it's sad to read the silly womens response who say they will not vote for obama because of the clinton's situation. what about all the mcshame and sarah lies. be honest and say u want vote for a black man and rather see this country suffer 8 more years. i'm goning for those who still have hate in their heart. obama/biden '08.

Barack, the best way to appeal to female Floridians is get yourself a walker.

I am a WHITE mom of 4 and Obama has had my vote from day one. He CARES, hands down, he cares… McCain/Palin can't honestly say that with a straight face. We need someone that truly cares about us MOM's. He knows this because he's watched his own mother struggle. That alone puts him high up in my opinion, he knows what women go thru more than McCain ever could. McCain PUTS women thru hell, not help them out of it.

Wait a minute…

What kind of person, Mayor, Govenor Fires anyone that is not 'Loyal" to her even as if she is Above the Law?

Sarah Palin has ORDERED her State Employees to NOT COOPERATE in the Legal Discovery of Facts in an Official Investigation. ORDERED them to conceal the truth.

She is a CHRISTIAN..?

This man does not understand that the Supreme Court does not make the law, they interpret them in relation to the Constitution. There is a woman on the Court, does he not think that a women judge could not possibly interpret the choice law different then he does( I know this one supports abortion)? That only male judges will block a woman's right?

It AMAZES me how Dems and Repubs change from one candidate to another.

Why aren't you following your party's PLATFORM?

Those are things that your candidate is supposed to be guided by as he/she governs.

The party platform is the doctrine/dogma/beliefs of your party. Those of the Dem and Repub parties are so different.

So how can you just switch from one candidate to another like you do?

I am an Independent. This gives me alot of room for decision making. I can pick and choose which beliefs on the parties' platforms that appeal to me and those that don't.

I could not in all conscience be a member of a specific party and switch to the other party's candidate.

If you were informed Hillary is in Ohio for Obama.
Please watch the news before commenting

I came to this blessed country many years ago from Argentina, one of the only countries that print money to solve its problems.
I thought that USA was a country of opportunities like the ones we (with my husband) lived under the Clinton administration.
Yesterday I saw a clip from the first Presidential Debate between Bill Clinton and Bush father and I think we are watching the same movie again!
Forget the experience, race, gender, jugdement, and everything else. What the republicans do not underestand that this is a philosophy issue. We can’t take this anymore!!! We gave the opportunity to them for 8 years! We need a democrat to heal our country again…

Patricia,

Why is it when I comment on your blog that I am always "awaiting moderation". If you have to moderate my comments because they do not coincide with your views, then just don't change anything but , instead, eliminate it. You may not alter, ie moderate, my blog. In other words, YOU may not speak for ME.

To Lynn Ex-Democrat now for McCain: did you mean domed or doomed? I'm one of those terrible Obama freaks trying to clarify what you are saying.

I fully support Barack Obama's campaign and salute his health care plan. SUGGESTION: Michael Moore's movie "Sicko" should be a must-see for everyone but especially women, to fully understand our current health care crisis. THEN read "Why Obama's Health Care Plan is Better" (September 16, Wall Street Journal) and you will see many of the outstanding benefits mentioned in the movie, in his health care plan. The preventive care alone will save the country billions of dollars. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO IGNORE THIS. Under McCain's plan, many millions more will be without employer-sponsored health insurance, and the "coverage" will be even worse than now. Pay attention women! This is about you!

I can not believe the women who once supported Hillary Clinton, have so easily forgot everyhing that she stands for and are going to vote McCain/Palin just because there is a woman on the ticket. I see people dressing their little girls in t-shirts that say "Strong women vote for McCain/Palin.' Strong women do not forget everything that they believe in just because the other party has someone of their same gender on the ticket.

Hey how about the time he flicked Hillary off. Or how about the time he said he would campaign in 57 states. There are 57 Islamic states or how about the time he said he was Muslin before the interviewer corrected him.

You won't find more of a Washington insider than John McCain.
The vast majority of Americans are so easily fooled and even more easily led.

Really??? You then have never heard of….Joe Biden and his 36 years as a US Senator!! How easiily fooled and easily lead you are!

I'm a woman. and he doesn't need to bother pitching anything. Obama is a terrorist attempting to take our country from within.
First, it was 9/11; Second, it is Obama.

Women will win the day. Women will put Obama in the White House. Women will change history.

Behind this great man are a whole lot of great women.

We're fired up and ready to go!

A Woman In California For Obama: September 19th, 2008 6:40 pm ET said: All I have to say is ANY woman who votes for Palin/McCain gets what they deserve. I hope their sons and daughters come home feet first.

That is the most ignorant and hateful thing I have ever read! Are you proud of you ignorance?

Secondly, if Iam not mistaken, there were and still are millions of women who wanted Hilllary for your running mate. So, while you claim to know what women want it is another matter to deliver want women want!

Paris September 19th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I will not vote for this Empty shell.

I am a registered independent and voting for John McCain

Proud democrat voting for McCain.

I'm voting for experience and McCain is my choice!

ALL OF EUROPE AND THE UNITED NATIONS FAIL TO STOP IRAN
NUKE PROGRAM. DOES OBAMA THINK FOR A MOMENT HE CAN STOP IRAN'S NUCLEAR PROGRAM?

Well as an outsider and reading some of these blogs I honestly don't believe Americans have much of a future ahead of them unless they start forgeting about the lies and smears and look at what issues you need to survive.

Your country is a wisker away from a full blown depression and not much farther away from a draft to support many potential conflicts throughout the world.

At some point in time Americans are going to have to put more of an emphasis on helping their citizens survive than fighting and financing wars. You can't keep spending so much money on unnecessary wars and hope to survive in the long term.

Just some thoughts but somehow I don't think many of you agree with me on this one.

Was ready to vote for Hillary, but now voting Barack Obama. McCain/Palin will not do anything for us. It would be like voting for Bush, there won't be any change, Repubs don't have that change in their mind set. Repubs would overturn Roe v Wade, no right to choose, no equal pay for equal work, also I do/would not agree with their pick of Sup Ct. Judges that they would put in place. I am voting Obama /Biden

Obama will say what woman wants to hear. Don't trust him at all. Remember about Hillary?. Now he love Hillary.Yeeee. NO HRC -___NO OBAMA>

Obama: Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, wrong on the surge, wrong on capital gains taxes… and the beat goes on. His lack of judgment and inexperience are just plain scary.

He even admitted that his economic policies could not be implemented in the current economic climate because they would result in disaster.

Empty suit

A woman's man eh? Just like Bill Clinton.

That's all we need in the White House waiting room. Another ladies man.

What color dresses do your favor Barack?

Women are not that stupid OBAMA. They see through you like quicksilver through screen wire. You are an empty suit. NO morals, a liar, and a conniving crook (REZKO). We can do better and will come November. McCAIN/PALIN 08

As a son of a single mother
I must say that womens should really pay attention to who is the best candidate for making America more just and equal! and not just pay attention to the gender of the candidate!

Obama/Biden 08

Obama claims to know what women want? I've been married for over 26 years and I still don't know! You have to tell me your secret!

Obama threw his grandmother under the bus for some race relations propaganda. Do you trust this man?

BJ, Mcsame choice that woman so people like you can vote for him. Even some Republicans have admitted it, it was a (GIMMICK) to pick Sarah. She has absolute no experience on anything, foreign or domestic. She's under investigation in Alaska for abuse of power, don't we have some one like her in office now who thinks their above the law too, we can't afford 4 more years of people like her and him(Mcsame)

Obama does not know what to do. Only supporters he has are the bloggers who write here. There are Canadians who are writing now supporting Obama. I think whole Uninted Nationas should write for Obama because he wants to give tax-payeras money ($50 billion) to UN. What an idea. Barack is a fraud, is a joke, and has no experience to handle these issues. Barack, go home.

Don't even go there, Hillary supporters are still trying to get over him not picking the best, "put democrats over the top in this election candidate", and you want to tell us that he's out for our vote? Tell us why he did not pick a woman, or if she turned him down. It would help.

Barack Obama would bring intelligence, education, clear-thinking and a view that the world can be better to the office of the presidency. it is impossible for me to think of the consequences this country would face with 72 year old John McCaCane in office, good man that he is, a twice cancer survivor, and with Sarah Palin, totally unqualified, as VP just waiting to pounce. Love your country – vote smart – Vote Obama/Biden.

A Senior Southern Lady – Independent voter

On this evening news, 9/19, Obama had a photo opt with former members of Clinton economic team. He was surrounded by them but where was Hillary. No wonder Hillary supporters are going to vote for McCain. Every chance he gets, he ignores the Clinton's.
He thinks women are stupid and don't notice these things. This is why Obama will lose the election. He just is too inexperienced to be President and he knows nothing about the women that supported Hillary Clinton. He can't win us back.

We want to see more of Hillary and Michelle on campaign. Then I am convinced you really are for women.

My favorite not reported news item of the day.

Taken directly from a letter written by John McCain, this is his Health Care plan…

–
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.
–

The man is obviously not playing with a full deck.

Peace.

Face it:. "The New Messiah" is just a common street agitator. It's over! Go home Barry.

You're not fooling anybody, you're not going to be President

It's back to the senate as a footnote in history!

McCain/Palin '08 The Choice for Smart People!

How can any woman vote for a man who picked an inexperienced lying person to be his running mate.
The woman lies so much she now cannot distinguish the truth from her lies.
She tells Charlie Gibson that she didn't blink and eye when asked to run for veep. But she tell Sean Hannity, that she waited and talked it over with her girls and they decided as a family.
She tells anyone who'll listen that her state brings in 20% of oil to the lower 48, yet it's been said that it's as little as 3.5% to 13%
She told Charlie that she's been to Iraq and Germany and other countries, yes but only to have her plane refueled.
She can see Russia, Siberia from her backyard, how does this give her international experience.
She said that she would put the Fed budget online. She doesn't even know that it's been online for 2 years already, due to a bill brought in part by Barack Obama.

Chuck Hagel from her own party doesn't consider her to be veep material, so anyone who reads the newspapers, watches cable or non cable news must know that this woman is not ready to be the Vice President of the US.

Please people, follow the issues.

Angela, you could not have ever really been a Hillary supporter if you are even thinking of going over the the McCain/Palin ticket, they are agianst everything Hillary has ever supported. You are either a plant or uneducated, hey I can't hold that against you but… VOTE issues not gender!!!

It seems the same group of people blog or are you just bots.

Have any of you even bothered to do some research, have any of you studied who voted for what? Did you study all the canditates fully?

My Daddy used to tell me "I noticed the young men looking at you, soon they will be asking you out, I want you to do me a favor. I want you to listen to them boast and brag, let them talk, cause they are just trying to give you a little sweet talk." I said "Oh what should I do?" He said " They only want something from you, maybe a smooch maybe something more, don't fall for it. Do something first, first find out what this guy has done, find out everything you can, your a smart girl." This was real good advice from my Dad

You girls have got to get smart. Obama has done nothing in Congress and if you find out just what he did do in his community service job you will run for the hills.

McCain/Palin 08

To all the women out here who keep saying Obama doesn't respect them, that's why they can't vote for him, please, stop with the excuses. Just admit it too yourselfs, he's a blackman and you can't vote for a blackman. So if your not happy with Obama go vote for the guy(Mcsame) WHO REALLY DOESN'T RESPECT WOMEN and who will start wars and have your sons and daughters fighting. A guy who thinks women shouldn't get paid the some as men. A guy who run out on his first wife when she was in a very bad car accident, yeah that's true honor!!!!. So go ahead vote for that guy who wants to over turn "ROE vs WADE

Smart Women for Obama/Biden 08/12

Barack the VOTE

Well, well. well. Sarah Palin continues to peel votes from the Dems and now Obama realizes the full value of those votes.

It's funny how politicians only respond when they need the votes.

A few months ago OB felt he didn't need help with women and now the red flags are flying, the radar's beeping and the Dems have launched 'WONDERFUL WOMEN'S WEEK' and the Anointed One is playing suck-up.

HRC was the most natural and best choice for VP and the OB team arrogantly dismissed her. Good judgement, huh?

If a so-called weak, lying, inexperienced, morally defective candidate like Palin can peel votes from His Royal Luminosity, how good is this guy really?

When the elction is over, there will be plenty of blood-letting in the Dem party and lots of familiar faces will be gone.

I'm going to start a pool where we pick the politician and the date they quit or get fired. First, Dean. Second, Pelosi. Third, Obama. Fourth, Reid. And many more later.

mccain picked a woman for president so he could use her.

everyone loves obama! he's awesome! smart,too. he brings people together and promotes calm conversations. even when other balacks are being rude to him, he tries to be polite. this is why i'm a 'rednecks for obama' member. i think his race is a little bit of all of us. i like that.

How can any smart abled bodied american think of voting for Mccain. have we not suffered enough from the republican lies and deciet. four more years of McCain is going to be hell on earth. up Obama -biden.

Aren't there laws against women selling themselves? Palin should be put in jail for prostitution because she has sold herself to a campaign full of lies. And she didn't even blink!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin is the modern Dan Quayle — SARAH QUAYLIN This WOMAN is voting Obama/Biden

MAKE ONE THING CLEAR ————-MCSAME DID not PICK A WOMAN AS v.p. THE EXTREME RIGHT WING CHRISTIANS PICKED HER FOR HIM.

McSame is the right wing's beeee-och

Amen

Obama is for a lot of womens issues whether people realize it or not
on another note
Its beyond pathetic when the presidential *republican* nominee has to go everywhere with the VP pick bc he himself cannot draw enough of a crowd
THAT in itself should tell you something about this team!
You are not voting for a *popularity contest*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are voting for the next **President**!!!!!
Wake up and smell the coffee before you have the two MCSames in there again for another 4!!!

AFTER READING THESE COMMENTS I WANT TO SAY EVERYONE SAYS OBAMA IS A FLIP FLOPER BUT AS WE SEE MCCAIN DID NOT WANT TO DO A BAIL OUT OF AIG. AND TTHE NEXT DAY CHANGE HIS STAND. WE WOULD HAVE LOST ALL OUR PENSION IF THEY WERE NOT BAILED OUT.
WHAT IS UP WITH PALIN SCARED TO FACE THE REPORTERS BY HERSELF. AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN DOES NOT WANT TO COOPERATE WITH THE INVESTIGATION. USUALLY IF YOU ARE NOT GUILTY YOU WOULD NOT CARE.
HAS ANYONE NOTICE THAT EVERYTIME A BAD THING HAPPEN TO THE MCCAIN TICKET IT IS ALWAYS OBAMA'S FAULT. THEY NEVER TAKE THE BLAME.
I DONT CARE IF HE WAS IN THE MILITARY BECAUSE I AM ALSO 17YRS SERVERD IN 3 WARS AND IT STILL DOES NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT THE THRONE.
I WAS FOR MCCAIN UNTIL HE DID NOT SUPPORT THE G.I BILL FOR MY FELLOW WORRIERS. AND YES I AM PART OF THE FEW AND THE PROUD.

Go Obama/Biden Go!!!

McCain tries to get my vote by putting a pitbull with lipstick on the ticket. She is a disgrace to women hood. I believe Obama
is sincere and really cares about women's issues. I will not be fooled by the lies of McCain/Palin.

Were all so sick of Obama we could Puke!! Stop! We are all domed if we let those Obama freaks in the white House! The democrats are diseased in the mind, because the truth is there just as much the blame for the War! I think most women our for McCain and Palin!

If Obama had picked Govenor Napolitano from Arizona then we never would have heard about Sarah Palin.

Napolitano is a 2 term govenor.

She has impeccable foreign policy credentials having hosted several international delegations.

She has worked across party lines in the state.

She is more popular than McCain in Arizona bringing the state into play.

This is a border state and she has a very good understanding of Immigration and a good relationship with the hispanic community.

As far as I'm concerned, Obama lost my vote when he chose Joe Biden. If he loses the election he has no one to blame but himself.

Obama is the one who is against women. Calling us "typical white woman", silly, not picking Hillary as a running mate, calling a reporter "sweetie".

Obama is for womens rights!!! McCain is not! Its simple ladies!! Think about your reproductive rights, think about helathcare for your children!!!!

Vote on the issues, not on emotion. There is to much at stake this year! I know some of you are upset that Hillary did not win, but to vote for McCain cause he is pandering for your vote is silly. Palin is against everyhting Hillary stands for! Plus if you love Hillary you wont want to put another woman in the office when we all know its Hillarys dream to be the first woman in office! Dont take that dream away from her, let her win in 2016. We can have 16 years between the 2 and take back our country!!!

Obama/Biden 08 12 Hillary 16 and 20

John McCain will be Elected! In November. President of The USA…. Call me if youi dare!!!
I will be the Winner!. I am the little one, You know! The Icon, the : World Forgot…

A few million Toto`s , will also have a fuiture

Palin; yet another lie:
Palin Lies …Again … She approved Monegan's trip to DC !!abcnews.go.com — Palin on Monday argued in a legal filing that she fired Monegan because he had a "rogue mentality" and was bucking her administration's directives and went on an "unauthorised trip to DC for securing funding for anti-sexual-violence program …. The problem ….. SHE approved it !!!!!!!

Sarah can never, ever walk in Hillary's pant suit.

McCain is more of the same, elect Barack Obama.

Tanya…you and your accountant are stupid…You are clearly lying as anyone who is really paying attention knows that our 401k's are safe and secure..Your attempt to discredit a republican in favor of Obama is silly and not needed while people work through this crisis..Please people, have some facts….

Shame, SHAME on you McCain!!! Sorry, but I just saw his latest attack ad with a feeble attempt to link Obama to Rains (untrue of course). But what is shocking is the racist undertones that are purposively placed to appeal to the worst of human nature: bigotry, racism, fear.

Not the first McCain attack to do this either.

And he claims to be a "uniter." Go crawl under a rock and lets work to better our country….Country first means getting rid of McCain.

I will definately support Obama! I certainly hope that women will realize that Palin and McCain do not stand for womens issues. They don't stand for anyone's issues.

There is no way Obama could get my vote. Unless he started preaching tax cuts, a decrease in the size of government, and a free-market economy… but this is about as likely as our economy surviving an Obama administration. Obama is exactly what women are beginning to suspect he is; a know-nothing pretender instead of an advocate of real change. Remember; change is not always positive.

HEY IDIOTS VOTING FOR MCPALIN, : MCCAIN DIDN'T EVEN VOTE FOR EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN. WHY WOULD U VOTE FOR THIS CHAUVINIST???

PALIN DOESN'T WANT TO HELP WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN RAPED THAT IS WHY SHE FIRED THE POLICE COMMISIONER AND MAKES WOMEN PAY FOR THEIR OWN RAPE KITS. ALASKA HAS THE HIGHEST RAPE CASES IN ALL 50 STATES.

People who are going to vote for McCain just because of the Hilary thing really need to think twice or maybe 3 times. If Obama would have picked her, he would have recieved so much flack, people would have precieved it as political pandering, postering, buying votes. I knew before he picked Biden he was in a NO win situation with this thing. So you would pick a man who wants to take your rights away from you, suck away the rest of our future, I guess 8 years of Bush and Co. hasn't done enough to sway people away from this whole thing.
McCain is a hot head, he reminded me of a Bull in a China shop today when he was speaking, not reasuring not at all! Obama was calm and didn't want to speckulate on a course of action without further information. THANK GOD how refreshing someone who thinks before he acts!
If McCain wins this due to a Gender Card, people deserve what they get… Sad!

Obama #1 September 19th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Obama if you support equal pay, why do the women working on your campaign early 83 cents for every dollar a man earns? (FYI it's $1.03 for McCain staffers). If you cared about the women why did you run a sexists campaign against Hillary. If you respect women why did you belittle Governor Palin dissing her as a small town Mayor after she was announced and failing to acknowledge she is Governor of a state. Your actions speak much louder than your words!

____

Your a blatant idiot full of lies!

I heard a great speech by Hillary praising Obama at the convention but I havent seen any coverage of her campaigning for him. Whats going on here? Does she or doesn't she want to get Barack Obama elected this fall? If anything, the democrats need her now more than ever since Palin is taking up so much of the media coverage in favor of the republicans. We need Clinton on camera talking to women and pleading with them to vote on the issues that matter to them and not get caught up in the hype that is Palin.

NIGHTINGALE WHO SINGS IN BERKLEY SQUARE : YOU ARE THE DISGRACE TO WOMEN IN THIS NATION. YOU HAVE BEEN BLOGGING SO MUCH HATRED. AND THREATENING TO VOTE FOR THE MOST IDIOTIC PAIR PALIN/MC CAIN.

JUST SHUT UP!

PLEASE!!! Say something!!!

I have a grandmother, mother, wife and daughter too. So does McCain. Why does that make Obama such a advocate for women?

Substance people… substance…………………

He's unleashed an army of women against Palin.
He wants women to think he has a better understanding of females than Palin or any other woman. If that's the case, why doesn't he pay his female staff the same as the men, as was pointed out on one of the networks. Most of all, why was Hillary not on his list for vp? He gave the impression she was on his short list.
He chose a man as vp….one who doesn't threaten him and one who only rcvd 1% of the votes as a candidate for president.

Where is the fairness in his treatment of Hillary, and now Sarah?
Don't buy a pig in a poke, ladies. Look past the charm and you will see nothing spectacular. And please, it's hard enough being a woman in this country….don't turn on your own gender, don't make it harder.

Obama #1 September 19th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Obama if you support equal pay, why do the women working on your campaign early 83 cents for every dollar a man earns? (FYI it's $1.03 for McCain staffers).

Since McCain opposed the latest vote for women to have equal pay with men because he thought it would cause more lawsuits, I hope if he is elected, he immediately cuts Palin's pay 30%.

Obama/Biden in 2008!

Every Woman That I Know Is Voting For Obama! We Are Trying To Turn Missouri Blue!

Obama should have let Bill Clinton to the pitching to the women. I hear cigar companies could use a few more sales.

But seriously, if Obama really cared about the women's vote, he would have Hillary running as his VP candidate instead of that moron Biden. Biden got a grand total of about 7000 votes during his run for Pres this time around. Why on earth would you put someone on your ticket who has proven to have very little support from your own party's constituents?

Bush is the worst President of the U.S. in recent times, that he caused the voters to vote for anyone just to get rid of all his stupidities in the White House. This will be the worst election in the history of the U.S. I will not vote because none of them will do what they are supposed to do for the general good and for the sake of this great country. Obama just want to be Prrreeesssiddddddent of the USA.
He will not be able to do change, he will be a puppet president. McCain in his late years, is given a chance to be powerful and to use that power for the general good and for the sake of this great country. He won't do it. He is loyal to the GOP than to the hard working taxpayers and to this country. He does not get it. The situation is too polarized. The intelligent voting public is in a huge dilemma.

Obama is a three-year Junior Senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times. As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single memorable article?

HIS MOST MEMORABLE WORK IS A BIOGRAPHY OF HIS FAVORITE SUBJECT: “HIMSELF”.

He worked 142 days in the senate and has spent the rest of the time running for president. If he can’t do his senate job — he certainly cannot lead our country. He has based his entire campaign on lies and has too many ties to terrorists and anti-Americans.

I’m voting for John S. McCain in November.

When you people post information such as Barack pays his women staff workers such and such…please include your source. All I know you can be making this information up.

The truth is, Obama is on record and voted for women's right more than McCain. Also if you look at his family, he was raised by his mother and grandmother, married to his wife and has two daughters…I would think he's someone who cares about women's right over the womanizer McCain who is against abortion, equal pay, and ONLY picked Palin for political gain.

Also if you compare the issues side by side…Obama is clearly the winner. We cant afford another 4 years of the same.

Vote Obama/Biden.

The world is behind your back………..OB……Hope for tommorrow USA…

Sarah Palin is frightening. We must not put her 2nd in line to the Presidency. We need well educated, thoughtful leaders. Somehow we need to help voters get past their archaic racism.

CNN.. these post are almost all planted. When did you become so bias?I now watch Fox News, because it is the only place I can get news about the candidates without bias. I know you won't put this post foward, but at least you can see an opinion from someone who USED to watch you network 6 hours a day.

John McCain is not an advocate for womenIn fact john McCain is not even an advocate of the American people if he was he would not have picked the VP he did) But we all know "ambtion can get the best of us"
…I have so much faith in women & although it would be wonderful to have a women leader we really need one with some expreience. I would be opposed to Palin just in beliefs alone, so maybe I am not one to talk'.
But I will share my wish.
I would like to have everyone look at the candiates as people:
Not a pair of balls or a pair of boobs or the color of their skin. NONE of that should matter. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!
Please vote wisely…

Obama shouldn't have to pitch himself to women. Any informed woman knows McCain and Palin will send the feminist movement back 40 years.

When will we demand the dna tests for Michelles little girls to see if Barak is really their father?
Michelle has never stated that Barak is the girls biological daddy.

Obama is sounding more arrogant and stupid by the moment!

No thinking woman would ever vote for this shallow, two-faced obfuscating, equivocating, prevaricating and naive guy!

Use your heads women! Don't vote for this narcissistic egomaniac because you think he is hot or cool!

John McCain looks just like the crypt keeper, doesn't he? No, I meant to say he looks like the Grateful Dead skeleton!! He is too old and decrepit to be our Commander in Chief. With that temper, he might blow a vein in his head and keel over. And then we will have that dimwit puppet running the country!

CNN read post or do your own story but this is HUGE news for the voters:

This is a cut and past from the NYT:

John McCain’s article, Better Health Care at Lower Cost for Every American, in the Sept./Oct. issue of Contingencies, the magazine of the American Academy of Actuaries. You might want to be seated before reading this.
Here’s what McCain has to say about the wonders of market-based health reform:
Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

My thoughts: WE ARE DOOMED because middle america will be voting for Palin and Obama will lose!!! After all these gaffes, lies, scams and scandals if McCain wins it is only because OBAMA is black PERIOD!!! I will go to my death thinking that

It is time for America to Unite to save America's economy. It is time for America to be the best we can be. It is time to stop the hate, and jealousy, and have hope in America's future. United we stand and divided we fall.

By picking a devious, lying, and scheming woman like Sarah Palin as his running mate, John McCain has insulted every American woman. By picking her as a show piece to forward his campaign (she could be nothing else because she has no idea what she is doing and only lies about what she has done), he has demonstrated that he doesn't take women seriously nor does he support them.

You don't hear McCain promoting equal pay for equal work; he is really for pro-life and will repeal Roe v. Wade the minute he takes office. All he does is criticize and lie about Obama. The man has no integrity and has proven he is not fit to run the country and heaven help us if Palin ever gets into a real position of power!!!

Why isn't CNN reporting about self labeled "Obamacrat", David Kernell, 20 y/o son of Democratic Politician who hacked into Palin's email account to help his cult leader, the Big O (BO)??!! Obama is a cheat and sleaze, just like his young supporters who cheat and sleaze their way through school and LIFE.

Man, some of the GOP supporters revel in their ignorance. Still with the pig and lipstick smear Berkeley?

How about that other guy saying McCain gets it….he hasn't gotten anything but payments from lobbyists for years.

How 'bout if he goes around to each and every woman in his audiences and tell them , "I've got your back, SWEETIE"

OOOOH, I'm so impressed that NOW has endorsed Obama. This is the same organization that sat STONE SILENT, while the media unleashed it's vile sexist campaign against Hillary. Nary a word from this courageous organization while the likes of Jack Cafferty, Chris Mattews, and Keith Olberman spewed their rampant sexism towards Hillary. Oh Yeah, If I were a woman thats just who I'd want to defend me. They should rename there little cozy club, CLOW. Chicken Little Organization for Women. never a word from these self indulged hypocrits when Sarah Palin started receiving the same treatment. The Republicans stood up for her.

NOW is a joke. What they mean is National Organization For Women As Long As You Think Just Like Us.

Enough CNN! I walk away. I wish you the best of luck! Your going to need it! You are so Full of Crap,,, Barack Obama will never be Elected…. I said so!. In November???? Maybe! But then why should I?
John McCain is….. CNN! You lost…. John McCain is…. The Leader of a Democracy….The Democrats are Demoralised, Dimocrats. And Pelosi is the Democrats- Simpltons…Pelosi, he Queen of Twits.

Dear Where's Hillary –

Thanks for the good laugh. Hummm let's see . . . .

18 million votes VS religiou fanatic, gun toting prom queen –

NO COMPARISON. Nice try though.

If we can put all of our diferences behind us and vote obama then our country and world will have a shot, but if not, forget about it because it won't even take 4 years for mccain to fatally wound us.

SoetorObama supporter Mike Kernell (D-TN) confirms his son, David Kernell, hacked Sarah Palin’s email to help SoetorObama

please post!

Although I am a woman and not black, I will happily vote for Obama he is an inspiration to me because of his empathetic behavior towards those less fortunate. he is a decent man and would want a hard-working son like him. He is intelligent and well-spoken and is a unifier. He will bring this country to greater heights as seen with JFK.

God bless this country.

Just how dumb do you think women are Obama?

You trashed Hillary and Palin!

McCain picked a woman, mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, Governor Sarah Palin for VP!

You, Barack, picked a male Washington insider for VP instead of Hillary who actually earned more votes than you! You were pulled over the line by DNC coersion!

McCain/Palin 08! They have a record of reform in action!

Arthur James said:
He can talk the talk, but women in Obama's senatorial offices make eight or nine thousand less than a year their male counterparts, while the women in McCain's senatorial offices actually are making about two or three thousand more a year than the men there.

These are facts, not opinions, and they do not support Obama's rhetoric.

SORRY. They are not FACTS they are averages. McCain's campaign took the number of female employees, added their salaries and then divided it by whatever amount of women to get that "talking point."

McCain has said women should get paid less then men because they need more education and training, THAT is a FACT.

If the women want equal pay and equal treatment in jobs and any other endevor they should vote for Obama.
McCain has voted many times not to raise the minimum wage and to give women equal treatment in the board rooms.

Let's face reality. People are only voting for McCain because he's white and Obama is black. Why else would someone vote for a person who has no honor, no integrity and will lie his way into office. Some white people would rather have a person with these qualities than to have a black man in office. I knew it was too soon for a black president in the U.S.

Number 1 Issue for me: Economy. McCain fails miserably. His policies have been tried and we can all see they don't work. He also wrote just last month that we should privatize health care "the same way as banking"….McCain just does not have the right instincts for the economy. He is wrong, wrong wrong.

The only change i see from McCain is which different house to go in to. He is not right for this country and loves the war. I hope everyone thinks about their sons and daughters as i can see this man bringing back the draft. If you vote for him and that happens, you only have yourselves to blame for it for voting for him. Let it end now and vote for Obama for your daughters and your sons. He will finish what George Bush started. Do you really like that??? Dont vote for him because Sarah Palin is a woman.and thats it. THINK

the facts

a son who felt rejected by his mother. a grandson who never did anything for his grandmother, once he made good, after all the sacrifices she made for him. a father who will not buy his daughters, a birthday or Christmas gift, he says to show them limitations, but goes out an rents an NFL stadium because the Pepsi center somehow was not good enough for him. throw in how he ridiculed Hillary Clinton and gov. Palin, and maybe he will see why women are a little gun shy around him

Obama is only pandering to the women vote because he knows now that he should have had picked Hillary Clinton instead of Biden for his VP

Now Obama is using the Clinton's as his voice while being disrespectful on his demands of them

I am Hillary Clinton supporter that is going to vote for McCain/Palin because I at least want someone in the "Oval office" that knows what it is that their doing. NO TRUST FOR EITHER OBAMA NOR BIDEN

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

Men do not understand women well. Hillary does, Palin does. Men still are living in past centuries.

NOT buying all your TALK, TALK, TALK – obama. IF you really mean all you say – you should of picked HILLARY. BUt – you did NOT and this will cost you the election.

McCain/Palin – best for Women & America

Funny how the news won't report the fact that Obama pays the men working on his campaign more than he pays the women doing the same job. It was reported on once durring the Dem. primaries, then nothing! Course they do seem to drop anything negative about Obama like a hot potato!

Pennsylvania September 19th, 2008 6:39 pm ET

This woman is not impressed with Obama. I guess you could say that I am bitter, in the words of Mr Obama. I plan on voting for Mr McCain. He understand ordinary Pennsylvanians and Americans.

remember the guy that everyone wanted to have a beer with, is the same guy that has sucked the nation dry. So continue with your bitter voting, in 8 years americans would be migrating to Canada or Mexico.

I certainly don't believe Hillary voters would want Palin waltzing into the White House (could happen, the guy is 72 by the way) because Hillary was not the candidate. She doesn't deserve it.

Watching the Republican convention I noticed that the women were all made up like kewpie(sp?) dolls, and there were pins stating how hot Palin is. There was no disrespect like that the previous week at the Democratic convention.

Forget it Obama!

After the way you trashed Hillary and Palin I would never vote for you!

You do not have the experience, integrity, authenticity, judgment, stability, courage, moral center or core values to be president of the United States of America! You just obfuscate, prevaricate, equivocate and talk………..!

This former Hillary Clinton supporter will vote for McCain/Palin 08! They listen to everyday Americans! And, they have a record of reform in action!

The 20-year-old son of a Democratic state lawmaker in Tennessee was being cited on the Internet yesterday as a suspect in the hacking of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's e-mail….hmmm, sounds like a sleazy young Obama fanatic. Great morals to raise your kids with…cheat, cheat, cheat…Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

This woman thing has really gotten out of hand. I tell you this type of talk will make it very difficult for any other woman to be successful in another white house bid. If women are going to be bickering and acting like brats, why give the chance. Emotions sometimes cloud the mind and thinking becomes cloudy. Anyone in their right mind would not vote for someone who is stand total on the opposite ends of their issues. Clinton and Obama had closely the same position on most issues. IF THIS KEEPS UP I VOW TO NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER FEMALE FOR ANY OFFICE. Minds are cloudy and emotions sometimes cloud their thinking. YES I SAID. I love women my mother is one, but I know them and most of their psychology.

A King can only become a King,untill he becomes an Idiot…..

As a working mother of 4 kids, I WILL NOT vote for more handouts for people unwilling to work for it. Don't get me wrong, I know there are people out there who are hard working and struggling to provide for their families, but I've seen too many people who just want things handed to them for nothing.

Why is our high school drop-out rate so high?! Because our kids don't want to make an effort to get the most out of the FREE education provided to them.

I come from a single parent family who qualified for food stamps but my mom was TOO proud to take them and did without herself so that we could have clothes and generic brand foods. I paid my own way through college by working and taking student loans. I completed grad school while working full-time and paying for it on credit cards.

I do not think it's fair that after all those years of sacrifice and hard work that I have to pay higher taxes to provide for those who are unwilling to sacrifice for their kids or ensure that they finish school to provide better for themselves and their families.

Obama? NO WAY! He's as big a liar and flipflopper as the rest of them. Anybody who can't see that can't see past their own hand extended outwards looking for a freebie.

McCain is an imposter. He left his first wife for the Miliionaire drug dealer. Obama 60% McCain 40% its going to be a LANDSLIDE.

LIAR… PANDER… LIAR… PANDER…. PANDER…. LIAR….

We just aren't that stupide Mr. Obummer..
You aren't exactly who you say you are. We see right thru you, slimeball.

Check out CAUCUSCHEATING.COM

How can any TRUE Democratic Party Woman vote for McCain/Palin? I agree with Shirley P. Oh my women!!! Put away your resentment about how Hillary was treated, I did. Start doing your research on John McCain and womens issues……look at where I am from. Do some homework on the Keating 5 and stop putting the whole blame for the financial fiasco on Democrats. Look at the big picture, and see which party controlled Congress the most these last eight years. McCain was a deregulator and free trader and still is, I don't care what he says. As to Palin, well, she has little standing and this is what you want a heartbeat away from the Presidency. But if you want more of the same Phil GRamm's financial plan that got us into this, and the same cast of corrupt characters, then vote Republican. BUT: when everything gets worse, DON'T ASK THE DEMOCRATS TO TRY TO BAIL YOU OUT!

Pitching to women? We don't need or want a "pitchman". He had his chance and he thought he was invinciable and could jettison Hillary as soon as the media aided and abetted his nomination. The ONLY reason he is "pitching" is because McCain showed him up with Sarah Palin and now the polls teeter-totter day by day. This is what I don't like about Obama – he thinks he can rely on his charm and ingratiating ways to win over those he betrayed. I'm writing in Hillary Clinton's name on my ballot – it does count – I would never vote for a traitor.

Angela–

It wasn't arrogance and pride that kept Obama from choosing Hillary, it was trust. He couldn't trust her. She even hinted that a serious tragedy could happen to him. And remember, it took her weeks and weeks after he had won to accept that she hadn't won, and she had said a lot of terrible things about him during the primaries. During the time he was making his decision, she was still being defiant. Not only that, but choosing her threatened his message of credibility as a change candidate. And being VP isn't about earning it–there is no precedent for automatically picking a runner-up to be the winner's VP. The best reason for Obama to pick Hillary is because he felt they were the best match, but in this instance, it just wasn't the case. 4 years is a long time to be with a VP you don't feel comfortable with.

Ha, Ha. Obama had a huge chance to show his support for women and blew it. Obama ran a sexist campaign against Hillary, didn't pick her as VP, and now wants it all to be forgotten. Hillary got a lot more respect from McCain than Obama. Who picked a woman for their VP candidate? Actions count, words don't.

How far up America's bowels does the Republican "member" have to be before stupid Americans realize they're being screwed?

obama won who would you like to watch a football game with a yahoo poll done over the phone 50 percent for obama and 47 percent for mccain ….. VOTE Obama/biden 2008 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle probably forced him to say that! She runs their house and she will run the country if he's elected. Ummm ummm Michelle! Why haven't we seen someone interview him at his Chicago home….hmmmm probably because the purchase of it is surrounded by controversy. When is the media going to level the playing field. I'm over seeing Dumbo ears Obama and his idle chatter!

Why is the media not reporting the obvious…i.e., that McCain is copycatting Obama in an effort to play up the Bradley Effect? His entire campaign premise at this point has become "you don't have to vote for a black guy to get all the things Obama is promising….I will give you exactly what he has been promising his entire campaign in the safe, familiar package of a white guy."

Google Bradley Effect and Harold Ford.

Arthur James September 19th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

He can talk the talk, but women in Obama's senatorial offices make eight or nine thousand less than a year their male counterparts, while the women in McCain's senatorial offices actually are making about two or three thousand more a year than the men there.

These are facts, not opinions, and they do not support Obama's rhetoric.
—————————————————————————————-

Arthur, you have a link to these "facts" instead of empty rhetoric?

VISION doesn't get anything done. Experience does. Experience tells us how people will do things. Obama has very dubious and questionable experience at best with no accomplishment.

McCain has a history of working with dems. That's why so many republicans don't like him. You can talk all you want about McCain being a 'third Bush term," but that's a lie. You people make me sick. Like it's so horrible to reach across the aisle. Like the whole world is either this or that. It's not. There is a lot of gray. McCain doesn't pretend to have all the answers (unlike Mr. know it all, who seems to act like in two short years as Senator he's suddenly an expert in absolutely everything). McCain knows when to compromise and work things out with others who hold different views. Oh. How terrible.

Obama is good at one thing lying! He can pretend to care about everyone, but if he's elected he will be looking out for all his friends. What's scary is that someone with his lack of experience is being considered to be President. I would vote for Joe Biden over him anyday. Funny how Obama and Co. continue to pick at Sarah Palin. I think people who feel inadequate themselves turn the spotlight on others to distract from their lacking qualities. He lacks substance and integrity and he knows it!!

I'm one woman who wants absolutely nothing to do with Obama! Obama would be more credible to American women had he chosen Clinton as his VP nominee……but…….he didn't. Bad judgment.

McCain is way ahead of the game regarding women…..with his choice of a refreshing, admirable, successful female VP candidate. Palin was sure a surprise when she was announced. But I like her a lot.

I'd been hoping McCain would have Condi Rice as a running mate, but I hear she said she was not interested in any further politics and just wanted to go back to a quiet life at Stanford.

McCain-Palin – 2008

Thanks for the NOW PAC post Jeff!!

CNN is a little behind with the news…

Got it now. No need for fact check on Obama because he never says anything…………….

I'm a grandson, son, husband, and father too……..

Substance please… yeesh!

Yaaaarg, my name is Average Joe and I'm tough; I've fought wars and felt pain. Listen, you don't have to serve in the armed forces to be President of the United States. It's the wisdom to lead that matters, and McCrook (i.e., the person with no honor) has none!!

I am convinced that under an Obama-Biden Administration the right of all women will dramatically improve, thus improving the quality of life of all Americans. Women are the backbone of the American Family and deserve a President and Vice President that recognize this. McCain and Palin are not only fools but will set the women's rights movement back about 100 years!

Thanks President Obama

It's past time for a change of direction. This election is not just about women….it is not about race….it is, in every respect, about an ideology allowed to go too far. When our economy is callapsing aound us, we are "all" affected. It is time for the people to do what is expected in a democracy….throw the bums out (as my grandfather would say..) and start over. ….. it's not about personalities….it's about ideology. Just as shareholders and board members of failing companies make changes, by cleaning house….. it is time for the American people to CLEAN HOUSE in the way our democracy allows…..

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

As a woman, I hope this focus on "sexism" and "women" goes away…..in my 30 years as a non-management but successful worker I just can't relate to it. I loved the Clinton years…prosperity and good relations with the world were SO inspiring. I like Hillary. But I just don't get this sexism thing…….Sorry…..she lost me there.

I guess some women just hate being patronized by this over-sensitivity. I'm sure there are a few areas where discrimination still exists and by all means focus on those areas. But don't generalize it! Some of us much prefer to sink or swim on our merits than to be treated with kid gloves just because of our sex….
I hope Obama wins, and I hope the Clinton's play a big role restoring our prosperity and humanity with the world. Please don't lose!!!!!

Not every woman votes based on a candidate's position on abortion. There are actually bigger issues out there to focus on. And, my insurance covers my birth control pills, so if you want that covered switch to HealthNet.

Don't bother, Obama. Save your breath. Former Hillary supporter, now voting for experience, that would be McCain, not the junior senator. You had your chance. You blew it when you trashed Hillary. You blew it with your choice of Biden (career politician), no change there. You've bored me to death with your smooth talking, while actually doing and saying nothing. Goodbye. Good riddance.

Thumbs down to cnn for adding that last paragraph.

How DISGUSTING. BO is a sexist pig (sans lipstick). He disrespected Hillary and further fractured the democratic party by slapping her in the face by choosing long term insider biden. The only CHANGE that BO is capable of is asking his wife to change his diaper. Inexperience, frightfully scary for America. He is a sleazy LAWYER just what washington and America does not need. Mavericks will win it!!! McCain/Palin 08!! Leaders we can trust!

notoobama- look in the mirror and tell someone who will buy the garbage you and your Repug party are selling.

Record number of Repug filibusters and an idiot in the White House are the problems or are you too stupid to see that?

Latina woman for Obama!!!!!

Hey Average Joe: We are looking at the track record and we can see that McCain is NOT about change.

And you don't care about track records because Palin's lack of track record doesn't bother you one bit. Its okay if you just don't want to vote for a Black guy.

I'm very excited and proud to say I will be voting Obama-Biden in November. They are the best choice for women.

The current state of affairs in our country is going to dictate the outcome of this election. Obama will be the victor, overcoming covert racism, overt (yet untrue) attacks of his religion. The far right's efforts are posted all over the web. It's just plain pathetic.

Republicans are selfish and narrow-minded. Any talk of addressing social issues are superficial, or nonexistent. The only attempt at actual "caring" about others is with the issue of abortion. Yet, never a mention of how they would address the social problems that would result if it were to become illegal. They would just leave these women to live in poverty…homeless..jobless…no hope. Poverty is already a dire issue, and this would allow it to grow exponentially. PLEASE!
Then fools like OREILEY would turn his nose up at the new epidemic of poor, immoral, single mothers looking for a handout.
Tunnel vision to say the least, folks.

This country can do better…vote Obama

He is NOT for women, just himself. He uses Hillary and Bill to get what HE wants. Me Me Me…look at me! I raise millions and schmooze with stars…It's all about ME!

Get real people. Obama's promises are empty. Who's going to pay for all the things he promises? Not me. I already pay enough taxes for welfare fraud. Now you want me to pay more? Help people "who need it? " That's what volunteerism is for. All the rich people, including Obama himself, would do the world wonders if they simply donated money to "those that need it" instead of making tax payers pay. What? You don't have any? The economy is so bad that Obama raises record amounts of money? Where is it coming from? If not from struggling families here in the US, then where?

McCain/Palin '08 & '12…Palin '16 &'20!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain thinks women are stupid and will blindly vote based on gender. Palin knows she wasnt picked on merit, or substance. She was picked because she was a young woman who can rally the conservative side, with her book burning ways. Have you seen the list of books she banned? Is this the 50's?

I thought McCain was scary because he has sold his soul to get elected, but Palin is even scarier.

McCain truly underestimates women. He'll find out on November 4th!

Independent for OBAMA/BIDEN!

People, he did not say that he could get her voters and not the other way around. Any way, I believe that he truly cares about women and their issues. Given his background I would find it hard for him not to. Furthermore merely talking about the discrepancy in pay is a step in the right direction. McCain is not for us. He doesn't care about equal pay, has talked about using choice words, and choose a woman against many things we woman have fought for.

It's great woman are overall for Obama, but how stupid are white women that we overall are more for McCain? Come on women, step up for our sons and daughters. End this war. Fix this economy. Vote for Obama.

IF EVERYBODY WOULD ONLY EXCEPT "MY"POINT OF VIEW ,THIS ELECTION WOULD BE SIMPLE!!!THE PROBLEM IS "YOU " WANT "ME" TO VOTE FROM "YOUR" VIEW POINT !!!YOU AND I ARE NOT GOING TO CHANGE "OUR" MINDS,AND YOUR GUYS AN IDIOT!!!!

Can't we all just get along?

Obama/Biden

I find it hard to believe Barack ever had a problem gettin' women! He has me! He understands us. Oppressed women for OBAMA/BIDEN

I'm glad that OB is reaching out not just to the women, but to every american. We should all be so proud. However, the condition of our economy brings concerns of our future, and we all want what's best for our nation…..democrat or republican….can we please agree to disagree and let's get the best LEADERSHIP in the White House.

OBAMA/BIDEN

It's not that Hillary is not out there. It's just that none of the news organizations think she is worth covering nationally on her stops.

Chris in vA,

Agree with you! But guess this, red necks are everywhere. Was on the 405 in Los Angeles not thirty minutes ago and was stuck behind a monster truck with confederate flag painted on the back, a license plate that read "Pyro-Pop" and an anti Obama sticker in the window. And of course the driver was cutting everyone off, he almost took out a family of four! I couldn't believe it. I HAVE A DREAM… that someday this country will get of rid of bigotry once and for all!

Obama has been very respectful towards women and he supports equal pay for women and a woman's right to choose. Those are core issues and they are enough to get my vote.

I guess McCain thinks that women will vote for anyone with ovaries–even if they are anti-choice.

I think that American women are smart enough to vote for the person who represents their opinions and values.
This is why I think most will support the candidate who will protect woman's reproductive rights, who will improve public schools, who will see that all Americas children have health insurance, who will demand that women get equal pay for equal work, and who won't sent our sons and daughters off to fight wars based on lies.
And that candidate is Barack Obama.

How anyone can support Hillary and her platform, and then jump ship for Palin is beyond me. If your basis of voting is on something like race or gender as opposed to the issues (and I mean the REAL ones like economy and foreign policy, not the moral religious stuff that has no place in politics anyway), then you deserve the grave you dig for yourself when you suddenly find yourself with no rights, no house, no anything.

I'm all for women's rights (what woman isn't?) and everything we gained in the Nineteenth Amendment. The sad truth is that most Americans don't even know what that is. How many of you had to look it up? That's one of the real issues. Education.

Issues like abortion, aside from being religious and having no place in politics ("separation of church and state" anyone?), is a state mandated issue. (Tenth Amendment. It's your Constitution, learn it and love it.) The states are the ones that make those decisions. Not the President. It's aggravating that issues the President doesn't control are constantly brought up in elections. It's politicians taking advantage of our lack of knowledge. Knowledge we should have in schools. Education should be the main focus of any election. If we don't educate our students, how can they make the important decisions that will affect our economy? How will they decide what the right foreign policy should be?

Go Obama we are with you

cnn and the media want this election to remain close so bad, they can TASTE it.

Mccain just had the worst week in the history of campaigning…

obama gains in the polls, but the electoral map changes to favor mccain… puh leeze !

This is one woman, a Hillary Clinton supporter, who will never vote for Barack Hussein Obama…!

John McCain 2008

Does anyone notice that everytime Palin gives a speech, McMan is looking over her shoulder to make sure she's not gonna ruin his chances of being president?

Is this what some women consider as gender equality?

I hope not.

As a woman, I would like to ask all you women who fight so hard for the right to "choose" – do you know that Planned Parenthood (HUGE supporter of women's rights, and praised/supported by Obama in a big way) was established by Margaret Sanger, for the purpose of eliminating the black race??? This is factual, and well documented. Please do your research. Why would Obama support abortion and Planned Parenthood when its abortions and birth control were established to eliminate his race? Why would any non-racist Christian? And as for Biden stating that he believes abortion isn't right, but he can't force his religious beliefs on someone else… this isn't a matter of forcing your beliefs on anyone. It is a matter of justice – giving the most basic right of our constitution (LIFE, liberty, happiness) to the littlest of our society. Who will fight for the rights of all those little girls (women in the making) in the womb? Or do they have to be of reproductive age to have their rights recognized?

CNN, just REPORT the news. That last paragraph is just your weak attempt of stirring things up. God, I'm so SICK of the media. Remember the time when the news was just that? Obama is going to win this election IN SPITE of your biased reporting!

Arthur James."" Obama's senatorial offices make eight or nine thousand less than a year their male counterparts.""" Show me proof of what your saying. No one is taking your word for anything. Your just a republican liar like the rest of your party. Unless you back up your statements like most Democrats do, we don't even read your comments. Fact boy, Fact, thats all we want, not BS

AS A WOMEN WE NEED SENATOR OBAMA/OBIDEN .EVERY TIME jOHN MCCAIN IS ASK A QUESTION ON DIFFERENT ISSUES AND HE REALIZES HIS ANSWER IS OUT OF TOUCH ,HE COMES BACK TO SAY THAT HE DID NOT HEAR THE QUESTION. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE RESPOND IN THIS MANNER WHEN THERE IS A CRISIS?CAN YOU IMAGINE IF HE RESPOND IN THIS MANNER IF HE WAS MEETING ON FOREIGN POLICIES AND HE MISSPEAK AND LATER SAY ,I DIDN,T HEAR THE INFORMATION OR QUESTION ? THIS IS VERY,VERY,VERY SERIOUS VOTERS , WAKE UUUUUUUUUUP.

This is a man who truly respects women. Just look the way he treats his wife, his grandmother, and sister,..not to mention his daughters too! He was very gracious with Hillary and speaks of her with great admiration.

McCain, on the other hand, called his wife a c_ _ t, and joked about women enjoying rape. He ONLY has Palin has his VP because of she's a woman. He uses women and has no respect for them.

Obama is the right and only choice for women and america!

PLease, this interest in proliferating that anyone who would NOT for Obama is a "racist redneck" sounds like the logic of a racist redneck.
Put your LIPSTICK on that PIG.

Angela, you go girl. Hillary is NOTHING like Palin. Hillary was truly an "every person candidate," and not just a woman baiting candidate. That's all Palin is, and that's why she is fading quicker than a shooting star. Hillary was the real "Barracuda," and could take on the big boys, Palin is a puppy that needs house training. Palin is virtually voiceless because powerful men are telling her what to say and what to do, how is that progress. Second, I'm tired of hearing that Hillary should have been VP. I'm a Hillary fan, but Hillary did not want to be anyone's VP. She wanted to be the top of the ticket. It is an insult for women and men to continue acting like Hillary needs "sympathy" from Obama.

Watch out. Palin was appointed to run as VP for McSame only because she has the looks to fool people. She is very shallow, and is hiding from the press.

Now we hear that Todd Palin self appoints himself to become an official too, in Alaska. What an abuse of power. This Palin woman is so shallow, and whoever follows her like sheep – shame on you!

ISN'T THIS FUN !!! YOU SAY WHAT EVER YOU CAN TO INFLAME SOME KIND OF RESPONSE TO YOUR THOUGHT !!!! PRETTY COOL

Thank you Jeff for posting about the PAC endorsement for Obama.

You all vote for Obama

The lying salesman is at it again. Even though he stole the nomination from Hilliary, he snubbed her and this will probably cost him the election. Hopefully before this campaign is over his rhetoric will not conceal his inexperience and lack of good judgment. We have a neophyte here and American are finding out rather quickly. The last place he should sling his propaganda is Florida.

Obama you ROCK!!!!!!

Let' s make it happen!!! I am from Juneau Alaska, we need everyone's support to make it happen!!

BJ….obviously he picked her for political reasons…not because she was the best possible choice….so much for country first.

what a schmuck

I heard Sen. Obama's speech to Women in Florida. IT was absolutely amazing. He spoke as if he was speaking to every single woman. This is WHY this man is FAR MORE QUALIFIED and EDUCATED to lead this country forward. He's got this 'sixth' sense about him that brings a new element to this country that has been "lacking" the past 8 years. We've seen NO CHANGE in this country and we've watched our economy go down the toilets on the Republican watch. I'm ALL for CHANGE.

He's brighter, intelligent, not a "hot head" and a "reckless" thinker, he has this calmness about him that is absolutely amazing. He's always so well mannered, soft spoken and has a "calm" being about him. This is the PRESIDENT QUALITY we want in our President.

For the first time in a LONG time, I feel confident the future of my country. I feel like we FINALLY have someone who is "bringing something NEW to the table" for a change.

Obama/Biden '08

I think NOW's (National Organization of Woman) endorsement of Obama speaks loud enough! They say that Palin will only make woman's lives more difficult as she turns back the hands of time (if she had her way). As for McCain, his track record says enough.

I find it interesting that all the woman teachers who teach at my wife's school are all supporting Obama … and are all worried about Palin. In the end, McCains pick will back-fire on him. It's too bad, I'd love to see a woman as President or VP … but Palin.

And there's no way I'd vote Green … even though I'm registered as one. She's a little too elites for me!

I know you all want to comment on specific stories, but just wanted you to know that I am on a mission. I wanted to try alternative news sources in this election, so decided to try Fox news. My experience is that they publish very biased news, they censor comments to their stories, refuse to publish any comments that contradict their view point, and are generally a poor source of legitimate news. Go to any other web site for your info. Avoid Fox news at all costs.

Yep Obama for women thats why he picked Biden for VP after Hillary brought in 18 million voters. This woman is voting McCain/Palin.

To the nightingale,

I haven't seen Senator Obama "hiding around any woodpiles" lately, but do I wonder about what kind of "piles" you are coming from!!!

There are 3 women in my household – my 29 year old daughther, my 83 year old mother, and my 60 year old self. Mom was the only one leaning McCain – until today. She watched him on the stump and said "I can't believe I was considering voting for him – he's lost his marbles". This from an 83 year old! My Mom's the best!!!!

Obama/Biden

I saw Senator Obama speach this morning in CNN, like it.
He seems to understand what women are going through every day in America. To the contrary McCain/Palin come across with this issue as just telling women what they want to hear without understanding of our situation and worries.

Even CNN! Flip-Flop? But they will also have decide,, where they stand, this time around…
You can beat the hell, out of your public! But in November I will never stop, beating Up on CNN..This is also my world, and . I have nothing to gain from this Election ; other than a future for young folk…
Where does CNN stand????

I am a woman and I will vote for Obama. If Hillary had received the nomination I would have voted for her too. No way, that I would EVER vote for this dimwit Palin who has nothing in common with me, except a chromosome.

As funny as this may seem. CNN and MSNBC television stations have not been getting great signal, the usual for bout a week now. But, as strange as this may seem , FOX NEWS plays fine. I strongly believe that matter should be looked into immediately.

If Obama really respected women, he would have picked Hillary for VP.

Actions Speak Louder than Words B.O….wish you would have picked HIllary.

As time goes on, I'm more convinced than ever that Obama/Biden deserves to be in the White House, McCain in one of his many houses, and Palin to the Governor's House/Mansion.

I am confident in Obama's judgement.
Every step of the way Obama has communicated clear plans to take this country in back to economic stability and growth, exit Iraq safely, rebuild our alliances around the world and end our dependance on foreign oil. These are just a few of the important changes he will implement when elected President. Do yourself a favor and check out the details on his website. Then check out McCain's 26 year record and plans. What stopped him from implementing his plans all that time?

Obama has surrounded himself with the best and the brightest problem solvers. McCain chose Palin, lobbyists and Bush's cronies.

If you like a fascist state then vote for Obama. Next will come mind control……………………………..hell the Democrats are already there…..

Laura Bush stated on 09/01/08 that Palin’s experience as a mayor, qualified her for the Republican vice presidency.

Cindy McCain stated Sunday, 8/31/08 Palin had national security experience because Alaska was next to Russia.

QUESTIONS TO ALL THE MOTHER'S OF AMERICA'S CHILDREN

Are you willing to take a chance that the welfare and safety of your own children, may at sometime in the future be the responsibility of the Republican party that actually believes that anyone, male or female, with experience as a city council member and the mayor of a village of 9.000 for 8 of her 10 years of “executive” experience, actually qualifies the candidate for the top office in the land?

The same Republican party believes that the fact that the state, which has a total population of less than the city of Atlanta, and which she is the current governor of for all of 20 months, during which time she has already managed to create a cloud of suspicion for possibly abusing the power of her office. and is currently being investigated, is actually qualified for national security because the state she is the governor of is next to Russia?

No matter how you feel about the Democratic ticket at least the one with the lesser experience was ELECTED, and made a VP selection of someone who would bring balance to the ticket and provides some responsibility. The Republican VP was SELECTED by one man that actually believes the Republican statements and beliefs as outlined above.

You parents out there need to think long and hard about this ticket but more importantly about the Republican party which is apparently so welling to cater to the Far Right that the entire Republican party is willing to chance putting your own kids future in jeopardy, just so they can win an election?

How exactly is that considered "Country First"?

Firstly – I continually watch CNN(totally addicted). I find it absurd that women are leaning towards McCain just because a woman is on the ticket. McCain is not original, he steals all ideas and words directly from Obama's mouth. McCain and Palin continually LIE, a trait I can't stand. It is clear that Obama is very intelligent and if the citizens of the United States know what is good for them, they will vote for him. Smart leadership should be top priority, not bucking your party.

What I meant to say is McCan can't get his facts straight!

He could it made it easier by standing up tall and selecting Hillary Clinton as his running mate. Too bad . . .I'm not folding and neither are many others who believe it's not racism that will take him down, but his inexperience, questions about his core values, and his arrogant remarks made to Clinton.

barak and I both know what women want from him. Most of all the young college age caucasian girls that get tingley feelings runing up their leg just before they faint in his presence. He is so whay need.
LAMO…..!!

What? And women are supposed to vote for him because he's a Ken Doll poseur?

Go Obama!
Help save my mama!

to "wheres hillary and naomi, al" You ask where is HIllary- she just got done attending a fundraiser/speaking in Ohio and Florida for Obama and HIllary just had an internet video made with Biden talking about women's issues. HIllary has done more for Obama than any other losing candidate in history has done for a nominee- Obama won this- it's his job to go out and earn our votes- not Hillary's.

I am not sold on Obama myself- but I was glad to see him, yes him the actual candidate out there working to earn our votes. It's not Hillary's responsibility to win this election for him- it 's his!

Go Obama we love you in Florida don't pay attention to those Republcans

I read where Rick Warren said to vote for the person who has character. That spells OBAMA. Obama and Joe Biden are quality people who walk their talk. They haven't thrown out dirty, sleezy, lying ads just to get a vote. McCain, on the other hand, sacrificed country for politics, and just look at his past. He is an adulterer, a liar, a compromiser, he is forgetful, his lobbyist running his campaign tells him when to jump and how high, and he is truly NO LEADER! McCain can't stay on subject and when he tries, he gets his facts straight. He doesn't make any decision without his lobbyists running his campaign tells him what to do. We can't aafford to make a mistake and have McCain in office. He is not honorable.

McCain alienated me when he called his wife a trollup and the other word. He doesn't give a hoot about women, doesn't respect women and is not getting my vote. Obama shows his caring for Michelle and I believe he respects all women.

Lets face it…Sen Obama doesnt have to "pitch" himself to any women. Hell, if I didnt like his wife so much I'd pitch myself to him

Honestly, Hillary removed herself from the possibity of being Obama's running mate. The campaign she led was so incredibly dirty and offensive; how could he choose her? She forgot the unsaid rule of being her brother's keeper. They came from the same party, so they were supposed to be like family, but she turned badly against her family. Had he chose her, he would've been severly criticized for that as well.

For once I have to agree. Wrong VP pick!!

Bill and Hillary could be out there campaigning furiously and we wouldn't have close polls at all.

Sure, Biden has the experience and wisdom by far over Sarah Palin,
but Hillary would shredd her to peaces.

And absolutely right, with Hillary as VP
it could have been a blow out.

Obama / Biden 08

The! Dim-O-crat's??

Woman in Caiforniafor Obama: That is a very horrible thing to say – what is wrong with you? I would not even be proud to be an American woman if I were you – which I am glad I am not you. You are an insult to women and mothers.

Although he would not be my first choice, I am gladly voting for McCain over Obama in November. The nomination was stolen from Hillary and I was one of those voices that shouted out, we will not forget this travesty come November and I am keeping to my word.

Sad, sad, sad Barack-you should've courted this vote long before your numbers began to dip-

NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA!!!!

WE WILL TAKE HIS AS IS.

OBAMA WILL BE THE BEST THING THAT HAPPEN

TO WOMEN & CHILDREN SINCE THE DISCOVERY

OF A POLIO VACCINE. HE IS ALWAYS IN THEIR CORNER.

After all that happened this week, Obama should win by a landslide!

For once I have to agree. Wrong VP pick!!

Bill and Hillary could be out there campaigning friously and we wouldn't have close polls at all.

Sure, Biden has the experience and wisdom by far over Sarah Palin,
but Hillary would shredd her to peaces.

And absolutely right, with Hillary as VO it could have been a blow out.

Obama / Biden 09

The women of this Nation wants to be paid equally, have freedom of choice with THEIR reprodutive body parts, and want to be treated with equal respect…not like Barbie or a less-than-equal.
Obama will win the women's vote BIG- wait and see.
All they have to do is check the voting record on Women's issues – NO HOW- NO WAY- NO McCain/Palin!

Pennsylvania

you are not voting for Obama because he said the word bitter to discuss people's frustrations with the country. You will vote for McCain whose economic advisor called you a nation of whiners and have a mental recession. Wow so you are voting for the guy who insulted you. Well, the makes sense. Not!

I LOVE how when protesters interrupt McCain's speech, you Dems are all giddy and joyful, but whoa! When black protesters interrupt an Obama speech, all of a sudden it is a right wing conspiracy that they were paid off. Surely no blacks in this country are against Obama's plans to raise taxes which will put them out of jobs!?!?!?!?!?!

It is gonna be awesome when you wake up on November 5th and realize that there is no conspiracy and that yes in fact there are truly unpaid blacks who are against Obama. Sure Oprah supports him, but she can afford the tax hikes. These guys are smart.

And I bet you that Jesse Jackson followers do not trust Obama. Go ahead Democrats, vote to increase your taxes. Dumb dumb dumb…when you push that button, just leave a $100 Ben Franklin sitting on the voting booth machine for the next guy.

I do like how this story follows the "fact check" about McCain disagreeing with equal pay for equal work, haha.

I'LL TAKE HIM.

I AM NOT MUCH IMPRESSED WITH PITCHES.

BUT I AM IMPRESSED WITH OBAMA'S RECORD OF

SUPPORT FOR WOMEN & CHILDREN A 100% OF THE TIME.

AS A WOMAN I WOULD VOTE TWICE FOR BUSH BEFORE VOTING

FOR ANTI WOMAN, ANTI CHILDREN, WARMONGERING MCMORON.

It's so good had to be posted one more time!

National Organization for Women PAC Endorses Obama-Biden

STATEMENT OF KIM GANDY
Chair, National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC)

September 16, 2008

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce today, on behalf of the nation's oldest and largest women's rights organization, that the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) proudly endorses Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States.

It is no coincidence that I am joined in this announcement by so many allied organizations that collectively represent a broad and diverse cross-section of U.S. women. From teachers to social workers, from business owners to college students, women in this country are lining up behind the candidate who is out there every day standing up — clearly and consistently — for women. Women of all ages, races and ethnicities are coming together in support of Sen. Obama and his pledge to fulfill this country's promise of equal opportunity for our daughters as well as all our sons.

Although it is very unusual for us to endorse in a presidential election, this is an unprecedented candidate and an unprecedented time for our country. The NOW PAC reviewed Sen. Obama's record and public statements on issues that disproportionately affect the women of this nation, and I spoke with him at length about his commitment to women's equality. For example:

On pay equity. Sen. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation to end wage discrimination against women.

On reproductive rights. Sen. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Prevention First Act, to strengthen access to contraception and reproductive health care, and prevent unwanted pregnancies. He strongly supports Roe v. Wade and will oppose any efforts to overturn it.

On violence against women. Sen. Obama supports the continued reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act — of which Sen. Joe Biden is the chief sponsor — as well as the Security and Financial Empowerment (SAFE) Act, which is legislation to provide legal, medical and financial support to victims of domestic violence.

On the Supreme Court. Sen. Obama opposed the nominations of George Bush's extreme right-wing nominees to the Supreme Court, who have consistently ruled against women's rights,

For more than a decade, Barack Obama has said "yes" to women's rights, while John McCain has consistently said "no" – NO to pay equity, NO to contraceptive access and reproductive rights, NO to appointing Supreme Court judges who will uphold women's rights and civil rights, NO to funding shelters and other anti-violence programs, and NO to supporting working moms and dads with policies that support work/life balance.

NOW supported Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary, and now we join with her in saying "NO" — No Way, No How, No McCain! And we proudly stand arm-in-arm with her in putting our hopes and our dreams, our hard work and our hard-earned money, behind the next President of the United States — Barack Obama, and his running mate, longtime friend and ally of women, Sen. Joe Biden.

I look at the women who support Mccain and they are so different from me. I had 2 daughters and a husband with bi-polar,chronic psychosis and I had to basically be the breadwinner in my family. He has been in a healthcare facility most of our married life and I could not receive disability because it would stop my salary cap at work. I am surviving but it has been so hard. Now I have health problems and I still find some small amount of money to support Barack Obama. We need a change and sometimes it's up to the women to say "I get it".

I will never vote for you Obama. I am a black woman and I am ashamed of the kind of campaign you are running. I am really sorry that you decided to run for the presidency. You are making this election as dirty as it can possibly be. It took a black man to bring the presidential election to the lowest level it can get to and thats why we will never achieve anything if this is the only way we can win a race. You should be ashamed of yourself and you call yourself a christian. I know for sure that you are no christian or you would not be stepping so low in your attacks on a WOMAN. You and your people did the same thing to Hillary Clinton and now you have started on Palin.

All you Obama supporters are also the lowest you can be. I suppose you all have just dug yourselves out of your holes and so you don't know any better. When I read some of your blogs, I have to tell myself that these people are not real human beings. They are the most nasty, vindictive people around and if these are the kind of people who might be involved in running our presidency, then America has definitely lost its way. We have really lowered our standards on who can run for president.

I really wish every one, on both sides would stop talking about Palin.She is no Hilary and she has already proven to be just another politcian by claiming to be a open book and now Macains people are trying to put a halt to the investigation of her abuse of power. I want to hear facts,what you plan on doing to help get our country out of the hole Bush put our country in. I think its sad that we are so quick to bail out ING and other companies, yet real people have been loosing thier homes for the last two years !!! Where was the emergency meetings for all those people ??? When was the last time Palin,Macain or any one of the Republcan party went to the store to find milks 4.00 a gallon or bread almost 3.00 ! Start keeping it real. As a women my concern is seeing other women having to choose to feed thier kids or pay the rent ! Start giving answers insteadof telling me how long it takes Palin to skin a dam deer!

John McCain was brilliant for picking Sara Palin because he knows how STUPID WOMEN CAN BE. I'm and educated women who can think for myself and knows a hockey mom from Alaska can not be 2nd in command of the free world with no experience.

I'm all for women rights but I have two kids, was part of the PTA and doing all the budgeting for my family and I can Identify with Sara but in no way shape or form will I vote for her just because she is woman.

I want my daughters to have control of their own bodies, get equal pay for equal work and be looked upon as equals in this country.

Hillary is that woman and she says vote for Barack Obama and he has my vote.

Good evening,

not only does Obama knows what it was like to be raised by a single mother…he remembers it well and he still shows respect, dignity and pride! He can actually offer real solutions to advance womens living and prosperity conditions!

Even if you don't know what Sen. Obama's positions of matters affecting women are, you do know how Sen. McCain treated his first wife and how he treated the women he had affairs with. Gov. Palin's positions on women's issues are pretty plain by her stands on social issues.

If I were a woman, I'd be doing my best to get Sen. Obama elected.

Palin can see Alaska from her house and is 'Like Totally Ready to Lead' America with the old Dude.

WE will be the ones that have to live with a mistake used as a STRONG lesson to Obama if McCain/Palin get in the White House.

She will only care about herself, her family members, the woman in Alaska, she will move to Washington on OUR tax dollars, while we struggle to provide for our families while her and her family continue to live a lavish life on the tax payers dollars.

Be mad at Obama…that's fine….BUT really think about what you will be giving up for ALL woman.

HE DOESN'T HAVE TO PITCH HIMSELF TO ME.

HE HAS SUPPORTED WOMEN'S & CHILDREN'S

LEGISLATION A 100% OF THE TIME & MCSENILE HAS

VOTED NO 95% OF THE TIM. NO WOMAN IN HER RIGHT

MIND WOULD VOTE FOR THE PROVERBIAL SLUG. HE

IS ANTI FUTURE, ANTI CHILDREN, ANTI MINORITIES & JUST

ANTI ANYONE THAT DOESN'T NET HIM ANOTHER HOUSE.

I can';t believe any free thinking woman would vote for McCain. He only picked Palin to appease us. Her views are so far off from Hilary's.

Obama 2008!

Troy, I can't speak for other states but I'm from Virginia and I can promise the cities are going for Obama, it's when you get out in the sticks the racist redneck crowd with their confederate flags on their high rise pick 'em up trucks will be the problem. They would rather see the whole nation laid waste than vote for an African-American. Sad thing is THEY are the one's who would benefit the MOST from an Obama administration in the White House. Bigotry is a disease of the mind.

McCain supports Viagra being covered by health insurance but not the birth control pill…..

How can any woman in their right mind vote for him?

Obama/Biden '08

First; it appears that McCain is unaware of all the single mothers out there who are not getting one cent of child support. When that mother goes out to work she is the primary breadwinner for the home, for that woman to make less than a man (who may or may not be paying child support if he owes it) makes no sense. With the cost of goods going up more and more women are having to go to work, a person should be paid according to their work and not their sex.
Also; Palin should stop telling the public that Obama wanted sex education taught to kindergarden children; what he wanted was for these children to understand "good touching and bad touching" and for these children to know that it is ok to tell if someone is touching them in a bad way. For those who has never worked with a sexually abused child, this could be one of the most important things that a child in kindergarden could learn. The damage that is done to these children is something that lasts a lifetime and anything that can be done to pervent this EVERYONE should be for it rather than making it look like something dirty. SHAME ON YOU PALIN

I can't believe more women will vote for McCain over Obama. What has McCain ever done to further the rights of women in the 26 years he's been in office. I would also like to know where Arthur James got his facts on salaries in both offices. Instead of making statements that are unproven, cite where your information comes from. I love the fact check site. It has opened my eyes to many of the false statements not only given by people blogging but by the candidates as well. And, CNN thank you for adding your own fact check to the political ticker as well.

66 and voting for Obama/Biden

im voting for obama/biden because i believe they can change this country for the good,, those of you who are ignornat and are goin to vote for mccain,, im sure ill seee u here in a year or so complaining about your pick,,lol,, well, just goes to show,, listen,, and listen well, because those who sway you the wrong dirction WILL bite you a big one and that doesnt mean another check from the government,,, obama/biden..08 and beyond

Liz:

Womens rights? I guess you mean the right to have sex without having to worry about the obvious of what may happen. Hello? Baby? Hello? Having sex is how we reproduce so of course a baby can happen. And your answer for yourself and your daughter is killing the baby.
So let me get this straight. democrat stands for killing an unborn child (or born if you are on Obama's level of thinking), and sparing the life of a murderer who actually had a choice)

Oh please!

Obama you are a joke – This blogs so so full of hate but the good thing is the more the Obama Zombie dish out McCain gains ground. Look at the electorate map today.

HA HA HA – your Golden boy has lost quite some ground.

NObama is nothing but an empty suit – and his wife is more of the same. He will fail miserably during the debates. You know why? No teleprompter and he has nothing to say of substance.

Wishful thinking by Obama to paint McCain as "anti-woman", when McCain PICKED A WOMAN FOR VP!!!

Obama had Hillary, but he took women's votes for granted, even saying: "I'm not worried, they'll come back to the fold in November".

Actions speak louder than words, Barack Obambi!

Empty vessels sound much! People (read elitists) who never really did anything, and probably never will, spend lots of time talking about change, vision, and other bs. Fight for our country, get hurt, never leave friends in distress and feel pain, then you will know what it feels like to serve this great country. People like McCain understand and fathom what is the meaning of change. People like him uses their career to make change – and there are others who want make their career by using "change" mantra. I have seen time and again, in every walk of life, there will be few people who will be working hard to get something done, and then there are some who will come, talk flashy, smile at people and pat the workers' back and takes the credit – so I know a phony when I see him. Bleed for the country and then come back and say "I love this country" – and then only it means something.
I have hope that American people will not be easily duped – please judge properly and vote – do not elect somebody based on just promise… see the track record and experience. In one interview, BO says he agrees with the students who did not want to join military and then in a sec he promises he will create a stronger America by inspiring and attracting the strongest students – and the interviewer asks how he can do that when he agreed other way.. then he started deviating from the point in question. It clearly shows that he wants to please every body and make everybody happy to get their vote and actually contradicts himself and stands for nothing – there I realized that he is a phoney, and not strong enough to stand up. Women, do you really want to vote for somebody like that?

Hmm so this comment section has moderators. Figures.

WIll you sheep please do your research. For God's sake, Obama is dangerous PERIOD.
How's is that Democratic, I live vacations, Congress doing? Oh that's right, the worst ever.
If you people support the dragon lady, Pelosi, I guess it doesnt surprise me that you support Obama, friend to racist preachers, friend to unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers….
I could go on and on, and you people still dont get a clue.
The same man you support now, trashed your beloved Hillary Clinton. His tactics were downright dirty. And you dont care?

I think Barack Obama should ask Biden to step down, as he is aggravating ohioans . And he should appoint Hillary to take his place.
This will give him a winning ticket for sure and give him back the Hillary voters to tie up this election ticket.
He made a mistake , about not appointing Hillary and he should step up to the plate, admit he was wrong and get her in there before it is too late.

Women of America. Watch this guy who hides in a wood pile.

He has insulted you by referring to you lip stick wearers as residing in a pig pen.

Now he wants your vote. Tell this skunk NO. NO NO you can't have it

I can't wait until election day because I think the polls have been skewed in McCain's favor. The underreported truth is I know lots of white mothers supporting Obama. We're fed up with 8 years of lip service about helping us and will give someone else a chance… anything is better than where we're at now.

I am not a woman ,but I certianly don't want the goverment telling me what I can and can not do with my body.

Someone should tell John McCain the the melinoma he had on his face was living tissue too.

Think about your retirement – your 401K.

Do you want your money in the Stock Market? That's what McCain will do – privatise Social Security,

WHY in the world would HILLARY help OBAMBI now, when MICHELLE OBAMA said she "wasn't sure" if she would even vote for Hillary in the general election if Hillary won the Democratic nomination???????
R-E-S-P-E-C-T …. Hillary got NONE from the Obamas!!

A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS LIKE MILKING A BULL .

NO RESULTS . HE DOESN'T KNOW THE DIFF .

president obama just sounds better than president mccain. sorry.

WHY should HILLARY help OBAMBI now, when MICHELLE OBAMA said she "wasn't sure" if she would even vote for Hillary in the general election if Hillary won the Democratic nomination???????

I think Obama fills out his suit very nicely, thank you.

Obama/Biden 'till 2024

Women who claim they love Hillary SO MUCH but are voting for McCain and Palin only shows your voting for gender. Obama mirrors Hillary on womens rights and many other issues. McCain and Palin will set you back 40 years. Before you cast your vote for the Republican ticket I suggest you do a little research on what rights you could possibly lose and also chek the economy, healthcare, Iraq, Afgan, eduction, etc.

Then if you feel Obama is sexist and only cares for himself then you cast your vote for the Republican ticket and try explaining to your daughter, sister, cousin, friend why the can't have control of their own body and make sure you tell them who you voted for.

Angela, when did Obama say this:
I can win your supoporters, but you cannot win mine."

Provide some proof or perhaps you're just like the GOP, making things up…..

Women will vote for Obama for many reasons, pro-choice, equal pay,
protecting woman's rights…beside being raised by a single mother and having a close relationship with his grandmother, he has two daughters. Womens issues have always been on his "must do" list.
Unlike like McCain, he talks the talk, but also walks the walk!!!

Dont you clowns know what will happen when Obama raises taxes on companies and such? It goes right back to you the consumer. Morons.

obama is not for women except he is Democrat. Thanks oprah & caroline(sad excuse for a) kenedy written by a man

obama's a socialist dufuss

Notice the GOP supporters who claim that mcCain gets America or is honest and is getting their vote cannot explain their decisions or back up their statements.

Obama supporters know why they're voting for him. His plans make sense to get us back on track. Anyone that thinks voting for the same old party that got us in this mess and are running a shameful campaign that discredits their own candidate's honor is fooling themselves.

I have always been an Obama supporter, so he didn't have to convince me.

It seems the GOP is accusing the Democratic party and Obama in particular of doing the exact things they are doing. I am very familiar with this behavior, it's what my abusive ex-husband used to do to me — accuse me of drinking up all my money, accuse me of running around, accuse me of gambling – all the while I was at home taking care of the kids and going to work. It was pretty ridiculous, as is McCain.

I don't see where Obama is lying or has ever lied. But the falsehoods of the GOP and McCain and Palin in particular are quite obvious and very easy to call them on. They just done seem very intelligent.

The Democratic Party is very united. Whereas the GOP seems to be coming apart at the seams.

WASP (Woman Against Sarah Palin) Unite!!

If Florida goes to the republicans this time it just shows how much racisim is still alive in this state. We have alot of problems down here with the housing and job losing that the last thing I heard was there were thousands of south floridians especially in Broward County that have left due to these problems. They even had a shortage of teachers this year. How can anyone in these conditions go into a voting booth and vote for a republican that voted with Bush 92% of the time. I hope my husband understood we should go back to New York where we are from. People don't make that much money but housing has gone up and grocery and gas. How can we survive?

I'm a proud woman/independent for Obama/Biden 08 !!!!

Obama/Biden is the Best Choice.
McCain-insane Palin-liar are two Evil Devils!!

Any woman who has a son or daugher and is worried about them having to go to fight a war with Iran next……should not vote for John McCain.

He doesn't even have to pitch to me. I am a 32 year old, white, married, mother of 2. McCain's healthcare plans would bury my family since one of my children has a "pre-existing" condition. I am grateful that my employer offers health insurance for me to purchase. His educational plan is a complete joke.How will he decides who gets in the "good schools"? How will he keep the "good schools" from becoming overcrowded? Now Spain is a dictatorship somewhere in Latin America…and Sarah Palin wants "transparency" in Washington? Hmmm….the double talk express really is a bridge to nowhere. This Walmart mom is a registered republican who will be voting Obama/Biden in November. Put that in your polls!

I'm sidin' with Biden.

Obama/Biden 08

women of america

we don't need mcbush and his barbie doll to do what bush has already done.

more power to obama.

obama

If women don't vote for Obama…I'm not even going to feel sorry when i see any crap on TV about women suffering/domestic violence, pay discrimination. etc.

My only advice will be for them to go and complain to Cindy McPalin in one of her many houses and see if she gives a crap. Hey! Maybe Sarah will have a moose cook out…

American Women', I'm so proud of you. you are our Hops To get us out of this Mess that we are in that Bush McCain has created for us and our Children. I will be standing Proudly beside of you To Vote For Barack Obama.

The New York Times has published a separate list looking at contributions from "directors, officers, and lobbyists for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac" for the 2008 campaign cycle. That list — using figures from the Federal Election Commission — shows McCain receiving $169,000, while Obama received only $16,000.

unfouterly wisconsin and minesota will go to obama and obama will either have to win florida or ohio that put obama at 284

The poster "Obama # 1″ is obviously a man on the payroll of the McCain campaign. Just say something that has no factual basis whatsoever and hope somebody is stupid enough to believe it.

I know I already posted but Shirley P from Sonoma a GREAT post. You are absolutely rite about the role we all know Hillary will play in an Obama admin and its ppl like you that make this country great.

Obama is all love, equality, and unity. McCain is all about divisiveness, aggression, and inequality. It's so easy to see that. How can this be the land of the free if women aren't free to choose whether they want to give birth or not? If Palin-McCain…oops, I meant McCain – Palin really are putting country first, then regardless of their personal beliefs and values, honor what this country says is it's best quality…it's FREEDOM.

Demo in Ca why don't you end with because I never did any research , I like war / using lies to start wars , I believe in loosing over 4,000 troops and thousamds injured for life because of lies, I enjoy Bush and Cheney tactics and just want more McBush …….and I am stupid .
More than likely you are either a Pittbull / McLooser fallower or just admit it its the R word you are hiding behind .

Lets come together and show some brains that men say we dont have. We will vote for the party who put a woman on the map. Not like it happened with the democratic party who put our woman who was put in as a VP some years ago, and we as women listened to our husbands, or boyfriends. We have more sense than that.

"Here are our demands. We want control of our bodies…(our) decisions will NOW BE OURS." – 'Reclamation' – Ian Mackaye/ Fugazi

Thank you Ian.

Obama/ Biden '08

Senator McCain was pretty clear that he was a big part of the financial meltdown when Bernanke blew the horn in Jerusalem.

Hopefully, McCain, 72, will retire now.

As a white 37 year old single mom of 3 that just bought my first home two years ago – McCain/Palin scares the hell out of me. If they had their way, I would have more kids than I could handle, but that isn't their problem right? Birth control is apparently evil to many republicans, but at least I am still able to pay my own way since I only have three kids…

When I bought my house, I was barely getting a regular loan, which was amazing because I had been fixing my credit from the loser ex-husband since 2000. The day before I was to close – they re-ran my credit and discovered that I had recently gotten student loans in my attempt to finally get a degree. This bumped my credit score under the line and I ended up with an ARM. Two years later, I am stuck with this ARM even though I have never payed a mortgage payment late and will likely lose my house in the next year as the rates continue to climb.

Do I trust McCain to work in my best interest? NO.

No Way, No How, No MCCAIN.

Dear God, 'Woman in California': do you hear yourself? Is this how far this election has degenerated that it would cause you to say such a horrible thing?

People, stop and think. We're in a mess financially and whose fault is it? OURS. Every one of us who has been on a prolonged spending spree for decades, buying toys we don't need, houses we can't afford, and numbing our minds to what's going on around us. It's time to grow up, tighten our belts, and demand congress listens to us. But they can't listen if we're all wired to our i-pods and cellphones and paying no attention to what's going on.

Could we all be a little kinder to each other? These blogs are out of control. It isn't the Republicans or Democrats individually who have caused these problems, it's we the people who were too busy playing to take heed.

Any smart woman who knows better, will vote for Obama. Obama grew up with a single mom and knows first hand how hard it is for women in our world. We women need someone who knows what women go through in this country to raise a family, to educate our children so that their futures are bright and prosperous. He worked his way to the top, he borrowed to educate himself, he watched his own mother and grandmother put food on the table and he knows how important it is for a woman to make her own choices. Woman of America, we are depending on your voices, your votes and your efforts to put Obama in the white house so he can fight for us to receive equal pay, to have the right to choose. Please women of America, let our voices be heard.
Obama 08, 12

"Comparing Palin's experience to Obama's is not a valid argument."

True – Obama has less experience than Biden, less than McCain and less than Palin, Lets not pick too much on Obama – all he has is the vision given to him by Pelosi and Reid as a puppet.

Obama has my vote. I am a women and its shamefull to me that Mccain has voted against every equal pay for equal work bill. Its sad really. Oh and raising wages its sad. I am voting for Obama because we need smarts back in the whitehouse. Seeing all Clinton advisors with him today is smart, it shows me that he is thinking to put people who have been in that job. Smart man and he is ready to be President…
Obama/Biden 08

how is missouri a lean state i thought you only take ten point lead you are unfair cnn

The polls have swung TEN points in a wk. Thats called OVER. O/08.

If the past is any example, with Hillary, Obama is just paying lip service where he has to, and telling other's like Palin comments about lipstick and pigs.

Any true woman worth her salt would see this remark for what it is, an Obomination of a man.

I am an independent person. I don't understand why Americans do not reason for this election. Seems like they hate McCain and Palin simply because of Bush and they love Obama simply because he is opposite party member of Bush. I don't think they see person by person with reason. Wow, it's amazing that Americans don't think…

Put your country first…..vote Obama/Biden!!

If you vote for Republicans, you can kiss your freedom goodbye, and prepare yourself and your kids to go to war on the Persian and Russian front.

President Obama and Vice President Biden all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!
Women of America unite and make a difference.

McCain made the blackberry imagine what else he'll make up the next 4 years! LOL

"Obama knows what women want……NOT!
Every speech Obama gives he has to Bash McCain. If his message is what he thinks we want to hear, then he should stick to that and give us credit to make our own decision. His same old lines against McCain is getting very tired."

I was at the rally today and he didn't mention much of what McCain was spewing which was to blame Obama for the financial mess. McCain is a tired old man without ideas or vision and is just spewing nonsense and offering no solutions for a situation of deregulation that he supported for YEARS while he was in the Senate.

Fact is – McCain said the same thing at least 3 times since January:

"I still believe our fundamental underpinnings of our economy are strong."
-Sen. John McCain (1/23/08)

"I still believe the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
-Sen. John McCain (8/20/08)

"Our economy, I believe, still, the fundamentals of our economy are strong…"
-Sen. John McCain (9/15/08)

Women vote on many issues…not just one or two. I would also like to comment on the Biden/Ohio remarks..yes that story is silly and no one should base their vote on a joke..However, I think Obama supporters would have attacked viciously if Palin had made the same remarks..

So? Good. It's about time.

OBAMA is the common folks only hope.
God Speed OBAMA!

This gay man is going to hold my nose and vote for Obama. Hillary Clinton told me to.

Look like funny
Mrs.Obama saying Palin is cute don’t vote for her
Obama is counting women vote

I think Americans are listening to the canidates talk about issues far better than the press who keeps giving us Non-news-stories.
I am so sick of hearing Palin. And what is up with her refusual to cooperate with the investigation that was began before she was selected to be VP? Obama/Biden is the only serious choice, most educated and most relevant experience

Ready to lead the U.S to get back on track= McCain+Palin.
Ready to lead the U.S to get off track like "Derail"= Obama+Biden.
Business cycle is always up and down. You can't blame on President Bush or Republican Administration. Obama knows that but still take advantage on this to mislead American people on McCain economy plans. That means Cheat, Lie, Fool. Who do you vote?

It's scary, but do you realize that in four years the United States could be doomed? Vote for OBAMA for a new direction.

Now that we're over the lipstick, I think it's safe to say we are moving forward.

Obama is sounding wonderful and Joe's doing a terrific job. It's great that they can seperate and talk to different parts of the country. Unlike John and Sarah who have to stay together a little longer to prepare Sarah for the world outside of Alaska.

Obama/Biden 08

Pailin is "failin" women

Always has, always will.

If you vote for John,

then women's rights will be long gone!!!

Obama/Biden 2008

Obama would pitch himself to gravel if he thought that would win him the election. He is nothing more than a mirage. He has shown no vision and no plan except to win the White House. I don't feel the need for government to take even more of my money to spend it on government programs. I don't feel the need to let Obama tell me what to do or think. Vote McCain.

With the looming specter of a McCain presidency, complete with likes of Sarah Palin, I am trying very hard to put aside my distrust and powerful aversion to this man.

After what he and his pal Howard Dean did to Hillary Clinton and by extension to every American woman, I had decided that I would either vote for McCain or just leave that slot blank on the ballot.

Now, when it's safe, he decides to try to win the women's vote. One thing is for sure, this guy is now on his own, no Hillary to vouch for him. The one thing he could have done would be to set aside his childish fear of actually working with Hillary to get things done.

If she were on the ticket, we wouldn't have Palin, and we WOULD have an unbeatable team. I like Biden, but as he himself admits, he's no Hillary Clinton.

I guess I, and the many women I know, have 44 days to make a decision. The lesser of two evils, as we chosen so many times before, or sit this one out?

I do know I cannot cast a vote for John McCain.

Hey McCain~~~~ I can see a Taco Bell from my kitchen window, can I be your Foreign Policy Advisor?

I heard a BIG rumor that may give some women what they want. Is this true?

On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

If it is true it must be a last ditch effort to make a come back!

McCain thought that any ole woman would do. He should have chosen one with a measurable IQ. I'm voting for OBAMA..the SANE choice.
OBAMA/BIDEN

You people have lost your mind. WHY would you pay higher taxes? I just don't get it. Who cares about abortion, iraq, gasoline prices. Even in light of all those things, you think the solution is to raise taxes.

It is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life.

You people rah rah rah for Obama to take more of your cash. Take $$ from the executives making 250k+ a year and they will raise their prices to offset their losses. The guy at the pizza shop? Oh man, my taxes went up, so I have to raise the slice of pizza by $.50 cents to pay my kids college tuition.

You people just don't get it. If you people want to help the government out, just ADD MORE $$ to your taxes when you file in April. But DO NOT force that on me!

Forever 3…..leave The Intimidator out of this! If you plan to vote McShame and are a woman your moniker should be Dumb White Chick.

i just wanna know why do we get nothing an the rich get everything? can we all get are debt erased so we can all start over, now that would be patriotic. WE THE PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER!!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08 AN FOREVER

STRAIGHT

FACE

Obama did more than give Hillary a nod. The Clintons had TWO days of the Dem Convention. He seated all of the delegates and let Michigan and Florida vote. He had a fundraiser for her. Obama has tried to meet the Hillary voters half way. They seem to think that their wishes are more important than Obama supporters wishes, and that's just not true, he won.

So I'm over it, I have accepted Hillary and Bill and I'm ready to move on. The McCain camp is floundering and it's time for us to speed forward, full throttle.

People are suffering. It will be interesting to see if they vote for what got them there or will be they step out for a new direction. . . . . .
GO OBAMA!

@Listen Up…

There is ONLY ONE REASON I am voting for McCain.

I HATE TAXES. You can talk about all the other crap, but Democrats want to raise taxes period. I don't care about anyone else but my pocketbook. You guys go ahead and pay for all the illegals, all the welfare folks, give losers health insurance who don't do squat all day.

Me, I want my hard earned money to come to ME. PERIOD. If you want to donate money to the government, just ADD IT TO YOUR TAXES WHEN YOU FILE. Do NOT force it on me.

So that is your answer.

What a mess the Republican ticket has become.

Hey John in D.C. – read his book and you'll find out about his "grandmother" in Kenya that you're referring too (actually his step-grandmother that he has no bilogical relation to other than she was married to his dad who he met once in his life). Learn your facts before making ignorant and un-educated statements.

LOL… "Obama pitches himself to women"… ummm, think you might want to re-word that headline? Or were you trying to make it sound comical?

EVERYBODY SING~~~~~~~~~~~the party's over…….literally!
GO OBAMA!!!!!!

WASP!!! WomenAgainstSarahPalin

This Hillary supporter is supporting McCain – and I'm in CO – we may look purple, but come November we'll be RED!!!!

Sorry, I can't vote for a Republican this year. I'm voting for OBAMA…the SANE choice!

All I have to say is ANY woman who votes for Palin/McCain gets what they deserve. I hope their sons and daughters come home feet first.
———————————————————————————————–

I'm for Obama but this is below the belt. I don't wish this on anyone. If you vote for McCain and Palin, I will PRAY harder for your sons and daughters.

YOU SAY 18 MILLION VOTED FOR OBAMA HELL 30 MILLION VOTED FOR BUSH THINK ABOUT IT GIRLS…………BOTH OF THOSE ARE VERY SCARY……..AND THEN THERE IS HILLARY…………..WAAA…WAAA…WAAAAAA…………

I'm a white, educated, older female from Ohio. ONLY OBAMA in '08!

I am a women who doesn't make even one hundred thousand a year with 5 boys to support and I will not be voting for Obama. I don't believe he has my best interest at heart nor that of my family. I want to take care of my family through MY HARD WORK AND INGENUITY, not someone else's. I have great pride in my country but do NOT what my country to take care of me so that I become reliant on a government.

Florida, a toss up! Wow! some people just don't learn. Are they not gluttens for punishment? Socrates, the great philosphy said, "Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on ME!

"Women have made great strides." Since when is having the right to get knocked up and then have insurance or the government pay for an abortion a great stride?

Why does Obama want us all to pity him for coming from a broken home and being black? Why can't he just sell me on his merits?

If Obama is for women, why didn't he pick Hillary Clinton?

I live in a small Indiana town, less than 10,000 people. There are Obama signs all over this town. They are everywhere, in yards, on trees, buildings, everywhere. Three signs on the street I live on and there are only 8 houses on my street.

I have only found one McCain sign. I have yet to talk to one person who plans to vote McCain.

Vote OBAMA….the SANE choice.

its lookin good in ohio were at uc getting young students to register. I register 552 students alone in 5hrs. obama/biden '08

Mr Caverty! You should go see a dentist. You just lost a Mouth-Full…

florida women …………..no freaking way obama you mama………….after he stuck it to hillary………….you really expect women to bend over and take it again………………ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,……………..no way jose…………and obama doesnt even speak spanish and he makes a spanis ad ……………gee i hope the spanish are smarter than that ……………….go anybody but obama and his drama……and iranian brother and osama……….we are ready got his other hussien ……..and that was 3 for 3 on the huessiens……………

Palin's vision is the one she uses to look through a lens and shoot poor, innocent animals. I want someone who will use their vision to move America forward. That person is Barack Obama.

Obama/Biden 08

The Republican rats are rapidly jumping ship.

Why are Obama supporters so bitter? Enough of the name calling. Then as soon as someone challenges Barack, you get even more vicious. Isn't Obama supposed to be uniting people? This is the most divided our country has ever been. Thanks Barack.

A woman's reproductive choice is her's and her's alone. It is nobody else's business. How can anyone support a woman who goes against that?!

GREAT TALKER – THAT OBAMA – very theatrical

MCCAIN/PALIN IS READY TO LEAD

Sarah – I Love you
I love Hillary too

I'm surprised your headline wasn't "Obama thorws himself at Floridian Women" – it would be so much more in keeping with this years coverage!

Eugene,
Call me crazy!! Have you forgotten who is control now….The Democratic congress who got voted in 2006 and promised "CHANGE" How's that CHANGE working for ya?

One woman proudly voting for Senator Obama!

With education, choice, equal pay, health care, and virtually ALL women's issues in his favors, he's the only logical choice!

One can only wonder what women for McCain/Palin are thinking???????????????

Nicole – TX

McCain is not another Bush. He is McCain and he has disagreed on many issues with Bush. McCain was a democrat. You want change (by the way the word is not own by anoyone person) you will get change. People do you're homework, do the research. Then make you decision. Anyone can talk a good game just so they can get what they want. The rich are rich because they strive to excel. Anyone can move forward in life if they really want to instead you sorry people rather get hand outs from the government and stay at the bottom, low, low, low.

MacCain is so old.
out of touch
loks like he have no idea what he's talking about.
and his choice for VP?????????/.
I'm voting Obama/Baden

The Republican Party is in a free-fall. They want another term to bring America to complete. Wake up America!!! Dont give them another chance. What will you tell your children and grandchildren, if you put them back in office and thus are responsible for the mess that they are sure to continue?

If he was for women he would have chosen Hillary as his VP. Obama is an angry black man who hates women ..period. At this time of uncertain problems facing our financial markets, economy and war in the middle east we need experience not a junior senator. Pres. Clinton will endorse McCain for President so Hillary can run in 2012. McCain 2008, Hillary in 2012

Woman are goin to vote for McUnfaithful- -sweeping his first wife under the bus. She stood by him when he was a POW- -but he threw her away when she was in a car accident. Some freakin' hero.
I'm a veteran of the same war — -I've known heroes – -john McCain is not my friend nor is he a hero.

Woman, remain smart VoteObama

Senator Obama doesn't need to do a thing. Just let Sara Palin keep putting her foot in her big, dumb mouth…Most woman can see right through her!

I am a woman and I cannot stand Obama. He turned his back on half the democrats and still expects to win? This is one sweetie whos' vote he will never get. I have no doubt that Michelle controls him like a puppet. He was pathetic when she met him, and he still is. Not all women are as easily fooled as Obama thinks. He has spent more money then McCain on negative ads and then whines about McCains. Go Figure..

It's time to expose the lie that women are being drawn to McCain-Hilton!!

MCSAME HAS NO CLUE

"This isn’t just about politics for me" he lies and poorly so.

Remember the awful things he and his surrogates have said about a number of powerful women during the campaign. Review the news and google search if your memory was erased by Obama-mania.

Green Party – feminism build right in! They don't have to stage events to prove it.

difference between Palin and MCdrill is lipstick

YE GADS! Everytime Obama starts to talk, off goes the TV — what a phony! Steals everyone else's ideas and smooth-talk-regurgitates them as his own. 143 days in the Senate, 19 mos. on the road "pitching" himself — and he wants us to believe he will fix the economy?

What a joke!

This smells…

He refers to women as typical white person, pig and sweetie… not likley he's got their interest at heart.

Only a stark raving mad woman would vote for the team that does not believe that she is capable of managing her own reproductive rights!
McCain and Palin are anti-woman and should rightfully get NO woman's vote!

To the woman from California for Obama. I too believe that if individuals vote for McCain-Palin they deserve whatever they get. However as a retired U.S. military veteran I don't want anyone to come back from overseas feet first. SUPPORT THE TROOPS ALWAYS!!!

obama is the only person to help this country. mcpain will loose

Obama doesn't have to "pitch" himself to women. He merely has to lay out he and Biden's records and their plans and McCain's poor record and lack of plans.. When Palin was asked exactly what policy she had to help empower women she had NO ANSWER.

All CNN talks about are white women: what about black, Hispanic, Oriental and Muslem women.

Where did you figures come from…they certainly don't reflect all polls!!

Palin in her statement to the world about her pregnant teenage daughter said, they were proud of her decision (CHOICE) to keep the child.

Alaska has very liberal abortion laws!!

If the government forces a women to have the child, then the government should be forced to take care of that child, if the parents can not or do not want to raise that child.

Keep this great country of ours a democracy and free, not a socialist, hypocritical nation.

Virginia Navy Veteran for Obama/Biden

McCain is circling the drain.

You won't find more of a Washington insider than John McCain.
The vast majority of Americans are so easily fooled and even more easily led.
OBAMA/BIDEN!

18 MILLION VOTED FOR OBAMA to lead our country. Based on his VISION not his experience.

Comparing Palin's experience to Obama's is not a valid argument.

Sorry, I cant support the Democrats this time around.

IF THIS COUNTRY PUT ANOTHER REPUBLICAN IN THE WHITEHOUSE,THEN THE UNITED STATES DESERVES EVERYTHING THAT COMES TO IT

It looks as if Ohio, Florida, Virginia and possibly Missouri will be deciding this election. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states go with what got them there, or will they step out in a new direction. . . .
GO OBAMA!

I will not vote for this Empty shell.

I am a registered independent and voting for John McCain.

Obama is the choice to take care of our women needs, Mccain is sure out of touch and palin sure does not cut it.

I would hazard a guess that many of the republican women and those leaning towards Senator McCain are married, and typically more financially secure. That's great, and I'm happy for them, But for many of the rest of us, the safety nets just are not there, we're single right out of college, or single moms, or married but working poor, and 'little' things, like having say over our own bodies and our reproductive rights can mean the difference between our families surviving (or not).

I would not ask that you agree with my choice. Only that you allow ME to make it as I will be the one that has to live with ALL of the repercussions.

By not choosing Hillary as his running mate it says it all. You know Hillary the one who got the most votes in the primaries. Her claws come out on her bad days and thinks she's Annie Oakly who's likable enough and has a husband that is a racist. I think Barack Obama has a major problem, The msm has been with him all the way. Those women ahh! What do they want?

Oh no, Florida is a toss-up state again. Remember the "chad" issue?!!? (This is the state that gave us George Bush).

He has my vote

Lady's you better wise up cuz that Bambi shooting ,war mongering sidekick is bs,ing her way into your back yard. She has not been faced in front of the nation and now hidden from the public.
She wants the VP position and yet she hides.
Obama knows more about women and thier problems in this world than Palin based on his upbringing.
He has three women in his family and is reaching out to you. Give him your support and it will be better for you

I love Barack Obama. I'm a full fledged Hillary supporter and feel she was dealt from an uneven deck, but oh my, to think that a hHillary supporter would vote for John Mccain I just can't understand. That's contrary to everything we have worked toward. What's the sense in that?

Barack has stepped up and met us half-way. I strongly feel that Hillary Clinton will play a significant role in the Democratic party and in an Obama administration, she will be as powerful as Nancy, and Joe, and Harry. I believe that with all my heart. I hope I'm not abused of that notion.

Hillary voter for Obama/Biden. Yes we can! (I pray and will work for…)

WOMEN WHO DON'T HAVE $100 MILLION DOLLARS OR AS LITTLE AS $5 MILLION TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES WILL VOTE OBAMA. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO MAKE THE MORE THAN RICH RICHER WHILE WE ARE STRUGGLING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR FAMILIES MOST BASIC NEEDS.

I don't buy that survey. No sincere Hillary Democrat will be swayed by the lies coming from Sarah Palin, for her disregard for womens' issues, for her lack of caring for her family (where is her precious baby while she and Todd are playing celebrity?) by her non-answers to simple questions, and now by her refusal to cooperate with what she said was a groundless investigation. We may be the same gender as she is, but the similarities stop there. We're tired of the blame games, the feeling that someone is above the law, and the willingness to bomb a perceived enemy. All wrong for America.

He can talk the talk, but women in Obama's senatorial offices make eight or nine thousand less than a year their male counterparts, while the women in McCain's senatorial offices actually are making about two or three thousand more a year than the men there.

These are facts, not opinions, and they do not support Obama's rhetoric.

Besides the fact that he blew his first big decision by not picking Hillary Clinton. For this, I have labeled him Barack Obrainless. And that is an opinion, albeit one that will be proven correct if he blows what should have been an easy win.

You can't Mister! You failed every: Woman on the Planet! You walked away from #1? Women…. What does a Women have to do, just to be recognised?? I Promised my little one; 29yrs ago.Now I have another! Both Females. But this one is a "Grand-Daughter. Women will be recognised one day!!! Why not now???

The American people get exactly what they vote for. If you like the way things are today, then for for McCain. If you support change, vote for Obama. remember, don't complain if you suffer another 4 year. you voted for more of the same!

i agree , mcsame picked pittbull for politcal purpose. not because he cares for women, but because he wants women votes. and we know that.

women would be crazy if they vote for a republican,look what we are going thru,my uncle informed me this morning that he has lost 50% of his pension because of this,am so sick in tired of these republicans who have to us down to the gutter,and am so amazed that mccain is still this close,now that is scarey because i dont know if this country can take another republican president,imagine if a democrat was president,the republicans will be calling for the death to the democrats,in the media will be doing the same,just like when 911 happend,the republicans came out of that as heroes,if clinton would have been president when 911 happened it would have destroyed the democratic party

48 year old white Rural Pennsylvania woman for Obama……..Hillary was my girl, but I am supporting Obama….how can you not vote for him if you Supported Hillary Clinton……….he's our chance for a better America…………he's our next best hope to clean up the mess of the past 8 years and protect our rights to have a choice

McShame and Scary Palin, they scare the hell out of me……they want to dictate what choices you can have if ANY and they consistantly LIE…….most of what they say is not a fact only their distorted versions……
Obama/Biden 08

Women have made such progress over the years! Government should not tell a woman what to do and it should not be inforced!(republicans). With so many people dying of STD's and HIV in this country and the world, what intelligent person would take the risk and oppose sex education. The world has changed so drastically! It's all about having common sense and helping to educate the world and our children as parents. Knowing the number of deaths that are occuring and pregnacies that are occuring, people should be more willing to educate others about all of the risks. As a parent, I would not want my young son having children at an early age. I would feel more secure knowing that there are resources out there that can be use to prevent unwanted pregancies and STD's as well as the killer, "HIV"

All I have to say is ANY woman who votes for Palin/McCain gets what they deserve. I hope their sons and daughters come home feet first.

Notice how McCain looks more and more confused.

This woman is not impressed with Obama. I guess you could say that I am bitter, in the words of Mr Obama. I plan on voting for Mr McCain. He understand ordinary Pennsylvanians and Americans.

Just got done visiting with my accountant. We both agree that a "Crash" of Wall Street is coming. Bush and the boys cleaned our retirements and 401K's out. They're going to waltz out of the WhiteHouse and leave someone else to clean up their mess.
What gets me is the number of people willing to elect the Party that got us where we are at today. We deserve everything that will be coming to us. My advise, stuff all your money in an old sock and bury it in the backyard. At least you'll be left with something!
We ARE dumb!

The secret to Democratic success can be summed up in one word: turnout. The GOP does really well because Republicans, by and large, always vote. The turnout rate usually runs anyhwere between 75 – 85% turnout of registered republicans. Dems tend to show up around 50-60% of the time. There are always more registered Dems than Repubs. Dems: you wanna win this one? Show up and vote.

So let me get this straight. A majority of white women are supporting McCain over Obama? I find that hard to believe. Where are you doing the polling, Utah and Arizona?

Thank you, President Obama.

Is Hillary hiding? Where is she? And why is Hillary scared of Pailn? I want to hear from Hillary, where are you?

this statement is major, "Change means a president who will stand up for choice, who understands that five men on the supreme court don’t know better than women and their families and their doctors about what’s best for their health,” he said. “I will never back down from defending a woman’s right to choose.”

that's how i want my leader to talk, i dont know about you…

McCain is a POW… is a maverick… invented the dingleberry…

Since apparently it is not newsworthy to enough media outlets…NOW has endorsed Obama/ Biden '08…Please read AND SHARE…

National Organization for Women PAC Endorses Obama-Biden

STATEMENT OF KIM GANDY
Chair, National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC)

September 16, 2008

It is with great enthusiasm that I announce today, on behalf of the nation's oldest and largest women's rights organization, that the National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) proudly endorses Sen. Barack Obama for President of the United States.

It is no coincidence that I am joined in this announcement by so many allied organizations that collectively represent a broad and diverse cross-section of U.S. women. From teachers to social workers, from business owners to college students, women in this country are lining up behind the candidate who is out there every day standing up — clearly and consistently — for women. Women of all ages, races and ethnicities are coming together in support of Sen. Obama and his pledge to fulfill this country's promise of equal opportunity for our daughters as well as all our sons.

Although it is very unusual for us to endorse in a presidential election, this is an unprecedented candidate and an unprecedented time for our country. The NOW PAC reviewed Sen. Obama's record and public statements on issues that disproportionately affect the women of this nation, and I spoke with him at length about his commitment to women's equality. For example:

On pay equity. Sen. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation to end wage discrimination against women.

On reproductive rights. Sen. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Prevention First Act, to strengthen access to contraception and reproductive health care, and prevent unwanted pregnancies. He strongly supports Roe v. Wade and will oppose any efforts to overturn it.

On violence against women. Sen. Obama supports the continued reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act — of which Sen. Joe Biden is the chief sponsor — as well as the Security and Financial Empowerment (SAFE) Act, which is legislation to provide legal, medical and financial support to victims of domestic violence.

On the Supreme Court. Sen. Obama opposed the nominations of George Bush's extreme right-wing nominees to the Supreme Court, who have consistently ruled against women's rights,

For more than a decade, Barack Obama has said "yes" to women's rights, while John McCain has consistently said "no" – NO to pay equity, NO to contraceptive access and reproductive rights, NO to appointing Supreme Court judges who will uphold women's rights and civil rights, NO to funding shelters and other anti-violence programs, and NO to supporting working moms and dads with policies that support work/life balance.

NOW supported Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary, and now we join with her in saying "NO" — No Way, No How, No McCain! And we proudly stand arm-in-arm with her in putting our hopes and our dreams, our hard work and our hard-earned money, behind the next President of the United States — Barack Obama, and his running mate, longtime friend and ally of women, Sen. Joe Biden.

Obama/ Biden '08 !!!

Obama\Biden 08—There is nothing else to say.

Obama dosen't just need womens votes, CNN you always spinning something, hell he needs every vote every last vote. And where is Hillary she is kinda making me mad, I like Bill and Hillary but there not doing anything to help their party, forget about Obama help your party. And where is that big mouth Geraldine from California, I don't hear anything about them anymore and the election is Nov 4th. Democrat women get off your _sses! Its been time to speak out and talk about the issues that women are facing and that Pailn wont do anything about.

Obama if you support equal pay, why do the women working on your campaign early 83 cents for every dollar a man earns? (FYI it's $1.03 for McCain staffers). If you cared about the women why did you run a sexists campaign against Hillary. If you respect women why did you belittle Governor Palin dissing her as a small town Mayor after she was announced and failing to acknowledge she is Governor of a state. Your actions speak much louder than your words!

Obama knows what women want……NOT!
Every speech Obama gives he has to Bash McCain. If his message is what he thinks we want to hear, then he should stick to that and give us credit to make our own decision. His same old lines against McCain is getting very tired.

Its about time Obama got out there and started working to earn our votes! Hillary is my candidate and will always be. Palin is certainly no Hillary, but at least McCain had the guts to pick a women for the job. It still bothers many of us women that Obama let his arrogance and pride get in the way to picking HIllary as VP. I still remember very clearly many of the condescending things he himself said directly to Hillary such as "… I can win your supoporters, but you cannot win mine." Very sexist and racist! His arrogance got in t he way of sound judgment- we have had more than enough of that with Bush , so I am not yet sold on Obama but at least he's FINALLY making an effort.

Obama has had one wife that he loves, and two beautiful children.

Joe Biden lost his first wife ina terrible car accident, along with his daughter. He remarried and has a loving relationship with his family.

John McCain left his first wife for a prettier, wealthier one as soon as he realized he could slide right into politics after Vietnam. He doesn't bring her up and has never apologized for what he did.

As a woman Obama is our ONLY choice this year. The alternative is scary for me and my daughters.

Obama's wasting his time. Real 'Merican wimmen eat raw moosemeat, breed pitbulls and call their husband "dood".

USA USA USA!!!!!!

CNN,

Why add the last paragraph? Why not report the news and stop stirring things up. He didn't mention his grandmother in Kenya at all. What should we take away from that??

I'm running out of reasons why anyone who vote for McCain, Iwpn't mention the "elephant". Unless it's:

1. Obsession with his POW story, want to hear it again and again.

2. Thinks he's hot, can't wait to hear him do the state of the union.

3. Likes the uncertainty of his memory, he's so unpredictable.

4.Keep hearing about that explosive temper and would like to see it in action—given 4 years at the white house something is bound to set him off.

5.Palin's voice is like nails on a chalkboard, love that sound!

6. Can make a killing in vegas betting which way he'll flip or flop.

Somebody help me please, I'm sure I forgot something.

Women for Obama rally was great to see American rally for Obama ….Florida women are awesome they was there for Obama all different cultures of women for Obama

Women for Obama/Biden

Very Smart!

I will proudly vote for Obama in November !!!
