, because he has achieved the aforementioned maybe people like Ms. Rothschild, deep down, have an inferiority complex, and deal with it by making rash and irrational decisions. For she obviously does not have geniune concerns about the direction of the country–Obama's policys are much more in line with Hillary's as opposed to McCain's– yet she has elected to give her support to Mc.Cain. Simply stated, at the very least, she is a hypocrite.

Page Six: "Hockey mom Sarah Palin not only wore lipstick to the Republican National Convention, the vice-presidential candidate wore a shantung silk Valentino jacket worth $2,500. Insiders tell Page Six Palin has a secretive circle of stylists who dress her for events. For her big speech in St. Paul, where she accepted the GOP's vice-presidential nod, this fashion-conscious team encouraged the Alaska governor to splurge on a $2,500 jacket from Saks Fifth Avenue designed by Valentino Garavani. … Presidential nominee John McCain's wife, Cindy, recently took some heat after Vanity Fair itemized the cost of her wardrobe during her RNC speech with Laura Bush to a whopping $300,000 worth of designer wear and diamonds."

McCAIN CAMPAIGN = ELITIST PACKAGED AS "REFORMERS" –

NOT THIS TIME

We are working hard in Florida to build support for Obama.
Si se puede!

The new math defined by Oprah. 96% of the Black population will vote for Obama regardless of his qualifications.If he was white 96% would not vote for Obama. Oprah validates that theory. This changes the dynamics of state votes. Approximately 60% of the white population will vote for MCain because he is white. 40% will vote because of his qualifications. The true tie breakers and really the true thinkers is the hispanic population. They will vote their pocket book. And not only that only a smaller percentage would vote for an hispanic candidate unless he was qualified. The Oprah/OJSimpson syndrome is present and accounted for-look at the math.

We truly need real campaign reform and limits on expenditures. Just think of how many college educations these kind of advertisement costs could fund. Maybe, just maybe, we should be putting our money into education and other areas to advance the American public instead of into ads to advance the power and prestige of a few people. Isn't it ironic that more money is spent on winning an elected position than that position would pay if you held it a lifetime!

Barack Obama wants to give a $4000 college credit each year to students who do community service. Each person who attended the fund raising dinner last night for him could have paid for 7 years of that $4000 for one student. I guess that money is much better spent on campaign ads. Let's put our money where it will do the most good to promote people not agendas.

The endorsement of McCain by Mrs. Forester, a Clinton backer, should be an eye opener for all Americans. It resonates that the McCain/Paling ticket is not for us, AVERAGE Americans. It is a R-E-A-C-T-I-O-N to Banking Regulations that Obama announced yesterday if he is elected in November. She knows that McCain, the biggest DEREGULATOR in the Senate, will continue to be if he is elected. McCain/Palin is the ticket b-a-b-y!!! It is time to jump off the ship because the a-v-a-l-a-n-c-h-e is coming.

Obama/Biden 08 – 12

I've said for a while that this election is not about Obama vs. McCain. If you are voting on that premise this time around God help us.

Harry Truman said: "How many times do you have to get hit on the back of the head with a 2X4 before you figure out who's doing it to you!"

WE have the worst economy since the depresion. It was made that way by McCain's chief economist: Phil Graham. Graham is the chief architect and promoter of deregulation and the free-for-all that caused this meltdown. McCain was one of Graham's cronies in the Republican Senate.

(By the way (hint) I work for UBS and was appalled that CEO Martin Holkstra would bring Graham in to ask for money for his PAC. Take a look at where UBS is today.)

If America has a lick of brains in its head it will forget about race, or personalities, or experience – and simply vote across the board to get the Republicans OUT of the pilot house.

If you like Obama all the better, but deffinitely don't put a Republican in that seat is you value America.

Obama has already pulled off an upset victory in the Democratic Primary, his campaign usually picks up speed inthe last month or two of the contest and Obama/Biden are superb closers. I would not get too comfortable, If I were McCain; a 5-10 point lead in a state like Florida is not insurmountable and on Super Tuesday, when Clinton was supposed to wrap up the nomination – it didn't happen! Palin's luster is about to fade and McCain is sure to be revealed as the two-faced, political player that he is. The McCain effort has peaked and there is nowhere to go now – but down!

florida has the highest foreclosure rate of any state in the country. How can John Mccain be leading in the polls there??????????????? It soesn't make ANY sense.
Actually it does. People who have lost their holmes cant be polled. So forget the polls, the only poll that matters is election day, and then the chickens will come home to roost and the Republicans will get what they deserve. To be kicked out on their buts!

OBAMITES ARE SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS NOW.....

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PROMISE OF BARACK HUSSEIN?
HE SHOULD BE LEADING REPUBLICANS BY 20 POINTS AND HE IS DEAD EVEN WITH THE WAR HERO AND THE MAVERICK!

WHAT A SHAME....WHAT A SHAME

PLS PLS BRING BACK HILLARY CLINTON TO SAVE OUR PARTY

IF YOUR NOT FOR OBAMA....YOUR A RACIST!! WOW...are my fellow DEMOCRATS THAT HATEFUL....HOW FAR LEFT DID WE GO....I REMEMBER A GREAT MAN CALLED PRESIDENT CLINTON....I THOUGHT HE WAS THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT....

I live in Florida. In the Jacksonville area and I can say that there are alot of support for Barack. I see all the time people with t shirts of him and I see all kinds of things. I say People really please wake up and see the light. If you want change and you want results of a better life then vote ofr Obama/Biden. If you want more of the same and have the last eight years thrown right back at you in your face then you vote for Mccain.Palin then.

Are the polls "rigged"? If Obama were running away with the race, no one would be watching the news. If the Democrats think they are loosing, they may decide to change their message or take drastic measures, when they are actually winning handily. The polls also influence the electorate. "Rigging" the polls is a win for the corporate owned media, and a win for the Republicans (Corporate America). Don't believe the polls!

Its ok to vote for a white person in the USA.

Republican officials in Michigan are also attempt ing to exclude voters based on foreclosure lists...THIS IS WHY THE POLITICIZATION OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS SUCH A BIG DEAL!!!!!

To all you people who say that trying to turn these red states blue is stupid, you may be in for a surprise. You see, as you sit back and "trust" that these states will be yours in November, me and my fellow supporters are working our tails off to bring in new voters and talk to people in the streets. You can look at the polls all you want, but remember they don't include new voters and people who only have cell phones.

For all of you that think that we've given up on GA, I can't wait to see the looks on your faces. I won't tell you the numbers that we've registered in GA, but I'm one person who likes to live in a blue state. I'm from GA.

No way obama is going to win those red states. Just wasting all his campaign fund. McCain is the best to run the country, he is definitely not Bush at all. A true patriot American for the country. Obama change for what?? For worst!!

Organization.

Is synonymous with Obama. McCain really can't hang here.

And would somebody please define 'elitist' or 'elitism' for me? Because I don't see how this applies to Obama.

Besides, we've had "Uncle George" in the white house for 8 years and what do we have to show for it?

Where's Mike Huckabee? I remembered he once preached about making the government more transparent to the public.

We did it to ourselves when, We The People, of the United States did not DEMAND perfection from our government.

Brilliant Strategy for a brilliant Campaign!
Obama/Biden 08 & 12

This Hillary supporter will switch to be Independent and will vote for Republican this election the first time ever!

I truly believe that millions of Hill backers out there have the same feeling about DNC and Obama followers who are willing to say anything at all if you don't go along with them: Racist, uneducated low income people, pigs vs lipstick..... How low they can go???

I believe that Americans are smart enough to see through this!

WIn FLorida? Nah. The WhiteHouse, yes, but not Florida.

The only thing that the McCain campagin has to have on the ground is a lot of lawyers and security to stop the tactics that Obama used on Clinton. In houston he used the blacks to lock out Clinton supporters and to intimidate them from entering caucauses and bus them from one caucause to the next to be recounted again. The republicans will not stand for this. The republicans need to have plenty observers at each voting poll and identification should be shown. John Kennedy who he likes to mimick won his election in Chicago thru voter fraud by Dailey and other politicians having voting boxes stolen and dead people voting.

Mufffy...

Florida has more brain surgeons than nearly any other state in the U.S.–and a whole lot of gun owners too. But very few Floridians are racists–hell most all of us are from northern states originally!!

True...the reason for this is because our helmet laws-allow personal choice...rather than dictating the safety equipment (a personal freedom–you know kind of like being able to have a designated smoking area, or a neighborhood bar, or eat butter/bacon) our legislators have allowed us to have a little personal freedom and liberty.

Wow, all these liberal views. Hope Obama can keep his balance on the pedestal you have him on. What makes you think either of the candidates have that much control over the econonomy or jobs?? Do you really think Obama can create all these great jobs? Give you "free" healthcare? Clintons had 8 years to reform healthcare. Did that happen? Not criticizing their attempt, just stating it isn't that easy, unless you want socialized medicine. Obamas policies will hurt the economy and eliminate more jobs. You cannot keep taxing everything. Yes, he promises an INCOME tax reduction. There are a lot of taxes he will increase. With gas being outrageous, remember he is the one who was against giving the American people a break from taxes on gas. He promises to put more taxes on the oil industry. Yeah, that will help with gas prices!! Bottom line, regardless of what promises come out of either side. Democrats are always for more taxes and spending on social programs. Republicans are always for less taxes and the belief you can spend your hard earned money as you see fit. Repbulcians have always been the ones to encourage businesses of all sizes to grow and hire people, that is the solution to jobs. We don't need any more taxes, we all pay enough. We need government to quit wasting all our money. Like Dr. Phil always says...You can't solve money problems with money. So True!!

Is this David Plouff, that worked with Obama, to get a 100,000. grant for the Priest that made the racial slams on Hillary Clinton, why YES it IS. He is like all the rest of Obama's friends in chicago, racists, bigots and anti-American radicals along with Obama's campain mgr whom is working for Un. Chicago Med. Ctr. with Michelle, to get poor people that need medical help to not come to the RICH University Hospital ER, instead either die or travel to poorer clinics for help. Obama your a freakin Fraud, you only think your fooling some people. By the way I don't see McCain as any much better but I think he is more genuine.

Sure would like to see him here in GA – there are a lot of people sick to death of the economy issues here. Perhaps they will overlook their racism to vote their wallet... if not common sense.

Thank you, Obama-crats, for nominating the most liberal senator in the senate. So, even though you make pathetic attempts to paint opposition as racist, North Carolina is McCain country.

Yes we can !!

Obama/Biden 08

The Political Ticker polls from TIme Magazine Opinion Research Corp haven't been right yet! I don't need an Opinion Poll to tell me who is going to win this election. The choice is between more of the same and Certain Death to America or Change We Can Believe In. Those who will back the first choice are the die hard party line voters who wouldn't know a Liar and a Con-Artist even they were to sic their Pit Bull on them and it bit them in the A–! Lucky for them we will be ensuring the Pit Bull stays in the Dog House!

November cannot get here fast enough.....

ummm CNN, quick question...where is the article about 6 Womens' Rights groups endorsing Obama??? i have seen it on other websites and not here....hmmm, just wondering

GOBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012

FLORIDA......ANY PROBLEMS THIS YEAR I HONESTLY THINK WE SHOULD VOTE TO HAVE YOUR VOTE SUSPENDED FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION......... THE THREE STRIKES RULE........

OBAMA/BIDEN ARE FOR ORDINARY GUYS.PEOPLE PLEASE VOTE WITH YOUR HEAD.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I am flabbergasted that there are people out there stupid enough to give the Republicans another go at the White House.

Obama/Biden 08

s p e n d-–mo r e-–m o n ey--on--o b a m a--no t---

t alking--–elitist

YES WE CAN!

I don't care what the 24-hour spin cycle churns out between now and November. Obama's campaign and ground game has always been far superior to any other candidate out there. I've volunteered for the campaign, and I can tell you the operation is FIRST RATE.

Obama knows how to organize. Obama is ready to lead. Obama will bring the change to Washington this country so desperately needs.

Obama/Biden '08!!!

»FLORIDA is John McCain territory!...HURRAH for Florida! HURRAH for...McCain/Palin.Yes.

Anonymous – "palin scares me to death,"

I thought Palin was running for VP. Well, Obama scares me to death, and he's running for Pres. I'm from Orlando and a lot of us are independents. Most everyone I know will be voting for McCain. Obama has his work cut for him.

McCain/Palin 08

Considering all the recent commotion over missing ballots in Palm Beach County, this presidential election may again be decided by vote machines, not the American people.

Why hasn't the voting process been made fail-safe since the fiascos of 2000 and 2004? Because the Republicans have been in power.

"'Plouffe' is the sounds this guy makes when he breaks wind." – Tom

and it's pions like you that will vote for McCain...oh sorry, am I being too uppity for you??

»Governor Sarah Palin!...Sarah Palin!...Palin!...»I LOVE YOU!...»HURRAH for this AWESOME Presidential Ticket/Team=John "great man" McCain/Sarah "so interesting" Palin!...YES!

»McCain/Palin 08» OF COURSE!!

»Well said,JohnBoy.

DAKI
I agree with you 100%, they are just old racist fools. the bright side is, soon the old idiots will die off, and racism in this country won't be as bad. they are the ones who continue to encourage racism.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT

PALIN/mcShame, yes the order is right incase anybody was wondering.

These people against Obama, many are racists meaning they are dumb and some are just DUMB. Florida is not a state filled with brain surgeons, many are racists because they were brought up that way. I don't see how any senior could vote for McStupid with Palin on the ticket, guess they are not even smart enough to see thru her neo-con ways. God in Heaven help us if she ever gets elected we will be wishing Bush was back. I am terrified at the thought, she is more corrupt than McAltzheimers.

»HURRAH for Sarah Palin!...This WONDERFUL Lady is the next Vice-President. Yes.

Is there a doctor in the house?

Which Doctor would you Choose?

Dr. Republican are Dr. Democrat

You have a decision to make on the Dr. but not much time.

America is very sick and America need a serious operation because America is in the emergency room and the operation is major.

When you are sick and in the operating room does it matter on the Doctor race, gender,are sexual preference,that he/she have. You just want to get well. Not a quick fix but a permanent fix. So that you don't have to go back anymore.

The operation will require more than 24 hours The first Doctor will need some sleep and will need more Doctors on his/her staff to carry the operation through under his/her supervision.

Now which Dr. would you choose?

The Republicans are the Democrats.

»HURRAH for McCain/Pain!... Yes.

All the purple states will go to Obama/Biden! Maybe even Alaska!

TAX THE RICH

TAX THE RICH

TAX THE RICH

How stupid the Democrats think Americans are.

Good try Obama but you will lose, no one will vote for more taxes.

McCain 08

Obama Will win florida we love him here in miami

IT JUST GOES TO SHOW "THE OBAMA TEAM" IS DESPERATE....PALIIN SCARED THEM....THEYRE SCRAMBLING....THEYRE DESPERATE!! WHAT A JOKE

Floridians, Vote Democratic this year. Your future depends on it. Ask yourself 'ARE YOU BETTER OFF THAN YOU WERE 4/8 YEARS AGO?"
Vote Obama/Biden 08

Obama has no record to run on because he voted present 130 times when he could have made a difference. This should tell you something.

»Next President=John McCain. Next Vice-President=The LOVELY Sarah Palin. NO DOUBTS about it. All right.

If the voters of America can not see that we need a " Real Change" from what has been happening in the past, then they deserve what they vote for...... that's the "bottom line" in this election...The ship is taking on water and sinking, ither we fix the hole or "jump ship" before it is really to late.....a "change of direction" alone will do us no good, we need a new skipper!

as a state why would they vote for a man thats going to tax their health care–aren't people aware of this ? McCain is going to screw them big time

this lady should be a republican anyway... Obama must not fit into her tax braek for rich system...

but she is a hottie, i can see why she has all that $$$$

»The Americans are NOT DUMB!...The GREAT man John McCain will WIN!...Of course.

IT'S MORNING IN AMERICA, AND THE TAXPAYERS ARE BEING FORCED TO BAIL OUT AIG........BUSH/CHENEY/McCAIN POLICIES AT WORK. NOTHING FOR THE POOR BILLIONS FOR THE WEALTHY.

It is time to fight for the states we need to win the election!! McCain and his "Blackberry" friends who can't run a PC company must be stopped. The 50 state plan is a great one that engages the vital 2008 election battleground states. DO NOT FORSAKE THE NATION FLORIDA.

Obama/Biden 08
Hope for Change, Hope for Direction, Hope for the future

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Oprahbama lose decisively in Florida to Hillary?? I think so.. What on earth makes him think he will relate to the people in Florida?

»I LOVE Sarah Palin!...She is so GREAT!...HURRAH for McCain!...HURRAH for Sarah Palin!...(The WINNERS os this Presidential election,of course). YES!

I will be so glad when this election is over. We had better just pray harder that regardless who is elected they fix this country. We are in a terrible crisis. Forget the party and vote for the person that is the stronger leader. They live in this country too so I think they will do what is best for our people as this will effect them as well.

Plouffe, Please keep doing the right thing. I SUPPORT YOU 100%.

Just the amount of work done by volunteers in the Obama campaign offices is staggering and far exceeds any price tag the camp puts on it.

Negative numbers for the GOP. I guess the more reasonable people left and just the fanatics remain.

Spin!!!

These guys are voting against Obama's color and not his policies. Lay them side by side with McCain and it is a big chasm. McCain doesn't even understand basic things. How can America hand a complex economy and complicated geo-politics in the world to a POW with little knoeledge and basic education. The world needs and intelligent, smart leader. Not a leader whose only power is in the barrel. John McCain cannot run for president in any African country.

Lots of bigots in Florida. I have been disappointed the last two elections. It's been a crappy time to live in the United States these last 8 years. I'm just so tired of the ignorance of so many.

»Americans are NOT dumb!...The GREAT man John McCain will WIN. And the WONDERFUL Sarah Palin will be the next Vice-President. Of course.

I don't think they should waste their money in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Montana or North Dakota. They need to secure Pennsylvania, the polls are very tight there, If McCain wins PA it will be over and won't matter what happens out west. I think Missouri is a lost cause too but Ohio is still up for grabs. Not that it matters if PA is lost.

Wasted effort. The Flori-duhs love to help the rich, borrow and spend and vote for uniters, not dividers.

Never underrate that campaign of Obama.
Don't give credit to the polls. They don't contain NEW registered voters and cell phone owners. Barack is running an extraordinary campaign. Look at HOW MANY people campaign for him in the battleground states. This is unbelievable. McCain is just a snob, he doesn't care for the little man's need, for what workers need. He's the campaigner for the rich, and that's why FOR HIM; THE ECONOMY IS STILL STRONG!
But wait and see what happens Nov. 4th.
If just every 2nd NEW registered voters also does vote, and a majority of them does for Obama, I PROMISE YOU, he will win easily one battleground state after the other and will be known as "Obama 44" – The President of the United States of America, and the 3rd one from Illinois.

Palin fever has already waned. She flew too close to the sun, she burned and come crashing down. We were just getting to know her, we were just getting to know her...

To know her is to love her not.

According to the map, Michigan is a battleground state, but not the upper peninsula.

The demoncrate are on the right track because Obama volunteer have been in numbers registering new voters I have seen a least 10 a day registering people to vote and they ask people do you need a ride to the polling place this what you call a winning team.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama campaign, if they see you offering specifics on the economy while Mccain uses fear tactics, they will be more interested in what you have to say! Take questions from regular folks, answer them with example's and details, and put that on the airwave's, you have the money, go for it! They will be shocked at how specific you are and see you have a clear plan, while Mcsame just talks and talks. They will see him as an old senile fool if he doesn't offer specifics.

People please REGISTER TO VOTE and vote! We can do all the talking but to make change we need to VOTE. Its really easy not..go to declareyourself dot com.......DECLEAR YOUR VOICE! We have been fooled enough, let vote for CHANGE!

Just a young American sick of the games!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

So how much vote caging will the Reptilicans attempt this time around? Between the socialist bailouts of Fannie, Freddy and now AIG, this country is turning into a Neo-con Banana Republic before our very eyes...

I volunteer for campaign here in Florida. I go to one of the major universities. There is large support for Obama at my university; however, there is just too many conservatives in this state. I will work hard like thousands of others to deliver florida for Barack. I tell you this america. It will not be a small task.

Lets go Barack the Vote!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

The Best Choice For America IS OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Why would anyone reward the republican party with another 4 years after the disaster of the last 8? You don't reward bad behavior!

I live in Florida and I believe Obama can take it. The economy is really bad for most of us. Obama has the only plan to really help us. GO OBAMA!

Yes they are all so blind by not seeing what will happen to them if they vote for Mccain, you guys are all racits and voting for Sarah, you all hope something will happen to John if he gets in, so Sarah can get in, dont be to hasty Johns mother is 96, so he could be around a while. Sarah says it was a task of God for the Iraq war, surely then it will be a task of God not to let these two win the election.

It's a great move. At the least, McCain has to spend equal to defend it while we go after Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Ohio, North Carolina, and Indiana. All we have to do is take a combination 1-3 of those states (even excluding Florida and Ohio) and cha-ching – BO is our President! Bye Bye McSame. Your strategy failed when you picked someone who is slowly ebbing away at your support after 10 days.

A $39.5 million "battle" plan? I continued to be appalled at the amount of money going to the campaigns - wherever it is coming from. It's a shame that so much money is is spent to elect a President during these economic times.

florida has the highest foreclosure rate of any state in the country. How can John Mccain be leading in the polls there??????????????? It soesn't make ANY sense.

THE NATION IS CONVINCED THAT ,MC CAIN – PALIN TICKET ARE THE BEST. THEY KNOW VERY WELL HOW IS THE WAY IN WHICH INDUSTRIES AND COMMERCE ARE ORGANIZED. THEY KNOW HOW TO FACE GOVERNMENT FINANCIALS DISASTER AND ACHIEVE THE INDUSTRY AND TRADE SUCCESS.,WITH TRUE AND REAL IMPROVEMENTS. THEY WILL OVERHAUL THE LEGAL SYSTEM, FACING THE ORGANIZED CRIME, CORRUPTION,ILLEGAL DRUGS, SCHOOL PROBLEMS AT ALL LEVEL EXAMINE IT VERY CAREFUL,WITH REAL IMPROVEMENTS., . NOW IS TIME TO SUPPORT MC CAIN -PALIN TICKET, PLACING THE COUNTRY FIRST. LET BE LOYAL TO OUR COUNTRY WITH MORE SENSE OF

Wake up America.

McCain and Palin are acting just like Bush and Cheney.

"palin scares me to death,"

Why? Obama with his huge government proposals is much scarier. Plus many of his "change" policies involve stupid decisions like repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

That's really funny!

Hey Floridians, remember that these are the same clowns that fought tooth and nail to dis-enfranchise you in the democratic primary because it suited their interest at the time. Now all of the sudden they're courting you again.

I sincerely think that Plouffe is Karl Rove's long lost twin brother. They both have the same slimy tendencies.

Can someone please tell me where these polls are getting their data.I am here in the red state of Georgia and would be hard pressed to find anyone voting for the McCain/Palin ticket

I think the media and pundits are going to be quite surprised by Obama's margin of victory in both popular and electoral votes.

Good job David.
We know that, we wil get it. I do not care about so called democrates.
MsSAME and MC SHAME do not understand economic problems. We should elect someone, who will help America, despite his colour. all of us have RED BLOOD and white BRAIN.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008-2012

CNN this a great story for you to follow up on. Find out who is sending out these so call ballots. It is not only deceitful but illegal. Think of all the good press you would get if you can break this story wide open and expose those involved.

Go get them CNN for us all.

Yes, the Dems will win Florida... Why not Georgia too?

The Dem Platform: You must vote for Oblama because he is black and entitled! IF you vote for anyone other than Oblama, you are a RACIST!

THANKS, I THINK I GET IT!

People are suffering all over and it is so sad. I'm a nurse administrator at a big hospital in NC. I had an employee in my office one day sick as a dog, crying in pain. I tried to get her to the hospital emergency room for treatment but she refused because as a new employee her benefits hadn't kicked in yet and therefore would be responsible for the whole ER bill, so she would rather seek treatment elsewhere than the excellent and life saving treatment that would have been provided by the ER. Now, what does McBlackberryinventor have to say to this calamity other than his doggone LIES LIES LIES. People pls, come November vote wisely so I or any other manager would not have to go through this again

Debby, you never have something to say – could you not simply shut up?

Hey Obama say bye ,bye to Florida

I'm voting for Obama! It's time to clean the whitehouse from the last 8 years of Republican Slime!

Florida supposedly has a large number of older Americans. Under Obama's plan, seniors making less than $50,000 would pay NO income taxes.

I hate beeng lied too and if they are polititions then i call them crooks.

McCain sourrounds himself with lobbyists, these are crooks too.

Washington is full of crooks.

Foks we don't want any more crooks in the white house. McCain and Palin are just the same.

Obama / Biden 08

YES WE CAN!!!

Get out and vote Florida for Obama/Biden or who you want to. Go Obama/Biden

I am doing my part, getting family, friends and strangers registered to vote as a Democrat.

I am with you all the way! I have also been making my monthly contribution, this month I gave $500.; let's see what record he breaks in September!

Obama-Biden '08

Why isn't the media talking about the details Michelle has outlined? Is this going to be another rigged election by the party that brags about being part of the "greatest" democracy on eath.

Why does no other western democracy have these problems?

Hey Michelle;
I received one of those things in my mail the other day and I live in VA. I knew I should of kept it as it smelled of something bad on John McLies campagin. I threw it away as I saw what it was.

I have a tough time believing these poll numbers coming out especially in states like FL, OH, VA, where the Obama campain has registered 300,000+ people in each state. The final poll will show on Nov. 4. Come on Dems...Lets take it all the way to the White House. Make sure all your friends, family, neighbors, enemies for all i care are registered by the deadlines for each state...Thanks!

Daki: "It has to be racism or stupidity make your choice which one, either will hurt you in the end."

I think it's probably both.

I like that Obama is fighting for North Dakota, Indiana, and Virginia, because even if he doesn't win there, he's forcing McCain to spend time and money there. And if he does win in those states, all the better. He's redefining the battleground states, and making it clear that he's not going to settle for safe Democrat state and a handful of battlegrounds, he's going to fight for every state and make sure everybody has a piece of his campaign.

OBAMA NEVER WANTED THE VOTES IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN TO BE COUNTED.

THEY WERE IRRELEVANT TO THE DEMOCRATS.
THE DNC SAID THEIR DELEGATES WOULD NOT BE SEATED.
HILLARY APPOINTED OBAMA BY ACCLAMATION.

I BELIEVE FLORIDA WILL DUMP THE DEMOCRATS IN 2008.

I am working on it! Florida is in a financial mess and yet a lot of people want to keep electing those who either helped create it or support the economic policies of those who did! I will be going door-to-door and making many phone calls for Obama/Biden until the polls close on Nov. 4th. We have got to turn the state Blue for prosperity for all!

Lisa T. Lake Wales, Florida

This is the smartest guy ever in american campaign history. Who manages a new guy and never bankrupt up to this point. You deserve all the credit David i dont care what any empty headed, liars will call you. You are the best. Please keep the fight on and let everyone know what the GOP in Florida are trying to do. Denying people who are loosing their homes to foreclosures the right to vote. They now see they are loosing florida and they came up with lists of names...Keep up the good work....FOR ALL AMERICANS PLS JOIN ME TO TELL THE GOP IN FLORIDA TO CANCEL THE LIST TO STOP VOTERS FROM VOTING!!! ITS THEIR RIGHT DONT TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM!

Smart move to inform voters in Florida and remind them of the debacle from previous elections.

Yes I too Saw Absentee ballots in Missouri as some one pointed out earlier. Be careful of what you do so that you do not get scammed into no vote

Bring the heat Obama!!!!

Obama/Biden 08

Oh, I think Florida has Obama's number and arent impressed. Too bad the only other viable candidate is McCain. What a disaster.

Go and get all of them.,
McCain/Pallin scre the hell out of ME

Plouffe and Axelrod are two of the smartest men in America.

Obama 08

People are suffering, Ann?? How big is your new TV, IPod, swimming pool?? How much did you pay for your foreign car?

Plouffe has been brilliant, but I sense now is the time to take control of the economic message and close this thing out.

Go Obama! Beat the lying fraud McSame and his Caribou Barbie scandal machine!

I'm in PA and voting for Obama. If Obama is elected I think America has a better chance at redeeming itself.

Whatever one may think of the Clintons, we can probably agree Bill Clinton ranks as one of the great political minds of our time.

He has said that the American people are more drawn to candidates who give quick confident answers than to those who think their answers out - irrespective of what those answers are.

I fear that observation explains the election and re-election of George W. Bush, as well as the current McCain-Palin lead.

Sad . . .

Trying to brainwash Fla. now O.B. You are such a joke. You have your naive supporters believing you can do anything. You really show their mortality through you. All you have brought in change is hate. You O.B. followers are a bunch of haters and are going to be his defeat in Nov. America is getting tired of his dirty chicago tactics ,and his hating followers. O.B. started the neg. tactics from the begining of this race. You naive morons cant see that.

Obama an elitist? Who is she call call anyone an elitist? She needs to take a long look in the mirror.
I hope the DNC platform comm. publicly flogs her!

am a 35 year old married stay at home mom of 2 toddlers that lives in Canada and we watch CNN from 4pm until 11pm every night. I’m not an American, I don’t get to vote, why am I doing this? Because we are pulling for you America, the world is watching and all of us except a few bad guys want too see a brighter future for the US. Not one person in Canada fears a medical problem whether it be an ear infection or cancer because of what it costs or worries if it is or isn’t covered by insurance. If I had to be the mom I am in the US and have these worries I’d be scared everyday and that thought sickens me that a country as wonderful as the US puts parents through this. That one issue alone would make me vote for Obama. Oh and by the way we laughed in shock when McCain said Bureaucrats would come between you and your doctor under a Universal Health Plan at his convention. That is a lie.

Let's go people. Everybody stand up for change from the McCain/Bush government and vote for a man with integrity and with honor, Barack Obama and Joe Biden!!!

People won't be worried about paying taxes under Obama when they have no job because he destroyed businesses, small and large alike.

People who don't work, don't pay taxes. The remaining few lucky enough to keep a job will pick up their tab. Such is the downfall of Socialism.

Are we going to see another stolen election?Can't the current Republican Administration win without resorting to putting phoney absentee ballots in peoples mail boxes.Some change..they purgeed the voting rolls in Forida ,made people wait in line in Ohio in 2004 for up to 7 hours,the last time and here we go again.Sleeze never changes..do we really need more of the same?

Since Mccain is so close to Bush I'm sure the Florida Ballots will end up on Scary Movie again Ha! Ha!

Texas should be added to this list
Obama has a good shot here but he need to include it in his campaign strategy

It appears that Obama is trying to win all Red states. Is it possible? No way, just wasting all his resources for nothing. I bet he will also lose all the narrowly blue states captured by kerry in 2004. That is what i will called CHANGE!From blue to red.

Mr. Obama your Florida Contrabution is ready for pick up you may pick it up on I-95......And, thank you for your Support....Cheese and Rice give me a break Florida was not the reason that anyone lost....AL GORE was the reason that the Democratics....Now why when AL was in trouble didn't Hillary or Bill come to his rescue during that election? AL GORE lost it for all the reasons Hillary could not win durring this election....They are Money Laundering, Embezzeling, Hipocrites, Hung up on Power to commit these crimes to the same people they are requesting their support from......and guess what they are not rolling on the floor laughing their A#! off this time........

Let's hope that this year the citizens of Florida will be smart enough to use a ballot correctly, not like in 2000.

Honestly, Floridians, if you don't understand the ballot, ask an election official. Don't just poke blindly.

It is really not that difficult.

Laugh all you want. I live in Florida and I have witnessed the voter registration drives of the Obama campaign. McCain spends his money on ads while Obama is hustling on the ground, using the internet and ads. The anti-Obama crowd rally around current poll numbers and conclude that Obama is in a "dire" situation. I am sickened each morning at the sound of Joe Scarborough harping over poll numbers. The media is just now paying attention to Obama's ground game, which has been in play since day 1. These subtle yet significant moves are going to be the shock and awe of this election!

Why havent I seen any coverage of the States that have alleged this voter fraud.

I have heard on the radio the same stories of FAKE absentee ballots sent by the GOP to registered Dems in some battleground States.

Please media-ANY media outlet-Investigate this and report on this story. I see so much fluff news about Palin but this story needs attention,FAST!

Is anyone else getting tired of hearing Palin's grating shrill nasal voice yelling out the same lies over and over and over?

I can't take any more of her voice or her "lack of" message. My mute button is just about worn out.

It's the economy, stupid.

It always has been.

Obama 08

Florida is corrupt!! Always has been, always will be.

Obama should be making Florida a priority!

Michelle, Pa,

I live in Virginia and received the exact same ballot with McCain's picture on it. The ballot had my address but an incorrect name. Of course I threw it away. Is this legal?

THEY PANIC. OBAMA DESPERATE. NO HRC - NO OBAMA.

Lets just hope Florida doesn't screw up the election again this year.

Obama / Biden 08.

It's time for Florida to CHANGE from red to BLUE!

Florida will be very, very close…. but when Florida voters (especially Independents and moderate Republicans) realize that only Obama has the credibility (see McCain’s Phil Gramm ties and pro-banking, finance, insurace deregulation legislation), the judgement (see support from Warren Buffett) and the right plan (see new 2 minute ad) to get THE ECONOMY back on track, Florida will be in the blue column by election day.

Hey Good People of Florida. Here is from a member of the DNC, What a smart intelligent woman. As she says,

“This isn't a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

I have to agree with her as well. I too am a former Hilliary backer, but I can never support Obama

He is risky and it would be a roll of the dice with our national security. And he will tax us until we don't have any money left

Thanks Michelle, PA for the WARNING. CNN do your job and look into it!!

Good move Obama...you can't win Florida...so waste some money there...

Obama and Biden have a good team behind them and the Obama campaign are actually running on issue not On stupid Lipstick that will no lower the price of gas our food. Mccain and his Campaign of Liars will fall Just like this week because the American people want to know how the Campaign is going to lower gas and food prices and bring affordable healthcare to all American Obama Biden has a Plan Mccain and the Palin They just talk about reform and how they will change washington But Palin is trying to stop a legal invesigation? Obama Biden is the clear choice in this election. Google Troopergate and Keating 5

We will never know if Gore won Florida, just as we will never know if Kerry really won Ohio. The last two elections were tainted, at best. Many still think the voting process itself was rigged for the Shrub and crew. The American people were robbed twice in a row - will there be yet a third time?

That is the way to go David Plouffe, keep up the good work for ordinary Americans!
McCain/Palin said they are going to reform Washigton, but they could not even maintain transparency for "Troopgate investigation"! What hypocrites you are! Is it how you are going to reform and "change" (which you have stolen from Obama) Washington!
Shame on you for all your lies and fabrications! Americans deserve better than that, when people are suffering due to incompetence of the Republican administration under George Bush, you are busy lying, fabricating truth, pandering? Very sad indeed!

Floridans beware! McCain wants to destroy your tourism with oil spills and rusty riggs that will save us all a whole $0.02 in seven years! Just pray he doesn't outsource your tourism industry!

FLORIDIANS HOW CAN YOU EVEN LISTEN TO THIS LIAR. REMEMBER HE, ALONG WITH DEAN, KENNEDY, PELOSI, KERRY, RICHARDSON, BYRD AND ETC OF THE DNC DID NOT WANT YOU VOTING. THEY WANTED TO KEEP YOU OUT JUST LIKE GEORGE BUSH DID IT TO YOU IN 2000. OBAMA THEN FOUGHT AGAINST YOUR DELEGATES BEING SEATED. NOW HE AND THE DNC ARE HOLDING THE CLINTONS HOSTAGE FORCING THEM TO CAMPAIGN FOR OBAMA. DON'T LISTEN TO A LIAR. VOTE INDEPENDENT , DON'T VOTE AT ALL OR CHOOSE McCAIN/PALIN THE BETTER CHOICE FOR THE JOB. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR A LIAR (I DIDN'T SUPPORT THE IRAQ WAR WHEN HE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A VOTE IN THE MATTER, MAN) REMEMBER REZKO, REV. WRIGHT, PRIEST PLEGHER AND MANY OTHERS. TOO MANY TO BELIEVE IN THIS SNAKE.

I'm surprised to hear this. My reading of the electoral map completely disregards Florida, and depends on Colorado and New Mexico, where Obama's chances look solid.

I find it funny that Florida being one the states with many older people would vote for a guy who supports policies that will take your social security,make healthcare unaffordable for you,and gamble with your retirement by deregulating financial institutions.It has to be racism or stupidity make your choice which one,either will hurt you in the end.

Watch the GOP try and counter with stupid stuff like what's going on in states where the "house forclosure" crises is going on and the GOP trying to exclude them from voting and sending out absentee ballods to people via mail.

That's right!! It will be the people not the media who elects our next President – Barack Obama!! Take the circus act back to Alaska!

Republicans are already engaged in illegal vote blocking around the country. There are mulitple lawsuits pending because some GOP lawmakers have attempted to block or challenge people's votes who have had there home foreclosed. They will win at absolutely any cost. We need to keep our eyes and ears on them in our local communities to make sure they aren't tampering with people's constitutional right to vote.

This sounds like a sound strategy. One thing Obama and his camp know how to do is run a smooth campaign. I hope they will see success there.

Many people like me changed our registration to Dem because PA has a closed primary and we wanted to vote for HRC. I may still be registered Dem, but that doesn't mean they get my vote.

People are suffering in almost all 50 states (not ones with oil of course), so it makes sense for the Democrats to compete in all of them.

I'd caution on PA. A lot of people re-registered changing their party affiliation to vote during the Democratic primary (PA has a closed primary) as McCain had already locked up the nomination. My guess is a lot of those will go back to the GOP in November. With the exception of Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs, along with Pittsburgh, PA is a pretty culturally conservative state. Hillary trounced Obama here by 10 points.

Right, Obama, the man who completely ignored Florida during the primary and tried to (get this, the democrats favorite word from 2000) "disenfranchise" the voters in Florida.

Why does he bother, they will not forget.

I am a registered Independent in Pennsylvania who has contributed to Obama and another local Democratic candidate this cycle.
In the last 3 days, I have received 14 recorded messages from a female voice who does not identify who she works for, but tells me to check my mailbox for an absentee ballot application so I can "vote against Obama".
Others in PA and who may be getting these calls elsewhere, do not fall for it. Other states including Ohio and Virginia have seen mailings of absentee ballot forms with a picture of McCain on them (but not all are from the McCain campaign itself) that turn out to be incorrect or have wrong information on them – including the address where they are to be mailed, information that needs to be filled in, etc.
Democrat, Republican or Independent – if you use these absentee ballot forms the end result may be that you are scammed out of your vote.
Anyone who needs an absentee ballot should call their County Board of Elections for the proper procedure to request one, and make sure you do it at least 30 days in advance of November 4th.

'Plouffe' is the sounds this guy makes when he breaks wind.

What a non-event.

Obama is going to lose Florida

Way to go, David! Get the message out there!

No McCain – We Won't Get Fooled Again!

How can anyone with an IQ above 100 vote for Bush 44 and the Queen
of Alaska?

The Obama Campaign is thorough if not else.

Thanks...David.

From an article at MSNBC today – "A decade ago, John McCain embraced legislation to broadly deregulate banking and insurance industries. Now the GOP nominee is scrambling to recast himself as a champion of regulation. "

Get rid of the Electoral College, and this would not even be an issue. The Popular Vote should be the only factor for electing the President of the United States. Let all votes count equally! Stop this outdated practice!

Baldwin/Castle 08

David you are brilliant. Obama will win this election.

What all Americans hate is the IRS.The candidate who has the guts to propose a new tax system that is fair to all and doesn't re-distribute wealth would win the election.Flat rate tax,consumption tax, or both in combination.Obama's problem is not about race;it's about income re-distribution which is percieved as synonomous with race.

Get Real!

Florida is a solid RED State......

Maybe the Empty Suit can turn Texas as well! LOL!

McCain/Palin-08-In a Landslide Victory for all!

YES!...

Block by BLOCK....
It is the people...... The People on the bottom need to be informed....

We need a change!

-V

Where is he running these adds in the Panhandle. hahaha

I am one of thousands ordinary Floridians working for Obama...we are on the ground, on the phone, on the net and in the streets working for this man, in all 67 counties. Florida won't go to McCain without a fight and we'll be at the polls protecting voters from the Republican tactics to suppress the Democratic vote....

YES WE CAN!! YES WE WILL!!! Here's 27 electoral votes for Obama-Biden!!

I wish no ill will on anyone, I will start with that but if McCain for some reason or another got sick, I think it would open a lot of eyes and stop this fairy tale. Hello, that would be your president! I am a female and Hillary supporter only because I thought she would have been a great president. Ladies, lets not put woman in there because she is a woman who is not qualified and would put us back 20 years when she fails.

The repukes are trying to steal this election again. It won't happen this time around. One thing polls don't show are how many new voters have been registered. LANDSLIDE!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Yeah David! Bring the battle to them.
Be always on the offensive.
This is our last hope to save the country.
These Repub liars have no shame,no conscience,no heart.

Yes we can!!! We can take this state back from the repubs block by block. Florida is a foreclosure mess.

Obama/ Biden
Thank God for these two great men.

palin scares me to death,

Apparently Sara Palin is not truly loved up there in Alaska as they are trying to make her out. I wish I could include the link on here that shows the Anti-Palin rally in Anchorage that drew more than 1500 PEOPLE. These people are livid that she is a VP candidate and definitely don't want to see her in the white house. What is incredible though is that for Alaska 100 people is considered a great rally but there were 1500 people with signs saying "Voted for her once, NEVER again" or "Northern Extremist" or "Palin is a failure" "too inexperienced". Try and google for articles.

More Dreaming .... Case in point: The state of Florida has always had far more democrats registered then republicans. And you know the results. Florida is RED – Florida is McCain Country.

Florida will be in Obama's column on election day. Our experience in 2000 and 2004 have only toughened us and motivated us to work that much harder. The ground game is and get out the vote operation will be like nothing the repub. party has ever imagined. WE ARE FIERCE IN OUR DETERMINATION!

I see the Attorney General of Alaska, under direction of the governor, has been told to ignore the subpeonas for Troppergate. The panel that voted to issue them was 3 republicans and 2 democrats yet McCain says it is partisan.

Why do people even bother with the law on politicians when it doesn't apply to them?

Dreamer

Sounds like good strategy. I hope it pays off. Obama is never given credit for running a relatively smooth campaign, despite the fact that he has only been on the national scene for a short period of time.

Make sure and visit my sister's block because her bone-headed husband is supporting McCain. He is a disenfranchised Hillary supporter. We need to turn him around!!
