If McCain loses, it will be because of reverse racism.

I never thought I'd be for Obama after what he and Dean did to Hillary Clinton.

Well, I'm not for Obama, but McCain is a self-proclaimed Know-Nothing when it comes to economics.

Maybe we should vote for the lesser of the two evils: OBAMA.

I hate that. I've been doing it most of my life. But I may have to.

Yea, can't wait for Obama to bite it at these debates…Check out the polls after Friday. He has ZERO substance. After all the dems have done (or in our case not done) in our state..Michigan is going red, just wait.

McCain/Palin 2008

I tell you, all you here Obama say is we need a plan to keep your jobs here and not have them go overseas. (Stop talking and tell us the plan). This has been the talk for all parties for years. The people are tired of talk. Did you know that the American govt provides tax breaks for all companies to manufacture goods overseas and re-import them for free into the US. If they want jobs to stay then stop the tax breaks for large corps. This is left overs from the car industry.

Good News!

People are finally beginning to realize that Barack Obama is the last remaining politician we can trust.

By the time the debates are concluded, Obama/Biden will be ahead in most of the poles and they will win all the batleground states. None of the poles consider the fact that there are over 20,000, 000 new voters. They will give the Democrtic ticket the most votes and biggest win since Johnson….400 electoral votes for OBama/Biden!!!!

I have the perfect solution for those who want vote for Barack Obama, because of race. Just image when you go to the polls. You have heard both candidate speak and they are both black or both white. Now make your decision. God help us all.

A couple of days ago CNN reported that battleground states were a toss up – now Obama is ahead – obviously, this election is teeter-tottering from day to day and CNN will always report the advantage to Obama. With all the aiding and abetting Obama has gotten from the media, from Hollywood, from Oprah W, The View and every other promotional outlet, if he loses, he truely will be a loser. McCain really is the underdog – but McCain will turn out to be one of the best President's this country has seen – why? Because he has the maveric reputation to live up to and contrary to all the ageist attitudes, jokes and marginalizing comments – his age will actually motivate him to leave a lasting Presidential legacy that will better this country. He knows it. Obama, on the other hand, who is very inexperienced and full mostly of himself instead of leadership qualities, will spend 4 years trying to find his way and then blame everything that goes wrong on the Bush years.

Go Obama/Biden!
I have faith that PA, VA & OH will all be Blue!!!!!!!

Obama Baby, you are a good public speaker, but you are also the most liberal candidate that is the product of Chicago Southside Political Machine which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system and I don"t want you anywhere near the Oval Office…have a nice day.

To all the brainwashed republicans and independents out there that keep saying Obama doesn't have a plan…..please go to his website or listen to him speak instead of just spewing out of your mouths. Obama has very clear plans on what to do. They're all outlined right in front of you people. Besides, you can't knock a guy that wants to think about some answers before just shouting them out and regretting them later like McShame. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid!

Like sheep to the slaughter all you Obama-heads. This guy couldn't find he own rear end with both hands and a flashlight, hence his need to vote "Present" 193 times in the state legislature and to have ZERO response to the crisis last week except to say
"I'll get back to you later." It's a cult of personality, people. God help us if he's elected but if he is, you will see soon enough that there is ZERO substance.

McCain/Palin '08

I don't know how MN fits in this mix. All I've seen is Obama yard signs, and bumper stickers. I've not seen ONE McCain yard sign. MN loves Obama. Polls lie. Obama troops on the ground here!

Go Obama!

If this "Poll of Poll" includes polls by Fox, 3 percentage points should be added to Obama. lol.

Prior to the Hover administration, the Republican Party did not deny that they ran up the deficit because it was the easiest way to transfer money from the poor to the wealthy – the quickest way to run up the deficit is WAR. The same rules apply in the party today, however it's no longer PC for the party to admit to this outright. If this type of administration continues to rule, this crisis, panic, depression, recession, what ever they choose to call it will only get worse. It will get worse anyway, but how long it will last is up to the people on Nov 4th.

People that like Obama are weak-minded sheep that like to screamed at, talked down to, chastised, scolded, and told that their country is no good.

What? A positive comment about Obama? Thank you, CNN!

I really really really hope Obama wins, because it is the only chance our country has to survive the current mess. It looks like the reality of the financial crisis has snapped some voters back to reality, although I still don't believe polls are very reliable.

Obama will not win… His fake speeches won`t carry him around this time around… It worked against hillary but it won`t against mccain… He is food for the republican party…. Dems have no one to blame but themselves… Hillary was the clear choice

Polls are what you're feeling NOW. In Nov, I'll be feeling Obama!

As long as there is an electoral college, my vote doesn't count. If you are in a key state, your vote is worth far more than mine. This is not a country of "one man, one vote." If it were, we never would have had George W. Bush as our president. Hmmm… I wonder what would have happened if this really were a democracy.

This morning somebody from CNN put up a factcheck on Obama's ad. Apparently that angered a liberal supervisor there at CNN so you guys took it down. Please stop claiming to be a fair and balance network if you do not act like it.

these polls prove only one thing: anyone, supporting either campaign, who says the election will be a landslide has no grip on reality. chances are half the swing states will go to obama and half to mccain. what matters is which states and how many electoral delegates.

If CNN cannot continue to keep the polls close, No One will pay attention to them.

McCain says country first. If he really meant it …he would endorse Obama. He has flip-flopped every day this past week. He is not putting his country first, he is just trying to get votes. If he can lie to us in his campaign, will he be honest in the White House? Just more of the same Bush/Cheney .

Well … with CNN's top four stories BASHING McCain and Palin … do we believe ANY POLL that you conduct?

Obama offers NOTHING to alleviate the current crisis … just Jimmy Carter style, grin and bear it, worse before it gets better, take care of your brother, gas lines, big taxes, big government, weak military, dark days ahead … he better get his sweater ready!

Don't forget the Northwest millions are cheering Obama here! CNN please put Michigan and Wisconsin into the leaning Obama they've been leaning his way for along time!
Northwest for change we can trust Obama/Biden

Because he has SOLUTIONS, not just blame for the other guy.

What puzzles me most is the number of undecided and swinging voters. How could any rational person be uncertain between candidates whose positions in every major issue is so different. That goes to show how millions of people vote based on personalities.

Ever notice that when the results of any Fox "News" polls are factored in, the race is very close? Without that "unbiased" poll, Obama is far ahead!

The current economic crisis favors Obama's election, even if some voters feel uncomfortable with his name, mixed-race identity, family story, African-American wife, Chicago background, etc.

Why? Some reasons include: 1) McCain admits he knows little about economics (and it shows, Palin too is ignorant of the subject); 2) McCain has consistently opposed regulation of industries; 3) McCain has been in Congress for 26 years and is identified with failed Buch/Cheney policies; 4) McCain closest advisor Phil Gramm authored the loosening of regulations that produced the current mess!

One car, one house, one spouse! No third term for Bush/Cheney/McCain/Palin and Gramm!

Obama will rewrite the electoral map and win this thing in a landslide.

Honestly, can Obama address a crowd without his Telepromter? Its always Teleprompter left….Teleprompter right. Always….

Hey Enomisa,

Obama has done nothing but spell out his economic plan over and over and over. McCain however, has basically said he will not give any details of his until after the election.

Actually Obama does have an economic plan. One of which includes investing in renewable energy which can bring 10 million new jobs to the U.S. You need to look no further than the Gameda Wind Turbine Plant in Fairless Hills, PA outside of Philly. Hundreds of new jobs, alternative energy, and clean.

I think a lot of Republicans like to speak without thinking. Either that or instead of researching on their own they want Rush Limbaugh or Fox News to tell them.

I say a lot because while the majority, not all of them are this simple minded and there are a few who have looked up the issues and realized that Obama is the right candidate.

Obama/Biden '08

It seems to me that the American people see that this is not about personality but the issues at hand – we are voting in the entire democratic party – not one man or one race or one religion – this is a make or break election for our country the democratic party led by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all the others will have to pull us out of this mess we have found ourselves in. So let's keep HOPE up!!

For those who claim that Obama has no credentials, and never discusses ideas and solutions for America's problems – Well either you just are not listening to him or you do not have the mental capacity to comprehend what he is saying.

Is it just me, or has the Republican campaign degenerated into blatantly trying to project their own worst flaws onto their opponent, while at the same time trying to claim their opponent's positive messages for themselves? These "I-know-you-are-but-what-am-I?" playground politics are quickly reaching the point of absurdity. I'm still trying to decide if the Republican campaign strategy is pathetically childish or absolutely brilliant, as it appears to be quite effective on almost half of our population. In addition to having a minimum age limit for voting in this country, I think we should institute a minimum intelligence limit for voting as well – preferably somewhere above the "playground" comprehension level.

It's all well and good that early voters have cast their votes, but what about the majority of the voters that vote on election day? Our "good" Republican Governor for the state of Florida has made it official now–yup, it law. If your Drivers License Address does not match the Address on your Voters Registration Card, You will NOT be Permitted to Vote. What? It looks like they're trying to screw up the thousands of college students that are away, new residents that have recently moved to our state, and people who are oblivious to this fact. My mother was registered in 2004, and now she's received new registration papers. These states are crucial, and I have not heard anything mentioned on our local news stations about this new law. I hope that everyone who wants to vote this election year will have a chance to do so. We don't need excuses like, we didn't have enough volunteers, or the lines were too long. We need to plan accordingly in every state so that everyone can have a chance to become a part of history.

Eight years of unpopular republican rule of cronyism, deceit, lies, and corruption the republican voters have not learned the lesson If they want the same of everything of Bush policy including sending their loved ones in harms way to the illegal Iraq war, let them have it.
Support Obama/Biden 08

A NY Times article about cell phone use by those under 34 confirmed my criticism of polls which are conducted via land line. The polls fail to include the wired college and college-educated generation who are Obama's mainstay. I would add another 2-3 points for him in the polls in every state, tipping the scales in key areas.

Polls, polls, polls. Bah.

The only poll that counts will be on Nov 4.

The change the Obama fans will believe in, is how they wish they could change their votes if Obama does win the White House and they see their taxes go up. Just how do you think he plans on paying for his health care plan for anyone whose in this country.. legal and illegals?

I'm from Minnesota and there isn't anyone I know voting for McCain. these polls are wrong.

Keep the awakening going America! Barack Obama is the leader for the future! John McCain is a recycled George Bush and McCain continues to lie to the American people!

how is this news…Obama has been ahead in these states the past four months…what about ohio, florida, and colorado those states will decide election.

Unless people can put aside the fact Obama is half black, and remember he is also half WHITE, Obama "could" be in for hard time winning..for those who didnt live in depression years, we did, and it wasnt very pretty..many committed suicide, or simply couldnt survive because of continuing cirumstances, long bread lines, shortages of every thing..does this scare you ?? No ?? well, sure scares me..my life is pretty much over, but, I fear greatly for my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren..and if you dont , you should !!! Be very afraid now..vote for good sense, good judgement, the one who surrounds him self with "wise" people to help him in areas he is not knowledgible..we now have to vote for Obama..he stays cool, uses GOOD judgement..
afraid for our family….

I predict a landslide for Obama!!

Hi:

Can CNN explain why/how its Poll of Polls does not carry a margin of error?

The polls seem to go up and down, when CNN dosen't have any juicy gossip. But I just hope Obama supporters are registered to votem time is running out. So get as much people that you know that can vote to register and vote.

Remember if your a teenager and you will turn 18 by Nov 4th you can vote this year. So hurry up and get ready!!!

I think that those holding back or being negative(democrats,independents and anyone else) because of Obama being African-American need a history lesson and rude awakening!!! This race of people were forced to come here and have contributed immensely to inventions and innovations that we ALL enjoy ,and make our everyday lives easier, more efficient,safer and comfortable.From the poor to the rich all of us!! Some were brilliant ,others were just average Black people trying to make a difference.Why can't we get over skin color and other things that makes us hate,despise and not care about understanding ,and respecting someone or something different from what we are used to,or know about. Obama is an American just as they are!!

I am so happy that Obama is really gaining in the polls,,,,McCain and Palin doest not represent American value for all American

Obama/Biden 08

We Americans have no options.Lest go and vote for our future.It`s so scary just to think that Mcain and Palin can take us to a road of the final destruction of our country whatever is left after Cheny and Bush catastrophic job.Hard to think that after eight years of this tragic manipulation of our Constitution there are people that still want to continue this destruction .I just have to say that I feel so sorry for them

Why this election is even close is beyond me!
McCain/Palin are already lying to the American people (in speeches and ads), and acting above the law (Palin's refusal to participate in the ethics probe in Alaska), not to mention Palin hiding government correspondence in private email accounts. How foolish do we have to be to elect clones of Bush/Cheney?

Pennsylvania will go for McCain. Now Philadephia the city of brotherly love with a murder rate to match chicago and predominately black and left wing liberal will go for Obama. The rest of pennsylvania will go for McCain / Palin. I figure this is were CNN had the poll conducted . This is not news CNN always puts Obama up no matter if all the other polls put McCain in a deadheat or ahead. As far as Iowa , in the grand scheme of things they are irrevelant except in the democrat party's primarys. But that will change after this election year. They might go Obama because of him and the democrats wanting to push corn as Bio- fuel. Kind of flys in the face of the liberals wanting to use corn as Bio- fuel while the brethern in Africa or starving to death more now due to the shortage. Of course who can figure out them warm hearted liberals.Iowa better hopes Obama wins . That subsidized corn crop payed for by the american taxpayer is history if John McCain wins.

Don't worry folks, Minnesota is going to Obama. it's a fact

I think one thing that these polls probably do not take accurate account for is the amount of young voters that will be voting this election.

Obama is a thinking man and I believe his reaction to the financial crisis shows that he is not going to jump out and make comments until he has all the facts. Unlike McCain who says on Mon. that there is no crisis and then continues to flip flop all week or like Palin who actually says nothing that hasn't been scripted for her. And her foreign policy experience and diplomacy are nothing short of frightening! If she were to become president we would be looking at someone who would set this country back 20 years.

As far as what the Canadian person has to say, I agree. Lack of knowledge is often what drives the conservatives–that and fear.

No problem we all know what happens when the teleprompter is not allowed at the debates. UM AH AH UM AH UM UMMMMM I would have to say that is above my pay grade.

Hillary cleaned him up during the debates as well as McCain will.

Obama and the Democrats just don't get it! I don't believe the sky is falling–the best regulation is PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY– let these companies fail, I am confident someone else will step up and take their place, someone that has learned from their mistakes and knows if they screw up,the same will happen to them. For 15 years I took care of Mentally Retarded Adults, and even they were capable of understanding that for every action there is a consequence, and that they were ultimately responsible for their outcome.Why can't these highly educated, supposedly intelligent people get it?

Decision Taker..

you are either ill informed, or flat out lying.

Obama presented a 6 point plan IMMEDIATELY after the crises began.

you either don't know, or are CHOOSING not to know because you don't WANT to know anything from or about Obama.

I'd like to hear McCain explain the point at which he went from deregulator to pro-oversight. Especially since he wants to deregulate healthcare.

It seems like some of the main stream medias are getting a little nervous and starting to take their rolls in the future of America a little more serious. They are now reporting on some of the facts instead of gossip type commentary.

Hopefully all the media will take their rolls in this election as a reflection on their concern for the future of the U.S. and keep reporting on the McCain/Palin lies and past failures and then the bulk of the population will get behind turning their country in the right direction for the future of themselves and their children.

This poll was posted at 12:37 wait until 1:37, and we will have a totally different one. Who is following these polls.

With 40% of the white population in this country viewing blacks as lazy and violent according to an AP poll just taken, Obama is going to win how? Whites will join in the conversation at the "cooler" with their mixed working peers and talk up Obama so as not to be viewed as small minded, tell the pollster they'll vote for Obama because they feel uncomfortable being perceived as a racist to this stranger on the phone, but when is all is said and done and they're in the privacy of the voting booth they'll vote for Senator McCain. In approximately the year 2050 it's projected that whites will no longer be in the majority in this country; at that time a black may want to try and run for the presidency. Not before.

McCain is ahead in Ohio and Florida.
As I recall, those are pretty important.

Actually, Obama's economic plan is more thoroughly detailed than McCain's. Why don't you take a look at BOTH websites. I did. I want to make an INFORMED decision. I have a child who was born with a "pre-existing" condition. I would like to keep my employer subsidized healthcare. Thanks, but no thanks to John McCain and his healthcare plan to nowhere!!!

The Democratic Congress is responsible for the economy.

Now that a plan is in place to fix the problems, the Democrats wnat to add PORK in the form of social programs.

Barack Obama is a socialist who believes that those who have worked hard ought to have to pay for social hand out programs for those who will not work.

It's funny to me how if Obama has a 3% margin over McCain it's a "slim" lead, but when McCain has a 3% margin over Obama, McCain is leading in the polls.

There is only one poll that matters: The final vote tally.

Please exercise your right to vote in November and weigh the issues before you and how each candidate plans to address them. Look carefully at their voting history and consult fact checking web sites before you vote: Judge on their merit, not their skin color.

Obama got $125K from Fannie/ Freddie contributions.

2 of his top aides are ex Fannie/Freddie CEO's and one made $90M
in 2 years.

In 2005, McCain co-sponsored a bill to reform Fannie/Freddie.
It was voted down by the Democrats.

Wonder why CNN doesn't want to report this?

Pretty sure that Minnesota poll is crap. Most of the ones I've seen are for Obama by at least 7 points.
If that state turns red, in this, of all elections, I think the entire earth will implode.

My optimism for Sen. Obama will be guarded. The blue state of NY is begining to lose a little tint and I hope it will not continue to fade. There is a rumor going around that people whose homes are foreclosed; parents behind in child support, etc. are being dissuaded from registering by Republicans. This is unblievable.

TO JUDE:

You are right and I am tired of commentators sitting around saying "why can't he close the deal"? There are people out there who will not vote for a Black man under any circumstances but the commentators don't like to say this.

It is race to see if educated, well-informed people well outweigh the ignorant base of the Republican Party

McSame will loose big…
He is the dead of the senate finance committee and did nothing to prevent this financail mess…
Now he lies, lies and lies…
Too late McSame, you can try in 2012 if you're still alive

McCain supported and helped enact legislation in 1999 that deregulated much of the financial industry, which directly led to the Recession seen during the start of GWB's first term.

McCain supported. and thank God failed, to enact legislation to privatize Social Security through investments on Wall Street. Celebrate, it failed.

If Obama wins one of Ohio or Florida this is going to be landslide!

We need an honest President in the White House this time around. And after listening to both sides, must say, Obama/Biden are the better choice. It would be great for this country and the world if they win.

I also agree with Dennis Kucinich; Wake Up America! I truly believe that the majority of Americans are coming out of this 8 year nightmare.

The sad thing is that there is so much noise we can't hear the candidates speak. Millions and millions of dollars are being spent in this campaign in order to persuade the tiniest slice of the population that didn't have its mind already set in stone due to the silliest things: one guy is dark, the other guy is old; one guy got real estate advice from a crook; the other guy went on vacation several times with a big-time swindler.

Most people not only made up their minds based on froth, they are willing (like "enormisa" 12:46 pm) to believe without understanding and convince others by resorting to falsely portraying the candidates.

Please, folks, watch the debates with an open mind. Better yet, go to the Web sites and read the policy papers. You might learn something.

Lately, I have been mocking the POLL OF POLLS. Some of you might have seen it. It reads like a holy prayer being sent up to THE POLL OF POLLS I think that it is the only comment posted that requests the reader to read the comment out loud in a British accent.
I would like to take this time to intellegently explain why I make fun of THE POLL OF POLLS.
There was a time when who ever was leading in the polls is the one who won the election. That has not been the case since Bush. The polls had Gore winning and look what happened there. Ever since Bush, POLLS MEAN NOTHING. They have absolutely no more weight and they are not to be trusted.

People keep saying that Obama should be scared because the Blue states are so close but should it not worry the McCain campaign that so many traditional Red states are so close? Virginia is a toss up? Do you know how long it has been Red? North Carolina and Indiana? Wow.

For those that keep spouting BS about Obama not having a plan, you must also be computer illiterate like your erstwhile leader.
Go to his website, do a little reading, pull up some of the speech excerpts and educate yourself at least a little before simply repeating talking points.
Obama may not be the kind of person you like (for whatever reason you might have), but you must acknowledge that he is smart, has ideas, has plans and has real hope for this country. It is all right there – I dare all of you to get just a little smarter and better informed.

Woaw, is it that CNN finally recognizes the emmergency situation were in now, after last weeks financial fiasco ??
It truly is about country first and the medias are waking up to the need of a true "Savior" no more of the same Old Marshall and his posse, who doesn't know how many houses he owns,
how many cars he drives
how many wars he's engaged in…Need i say more , huh ?

CNN show me you can do it !

He leads even with all of the lies that mccain is telling.
Just saw tucker bounds argue with factcheck about Obamas tax cuts
I am beginning to believe that they actually believe their own lies.
Iam still voting for the green men because I dont see in black and
white. I vote for my children and grandchildren and my family who dont
have health care or child care. I vote for the future not the past of with
all of it bias and hatefulness. mccain is scary and lies with a straight face even about his own policies and statements he has made.

Obama/Biden 2008 the green men.

YES WE CAN…….YOUPPPPIIIIIIII

The only way to make sure the election isn't fixed is to have overwhelming voter turnout.

Though even still the GOP can pull Miami-Dade dirty tricks.

COMING TO A THEATER NEAR YOU…. obamacrimes.com…..check it out….OBAMA HAS TO PRACTICE UP ON HIS FOREIGN POLICY EXPERIENCE… he has a proxy sitting in for MC CAIN so IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ESCAPE THIS DEBATE THIS FRIDAY…….. let freedom ring NO TELEPROMPTER . JUST FACTS… can't wait to see that one valid birth certificate……..still waiting

Title on web page Chicago machine blasted has nothing to do with story. Who set the title???? Can he read??????

At least McCain said he feels unconfortable about having only one man in charge of all that money and wants someone to oversee him to make sure the money goes out where it should Obmaha will comment later when he knows what the congress is going to do I guess… we dont need someone who cant stand on his own two feet we need someone who can come up with a solution….saying present doesnt cut it…..what doesnt he get about saying present….like everyone said hes just a talker not a doer McCain/Palin

After all this trauma on ECONOMY if still some people think about voting Mccain, then I fell sorry for them. How many years of your life you want to loss with people like Bush. Shame on those so called republican. Stand up for the future of our next generation.

Anyone who says landslide (on either side) is delusional. It will be one close state to decide it. McCain just needs to hold Bush states (minus Iowa) which he is in position to do. If he loses two more (New Mexico and Colorado?) he just needs to pick up a Kerry State. Seen the polls in Minnesota, Michigan or Pennsylvania lately? All three VERY close.

Obama is going to lose 3-5 percent from the polls due to black candidates polling higher than reality. Don’t you libs remember the primaries…Obama constantly finished under the poll numbers.

Someone wake up McCain and remind him he is the Republican candidate,not Obama. After three decades in Washington, 90% concordance with Bush votes, he can hardly blame Obama for the Republican mess.
And by the way, he needs a new verb, like encourage or lead or talk or negotiate or advise or plan or … something other than 'fight' all the time.

I couldnt believe any better the lady that said Mcacain and Palin cant run a corporation cos its obvious. Cant keep one opinion on the crisis. Flip flopping and blaming Obama for not saying anything. Smart people think deeply b4 jumping to conclusion.

Attention Dem Bloggers: No one cares anymore if you blame racism on Obama's loss. That excuse is getting old and no one cares anymore! If this country is so racist, Obama wouldn't be running for President period! When he loses, he will lose for a huge variety of reasons. Never have we had a candidate with such small credentials. Obama wouldn't even get past the first interview if he were attempting to get a job. This inconsequential resume along with his nasty friends and colleagues is what will cost Obama the race along with his hate filled fans.

New POLL

MCain trailed Obama by 12 cars in,MN, and by 6 houses in, OH.

with zero margine of error

@ JOE KILOZ

That's exactly what I fear is going to get McCain elected. It worked the last two times, why not a third? Wake up and smell the corruption, people.

Obama/Biden '08

Margin of error = newly registered voters and cell phone users.

The polls are only reportedly close for higher network ratings.

Landslide is probable

I'm voting Democrat because I believe businesses in America should not be allowed to make profits. Businesses should just break even and give the rest to the government so politicians and bureaucrats can redistribute the money the way they think it should be redistributed.

enomisa,
Doesn't Obama's health care plan beat the socks off of McLames? If you don't agree, you are one of the crazies ruining the country.

Looking so presidental and flanked by an army of so-called

economic experts Sen Obama announced I'll wait for next week

tp criticize someone elses solution; we have none re. bail-out.

Even I an old lady in her eighties understands whats going on.

Remember the Old-fashined butcher shop and the three nail

accounting..? One for the daily cash receipts, a second for the

bills and the third for the bank deposits…If #1 is almost empty and

#3 always empty and # 2 with bills so thick that they are falling off

we, the little people know that the butcher is broke..How come that

Sen Obama and his economic adviser don't get it..

????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Time to get away from the subpoena-dodging republicans.

Time for the constitution to mean something again. Obama/Biden '08

You people are so blindly following Obama it's disturbing. None of you could tell me how's he's qualified. None of you could tell me how his ideas add up to reality. So you hate Bush. Woop-di-doo. Doesn't mean you blindly jump on Obama. He's so far over his head it's ridiculous. I don't care who you vote for, but at least have supporting facts. I haven't seen this kind of blind following since…well…the people I was goign to say aren't so nice and CNN would probably not post this……They'll probably won't post this anyways….It's not pro-Obama.

April, if you make less than 250 grand you don't have to worry about Obama raising your taxes or taking your money. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. If you vote for those lying repugs: Say goodby to your money invested in stocks after McCain privatizes it and let the lobbyist running his campaign gamble it on Wall Street.

McCain is for against regulations and all for secrecy, lies and deception. He'll run this country just like he runs his campaign.

Have you heard of the savings and Loans Keating 5 scandal that McStupid was involved in?

Obama/Biden

It means that people aren't buying the B.S. that Mccain is "change". 26 years in the Senate and voting 95 % of the time with Bush isn't change and thats what people want…..

Hey CNN you have missed one
check this out!
Just released
Rasmussen 09/18 – 09/18 500 LV 52 44 Obama +8

McCain has no economic plan and no understanding of the economy. All he does is give vague answers and dance around the questions…flip flopping depending on what he thinks the voters want to hear. First he's against bailouts. Then he's for them. Then he wants to fire someone he wouldn't have the authority to fire. Then he's sort of against bailouts again, but who can be sure? At least Obama waits until he has information so he can speak intelligently about it, instead of pulling a McCain and shooting off at the mouth in an effort to pander and then finding out he has to backtrack. You can't do that when you're POTUS…it starts wars, gets people killed and ruins the economy.

This election is too crucial for so many people to remain so fickle and so undecisive this late in the campaign.

In light of the gross mismanagement of the economy, the continued engagement is a ridiculously foolishly costly war in the Mid-East and the lack of comprehensive initiatives ventured upon to search for renewable energy independence by the Republicans, this contest should have been a slam-dump for the Democrats.

Which begs the question: Why is this still a race?

Is the electorate that stupid?

Jude,

I agree with you on your comment that it comes down to race. I find it amazing when people reply by saying the only reason blacks are voting for Obama is because he is black. Which I do not think is true. But can not the same be said for whites who vote for McCain because he is white and God forbid a black man makes it into office. I find most of the people that reply to these comments sections so hypocritcal. Please people vote for the right reasons which are because you are tried of Wall Street taking your money and the republicans profiting from it. McCain and Palin have told so many lies what is the truth anymore coming from those two. I am not saying Obama is totally innocent but he is being more truth than other of the republicans. We can not afford to go through another four years of republic rule and blame it on someone else when we don't go our to vote. Please people make the right decision and go out and vote.

Nothing matters until the debates.

We want a centralized government and a planned economy! Yes! Vote Obama!!!!! GIVE US COMMUNISM NOW !!! Take from the rich and give to us poor! Guarantee our jobs! Give us health care managed by our government! Nationalize our oil companies! Set wage and price controls! We want Communism and we want it now! Vote OBAMA!

If either of J. McBama or B. McBama are elected, we the people loose again, hello, folks you are now paying 56% of your income on taxes as of today, both of these Political leaders have said nothing about reducing the size of governement, and if you have been watching in the last month we have now nationalized wall street and banking.
Our founding father's split from England for less, than what we a receiving now. Both of them are full of crap, and will sell us, tell us anything to get elected, and then give us citizens the shaft. I will not vote for either of them, I will not accept the lies, cheating, or stealing again.
I say throw all the tea into the harbor……

TO Independent but Leaning….People are realizing that we need practical experience to lead us through these difficult times– not just untested intellectual theories…….Experience is WHATcaused this MESS

I too feel a landslide perhaps coming – you 18 to 35 year olds , get out there and get registered and VOTE. This is the most important Presidential election in my lifetime and the thoughts of McCain/Palin scare the living hell out of me. The Republicans in the past 8 years have brought this country to the point of ruin and they should not be trusted with another 4 years.

Obama/Biden for America 2008!

McCain's problem is that he continues to offer conflicting views of what he's supposed to represent. He called for deregulation, now he's harping against it. He's calling for transparency, sorry but Obama beat you to it. He's calling for an oversight commision that hovers above the Treasury. Isn't that more regulation? And then he refuses to say where the money is going to come from that's going to solve the debt? If it's not going to come from taxes, then guess what. It's coming from loans from foreign countries, and that doesn't sound like COUNTRY FIRST…

ONE NATION

Are you obamabots on this site really that stupid. do you think it helps racism if you scream it just because someone doesnt want to vote for Obama. I dont trust him or like how arrogant he is. He will never get my vote and its not becuase he's black (i'm all for a great black leader to run this country, just not this one).

McCain/Palin are the real americans who will do everything needed to lead this great nation. You have my vote 100%

Thr Republicans knew what would happen with deregulation,pillaging the American tax payer when they got done after graping us but good.I would rather pay taxes when due than use credit and pay even more later.

Yesterday I talked to an Obama supporter.. and I asked How and Why… he had no answers… he then asked me the same back… I had answers….. Dont speak the rhetoric of anything unless you know how or why.

One more thing… Canada & Great Britain have universal healthcare so for those who think it can't happen. IT CAN! OBAMA CAN! Stay away from the Greed (McCain/Palin) Stick to the man who CAN but doesn't have a ton of houses and cars while his American people are starving. Obama turned down money to help others in need before & I'm sure he will lead the country into the right direction and give us young people a future worldwide!

It's an absolute disgrace the democrats are having to fight for the White House after the past 8 years under Bush. These polls mean nothing…racists out there would lie about their feelings and those will come around in November.

I'm probably not voting – I don' t like Obama's flip-flops (nor his arrogance) when it's convenient for him and I think McCain is too out of touch and I don't care for his policies.

CNN I am still waiting for you to do fact check on Obama's Spanish ad.

Why you only do Fact check when is good for Obama?

Vote on the ISSUES not on "personalities". What direction do you want America to go? More of the same with McBush? McCain voted 90% of the time with Bush, and at the Eleventh Hour try to convince us that he's different than Bush is hoping that us Americans are fools. Are we fools? November 4th will decide that. The world is watching.

CHANGE WE NEED. McCain/Palin NOW!!!! We do not need a crook like OBAMA and the Chicago Mafia running the White House. Current uncertain times we need experience not a community organizer. McCain in 2008 Hillary in 2012

Unfortunately, a 3-point lead or smaller in most polls for Obama probably falls outside of the margin of error.

This favors McCain because of racism in this nation and the cowards who are afraid to be up front about not intending to vote for a man just because of the color of his skin, thus skewing the value of the poll numbers.

This is one of those times that I hope the MSM is dead wrong and there are far fewer ignorant Americans who would rather elect Dumb and Dumber in office than an articulate man who has exemplfied his vision for this nation with uncanny foresight just because his father was a black man.

I truly fear for our nation

I knew that Palin nonsense wouldn't last. She gives me a sense of insincerity. Polished speaker, but too much like a candidate for prom queen for my taste. Time for her to give it up with that cheerleader twinkle thingee.

The country will come to find out that the only experience that either McCain or Palin have is in taking the solutions offered by Obama and copying them.

It is unfortunate to see two people, so utterly incompetent, completely corrupt and historically failures running for the top two positions in our country. It's a mockery of what America stands for. Endorsing a socialist government, in which we give hand outs to big business while screwing the citizens out of their tax dollars is a failed policy.

It's time we wake up and see McCain for what he really is…simply a POW, and nothing else.

Obama/Biden '08

ps: turn your states blue…the time is now…we are the ones that must do it.

I've only owned thirteen cars in my life and I am a babyboomer! This man can and will not care about the average american. Why is it no one mentions his first wife? I wonder if she even owns a car.

Just to get away from the election fray for a different type of thought. Being Canadian and an astute observer of both Canadian and American politics I am arriving at the following conclusion:

In Canada most conservative voters are the less educated and more marginalized people except of course for the very wealthy and elite who also make up this same ideology. This is a funny trend for the marginalized as the conservative policies are the most detrimental to their situations as a whole.

After observing the polling and commentaries in the U.S. electorate it appears to me that the same trend applies here as well.

It would be interesting to see what type of comments will come from my observations whether people think I am off base or on the mark.

NOBAMA!! No experience, No vote. This woman is all for
McCain / Palin '08

Previous Hilary supporter!!

enomisa – you know not what you talk about.

Last week, while McCain said the economy was sound, Obama reiterated AGAIN his 6 point plan to fix the economy.

Maybe you should read about it before you make such a stupid comment!

When one looks at the ground game and outreach of the two campaigns, coupled with the enthusiasm for the person at the top of the ticket, Obama has this race in a landslide. I do not believe that the polls are capturing the real state of the race by any measure. I think that the pollsters are intentionally skewing the results to keep the race percentages close. They also tend to poll people who are more likely to lean Republican (older folks who answer their phone in the evening and are not cell phone only people). We saw during the primaries that the polls were entirely wrong on several occasions. I put my money on the best candidate and say Obama will win the election by a landslide. Responsible citizens realize that we cannot have another Republican administration and expect different results no matter how hard McCain tries to distance himself from his own Party. It is just not believeable and will not win votes. A republican is a republican no matter what cloak he tries to cover himself with and we all know it.

How can this be?

Obama has yet to voice any plans, solutions or suggestions.

He is playing it safe while gutting everyone who is at least trying to come up with a solution…. and Americans are so desperate and scared that they are falling for a promise and a critique.

DEMAND a plan- demand an outline of an actual solution.

Obama has never run a business, a small town, a big town, a small state, a big state, an organization or a department. And he said his judgement alone makes him qualified to run the country on 60 minutes? hmmm, that's a stretch! oh and he also said he has good abilities to get people together and get things done..aka, bipartisanship for progress. hmmmm, now that's a biggie stretch! for a man who has ZERO record of working with the other party to get things done for the people and the country!

More of the same from John McShame

John McLame says, “I don’t know much about the economy, I still need to be educated”

“It would be acceptable if we had to stay in Iraq for another 100 years.”

We need to “bomb, bomb, and bomb Iran”

“I have voted with Bush 90% of the time because he has been right 90% of the time”

Sarah Failin says,
“I have foreign policy experience because you can see Russia from Alaska and I went to Mexico on vacation once.”

“I welcome any investigation into my past because I have nothing to hide, oh never mind I will not meet with any investigators for any reason ever.”

She believes the Bush Doctrine is a “World View” hahaha

She says she said “No Thanks” for the Bridge to nowhere when she was actually the one who got it approved

She says we may have to go to war WITH RUSSIA

She decreased her own responsibilities when she was the mayor of a town small enough to be run by a fifth grader

People are seeing John McCain fo who he really is. If you live in Ohio you should be appalled that John McCain was behind the DHL pull out. This man has caused more jobs to leave Ohio than any other candidate. He is about big business and money. I hope race does not blind the good people of Ohio. John McCain maybe white, but he is not the working man or woman's friend. DHL is just the beginning to what he will do to you.

QUE VIVA OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

Obama is destined to become our next President of the United States of America!!! Obama in 2009!!!

Yeah! We will go all the way to the White House. We will not be fooled this time – no! This time the stakes are too high.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Last time I checked Obama did come out with an economic plan and McCain is waiting to come out with his. I think some people are behind on current events.

Canada for Obama! He will not only change the United States. He will change the world!

I guess the person who criticizes the most and offers the LEAST by way of plans or solutions is KING in AmeriKa.

After hearin Palin tell Chalie Gibson "We might have to go to war with Russia", I am VERY relieved to see people are seeing through the McCain BS and a vision of Nightmare in America.

Republicans have, just in the past week, turned their backs on the laissez-faire capitalist philosophy they've stood for since Reagan, and are trying to pretend they never believed in anything they've done over the past thirty years. Have they become Socialists overnight, or are they just trying to rewrite the rules of the same game they've been playing all this time?

If you trust a Republican after this about-face, about-face yourself and get ready to pretend to enjoy what they're gonna give you next.

Watch the McCain group try to instill more fear. Ask yourself, why is it that his only campaign tactic involves trying to make people afraid of the opposition and not about what he would do?

We must Vote obama because WE can'not let another Republican in Office to run this country in the ground we need new leadership and the only man to bring about true change is Obama/Biden

The candidate with no plans of his own but with loud criticism of others who have taken a stand and enunciated a plan is out ahead in the polls?

I just do not understand the folly of Americans.

Running on fear.

Far too close for comfort… I'm afraid that nearly half of the country consist of uneducated idiots who fall for the fear mongering of the greedy corporate types.

Again, no one has asked our opinion nor anyone we know! These polls are useless. If it matters, you can add two more votes for Obama from Ohio – one Republican and one Democrat!

OBAMA 08

OBAMA has yet to come up with an economic plan. All he does is mock and ridicule the comments and suggestions of others. He continues to play safe- voting present?- until he sees whether the plans of other people succeed or fail.
THEN and only then, will Obama express his opinions and plans on what to do.

AND STILL, Americans are so scared that they are leaning towards Obama.

Obama's UNIVERSAL Health care plan that is NOT universal but allows people to opt out, ALONE is reason NOT to vote for Obama.

Obama wants to give my money away.There should be no bailout of Wall Street –period. I have been saying since 9-11-just wait— all these people living far beyond thier means, are going to get a rude awakening.Each person is responsible for their own finances.Most people that got these risky loans, knew they were risky, some people running up their credit card bills, have no intention of ever getting out of debt, the same people buy new cars every year when the old one is fine.PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY–on every level, I don't believe the sky is falling, if these institutions fail– others will step up to take their place, but who do you think depends on these institutions for hand outs?—-the politicians. If they are gone–there goes the gravy train.The politicians will have to start their relationships with new entities and that scares them–the unknown.Where will their money come from–panic sets in–and they go back to the good old stand-by–us. I don't want to clean up Wall Street's dirty diaper, those that want to bail them out–should use their own funds–sign a contract and make payments.I am not in debt, I don't believe in credit cards, if I don't have the money I do without.No more corporate welfare-Stop the insanity!

With all the lying racists in this country , with all the legitimate voters taken off the rolls, with all Diebold machines out there…. Obama needs to be up by double digits to have a chance

The truth being brought to bear on misleading ads from both sides is bearing fruit. It would seem the bigger the lie, the bigger the drop in the polls. More and more media outlets are doing "fact check" segments.

How a candidate runs and conducts a campaign is a foreshadowing of how a candidate will run and conduct their elected office.

Did you notice how McCain backed off from "I would fire the chairman." to "I would ask for the chairman's resignation." As POTUS he cannot fire the chairman no more than he could fire a Supreme Court Justice, even if he did appoint the judge. McCain demonstrated a bully pulpit mentality. Sound familiar?

GO President Obama. Now lets add all the cell phone users and the new voters to the mix. Landslide victory for Mr. President Obama. Wha is up with McShame saying LiarSarah is ready to be PRESIDENT LOL LOL LOL LOL LOl

All you Hillary supporters claiming to be down with McShame; What is McShame now saying about Hillary? Nothing. SO be smart with your vote and lets put Hillary in Office in 2012, because if Obama was too lose this election, Hillary has no shot. Hillary or Palin? I saw Hillary anyday.

President Obama/ Vice President Biden '08

Rasmussen has Obama up 7 in Minnesota

McCain is out there now trying to say he is going to reform himself. McCain has ALWAYS been a strong supporter of deregulation and less government oversight for Wall Street. McCain's fingerprints are all over our economic disaster we are now facing.

Now all of sudden he want's to reform his own philosophies and support he has held for over 20 years.

Oh yeah, he also want to end earmarks but just 3 mothns ago he announced he wanted to spend $300 million dollars to the inventor of a better car battery. That is a federal earmark by definition.

The media has never called him on it.

One Car. One House. One Spouse!

Go Obama!!!

Obama/Biden '08

I noticed that when they show a candidate leading the polls they'll put a tough looking picture of him, but when he's behind in the polls its more of a sad picture

I'm skeptical but optimistic. McCain is just too scary. We need Obama.Biden.

08 12

CHANGE WE ALL CAN BELIEVE IN………
OBAMA/BIDEN…..2008, LETS GET IT

GREAT. It proves the voters are not falling for and are tired
of the lies, distortions and attacks made by the republicans.
The future of American depends on our getting the
republicans out of office.
We cannot survive any more of their irresponsible
leadership of our country.

Frank, you and your family are feeling what me and my whole community are. I am anxious to give the Illinois Senator a shot.

Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can!

Republicans hate America! if they didn't, this race wouldn't be close. But you people are ready to put a candidate who is for the rich only (mccain) rather than vote for the betterment of your country (Obama) because he is black! How disgusting and backwards you are. By the way, I am white and a female and PROUD to cast my vote for Obama. I wouldn't care if he were green, he is intelligent, has sound plans for fixing this economy and has shown us brilliant judgement and he's got my vote. Plus I don't like pathological liars (mccain/palin), the lying thing just insults my intelligence. By the way mccain, whatever happened to the gas tax holiday????

The tide has turned. I smell a landslide coming.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

The fact that these states are only "leaning Obama" should be a point of concern for the enlightened one.

People are realizing that we need practical experience to lead us through these difficult times– not just untested intellectual theories.

Obama: Ready to get elected. Not ready to lead.

BO could lose if the race is too close because of his race. Common, ya'll know that if it comes down to it, BO will lose of the racism in this country!!!

YES WE CAN ! I went door-to-door this weekend with my family ! We never supported a campaign in that way before ! Missouri counts, our voices count ! OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT !

I support Obama, but who really cares?? I do not.

The only poll I care about is on the 4th of NOV.

Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John McCain invented the opinion poll.

Yes, yes and yes. We will win this election Barack !

But haven't Karl Rove and the far right-wingers already fixed the outcome of this election a long time ago?

Does it really matter how we vote this time?
