I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America.
I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $4 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America.
I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq, I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country.
----------

And we thank you for your vote.

My fellow Americans in Ohio and Indiana, forget Red and Blue. If you don't want to see your Green completely evaporate, PLEASE pay attention.
Trickle down economics does not work. It never has and it never will. Take a look at Wall Street. You loss your life savings and they go home to their Mansions. The oil companies made over 123 billion dollars PROFIT last year. What did they trickle down? High Gas prices, High food prices and last but not least, NOT ONE JOB for the Americans who they are robbing legally without a gun.

Pay attention People McCain/Palin is not the ticket to vote for.

Were so Sick of Obama we could Puke!! The democrats our the reason for this dying country. Don't be fooled by these sweet talking democrats they been in control of the white house for two years now and did nothing! Pplls are false and misleading and Obama has told some big lies before. We don't care what the dem. say anymore were sick of them and were voting for McCain!

Obama has a record of doing nothing to help anyone.The only legislation he bothered to vote for was the Cheney/Bush energy plan, . His record would be a joke–but it's not funny,–it's scary, he did not even vote on the last stimulous package. His education is no substitute for intelligence and the ability to actually make a wise decision.McCain is willing to make his views known with his votes even if they draw criticism, Obama freezes and does nothing.Democrats wake up to this fraud–Hillary supporter still voting for McCain.

I WILL vote for Obama defenitely because I am tired of McCain's lie after lie. I kind of liked him before but I am turned off completely.

Willing to pay more taxes for the country.

TWO POINTS: TODD HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO SHADOW SARAH, BECAUSE IF HE WERE TO LET HER OUT OF HIS SIGHT, OLD MAN, HORNY MACAIN , WOULD BE TRYING TO BED HER.
SECONDLY, ..EVERYTIME I SEE PALIN AND MACAIN TOGETHER, I GET THIS VISION OF JUDY COLLINS SINGING " SEND IN THE CLOWNS."

Thanks but no thanks to McCain -Palin. Hoosier family for Obama-Biden!!!!

My personal opinion is that this election is not close, I truly think it a blow out for Obama, just look at all the people who have register all across the country for Obama. The only way Mcsame/Palin is going to win this that is that the republicans are going to have to CHEAT like they did in 2000 and 2004 by rigging election machines, denying people to vote in some areas, just look what their trying to do in Mich. now, telling people that are in foreclosure in some counties that they can't vote b/c their house is in foreclosure.

These polls mean nothing.
Kerry, Gore, Carter all were leading in polls, and what happened?

McCain/Palin

Mrs. Palin you are so beautiful, and intelligent. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and offering to take out the political corruption in D.C.

Mrs. Clinton whether you agree with Mrs. Palin or not, maybe it's time to take Sarah's hand and work together. You two would be unstoppable.

Thank you Mr. Clinton for your words today about Sarah Palin. We knew the Clintons saw what most of Americans saw when we first learned about Sarah. She is the breath of fresh politics this country has needed. Please work together with her and share your visions, because through her she will make them happen.

McCain/Palin/Clinton 08

Staying home on Election day September 19th, 2008 3:05 pm ET

Food for thought:
Obama is a lawyer. Most of his friends and his wife are lawyers. How many lawyers do you know that are honest?

Obama says he will raise taxes only on the rich? As a lawyer, he knows that most rich people have lots of lawyers working for them. Lawyers know how to find and use those magical little loopholes out their to get around paying taxes!

Don't trust Lawyers!!!!!!
------

I'm glad you will be staying home on election day; you've clearly shown you have no grasp of reality.

BTW, I am a lawyer, and I have no idea how to avoid paying taxes.

I can't believe this. In this economic disaster situation, american people can't make mistake any more. Then it will be different than reality.

HOW COME THESE POLLSTERS NEVER CALL ME?! OR ANYONE ELSE THAT I KNOW?? Nobody around here is voting for McCain, trust me on that one. The press is trying desperately to keep this race close, when in fact it is not. The country is not going to allow another criminal Republican into the White House for the THIRD time in a row. No way, no how.

FRANKLIN RAINES AN AFRICAN -AMERICAN EX CEO AT FANNIE MAE FRAUD IS SUPPORTING, BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENCIAL CAMPAIGN. MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL FOREIGNERS,ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE BAD MORGAGE LOANS BY FRAUD. MANY ON DEFAULT OTHER ON FORECLOSURE, THAT NOW WILL COST BILLONS OF DOLLARS TO OUR GOVERNMENT. THE SAME CONDITION IS SEEN ON FEDERAL LOANS AND AID FOR OUR USA CITIZEN COLLEGE STUDENTS. THE PROBLEM GROWS EVERY DAY WITH ILLEGALTHAT KEEP COMING FROM MANDELA COUNTRY AND OTHERS//////

We're about to enter the 2nd Great Depression and people would still vote for the policies and people that brought them there?

AMAZING!!!

Don't be afraid of the black man... be afraid of the white nutcase!

HOW CAN THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HAVE CONFIDENCE IN MCCAIN WHEN HE HIMSELF HAS STATED THAT HE IS NO GOOD IN ECONOMICS, AND THEN CONFIRM THIS INCOMPETENCY BY STATING THAT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE ECONOMY ARE STRONG?????

Tom: Did you read the entire article about Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Obviously not. Please do and see what they say about Mr. Mc.

Keep up the dirty campaign and it will be a landslide.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Republicans hate america, show your patriotisim by showing the repugs the door and elect true american patriots from the democratic party.

The Road To Hell Is Paved With republicans!!!

Why doesn't John McCain wear a flag pin?" – Howdy @ 2:59p

Well said, Howdy. Unfortunately, the right-wing zealots have an extremely difficult time seeing what's right in front of their eyes.

Can you say President Obama after nov 4 we can send mccain to one of his 7 houses and send that lying fraud sara palin back to alaska to shoot some more moose and wovles AND PRESIDENT OBAMA CAN CLEAN UP WASHINGTON!

I just saw Sanchez show yet another poll on his show. This one was by gender. How many men supported Obama vs how many supported McCain, etc. I have seen polls by just about everything, including Hispanic voter tendencies (BTW, I am a Cuban born American citizen). But why will you not show a poll by race? Is everyone afraid to show how blacks are voting? Could it be that they are voting along racial lines?

what sucks is my vote doesn't really count. Living in Kansas - I hate the republican nominnee... McPhalin - but with the current way our country works, my state vote is all that matters.

the only thing cnn polls show is schneider cooking the books to keepMVSame from looking too bad. Obama's ahead in every one of the states mentioned . More of I'm John MCAame and I approve tthis lie.

Hopfully Indiana will see the light but I doubt it . They are mostly blue(red) collar & rural, which tend to be conservative and tend not to be progressive enouch to vote for change... they have proven that for 30 yrs! They went for Bush second term over welmingly and you see how that turned out ...They believe the swift boat lies , but to be fair so did many others. I am proud to say I did not! But the state I live in is very red too! So I know the mind set. They will not change because their daddy voted this way!
Ohio is where the Democrats need to double up efforts to move Obama up in the polls , more progressive and willing to listen and I believe they will realize we need change in this country ......

So OHIO it is on your shoulders so DO NOT LET US DOWN!

i wanna know if not taxing the rich creates jobs, but we have lost over 600,000, where are the new jobs?

Is it me, or did McLame and Sarah Semen plant those black protesters at Obama's speech today? Being black myself, let's face it: every race has some group that will do anything for the right price. Do you think John McLiar put those people up to that with a payout, since VP Spermbank had her rally protested yesterday?

The debates will have a major impact on the polls, and I personally cna't wait. I got my tally sheet ready to track how many times McCain says "POW", "Hanoi Hilton", or "Tortured" when he is asked about the economy, parallels in his policies and Bush's, or Palin's lack of qualifications or ability to pick up the mantle if he croaks. This is going to be big fun.

WHAT REPUBLICANS PARTY USED TO STAND FORE

HAS GONE THE WAY OF THE DINOSAURS. THESE

OLD GREEDY BOYS ARE PREDATORS THAT ARE BENT ON

DESTROYING THIS GREAT NATION IN EVERY WAY THEY CAN.

I don't think I could take four years of listening to Sarah Palin. She is a shiny object with a shrill voice. Willing to screech out whatever she thinks people will buy at the moment. A lot like McCain, but a few octaves higher.

Here we go again....Eight years ago we said don't vote for Bush…the writing is on the wall and they did. So whoever the president may be, i want everyone who voted for bush to LOSE their savings, retirement, pension, homes, and jobs if need be. No Government bail out with my tax dollars for banks.NO NO NO, these people need to vote issues in the elections or they can go down like everybody else. No to the 1 trillion for saving banks. NO NO NO.

Remember in the last election, John Kerry was ahead of Bush and just before the elections Bush went ahead in the polls. The same thing is going to happen again this year and I suppose we will have alot of Obama supporters starting to take anti-depressants on November 5. Maybe Obama and Michelle will also be so traumatized that we won't see them for a few months. Maybe in January we will see them appear again out of hibernation.

When you don't do things in a fair manner they always come back to haunt you and I can Obama and the DNC will be taught a lesson when McCain and Palin are elected in November as president and VP. Cheating may work for some time but it always catches up with you.

Obama up by 5 % in gallup poll, cnn you need to stay up to date, arent you suppose to be number 1 in news ?

It's funny how John McCain and the GOP spin everything to there advantage. Now Obama is the reason the economy is in termoil. Each week John McCain and the GOP change their toon. One week they harp on experiance, the next week they say change and try to take Obama"s slogan for the change by picking and unknown figure to run as VP with John McCain. Come on now, that nothing but the Repulican Okeedok. Gov. Sarah Palin for one is not in the same legue as Obama for one thing. Since the GOP wants to compair the two, let indulge them. Sara Palin got her BA from an institution of higher learning only after failing out of four different schools and taking seven years in the process. Obama is a Harvard graduate. The first goround and recieved his degree. Never mind that Obama is running for president not vice president . So there you are.

It seems clear to me that the choice this election is for a Republican who is proactive on war and reactive on the economy versus a Democrat who is reactive on war and proactive on the economy.

McCAIN is standing next to a LANDSLIDE.looking for Palin she has fal-in.

Yes its close in a number of midwestern states. John McCain says help the auto industry (and presumably other manufacturing industries) with tax breaks and such. But workers throughout the midwest have already seen 3 decades of job loss, wage and benefit cuts and tax subsidies to those industries that invested in Mexico and the third world while letting US factories rot. What makes anyone think that McCains tax cuts to auto will be used to invest in job creating investments on US soil?

No, Frank, its NOBAMA in trouble in Ohio and Indiana. All the democRATS that write in these blogs have such negativity down to their bones that keeps them from realizing if wishes were horses, then beggars would ride!

I don't believe any of the polls out here, they poll 2000 or 3000 people and put some numbers on Tv, PLEASE, no one ever ask me who i'm voting for nor as anyone ever ask my friends and family members, so please with the media BS polls, They'll put anything on the media to get ratings.

Its funny how CNN announces that wall street skewered McCain. I read the article and it is true, indeed it did and possibly rightly so for what he said. I missed the tv broadcast. But what I noticed that was not mentioned by CNN for their own reasons be it they are busy or whatnot I am not pointing blame, was that the Wall Street Studies have shown that Obama's campaign has become more negative than the McCain campaign. Protesters getting violent and the suspicious hacking of palins email. Anyone think I am lying? Go read it for yourself.

You are going to reinforce Republicans for this lousy economy with their lack of regulation and now corporate welfare by giving them 4 more years to completely destroy us? Do you know someone who has lost his or her job? Do you know someone who has lost his or her home? Do you enjoy paying a fortune for gas and food? Then vote for McCain/Palin for more of the same.

For real change vote Obama/Biden 08

Surprised its not near 90% Obama. There must be a lot of billionaires in Indiana and Ohio.

Notice something....

McCain spent his day placing blame and attacking his opponent, but offered no resolutions to the problems.

Obama came out after sitting down with his team of Economists and proposed four things we must do to turn this country around and had a news conference. Something John McCain has refused to do for 46 days running.

In my mind there is no other choice, but Obama/Biden to provide real Leadership and Accountability in this country.

The Dems have picked up states since 04 and are making a few more competitive. Obama can win this many different ways now and he only needs one. McCain is a lot more limited in what he can do.

Of course there will be GOP supporters who will post some unrelated attack or McCain will win stupidness just to convince themselves. Let them let it all out.

One third of a Billion dollars sure doesn't buy what it used to.

Does it Barry?

HA HA HA. PUMA!!!

This election will be decided by the older white folks: so called conservatives who always faithfully vote republican irrespective of their positions. Looking at the 2 candidates: on issues after issues it appears that the election is Obama's to win. No doubt Palin has rallied the same republican base to vote for Mccain. The big question is WHY? Obama's Race? Clinton factor?
I have talked to some of this diehard republican supporters, they have no good reason to support Obama except that he chose Palin to 'Shake up washington'.

Arkansas undertaker – t ypical hillbilly – didn't you read that Illinois has NOT voted for a Democrat president in 30 years? Smart people!! Go back in your cave.

*McCain/Palin* – THE REAL CHANGE WE NEED.

People in these states should really wake up. Can't they see that McCain doesn't even know what the word "original" means. He will do the same thing that this current administration is doing because that's all he knows. He is only speaking about change, regulation, and the economy because this is what Obama is speaking about. We don't need him or want him. This scenario is very scary.....McCain is elected President of our country. He doesn't wake up one morning from his sleep....Oops! Sarah Palin is the President!!!! This is a total nightmare!

McCain doesn't know the economy
He only knows those that like to lobby
Fire SEC chair McCain say
Unpresidential comments per WSJ
Seeking the presidency has become McCain's hobby

PICK IT !!!!

EITHER VOTE FOR OBAMA OR VOTE FOR POVERTY

FOR OUR WORKING FOLKS FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.

WE HAVE FALLEN BACK IN EVERY IMPORTANT CATEGORY

FROM ECONOMICS TO TECHNOLOGY FOR THE PAST 20

YEARS CONSISTENTLY. INVEST IN YOURSELVES, NOT

IN ANOTHER HOUSE FOR THE GREEDY VILE SCUM BAG.

I have a feeling that the states will be left for Obama. If he wins those two sates and pennsylvanis he has won the election. He needs to do a lot of work campaigning there. McCain may get there due to the blue coller base.

18 Million voted for Obama to lead this country based on his VISION not his experience.

Can any body tell me why McCain is so close still? What has transpired this week alone with his answers on the economy should be enough to put the final nails in the coffin!!! Oh yeah...Most polls are not conducted via cell-phone so most 18-35 year old who are keeping an ear and eye on this years election haven't been polled. Just wait until November 4th when the only poll that matters will happen!

Barack the vote young people!!!

if I had to vote today McCain & Palin! Who cares about the pools.

Field dressing a moose doesn't qualify one to be VP...just as being a war veteran doesn't qualify one to be POTUS.....McCain and Palen have had their 15 minutes of fame...now let's get serious and get Obama and Biden into the Whire House and everyone will be able to breathe easier !!!!

I guess they are Millionares in Ohio or either they are just plain stupid.

Add the Cell Phone users ..... "GOOD NIGHT, JOHN BOY"

Im from Indiana and my whole family is voting for Obama. Both of my sons registered for the first time !!! Go Obama !!! This hoosier family is backing you all the way.

Yes! I believe the polls show a tight race to attract viewers. I believe were gonna see a huge wave of voters and first time voters voting for obama!

One thing i say for the Obama campaign, they don't pay attention to these polls either. On November 4th, I and all of his other supporters will show the world and America that we need and want Obama/Biden. Our country is too bad of shape to have an worse Bush/Cheney administration.

If Obama can get enough young first time voters to the polls he'll win. If not, better luck next time.

Is anyone else getting sick of Obama oportunistic posing...It's Monday Morning Quarterbacking at it's best!

These "press conferences", where he comes out wearing a dark suit, surrounded by his "advisers", and then promptly tries to take credit for everything that happened a few minutes ago (in the REAL world). He says that he's been working on his financial plan for "several year"...Really? Then let's see it!!!

THIS GUY IS A FRESHMAN SENATOR!!! No one that has real authority is listening to what he has to say. He looks like a kid trying to look older than he is...

Obama rebounded McCain's "bounce." Obama and Biden are driving the lane on a fast break now.

Just in time for Christmas!

The "Lying G.I. Johnny" and the new "Whining Barbie".

Wow, losing Indiana would be bad news for McCain. Hell, it's bad news for him that's it's even close there.

McSame is in big trouble if he looses Indiana
Obama already brought all Clinton economic team to start reviving this economy... No doubt he will be the next president

Obama/ Biden 08
Obama/ Hillary 12
Hillary/ VA gov 2016 and 2020

As an independent voting in Indiana I will be pushing for Obama – and working for him. Lets make history.

Cmon Indiana turn BLUE this year! I'm rooting for you and the COLTS TOO!!!

Just like late-deciders went for Hillary Clinton during the primary, the late-deciders will go for John McCain. No matter what the media tries to show, in these midwestern blue collar states, they will not give Obama the win. He is too high and mighty. He called them 'bitter' and Rev. Wright has not been forgotten.

The media calls this racism, I call it not trusting Obama because he had never worked with his 'hands' and he does not have experience.

Although the economy is going to hell in a hand basket and the federal government is bailing out wall street, it is still a crisis and we do not know enough about Obama and his ability to handle a crisis. He votes 'present' or he takes a ' I need to know more' before he takes a position on anything. Other than that, all he has done is go negative; and this from the man who is all about hope. Please!

He is not right for America, things are too serious to give the reins of the country over to a novice.

Go Indiana!!!! I've spent enough time there to know that you are hurting and need change. You will look lovely in blue:)

Cnn would you please just stop with this bias reporting! You cannot simply select your favorite three polls that show your desired results and call it a "poll of polls". You must use all the polls from the same dates! Please go to real clear politics for accurate information, not this propoganda.

Don't forget about the MILLIONS of cell phone users that aren't being polled; the millions of young people supporting Barack Obama that don't have landlines. This race is not as close as the polls show.

EVERYBODY KNOWS THESE POLLS ARE TIED. IT`S THE MEDIA WHO FAILED TO REPORT THE REAL FIGURES.

OBAMA`S FURTHER AHEAD THAN IMAGINED.

OBAMA/BIDEN `08
ALL THE WAY

This is not good news for McCain. Actually its terrible news. All he had going for him was the Palin Bounce, and without that he's done. He can't win the election without Indiana or Ohio. He has to have both just to have a chance to win.

If I were Obama, I would campaign heavily in those two or three swings states and let McCain play defense. That would force McCain out of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Hell, McCain seems to have a fight on his hands in Florida, as well.

These results show, with a lights out debate, that we have all the makings for a late and significant break towards Obama

Obama will win both of the states! I can feel the curtain closing for the marketing strategy of the GOP (Palin)

OBAMA 08

Make Indiana and Ohio blue and its all over

Ohio was expected to be close - as it was in 2004. But Indiana was considered strongly Republican. If Obama has a chance to carry it, it is a great sign of his prospects nationwide.

Obama is amazing!! He wants to help Main Street. With whose money???

Oh thats right lets tax people that make over 250k. Let's punish them because they are succesful people who have vision and have achieved.

Let's punish these people so all the people who have there hand out waitong for help from the government can continue to hang out instead of educating themselves or doing something different with there lives and changing themselves.

The Democrats will save you!!!! Just the way the democratic Congress of the last 8 years has.

Houston, we have a problem....

actually, it's Mccain who has the problem. Keep it up OB!

After McCain's Spain insult and confusion wait till the debates

FROM INDIANA: Obama is VERY charismatic, a lot like the Rev. Jim Jones

HE PREACHES
A BETTER WORLD
HE JUST WANTS TO BE YOUR LEADER AND NEEDS YOUR MONEY

AND THE PEOPLE DO FOLLOW-PEOPLE LIKE YOU

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU'RE WISHING FOR,YOU MAY GET IT !!

I look forward to the DEBATES!!!!!!
Polls will change!! MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008-2012

Market Snapshot: U.S. stock market welcomes bailout plan; indexes off early highs

Taxpayers money going to speculators again !! Government will bailout so they can take risks..

Don't show me the poll results .. we need analysis of what candidates gonna d oabout this.. Bail out or no bailout

Once again we are diverted by polls

mc cains choice of the gov shows how poor his way of thinking is.
palin is a bald face liar. i doubt she could be trusted to take out the garbage with out lying /
as for her staff not talking i c why they are afraid when she comes back thing will get wrose with her.
i just spoke with a few people up in her state they hate her say she is a bi-

McCain's econimic advisor = Phil Gramm

Man whose policies caused this crisis = Phil Gramm

You do the math.

Those polls are non-sense, Obama will win this election hands down.
Who in their right mind would pick lying creeps like McCain/Palin! Bad...bad for this Country!

Ohio Democrats and new voter's it is up to you!

I'm on the mailing list for both McCain and Obama. Obama is much more serious about my vote based on the amount of email I get from the two candidates.

The lead is probably much larger due to the polling methods. Obama will win it with a larger margin.

hmmm, 80% of the world would vote for Obama/Biden ticket. I mean there is no comparison here on which ticket has more substance and better qualifications to lead the USA back from 8 years of misery. On the world stage the U.S. reputation has fallen so drastically, to me it just very sad.

It makes me especially in Ohio who in the world would vote Republican. There is only one answer to your solution – Vote Obama

DO YOURSELF AND THE REST OF AMERICA A FAVOUR AND VOTE WITH YOUR HEADS NOT YOUR LOYALITY

Hmmm...this is going to be one interesting election!

Both of these states will vote for Obama....another landside to keep an Arizona Senator out of the White House!!!

COME ON INDIANA LET'S TURN THIS STATE BLUE WE WOULD ALL BE MUCH BETTER OFF.................AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT GET RID OF MITCH DANIELS TOO...............

OBAMA 08
JILL LONG THOMPSON 08

Put obama in the white house and we'll all be speaking Russian before he gets out of office.
If you put obama in office it will be the beginning of the end for this country. Never has there been such a liar and cheat as bad as obama.
HE WAS NOT A PROFESSOR.........................HE WAS A LECTURER.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Beyond the dark blue states, Obama will take Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia, South Carolina, Pen, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Minasota, New Hamshire and Indiana. A landslide victory come November. God save America from McPalin, the republican policies have ruined the American economy. No way, no how, no McSame and no Palin.

I will get Obama Indiana. I promise that.

Did you hear, in a poll, parents preferred Obama to teach their kids over McCain.

Just goes to prove the old addage: Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

just cant close the deal obama, LANDSLIDE VICTORY ! LANDSLIDE VICTORY ! ISN'T THAT WHAT THE DEMS WERE SAYING.

Ohio Is Going To Turn Blue This Year! Thank You Ohio Voters!

These polls mean nothing.
Kerry, Carter all were leading in polls, and what happened?

McCain/Palin

The youth of Indiana will help put OBAMA over the top!!

We will go blue!!!

On Nov 4 – we will see the real numbers!

So I read the great "Messiah" wants to tax the heck out of people making over 250K to help give my money away to the UN to fight global poverty. The "Messiah" proclaims by the year 2015 we should donate $50 billion to the world.

My question is by 2015 in america we will have no more homeless to help out. Listen Robin Hood, if you get in (God I hope not) and you raise my taxes which is a given at least spend the money at home you fool

After McCain's "performances" lately–how can anyone trust this senile underachiever to lead us out of the mess he created. His DEregulation caused this mess–How in the world can the polls be close?

McCain = no solution for the broken economy and broken spirits of this country

There's still a long way to go..... it's going to go back and forth till election time.

Louisiana and Arkansas, nobody is talking about these two states. Arkansas is Clinton/democrat territory and Louisiana got hit hard by two or three hurricanes that the GOP did little about. I think those two are going to be Democrat blue this year.

And both states are on the election commission's list of states who haven't resolved their voting error potential from the LAST election... which means they're wide open to manipulation by those who are the masters of manipulation.
God forbid this election is tainted like the last TWO presidential elections.
Never thought I'd be saying this, as I was such a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, but PLEASE, people get out & vote for Obama/Biden if you care a whit about this country, our economy, and our personal well-being.

I just hope that everyone who intends to vote for McCain and Palin will watch the movie MATILDA first and then reconsider.

im going to help get him more than a one point lead!!!!

Big states. Swing states. Key states. Does that cover all the states or are there more to come?

What was that Dixie Chicks song????

OHHH YEAH.... L A N D S L I D E

VOTE
Obama/ Biden '08

YOU PEOPLE IN OHIO NEED TO GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND UP THERE IS CONSIDERING THIS FOOL MCSAME FOR PRESIDENT?

WHAT KIND OF BACKWARDS FOLKS YOU GOT UP THERE??

I MEAN CUMMON'

KNOCK ON DOORS, TALK TO PEOPLE, WHATEVER IT TAKES.

WE ARE WORKING HARD DOWN HERE IN FLORIDA WHICH HAS SCREWED US TWICE IN A ROW.

THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR THE NORTH!!

I believe this is the trend–all of those former read states are moving into Obama's column and this will continue into a landslide for Obama on November 4, 2008!

I can't help but wonder, how is it that some people, myself included, see the choice as being obvious. Obama is far and above a better choice than Mccain. IT's so clear, that it's like those who don't see it aren't looking at the same thing.

They have to be ignoring some facts or just listening to Rush Limbaugh and his ilk.

I'm sure they say the same though...just wondering..

The longer this campaign remains about the economy and not "bright shiny objects", the more the Republican party is going to wake up November 5 and find themselves in charge of what is technically known as squat.

Obama '08

barack and Biden are the best choice for leaders that will work with both sides to fix what the GOP has messed up in the last 8 years, I don't think we have ever faced a president coming in having to fix so much but Obama and Biden are the only ones who are up to the task. McCain and Palin can't even get things right now, we can afford having them be in office, it would take a century to recover from four more years of republican policies. Obama,Biden to great men with a plan to fix the problems we now face. Thanks Dubya for messing up our country so badly. I can truely say no one could ever match you in doing the worst job imagineable.

McDud

"The economy is sound

Enough said

Tough sledding for McCain. Does he have the money and energy to fight in 10 battlegrounds? Obama is wearing his resources thin.

Notice that ALL of the close states that are "up for grabs" are states that voted for Bush...
The states that voted for Kerry seem much more comfortable holds for Obama.

The only "Kerry" states that are even arguably "up for grabs" are Minnesota and Wisconsin.... I imagine that new polls, after this last week of focus on issues over MILFs should help those two states come home.

McCain is playing pure defense. Obama is CERTAIN to take Iowa and New Mexico... So one single other of the 8 close states loses the election for McCain.

Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Missouri, Colorado, Nevada, Indiana, and North Carolina...

Any of these states will win the election for Obama... McCain has to win ALL of them to hold, and his constant flubbing and flip-flopping on every economic speech and question cannot help his chances.

Indiana is in play? Indiana is reliably republican, at least until now, and Obama has a lead in Ohio. No republican has ever won the White House without Ohio. Mccain can't win without Ohio, Indiana and Florida. If any of those states go into the blue column it is over for Senator McCain. Obama can possibly win without any of those three. McCain does have something else to worry about though. I have been listening to Governor Palin refer to the ticket as the "Palin and McCain" ticket and has been referring to McCain as "my running mate". She starting to read the press and believe that she is more popular than the man who is actually the presidential nominee. Watch your back John, Sarah has plans and you aren't in them.

Once the debates are held, I expect the support to shift heavily for Obama in some traditionally Red states, i.e. Virginia, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Colorado...just to name a few....

Obama 08!

The media is trying to down play the importance of the youth in this election in US history. The media is doing every in order to dicourage them from voting , this poll of polls stuff everynow and then. It will be fair for the media to let the general public to know the poll of polls doesn't take the youth voting block into account, since pollesters are using landlines phones to conduct the sampling.

McLoser you offer nothing but lies and stolen lines.

Shame on you

Somewhere as we speak, Keith DNC Forever Olbermann can't get in synch with Dan Patrick to do Sunday night Football highlights b/c of the stress of all this.

Why don't they ever detail the demographics of these polls, who did them and their past polls vs results etc. So there could be some confidence in them. It just seems only things we see are those that make media. Can't even watch CNN anymore it is so pro McCain.

Todd Palin refuses to comply with the investigation... is this the transparency McCain is talking about? is this the shaking up McCain is talking about? it sounds more like the same Bush/Rove moves to me...i guess i will have to watch the Ladies of the View to get the real story since MSM again fail to do their jobs....this means you CNN!!!

more cover up corruption from the repubLIEcans

Hopefully ALL voters are paying attention to who is behaving in a way befitting a president. Tell me about yourself – DON'T just sling mud and lies. So far, I think Obama has given me more specifics about what he would do, and I like what I hear from him. McCain is too busy trying to dance around the issues. I'd really like to know why Gov Palin and co feel they are above the law. I thought she wanted to be held accountable. Seems to me, where there is smoke there is fire...

I always gave Ohioans mor credit, but I can see that was a mistake.

Add them to the list of the most f'd up states in America, along with Florida and Texas!

Please join me in protesting the refusal of Todd Palin and Palin cronies to respect their subpoena to testify.

The average citizen would be subjected to the threat of a finding of contempt and a possible jail sentence if they disobeyed a subpoena. Why do these individuals believe they are "above the law", and/or subjected to a different set of laws than the rest of us.

Isn't it time we reinstated an equal application of the law to all US citizens. Isn't it time that we sent a message that disobeyed the law does in fact result in consequences.

McCain has become the greatest liar of modern day election campaigns. A sad day for Republicans who seem to ride on gods teaching but far from following the bible!

its on.. told you people are waking up.

country first or Obama first.
I pick country

CNN:

You use the most antiquated polls I ever heard of Maris poll??? What about Zogby, gallup, Rasmuesan (spelling), etc. that is why I go to Real Clear Politics. It gives all the polls not just a select few.

Obama is not going to carry OHIO and maybe will not hang on in PA.

Why is Ohio this close? The Republican candidate is "an unapologetic supporter of NAFTA" (his words) with little to no experience in economic matters. He also supports outsourcing.

Come on blue collar workers in Ohio and Indiana, WAKE UP!!!!!!
The past 8 years have not been good to your States....Why would you even consider voting for McCain and Palin
McEvil and Scary Palin are not for the working man.........McEvil is only in this to add President to his resume ......

McCain was a child of priveledge and then he married MONEY, he never had to worry about the small stuff ...... He's so out of touch with the real working citizen

We need a change not more of the same!!!!!
Obama/Biden 2008

its funny how they say obama holds a slim lead in ohio, yet last week he was down about 5 points in the polls in ohio.....

They are stating that Obama has over 500,000 new voters in Indana. I'm sorry but I can see alot of red states turning blue due to the large volume of new registered voters throught out this country.

The key for Indiana is if the Region (Northwest), Indianapolis, and South Bend votes will offset the small town (i.e. conservative,redneck) votes, which I think can happened but I'm not holding my breath.

Ahh yes, the POLL OF POLLS! What news from the North doth thy bring OH POLL OF POLLS. We come before thee POLL OF POLLS to find which way our politcal winds push and pull.OH POLL OF POLLS give us the answer that we jestly seek. Oh oracle of office, OH PROPHET OF POLITICS, tell us our future OH POLL OF POLLS

(in order to get the full effect of this comment, one must read it out loud in a Britsh accent reminisent of Sean Connery and everytime you read POLL OF POLLS you must raise the volume of your voice)

The simple fact that McCain is within 20 points of Obama just goes to prove that 99.9% of Americans are ignorant, apathetic, unaware and irresponsible.

America is quickly becoming just another third-world country. Women whine and moan about being taken seriously, yet time and time again, they prove most shouldn't be.

Most women, especially white women who vote republican, are ONE ISSUE VOTERS, completely oblivious to the real issues, etc.

No wonder it is a man's world, for all the whining women do, they are constantly taking giant leaps backward.

GOP is finish....Palin sucks.....Mccain did tha biggest mistake by picking her as the running mate. Democrats gonna win big in november.

McCain could win both and he'll stiull lose the election. All Obama has to do is win colorado, nevada, penn, michigan and games over. other states arent going to tip one way or the other

KEEP FIGHTING OBAMA JUST KEEP GOING. AND PEOPLE TELL OTHERS TO MAKE SURE TO VOTE. IF YOUR 17 AND WILL BE 18 ON OR BEFORE NOV. 4 YOU NEED TO REGISTER TO VOTE. COME ON THIS IS TO IMPORTANT VOTE VOTE VOTE OBAMA

I'm voting Democrat because English has no place being the official language in America.
I'm voting Democrat because I'd rather pay $4 for a gallon of gas than allow drilling for oil off the coasts of America.
I'm voting Democrat because I think the government will do a better job of spending my money than I could.
I'm voting Democrat because when we pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq, I know the Islamic terrorists will stop trying to kill us because they'll think we're a good and decent country.

Every day the lying, contradicting, McCain double-talk express says something completely wrong or out of touch and there are still 50% of certain states that are saying they will vote for him????????

IT is mind blowing. I can't even believe it's true that there are that many oblivious people.

Rural Republicans are beginning to realize the Republicans have sold them a bunch of malarkey. Their "do-nothing" approach to government is what drove this country into the Great Depression, and it's what's driving us back there right now.

The worm is starting to turn. Seems that Obama was behind or further behind in these states last week. Now he is ahead in one and closer in the other. I think this mirrors, to a degree, what is happening on the larger scale. The Palin flash in the pan is fading and the stars are realigning back to what they were and frankly for me, where they should be. I expect Obama to be even further ahead after the debates.

With the polls this close, the Obama/Biden ticket are going to win. People are thinking and thinking hard. That is tremendous.

NOBAMA, NOBAMA,

nobama is a self-serving megalomaniac who has done nothing to help this country. we need to elect McCain/Palin who both have a proven track record of getting things done versus just talking the talk.

McCain/Palin '08

I'm from Canada and I'm shocked it's even this close...the McPalin ticket is clearly out of touch with the average american...flip flopping on many issues (economic crisis, change movement, experience), lying (Troopergate, Bridge to nowhere), and denying to uphold the legal system (Palin refusing to participate in the Troopergate investigation)....it's very, very sad...and as your neighbour to your North, I'm very, very scared.....please don't vote based on party, sex or race...remember, your countries future is dependent on this very important decision....

On an Obama bio it was stated that in Illinois, a "present" vote actually means "nay,w/reservations(or similar). Why do the Dems allow the GOP to keep saying otherwise.

With the Obama team adding hundreds of thousands of new voters, it is possible that the polls do not take this into consideration. If most of the new voters vote we will have president Obama.

I think I have it figured out CNN. You have a Syndicate going. You made a large bet, onBarack Obama winn this Election. Now your trying to saw it to your Advantage! That's what all Opinion Polls About.
It won't work, you've lost your Shirt! Sorry!!!!

I've done an Electoral Map with Obama winning 275-263.
McCain gets: OH, FL, VA, IN,
Obama gets CO, WI, PA, MI, MN, NM

McCain has consistently been against farmers. The midwest is waking up and with the ECONOMY BEING STUPID, nobody is going to support a third Bush term. We are not whinning, but feeling the pain eveyday. It is time for the republican to own thier failure. There is no make up term for the republicans: you rip what you sow. After McCain has claim being a deregulator at birth, he is blaming Obma for the financial crisis: AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT STUPID and we will make sure not to reward his failure by granting him the White House. When you fail economically, you pay for the consequences. We have to change Washington and McCain is Washington itself.

Look, we need to stop feeding the elephants peanuts and kick them out of the White House and put them to work.

It's time to bring in the donkeys to kick our economy into high gears. No more pyramid scheme economy!

Time for carrots!!

Those are supposed RED states.lol...cant wait till the debates...lol

That is not Lady De Rothschild redneck country is it? Elitist huh!? Pot this is kettle with a wake up call. COME ON PEOPLE DO THE RIGHT THING. Vote for the smart young man who is actually putting country first by choosing a VP that could also lead in time of trouble. Forethought. His eye is not simply on the big prize but long down the road. What will happen if the old POW misses a heartbeat will his VP be able to run the country or look out her window to watch the neighboring country. Just tell her "thanks (pause fore effect) but no thanks" Don't forget to add the down home charm. Lay it on thick, because there is a lot to cover up.

What – EXACTLY – is your plan to save us obama – All talk – NO action as usual. Guess you will have to wait till your campaign provides you the "politically correct" answer.

It will get farther apart after more of Obama's indecisions become apparent, as do his lies. He just sends Biden out to discuss AIG and look like a fool, since he is afraid to say anything.

Again DO NOT and I repeat DONT believe CNN polls,
here in MN they have us as toss up state, and this is totally

Obama Land..................

no matter how the repubushes and cnn spin it.. all it takes is ask around...

MN for Obama

If Obama takes Ohio game over...however, it will be a tough one...Ohio is really Northern Kentucky and the necks are rather red

mccain calls his running mate his soul mate, what does that make his wife, and by the way where is his first wife????

Americans are smart. They realize what is at stake: The economy people's livelihoods, and dignity.... So, as the "lipstick" hot air and lies fade away, real issues become more eminent.

The big "race" elephant still hangs around some areas, but voting on racial basis will not put food on american tables. Neither will it restore the value of our retirement funds. If we stick with the issues, the results of this election will be a victory for all americans.

Obama-Biden '08

I bet McCain loses by at least 8-10 points nationally ...

Any takers?

I think that once we all wake up and put our Race issues aside senator Obama will be far ahead in the polls. I do not think that the polls are fair anyways i think they try to keep them closer so that people will watch the news.

Polls are back at pre-convention levels......and will likely see a continued slide by McSame, and his trusty sidekick, P-itbull-alin.

Figures. They're running one of the sorriest presidential campaigns ever!

The evasiveness,
the lack of vision,
the excuses,
the flip-flops,
the general lack of understanding of the issues,
and the continual lies even after the truth is exposed.

Simply Stunning!!!!!!

We need change and with McCain adm. we ain't gettin it.

VOTE OBAMA.

I don't think the polls will change much until after the debates.

I will say it again. He should have picked Hillary.

The more Palin talks the less appeal there is. I think over the next couple weeks the shine will be off and these polls will open up some more.

Factcheck.org, know it, love it, USE it!

Misleading polls, Obama is leading in Ohio by 3 points. I am tired of this polls manipulation.
Bush=McCain=Cheney=Palin=failure.

mcbush lies so much that the americans will finally get it.
they will tell him to take his barbie and go build a bridge to nowhere.

obama 08

These results are terrible for McCain, indicating serious erosion in his must-win states. And it will only get worse for the GOP ticket: since these polls are all from several days ago, they do not fully weigh the impact of the Wall Street meltdown, which has really hurt McCain's standing.

Despite all of the favorable media bias and unjust accolades, Boy Wonder has a real fight ahead....he's probably shocked.

Wow So what they're saying is that Obama is accomplishing the unaccomplishable!!!

The newcomer is changing history in more than one way!!

Way to go Obama!

McCain better get his doctors by his side on November 4th because I doubt his heart will handle the shock of what Obama will to do him when McCain sees the result.

So help me if Ohio is the deciding state for another Republican candidate being elected president, they should be removed from the union!

what happened to mccain's first wife, why is she not being interviewed, something does not feel right.

Obama seems to have a better idea of how to correct the mess created by Wallstreet than McCain does. I hope his edge widens. We need change not more of the same. From what we have heard and seen that's all that McCain offers.

yes we can,,,,, people in those states need to know that mccain ,, even tho he talks big,, is only out for himself,, hes copied many of obama's comments,, otherwise he wouldnt have anything to go on,, hes a loser,, yes we can and we will, obama/biden.08 and beyond,,,,, ( vote for mccain and have 4 more years of the same,,)

The polls will be different next week

CNN trying to run headlines to keeps it's ratings up.

Too bad we the people are jerked around so much.

Hummm.....I wonder why? In a time when everything seems to be going wrong in this country, oh I know. Because Obama is all talk! He has no substance behind his rehtoric. Obama is nothing but a liar, hypocrite and egomaniac. He loves to dish it out but he can't handle the fire. Everyone is wrong except him. He's done so much for this and that, but the problem is he's lying. The best one is that he sat in church for 20yrs and did not know that his pastor (mentor-uncle) was a racist! Give me a break. McCain/Palin 08'

I am a die hard hoosier, red neck, yes.... .live in Martinsville Indiana ... yes and we are all voting change. All my friends, including most of my relatives except my parents ... of course, will be voting for change! We can't wait for November 4th to remove the lying republicans from power.

McCain needs both.

Looks like 4 years of Democratic Rule!

Obama/Biden 2008 2012 Hillary 2016!

The "poll of polls" has NO sampling error?
Impossible if the underlying polls on which it's based contain possible sampling errors.

Be truthful about SOMETHING, CNN.....ANYTHING.

Your comment is awaiting moderation:

CNN-speak for your comment doesn't worship Obama enough.
RIP journalist integrity.

Todd Palin won't comply with his subpeona
Arrest all the repubs that aren/t complying with subpeonas!!!!!!!!!!!

SO did everyone catch the Hannity interview with Sarah Palin? Did she honestly say it was unfair for Obama to go after McCain's comments about economy fundamentals being strong because how he said it wasnt how he meant it after he said it?

She is covering up not knowing anything with bad explanations to really easy questions.

Just like with Obama, she is evening out now that the media honeymoon is over and she actually has to talk about issues.

Have been waiting for brilliant man to capture the presidency in our United States. This new face of hope and equality makes me be proud to be American. I know, we the people know the lies the Republicans have been capable to deliver against good candidates with character and honesty in their souls. If the Republicans are so great, why did our wonderful country under their leadership for 8 years has not delivered the promises made then. How can we trust in them now. Keep the
religeous rights out of this election. They have done enough to have it their way with Bush. Ruined the whole worlds economy. Millions dead, because of them. DEMOCRATS JOIN NOW TO OUST THE SCUM FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

CNN (and it's so-called polls) reports what they want you to think. At this point, CNN should just post a big banner behind the news anchor that says "Vote for Obama". They are about that subtle. Whatever happened to objectivity?

Meanwhile, Obama continues to pull ahead of McCain in a national trend

Obama Ahead by 1 Tuesday
Ahead by 2 on Wednesday
Ahead by 4 on Thursday
Now ahead by 5 today and pushing 50% (a magic number for Obama)

The tide has turned. If he is at 50% or above on Monday, its all but over for Mr MaGoo and the drama queen.

Obama/Biden 08'

Why isn't CNN reporting that McCain and Obama are being put illegally on the TX ballot by the TX Sec'y of State?

They both missed the legal deadline to be put on the ballots, but are being included.

When third party candidates miss a deadline, there is no way they'll get on a ballot.

Heck, its hard enough to get on the ballot with tens of thousands of signatures, meeting the deadline and dotting the i's and crossing the t's for third parties.

they both turnin blue.
YES WE CAN , YES WE WILL

The only job Sarah Palin is qualified for is scraping the YELLOW grit off of John McCain's teeth.

The only poll that matters is the one on 11/4....the rest of these are just window dressing for whatever or whomever is the flavor of the month, week, day, hour minute...

i think the title should be all red turning blue ...obama team lost one democrat( ex clinton fundraiser) and gained one state, now who s the gainer

palin domination was fake

Food for thought:
Obama is a lawyer. Most of his friends and his wife are lawyers. How many lawyers do you know that are honest?

Obama says he will raise taxes only on the rich? As a lawyer, he knows that most rich people have lots of lawyers working for them. Lawyers know how to find and use those magical little loopholes out their to get around paying taxes!

Don't trust Lawyers!!!!!!

Now I fell the heat of the democratic party!!

Two names Barack Obama does not want to hear...

Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac

Wait til the market rebounds and the public learns the truth by the time the first Presidential Debate goes down.

And the 'Children of the Corn' have the nerve to call John McCain dishonorable.

The American People do not like being betrayed.

Bye-Bye Obama.

BO needs this to be around 48 percent to have a chance of winning either state....The reason is the "race" factor. We know that America despites its forth coming towards racial equality, there are still 20-30% of those who will vote against BO because of his skin color. So we need to get this up to at least 48%. The only other option is to get many new young voters since these people are not part of the survey. If we can get 5% of new young voters....its over. If we get 2% then its a real tight race. Either way...lots of more work needs to be done.

Indiana is that close? Oh the McCain camp really should be worried!
That place has been GOP for so long I doubt you can buy a can of blue paint at the hardware store! If Indiana goes blue this thing is OVER!

It's not even close to close.

Look up the Bradley Effect or the Wilder Effect. McCain is going to win in a landslide. People lie to pollsters when the candidate is African American.

And yes, Obamatons, they DO poll cell phones. You should let go of that little security blanket.

How is it that Fox news is able to report that McCain leading Obama by 14 on the electoral map? Why is no one challenging them on this? Or at least reveal how their numbers are not creditable.

If Mccain looses Ohio before Nov. 4. This race is over. As our leader said "On November 4th. ON NOV. 4 We must stand up together and say eight years is enough!!!"-Barack Obama.

So close and yet so far. LOL I think the debates will tell us who our next Pres. will be.

I don't trust polls but if the Repubs usually have Ohio in their back pocket and at this time there is a slim lead by Obama, McCain's in trouble.

Come on Obama lets get these two thugs, we dont need people like them in the white house. I just hope the american people wake up in time. They are so all fired up about Sarah, hoping John kicks the bucket so she can get in there. Lets not forget Johns mother is 96, so John could be around for a spell yet and then what are you Sarah lovers going to do when you got us four more years of Bush.

Poll shows that there are plenty of idiots out there. Someone who has been in the Senate for more than 20 years running under the platform of change? We had the crisis int he 70's. Why has nothing been done?

IDIOTS!!!

I find it uncomprehensible and borderline dangerous that Obama and the DNC are politicizing this financial crisis to point fingers and play the blame game to boost their interest in the election. How about putting country first and the people first for once in a crisis of this magnitude. This is the very reason why I'm supporting Mccain. Partisanship is at the very core of this non-productive and non-moving government we have today.

CHECK OUT OF THE TICKLER WITH 'ENERGY' IN THE TITLE AND THE PICTURE OF THOSE TWO. IS IT ME, OR IS OL' DUDE LOOKIN' AT SARAH'S...

WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME...SLEAZE FACTORY AT EVERY LEVEL...

I think the polls will be very inaccurate in this election.
Most of Obama's largest support group does not use or own land line based telephones and do not appear on registration data at all in most cases (other than new voter registration).
In most states Obama is probably carrying 5 to 10 percentage points higher than the polls show.

Aug

I just heard Biden speak in VA. His message was powerful. He just ripped the socks off John McCain. He said some things to women that I have not even heard spoken by Hillary Clinton. Obama is always presidential in his speeches, but women need to hear Biden. He just went hard on McCain and Palin.
McCain claims he would fire Christopher Cox, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Committee. Yet, McCain won’t even fire his economic advisor Phil Gramm. The real man who created policies which contributed greatly to this recent Economic Meltdown. Unbelievable! Maverick or Mouse, or pathological liar?

Until the debates and McCain will outshine Obama. Even Obama knows this that is why he hid away from all debates save the 3

If the polls stay this close at election day obama will have a big lost.

The Republican party is trying to keep people who have lost their homes from foreclosure from voting.

McCain's new ad is racist, and he made a Bush-like statement today: "Obama first or USA first."

He has taken a low sleazy road so many times now, I just can't believe anything he or Palin is saying.

Most of all, how can you say USA first when you are trying to block millions of Americans voters? This is unpatriotic and a McCain is a fraud.

If they're smart, they'll get on board

On page 373 of John McCain's 2002 memoir Worth the Fighting For, you'll find the following quote:

"I didn't decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize."

^ a b McCain, John; Salter, Mark (2002). Worth the Fighting For. New York: Random House. ISBN 0-375-50542-3. p. 373.

Please please please don't vote for a man who only wants to win "the prize" of the presidency.

All you Pain-heads, stop trying to use your teenager logic in trying compare experience.

This is TERRIBLE for McCain.... Indiana has not gone for the Dems since 64. What blue states is McCain going to win again? The GOP might go in to full meltdown if Obama wins.... be ready for their insanity.

We can only hope that the voters in these 2 crucial states are getting past all of the distractions, diversions, and outright lies and are now getting down to looking at where the candidates really stand on the issues. Once they do, it's GAME OVER.

Just say NO to Bush 44.

GO Obama/Biden!!!

Obama is riding a temporary surge fueled by his negative deceptive ads and false claims of actual experience. As usual he gets a lot out of the emotional impact of attack instead of ideas.

How can anyone take a candidate seriously who gets big money from Wall Street (factcheck.org). I am talking about McBama – they are looking more the same than different.

Vote Green Party for a change to the corporate politics. You have been lied to by McBama.

Re: the protester story below: does anyone know what the bottom of every sign says? It appears to be the name "Michael" and a last name that begins "War."

If McCain is having trouble in Ohio and Indiana, he is in REAL trouble.

Indiana is going purple! Get used to these words: President Barack Obama!

After 8 years of abject [R] failure in both the executive and legislative branches covering almost every aspect of national policy, any state that remains red after this Nov's election really does belong to the Federation of Dumbf-kistan.

Well looks like Ohio and Indiana are going to the Dems. The Old Maverick and his lipstick wearing Baracuda are finished. America has had enough.

We need turn out, Obama supporters – with the college vote turning out even at 50%, we can do this!!

Where is John McCains first wife CNN,and why havent you tried to interview her?Lets find her CNN and get some real news,your slipping here.

As soon as people get wind of the "shadow governor" and start asking whether they want a non-elected spouse determining policy, these polls will start to swing. Where are the children? Whenever anyone questioned Palin's ability to mother and govern, Todd was the answer-she has a supportive spouse. But he doesn't seem to be caring for the children when he's two steps behind her at all times. Where is the baby?

being a former Hoosier, really impressed that the state is proving to be somewhere I MIGHT be proud to be from...

This is TERRIBLE for McCain. Indiana has not voted for the Dems since 64. What blue states is McCain going to win again?

McCain by a LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How anybody can support the lying McCain campaign is beyond me. Better wake up America before it is too late.

The only poll that matters is on the first Tuesday in November.

Go Obama/Biden! We are proud of you. Please help our country and bring back some legitimacy and pride. I predict Obama will take some red states.

18 Million voted for Obama to lead this country based on his VISION not his experience.

Wall street journal totally hammers McCain. Come on Hoosiers do what is right for america, VOTE OBAMA!

Only poll that matters is Nov 4. There are a gazillion polls all showing different things. It is maddening. Obama just needs to keep on being calm, cool and collected and run his campaign. If he does that, then I am very optimistic.

McCain loses either of those states and it's over.

Why doesn't John McCain wear a flag pin?

McCain is coming unhinged. A couple more weeks like this one and he'll have trouble carrying Kansas and Utah.

THIS IS JUST IN: The McCain / Palin ticket had just revised their campaign in the wake of a weak showing on both states, the new ticket will be now known as:

DUMB AND DUMBER WORKING HARD FOR YOU, AMERICA!

Ohio and Indiana is going blue.

We have lost enough jobs due to the Republicans giving tax breaks to companies who outsource the American jobs. It is as simple as that.

Once all the University students and blue collar workers have they say it will be over for McCain and Palin.

By the way since when is Todd Palin above the law. He is running like Sarah is the president and he will be the vice-president. Give us a break, we are not stupid.

Obama / Biden '08

I'm proud of the Obama campaign. They are working real hard! We'll win these states, mark my words.

Polls don't include voters who have never voted before. McCain is done since the only supporters he has are of his own age...

McPalin is not ready for this country. Only lies and deceit is all they know.

GO BARACk!! WIN THIS ELECTION!! WE NEED A DEMOCRAT BACK IN OFFICE!!

All the young voters with cell phones will win the states for Obama.

If MPalin would stop tell lies people will belive him but what can we say McBushPalin.

I cant believe that Obama is that clsoe to McCain in Indiana! This is usually one of the reddest states in the union!

Thats why I dont believe the polls at all this election cycle.

Go Obama/Biden 2008

Ohio and Indiana are going to be some of the states to watch in November. Unless something happens to either boost one of the candidates or shoots one down, it is going to be tight the rest of the way.

Come on, Ohio! We're all counting on you!

Obama/Biden '08!

All the young voters will win the states for Obama.

LETS GET IT............
