McCain/Palin – THANKS, BUT NO THANKS

Obama/Biden/Warner/Webb/Kaine

Can't believe this ? My challenge to the popular vote is keeping up then

What a lie in the face of the nation.

Obama-Biden must quit the race.

I find it disturbing that McCain is a terrorist and will not support medical care for newborns, veterans, women, and americans in general.

Wow!!! Even Virginians have had enough of the Republicans. Maybe McCain if you stopped insulting the American people intelligence you would have had a chance. Palin do you realize you are being used by McCain to get in the White House or do you even care? You're obviously not ready (even though for some CRAZY reason you think you are) because McCain is hiding you from the public. STOP NOW! You are making a fool out of yourself. Country First. Yeah Right.

obama/biden 08
go,go,go,win,win,win,fight,fight,fight

We are choseing president not moive star. I don't want teen president, that will be very scare in the future of America. Go MaCin/Palin 08

Does anyone besides me find Sarah Palin's voice to be WHINNY?

To Lou,

I'm a military guy and I can't stand Sarah Palin. One thing to remember is that McCain does NOT have a lock on the veterans' vote.

Everybody is boarding the bus to CHANGE. There is no time left to look back or wait for the upcoming Bus to NO WHERE

Obama has my Virginia Vote! Add that to your poll of polls CNN

It finally appears that more people are realizing what a McCain/Palin win will get them. A lot of damage can be done in four more years of Republican ignorance. I'm not taking that chance, and I'm voting for Obama.

The media is not biased for reporting facts. FACTS ARE NOT BIASED OR UNFAIR. Just because the FACTS and EVIDENCE prove your idiotic conservative Reaganomic close-mided tunnel-visioned world views to be completely inane...that doesn' tmean that the people who report those FACTS and EVIDENCE are baised. It's just too bad for you that you sided with the team that thinks this is all just a game.

The people who are really biased are the Republicans, who are ignoring the FACTS and EVIDENCE...the ones pretending they don't exist, the ones misleading and distorting and lying and fabricating new "facts" and trying to sell them to you as reality.

OBAMA is our NEXT PRESIDENT.
No doubt about this. He will win big in
my state Florida.

JUST HAD TO RESPOND TO THOSE WHO ARE STILL SAYING THAT PALIN HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAT SEN. OBAMA! PLEASE GET YOUR INFORMATION FROM SOMEONE OTHER THAN LIMBAUGH-THE-CLOWN!

SEN. OBAMA:

3 YEARS COMMUNITY ORGANIZER

FIRST AFRICAN-AMERICAN PRESIDENT OF THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW (OF COURSE A LOT OF GOP-FAR-RIGHT DO NOT KNOW WHAT 'HARVARD' IS)!

ORGANIZER OF A VOTER REGISTRATION DRIVE THAT REGISTERED 150,000 NEW VOTERS

12 YEARS AS A CONSTITUTIONAL LAW PROFESSOR

8 YEARS AS ILLINOIS STATE SENATOR; REPRESENTING 750,000 PEOPLE!

CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE

UNITED STATES SENATOR FOR ...........FOUR........FOUR.........YEARS!

VERSUS PALIN:

ATTENDED FIVE DIFFERENT COLLEGES, ONE JOURNALISM DEGREE

MAYOR OF A TINY ALASKA TOWN

20 .......MONTHS............MONTHS! AS GOVERNOR!

THE PRESIDENCY IS NO JOKE! WE NEED TO ...........THINK..........WHICH IS SOMETHING SOME OF THE FAR-RIGHT-LIMBAUGH-OREILLY-HATE-FEAR-MONGERS DON'T DO!

The Republicans weren't making up poll excuses when they were tied or ahead but now all of sudden there are issues? Please.

If young voters were included in these polls, Obama's lead would be much larger. Let me know when polls start calling cell phones and emailing because I don't know anyone under the age of 30 with a land line.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Oh CNN just reported that Obama and Biden both voted twice for the bridge to nowhere!!!!! They also voted against diverting that money for actually fix a destroyed bridge in New Orleans by Katrina. How about them apples. By the way Palin was not the Governor at the time of the bridge to nowhere. She came in in the middle of it and said no.

I am so tired of those McBush or another 8 years of the same thing! You Obama lovers know as well as I, that McCain will make some heads roll, you Obama lovers know it Beiden knows it. When you strart having Democrats leaning toward McCain, do I need to say more! If you all would sit still and listen to the true facts instead of Bashing, you might learn something! We shall see in the Debates.Obama may be the smooth talker; but McCain will let you know what is really going on. Furthermore he will change our Government and give it back to the people! But you Obama lovers will still gripe just to gripe! McCain/Palin, true Americans! P.S. Did you Bashers know that Sen. McCain refused his Social Security. Check around and see who else forfited their S.S/ Check. You can count them on one hand!

earmark this earmark that, blah blah blah,

desperately trying to distrack people from

TAXPAYER BAILOUT OF WALL STREET CRIMINALS,

which own CNN themselves!

I wouldn't let my moose near Sarah Palin.

Shoot Republicans from helicopters not wolves!

"BOMB, BOMB, BOMB," and laughs is a joke. No it is not laughable!.

It is NOT FUNNY. And telling the American people that you are against
"earmarks". and YOU, are going to clean up Washington!!!! The list
is long.

I think Rick Davis should be arrested! You know, the top dog campaign
manager for MCCain. Oh, yes, The FBI is already on it!. NO BAILOUT
GET THE MONEY BACK FROM THE THEIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

For those who believe the media is in Obama's pocket, please read the latest headline on CNN's home page! Maybe you guys will change your minds!

Considering the current political and economic climate, Obama should be up in these polls, not down, and not tied. That fact that it hasn't happened yet does not bode well for him, IMO. There is plenty of time between now and November 4th for the jitters to settle down, and people will once again vote for the devil they know rather than the unknown.

I live in Northern Virginia. Friends of mine that have voted straight Republican ticket in the past are voting Obama this time. I'm sure that the region will go blue in a big way, but not big enough to give Obama a win in the state.

As reliably Republican as Virginia has been over the past 40+ years, it can only mean one thing for both campaigns: Uh-Oh for McCain and Go Baby Go for Obama. Speaking of Obama, if he plays his cards right, my home state of North Carolina will go blue, too.

Nah nah nah hey hey hey gooood bye.....

Democrats had their chance to win this election by nominating Hillary Clinton. However, the party (along with the very biased news media) proved to be very extremely sexist.

I was very impressed by what Bill Clinton said about Sarah Palin.

Sorry, Dems but this election will be won my McCain.

McCain in 2008

Clinton in 2012.

I can tell you first hand that there's a lot of support for Barack here in Virginia. This weekend I went door to door volunteering for the Obama campaign and couldn't believe how many people will be voting for Obama.

Say no to a PALIN/mccain ticket.

Obama/Biden 08

For the first time in my life, I will vote democrat. Four years of McCain/Palin will lead to a nuclear holocaust and a third world economy! I say, "no more warmongers in the Whitehouse".

JC from Boston wrote:
I'm Latino and voting for McCain/Palin because I don't need hand me downs and successful people subsidizing my existence.
---------------------------–
That's a SUPER reason for voting for the further demise of America. It's pretty obvious that you NEED something more basic for making sound decisions.

McCain Campaign will out of race

Obama will win and walk to the White House 08 to 12

Hillary Clinton will be next President

I hope Al Gore be next.

Republican will never be in white house forever at this time ( never trust Republican ), it will be DEMOCRAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOREVER!!

Americans need to wake up and realize that we are blesses. We have the power to change course, change our lives and change the world. McCain/Palin is just Bush/Cheney all over again. McCain has sold his soul for the White House and Palin is parading around not even speaking her thoughs. It is a sham of a campaign and the American people deserve better than this "Picture Express" we are being sold.

For my own personal reasons, I vote Obama for two reasons, he will stop the wars. When the wars stop, and we stop draining our treasury, we can re-focus who we are as a country. Second reason is less complex. I don't want Sarah Palin picking the next three Supreme Court justices if John McCain dies.

I am extremely discouraged.. C'mon America!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

P.s. Mike- you need psychotherapy.

If some Americans don't vote for Obama because he is a man of color, we areally are a doomed people. I would vote for Obama if he was white.

Can somebody else ADD in Virginia. Like arithmatic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADD. Come on, someone local. I don't TINK these polls are correct!!!!

OBAMA BIDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kasparov, how was Clinton treated unfairly? She lost because she was overconfident and ignored the caucuses.

Hillary Clinton can't complain about caucuses or the Michigan and Florida sanctions because her people (e.g., Harold Ickes) voted for those campain rules.

She would have been a good candidate, and she would have won more easily, but she was not entitled to the nomination. Another factor in her loss is that she acted as though she were entitled to it.

GO R.ROSS!! YES!

Do not say that Sarah Palin does not have Foreign Affairs experience. She met with so many leaders yesterday that I lost the count. So what if each meeting was for 30 second.

I am a Virginia resident and can tell you Obama is going to take Virginia.

THESE POLLS JUST DON'T ADD UP. DUH???

Really, who would vote for McMOUSE?

To Mike:
Your fear tactics are lame. Not going to work dude. Vote Obama or bust!

This state hasn't gone to the Dems in many many years. Obama needs to worry about PA, which might very well go RED. The last time PA was red was 20 years ago.

Let's forget the candidates for a moment, and let's look at platforms as a reason to vote. Do you like the GOP platform? Vote McCain... Do you like the DEM platform? Then vote Obama. Why? Because each of them leads a party with a agenda. The Agenda will guide the Presidency.

Obama is up NINE. John King and Wolfe Blitzer must be depressed today. CNN is busy trying to tear down the only hope this country has in Barack Obama. Saying that they voted for the Bridge to no where..thats fine I guess..the key is they werent lying about it in their stump speech.

Its not about the bridge. Its about honesty. Palin has none.

I sincerely hope and pray that Obama-Biden win this election.
Our country is at stake!!
And please don't let race play a part in this election. We're all Gods people.

The deal was already struck-the troops will, maybe leave Iraq, in
2011. Bush is trying to get it all set in stone, so it CANNOT BE changed!!!! LOTS OF THINGS. Like the BIG BAILOUT in a WEEK!
BUSY MAN!!!

OBAMA BIDEN 2008

its funny how people say John Mccain is another George Bush, when in actuality he is worse. George Bush went to Harvard, Mccain the Naval Academy. Bush lacks common sense, Mccain is out of touch and lacks common sense to run this country. Mccsame chose a Governor from Alaska that doesn't know a thing about urban area issues. i.e. Gang Violence, Drug Abuse, Homicide, and etc. How is she ready to run a country if anything happens to him. His choice was political and it wasn't good judgment. Mccain is definitely not ready to lead.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Country First! I just love wearing my flag lapel pin at work and sporting my Obama bumper sticker on my car!

From the state that knows her Presidents, in Richmond, Virginia, I promise each of you that Virginia will be BLUE on November 5! It's the first time voters that aren't reflected in the polls, who will deliver VA to Obama. The excitement on the ground cannot be matched.

YES VIRGINIA, WE WILL BE BLUE!

Obama/Biden 08

ALL 50 States will turn Blue!
And that includes Alaska!!
Enough!!!

After the drama of not being interviewed by the press, I don't see how this race is still close. If Americans were smart they would want transparency.

TRANSPARENCY

There was a time when I might've consoled myself with John McCain's nomination by his party – he used to be more of a centrist. He was one of the first Republicans to voice dissent over our spiraling deficit. There was a time he seemed rational and connected to the people he represented. His actions since becoming the Republican Presidential nominee have more than clearly illustrated that he will stop at nothing to gain power. His good judgement has flown out the window as he adhears to Karl Rove's advice and bows to the religious right. He was never affiliated with them before – certainly not their candidate of choice but now they are behind his ticket with a fervor. Sarah Palin is so hopelessly unqualified even someone from FOX news was agast yesterday when her handlers tried to keep reporters out of her meeting with world leaders – ostensively to miss out on 'gaffes'. Joe Biden is getting slammed left and right for his gaffes but at least he's out there in front of the people and the press, saying what he thinks. The little I hear from Palin's mouth makes me terrifeid for what has become of 48% of our country... If Palin had put herself out there as a potential Presidential candidate back in '07 like Obama, Biden and McCain did – people would've laughed her off the stage for being woefully inexperienced and presumptuous...

In summary,
1) McCain's first demonstration of his 'leadership' was to choose a partner who shares none of his convictions or beliefs – to garner support from the religious right.
2) On the most disasterous day in our country's financial history, he maintained that our economy was fundamentally strong.
3) He has always been a huge proponent of deregulation. Always.
4) His economic policies mirror those of the current President's. Can we afford another four years like the ones we are barely surviving?

Some would tell you to vote for experience... I would agree. Agree that you should vote your OWN experience – when you vote, remember what the last four years have doen to our country and to you personally and vote for Obama/Biden. We need to begin to rebuild.

A hero before 2000,a coward thereafter.

Shame on you Marcus Allen for implying that Obama is Hiltler like. Very mature, use name calling when you have nothing of substance to say. I see why you like McCain. That's his tactic.

WHEN YOU BLOG BARACK,YOU WILL ALWAYS GO BACK... ! OBAMA BIDEN 08. NETHERLANDS ANTILLES

To writer CNN Biased?

You must be voting for McCover Up and Ms. Censorship. First she TRIES to take books out of libraries then the NYT isn't a reputable newspaper, now boycott CNN??? You can't FIRE fire everyone who doesn't believe your ideology! Grow up!! Close minds = ignorance!

I'm voting for the SMART ONE!

To Lou, who said: "It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment."

Obama won Virgina 64% to Clinton's 35%. You must be thinking of West Virginia.

May I also remind you that generally, everyone who votes in the primaries will probably vote in the general election. Even though McCain won the primaries there by 50%, the republicans only got about 470,000 votes altogether. Barack Obama alone recieved 629,000. So even if he gets 75% of Clinton's 350,000 votes, it will be a good head-start.

Not to mention the 2006 elections in VA were good for the Democrats.

when that day actually comes, mccain will be the outcome

If NC goes blue and Obama wins, God help us!
How can people be so misguided. This guy doesn't know anything and has no experience relative to executive responsibility. The US will be in danger of going down the tubes internationally. The enemy will wall all over us and take advantage in the same way that they did under Clinton.

The Democrats have created this fake financial crisis to grab power and swing the election.The last time the talking heads in Washington, and the media pushed something so hard, an immediate threat,something must be done now, it was the Iraq war! Look back through the archives if you don't believe me.The similarities are striking.No Bail out for Wall Street, this will be the biggest mistake since we went to war.

How can anyone even begin to consider voting for McCain...or any other Republican for that matter. The Economy went to hell during their watch, which shows that in 8 years time they have this country nearly Bankrupt.
Now they want a "quick" $700B of our Tax Dollars to bail out the crooked Wall Street exec.s that they allowed to make this mess. And don't think that McCain and Bush weren't making money off Wall Street during this time. Bush was making so much, when asked he didn't even know the Economy was in trouble. And McCain is making so much he still thinks the Economy is Strong!
NO WAY, NO HOW...NO McCAIN!!!

Now John McCain has chosen as his running mate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a diligent student of Big Oil's crib sheets. She's something of a flat-earther who shares the current administration's contempt for science. Palin has expressed skepticism about evolution (which is like not believing in gravity), putting it on par with "creationism," which posits that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago.

She used to insist that human activities have nothing to do with climate change. "I'm not one ... who would attribute it to being man-made," she said in August. After she joined the GOP ticket, she magically reversed herself, to a point. "Man's activities certainly can be contributing to the issue of global warming," she told Charles Gibson two weeks ago.

Meanwhile, Alaska is melting before our eyes; entire villages erode as sea ice vanishes, glaciers are disappearing at a frightening clip, and "dancing forests" caused by disappearing permafrost astonish residents and tourists. Palin had to keep her head buried particularly deep in an oil well to ever have denied that humans are causing climate change. But, as Upton Sinclair pointed out, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."

Palin's enthusiastic embrace of Big Oil's agenda (if not always Big Oil itself) has been the platform of her hasty rise in Alaskan politics. In that sense she is as much a product of the oil industry as the current president and his vice president. Palin, whose husband is a production operator for BP on Alaska's North Slope, has sued the federal government over its listing of the polar bear as an endangered species threatened by global warming, and she has fought to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and Alaska's coast to oil drilling.

When oil profits are at stake, her fantasy world appears to have no boundaries. About American's deadly oil dependence, she mused recently, "I beg to disagree with any candidate who would say we can't drill our way out of our problem."

I guess the only difference between Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney is ... lipstick.

Sorry JC . ., and everyone else who doesn't mind getting ripped off by the
republicans, and then made to feel guilty when you notice. I very well
want the republicans to "hand-out" my tax dollars back to me, since
they are the ones trying to get handouts(bailouts) now from the
taxpayers. You see, all of us aren't so easily brainwashed by the
republican machine as others.

Wake up people!! Haven't you had enough of republican rule??

Go John/Palin 012

Lou, it should be noted that Obama WON the VA primary by double digits. It was part of the Chesapeake primary along with DC and MD. Hillary never recovered from Obama's big wins in all three primaries that night.

A vote for Obama is a vote for change. Buyers remorse will follow shortly as Reed and Pelosi turn him into the next Jimmy carter.

I just can't wait until the debates! Let's talk issues people!!!!

He will win Virginia hands down. Southern VA usually vote Republican but there are a lot more people live in northern virginia then in the rural areas of southern and central VA.

Campbell Brown's attempt to bring voter attention back to the McCain campaign was admirable, but she missed the boat. , The reason Sarah Palin is being hidden from the world has zero to do with sexism and everything to do with her extremely limited knowledge about America and how it works, both necessary to be an effective President. The campaign is doing itself a favor by limiting Sarah's exposure until she goes through the process of getting educated. The good news is that Americans finally see how unprepared she is and has spoken in the polls. Alaska had its biggest rally ever exposing who she really is and the lack of impact she's had – this is a woman who was the last holdout and making women pay for rape exams testing. Everything Sarah Palin speaks about now as a result of her crash course will be viewed as other people speaking through her – I believe the correct term is a puppet. Her husband held the strings before; John McCain's camp holds them now.

Palin agreed with the bridge to nowhere until everyone TOLD HER that it was crazy idea.......so she then had no choice but to cancel that deal.

Palin agreed to the ROAD to NOWHERE.......she went ahead with it!!! I guess it was under the radar or something.

Either way the NO THANKS is just a political stunt. This ROAD to NOWHERE tells us the TRUTH.

So Palin/McCain, THANKS but NO THANKS.....I picking Obama/Biden '08

So, what....Here in Fl Busch won just for 40 popular votes turning its 27 electoral votes red, meaning that anything can happen, there is a 7% undecise.
Go Mc cain/palin 08

Wow! A black candidate neck and neck with a "good ole boy" is tantamount to a landslide in Virginia. Perhaps there's hope for America yet?

My grandmother is a former resident of Virginia and is hopeful that this time around, her friends may help usher in a new era of change.

She is so concerned about this election she did what any 85 year old would do – she started a blog!

85andchange.com is her way of reaching out to her friends in Virginia, and all over the country, and giving them topics to carefully consider this election season!

In 2005 Alabama Republican Senator Shelby chaired a committee to investigate Fannie Mae's mortgage loans, it was blocked by 40 Democratic Senators. Why isn't McCain making more of this?

I find it disturbing that Obama is friends with Terrorists and will not support medical care for newborns.

Sorry, guys...but MCCAIN will win. He is the man for the job – and Palin is the woman for the job. This country does not need another DEM in office. Our economy will be even worse than it is now. If you look at history, everytime we have a DEM in the White House, the economy goes down hill.
I truly believe Florida will be a MCCAIN state. Maybe the northerners who moved here will vote Obama, but the true FLORIDIANS want Mccain. We love our right to carry a gun. Hey, the majority of Florida us rural and there are tons of gun carrying conservatives out here!
Sorry Obama, this is a short lived lead. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Vincent, your "selective" moral values are pathetic, and can you confirm your "allegations"?

Ignorance and fear running amock here!

I can't wait to start singing "I'm So Blue". It's about time for Virginia to come out of the dark ages and vote for a progressive party and a candidate that will give us all HOPE for our future!
I will proudly watch as President Barack Obama is sworn into office on January 20, 2009.

Don't base your vote on skin color.

Please research and think.

Interesting to hear McCain say that as a leader he is better fit than Obama to fix the economy. In other words, it's implied that as the leader he has the power to fix the economy. However, if you ask him if his buddy Bush bears any responsibility for the mess we are in today, he would find a way to balme it on the Democrats. I hope now the public understands the rsik they are taking with the Republicans. Are you willing to gamble your life savings with the same broken trcikle down economics?

"Yeah, I feel your frustration. I'm here in Cincy. The situation looks fairly decent for us in the urban areas, but the rural corn and soybean folk are still clinging. The only thing that we can do is to continue to get undecided people on board and make the attempt to register as many others as possible. It's going to be close. But I do comprehend your frustration that Indiana and Virginia are going stronger for Obama than we are. Let's not get down about it and just do what we have to do. It was never going to be a cakewalk in Ohio anyway."

On the bright side I do know some people out in the country who aren't for McCain, but they're really not in large numbers.

I always love the CNN poll of polls. Cnn is always got Obama in a dead heat or ahead no matter what the other polls show. Keep the spin going cnn and you wonder why you are losing viewers.

@Scott Tucson

Guess what, not only Iran and Russia are rooting for Obama. Most leaders in the world are. Do you know why ? They need sane people to talk to. Not some Moosehunter who can see russia from her kitchen.
The republican presidents of the pasts have sided with Pakistan over India in every respect, losing our trust.
Guess what ? Osama is in Pakistan (in the camp of your so-called friends). Obama has corectly called out Pakistan for using US funds to prepare for war against India.

Obama has excellent judgement and most world leaders want a guy who will actually listen to them and not sing "Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran"

CNN please post this

Say what you will, this election was supposed to be a shoe-in for the democrats, but the polls are tight as ever. Just goes to show what a pathetic, weak candidate the dems have chosen once again.

MCCAIN – PALIN 08

One House, One spouse, One country!

Noway, Nowhow, No McBush!!

Republicans provide only an illusion of control with no real substance.
Vote Obama, he is the physical embodiment of real change that this country so desparately needs. Just imagine how much stress is on his shoulders to make both young white and black men and women proud of their common heritage. He has a lot to show, and a lot to live up to. He cannot fail if the country stands united behind him.

McCain/Palin is a "dangerous" ticket for this country. It represents more of the same, bad economic decisions for this country, bad foreign policy for this country, more wars, more alienation of our allies! These two have nothing to offer except for more lies, secrecy and right wing wacko ideas. At McCains advanced age and health history of cancer it is very possible that the NO NOTHING except how to be nasty, shrill and tell lies, Palin, could be running the U.S.! That's not only scary but very dangerous! We canNOT allow this to happen. We canNOT afford a third term of the disastrous politics and policies of the last 8 years!!!!!!

Dear "Independent for McCain" I was enlisted in the US Marines
from 1989 to 1993. I was on the ground in Saudi for about 1.5 Yr. I'm voting for Obama for a better America. Am I not a true patriot American because of my opinion? Sir or Mamn Obama is a true patriot American. Should I ask a question that if McCain were in office would we worry about an American Irish war?

It won't even be close in VA come election day. Unless they have a ridiculously huge turnout in NoVa, Obama won't win that state. Period.

I don't know that this is accurate at all. Mccain is not the talk here. I live here, and that is not the pulse here.

If Mccain wins then there is a big chance that Palin will finish his term due to his age and health. I have also felt that he is incoherent in his speeches so he might be experiencing some old age memory issues and eventually Palin will take over and I feel Palin has no ability to Lead an Entire country, a whole continent of 300 million + citizens. She seems flaky and just seeks to get power and fame. I think she is simply an Ignorant individual who has no clue about anything that matters to the country. When she says "i am ready" it really scares me, because I see she is NOT.
Obama/Biden 08

@ Vincent, Great Lakes IL: You are the stupidest person alive.

Palin can not release 4 years tax return because Palin used taxpayers money to buy their house, boat and airplane.

I've come to believe that I live in a country of Moron's.........How can anyone think that McTicking timebomb can offer us change........All I see is another term of more of the same, more jobs gone, another needless war based on lies and greed, more homelessness, the list is just too long........Ohio and Virginia, WAKE UP....what have the Repulicans done for your States, Absolutely Nothing......Thanks to deregulation of the finanacial markets in this country that McTicking timebomb supported, everyone is at risk of losing it all, 401K accounts, homes, cars, jobs, etc........I want better for this country, not more of the same, we shouldn't be worrying about the possibility of a Depression in 2008.....Republicans and their greed have caused this mess.......Vote for Change, Vote for Obama and Biden

You are all stupid, please don't cry on our shoulders when the time comes that Obama has dug himself in to deep that he cannot get out.

This man is a puppet, no experiance and no knowledge of how this country should be run.

I look forward to the debates when the "Old Man" kicks the "Black Mans'" butt

And CNN you are so biased. I would love to see this self proclaimed best political news team take a hike

If Mccain wins then there is a big chance that Palin will finish his term due to his age and health.

Obama/Biden 08

I moved from CA since the last presidential election and FINALLY my vote can make a difference! I know of 2 definite votes that are going to help turn VA BLUE!!!

Obama/Biden/Warner '08

CLEARLY; the GOP/Republican party is soooooo OUT, McCain's continues to tell out right LIES (just like Bush/Cheney) did for 8 years. CLEARLY you can only tell LIES to people for so long then they just stop listening to you. GOP try the truth, most American's still like that over an outright LIE.

SILVER STREET BANK –
McCains son served on the Silver State Bank board of directors as
part of the auditing committee who over saw the financail books at Silver Street Bank. He left that position 2 months before it went under, taking 20 million dollars of customers life savings with it. Quarter of a million was withdrawn before by customers before it crashed.

look at every state that is close and give 5 points to Obama for the young cell phone only voters that cannot be reached with current polling that only calls land lines. If polls counted we wouldn't have elections people. Obama will win and win big.

Dr. John Gold: Dream on . . . How's that 401 K doing, America?

Vincent: Two time supporter of bush . . . Love the fetus – Hate the child.

Independent for McCain: Another fighting g.o.p. keyboardist (and closet racist)

Hey People,

Have you had enough pain or are you thirsty for more of the McSame?

ELECT OBAMA

Why this Virginian 50 year old white woman has gone nutty for Obama:

1. Obama has an executive presense (and I do believe it matters when dealing with others in the world).

2. Palin – a woman that I feel brings nothing to the table. There are plenty of republican women who would have been excellent choices – but no, McCain choses a almost unheard of person under investigation for abusing her power.

3. Keating Five (google it if you need to)

4. McCain's voting record the last 4 years.

5. I"m tired of being a woman or a POW becoming reasons not to ask questions or to challenge an issue.

6. Obama's ethics wouldn't allow him to cheat on a woman that waited for him to come home from war for 7 years and then after multiple affairs marry the rich girl and lie about the timing. His first wife might have forgiven him but it says a lot about his character.

7. Obama is young with fresh new ideas: McCain is old with George Bush ideas.

8. McCain is NOT MY FRIEND!

McCain is in good shape. Everyone knows when the debates start Obama will be exposed. Repubs are not worried. Come election day, americans will have to look at themselves in the mirror. I hope we make the right choice.

McCain/ Palin

Lou- What are you talking about? I live in Virginia and Obama won Virginia hands down over Hillary in the primaries.

Vote for INTELLIGENCE & HONOR!! Vote OBAMA!!

Let's not go for the Republican o-kee-doke this time. They are the reason we are in this extreme financial mess.

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN

The only warning anyone should heed is that CNN has become such a blatantly pro democrat mouthpiece that even an average observer gets sickened by your constant bias to Obama. Thank goodness for Lou Dobbs. He's the only person on your station that tells it like it is. The rest are as bad as the National Inquirer and none worse than the woman who comes on after Lou Dobbs. She should be whining on Entertainment Tonight. It is much better suited to her low-brow opinions.

Wow.

Another democrat Socialist(Obama) solution for a democrat Socialist (Clinton) failure.

When will this country learn??

This country cannot afford another Socialist democrat!!

P.S. Why is it that the CNN moderators only post things if you complain about how biased they are?? It's about a 10:1 ratio of ignorant Obama supporters to McCain supporters here and CNN keeps letting the trash-talking idiots supporting Obama through.

What is wrong with you CNN????

hang it up Mcshame. You used and picked a stripper to win votes! Ha! Country First, my foot. Wake Up America, do we want change, or Bust. McShame can barely remember his own name. Give me a break, idiots voting for him.
Obama-Biden 08

Yok .. I do not know how old you are .. but Obama ain't no Solcialist .. take world view and a history lesson or two and get back to me .. K cha cha?

Why are people soooooo impressed by Clinton's budget? If the government had a surplus, doesn't that mean that they were taking our taxes....and not giving them back? You rude little liberals need to get some facts before you go blame others for YOUR mistakes, and screw up our White House starting 2009.

It's not about blue or red... it's about keeping America safe and free. Do you really think that radical leaders will quiver when smooth-talking Obama sits down with them and says, "Can't we all just get along?" These leaders cannot be reasoned with and cannot be trusted. Americans need a President who has been tested and has proven himself strong and sure. Americans do NOT need a "media puppet". If Obama is elected, the freedom of our country will be compromised.

Vote McCain-Palin 2008

political careers will be destroyed if off-shore oil drilling hurts California's coast

TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS. DON'T ABUSE YOUR VOTE. THIS IS NOT EBAY WHERE YOU ARE SO CAUGHT-UP IN A BIDDING WAR YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU ARE BIDDING ON. THE WINNER DECLARES VICTORY BUT LEAVES WITH A DUD. THIS IS NOT A HORSE RACE WHERE YOU ARE BETTING ON A HORSE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF WINNING. THIS ELECTION SHOULD BE MORE ABOUT THE MESSAGE THAN THE MESSENGER. IF YOU FOCUS ON THE ISSUES AND THE CRISIS WE FACE, THAN THE CHOICE IS CLEAR. OBAMA WILL WIN THAT ARGUMENT EVERYTIME.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Vincent, as a typical Republican, apparently, you are distorting the facts. Please check your facts (no, not on the Fox Noise Network or from Rush Limbaugh).

And Vincent, compared to McCain and Palin I would vote for my dog if he were running for president. Yes. Obama is the man to lead our country out of the mess that McCain and his friends have gotten us into. He can deny it all he wants, but he has been instrumental in the situation we are in today, both domestically and internationally. What is particularly laughable is that he is actually trying to blame this all on Obama. What an incredible putz. And Palin? She's ultimately forgettable, and other than a few chuckles, will be forgotten until the article hits the news that she's serving time.

I hope Obama and Biden win on all issues.... and I can't believe people would still consider voting for McCain or Palin.

Republicans find one sentence that think they can use it to spin they campaign of distorted truth... and look at the world and economy now.... it would all fall into the same or worst scenario if we have Palin and McCain in the top office....

Biden talks about the issues, Palin just poses for the pictures... what is this? And the only reason people watch her is for they are amazed that this is happening...

Don't make comedy out of our lives...vote smart people!

I'm from VA, and he's got this state locked down!!! I've never seen so much support for a Democratic candidate my entire life. Voter registration is at an all time high, enthusiasm is amazing, I can't wait for the final turnout!

Obama/Biden '08!!!

I really believe Obama going to win Georgia because Obama volunteer are in full force for Georgia for Obama/Biden

Republicans' time for reckoning.. .

They too will need a bailout

Patty – You're 0-8 on those issues. Get a new news source, please.

So the NY Times is slanted Democrat? What about Fox News? What about hate radio? What about Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly and Kudlow? The conservative consortium owns the radio and television airwaves. Are they mad they don't own print too?

Sounds like sour apples to me, killing the messenger.

I can't believe how stupid democrats are.

They are still blaming Bush while the dems in the Senate are piling pork and earmarks ON TOP OF the $700 Billion.

They've been doing it for 2 years.

I guess we'll see if America is dumb enough to vote for democrats in November.

How crazy that all these liberals morons on this blog is crazy!!! John McCain/Palin 08 will win VA, all of the SOUTH and run away with this election. Trust me the Puertoricans in the Bronx are all going to McCain/Palin that about 50,000 puertorican votes going to McCain. Now mind me that Majority of the Puertorican are DEM but this time they will all flip to the McCain Column. Why because the Latinos especially the Puertorican Nation knows that OBAMA is a RAT (Raton). We cannot trust OBAMA he, will do nothing for the Hispanic community. John McCain is a AMERICAN HERO!!!!! and the Puertorican people RESPECT THAT!!!

Hispanic for McCain/Palin08

Young people don't vote. Never have, never will. Its always proven to be too inconvenient for them to get to the polls.

On the other hand...the older crowd ALWAYS votes.

This is probably a good thing, many young voters 18-25 will change their political leanings when they complete school and realize how oppressive the socialist aspects of our govt can be.

young and liberal = naive
old and liberal = hopeless

This for "citizen" you wrote "I feel pity for you all OBAMA lovers – you deserve him if he wins!"

Pity .. can you tell me your particular reference to the word "pity" .. because the rest of the working world would not have used that word in that particular sentence. Just curious that's all. Explain yourself please. You wisdom eludes us all.

Reagan, if you are voting for McCain/Palin, then please don't call yourself a democrat. It's an oxymoron

Hillary McCain/Palin and NOBAMA! NEVER!

I read a lot of mean spirited comments here from Obama supporters. Is that a reflection on Obama? I don't really care for such mean attitudes. If you need to name call and degrade, then it must be that you are uncomfortable with the issues. As a life long democrate, I am disgusted with this Obama campaign. I see it as just another egocentric guy pretending that he is some new and improved version of the same old stuff. The real problem is that Obama pretends to be different, to be rising above the fray, when in fact his is in the mud just like the rest of them. It seems I need to vote McCain to send a message of disgust.

Another VA vote for Obama here. Glad to be in a state that might make a difference. (Here's hoping!)

Our Time has come! Lets restore our standing in the world. Obama is the man to do it! Think about it all you moderate Repubs, we can't take too muck more of what we have.

Make Hillary Sec. of State

Where are all the women who just loved the fact that Palin is a woman on the ticket? Why are they allowing Palin to be treated is such a sexist manner. I wouldn't need supporters like them. Palin is allowing herself to be used like a trophy. Are there any women that can relate to that? This is not supportive of women but denigrates women. How can Palin's supporter support this? Get a clue white women. Get a freakin' clue. You should be smarter than this.

TOTAL racists or uneducated or RIch idiots will vote for MCCain. You may
"think" you are rich, but they are out to "protect" only 5% of the
American people financially. Do you have parents who will be
on your doorstep when S.S. Medicare, COLLAPSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometime I come here to laugh! You guys are someting else ... hahaha.

IN THE WORDS OF REAGAN " AMERICAN VOTERS ARE YOU BETTER OF TODAY THAN YOU WERE 8YEARS AGO" ANSWER THAT QUESTION AND DECIDE WHO TO VOTE FOR. IGNORE POPULARITY, ADS, MEDIA BIAS, RACE, SEX, AGE, ETC.

My sister in Florida, her husband, her son. My brother in Florida, his wife, and 18-yer old son are all voting for Democrat. My brother confirmed never in his entire life living in the USA he has ever voted Republican. He is so upset with the Sarah Palin who refused to speak with the people in America. This is sexism at the highest. John McCain thinks he can continue to cover Sarah under his wings. He is makign the BIGGEST MISTAKE. The Americna people deserve better than this.

I'm a former Republican and will be voting for BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT in the state of TEXAS!!! Let's turn Texas BLUE.

John McShame = Cut and Run (dis your own party)
Flip Flop = Cut and Run
Palin is Fa-lin (really transparent- can see right through her and Mcshame's game)

OBAMA 08'
MJG
ATLANA GA

No Experience.

No more speeches.

No more promises of "No politics as usual".

NO B.H.Obama...

Get the money back first. But there are not enough prisons for these
Well Dressed in Designer suits, crooks.............Do they make designer
orange suits? or black and white striped!!!!! Not enough prisons?

Too bad these rednecks will never vote for a black man!

Hispanic for McPalin, what will he do you? Nothing! Do not be fooled. Educate yourself and your family members.

Michelle and Obama in the White House !!!!! I'm loving it!!!!

Question: Has anyone ever counted up the positive Obama comments as opposed to positive McCain comments that CNN chooses to post? Anyone?

"In the latest poll of polls, the Arizona senator only holds a 1 point lead over Barack Obama (47-46 percent) while 7 percent remain undecided."

Ohhh hell yeah!!! Virginia...here we come baby!!

You know, I think I know why the Senator is not having solid leads...because is Senator McCain! LOL!!

As someone had written earlier, "How can you be a woman against a woman?" I will tell you. She nor her party has equal work for equal pay on their platform! She is against a woman having the choice of having a child or not. She has a 17yr old pregnant daughter, if she can not control her home life what makes you think she can control a country? She was part of a group that wanted Alaska to break off and become it's own country; If she didn't love America then what makes you think she does now? She is in the middle of a HUGE scandal. That is just for starts. She is a liar and I do not like her. I am a Republican that is voting Dem this year!! I am tired of my parties lies and am ashamed that they are still using the same old same old with politics. Time for a change is true but not with Palin and McCain.

I've lived in Northern VA my entire life.

Trust me when i say, we are voting for Obama!!

This is to Lou, umm let me refresh your memory, Obama won Virgina in a Landslide, in the primary, you might want to check your facts real quick.

FBI you have ONE WEEK to get the money back that has been transferred overseas by our National Banks and Freddie and Fannie.
Start with McCain Manager, Rick Davis, who took money as late as
last week!!!.
FBI Get the money back-in ONE WEEK! You can do it!!!

Can we say good-bye Republicans!! –LANDSLIDE FOR OBAMA!!

@Robin in SC: I am an SC resident also voting for Obama and i'm trying to get as many people as I know to register to vote. It is an uphill battle, but let's keep this state full of right wing crazies from turing red until at least 9pm! OBAMA-BIDEN 08

we can not afford to let the nut case McCain into the white house.

He has only reached good decisions via one of two methods in his entire career: 1) Steal them from Obama or 2) Fail his way through a succession of bad decisions until he finally hits the right one.

We can not allow this fool to fail his way to success as the President. NO TO McCain!! Yes to Obama!!

Virginia is a virgin young state. Therfore they shouldn´t vote old. It simply doesn´t fit to them.

It must suck for you VP running mate to be more popular than you!

Palin/McCain 2000 and NEVER!

Benjamin September 24th, 2008 10:41 am ET

(1) Obama initiated his IL Senate campaign in the home of a man, William Ayers, who bombed the NY Police Headquarters and the Pentagon. Before this, Obama was chair of Ayers' education program (the Chicago Annenberg Challenge) — Ayer's second method to destroy the U.S. — educating the youth to hate the U.S., chaired by Obama.

(2) Obama spent 20-years in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's congregation, which preaches hate. When Wright's controversial sermons become public, Obama repudiated him. If Obama was not running for president, he would still be attending Wright's congregation.

(3) Obama voted 4 times to deny medical care to human beings who survive the abortion procedure. He said this creates an undue "burden" on the woman's original decision. Obama believes the woman's decision must be carried to completion, no matter the circumstances: In the womb or already born.

Is this the type of man we want leading the U.S.???
___________________________

No, I would rather have a man who cheat's on his wife and offers his current wife parade around in a topless biker contest.

What an idiot.

Most people understand how this all works. McCain may not have been the first choice by hard core conservatives. Some are still holding out. But unlike Hillary voter who have more than held out, many have switched sides and are now voting for McCain, these undecided voters will when faced with voting for a national hero like John McCain or someone who is almost a socialist like Obama; these moderate and conservative people of Virginia will pull the lever for John McCain. As a matter of fact, I believe McCain will win by a larger margin than Bush over Kerry. People want a Mavrick in White House.

Look what experience has given us the last 7+yr..Bush!

A Rep like me is not voting for McCain and Palin for many reason.
1 Palin isn't fix to be VP
2 McCain is wrong on Economics
3 McCain will not support bring home the troops from Iraq (Bush is doing it)
4 McCain ideology of deregulation
5 McCain wants a war with Iran and Russia
6 McCain brought back the out of main stream ideology
7 McCain voted against workers rights
8 McCain voted against our Iraqi and Afghanistan Vets

Can someone tell Obama to continue to talk about the economy every single day? The only way he will win is if he keeps talking about the economy. Even during the foreign policy debate he should relate it back to the economy. If the American people actually vote McCain in with this economy then we deserve what we get.

> Trust Me Obama Cannot Be Trusted!!!!!!!!!

Yes, by all means go ahead and trust a paid Republican blogger hiding behind a screen name over a candidate that has been thoroughly vetted and questioned in the public over the course of the last 18 months. That worked out SOOO WELL for the US during the last 2 elections.

these slime bags are going after pollsters now. suck it up, when usa gallup came out with obama losing by 10 after the republican hate fest, obama didn't complain at all! losers

MCcain has had his chance- 26 years, He's now out of chances!

McCain Palin team- THANKS BUT NO THANKS!

Virginia will vote for McCain because he is a true patriot American like his father and grandfather. Obama, well father from Kenya and grandparent from Kenya too.
I wonder will Barack Hussein Obama be impartial if there is conflict between US and Kenya? Will his judgement be independent? Definitely will not happen to McCain.

The demographics in VA are looking better for Obama. The military influence is more mid to lower VA. Just remember that Officers vote different from enlisted.

Obama will sweep No Va. Be competitive in the Tidewater area.

Seriously, republicans are the last people who should be getting on ANYONE for crazy preachers. The GOP is full of them.

It seems to me that the fact that it is so close in VA does not fare well at all for Obama. As I recall, he was bragging all throughout the primary how he was going to sweep Virginia. Remember all of that talk about "candidate for change, new politics, going to change the electoral map. . ." Yeah; right. All talk, no substance.

McCain/Palin '08
Hillary 2012

YOU ARE SO MISINFORMED! IT'S SAD!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12

Isn't that just like a Devilcrat always checkin his Winky just like Bill Clinton.

We need to stop the Obamanation!

Obama will be great for America, a FRESH start !!!

Obama-Biden 08

How stupid are the people in the world or this country to think that Obama is going to help change this nation for the better.

Obama is a Solcialist with no clothes.

He will work on taking from the people that work hard for their money, and giving it away to people that want the government to take care of them. Unfortunately, there have become more people, immigrants, and losers that continue to bring down our nation, rather that push it back up.

We need to FIRE about 1/3 of the government adminstartive staff that is worthless, cut back on every program, reconstruct our defense strategy, and tell many other countries they are on their own.

What we dont need is a preacher of "it take a village", and we do not need a rookie at the helm of our ship.

If you want 40% to 60% of what you earn to go to the worthless and carry the weight of a Solcialist Nation on your back. Then go ahead and vote for the Obamanation, and kiss this country good by.

Wake up democrates, I was once a democrate, then I got tired of watching taxes go up. Work hard, and you will prevail.

Obama is a Solcialist with no clothes.

Wow can't believe all these Liberals Dem are that STUPID!!! Why can you accept that OBAMA is not going to win VA. The Hispanic people are going to decide the election and folks McCain/Palin will get the Majority of the LATINOS Votes. The Puertorican in Bronx, NY are going to McCain/Palin 08. I have 20-25 family members that are die hard DEM that went to Hillary are NOT supporting OBAMA. The Majority of Puertorican are going to McCain/Palin. They don't trust OBAMA at all.

Hispanic for McCain/Palin08

The republicans should stop, take a breath and think how they are going to change their ideas and attitudes. Our country is collapsing and they don't get it. They truly believe we are still in the 1960s when life was good. Guys, grow up. The world has moved on and we must change or die as a country. Obama/Biden 08.

I think Kathleen hit it on the head. A lot of people will NOT vote for Obama simply because he's black. We can dissect these polls 137 different ways, but I am fairly confident that the vast majority of people that respond to them are not "racist" (either consciously or unconsciously).

Honestly, I'm not voting for Obama, but that's because I don't believe him. I could care less if he was male, female, black, green, red, teal, whatever. I truly think it's sad that there are people out there that won't vote for him simply because of the color of his skin.

McBlackberry = Etch-a-Sketch

Barbara Gooch

You need to get your facts straight. The bridge was NEVER built.
Palin was in office and for the bridge before the congress shot it down.
Then she was against it. You are ill informed so that is why you will make an ill informed vote.

Thankfull the majority of us will vote OBAMA/BIDEN and save your butt.

So happy our country will be united this time around. Change is due and needed American's united as one!

If I didn't live in this country, too, I'd say let Obama win and let all you liberals get what you are hoping for and deserve. If it wasn't so sad, it would be fun to sit back and watch.

I've only seen and encountered Team Obama here in my neighborhood of Annandale in NoVA. They are making house calls, phone calls, emails, you name it, they are out in force. Occasionally, you'll see a McCain sticker, but they are far and few in between. Everyone I talked to in my neighborhood is voting Obama because they are fed up. I truly hope Obama wins VA, but will continue to hold my breath until the results are in Nov. 4th.

Obama/Biden '08
Mark Warner for Senate '08
Connolly for Congress '08

Obama is going to win for the reasons President Clinton said. After 8 years of Republican mess the entire country is leaning democratic. All Obama has to do is hold on to the Kerry states and win Colorado, Iowa and New Mexico (where he has been leading in the polls all summer long). Any upsets such as Virginia or North Carolina will be icing on the cake. There are just too many ways for Obama to win.

I suggest the people who are afraid of having a black president, start saving for therapy right now!!!!!!

Lou,

Virginia went double digist for OBAMA not Hillary in the primaries. Warner is winning by 20 points here for the open senate seat. I think that will draw in more people tthan the polls realize when the are voting and don't want to split ticket.

We need a steady hand and a level head to get this country out of this mess that has been created since Clinton left office.

It's going to take Obama 4 years to get us all back on point. McCain may not even last through his first term.

McCain has demonstrated his quick temper and lack of judgment as recently as when he said to fire the head of the SEC without even examining all of the facts related to the latest Wall St. catastrophes.

America, do you want to take that risk with your future, your home, your job, your sons' lives, your child's future?

Well Mike has sure drawn some liberal fire. As one who has had numerous comments stuck in perpetual moderation I feel his pain. From the comments that make it, you would think that 90% of the country supports Obama. Let's tackle a few of the more obvious lies from Obama supporters with a fact check:
Keating 5: McCain was exonerated, but 3 DEMOCRATIC senators were found guilty. None of the 3 ran for reelection, but none were prosecuted, as the Congress was Democratically controlled at the time.
Both Hillary and Biden have said the Obama is not ready to lead during the primaries.
The bridge to nowhere was voted for by Obama and Biden twice!!! When offered the chance to shift those funds to rebuild a bridge damaged by hurricane Katrina, they voted to keep the funds going to the bridge to nowhere.
The Pentagon did not stop Obama from visiting the wounded troops in Germany. The hospital was all set for the visit. Obama cancelled. He ended up playing basketball in a gym.

Children and relatives of the elderly in Florida. For GOD's sake, educate your parents. They will be living with you!!!! Privatize S.S.
means the money will go on the block to WALL STREET.

YOU CHILDREN TALK TO THE ELDERLY that don't know better!!!!

OBAMA BIDEn 2008

Campbell Brown = Chris Mattews

Democrats such as myself are not voting for O' Baaaaaa 'ma.

John Kerry anyone? Anyone? If anything polls show that they have no significant outcome of the actual general election.

O'Baaaaaa 'ma is not qualified to run a Lemonade stand.

McCain/Palin 08
Hillary 2012

I can't wait until the debate this Friday!

After three days of cramming "Foreign Affairs" the "Empty Suit" will totally bomb without a TelePrompTer to read!

He will be UMMMMM UMMMMMMMMMM UMMMMMMMMMMMM!

What a Joke!

Vote for True Leaders!

Well my ENTIRE family is voting for Obama and we live in Virginia. My sons, 24 and 25 yrs. old, my husband and I. Since Palin can't give interviews and doesn't feel the American people need to review her resume and qualifications to become VP and possibly President, then I don't think she deserves a vote from us. This is America and EVERYBODY if they want to get a job must go on an interview. How dare she not let the media question her regarding her credentials. What are we suppose to vote for her just because she says "she's ready?" You want the job you have to be interviewed. Since she thinks she is above that or is afraid, then I am afraid she is not VP material.

mike and his attempt #23

Shoulda stopped at 0- -Heard any lies from your man's camp Mikey?
McBomb's whole campaign is to lie, why can't you see it?
Open your eyes man!!! I'm not saying Obama is our savior – -not even close BUT he is the best guy for the job. If McCain tips over do you want the screech owl Palin to run this country? If that don't happen do you sant a 72 year old geezer flip-flopping liar? Give Obama a chance.
At least he can speak intelligently – -unlike our current Bozo.

CNN read your comments... it is all about how great thy Obama is and your not biased? Cnn why don't you just get a site for bashing McCain and Pailin, it is obvious whoever chooses these comments are Democrats. I think America should boycott Cnn.

It is worth noting that Goldfarb states the charge is "demonstrably" false, but provides no proof to contradict the article.

Just more lies and rants from the McCrypt camp.

Alert!
Ron Paul just hit one out of the park at the hearing

Actually McCain is UP by three points in VA.

CNN, why are you deleting my comments? Do you believe in free speech or does the C in your acronym stand for "Controlled"?

Newsflash! In 1999, Sarah was caught tearing off the mattress
tag on a newly bought mattress for her home. She did this even though the mattress tag issued a stern "do not remove" warning.
MSM has the shocking details!

Meanwhile, MSM fails to investigate or report on Obama's relationship to Ayers.

Shame on you, MSM. Can you honestly look in the mirror and call yourselves "journalists"?

Will you delete this comment also? Probably.

I'm all about a balance of power, but in this election, I truly hope to see VA go blue. Down with the neocons. Bring some integrity back to politics.
Obama/Biden '08

we elected 2 oil-based politicians into office. We inherited two wars and an economy greased in oil, greed and deceptions.

Let's not elect 2 more oil-based politicians (mcBushainand PalChiney) into office again. Let's not repeat the same mistake. If we elect these two warlords in office, we'll miss Bush and Cheney.

Do Republicans ever stop whining about the liberal media? The only truly biast network on television is Fox News. No spin zone....hahahaha

the only thing Blue in Virginia will be Srah Palin when they see how big the losoe by

That Other Jerry

Jerry:

You say Obama better watch it if he wins because there will be 49% of the people who did not support him and therefore he is not receiving a clear mandate.

Well bud, your GWB sure did what the hell he wanted even though knowing the nation was split between him and Gore and Kerry. Gore even wo nthe popular vote. But Bush sure made it clear after winning that he thought he had a mandate to do what he wanted.

Should it be pay back time. What do you think?

But as many of us have more sense then Bush and his backers (of which I'm sure you were a tthe time) we'll advise Obama to look to both sides of the isle for ideas and suggestions before making decisions. Something we and you are not used too.

Sorry, do all the polls you want. Come November, 3/4 of the mad Clinton supporters will not show up or vote for McCain regardless of what they tell the pollsters. Mrs. Clinton was treated unfair by her party and its leaders. Virginia is lost already for Obama. November will be National Backlash month.

As a swing vote I am still waiting for the candidate to start discussing how they will successfully take on the oath of President. My vote goes to the first candidate that stops bashing the other.It is out of control and we the people want to hear how each candidate will implement their policies not how the other will implement. Lets get on with the campaign and someone step up to the plate. it is getting real old the same old garbage.

Tony in Washington DC

I wish McCain and his bobble head doll running mate would simply go home. Mr. Negative hasn't had an independent thought in years. He even has his son involved in failed banks so he seeks to ruin our system with each generation of his family. America needs a break from the Bush's and McCain's in our government and elect some new faces!!!

Obama Supporters:
DO NOT be surprised when Obama loses thru McCain Palin
lies and cheating! DO NOT BE SURPRISED!!!!! McCain will win.

Americans are either too stupid, not educated on policies, or racist
but A BLACK MAN WILL NOT WIN THIS RACE. They, Hannity, Rove,
Bill Clinton, Ann Coulter, Limbaugh WILL destroy his possibilities of
winning. YES THEY WILL.

Americans let it happen. They just let it happen!!!!!!

Obama Biden 2008

What does it means to the world that Palin as a president met Kaizai???
It means, " American empire is at it's ending" .
What does it means to American people??? Be prepared for the worst!!!
It is a scary situation if Palin get the presidency!!!
Obama/Biden!!

Those who continue to support McCain / Palin must be delusional if they believe he will change the course of the country and the severe economic pain it’s facing. Their campaign will not allow Palin more than 29 seconds with the press. They also fought to have the VP debates format changed so that she would not be forced to play defense. There’s something wrong with this picture America! The McCain / Palin ticket will say and do anything to win your support and this election. In the latest polls 83% of Americans believe this country is headed in the wrong direction and perhaps facing a recession. If only 17% of Americans feel our economy is strong then why in the world is this election process so close? McCain is 9% maverick since he has supported Bush nearly 91% of the time. This isn’t change and our country will only continue down the same path of self-destruction.

People are suffering in Virginia. It will be interesting to see if they stick with what got them there or will they step in a new direction.
OBAMA/BIDEN in 08!

Lou.........you are getting Virginia mixed up with West Virginia.

Virginia shouldn't be a problem for McCain. Since I live here in heavily democratic SW VA, I know too many Democratic friends who will be voting for Warner (D) and McCain (R). Obama is too repulsive for most working Democratics.

I'm Latino and voting for McCain/Palin because I don't need hand me downs and successful people subsidizing my existence.

To Doug in Jersey & Dan in New York:

Lose the socialism argument. We already have socialism coming from the White House with Bush! Have you been paying attention? They are for socializing our financial markets and banking system and you are worried about socialism under Obama? Get a new argument because Bush is now a socialist !!!

Liz – I guess when they finish Palin's investigation, IF she ever cooperates or ALLOWS her people to testify. What kind of transparency is that?
Riddle – How is a person ready to be VP but not ready to give interviews or be vetted by the public?
McCain/Palin = disaster for our country = pathological liars!

GET LOST YOU REPUBLICAN THIEVES, NO MORE SUCKING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DRY, YOU PEOPLE HAVE DONE ENOUGH TO THIS COUNTRY AND THE WORLD. BYE- BYE- IDIOTS OBAMA/BIDEN "08"

McCAIN / PALIN the next US disaster if the win this election

John got tired of going to his campaign rally's and hearing crickets. LOL, so he picks Gidget and she packs them in, but there's only one thing wrong. She is not qualified to be the VP–really she isn't.

Obama/Biden 08

The burning issue of this campaign has and continues to be the economy. McCain's record and rhetoric have submarined his campaign and will certainly cost him the election. Obama has remained professional, polished, knowledgeable and talks to the voters about the issues and what he offers. That is why Virginia will go Democrat November 4th. It's the economy. When you are hungry, your children are living without, you are unemployed or underemployed, at risk of losing your home or in foreclosure, can't afford basic utilities and the future is more of the same, those issues will be driving the voter's decision.

Well'
Campbell missed the part of Gov Palin's speech that specifically said she is not going to Washington to "seek the good opinion" of the Dem Media Elite. There is nothing ambiguous in that statement. I thought Campbell was educated??

We're glad Obama made a visit here a few weeks ago, and definately it's refreshing to know that Mark Warner will be part of the president's circle of friends. Warner did more for this city than we could ever imagine during the tough times and the very fact that Obama would follow him here speaks volumes. Of course we don't matter to the McSenile's of the world, and all the crazy folk with "McCain Country" signs in their yard need a wake up call. McCain treats Southside VA like his extra cars and houses, he forgets about them.

Martinsville for Obama 08

Is it election day? Then it really doesn't matter what the polls say. There is only one poll that makes a difference – the election.

I'm in VA and all I will honestly say that McCain is fighting an uphill battle here. Virginia is no longer a Republican strong hold. I know this isn't very scientific, but of all the bumper stickers/ yard signs I see in VA for the two candidates....at least 85% are for Obama.

Inat....at least we let Biden speak on his own....Palin is kept hidden away from reporters

Those of you who are voting for the McLiar ticket must like the fact that we are in the midst of a 700 billion dollar bail-out, which we the taxpayer have to pay, as well as spending millions a month on 2 war fronts without a conclusion, a lot of us are losing our homes, jobs and most of all our human dignity and yet there are still those people who vote the republican brand. If these folks have their way, I guess we will meet you in the breadlines. People wake up! We need a change!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Rebecca.
Who says "I think everyone understands.....................what McCain
has lied about.
That is a kind statement, Rebecca, but, they may see that McCain
Palin our liars and they may even believe that McCain is not good
for our Country, but some, my dear, WILL NOT VOTE FOR A BLACK
MAN AT ANY COST TO THEM OR THEIR BELOVED!!!!.
In essence, Rebecca, they are blind thru being very racist people.
And, some, just "think" they will be able to hang on to their money,
but, they will not!!!!! Only the top 5% will survive a McCain Presidency.
And ALL of America can just sit down an cry for our Great Nation!
Obama Biden 2008 or Sink!!!!!

Print this CNN..
I think Obama's campaign has got people flooding mail to cnn Ticker comments for his campaign strategy or maybe cnn is biased and selecting comments mainly from obomanites… If you don't believe it Check out other comments on other networks. It is amazing. I think if Cnn keeps this up they are going to lose alot of veiwers

Come On North Carolina, turn it BLUE!

Gooch...FYI the bridge to nowhere never got built so maybe you should get your facts straight. Poor Lou ....West Virginia is what you are talking about. Obama spanked Hillary in VA.

McCain wanted the same attention that Obama was getting. He was really jealous. So he goes out and picks Sarah- -and boy is he getting attention, but in the wrong way. Her appoval ratings are going down because America realizes she just doesn't have what it takes to be the next in line for the presidency. She has trooper-gate looming over her head, she's afraid of the press, and she's not smart enough, I'll say it.

The first woman VP should have a higher IQ. It's not just enough to be a woman, you have to have the credentials, and Sarah does not have them.

Campbell missed the part of Gov Palin's speech that specifically said she is not going to Washington to "seek the good opinion" of the Dem Media Elite. There is nothing ambiguous in that statement. I thought Campbell was educated??

McCain's abilities as a world leader are a MYTH perpetuated by the Republicans. He is an out of date not very bright man who seems to be losing not only his credibility but his memory as well. The election of McCain will create a new world order with America's voice a secondary player.

More than on the economy, McCain has the same failed policies as Bush.

McWinky, McCain has to read the cards because he is too stupid to read a telepromter. Sarah Palin great because she went to 6 different schools to earn a B.S. in jounalism, so she should be expected to read a telepromter, then she needs to teach grandpa McCain.

LaJuan,
Don't make the mistake of making this about race. The majority of white Americans are people of good will and it will take that strength of character to elect the only right choice–Barack Obama.

The polls are getting closer because some the details of some of the stories are always being reported. A case in point: Sarah Palin is taking heat for the road to nowhere. The former governor is the one that sign the contract. If Palin had cancelled it, the contractors would still have to be paid. Better to have the road built that may be used in the future then paid for the contract and have nothing.
Also alot of people may not be aware that both Biden and Obama voted twice to keep the Bridge to No Where project alive. Be sure to have all the information before making a decision.

If the CNN message boards are any indication, I am deeply troubled by the collective ignorance of the American populace. You idiots are about to get what you deserve.

Hopefully, I'm sitting in a blue state. VOTE OBAMA !!

Lou -

Virginia went for Barack during the Potomac primary and not Hillary.

Yes, "Vriginia will be blue", it's unfortunate that Virginians will put Mark Warner in the Senate. How can you mention Clinton in the same sentence with Warner? You need to do some homework before you elect Mark Warner...read the facts.

As a matter of fact, you need to also read the facts on Senator OBama and Senator Biden's voting record...it's free and available. Come on Virginians, do not be fooled by what you're hearing and reading on TV and the other major networks.

(1) Obama initiated his IL Senate campaign in the home of a man, William Ayers, who bombed the NY Police Headquarters and the Pentagon. Before this, Obama was chair of Ayers' education program (the Chicago Annenberg Challenge) — Ayer's second method to destroy the U.S. — educating the youth to hate the U.S., chaired by Obama.

(2) Obama spent 20-years in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's congregation, which preaches hate. When Wright's controversial sermons become public, Obama repudiated him. If Obama was not running for president, he would still be attending Wright's congregation.

(3) Obama voted 4 times to deny medical care to human beings who survive the abortion procedure. He said this creates an undue "burden" on the woman's original decision. Obama believes the woman's decision must be carried to completion, no matter the circumstances: In the womb or already born.

Is this the type of man we want leading the U.S.???

You've made some erroneonous conclusions from the slanted description of facts you present. The answer to the rhetorical questions is : YES WE CAN!

Eric (of Virginia)

LaJuan probably chose his words carefully, they are meant to inflame racial division. LaJuan is probably a Republican operative.

This is the next tier of the Republican campaign. Inflaming racial division was ALWAYS part of the Republican presidential campaign plan, meant to be used when they start to lose ground.

Get set for the Republicans to get uglier than you thought possible.

The United States is falling apart. Yet, so many will elected for another four more years of disaster.
It's amazing how so many Americans are so easily fooled and more easily led.
VOTE OBAMA FOR CHANGE!

OBAMA-BIDEN ALL THE WAY
thanks goodness

Dear Mr. Sawyer,
All comments await moderation; including ones from paranoid conservatives.

FOLKS BEFORE YOU VOTE CHECK OBAMAS RECORD ON WHERE HE STAND ON THE GUN ISSUE. CHECK WITH THE N.R.A. I DID AND DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I SEEN....... THIS GUY HAS VOTED AND HIS RECORD IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC CHECK SENATE VOTE IN 2005 AND 2004. THEN CHECK WITH THE CHICAGO DEFENDER AND READ THE ARTICAL IN 1999 THIS WILL TELL YOU HOW HE STANDS ON THIS ISSUE.

FOLKS ITS NOT GOOD THIS GUY CANNOT BE TRUSTED

Talking about close states, look at WI and MN. These have been blue a long time. They are now toss ups. The south will not go to Obama. And not only that, the only Great Lakes state he has is IL. It is not over yet.

It looks like Virginia, Florida, Ohio and possibly Missouri will be deciding this election. It will be interesting to see if people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step in a new direction.

Great, if CNN is reporting this, that means that McCain is leading!

( independant-Latina-for Obama), that lay out is great, that needs to be on a TV ad so all those people that are unsure can see the true first hand in your face reality. GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!! TRUE OBAMA/BIDEN "08"

People need to realize...........they voted for Bush the past two terms because he was "somebody they'd like to have a beer with." Well no doubt he'd be a hell of a drinkin' buddy, but he turned out to be a lousy @$$ president.

Now folks are in love with Sarah Palin for virtually the same reasons??

People need to realize, that when you wake up Nov. 5 and scream OH MY GOD WHAT DID I DO......that it is too late.......you've done the damage already.......people need to think NOW and vote for the right reasons, and not your personal prejudices.

Voting for Sarah Palin just because she is a woman is almost as stupid as not voting for Obama just because he's black. All these Dems who are switching to vote for Palin need to take a deep look inside themselves and realize that the condition of this country on a national and worldwide scale is far more important than your personal petty biases.

If you are not voting for the good of the USA, then maybe you shouldn't vote at all.

It is amazing the vitriol coming from all the Obamaniacs. The plagiarizing, race-card pulling community organizer is unqualified. Thank God for the "Brady Effect." He will go down hard on election day. And all Obamanics will regret having drank the Kool-Aid.

McCain/Palin for the next eight....

American voters , I think, will probably find out way too late what was really important in this Presidential Election. So many are easily fooled and more easily led.

I am white, woman voting for Obama from Day 1. Our Country is
a mess.
NO BAILOUT. The crooks have the money in the bank!!!!!
NO BAILOUT. Get the money that the Banks transferred overseas.
This was well planned by CROOKS. Yes, the FBI should start at
the tops and get back the money-in a WEEK.

Obama Biden 2008

CNN should STOP covering the Palin photo-ops until the McCain camp allows access via press interviews.
This is unbelievable – giving them a free ride to say absolutely anything on the stump with NO ACCOUNTABILITY!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

COME ON VIRGINIA!!! I LOVE VIRGINIA....I REALLY DO...Make the right choice this year....vote Obama!

Palin won't talk to reporters & McCain was the brainchild behind Savings & Loans '89. Do you want the dollar to fall further, national debt to soar, more jobs for China and foreclosed homes????

John McCain is going down like the one-legged man doing the Hokey-Kokey!

Obama wont be leading long by his tiny small margin especially after the debate Friday. So go ahead Democrats enjoy for now. Yeah Go McCain you can't beat experience!

Mark Warner running for Senate helps Obama also. Warner is extremely popular in Virginia. Having someone like that running and occasionally stumping withe you trickles up. Warner is especially popular in the SW Appalachian area of VA. Add that to the popularity of Tim Kaine and Jim Webb in No. Va and SE VA and I think that the odds of VA going blue are fantastic.

To MIke:

Now you listen very carefully. George Will, a leading conservative wrote a whole article about John McCain not having the temperment and judgement to be president. This is from his own party. And he is not the only one saying this. The last week we saw McCain shoot from the hip without knowing the facts. The ecomony is fundamentally sound, we shouldn't bail out AIG, Etc. This man clearly wants to win, but hasn't put country first, as he trys to tell us he does. Add all this to the fact that his campaign manager was on the payroll of Fannie and Freddie until last month, and he is hiding away his running mate from the media.

The gut check responses from McCain and the hiding of Ms. Palin are just more of the Bush tactics. I, for one, have had a belly full already. It's time for an INTELLIGENT president. It's time to show the Republicans that the policies they have endorsed my whole life just havn't worked. It's time for OBAMA!

Do you know how the Soviet Union died?

We didn't need to bomb them, we didn't need to do much.

We made them spend themselves to death.

Sound familiar to what is happening today?

»John McCain=Next President. The LOVELY Sarah Palin=Next Vice-President. Of course. HURRAH for McCain/Palin=Presidential DREAM TICKET/TEAM!... Yes.

You guys have no clue what you are about to do trying to vote for McCain! I am an Obama supporter but I will rather vote for 8 more years of Bush than vote McCain in. Are fellow Americans crazy? The difference between Bush and McCain is that John thinks he knows it all and is insane. Bush as a cowboy will shoot first and ask questions later to his advisers, McCain will shoot first and ask "Why are Americans asking me why I shot, I shot because I shot end of story". Look at McCain's track history of saying crazy things and then back-tracking and imagine if it was war because you don't get second chances to back-track and backtracking isn't McCain MO when he feels he has all the POWER.

Please HELP! Please HELP! If we ever elect McCain the republican party will no longer exist or have the guts to talk about winning the Presidency for the next 50 years and they know it and rightly don't trust McCain.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

The Republican house of cards is falling down.

It's about time. It has become very clear what thier agenda is for the US and what it now means for us – calamity, irresponsibility, fear, uncertainty, doubt, big government, overthrow of the legislative and judicial branches of government, power to the executive branch, and on and on.

Throw them out.

How stupid are the people in the world or this country to think that Obama is going to help change this nation for the better.

Obama is a Solcialist with no clothes.

He will work on taking from the people that work hard for their money, and giving it away to people that want the government to take care of them. Unfortunately, there have become more people, immigrants, and losers that continue to bring down our nation, rather that push it back up.

We need to FIRE about 1/3 of the government adminstartive staff that is worthless, cut back on every program, reconstruct our defense strategy, and tell many other countries they are on their own.

What we dont need is a preacher of "it take a village", and we do not need a rookie at the helm of our ship.

If you want 40% to 60% of what you earn to go to the worthless and carry the weight of a Solcialist Nation on your back. Then go ahead and vote for the Obamanation, and kiss this country good by.

Wake up democrates, I was once a democrate, then I got tired of watching taxes go up. Work hard, and you will prevail.

Obama is a Solcialist with no clothes.

I will definitely vote for Senator Obama now. I was a Hillary supporter and was going to vote for McCain but I read some of his voting records and he voted a lot of important things to women. As a woman I want my equal rights as men. I am also disappointed that Palin don't give interviews to the rest of the media except Gibson and Hannity. I think she's just afraid because she doesn't know how to respond to certain subjects. As a professional woman I don't think she have the right credential to be a VP at this time when the country is in great trouble financially and two wars at the same time.

If I were one of those Republican Whinners I would be ashamed of my party for putting that ""pin-up broad"" for a Vice President. Just goes to show the Republicans have NO SHAME

»The WONDERFUL Sarah Palin will CHARM the entire country.This GREAT Lady is the next Vice-President. Yes.Of course.

LaJuan WROTE:
GET over it white america, A BLACK MAN IS READY TO LEAD!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

MY RESPONSE:

I'm white and I'm voting Obama. You REALLY REALLY need to not say stuff like that if you don't want to turn off white voters.

I think once everyone understands the seriousness of what McCain has lied about, his run for president will be pretty much over.

(Quote) David Donnelly, director of the watchdog group Campaign Money Watch just reported, "John McCain's campaign manager and Freddie Mac essentially had a secret half a million dollar lay-a-way plan. For almost three years, they made secret, monthly payments of $15,000 to Rick Davis for apparently no other work than for him to provide special access to a future McCain White House in exchange. If McCain knew about this, his presidential campaign should be over. If he didn't know about it, he ought to fire Rick Davis immediately."

McSame is as dirty/immoral as they come. It always makes me laugh when someone says they're voting for McSame because of the Republican "moral platform". I guess to be moral you have to put a criminal in charge of our nation, and do things like further traumatize child rape victims by forcing the victim to give birth to their rapist's child. Yup, gotta love those sleazy Republican "morals".

every comment awaits moderation unless it favors liberals.

Yea Obama! Senator Obama's message is getting the traction that it deserves. Virginia will be an Obama state in November.

It is interesting to note that these boards go heavily for Obama. The reason, I suspect, is that our party (the Democrats) are really fired up this year and really think we have a winner in Barack Obama. The Republicans are not very excited by John McCain. This was made clear to me on a 2,000 mile car trip from Chicago to Mobile, AL and back last week. Four years ago, there was hardly a car south of the Mason-Dixon without a "W" sticker. This year, in 30 hours on I-65, I could count the McCain stickers using just my fingers and toes. Also, in Alabama, I saw as many Obama stickers as McCain. While Alabama is unlikely to go Blue even this year, the level of enthusiasm is telling.

I can't wait to see this map. Blue as far as the eye can see!
-OBiden O8

it's all over – obama in a landslide!

too early to hit the panic button yet. dont forget that there is going to be a series of debates still and if mccain and palin can win these , the gop has a good chance to take this one. dont forget the palin factor too, so all is not doom and gloom.

Ok, we are getting down to the wire. Obama will pull away from the main stream and McCain will be history on Nov. 4th.

There is no way the American people can continue to stand for the someone being out of touch with the local politics. It takes a community organizer to understand the everyday working people. we can no longer afford to have 4 more years of the last 8 years.

More and more people have lost their life savings in the past week and the worst has not come as of yet. The U.S. was once the power house of nations, now we are being viewed in the world as fat cats getting rich off of the least of ours. What is up with that notion? We have got to move onward with a president that is willing to restore basic fundamental principles of governing. The far right ...extreme will not work today. To many people have lost their jobs to big business shipping them overseas to countries that pay their people 1/4 of the pay of the US worker. We have people losing their homes because the mortage crisis is REAL. Unemployment rate is higher than ever and not every American is accounted for in these stats, only people counted are those who are collecting unemployment, what about all those people out that struggling just to find a job that have exhausted their benefits?

We need Change and we need leadership that is willing to focus on the basics.

Go Obama/Biden.

There you go again with the FUZZY MATH !

John McBush – Dick Palin 08 !

Obama and Obiden. What a ticket. You got to watch men who smile at you while they are selling you a bill of goods. Reminds me of two car salesmen.

I am a new Virginia resident and can't wait to cast my vote for Obama! I moved from the state hit the hardest (Michigan) and as a former automotive engineer I, along with my husband, will definitely cast our votes for Obama in the wonderful state of Virginia.

Go Obama!

Come on VA .. Let's Go OBama 08

Americans are wiser now .... they see what the repugs will do as the last eight years almost of Republicans have devastated our Country. You know we are doing bad when the Iran President gives us advice, good advice at that .... he stated we should take care of home ... yes take care of the domestic issues. Folks in the Red states are losing their jobs and homes too.... time are hard and getting worst.... we got to do what is necessary and that is get a Democrate into office.... No way, No how, No McCain = McBush = Bush 3rd year <== do you think we can sustain that? I think not!

Obama and Biden 2008!

"From my NYC hotel room, I can see Chinatown, Little Italy, and Little Ukraine! Golly, this trip to NYC sure was a swell one. I will be an expert in foreign policy in no time, Charlie!"

.

The math still looks like this:

Obama+Biden = Dumb and Dumber = Socialist Nation = Loss of all personal liberty and income = DISASTER!!!

please tell bill and hillary to stay home, it's ovious they are still pouting over hillarys loss., poor losers.

Obama now leads McCain among likely voters by 52 percent to 43 percent, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Maybe now Americans are finanly waking up

"From my NYC hotel room, I can see Chinatown, Little Italy, and Little Ukraine! Golly, this trip to NYC sure was a swell one. I will be an expert in foreign policy in no time, Charlie!"

Comin' to get ya, McCreep...better get your war on!!

You're gonna get spanked by the minority guy!!

MCCAIN AND HIS COHORT PALIN ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS. HE NEEDS TO BACK TO ARIZONIA WHERE HIS BRAIN CAN BAKE SOMEMORE IN THE HEAT AND SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO MOOSE COUNTRY AND COOK MOOSE BURGERS IF THAT IS POSSIBLE JIM HALL KANSAS CITY MISSOURI.

When giving times, could we get a timezone next to them? Please?

Get rid of the Bum team- sick of Cain and Pain.
Get rid of the drama and the drama queen.
You think Americans are stupid?
Get rid of this trash.

That will be real funny (GIDGET Leaves ALASKA) , Have sarah coming out of a rally and media standing there, then she sees them and starts running, jumping in a car, then she shows up again at another place getting out of the car and the media comes from around a building and she starts running again with senile Mcsame standing there saying, ( MY FRIENDS, MY FRIENDS, don't bother her she doesn't know where she is, now that would be funny as hell!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN (08)

GOBAMA!!!

Va will turn blue. We are tired of McShame and Palin. Palin is a joke. Everything she has said so far has been a lie. She is a flake.

Everyone has not been polled. Obama will take Virginia.

Here is what "Jim's Poll Extraordinaire" says, McCain is leading in majority of the states, especially in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Virginia and Michigan. It is as reliable as all the polls out there, and I did not have to spend a dime to conduct it.
Publish this and I expect a lot of comments.

NC is a state filled with really great, decent, kind, respectful, honest, patriotic Americans so Obama cannot win that one. However, Virginia is being infested by the worst people in America from the DC metro area moving there and giving more and more votes to the immoral, hateful, dishonest, anti-American liberal Democrats.

Everyone needs to know that this is all about color, Red Vs. Blue that is, not the lies that the lib media is telling you. The good people of this nation who are honest, do the right thing, support their own families, give to the takers through insane taxes, and want this nation to prosper and be its best must unite and understand that a socialist in the White House might be a nice wake up call to save our nation in the long term. However, this nation may not survive 4 years of Obama, and worst of all, we may not have the oppertunity to vote him out when that right among many others we hold dear, are taken from us from the left.

Just read their posts, do you not think a majority of Democrats don't want at the very least the rights of Americans who disagree with them stripped away? I think at this point it is clear that they want us exterminated as well. The average liberal Democrat is more against a conservative American than they are an Al Queda terrorist, they now admit to this, they don't even try to hide it. Wake up before it is too late.

The only thing I know is that the last time we listened to the pundits and talking heads in conservative media, we ended up with George Bush. Enough said.

WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN . WE LOVE THE OBAMA /BIDEN TICKETS .

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

John "What Obama Said But I Said It First" McCain has been one step behind at every turn from the beginning.

Someone witht he judegment to pick Palin as VP surely cannot lead this country anywhere but in the same direction Bush has.

LIAR LIAR – PANTS ON FIRE!!!
Last I heard – OBAMA was UP UP UP UP by 3 points OVER mcSAME!! That's right – keep showing these polls that "MAKE BELIEVES" mcSAME is ahead!!!! OBAMA will win in VA because I ALONE – registered over 76 people and our registration is UP by over 280,000!!!

EVERYONE IS IN FOR A "RUDE AWAKENING" – YOUR POLLS "ARE NOT" POLLING "PEOPLE LIKE ME"....

OBADEN 2008-2016 YES WE CAN

Warning! Warning!! American is still divided by ideology. But if Obama doesn't win.., it must be because American's are racists.(LMAO)

CNN, you always seem to anxious to let the voters know when Obama is either ahead or closing the lead held by McCain but we hardly ever hear the same when its McCain. I am now tired of your bias against McCain and I am disappointed that a media outlet such as CNN is so totally absorbed on the Obama side. Why does CNN not come right out and say that they endorse Obama so we will know then that's why the reporting is so one-sided. When we do see reports on McCain/Palin they are always so negative that I don't even read them anymore. The same way your reporters can go and dig up negative reports on Palin why don't CNN really, really start probing in Obama's background.

With this investigation going on now by the FBI regarding Wall Street, I am sure there are alot of democrats and also Obama's campaign people are worried because there may be things out there that we have not heard of as yet. Let's see which side is going to be involved in this corruption.

Why are we talking about this when our "misunderstood" friend from Iran is talking trash on our own soil? Does this not concern anyone?

SS, I am a Republican, and I hate to agree with you. My party has been so busy trying to attract the bigot vote until we have lost sight of our fundamentals. I never thougth I would see the day when the Democrats not only had a higher moral ground, but just right all the way around.

Republicans who will not go home because of McCain and Palin. Go Obama.

OHIO and INDIANA – REDEEM YOURSELVES!! You voted TWICE for Bush – haven't you learned ANYTHING?

Obama/Biden – if America is to survive....

Wow. Looks like the people of Virginia are getting smart like they are in other states. People aren't fooled by the McLiar & Daily Scandal Palin campaign's bs lies.

I just saw a poll that Obama is up in virgina by 4. I think CNN is trying to be Fox news. good-bye CNN, Hello MSNBC.

JUST SAY NO TO MCCAIN /PALIN Virginia !

Even Bill Clinton praises John McCain and his running mate. Use your heads Virginians and figure out who will best steer us out of this mess. No time for amateurs.

Obama won't take Virginia. These polls are leaving a lot of people out that really do not like Obama.

I MEANT TO SAY HIS LATE GRAND FATHER WAS A MUSLIM AND HIS GRANDMOTHER WHO IS ALIVE WAS A CHRISTAIN.

I am not surprised with the poll. I think the Obama/Biden campaign machince is very well oiled. Wait for more surprises in the next few weeks

CNN WHY ARE YOU NOT REPORTING THAT McCAIN'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER WAS TAKING 15 GRAND A MONTH UP UNTIL LAST MONTH! ALL THE WHILE McCAIN WAS SAYING HE WAS NOT. LIAR! CNN DO YOUR JOB! PRETEND IT WAS OBAMA CAUGHT IN THIS HUGE SCANDAL AND REPORT IT! McCAIN TELLS SO MANY LIES BECAUSE KNOWS THE MEDIA WILL GLOSS OVER THEM AND INSTEAD TALK ABOUT SARAH PALIN'S POPULARITY. I CAN'T WAIT TIL THIS ELECTION IS OVER SO I CAN STOP WATCHING CABLE NEWS FOREVER!

I don't get it. These polls cannot be true. Can this many people really
vote for a lying, trickster, and listen to the Republicans for years to come. OMG. This cannot be true!!!!.

By the way, has Bill Clinton turned Republican? He sounds like it!!!.

Obama-Biden or sink 2008

Let's not forget that Iran and Russia is rooting for an Obama win! I wonder why?

For us VA volunteers this news is like blood in the water for hungry sharks.

We're not stopping 'til we close this state out!

OBAMA/BIDEN/WARNER 08

In Virginia, we have a democratic governor(Tim Kaine), a great new democratic senator(Jim Webb), and about to elect our former democratic governor(Mark Warner) to the U.S. Senate. I don't understand how some of you people who are not even from VA can comment on what is going to happen in the commonwealth. The more I look around at my fellow virginians, they are ready for change. There are Obama/Biden signs in almost all the front yards I come across. Virginia staying red........Impossible!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON/WARNER

It's so funny to me to see all the pundits fall all over themselves over states that are close. Guess what? TEXAS isn't going to be red this year either. I know what the "polls" say, but I live in TX and it's nowhere near the blowout Republicans think it's going to be.

I am so proud of all the efforts to push our battleground state of Colorado to Obama. You can make the difference Virginia; our nation is counting on you!!!!

Yep, i think it's time... GO BLUE!!!

Virginia – PLEASE PROTECT AMERICA – VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN! Virginia – you have the fate of the future of America in your hands. Please don't look at race – please think about all of our kids future. We can't keep fighting wars, killing our men and women, and bankrupting our country in war after war. McCain is offering a smokes-screen. CNN reported last night that McCain's economic plans will increase the deficit by 300 Billion, whereas Obama's will increase it by 14 Billion. The math is the math, can't argue with the facts. Obama's tax cuts are higher for those making LESS than $100,000 a year and higher for those making MORE than $250,000. McCain's plans keep giving to the rich and less to the poor.

HEY MIKE........ THE #23 :

First of all, please learn how to spell you candidate's name, its, McCain.

Secondly, Bill Clinton has never endorsed McCain! I don't know what propaganda you are listening to (AM radio no doubt).

And last, most of us voting for Sen. Obama, are voting for him because the Republicans have left us with a DISASTER!

MIKE, let me make a list for you:

1. As of today, $11.5 TRILLION DOLLARS OF NATIONAL DEBT, OWED TO CHINA.......THE SAUDIS (YOU KNOW THE ONES THAT ATTACK US ON 9/11!) AND DUBAI.

2. BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN & GOP LIED......... LIED TO GET US INTO A WAR WITH IRAQ.

3. WE ARE STILL SPENDING ..........$1.38 BILLION.......A..........DAY.......IN IRAQ!

4. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF 2008, WE HAVE LOST 600,000 JOBS AND COUNTING.

5. WALL STREET BANKS AND CEO'S WILL GET THEIR BAIL OUT, WHILE .........MILLIONS........OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS LOSE THEIR HOMES!

6. THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR BANKRUPTCY IN OUR NATION IS .......MEDICAL BILLS...... BUT WALL STREET WHO GAVE ITS EMPLOYEES MILLIONS IN BONUSES JUST LAST DECEMBER GET BAILED OUT!

I COULD GO ON .........MIKE........ THESE ARE A FEW REASONS WHY SNE. OBAMA IS BEING SO WIDELY SUPPORTED.

WE .........ARE............SICK........AND...........TIRED........!

Despite McCain's disgraceful and insulting campaign, he does seem to change positions repeatedly. McCAIN ALWAYS WAS A POOR STUDENT, A SLOW LEARNER, BUT EVENTUALLY HIS EYES ARE OPENED, HE SEES THE WISDOM OF OBAMA'S JUDGMENT AND HIS POSITIONS, WHICH McCAIN ULTIMATELY PARROTS, AS HE TRIES TO SAY HE'S NOT A REAL REPUBLICAN, AND THAT PALIN IS THE MOST WONDERFUL VP NOMINEE IN U.S. HISTORY.

Maybe McCain and especially Palin aren't ready for prime time, but if Obama's platform is adopted by them on a regular basis, and if they play follow the leader – then PERHAPS OBAMA (and the Democrats) DESERVE THE CONFIDENCE OF THE NATION TOO!

It has also been reported that the White House and Iraq had agreed on an early troop withdrawal timeline. However, the White House came back and asked to delay the withdrawal for another year due to political considerations at home. CNN, why are you not covering the biggest loaded gun in history??? If I had a family member that died in Iraq as a result of this decision, I would sue the pants off the government!!!! CNN probably won't print this because it would adversely affect McCain, but the truth will come out anyway.

This is a very serious issue and Bush and whoever was involved should do jail time.

The Republicans have run this country into the ground. Any person who can't see this is part of the problem and must share the responsiblity of our children and grandchildren having to pay for the this Republican War and now this Republican financial melt down!

Warning! Warning!! McCain and Obama are in a statisical dead heat and that's bad news for McCain..(eyes rolling)

All I have to say is WOW !

You Obama supports are sure big on the word ""Lies" these days. A word to the wise; be careful when you start calling true American heroes, "Liars" with such self-righteousness. Its like those self-righteous anti-war protesters in the Vietnam era who got so carried away with being against the war...that they spat on US soldiers coming home from 'Nam.

Lighten up ! Face it, McCain has EARNED our respect.

I personally think that Obama is a good guy. I don't plan on voting for him, but I see a lot of good things that he has to offer. I'm a bit stunned that so many of you Obama supporters are so so self-righteous. Your candidate may win...but you all have acted disgracfully in the process.

Frightening. It show that people really do want mediocrity in government when they support a team consisting of an angry, forgetful veteran and a minimally-educated religious fanatic.

This race is not going to be a close race. Barrack Obama is going to be the next President of the United State of America. Every signs points to that reality.
Majority of Americans, blacks, latinos, asians, native americans and most especially whites americans are smart and reasonable people who will go to the polls on november the 4th and put the skeptics to shame. They will vote for the better candidate(BARRACK OBAMA).

YES WECAN!!
YES WE WILL!!

AND 1 DAY AFTER THE ELECTION.....

YES WE DID!!!

I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE PARTY

HOW BADLY IS ALL THE POSTERS IN HERE HURTING FOR FOOD AND WORRIED THAT THEY WILL NOT EAT TOMORROW. OBVIOUSLY NO ONE BECAUSE YOU ARE PAYING 40 TO 50 A MONTH FOR INTERNET SERVICE AND 70 TO 80 FOR YOUR CELL PHONE. PLEASE PEOPLE WAKE UP!!! HOW BAD FINANCIALLY ARE YOU? WE ARE A PEOPLE THAT CAN BE PERSUADED TO THINK THE WAY THEY(MEDIA) WANT US TO THINK . I AM NOT RICKH BY ANY STRETCH BUT I CANT AFFORD THE AMMENITIES THAT I AM SURE ALL OF US IN HERE HAVE AS WELL. SO QUICK SPILLING YOUR LIBERAL ECONOMICS ON HOW BAD IT IS NOW. IF A DEMOCRAT WAS PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE YOU COULDNT AFFORD TO POST THESE STUPID COMMMENTS.
OBAMA WILL MAKE IT WORSE-MARK MY WORDS!!!

I really dont think this is accurate info..We just recieved info on ALL the richmond area news stations that the polls show Obama has a 51% – 45% advantage in the state. The only area McCain had a margin is in the Shenandoah area. Here is the article.....

CBS 6 Exclusive: Obama Widens Lead in Virginia

Posted: Sep 22, 2008 06:09 PM EDT

In an election for President of the United States in Virginia today, 6 weeks from Election Day, Democrat Barack Obama edges Republican John McCain, 51% to 45%, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll CBS 6 WTVR. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll released one week ago, Obama is up 1 point; McCain is down 1 point; compared to a SurveyUSA poll two weeks ago, Obama is up 4, McCain is down 4.

Virginia hasn't gone Democratic in the race for president since 1964.

This latest poll shows Obama with a 21 point advantage in Northern Virginia, 10 in Southeast Virginina, and 4 in Central Virginia.

McCain leads by 14 points in the Shenandoah.

Obama leads among younger voters, McCain leads among older voters.

McCain holds 83% of Conservatives. Obama holds 86% of Liberals. But Obama leads by 28 points among Moderates, and on that Virginia battlefield, the contest may be decided.

I don't know what the press is waiting for... people are already voting via abstentee ballot. They can get some hard evidence to show in some post-voting poll evidence now. This show has gotten started – and we are in for a long haul.

Hey Lou– Check your facts. You wrote, "I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary ..."

Barack Obama took VA by a very comfortable margin, sweeping the Beltway primaries that day.

DO NOT BE SURPRISED IF OBAMA WINS NC, AND VIRGINIA.

NEITHER RACISM, BIGOTRY, NOR FEAR WILL PREVAIL THIS ELECTION YEAR!

YES WE CAN!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN

As a student at Virginia Tech, i can tell you were are doing everything we can to turn VA Blue!!! Yes We Can!!!
Obama 08!!!

Obama supporters please read your coments. Your vitriol is reminesent of Karl Rove. This is not a game and trying to belttile fellow Americans is not a good thing. I guese your idea of politcs af change is for the demacratic party to change into the Bush Republican party.
Its time to put America first and party second, So please as your mother might say think before you speak.
former Demacrate now Independent

Va. is my birth place, my family is still there, I talk to my family all the time and they tell me that they have never seen this much support for a presidential candidate in there live, they tell me all they see is OBAMA sticks and fliers everywhere. I live in Connecticut now and I can tell you that Ct. is going for Obama, you should see all the rallies and get togethers around here. We can not afford 4more years of this Republican crap, lies, corruption, and more wars.

Boy do I wish I lived in a swing state, or one that's potentially turning from red to blue! Alas, here I sit in SC, the reddest of the red, knowing my Obama vote won't help but casting it anyway. Folks in VA and other tight states, enjoy the importance of your vote and work to get new and unlikely voters registered and to the polls!

Polls are just polls nobody can really tell until elction day. Which McCain will win, because he's running on his political experience. Not his ethnicity

you liberals are crazy with your outrageous comments!!! I see why independents get turned off by the likes of you.

We can do this people. Fight hard against the little man with the Gidget doll. We can do this, YES WE CAN.

Obama/Biden 08

I love this! Obama is giving McCain a tough time on turf that McCain should automatically have in his win column. And now the financial scandal is working in Obama's favor. I love this!

You run away from issues to belittling people, you fail. We community organisers will continue working hard for the people.

Does it seem the media is leaning left? Is there more negativity written about McCain/Palin? Could there be a reason? (i.e. that ticket has done more negative things). The media's life is filled day after day with what is going on in the USA . I would say they are more knowledgable than most about what government and officials have been doing these past years. Maybe they too have seen the light. Repulicans, we gave you eight years to govern. Admit it, you did a terrible job. Now you have to go. I'll vote to give someone else a chance because you tricked me twice and NEVER AGAIN.

It really comes down to voting for the lesser of who cares? Both candidates are global interventionists who will keep our troops deployed in places they are not needed (i.e. Japan, Korea, Europe), neither will secure the border, neither will submit Justices that will overthrow Roe v. Wade, neither will make English the national language, neither will change the free trade policies that allow Japan to impose tariff's on American goods while we do not do so. America needs a nationalist party.

WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW...... You Suck!!!

Your an IDIOT and some other CHOICE WORDS and you OBVIOUSLY cant recognize the TRUTH if it smacked you in the face.

You speak with NO MERIT or EVIDENCE to backup your FOOLISH rhetoric.
It probably pains you to think a man of color WILL BE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! So you want the rest of the country to suffer over you foolish beliefs. OH Well,

GET>>>>USED>>>>TO>>>>IT

President Barack Obama ....... Has A Nice Ring To It ....lol

We let out perfect leader go...

We are about to let a totally inexperienced person govern our nation in the most critical time in our history...

We ALL made the biggest mistake ever and we are in for four years of great "speeches" diverting us from all of the total blunders.

BIG MISTAKE.

Please SNL, do a skit on how fast Gidget runs from microphones. It's really funny.

Tommy, you are right on the money. McLame is scared of intelligent woman and surrounds himself with trophy women who won't challenge him. Cindy Lou looks like she can't breathe unless he gives his permission, and Gidget. Well....we know her story. Little girl leaves Alaska for the big bad world (the lower 48).

Obama/Biden 08

LOU WROTE:
I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment. I dont think the feelings for barac have changed that dramatically.

MY RESPONSE:
Not true, Obama beat Hillary in VA by 29 points. I still find it unlikely VA is going for Obama, but I can promise that if it goes Obama; the election is over.

Virginia didn't go double digits for Clinton in the primary. Obama won Virginia hands down. It was West Virginia he lost. Don't get it twisted.

GET over it white america, A BLACK MAN IS READY TO LEAD!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Republicans would vote for a cardboard cut out of Reagan.

I'm a Canadian citizen living in Toronto. My mother is a 62 yr-old woman, a US citizen who has lived in Canada for 40 years. My folks aren't very political; they follow politics, but not intently. My mother has never casted a vote in her life. But in a few days she is going to drive from her small town in Ontario to Toronto to register to vote for the first time. Her vote will be cast in the state of the last address where her parents lived. Virginia.

She has always admired John McCain, but felt that Sarah Palin was perhaps a weak choice for VP, and that her views on women's rights shoddy. And then my mother got morally offended. In their retirement, my folks have taken to "community organizing" and she decided that she had to do something after the Republicans at their convention belittled the work my folks and others like them do for others in their community. She has taken to helping adults who can't read to read. It is no laughing matter to them.

Next week she will register to vote as a Democrat, and cast the very first vote of her life for a black man, something she says she never thought she'd see happen in her lifetime in America. I didn't see this coming. I told her, "You know that Virginia tends to vote Republican even though it's really close this time, don't you?" and she said, "Well....it only needs to go blue by one!".

I couldn't be more proud, and I hope that on election night that Virginia is the key indicator of change coming into fruition and spreading across the entire country.

NO THINKING PERSON IS GOING TO PUT IN OFFICE THE

SAME PACK OF HYENAS THAT RAPED OUR ECONOMY, &

LED US INTO A WAR THAT MUTILATED OUR CHILDREN

AND DESTROYED OUR ECONOMY FOR NOTHING OTHER

THE MONETARY GAIN OF THE SLEAZY, GREEDY FEW.

* * * * * NO BAIL OUT FOR THEIR FRIENDS EITHER * * * * *

Thank you God!!! I pray every nite for Obama/Biden!!! They are the only hope the American people have!!! McCain has destroyed this country as Chairman of the Commerce Commission and ALL his deregulations for his rich cronnies!!! He should have gone to jail in the Keating 5 scandale but Cindy's money bought him out!!! NOT this time!!!! I'd like to see the FBI put some charges on McCain!!!
America is waking up!!! Fluff, stupidity and money will not save this country but intelegence and communication will!!! GO Obama/BIden

MINING

Virginia Coal Miners – we have mines up here Canada and we also have the Uinted Steel Workers

The republicans have hurt the mine industry and more importantly – the miners – THE PEOPLE!

- we know this – first hand!

GET RID OF THEM!

Let us do more mobilisation to take Ohio. i will be done.
Obama 08

How can we trust McSame to handle this economic meltdown? Isn't this the same person who was at the center of the savings & loan meltdown? Isn't this the same person who, for more than 26 years, has embraced deregulation like it was his grandma? Clearly, Sen. McCain does not have the track/voting record to install long-term market management controls.

McLame can't even make a good VP pick. He picked Sarah-Could-You-Be-More-Like-Gidget-Palin and we're supposed to sit back and say yes, McLame, that was a great choice.

She is an idiot, an no amount of cramming will prepare Gidget for taking on the WORLD. Wake up America and do the right thing for America and not your GOP party.

I would stick a microphone in Gidget's face everyday, if only to see the look of sheer panic in her eyes. She is not ready for prime time, really, she isn't. We've heard more from Cindy, than the VP. How lame is that? I'll tell you, that's John McLame lame.

Hey welcome from 10:42,
You say we can't trust Obama. Ok. Why? What policy positions that he's changed makes you say that? While you go scrounge up something on Rezko (proven untrue, even by the conservative Chicago Tribune), Ayers (Obama was 8 when Ayers was doing his thing – please), or whatever else, let's drop a little knowledge on McCain. Hmm, let's see.
Well, just today we see that McCain's campaign manager was getting paid by the same entity who is looking to be bailed out by your tax dollars. The same entity which didn't want regulation which is why they're now failing and the gov't has to take a socialist approach to bail them out.
Or, how about the Keating 5 scandal? McCain survived, but there were millions of Americans who lost a lot of money on ANOTHER financial scandal where McCain was involved in influence peddling.
More broadly, how about he being for deregulation "I'm a dergulator at heart" and his close frined Phil Gramm the architecht of dergulation in the late 90's, but NOW he's for regulation? Or
McCain defended “privatizing” Social Security. Now he says he’s against privatization (though he actually still supports it.) Or
how about trying to take credit for the GI Bill written by Sen. WEbb even though a) he specifically said he didn't support it and went to California to fundraise instead of going back to DC to vote one way or the other like every other Senator and b) actually sponsoring a competing bill?
Or, if you want to make it personal, how about trusting McCain on staying ture to his family and vows? I guess Carol, that'd be his first wife, wasn't worthy to stay true to?

So, you say McCain is trustworthy? There are just a few reasons why he isn't. YOur turn.
And, oh yeah, there a LOT of people in Dallas, in Houston, in SA, in the Valley, in East Texas who are all voting for Obama.

I think that many of the Virginians are right that the Red may turn Blue this election, there. I am in Florida which I am confident will stay red. Not a psychic, but called it in 2000 election, but had the wrong state in which the election rested. Had Gore beating Bush in '00 popular vote, but losing election. Obama will win by 2-3% points but lose the electoral college by 5 to 12 votes. One is factor of independent candidate Barr will have in states that McCain will win, and support will peel off and go for Barr to narrow the margin. Two other sources and reasons will be posted closer to the election. National polls mean nothing, watch states and the voter registration just might be skewed in some of the states. Independents aren't allowed to vote in Florida presidential primaries, so they had to pick a party if they wanted to vote. Just a thought.

I changed my vote from Obama to McCain. Please post this

Wait! Weren't you all the same people who, when McCain took a huge jump in the polls, said polls don't mean anything?

It is going to be one of, if not the closest races in history.

Come on Virginia and make to CHANGE, it is time for Bush/Palin/McCain to own up to their mistakes and lies.

The country need to improve by making the 180 degree turnaround, elect Obama/Biden.

To WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW-

Maybe you like to trust the people who are giving you the $700 billion bailout, or the S&L bailout, or Enron, or Bear Sterns. I guess in your book it's okay for the average American to be paying the bills for the mistakes of the rich. Maybe you be more comfortable with doubling the $700 billion bailout.
At what point do you call those THE MISTAKE OF A LIFETIME.

This is hilarious. I can not believe how leftist this website is. There's actually people reading these comments and cherrypicking the pro-Obama ones per the orders of the managers at CNN.

If my first comment gets posted I will be surprised. I know the media in general is traditionally liberal (except foxnews), and that's fine, but I wonder how much CNN or Ted Turner has given to the Obama campaign.

I love AMERICA......................

DON'T BE AFRAID ...........................CLOSE YOUR EYES AND VOTE FOR THE MOST INTELLECTUAL GUY THIS TIME.

DON'T BE AFRAID OF SOMEONE WHO HAS ACTUALLY WALKED IN YOUR SHOES...

DON'T BE AFRAID OF SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS A STAKE IN THE NORMAL AMERICAN FAMILY. (NOT THE RICH)

VOTE WHAT'S RIGHT..............ONLY "GOD" CAN BE OUR JUDGE NOT A REPUBLICAN PARTY......DON'T BE FOOLED.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I am an Obama supporter and I have to agree with Mike. It is very telling what Bill Clinton and Joe Biden are saying. I do respect the fact that Biden disagreed with ad attacking McCain's inability to use a computer, i questions his motivation for saying it on national television. Also, I am not convinced that the Clintons want Obama to win. I think they are doing just enough to make it look good. Bill Clinton is obviously still very mad at Obama and Hillary is just biding her time until 2012.

If the people taking these polls are the same ones calling me then these polls aren't worth anything. I long ago stopped answering the phone for 'out of the area', and 1800 calls. I think the people that have made up their mind aren't answering anymore so you are only getting the one that are curious, can't help themselves anwering the phone, no caller ID, or haven't made up their mind. Maybe 15-20% of voters. Hence the major swings in these polls.

To Mr. Obama show: Do you think the country is going in the RIGHT DIRECTION? We got here by electing your hometown boy. How's this for a solution, vote in Obama. If the country is not in a better place in 4 years, vote Republican again. Sound fair?

I saw Virginia on a map once, so that renders me qualified to generalize about every voter in every county, city and the entire state.

What a joke this election has become. Just like the last 8 years, you sheep will get exactly what you deserve.

Mike, maybe it took 23 tries to get your post through because it is all fiction. Try discussing facts and maybe your posts will go up faster.

"Lou" above posted something completely moronic stating that VA went to Hilary in the primaries by double digits! Everyone but Lou knows that the exact opposite happened. Lou please don't post anymore misinformation and CNN please screen this stuff out. Thanks.

Hey CNN...are you going to report on John Mccain's campaign manager Rick Davis and his involvement with the Freddie Mac scandal??!!!!

According to trhe New York Times and Newsweek His firm (Davis Manafort) was being paid $15000 dollars a month up until the end of last month (until Freddie Mac was bailed out by the goverment) to do NOTHING other than to get access to a potential future president Mccain!!!!! Mccain, if he had knowledge of such things should IMMEDATELY terminate his candidacy and if he didn't have prior knowledge should fire Rick Davis from his campaign and should be subsequently charged with fraud.

I agreed. Those paid bloggers from Obama camp are using CNN to make people believe that the whole world is with Obama. They are dead wrong! Almost 6 mil of Hillary supporters like me will not vote for him at all! I mean 30% of 18,000,000 cracks!

OMG, you mean I can't have my favorite president's policies back, just for 4 more years. I'm begging you America please vote for McCain so we can have 4 more years of misery and dismay. Four more years of George Bush Policies, please, America, please. I want to pay $9 a gallon for gas, I want to continue to torture people, I want the fat cats to get even richer on my tax dollars–NOT.

No one in their right mind is voting for McSame and I'm so glad America is getting smart.

Obama/Biden 08

Hey Mike...if you're such a huge McCain supporter.....please learn to spell his name.

McCain is big when it comes to being a liar. He is really a small man with a serious napoleonic complex who props up his shortcomings with trophy women.

Just the fact that Virginia is so close is saying a lot. Evidently many people in Virginia are not buying the Republican story any more.

Virginia used to be a secure Republican state. Not any more.

I think there is a real chance that Virginia can go Blue.

We are just not buying what McCain is selling

Stupid is not in style this election season in Virginia.

I can't wait until people are fed up with how the dems run things. Its not like they haven't controlled congress for the last few years.

@mike
hey bro, you might wanna consider spelling "writes" and "McCain" correctly when you're trying to insinuate everyone else is making un-educated decisions. you can't even spell the name of the man you're promoting.

Obama all the way, McShame is done.

And for the ones who think Obama will hurt because of the racist voters, well think again. The new voters and young voters will make historic records. Also, some of the voters who say they won't vote for Obama while they are getting polled, will vote for him. Remember you don't have to declare your party in the general election only in the primary you did. A lot of voters who were polled and lied about not voting for Obama will. See it is about the economy and money don't have no other color but green on it!!! And this mess we are in now sure don't help Mccain and his cronies!!!

Come on Virginia, Florida, Missouri, Michigan, and others. We NEED the Democrats back in office.

Jobs Gone, Economy Failin; Vote Against McCain/Palin

Obama/Biden '08&12
Clinton/Sebelius '16/' '20

*Cnn PLEASE Post this, I bet you You Won't though. Why do you hate me?*

Mike, I don't like how President Clinton says "I understand why she's hot out there" in speaking of Gov. Palin. I think he's looking at her, while conveying perhaps that people see her as a real option as leader of the free world.

I certainly think she's attractive, and I'm sure Bill would like to add her to his trophy list. But, Palin has lost a lot of luster since her unveiling.

She is not transparent (perhaps not her fault, but she's not talking to the media)
She's not honest when she talks about being a reformer (Bridge to nowhere where she kept money for a project she was initially for, and campaigned for and then turned around and changed her mind when everyone also was against it)
She's under investigation meaning she brings baggage that isn't needed after the fiasco we've had with President Bush and VP Cheney in all of their secret meetings and hiding behind executive priviledge.

So, I agree that Bill may be still upset that Hillary didn't win. He certainly could be helping to prop up Obama more, but I don't think he believes in any way that McCain is the guy to lead us out of the problems we currently have. Nice try though.

GO VIRGINIA!!!! You can do it....We are counting on you to come through for us.

Here's one Virginia who won't be voting for the liar McCain!

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Obama is a hypocrite too. Most politicians are. If this is the scoreboard you use to pick your President, I would suggest finding a new one.

OBAMA WILL TAKE VIRGINIA & THE VOTE OF

EVERY DECENT WORKING AMERICAN. JUST

LOOK AT WHAT BUSH & MCBUSH HAVE DONE.

AND FOLKS THE WORST IS YET TO COME. AND

THERE SHOULD BE NO BAIL OUT UNTIL THE

NEW PRESIDENT IS IN. TO GIVE THE SAME SCUM

BAGS $700 BILLION OF OUR DOLLARS IS LIKE ASKING

A CONVICTED CHILD MOLESTER TO BABYSIT YOUR

YOUR CHILDREN. THEY ARE THE CAUSE OF IT ALL AND

NOW REWARD THEM WITH A BAIL OUT. THEY CAN GO TO HELL.

All of you who think that the primary vote is somehow a reflection of the public at large better look at your political science texts again.

Those who turn out for primaries include engaged party members, and they also include the most rabid members on both sides. They are an indicator but not a measure of future vote tallies in the general election.

When Mr and Mrs Guy-on-the-Street get into that voting booth, America turns out to be a pretty right-wing place. So, don't hold your breath until Obama gets the nod.

Instead, spend your energy on those Congressional races.

Mcwinky... LMAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupidity breeds stupidity. How on earth can any person with a brain of any kind bash Obama for reading from a teleprompter if they have seen McCain speak? Good lord people!!! All he does is look down! What DO you think McDang is looking at down there?? Geez!

The good people of Virginia are tired of the same ol' politics. We need a fresh face in washington...we nned a leader who thinks like us and knows what is best for our families, and will fight for our jobs. to many factories ahve closed, to many families struggling to make ends meet. I truly believe Obama can help direct this country in a forward motion. We are white, blacks and inter racials and we're proud!....we believe inworking together for a common goal and i think tha tis what the democrats are offering. Obama represents the future in many ways and not just the first black president and may God protect him and his fmaily~

CNNs' polls would have had a Dukakis,Kerry,Gore presidency! Of course,this never happened.Projection by leftists,is a strategy for the stupid and ignorant! WOW!! CNN says B.Husein obama is leading ,we better vote for him! tHIS IDIOCY AND LIES ARE PATENT LIBERAL PLOYS!!

I truly hope Virginia goes blue!

As someone who has lived in Indiana their whole life, I am SHOCKED to see that Indiana is thinking about going blue! It's so close, and I think we just might, since the polls don't account for a lot of the young voters that are pretty mobilized here!

This is one girl from a very red state who is working to make it blue!

Obama/Biden '08!

This is just another poll...McCain will be fine!!!

Hey people why dont we tell congress THANKS BUT NO THANKS TO THE BAILOUT FOR THE RICH GREEDY CORRUPT CEOS! and on NOV 4 we can say THANKS BUT NO THANKS to the lying pandreing frauds lobbyisit loving gonna sell america out to the lobbyisit PALIN/MCCAIN and say YES WE CAN TAKE AMERICA BACK TO OBAMA/BIDEN08!!!

ya, ANYONE actually FROM VA in here? let's get some input!

Nice Jim. ^^^

Stop wasting time making comments. Go back to work!

The bridge to no where was built before Palin was in office, why can't the Dem. get there facts straight, brobably because they are so used to lying they can;t tell the truth. Yes, I have recieved calls from the McCain camp, but not from Obama. But you know what I will vote for McCain anyway, because he is the most qualified. Where does all these so called Polls comming from, I think they are made up by the Dem.

C'mon Virginia and hop aboard the O-train! Everyone should be sick and tired of being sick and tired of the republicans. Eight years people and exactly WHAT was ACCOMPLISHED! I DARE a single person to post WHAT are some of this administrations ACCOMPLISHMENTS a single attaboy warranted. All of the people who paraded for TWO terms with Bush/Cheney bumper stickers must feeling pretty stupid. All talk, All hype, no substance, no results. Even your children should feel ashamed for you and for your ignorance and inability to think for yourselves as so-called adults.

CNN has been removing Republican responses. This is to the point of swaying public opinion and suppressing my right to free speech. There are records of emails that can verify this in case of a lawsuit CNN.

Obama and McCain are clueless when it comes to the economy I wish Bloomberg was running for president.

Hey Obamites, just wait for the result on the night of the election before bragging your victory to the world! I had seen the polls ahead of some states for Obama and he lost misserly over Hillary!

The Roanoke Times (here IN Va) has Obama up by 3.

president barack is going to win virginia.

The so call Palin affect has deflected!! LOL. The media needs to boycott her photo opts for real. Put the GOP feet to the fire. They only had 29 seconds access to Palin on yesterday, when she met with some of the world leaders. It she can't answer questions by the median then she don't need to be in the media!! Americans are tired of the GOP playing games. If she is to be ready on day one, then she needs to answer questions. This is the most important position in the world!! I

It's his lack of knowledge on the economy

I just hope everyone supporting Obama/Biden get out and vote & is not just giving lip action. This man has so much against him because of some peoples problem with his skin color. WE must get him elected!!!!!

A lot of people despairing these days and Obamas 'chicken-little' speeches are very appealing. if you were a sucker who bit off more than you could chew then you will love Obama. If you want to protect the thousands of illegal immigrants who were given loans by banks like bank of America to buy homes they could not afford – vote Obama.

RE: Mike (Attempt #23)

Shame on you for trying (very poorly) to spin what ended up being honest admissions from both President Clinton and Senator Biden. Both of those statements from those gentleman were something that you don't normally see from the Republican side, that of a person willing to speak "honestly" and "freely" about something that does coincide with their party talking points. The fact that they are even allowed to speak freely says volumes when you consider the what McCain-Palin camp is showing us.

Is McCain qualified to be president? Sure. Would almost anyone with any sense agree with that? I would think so.

Can a person who voted and continues to support the policies of the last eight years honestly say that they are going to be bring change? I don't see how...

Voting for either Republican or Democrat will ensure more of the same. Both parties are at fault for our current problems and neither is will to do what it takes to fix it. To get true change requires use of an old American standby – revolution. Vote independent or vote for more of the same.

Thanks but no thanks, thanks but no thanks. The "Bridge to Nowhere" may have been shelved. But the "Road to Nowhere" is alive and well. Kinda shoots her argument in the foot.

MSN.com ran a very disturbing piece about how the Republicans will try to use the rise in foreclosure to their advangtage by challenging whether or not voters are registered in the correct precint. They started this in the primary season in Indiana by requiring that voters show state issued ID's along with their voter registration cards. If the address on the ID doesn't match the voters address at the time of registration they won't be allowed to vote. They are targeting counties that have a large minority population, which subsequently the foreclosure crisis has hit the hardest. This is a direct challenge to the 15th Amendment, and the the RETHUGLICANS have been doing this for years. It happened in Florida in 2000, Ohio in 2004, and they are now targeting Cayuhoga County Ohio, and Michigan so far in this election season.

and google the MSN report entitled "Jim Crow" If we allow voter disenfranchisement to occur than we're no different than the dictators we war against.

Do you really think that the landscape will look the same come election day? The polls will ebb and flow right up until Nov 4. For either side to celebrate a poll lead in a state 6 weeks out is a bit premature.

I know CNN will not publish this but I am like Mike 9:51 am ET.
All CNN wants is Obama people on this site and they delete all McCain voters. The young voters, gullible voters, and media are going to distroy this country. Mike there is nothing we can do about it.
Ditto to everything you wrote. It's a shame this country is just about to make THE MISTAKE OF A LIFETIME and there is nothing that will change it. Everyone I know in Texas is voting for McCain except for a very few except the voters in Austin. McCain will win Texas.
There has got to be something that can be done to wake up the Obama supporters. Trust Me Obama Cannot Be Trusted!!!!!!!!!

We live in the best country on earth. The voters here have had enough of Bush/McCain policies and the Obama/Biden ticket will prevail for the good of the country.

Sarah, it's getting cold down here in the lower 48.
GOP, prepare for 16 years of winter, MY Friends!!!!!

-Lou

I don't know what primary you watched. Sen. Obama won this state by a significant margin. He blew out Sen. Clinton & McSame here. The commonwealth will be turning blue this year.

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON/WARNER

These are good numbers and I hope the gap will increase or at least mantain till Nov 4 for Obama. However, I am still thinking of 2004. Dems had everything to win and lost. Do not "missunderestimate" McCain and keep an eye on the white rural, uneducated, anti-intelectual, fear-mongering and racist America.

It been a known fact (but NOBAMAMITES refuse to believe it) that out of the people poled, 54% are democrats anyhow. What would you expect them to say? Try poling an even amount of democRATS and republicans and see which way the wind blows!! CNN has been blatently obvious on their wanting NOBAMA to win! So much for "unbiased" reporting.

Bring this War to an End. That will free up a lot of capital.

Why is CNN not reporting more on the fiasco that is McCain's soon-to-be fired campaign manager? Let's hear some real news, please!

Man, if the voters can EVER get past their racist belief systems. It's a great evil that is taught everywhere today (so the TEACHERS share the blame as well), and is exerting evil influence daily. lol

McCain/Palin/Bush = Hitler!

Destroyed the courts,
Destroyed the economy,
Took away rights,
Spied on people,
Started Wars!
Wrecked a Nation!

Enough is enough

Say no to

More War McCain &
Taliban Palin

(1) Obama initiated his IL Senate campaign in the home of a man, William Ayers, who bombed the NY Police Headquarters and the Pentagon. Before this, Obama was chair of Ayers' education program (the Chicago Annenberg Challenge) - Ayer's second method to destroy the U.S. - educating the youth to hate the U.S., chaired by Obama.

(2) Obama spent 20-years in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's congregation, which preaches hate. When Wright's controversial sermons become public, Obama repudiated him. If Obama was not running for president, he would still be attending Wright's congregation.

(3) Obama voted 4 times to deny medical care to human beings who survive the abortion procedure. He said this creates an undue "burden" on the woman's original decision. Obama believes the woman's decision must be carried to completion, no matter the circumstances: In the womb or already born.

Is this the type of man we want leading the U.S.???

Because of racist attitudes among some in this country Obama will have to be up by 10 points nationally to win this election. Despite Obama's lack of experience he should be running away with this election when you consider the competition and the mess the Republicans have gotten the country into. This morning they interviewed 2 white families from Virginia on the Today show about the election. The family who appeared more educated and had white collar jobs were for Obama because they said that McCain meant just more 4 more years of Bush. The other family who were clearly blue collar and had actually voted for Clinton in the primary were voting for McCain. Their reason was that they felt we needed more experience while at war. Whats the difference between Clinton and Obama, not much. These people will prefer to vote for more of the same which has been the worst in this nation's history instead of giving who is clearly the better candidate and who will reverse the direction the country has been going in a look simply because he's black. Blue collar whites have so little that they want to hold onto it by making sure that minorities don't get what little they have left. At the same time the Republicans and the wealthy are coming in the backdoor and taking it anyway. You can't blame the wealthy for the state of this country what they do is human nature. These poor dumb people who think that they have to keep everyone who dosen't look like them at bay are the reason the Republicans are able to redistribute wealth from the poor to the rich and those poor dumb _astards are too recist blinded to see it. So go ahead and vote for McCain. Lets have more war. Like George Carlin once said. " The only reason we have wars is so that old guys can send young guys out to die so that they can keep their stuff'. It has nothing to do with preserving democracy or to protect your family. Its just rapped that way.

September 24th, 2008 9:46 am ET

I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment. I dont think the feelings for barac have changed that dramatically.

I see Virginia being Red – especially now with Palin on the ticket. Those hunting and military guys out there just LOVE this lady
==

Interestingly how they LOVE the lady but HATE themselves and the country! With America at the lowest of the low, shouldn't everyone rather love the country and the good rather than LOVE a lady because she loves to shoot Caribou in White Alaska? Well, tell me when America is finally sold to the highest bidder, hopefully, McLiar and Sarah PalHunter would be the first to be sold!

I live in Virginia Beach VA, southern right part of the state not in the know. Anyway, we have a huge military present and all I can say is that VA will go blue this year! I see more and more yard Obama signs than I do McLie signs.
I am one proud ObamaBOT!!!!!!!!

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

Just a few months ago this was looking like an Obama coronation, if you believed the media. Now it's a real state-by-state contest. Doesn't sound like McCain's doing all that terrible to me. Obama may end up winning this, but he'd better pay attention to the results. A win is not the same as a mandate, and the 49% that doesn't vote for him will be looking for more than rhetoric. A lot of us are more concerned with the issues facing this country than with thinking up clever names to post on comment forums.

I can't afford to move away, but if McCain takes this I sure would want to, and then to think of Palin being that heartbeat away. I feel like I"m watching a comagedy: You don't know whether to laugh or cry.

The last 8 years have gotten so old, that we need a new word for old. I guess that would be "McCain," and by old, I don't mean his age.

@ John in Ohio –

Yeah, I feel your frustration. I'm here in Cincy. The situation looks fairly decent for us in the urban areas, but the rural corn and soybean folk are still clinging. The only thing that we can do is to continue to get undecided people on board and make the attempt to register as many others as possible. It's going to be close. But I do comprehend your frustration that Indiana and Virginia are going stronger for Obama than we are. Let's not get down about it and just do what we have to do. It was never going to be a cakewalk in Ohio anyway.

Mike,

It's John McCain. No "E" at the end of his name.

...jesus.....

Come on VA, don't f this up. America is counting on you guys.

SARAH PALIN AND HER HUSBAND ARE DANGEROUS AND MUST NEVER GET TO THE WHITEHOUSE. MCCAIN MADE THE WORST PICK IN HIS LIFE FOR THIS WOMAN. HE SHOWED HIS LACK OF JUDGEMENT IN MAKING THIS HORRIABLE MISTAKE AND SHOWS HOW HE CAN .NOT BE TRUSTED WITH OUR GOVERNMENT.
BOTH MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE LIERS. BOTH ARE POWER HUNGRY AND WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN THE WHITEHOUSE. PALIN WILL WALK ALL OVER MCCAIN AS SOON AS SHE IS ELECTED AND WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY TO A NEW LOW THAT WE HAVE NEVER SEEN.OBAMA MUST BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT FOR THE US TO SURVIVE THIS REALITY SHOW THAT PALIN/MCAIN HAVE CREATED.

Cool! I went to high school in Viriginia and was always impressed by the people. Sounds like they are making the right decision to go blue!

Obama/Biden 08

please go to barackobama.com and donate. Every dollar counts and we need to keep Barack on the top so that he can focus more on campaigning rather than fundraising.

he wont win virgina but he will win the election!

The tide is finally turning! I wonder how Texas is going to turn out, because I know here in SA I have seen more Obama stickers than McCain. And to be quite honest I have only seen 2 McCain stickers around town. OBAMANOS people let's devastate the electoral map and turn Texas BLUE!! It's way overdue!!

Why would America REWARD complete Republican failure ?

We wont.

I find is difficult to believe that anyone would want to vote for McCain. He's old, not with the times, he is a war monger, for market deregulation, Google Keating Five, his VP has no experience, and should he die in office, which could very well happen, how would this country survive? He makes knee jerk decisions, has a terrible temper, doesn't respect women, calls his wife the 'C' word, is a philanderer, cheated on his first wife and left her. And he lies.

Get your facts straight, Lou. You said:
I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment. I dont think the feelings for barac have changed that dramatically.

Obama won Virginia 63% to Hillary's 35%. So those bitter folks in VA were still smart enough to vote for him. If you're not intelligent enough to be well-informed, don't post BS and make yourself look like a moron!

VIRGINIA IS BORN AGAIN!!!

I will make my case one more time on CNN. Readers can take it or leave it. This is just my opinion.

I was a supporter of John McCain back in 2000. I thought by far he represented of this country well. He was a man with honor and integrity. It definitely helped that he served in the military. Let's fast forward to the primary 2008.

During a debate at the Ronald Reagan libarary among all the GOP candidates, Mr. McCain insincerely accused Mr. Romney for supporting a strict timetable for troops withdrawl from Iraq. At the time, Mr. Romney has consistently denied having supported a timetable. Let's fast forward to the presidential election 2008.

Mr. McCain has now raised the bar for being dishonest. According to Mr. Chait, the senior editor of the New Republic, the strategy that McCain's campaign is employing during this election cycle: PERCEPTION IS REALITY, FACTS DON'T MATTER. I understand that politicians like to stretch truths, especially during a competitive election. However, when a campaign believes the principle of doing whatever it takes for political gain, including lying, I think the candidate needs to step back and rethinks whether he is putting himself ahead of the country.

Mr. McCain is engaging in a tactic that would put Mr. Rove to shame. If interested, here is a few items that were gathered by Mr. Chait:

Mr. McCain accused Mr. Obama for suggesting to bomb Pakistan when Mr. Obama supported special operations missions in Pakistan in his speech

Mr. McCain accused Mr. Obama for canceling a meeting with wounded troops during Mr. Obama's oversea trip because media couldn't attend. In fact, the press was never scheduled to come along and it was the Pentagon that suggested Mr. Obama not to engage such meeting in a campaign.

Mr. McCain accused Mr. Obama for favoring tax increase when Mr. Obama contionuously emphasizes his plan will cut taxes for 80-90% of taxpayers. According to independent analyses, Mr. Obama's plan will actually give more money to the taxpayers of this country than that of Mr. McCain.

These are just a few examples. There are a lot more, including the famous sex ed and lips stick on pigs comments. I personally am not sure where Mr. McCain is going with this tactic. As a previous McCain supporter, I will have to say that politics change people. It definitely has changed Mr. McCain. In this campaign, I do believe that Mr. McCain is putting himself ahead of the will of this country.

NO McCain 08

yes we can!

The Pill Popper(Limbaugh) should want Obama to win. What kind of drivvle will he be able to spew if McCain wins!

Virginia has produced terrific politicians lately: Warner, Kaine and Webb. I like these guys. I wish I could vote for Warner for President. It gives me hope for the future of this country that these politicians can unite us again. Please Virginia: say no to McCain/Palin!

Right, and those polls don't consider any new registered voters or anyone who has moved in the past 4 years. So, it's safe to say Obama's going to take VA.

As someone who is volunteering for the Obama Campaign in VA, if the state doesn't turn blue, it's not for lack of maximum effort and excitement about this candidate. Truly a man who understands the problems of our time and isn't just spreading fear to win the election.

Hope – powerful stuff.

Obama 08

Here is what "Jim's Poll Extraordinaire" says, McCain is leading in majority of the states, especially in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Virginia and Michigan. It is as reliable as all the polls out there, and I did not have to spend a dime to conduct it.
Publish this and I expect a lot of comments

LET'S GO VA !!!!

DON'T LET US DOWN!

THE RIGHT CHOICE COMES DOWN TO PURE COMMON SENSE.

DO YOU WANT CHANGE FOR THE BETTER?

OR MORE OF THE SAME?

JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE WALLSTREET BAILOUT.

THIS IS WHAT THOSE CROOKS DID TO OUR COUNTRY.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Really? I'm a life long resident of Virginia and there's no way Obama will take this state.

Its going to be 60% – 40%....TOTAL LANDSLIDE!!! THE RED REVOLUTION HAS FAILED AND NOW THE BLUES ARE GOING TO DO WHAT WE DO BEST! CLEAN UP REPUBLICAN MESSES!!!!

The recent debacle on Wall Street should remind people that it was a Republican administration that led this country into the Great Depression - and it was a Democratic administrstion that led us out of it.

Now is not the time to vote emotionally, but pragmaticaly. Think about what a President McCain – who, as he himself has said, knows nothing about economics, and doesn't understand how the economy works – would do to this country!

On the other hand, No, don't think...just look at what George Bush has wrought, and that will give you a good idea...

Obama has proven himself cool and collected under pressure, while McCain rushed to judgment and was making all kind sof flip-flopping announcements. We need a cool head and a thoughtful mind such as Obama's during these times... Forget party lines... use your votes wisely if you really want the best for America!

CNN states that B.H.Obama is really too far ahead of McCain to worry about The majority of White America winning over such a statesman as your Honorable, B.H.Obama. All Stand! The Country has made its mind up. The rest of the Election will just be protocol. The Celebration Dinner will include New Orleans Cajan specialty.The Decoration will be changed to Zebra Skins and tasteful Voodo Images.

Don't worry, the republicans will explain away their cheating the election machines with the Bradley Effect.

Someone needs to tell McCain that you can't take Rosetta Stone courses to help you in economics or one for Palin on how to look smart and Presidential.

Northern Virginia is full of transplants from the Northeast. Fortunately, they appear to be bringing their more sane view of the world with them. Perhaps this population will also continue to grow in N Carolina.

It is just as important for Dems to regain REAL control of Congress. If that happens, if there are sufficient Dem votes to override Republican brainlessness, America may survive a McCain administration.

My money is on McCain. Not that I like that, but Obama just can't help coming across as arrogant, and he's amply demonstrated that he's sexist, racist, and unable to handle strong personalities like Bill Clinton. The last guy who avoided Clinton and acted too good to be seen with him was AL GORE.

Remember what happened to him? Answer: GEORGE BUSH.

Cheating and using the tactics of thugs in 3-piece suits to run out Hillary Clinton was Obama's big mistake.

Selecting Obama instead of honoring our votes and electing Hillary Clinton was the DNC's mistake.

Oh, well. I can wait 4 more years. Can you?

Sure hope we get that Democratic Congress, though...........

If Obama wins either FL, NC or VA, we can pop open the champagne early on Nov. 4th. If Obama wins all three, then McCain should concede immediately so that he can get to bed by 8pm.

Just remember when most of us tell pollsters were voting for obama its because we dont want the hundred questions on why we wouldnt vote for the guy who can part the seas

The ABC poll has Obama up 52% to McBush 43%. I guess America is not as stupid as I though, nor are white women, who supports Obama 49% to McBush 47% with clueless air head Palin.

END THE DRAMA, VOTE OBAMA!

McCain still leads ? awesome...the 'fundamentals' of our intelligence needs to be checked.

I just know that Obama can fix everything wrong with our economy. When he raises corporate taxes and makes the U.S. the country with the highest tax rate, and when he forces every company's work force to unionize and threaten to strike unless exorbitant salaries and benefits are paid, then all those jobs that were outsourced will come flying back here. You just wait; by February 2009, we'll have more jobs than we can fill!!!

Obama/Biden/Big Labor/Big Taxes

Like I have stated in the past, POLLS CANNOT BE TRUSTED!!!!! I on the other hand trust in AMERICANS vote for CHANGE on 11/4/08.

VOTE FOR CHANGE on 11/4/08

Turning Virginia blue will be easy. If you want a real challenge that will test your politcal metal try turning Texas blue. Please believe that most of the major cities in Texas ( and we are SO MAJOR) lean towards the Dems. but if you can convince all these small cow poke towns to vote for the Dems you will have a Blue Texas.
If you can overcome the ignorance, you can win this state

I don’t want my TV taken away, or my children pushed into incest, so I oppose Sarah Palin and her failed old Republican moral policies. Ain’t no small time pale white trailer trash from a state full of drunks going to close down my kids schools and force them out into home schooling. No way! And we don’t need to take away school lunches and give them all to big oil companies, and we don’t need no guns in this house. That’s why I have always voted for Hillary, and now I will vote for Biden/Obama.

You heard it hear first. I have just sold over 6000 of my bumper stickers, mostly it seems to people under 30. My newest sticker:
"No thanks old guy
we'll take it from here"
Obama '08

Even longtime conservatives are favoring Obama, inlcuding a veteran of the Reagan administration, Larry Hunter (Google "Larry Hunter longtime conservative activist").

And no less than George Will unfavorably compared McCain to Obama, saying that Obama looked presidential during the financial meltdown last week, while McCain's temperament made some "fearful."

There you have it, folks. Fiscal conservatives don't want McCain in the White House.

A great movement in the greatest nation. God bless America. America thanks you Virginia!!!!

With the whole media on the side of Obama and with new voters enlisting for Obama, it would appear Mcain is not loosing much ground. For somethings polling may not bring out the attitude of the people. At the end the "Race," factor will go against Obama.

WAKEUP PEOPLE...........OBAMA HAS ZERO EXPERIENCE AND BIDEN IS A LOOSE CANON!!!!!! BILL CLINTON WANTS TO MEET PALIN IN THE "ORAL OFFICE" ( yes, I meant ORAL........it's not a typo) AND HILARY IS STILL WIPING AWAY THE TEARS!!!!!!!!

McCAIN/ PALIN 2008!!!!

Sad to say, but McCain is going to win because amerika will never elect a non-caucasian President, even if he were Jesus Himself and was giving away trucks full of gold!

That's ok. The earlier these polls come out and show Obama in the lead, the more time the Republicans will have to screw with the election machines. Have no fear, their cheating is still here.

Mr. Bob Barr and Mr. Spoiler himself (Nader) are vying for your undevided attention. Will they both get some votes from disgruntled Dems and GOPs? Some. I hope people learned from 2000.

Get ready for a terrorist threat.. The GOP must get the debate back to security.

Ticker, we need more talk about Palin's running scared from the media! I hope folks in VA are more enlighten. I'm stuck in RED TX and these folks won't get their heads out of their butts to see the light of day. NO MCCain/Palin!

I would be so proud if my state went blue. I might cry from happiness. Downtown Richmond is all about Obama.

Yeah sure, stop trying to make the poll numbers look good for Obama. LOL

What freaking poll are you looking at? NBC showed on the Today show, McCain up by 3 points. Oh I forgot, Campbell Brown monitored the poll.

Strong military state = McCain/Palin.

Biden said that in the stock market crash of 1929, that FDR got on television and told it like it was. Only problem is that Herbert Hoover was President in 1929 when the market crash happened and television wasn't introduced to the public until 1939, ten years later. Now, all the other news outlets carried this story but somehow it's completely missing from CNN. If Palin had have said something like that, CNN would have it front and center not only on the ticker, but on their home page. Anybody need any more evidence that CNN is just a propaganda arm of the Obama campaign? If it had been Palin, I can hear the haters now.

Just the facts Sir: OK here ya Go.

Under George Bush: 9/11 Attacks; Iraq war mistake; Hurricane Katrina;
Wall Street Meltdown. Just for kicks and giggles, all the world think America is weak and now the bumbling of helping hurricane victims in Galveston, TX.

And McCain has the nerve to brag he has voted with Bush 90% of the time. Yeah, sure, Country first. Oh did I mention he voted against raising the minimum wage several times and against equal pay for women doing the same work as men. (several times).

Who's Country is he putting first?

7% undecided? What dimwit is still undecided??

That's ok. The earlier these polls come out and show Obama in the lead, the more time the Republicans will have to screw with the election machines. Have no fear, cheating is still here.

Come on Virginia don't be stupid and vote for another four years! Thats just crazy!!! Did you all not watch the news last night that said McCains tax plan would cost 353 Billion Dollars vs Obama's which would only be 14 Billion. What are you people thinking? Is it because Obama is black? Is that your hangup? You want a man with a short fuse and not in good health with a ditz one heartbeat from the Whitehouse? McCain has doen nothing for US veterans in the 26 years he has been in Washington...a man with 13 cares and so many houses even he does not know how many....

Veterans for Obama

NIXON, BUSH, CHENEY, McKEATING 5, SARAH FAILIN' . Let's smarten up people, enough is enough. For those who suggest that Obama has sat on his hands in response to the Financial crisis, are, once again submitting to fear tactics of the current administration. I want a President who will make an informed decison based upon the entire picture.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

On election day, PLEASE vote for John McCain--To return to the Senate!

One House, One Car, One Wife--Obama 08

Thank God people are coming out of their "Sarah fog". I can't believe anyone in his right mind could possibly vote for this ticket! She's just plain scary, not to mention completely unqualified to lead the most powerful country in the world which could very easily happen. No self-respecting, intelligent woman would ever vote for THIS woman. It's an insult to our intelligence that McCain thinks we are that stupid!

If the Blacks in the Southern States happen to out number the Whites and if they can get off the couch and go vote, Obama might have a chance of winning those States.

Obama stll have not shown why he is qualified to lead this nation, just ask Joe Biden and Hillary.

So much for the Republican "Lock" on Virginia. With a good showing Friday night, Obama will secure the White House in November.
We all need to duck so we don't get splattered by the Republican mud that will surely be thrown at an even faster pace than this past week.

This is McCains very last shot and I believe he will do anything to try and secure a victory.

Living in Central Va., I can tell you the McCain folks are even in trouble in this part of the state. Although Falwell’s Liberty University is pushing its students to register and vote for McCain, it’s not going to matter. The energy surrounding the Obama campaign is amazing and unlike anything I have seen. I continue to be amazed at the numbers of Republican voters here in Central Va. who say they are supporting Obama this year. It will probably be close (because of the race issue, even though we were the first state to elect a Black governor) but all signs point to an Obama victory.

Hey people...! hey people...! hey people...! Now that the McCain campaign has totally clamped up on the Troopergate investigation, how can we expect this same camp to be talking of transparency on Wall Street!
It is becoming evidently clear that McCain and his bunch are nothing but HYPOCRITES!
It was reported on ABC News this morning that Bristol Palin is a habitual marijuana smoker!! And her boyfriend is on crack!!!
And economic downturn aside, how can a woman who has so woefully failed to bring up her children, be entrusted with leading 360 million Americans??/!!!
The rest of world is amazed at how low America is getting!!!!!

Dear LOU

Virginia went to Hillary by double digits ??? Which Vriginia are you referring too ? Obama got more votes in Virginia than all the republican candidates combined. I live in Virginia and plan to be at the polls at 7 in the morning to push that button for Obama.

Your segment and corresponding article purporting to tie Obama and Biden to the omnibus vote which included the bridge to nowhere earmark is completely ridiculous. I can only conclude that CNN is getting nervous at all the scandal coming out of the McCain campaign (and scared about reporting it in light of Davis's treatment of the NYT etc) and using this "story" for some false sense of "balance."

@Mike:Gee…now I know why everyone one rights…how can the polls be tied…look everyone on CNN is for Obama….then goes on bla bla bla....

If you so much think that Clinton loves his country or McPain more than Obama does then think again and stop misleading voters or else apply to be an advisor to Mccain...they are the best at misleading!

Let's finish the race, Obama! You are the future of this country!

Oh dear.

Gramps and Caribou Barbie not doing so well?

Does this mean no Bush third term?

Shocked. I'm absolutely shocked.

Bwahahahahahahahha.

Living in Hampton Roads Virginia, I can tell you that majority of Hampton Roads is going for Sen. Obama. Mcsame may stand a chance out there in western VA, but they've been hit bad by the economy and Sen. Obama's policies are what's best for this state. The Commonwealth, not Alaska, is the number one ran state in this country. When Mark Warner was governor he had a 70% approval rating. Plus he ran a state with way more than 600,000 people. That is change I can believe in.

OBAMA/BIDEN/CLINTON/WARNER

Truth is that if you're still undecided after all this economic mess, it probably means that you will base your vote on something other than the economy, such as trust and leadership.

advantage = McCain

I MEAN HOW CAN ANY PEOPLE VOTE FOR THIS GUY MCBUSH HE VOTED AGAINST THE MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY I MEAN COME ON THATS JUST PLAIN RACIST AND ALSO REMBER PEOPLE HE VOTED AGAINT MINIMUM WAGE 19 TIMES I MEAN IS THIS NOT AN ELITES....PLEASE MY FELLOW AMERICANS WAKE THE .....UP PLEASE-–

Lou....NEWSFLASH!! Obama won the Virginai democratic primary by a landslide over Clinton. Stop making stuff up and get with the program.

Palin wants transparency but her whirlwind meeting with heads of states in NY was opaque because her advisors only wanted her to have a photo op. That's all Americans are entitled to when choosing a VP I guess

Everyone can see who the better candidate is, even though the media is trying their best to spin McSame and Plain into the white house.

I'm cautiously allowing myself to believe the American people are FINALLY beginning to see through the superficiality of the McCain-Palin ticket. This country is in real trouble if the lies and total lack of substance somehow manage to prevail over the meaningful policy changes being promoted by Obama. While McCain is busily attempting to re-invent himself at the expense of his credibility (What happened to the GREAT DE-REGULATOR, anyway?), Obama continues to offer hope for America. GOBAMA!

Nice to see that Virginians are waking up and realizing that the last 8 years have been a nightmare. Glad they willing to finally try something different to turn not only the economy, but the environment, healthcare, and education around.

After Bush and his administration, it will not happen overnight, but it needs to start now.

I will give the Obama backers line:

"If they called cell phones Obama will be ahead by 100 points......." or something to the affect.

Even my teens and their friends are sick of the Bush/Cheney administration lies and are very vocal against a similar McCain/Palin style. Seems this race is a hot topic at their public school.

Thank goodness there is hope in the next generation, America.

Helping to turn Virginia Blue.

I can hardly wait to see Rev. Wright's book when it comes out in October.

The ABC/ Wash.Post poll gives Sen. Obama a 9 point lead. The grandpa/ moose hunter ticket is hurting!

Come on Virginians, ask yourselves if you are comfortable with the status quo! I am sure you are not, so do the right thing.

All this horrible news for the GOP has to be an east coast elitest media conspiracy!

Mark down three key dates where John McCain lost the 2008 election: 1) The day he picked Sarah Palin and decided to enclose her in an anti-media bubble through the election; 2) the day he said "my friends, the fundamentals of the economy are strong, and 3) the day the ultimate lifelong supply side deregulator tried to reinvent himself as a populist.

People, do you want Phil Gramm and a team of lobbyists enriching their friends and running this country into the ground? Isn't that what we just had for the past eight years? Time for REAL change & it looks like we're finally going to get it!

Obama is gonna win the Commonwealth of Virginia!!! O-ld Dominion for O-bama!!!

Say it with me, folks ...

"Obama/Biden '08! YES WE CAN!!!"

Well now I have to try and get on the Government Dole Out and get my free money...isn't this grand..free money, no responsibility...the country will get stronger and we all will share the same morals, values...gone are the days of racism...I love what will be an anything goes society...NOW you will see the Rich get Richer and the poor get poorer....Ohhh boy doewn with america....yee haa

How can anyone in this country justify electing McCain for President– He's shown no judgment by seclecting Sarah Palin as his VP, she being the most secretive candidate on these tickets... She's refused to cooperate with investigators and his campaign is now saying that the investigation is "confidential"! - Wow, does he really think that americans do not see through this!

She met with some world leaders yesterday for photo ops ONLY. So are we now to believe that she has all the foreign experience she needs to run this country?– Come on Replubicans give it up!

We the People say to Sarah and John- THANKS BUT NO THANKS!

I think Obama is much further ahead than polls indicate in every state. After the primaries, I just don't trust polls.

Why hasn't Sarah Palin given an interview? Is the McCain camp sexiest? Do they not in the ability of a woman?

I thank Campbell Brown on CNN Election Center last night for finally speaking up stating ENOUGH IS ENOUGH regarding the McCain campaign treatment towards the mainstream media and Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin. Why are Americans accepting such behavior from the McCain Camp...how can they vote for a so called ticket when they can't hear both candidate views on the issue. From what little I know of Sarah Palin she has some explaining to do. They are truly doing her a disserivce. Now I can see why we educated college graduates tend to lean Obama. Obama has voiced his approach on key issues and understands our values and where must go from what the GOP has dished out to the American public in the last 8 years. Sarah Palin we Americans are still awaiting for the release of your TAX RECORDS seeing that all of a sudden your loud cry for government transcrepancies an idea first initiated by Senator Obama.

No longer undecided....
Obama / Biden '08

Actually Obama crushed Hillary in the primary, it was nearly 30 points, from what I remember. He won the Potomac primaries by an average of over 30% and remember Senator Clinton did not win any primary or caucus between Super Tuesday and March 4.

Just a correction.

I agree with Stacy from Loudoun County,

Northern Virginia is Obama/Biden territory. I live in Lorton and if I see 10 stickers or magnets on cars, 7 are for Obama/Biden, 3 are for McCain/Palin. It is southwest and southeast Virginia where McCain/Palin MAY have an edge. I really do hope the states turns blue. The proposed republican ticket has to be one of the WORSE proposed tickets in presidential election history. How can any one, women and veterans specifically, want to vote these two into the white house?

It is amazing to me that the Republican's actually think they have a chance of winning the presidency this year. Oh really? Hillary Clinton and her so called machine fell victim to a campaign organization that didn't know what hit them. So what makes the McCain/Palin team think they can beat the Obama organization? The Obama team is smarter in the trenches, have registered more voter's than the Republican's. Plus, the duo of Obama/Biden is a no brainer compaired to a McCain/Palin ticket. Obama/Biden by double digets come November 4th.

Do you know that every time I watch CNN and listen to a Republican pundit or advisor, they almost ignore the question asked of them and immediately go on the attack.

AND THE REPUBLICAN ATTACKS HAVE BECOME MORE PRONOUNCED EVER SINCE THE ECONOMY HAS BECOME A CRISIS!! THEY DO NOT WANT THE DISCUSSION TO BE FOCUSED ON WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO AMERICANS AND PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.

PS

Is it really true that John McCain is converting to a Democrat? Did he actually say that he is NOW for regulation? So the US has two Democrats running for office?!!

There are 2 states of Virginia. There is 'metro' Virginia which makes up some of the more affluent suburbs of Washington DC which leans more blue for the most part, and there is the rural state of Virginia which you find as you drive further south upon leaving the beltway which is very very red. The race for the Commonwealth will be an interesting one. I hope Senator Obama can reach those undecided voters in Amherst as much as the ones in West Falls Church.

Wont last long!!! Obama is gaining and is going to WIN!!

To Mike... We dont think Obama is our Saviour... we believe he can change things and fix things VS McCain the Same!! Its not that we think he is PERFECT... No One is!! Its the fact we have TWO candidates and we have to CHOOSE the better of the TWO and most of us Feel Obama is the one VS McSame. PLUS... I have never met in my life someone that says one thing all their life and then at the last minute in a contest decides to change it totally. And its not just ONE issue... BuT MANY of the Issues!!

Last election... I didnt like Kerry and I didnt Like Bush... Not much of a great choice there, I voted for Bush because I felt Kerry would do worse than Bush did. Now we got a chance here. Its like NIGHT and DAY choice. I actually like one of em!!

Obama/Biden 08!!!

Excuse me I thought if you didn't answer a SUPEONA you went to JAIL. I didn't know you had a choice. If I got one I will say, well Palin didn't answer her supeona I am not gonna answer mine's so there. If I said that I will be living with those moose in the wildneress.

Mike,

This one is for you. Since I have much respect for Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell I also take into consideration what they are saying (and what they are not saying) about the two candidates that are running for the White House bid.

They both stated that Obama would make a fine President, (you can check it out for yourself as it is all over the internet) and that they, at this time, could not state who they wanted in the office. This tells me that it doesn't matter if they are Republicans. This tells me that they want what is best for the United States and if it means voting against the candidate of their party, they will. And I truly believe they are above voting on a candidate because of his/her color.

Mark Warner may have coattails as well. Huge lead, well liked and Kaine and Webb aren't flukes. Question is how much race will affect Obama's performance in "Southside" Virginia and the coal mining southwest.

Ahhhhhh...whats that I see's coming....OOOOO YES...SOCIALISM..how sweet it is, bring it on OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and forever

And it is yet to become BLUE!!!!!!!!!

You dont lie over and over again and get away with it in this life!

Did you see how McPalin switched legs...very uncomfortable and the best topic for increasing terrorism in the world!........What is your son's name...how nice!... Need i say more.....i can see Alaska from Africa i guess i can be governor

Hope for the future,

Obama for president !!

The Republicans have gained power because of a dogma about the magic of free markets and the evils of regulation. John McCain and his economic brain, Phil Gramm, are the champions of the Wall Street greedos that have driven our financial system into the ditch.

The events that culminated this week show that these Republican myths have been exposed as complete lies. Democrats have always believed that free markets have to be well-regulated.

John McCain's career of consistently opposing regulation, especially of the finance and banking worlds, SHOULD cost him the election.

People of VA ain't as stupid as you think McBush.

After all that's happened and everything that McCain had said and done so far, the question should be – is there a state that would still vote red?

When Bill Clinton finds more examples of actual accomplishments by John McCain that benefited the nation and his own Democratic administration–than Obama it is very telling. When the defacto "Leader" of the Democratic Party (to the eyes of Americans and the world at large) can't substantiate the credentials of the Presidential candidate what would a logical person conclude?

What is the shadow Bill Clinton really saying?
Are we listening?

This is no time to gloat or to sit on our collective buns. While the call for change away from the Extremist Right and its politics of nationalistic devisiveness, the Democratic lead of Barak Obama is fragile.

If you are against what this degenerated Republican Party is offering, you need to join the volunteers across the country working to wrench these Republicans out of office.

Don't just VOTE for Barak Obama and the Democrats... VOLUNTEER to get the word out!

The Old Dominion and many battleground states will go to Obama/ Biden. Some traditionally red states will also go to them.
Watch the debate Friday to see McCain fall on his face. The whole world knows he's a pathological liar.

There is no question MCcain is trying to look like the smarter of the two. Poeple have brains. There is no question Obama and his administration will roll up his sleaves and get some work done. Very smart.

Why any thinking person would vote Republican this year is beyond me.

They inherited a strong economy from the Clinton years and they squandered it (and our good name) on a war that should not have been fought. They have poured billions down the rathole in Iraq with no oversight.

Then they proceeded to cut taxes for the wealthy and do their best to break any restraints or regulation of the fat cats and it did not take an econ major to recognize something was going to give.

They certainly should not be REWARDED for this. McCain was among them. He was not speaking out about any of their practices and joined Bush at every occasion to vote right there with him. 4 more years of this and we will be done in.

YOU OBAMA FOLLOWERS ARE SO FULL OF HATE AND NAIVE ,THEY SHOULDN'T LET YOU VOTE.. YOU CARE NOTHING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY ,JUST THE FIRST GREENHORN BLACK GUY WITH A LINE OF B.S. A MILE LONG. HE WONT BEABLE TO DELIVER ANYTHING HE TELLS YOU. CONGRESS HAS LAST SAY,AND MCCAIN IS THE ONLY ONE THAT GET GET AROUND MOST OF THAT MESS. MCCAIN/PALN COUNTRY FIRST

Any one even remotely considering choosing McCain/Palin really needs to stop and consider this most recent financial melt down. Do you really want this to either continue or deepen? Because if McCain's at the reigns, you can bet he's going to give you more of the same deregulation that landed us in this mess to begin with. And if he doesn't make it and Palin takes charge, she's the same pork-barrel politician that's going to line the pockets of her own supporters and her own before the American public (just look at the Bridge to Nowhere...and the newly reported Road to Nowhere...in Alaska). Vote smart; vote Obama/Biden.

The people of Virginia are too smart to vote for MORE MISERY.

Virginia will be BLUE on November 4th!
Look for North Carolina to be painted TAR HEEL BLUE too.

Obama / Biden 08!

America can't afford 4 more years of the same.

Obama/Biden 2008

Why isn't anyone reporting on the BIGGEST & MOST IMPORTANT LIE OF THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN?

Fanny & Freddie down the drain but got a bail out. McCain said his campaign managers LOBBYISTS hadn't lobbied them since 2005 but now it has been discovered this was the worst of the worst lies since they were still lobbying for them up to a month ago.

If McCain will lie about something this important Americans have to ask themselves if McCain is President and states a reason to go to war with another country how could you possibly believe him. Remeber he lied about how safe it was in Iraq to prolong this war and a lie is a lie is a lie.

Sure....When Obama is up by a half a point, the headline reads something like "Obama still trouncing McCain in Key states!" Yet, when McCain is leading, they are "nearly tied." Not to mention the fact that Obama is always given the benefit of the doubt in those so-called "fact-checks" that CNN does. Whatever. This is the last time I visit CNN.com until the election is over.

If these polls are not including people that ONLY have cell phones. They are USELESS. I believe many of these polls are under estimating Obama real support by about 3% which I feel is GREAT. I want it to be a dead heat tie on election day so that EVERYONE who supoorts Obama feels they HAVE to vote to get him into office. If this happens Obama will win by about 8% of the popular vote and 20 to 30 points on the electorial college.
The ONLY thing that can prevent this is a MAJOR blunder by Obama and I think he is too smart for that.

Come Virginia vote Obama!! My kids need a better future than this....
Obama Biden 08

The bad news is for the whole world if Obama wins. Let's get another "let's have fun" leader in office who will fall asleep and allow more terrorists into our nation, more immorality to befall this nation. Obama doesn't have a clue how to run this country or be a military president and with Russia wagging their head again we will need a military leader. God help us all if Obama wins.

Hey Mike,
If you are going to endorse someone at least take the time to learn how to spell his name. It's McCain not Mccaine and I hope you have studied his stand on the issues more closely than how his name is spelled.

to inat

ya it would be great if Palin had some airtime to make those kind of gaffes. Too bad biden is out their everyday doing his interviews and answering questions, so every now and then he slips up. big deal!!!

Could you imaging how many gaffes palin would have if she actually held interviews and took a press conference or 2?

Lou
Im sorry but Obama won VA in double digits not Hilary and VA can go blue its just OBAMA is black and thats what is limiting him unfortunately. But we will see.

WHO is Barack Obama and why does he have such a loyal following?
This reminds me of Hitler's rise to power where people wanted CHANGE and would pot anyone in power.

Again, just WHO is this Barack Obama and do people REALLY understand "the change" that he will bring?

Mike – You are reading too much into 2 comments. Look at the overall picture. Get off the kool-aid! McCain has made a critical mistake with his VP choice period. He is totally out of touch with regular Americans. This is an election for real change not lip service as usual (what McCain is offering).

for anyone who really puts faith in the polls I got a bridge in Alaska I can sell you cheap!

For those who think McCain ,Palin are completely blind and thief. McCain vote will be a blank cheque just like Bush many years ago. This is too important,

My mom was for Mccain/Palin when governor Palin was first introduced to the country till recently when she heard so much in the news about her firing of trooper and bridge to knowwhere.
Enough is Enough, mom said!

I'm from Michigan (will go BLUE) however I live in DC currently. DC and Maryland are both locks to go BLUE, and just about every state along the coast north of there.

Virginia however is interesting. Northern VA and DC suburbs are heavily in favor of Obama, as well is Virginia Beach. The southern and western portion of the state is the Republican stronghold. Obama and Biden have both been campaigning there heavily. People need to see Obama speak in person and to shoot down the rumors himself and slowly it is shifting. With 5 weeks left and a few hundred thousand undecided voters, it can happen!

Let's do this for America!!

Obama/Biden '08!

Ready for a "Blue Tidal Wave" of voters to bury McGrampa & Barbie?
Republicans are toast. Bush has done a wonderful job of killing off the brand, right?

Lets see. Bush says that the proposed bailout will work. We are supposed to trust what he says or thinks after 8 years? We are supposed to trust McCain who is a copy of Bush? I would feel safer of the bailout working if Bush had said that it would not work.
I think I will put my trust in the new guy.

The Republican idealogy is finally coming to a end. I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! People are holding the incumbents responsible for their failures. I am so Loving this 9 point lead in polls for Obama!

I feel pity for you all OBAMA lovers – you deserve him if he wins!

VA stand up. i aplaud you guys for ya gutsy perfomance. i hope in the coming day obame would grad 6 from the 7% of undecided.

So this proved that people in Virginia are uninformed and dumb

Lou's comment, "I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment. I dont think the feelings for barac have changed that dramatically."

That is factually incorrect. Obama owned the "Potomac Primary" and won VA, MD, and DC all on the same night.

Atleast people when you spread your hate and lies try having a sprinkling of truth. For the record OBAMA =
President of the Harvard Law Review (managing over 50 lawyers); Taught Constitutional Law for 12 years;
Served 8 years in the Illinois Senate;
4 years as US Senator;
Member of the Foreign Intelligence Committe over 4 years; Sponsored or co sponsonered over 1,080 bills!
And is managing one of the most successful, impressively flawless and forward thinking presidential campaigns employing hundreds of staff.

Watever.
I am college student and I am coming out for Obama here in Va.
My mom got it wrong!!

Lou: Clinton did not win the Virgina primary. Obama won it, 65-34.

It's about time to wake up and vote for the right person. It doesn't matter that I am repbulican but I will follow my consience. I don't want to wake the next morning and find out that I helped drive the bus to the ditch.

Hooray!
We're finally getting it. Unregulated markets only hurt the small guy. The Republicans have to pay for this mess...and I think in Barack Obama we have found somebody who has at least the ability to think about the best way forward, and to get the right team on board, rather than an ideological knee jerk reaction to all problems.
Sometimes it takes a crisis to get it right.

Look for hidden mike in McSame's ear on Friday with AIPAC Joe Lieberman on the other end giving him some semblence of an answer...Won't matter! Between embracing the "Bush Doctrin" 90% of the time and a campaign run by the same lobbyists and losers who have been responsible for our "robust economy", Virginia and all the other battleground states are going blue! LANDSLIDE, BABY!

This is not new news. This is very misleading of CNN to post this story. It has been expected that Virginia would be close for many months now, and McCain is actually a litlle ahead of where they thought he would be. This article and tag line on the CNN home page is an attempt to sway public opinion and throw the election; making believe that their is some new surge for Obama. Lies and propaganda have no place in journalism, and CNN should be ashamed of itself for slanting this story the way they wish it were.

. . . And that only includes the voters who have land line telephones.
Democratic registration is at record levels. I do believe that the
republicans have peaked in the polls, especially with the economic
crisis Americans are now facing, democratic numbers will rise as
americans are tired of "propping up" people who only care about their
own agendas and not the entire country. It seems that people are
waking up and realizing that "country first" means that THE PEOPLE
are the country. And the people have been treated pretty poorly by
the republican party.

Democrats 08.

Democrats, Disillusioned Republicans and Leaning Independents: Work as hard as you can to get out the vote for Democratic and Third Party candidates. Send the band of right wing radicals who have hijacked what's left of the Republican party that we want them GONE. America is already in two wars abroad, we don't need to keep stoking the flames of a full-scale culture war at home at the expense of the real issues of governance. Deliver Republicans defeat after defeat at every level of government until they get the message.

Hmmm, a CNN Poll (based on those who will talk to CNN – probably all Liberals) shows a slim lead for McCain. I guess a Conservative Poll would probably show a huge lead for him then!

Come on people, use your head's. Even the "fact checker" notes are written by the Liberal Machine that is CNN. It's fun to read and make comments about the stories here, but if I just looked at the comments and tried to guess who'd be ahead I'd say Obama had a 50 point lead. That's cause the majority on this site are crazed Liberals!

If you want to try to get through to Independents – like me – why not move away from calling anyone who is not for Obama ignorant, or a racist, and give me some idea of an independent thought that Obama or Bieden has had. Oh, and by the way, the whole "The Republicans started the nasty campaign" whining just makes you all look even more immature!!

VA will be blue. Northern VA will carry the state. Let's go VA. Obama 08.

Finally, people are waking up!

McCain = Titanic
Palin = Iceburg

I'm posting this here as there is no place else to post it.

Why is it that in almost all the factcheck's on McCain v. Obama's ad's the McCain's ad's are an out and out lie.

On the otherhand, when you look at the Obama v. McCain's ad's, factcheck shows, true, or somewhat true.

Maybe the voters are not as uneducated as they seem at times and they are now looking at the substance of the commercial as opposed to taking it at face value.

No need to fret GOP. After the debate on Friday, MCCain will be up by 10 points or more! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Native Virginian who knows how her Commonwealth votes.

Battlegrounds – amazing how this race is so close but I too, was sitting Right until this week. The McCain campaign somehow will not give access to Sarah Palin who may be our president if something were to happen to John – and he is 72. SO, without getting to know her and the little I have seen is very lack luster with no substance – as when asked what skills do you have that you will bring to foriegn relations – she gave none -and stated she was Ready to Serve. That isn't a skill – Anyway – the more I don't hear, the more I thought – Obama is Open and will negotiate and calmly represent America and its people in our World. He is now my choice. I give up on my party and won't turn back this election. I hope Virginianss see it that way too – and it appears they are.

I suspect the slight lead will increase once you consider that Sarah Palin received a national security briefing from the Director of National Intelligence yesterday. When your next poll is done, it should indicate that her increased intelligence will double the McCain lead from one to two points in Virgina.

Democrats need to strive full speed ahead. Ignore the small falsehood, focus on the truth and what is best for Americans. Obama start with DETAILS on how you will strengthen the economy and fix the broken banks and big money markets, create jobs, promote education, provide quality housing, ease money woes for seniors, i.e. medication & dr/hospital services, reduce gas and food prices, bring our troops home safely–not in body bags. This will be a great start.

Political ticker,you always seem to fact checking Obama , but you never seem to fact check McSame. This morning on American Morning , reported fact check about the claim that McSame repeat over and over that the surge in Iraq was very sucessful, the truth from top people in Iraq said, that McSame is far from the truth their was no victory. So please ticker be fair and also cover the lies that the McSame camp is telling the people.

(Record breaking) nearing 300,000 new registered voters here in VA.
..................Yes we can...............Obama/Binden 08.................................

Being from the great Commonwealth of Virginia, I can tell you that here in Northern Virginia, there is a lot of excitement for Obama. Several Obama representatives have stopped by my house and they have called to chat with me several times and addressed questions I had head on with clear answers.

Both Obama and Biden have made many stops here in Northern Virginia. I have received no phone calls from the McCain camp nor have I had any representatives from the McCain campaign stop by. This state is trending blue because of great men like Mark Warner, Governor Kaine, and Senator Webb.

It's time to take our country back.

Obama/Biden
Yes we can!

I have to say, I am a little thrown back by Sara Palin. She keeps saying everyday that she wants to bring transparency and reform to Washington. But she does not even have transparency in her own state. She has “instructed” her staff people (who work for her) not to answer subpoenas for the investigation on the trooper case. Citizens of Alaska have inquired about the issue, they want transparency. Now the small case has reached public interest and the rest of the public is now being ignored. Palin is saying that the investigation is now political. But, that happens when you are in office. The other side will ask question and try to shade light on any flaw they see. It is up to her to show that there is nothing to the allegations. If she won’t be transparent on that issue, I don’t think she will be transparent on any serious concerns the American people may have if she gets in office. For undecided voters, she is not being very transparent right now.

Yesterday McCain was 5 up today only 1 come on CNN. Today they must have polled the Dem. part of Virginia.

The thing that saddens me as an Ohio citizen is that the race is closer in Virgnia and Indiana then it is in Ohio. What the eff? What is wrong with Ohio?

Besides the fact that I can drive around anywhere outside of the cities and see yard signs and symbols openly supportive of the Klan anyway.

Virginia is beginning to see the light......nobody in this country should stand for anymore of these ridiculous Republican party policies any longer.....we have had enough of it!!!
John McCain is certainly NOT the master of change, how can you be against now what you have stood for the past eight years......and to even think that this man could lead this country is a joke!!!!!
How you can want to put back into power another set of incompetent Republicans is beyond me......take a look at your life style and see how well off you are under this present government......don't lie now , see the way it really is and think about how much this country needs change.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08.

Don't forget, in the primaries, Obama came in first, Clinton second, and then all the rpubs combined. Clinton, at second had more votes than all the republicans combined!

PEOPLE ARE FINALLY SEEING THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT MCCAIN AND PALIN.....THEY ARE LIARS AND MCCAIN IS OUT OF TOUCH...AND AFTER FINDING OUT HIS CAMPAING MGR HAS BEEN PAID BY FANNIE MAE/ FREDDIE MAC.....UP UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT TOOK IT OVER LAST WEEK......OH BOY.....MCCAIN GOT CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE......

THE REIGN OF THE OPPRESSORS IS OVER, THE PEOPLE SHALL TAKE BACK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY THEIRS! "POWER TO THE PEOPLE" "DON'T DRINK THE HATERADE"!

haha! Biden thought FDR was president in 1929 and that he gave a televised speech! Too funny!

What if Palin had made that gaffe?!

That's why the polls are still so tight – people see through the OBiden ticket's media-made facade

In some polls Obama is up by 3%
Virginia has many smart people who will vote Obama this time to save this country from the GOP mess we are in

It has now come out John Mcains camp manager Rick Davis was taking 15,000 dollars a month since 2007 from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac MCCAIN LIED AGAIN PEOPLE HE SAID DAVIS DOESNT DO THAT ANYMORE FACT IS HE HAS AND STILL DOES NOW COMMON SENSE PEOPLE MCCAIN CLAIMS HE WONT LET THE LOBBYISIT NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE DOORS MEANWHILE THEY ARE IN HIS CAMPAIGN MCCAIN IS A PANDERING LIAR LIAR PEOPLE YOU BETTER WAKE UP AND WAKE UP FAST!!! AND SEE JOHN MCCAIN FOR THE PERSON HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN08

Obama Should have this thing all locked up by now. If he and Hillary were on the same ticket he would be leading most states by a large margin. I would expect to see the polls change radically after Friday. Debates usually have a good effect on the polls. It will be nice to see Obama actually debate McCain, since we all were expecting to see this months ago before Obama backed out of it.

In the 2004 election, 47% of voters aged 18-29 voted. With many new voters registered, early voting, and enthusiasm for Obama, I predict the turnout will be 65%, which is enough to push Obama over the top in states like Ohio, Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina.

These voters are not polled because they do not have landline telephones, and because they are not considered "likely voters."

VOTERS have HAD IT with the Republican mediocre leadership that has flourished the last 8 years. Republicans have excelled at Confusing and Nasty Campaigning. All supported by the Big Corporate Giants who have driven this campaign so that a select few could enjoy a money orgie.This is not the Party of Reagan,nor even Nixon any longer. I only hope that Virginia will take the initiative to HELP CHANGE this country. The Republican Party has ALWAYS been the Party of The Wealthy ....not the average man.

Obama 08.

Virginia is not stupid – they have a lot of people who want more than the empty blustering of the Republicans over the last decade. Good for them.

Relax people now we shaping up hes gonna win this election..independent voter here cant possibly vote for mccain...hes toast

Southwest Virginia will be pivotal. This is an area hard hit by the economy. Obama needs to show them that he not only walks the walk but talks the talk, whereas McCain says one thing but lives his life differently.

it is a very traditional area, but I have experienced many of the people as thoughtful and really willing to listen. They don't wish to be seen as rubes, just as hard working, honest people. Obama has a lot in common with them and he needs to figure out how to make the connection.

I wish he'd take off the gloves on Friday and talk about the Keating Five. It's really time to expose McCain's background. People hate hypocrisy.

Attempt #23 (to post a non obama loving post past CNN Censors)

Still awaiting moderation.....

Gee...now I know why everyone one rights...how can the polls be tied...look everyone on CNN is for Obama....

Anyways here is attempt #23.....This is an open letter to all the moderate democrats and independents out there. No, I am not talking to those of you (which is most of you on this board) who think Obama walks on water or is the next coming of the savior, but to those of you who are willing to inform yourselves and make a rational decision. The last two to three days have been very telling. No not words from Obama or Mccaine but words from Bill Clinton and Joe Biden. Bill Clinton has gone out of his way to tell you that John Mccaine is very qualified to be President. This is unheard of....it wasn't a solicitated answer it was Bill speaking himself and adding it in as a reporter tried to cut him off. Then, Joe Biden actually has the courage to say what bad judgment Sen. Obama had in running this ad against Mccaine, making fun of Mccaine's POW injuries. Since Obama is running simply on "his judgement" and not his experience this speaks volumes. Perhaps, Bill is just sore about Hilary and wants her to be able to run in 2012 again, perhaps Sen. Biden made a mistake....but to an independant moderate you just have to look at these comments and think "Do these two men really love their country enough that they are willing to buck partisan politics and endorse the right man?" Bill Clinton basically did endorse Sen. Mccaine...this is very telling. Perhaps these men love for their country is forbidding them from the USA making a big mistake in turning to a socialist government

I'm hoping to see that widen after this week. Virginia is very important to the Obama strategy.

Say no to ready shoot aim McCain.

As long as McCain can keep it close, his Diebold voting machine hackers can steal it.

I don't believe that for one minute. Nearly a tie....please. There are more Obama supporters in VA both white and black. We will see on Nov 4th when we come out to vote since we haven't been polled!

All states should go blue. There is really no time in our History to be more worried than now.

Economic and finacial crisis.
Wars we cannot afford.
Schools failing.
Infrastucture deteriating.

We need to put aside partisonship and do whats best for Our Country and our FUTURE now!
Obama-Biden 08

I can't WAIT for the polls to open! I want to be the first person in my part of town to NOT vote for John McCain!

Women: McCain and Palin are against you. How can you be a women against women?

All you have to do to get a sense of this race is look at the battlegrounds:

New Mexico,
Colorado,
Florida,
Ohio,
Missouri,
Nevada,
Virginia?,
Indiana?
North Carolina???

Ok, in NC Obama has an uphill battle, but it's still in play. Every one of the states above voted for Bush in 2004, and with Iowa a strong Obama state (it was red last time too), Obama only needs to win one of the larger swing states or two of the smaller ones.

McCain has to hold all of them, or all but one of the smaller ones.

Bring it ON
We shall make it.
It shall be DONE
The debates will be the HIGHEST rated TV event in USA history
That is the deal maker or breaker

Regardless of the outcome of this election, Senator Obama has set and raised the standard on how to win a presidential election. He has taken traditional systems and tossed them out the window.

I wish others could see how much better their lives will be if they only gave him a chance. The public believes that he is better at handling the economy, why not take that leap of faith and say he is intelligent and smart enough to deal with the Putin's of the world!

What a glorious day is going to be on November 5 when Senator Obama becomes President -Elect Obama!

its shameful that after Obama-Biden voted for 4 "bridges -to-nowhere" in Alaska twice, while voting against the bridge in NewOrleans devastated by Katrina.

This was the time, Palin was not in office.
Are these guys liars , or just politicians bringing change to America ?

Whats going on with the ticker...all this news and the ticker has fallen behind since yesterday- have the writers gone on strike?? LOL
Doesn't matter- I just wanted everyone to see that Obama has a 9 point lead in the CBS poll- face it, American's can not bring themselves to trust another two faced REPUG with the Economy!!

Obama/Biden 08

It's the beginning of the end.

The truth will set you free. People are getting tired of the McCain/Palin lies.

We don't need another liar in the White House. Palin being hidden from the media. Another Bush Cheney.

It ain't over til it's over!

I really cant see a state like virginia going Barrack Obama's way. It went double digits to Hillary in the primary after his bitter folk clinging to guns comment. I dont think the feelings for barac have changed that dramatically.

I see Virginia being Red – especially now with Palin on the ticket. Those hunting and military guys out there just LOVE this lady

Cosidering that Virginia has not voted Democrate since 1968.............................I think Obama is Doing really well there, and he will win there.....jus like he will win in my home state if florida

Obama/Biden

A 7% undecided margin is alot in my state. That's a couple of 100,000 people. We have registered 280,000 new voters in Virginia. And majority of them are young democrats ready for CHANGE.

Oh boy, looks like the multiple avenues Obama has to the 270 mark are all alive and well.

McCain, not so much, he's already behind in a lot of Bush states. These polls don't factor in a lot of the GOTV first timers or occasional voters. If it does then that tilts more to Obama's favor.

I can't wait for the new electoral map to come out! Looking good for Obama! God bless America!

Obama /Biden – 08/12

Good job Barack, take McBush down. We can do this and take this country back for the people and fix the mess the Republicans have put us in!!

Obama/Biden '08

If I were Obama, I wouldn't get too excited about this news just yet.

what can these people possibly see in macain Hopfully dems in va will come out and vote

Virginia will turn Blue. The sarah hype is gone, and the truth about McSHame and LiarSarah is too big to ignore. Sarah ready to be president lol get out of here.

Obama/Biden '08

and the new CONFIDENTIAL status of Troopergate... another GOP cover up.... will help wipe out McCain's lead in Virginia and other close states.

OBAMA '08

For McCain ,the game is up!

Not even close here in Virginia. John McCain is barking up the wrong tree if he thinks Virginia is staying red. Virginia will win this presidential election and also put Gov. Mark Warner in the U.S. Senate.

Here is a question to all the ditto heads bashing Obama for using a teleprompter.

When McCrypt gives a speech and he keeps looking down, is he checking to see if Mr. Winky is still functional?

Probably, but he is also looking at his speech on 3 x 5 note cards, circa 1958!
