I must say, there are some shifty sneaky dishonest humans on this site.

STILL pretending Obama is a Muslim is so lame.

Obama is going to WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN

face it, and be happy a 72 year old fuzzy head and his BUSH in drag VP pick will NOT be in the White House…

Drew:
You know i feel exactly the same way when i read the Repub posts on every single website out there – they are soooooooooo stupid. If you want to read intelligent posters – come on over to Huffington Post, although you won't find many trolls like yourself over there – just a few – and those are 99% out of the time STUPID.

I lived in Kenya, before Barack Obama was born. No I'm nothing special. But I believe in "The Planet", as a whole. Not to be divided for a "Dream". I have studied the Middle-East most of my Adult life.
If you dare destroy this past five years, of American Involvment in the Middle East??? You are a "Little People…. LIke The USSR, in 1959..

I bet a million that there will be shenanigans in Florida….

Obama is an admitted Socialist who does not share the values of American voters. The voters will pay him back in spades in November by sending him and Hair Plugs back to the Senate. Obama will ruin this economy by over taxing everyone. He will have a disasterous effect on the stock market if elected. Foreign dictators will test him and I'm sure he'll fail since he thinks he can snap his fingers, call a meeting with evil leaders and lead us to happiness. McCain's fiscal policies are needed at a time like this, don't strangle business and capital. If Obama truely had foresight he would have worked with McCain to regulate Freddie and Fannie over the past few years but Obama didn't care.

McCain/Palin 2008. Obama and Bill Ayers can go light M-80s in the South Side of Chicago for all I care.

The people are finally looking beyond the traditional Republican mantras that appeal to the emotions instead of reason.

Who in their right mind would want four more years of Republican incompetence and mismanagement???

They took credit for Clinton's surplus after fighting him every step of the way, but when they had total control of both houses and the white house -look at what they produced!

Only the most stupid and ignorant would stick with the Repugs after what they have done to this country…

Wow…look at all those patriotic blue states!!
WI, OH, FL, VA and hopefully CO will also be blue.

Let's not take anything for granted – call voters, register voters, work at the polls, etc. This will come down to voter turnout!

How can Biden have less money saved up an less towards his retirement than I do?

I make 1/10 of the wages he and his wife make- and even I am losing my retirement savings in the market collapse.

Biden does not even donate to any charities.

HOW can he be "poor"

We all better be sure and vote as I don't really trust any poll..
pollsters are/can be a little short of being completely honest.
Just like an account.. make the numbers what they want. I do
see a big shift in Mi when it counts.. Looks like Obama/Biden
are very strong among intelligent voters (dktm)

Come on Obama. With all of those states in your column, couldn't save a few for poor ole John?

I'm glad to see my contributions are having a positive effect on the outcome. This post has motivated me to donate another $100.00 to the Obama movement. It tells me that If the people get behind something or someone, REAL change can be effected by the people for the people.

God Bless America and Sen. Obama

P.S. Joe Biden Too!

Good!. A lot of work still to be done. Watch out for GOP's slimy tactics

Remember people to go out and vote, polls look great but what u don't want happening is people saying " wow look at that lead, I won't vote because everyone else will" Don't let that happen because then McCain will win.

As a Canadian observing the US election, a couple of things struck me:

1. Bush and the Republican party ran the USA into the ground: economy, Iraq war, civil liberties
2. Despite that fact, it is still a close election

Conclusion: 1. Americans are living on an other planet 2. Or, they have been brain washed (you figue out how) 2. Race – it is just hard for some folks to see a black man in the White House; 3. Keeping up appearances – me, myself, and I at the ballot box (a vote cannot lie).

Eric–you need to wake up . If we vote McCain and the idiot–we'll be the laughing stock of every country…He's an old man with an old point of view .He's out-dated in this world–if this was 1960 that would be something else.

EVERYBODY GET OUT THERE AND VOTE–THIS IS THE OCTOBER SURPRISE ROVE WASN'T HOPING FOR

I'll believe it when I see it. We've had polls like this in both of the previous elections, and neither ended as predicted. I want Obama to win for all kinds of reasons. Mostly because having someone less intelligent than the average American in the White House has proven you do actually need to know what you're doing in order to run the country.

I just can't fathom where we'd be if we had another 4 years of incompetence running the country. One thing to remember is that regardless of who wins, the cost of the previous 8 years will affect both of their terms, and probably the next 4 after that. The price and sacrifice we'll have to pay to put all this right will make whoever leads the country next an extremely unpopular President.

I hope all of you blacks out there remember one thing–the bradley effect, this is what is going to save john mccain because we do not need a racist like Obama and his wife!

LOL…. POCHOLO…

ONE THING REPUBLICANS HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH IS BEING LOUD.

AND WRONG.

Drew, maybe you should reevaluate that comment. If there are so many "pro-obama" posts, maybe you should starting think about the possiblity that YOU might be missing something…..

Hi Griff, If you're going to write the word naive, learn how to spell it first.
Obama/Biden 08

I know this sounds rudimentary…but: the only way Obama is going to win this is if the Dems get out an vote. Traditionally, they don't. GOP voters tend to have high turnout, and Dems low…which is why, despite there being more registered Dems, the GOP tends to win the White House.

So…GET OUT AN VOTE!!!! Don't come up with an excuse not to.

This is all fine and good but this news should not lull them into thinking they are going to win the election. It is time for the campaign to press hard and keep the gains in their pocket and not throw them away with any major slip ups.

"Truly American",

You sound just like a McCain ad. Perhaps you should look into both candidates policies before you go running your mouth just regurgitating the lies fed to you by the Repubs.

Take a look at realclearpolitics election tracker. 325 Obama, 183 McCain.

Obama supporters: there's really no point arguing with the McCain supporters and the faux democrats. It's like trying to win an argument with a brick wall. Just let them spew their childish hate, and enjoy their whining and ranting when Obama wins.

McCain made a huge mistake picking Palin over Romney, and the Republican party made a huge mistake picking McCain over Romney. I think I will sit this election out or maybe vote Bob Barr.
ROMNEY 2012 ROMNEY 2012 ROMNEY 2012 ROMNEY 2012

Obama would have never become the Democratic nominee if not for voter fraud. Are we going to stand by and let him steal the White House or do we demand that our leaders closely safeguard the polls and eliminate voter fraud. SPEAK UP people! Hold your elected officials accountable! Watch, listen, be vigilent and call your Election officials to make sure this election is on the up and up. Most importantly, watch for buses and suspicious activity on election day and REPORT IT! Visit caucusanaylsis dot org for examples of how Obama is stealing this election!

Obama is a joke…..He has not a clue on politics. He said the other day when the stock market fell oh if you need me just call. He has no experience on politics and shows it everyday. I think the democratic party should not have pushed him like they did because now we don't have a democrat running that knows what day it is….DuH!

a vote for nader or green party or any third party is a wasted vote. there is no way they will win.
Vote Obama BIden 08/12

Come on CNN- no posts all week

Both young
Both gifted
Both "minorities"
Both untested.
Both deliver a prepared speech really well.
One has NO experience, the other has little experience.
One party adores their do-nothing candidate the other is proud of their know-nothing candidate.

For the first time in my adult life I am REALLY proud to be an American.

Obama better for America by Americans!!!

Obama must be winning. The right wingers are getting nastier and nastier. I hear panic in their voices. How some people can fall for the same old lies over and over again is beyond me. "The Nightingale" is a real piece of work with his/her comment on Obama's wife. I guess all women are supposed to be yahoos like pathetic Palin, the wolf and polar bear killer.

it is Change We Need. We can't afford four more years.

innerwellth October 1st, 2008 4:29 pm ET

Truly American – I totally agree with you! I cannot believe Americans are falling for Obama! He's a TALKER NOT A DOER!! Look at his record, there is absolutely NOTHING on it! No experience! He's never run a business, a city or a state!! You're going to entrust our nation into his hands? You're falling for the "used car salesman" that's all I can say. I really thought Americans were smarter than that!!
______________________________________

Are you sure you are not writting about McCain here???

We need to keep this going in the right direction! Spread the word … get involved … donate if you can!!!!

Turn VA BLUE!
Obama/Biden 08 and beyond!!!!!!!!!!

I see some people are saying that Obama is like a " saviour" .

I HOPE THAT PEOPLE THINK BEFORE THEY VOTE …

It is his unpredictable, belligerent and jump first before thinking that got his campaign to go south. His campaign was never suspended, he just said it but never follow.

Isn't it amazing how many of those who vote do so on emotions not facts! Follow the money trail of the banks and loan programs which failed and you will see why the Senate wants the whole thing reolved quickly without a real explanation! If you want a government which is socialist and with out individual freedoms, then you know who to vote for!

finally americans are starting to realize that mcain and sarah palin are unfit to rule the country. Palin has no experience whatsoever and McCain is just 8 more years of bush

It looks like the paleface has had his run of luck and finally the white buffalo will have it's day. Come on Obama lets go all the way.

Ok so Obama's ahead big deal if we all don't go out and vote on Nov 4th the polls are for nothing. Please Obama supporters on Nov 4th.
GO OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should be a bigger gap than that! If Obama wasn't black he would be ahead by 30 points. It's all those hateful folks down in the southern states with way too many electoral votes. Give me a break you McCain bloggers, are you really that impressed by McCain and is short temper. A self admitted no nothing about the economy man. Or is the very sharp Palin that get's you, the one that cannot hold interviews because she knows nothing! Even the agreement on the debate had to be prescript questions so they can coach her. She can't even name one single supreme court case. And just think, this pin head could be our President.

Oh wow, does anyone notice how many light red states there are now. LA, GA, AR, NC. Those use to be solid red. Looks like there might be more toss up states in the next couple of weeks.

I need a President that can be cool and calm under fire and crisis. That's leadership.

Hey CNN – you only post the pro obama messages?

I have to say that after all the smearing.. all the conservative talk shows trying to kill his campaign, after all the blogs trying to destroy him… Obama just stays cool, calm, collective, organized, and unlike McCain, has no problem looking his opponent in the eye.

You repub conservative far right whackos can say what you like.. but in the end… you have to admit that throughout all this adversity, Obama is one tough sob… and I'll be looking forward to having someone of his character and intelligence in the white house. It'll be a great change from the pandering, vacationing, below average IQ leadership we've had in the last 8 years.

Go Obama/Biden '08 …….Time for the change

Even McCain couldnt believe he went through this path of lies, smears and dishonorable campaign. I was online last night and watched the view again. i saw Bab asked mccain…"what happened to you"? this is not the McCain of 2004..that is completely true. I am an african american looking to see good campaign this yr. Untill the smears started and McCain was quoted saying he did the smears cos Obama wont agree to do 10 town hall meetings!!! I was so sad for a man who i used to hold so high allowed himself to be dragged down like a little child. It prompt me to ask same question…WHERE IS THE MCCAIN OF 2004?

I guess gone like Titanic…

It is not amazing that the McCain campaign is now whining about Gwen Ifill — just because she has a forthcoming book which covers Obama. His campaign is getting exposed for what it is and is fast losing ground in key states. So, he has to do any thing and every thing to change the headlines. A black reporter is not capable of maintaining professionalism — even one of Ifill's stature.

I hope the American people are seeing through this maneuvers — maneuvers designed to hoodwink the American electorate. No more 2000! No more 2004! Truth is going to prevail this time around.

What John King isn't saying is that Obama are up in the poll by 8-10 points in VA, NC, OH, PA, CO and FL. So those state are really blue. These polls can be so conflicting or bias to John King's candidate McCain.

Obama was pre-selected as democratic nominee- can not set the bar any lower than that.

Hillary took the bullets during the debates- Obama just agreed with her when possible or evaded the question altogether.

No one has ever tried to humiliate or entrap or stump Obama.

The spin has always been in his favor.

Beware all!!!!! It's time for an October surprise…. Maybe Bin Laden? who knows?? I don't trust those Republican Hypocrites…..The debate should spawn plenty of SNL comedy…

Go Obama / Biden…….Time for the mind change.

Mccain busy rescuing Palin. Obama busy working up the white house to Rescue America from economic crisis!!

Probably helps that 95 Democrats helped fail the bailout bill just to keep Obama gaining in the polls.

The Republicans are in denial after 8 years of getting their way. They simply cannot believe that this close to the election Obama is so far
ahead not only in the national polls but in the electorial college vote count. Oh and for those of you who now favor dispensing with the EC I want to know how you felt in 2000 when GWB lost the popular vote but got elected thanks to it. Sorry Fox crowd. Your time is up but thanks for playing.

I can only hope the swing states can get past their stereotypical views of color and vote for what is RIGHT! We need intelligent, thought out well managed, moral, fair government that works for US, not for big oil and big insurance. Obama/Biden have shown consistantly that they are caring and intelligent people who think of more than themselves. They understand the complexities of the world and are the only ones who can regain the respect of the rest of the world.

Go Obama/Biden '08 …..Time for the mind change.

I love it. I just hope McCain and Sarah will keep lying their heads off.

Obama/Biden 08

And to think went the market crisis happened a couple days ago
Obama just said call me if you need me… He is a joke and had no idea what to do so he did nothing nor offered to go to Washington like McCain did. Obama has no backbone and cannot handle pressure. But then he has no politic experience….Duh!

WE ARE IN THE HOME STRETCH! OBAMA/BIDEN

I will predict that NC WILL BE BLUE!

BRIDGE & ROAD TO NOWHERE October 1st, 2008 4:06 pm ET

THANK YOU GOD…I AM GRATEFUL YOU ARE WORKING AT NOT LEAVING THE USA WITH MCCAIN & PALIN FOR THE NEXT 4 YRS.
——————-

That's right… God selected Obama for this job… and you wonder why we say Obama has a cult.

Typical Nut -job!

NoTrustInPolitics October 1st, 2008 4:07 pm ET

As I always say, polls and everything based on them are unreliable.
———————————————————————————————-

Whatever, you would be blowing your trumpet and spouting bull for McStain if the polls were going the other way.

now let's keep going all the way to NOv4. I think it was vey imprtant for all of the voters to see what Palin brought to the ticket, which is nothing but insecurity. Mccain made a bad judgement call, and I am sure he is regretting it. Palin di great with teleprompters and speeches, but she turned out to be one dunmb beuaty queen. Mccain is compulsive and thinks of votes only. Americans are smarter than that and now we're taking our elections and our white house and our economy and futures much more seriously.

YEAH!!! It's true OBAMA will Win. Muslims for Barack Hussein Obama. You are our savior and can't wait to break bread in our new house ..the White House. GO OBAMA… ALL THE WAY!!!

Montana, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Indiana should be yellow as well. Wisconsin should be leaning Obama and Texas should be leaning McCain.

I personally think we’ll see a huge surprise in November when Obama takes Texas, Montana and Indiana as McCain takes Michigan, Washington and Maine.

This map is full of it

This is good news for once, but as many others have already noted – let's not get complacent yet and think that this is over. We still have to win this thing for Obama, and that means getting everyone possible to vote for him. The GOP will not go down without a protracted and dirty fight. So be it. I've made some headway recently in convincing some conservatives to vote for one of the other third party candidates. While I'd prefer a vote for BHO, I'll be satisfied with a few less votes for McCain. I'm in Ohio and I still have my doubts that we can take this state. The traditions of this sub-culture don't favor a progressive minded person like Mr. Obama. No point in getting down about it. We still have to fight hard and work for every vote. Good luck to all of the other BHO supporters in the battleground states. We're in this together.

"The Black-Man's controle of a Super-Power… You will have to live with this, Pure-Stupidity. Remember I warned you!!! Adolf Hitler,had nothing on this Illusion."

Will a McCain supporter please step forward and denounce this man? For God's sake, I know people tend to believe what they're told when they're young, but at this point, it no longer makes sense to me.

Another point- Just because John McCain tells you something doesn't mean that it's completely true. Just because Barack Obama tells you something doesn't mean it's completely true. Do your own research, listen to both sides of the argument, and then do a bit of critical thinking. Blind, ignorant, brainwashed partisanship will be the death of democracy in the United States.

It is a really good news to America. Strong economy means power in terms of military and the likes. For the sack of this nation, republicans ought to put the country first by voting for Obama. Without strong economy, it will be hard to fight two wars much less supporting our allies. Ask the Soviets.

We all know that McCain will put a stunt out of his top hat before Nov. 4th. Do not believe his lies, fact-check everything he says!
Do not stop campaiging.
Do not stop volunteering.
Do not stop donating.
Volunteer to call battleground states.
Do your parts as Americans! I really believe in Obama and he needs our support and our vote. Let's unite and make this happen. It doesn't matter what party you belong to! Republicans, Democrats and Independents: UNITE!

Come on everyone. We have to stay strong for Barack and Joe. We had a fantastic primary and convention, now we have to produce. We have to have a historic election that will be earth shattering.

Get out there and work, work, work. Take anyone you can to the polls. Parents, don't forget your teenagers. Teenagers, don't forget your parents.

America deserves it.

Obama/Biden 08

Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh what a happy, happy day! I pray it stays this way till we get to the white house!!!!

Wish granted!

Seriously, it frightens me to see the pro-Obama posts on here. They all sound ridiculously uneducated. I hope that these are middle-schoolers voting, because I would be terrified to live in a country where the average voter posts things like:
"mccain is craping out"
"STAYFOCUSEDBARACK"
"go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Here I thought Obama's main support was with elites. Turns out his fan-base is elitist snobs and uneducated drones who don't know an inexperienced demagogue when they see one.

When did America become so easy to brainwash?

The large La Crosse, WI crowd was extremely pleased with Obama today. It's rare when a speech can actually bring tears of American pride. That's right, Obama instilled a pride I have not seen since shortly after 9/11.

The state papers will cover this over the next couple days. Wisconsin polls tend to show the effects in about 2 weeks.
Watch for Obama to lock up Wisconsin by mid-October.

I hope so. I hope it's none of that racial stuff where they say they will vote for Obama because they can't bear to tell a pollster they wouldn't vote for an African American. Our country needs a president with international appeal. The Bubba Six Pack president just didn't help us build good alliances.

Yay ! Hoorah for integrity, honesty, clarity, thought, reading, writing and hope!

Life…..There is no rewind button. We need to take this opportunity and continue to work until Barack Obama is in the White House. Make no mistake, everything possible to stop him will happen. When you vote, find another registered voter and take him/her with you. Encourage your family and friends to take the time and go to the polls on Nov. 4th.
Obama/Biden '08/'12!

I just think it's both sad and hilarious, as well as fitting and unsurprising, that McCain supporters are counting on racism to salvage his bid for the Presidency. But Will is right, we Obama supporters need to remain dilligent till the very end, to make sure that the these ruthless, heartless right-wingers who think that they are entitled to win every election don't cheat and steal their way into the White House by tampering with voting machines, dropping legitimate voters off of voter rolls, and trashing ballots that they don't like to win the election like they did in both 2004 and 2000.

Price for ticket to Vice President debate party at theater — $0

Price for Obama yard sign — $8

Watching Sarah Palin loose every shred of human dignity in front of 80 million people — PRICELESS!

America is slowly realizing that McCain is all about smash and grab, roughouse hardball politics. He's just another old school politics who is willing to overlook smears and lies to win.

America is tired of that junk & here is your proof. Obama will be our 44th president and we can be proud of that.

Polls don't vote, but if you put stock in them the only relevant ones are the ones the day before the election. We have 33 days to go. Do you leave the stadium and declare your team has won just because it's up by a few points in the third quarter?

YES WE CAN! I'll be one of those dancing in the streets on Nov. 5!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12!! CHANGE WE NEED!

Obama wins with the Kerry states plus Iowa, Colorado, and New Mexico. Those states give him 273 EV

Even throughout the Republican convention bounce he hung on to that 273 EV projection.

Now we have Indiana being somewhat competitive, Ohio and Florida and Nevada are still very tight but Obama is improving rather then falling there, and Obama is actually leading in Virginia and North Carolina. Real Clear Politics, which has been trending conservative in its estimates this election, have Obama getting a solid 301 EV, and other sites project even more.

It's morning in America.

I'm from Minnesota and I don't understand these polls!!!! Each time a new poll comes out, it goes from a 10+ point Obama lead to a dead heat. This has happened at least 4 times now. I think these pollsters need to take a better look at their methods.

Means nothing until Nov. 4th.

All of the people who are saying Palin should drop out are Conservatives, not Dems, believe me, we would rather have her stay in.

The people who need to see what Palin is really like, will never see the Kuoric interview. They will remain comfortably numb in their bubble.

I know lots of good smart, nice women, who are educated and nice to look at, but that doesn't mean that they should be Vice President.

………all those red states changing colors for the fall?

WHAT ABOUT THE SECOND BRIDGE TO NOWHERE??

WHY HAVEN'T GOVENOR SARAH PALIN BEEN HONEST IS THIS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THE MCCAIN CAMPAIGN???????

I wonder why won't you guys change Winsconsin and New Hampshire to leaning Obama. He's been leading in both states for weeks accordig to yourown election tracker map.

It is a realy good news for America. Without strong economy, it will be hard to fight two wars much less supporting our allies. Republicans ought to put the country first by electing Senator Obama. It simple as that. Strong Economy= Power in terms of strong military, influence, and several others. Ask the Soviets!. A well inform Republican should consider voting for the democratic ticket for the sack of this nation.

Brando, Man you are stuck on stupid huh?

You're a leghend in your own mind!

I love when Obama wins. I feel like a winner too!!

And this is why the McNipulator camp is trying to cast doubt on the VP debate moderator. More of their 11th hour politics. They have know of Ifle's book for months (which is not a biography of Obama and even is about Republican Colin Powel as well as other socio-political African American leaders) This is an attemp to McNipulate voters to think Palin will be treated unfairly. Brokaw is a McCain supporter who has come under scrutiny for media bias toward McCain and he will be a debate moderator for an upcoming Pres. debate. Do you hear Obama's camp complaining? So do we only trust white male moderators to be fair ? This is more protect Palin boloni. It is also sexist and racial predudice to asume an African American women is less capable to fairly moderate than a white male. Google "Brokaw McCain supporter" and see what YOU think.

Voting early in NC for Obama – get paper records…. same as absentee

All 8 "toss-up" states will vote for Obama. He will also win in three or four states now leaning for McCain, North Carolina, Indiana, Georgia and West Virginia. Obama will get 400 electoral votes and win by 15-20 of the popular vote. Thank it to the bank!!!!

Didn't John McCain withdraw from a debate with George Bush when his poll numbers were sliding preciptiously? he seems to make a habit of running when the going gets tough.

oh happy day…oh happy day…

YES WE CAN!!!!!

PLEASE DONT RELY ON THE POLLS AN GO OUT AND VOTE…

I don't trust polls for many reasons. I believe Obama has been up by 6-10% the entire time.

I am 39 and know of only a hand full of friends and family with land line phones.

The republican posters here will probably say that you are biased for reporting that Obama is ahead, but then again, they whine about everything that isn't spun their way. Funny how I didn't see any negative comments from them when you kept reporting that McCain was ahead.

CLINTON DEMOCRATS FOR MCCAIN!!

GOOD OF COUNRTY OVER GOOD OF PARTY!!

MCCAIN IS THE BEST CHOICE FOR OUR COUNRTY

HE BRINGS THE RIGHT KIND OF CHANGE!!

CHANGE WITH EXPERIANCE!!

It is great to see Barack Obama and Joe Biden pulling away. Lets just hope the election is not stolen from them by voter fraud in the swing states or the electoral college. I do not want to see a repeat of 2000, with an "appointed" president. The electoral college better vote with the will of the people.

Wake up people before it's too late. You don't understand what harm Obama could do to this country. McCain is far from perfect, but his better than the alternative. Take it from a fellow Democrat who voted for Casey in 06, Kerry in 04 and Gore in 2000.

For the "nightingale"–I had the honor of being at an event recently at which Michele Obama spoke. She had had several other events and I would have been dead tired.

She spoke for 45 minutes, without a note. People made comments to her while she spoke and she wove them into what she was saying. It was the opposite of a "soundbite" or canned speech.

Mrs. Obama was charming, warm, genuine, funny, and stunningly bright. She is also exceedingly beautiful. I would say it was one of the most moving and impressive presentations I have ever seen.

I feel sorry for your inability to see a genuinely remarkable and admirable person.

The only time I will care about this map is on Nov 4th

Obama/Biden '08

To Nightingale in Berkley Square -

You can stop singing Obama is 10 points ahead on Mckiller in Ohio; so toss up is totally out of the equation. Little do you fools know that you need this man right. The blind leading the blind. McKiller wants your money just like he taking Ms. Mckiller money.

And to Pocholo – Stop being a racist and just come out of hiding and say what you feel. I mean really be an adult; I stopped playing hide and go seek and these silly games in elementary. How in the world can you guys trust a man whose telling you in your face he is going to take your money and cause many to suffer by giving you the same policies as Bush? Really do you guys care anything about our soldiers and their families? You people are not only sick but heartless and selfish.

Truly American – I totally agree with you! I cannot believe Americans are falling for Obama! He's a TALKER NOT A DOER!! Look at his record, there is absolutely NOTHING on it! No experience! He's never run a business, a city or a state!! You're going to entrust our nation into his hands? You're falling for the "used car salesman" that's all I can say. I really thought Americans were smarter than that!!

God Bless America! Yes, we really CAN!

Because of eonomy crisis, Obama will win. But you never know. America has not overcome racism and sexism yet.

Oh yeah, it's October, I wouldn't be surprised if Bush was keeping Osama Bin Laden in the basement of the White House. The GOP will bring out all the stops to win.

However, I will be strong, and I will VOTE for Barack Obama and Joe Biden in November.

Obama/Biden 08

republicans, you've had your chance, you've had your 8 years. now give the dems a chance. it's about time we feel like SOMETHING is going in our direction.

I expect more shift in electoral map towards Obama. Enough of same old eight years, this is the begining of a new dawn. Vote Obama, vote a new begining, vote a change you desire in washington.
Vote now and vote for Obama/Bidden ticket.

*yawn*
the election is still more than a month away. it was less than a month ago that mccain had a 6-point edge on obama. a lot can happen.
besides, i think these polls are really innaccurate.
i find it funny how whenever the politcal ticker posts good news for obama, there's an influx of posts that just say "OBAMA O8!!! OMG HES SO GOING 2 KICK JON MCCAINS BUT!!!"
who are the 12 year olds posting on CNN's political blog?

Wait until people find out how deeply involved Obama has been in this financial mess, along with many other democrats(Carter, Clinton, Frank, Dodd, etc., etc.)

Has any ticket ever won EVERY state? I ask because after tomorrow's VP debate, we might very well see the entire country lean heavily toward Obama-Biden….

Kerry was up, Gore was up….. who cares about polls?

YES WE CAN!! Looking good!!

Obama/Biden '08

Suggested headline: McCain Circling the Drain

thank god the country is pulling together for the change we must have to heal us from bush.
mcain is an angry old man that makes such bad judgements and palin was the final nail in his coffin. i am so glad this is backfiring on the republicans. they look at us average peoplea as if we are not smart enough to make change happen. well i for one and being white and middle aged am grateful for all that are coming on board and supporting barack obama.

Americans, at last are sincerely and honestly seeing the TRUTH.

The house for sale is one of the McCain's former homes. Sold to another person a few years ago and now being re-sold again.

I am surprised that Obama has not pulled away in the current environment. In the past two and half weeks, the news was almost exclusively on the financial crisis. The party in the white house of course would be punished because of this. However, Obama still has not closed the sale. Actually. the trend toward Obama has stopped or even reversed in the recent days. ABC/Washington Post poll gave Obama advantage of 4% down from 9% and Gallup tracking poll gave Obama advantage of 4% down from 8 or 9%.

If Obama lost the election, you would blame his cautious approach. Obama could deliver the knock down punch during the debate. John McCain went to the debate with a big chain on his neck. Jim asked the question about the financial crisis. Obama did score points on the question. But he should have seized the opportunity to give McCain a fatal blow. McCain successfully shifted the debate to spending and earmarks and Obama egaged McCain on those topics.

Who in the world would vote for a woman as VP that names her two boys "Track" and "Trig" ??? What, were they named after sled dogs or something? Palin is one weird chick ….

It's very far from Election Day. This really doesn't mean anything. I believe Gore and Kerry were up in the polls at this point too… and it can't really get any worse for McCain right now, so don't count your chickens Obamaphiles

McCain/Palin '08
HILLARY 2012!

Like I'm going to really believe anything CNN puts out. The only numbers that count are on Nov. 4.

Just Ohio away, weeeee

That's our man! I don't even think CNN's electoral map is representative of what is going on in America – its a little bit behind.

The results of November 4th may be a surprise to some, disappointing to others. But to millions – this is what we've been waiting for. Obama will be the leader of the free world for at least the next four years – and he is going to win by a landslide. Obama has more supporters in America than the media can keep up with.

Obama/Biden '08 – you should still tell your friends, but they already know

HEYYY REPUBLICAN ROBIN HOOD COMING FOR YOU VOTE FOR ROBIN HOOD (OBAMA/BIDEN 08)

We can't let down now. I'm pretty sure there's an Operation Chaos initiative to respond positively for Obama, even if you're a McCain supporter. Trying to lull the Obama supporters into a sense of complacency so they won't feel the need to work so hard. Don't fall for it!!

Work hard, talk to people, volunteer for the campaign and VOTE!

Sarah Palin is a threat to the national security of our country. The fact that McCain chose her is a direct affront to his judgment on national security.
Being a POW is evident of judgment gone wrong allowing him to be
captured. If he is thinking of "country first", Palin is not qualified.

America is waking up—we're Americans and WE CAN DO BETTER.

Obama/Biden 08

Most Americans believe Republicans caused this entire mess of the U.S. economy. Many can easily conclude that it was McCain who threw his name right in the mix of specific blame with his gamble to jump start his campaign by saying he had suspended it to go to DC to help with the bailout last week. Everyone knows, certainly this frequent commenter, that McCain's plan was a stunt to stimulate votes – it has clearly backfired, because there is no bailout bill vote in place. Americans are upset with Congress and now John McCain and the polls are starting to show it!

Yes!! Finally we can become socialist! Maybe even communist if were lucky! Obama will turn the streets into candy and the world will love us. I cant wait.

This economic meltdown is exposing the Republicans greed and their lack of concern for the MAJORITY OF NON-RICH in this country for over the last 8 years. America CANNOT WITHSTAND McBUSH!

Don't hate you right wing nuts, just go away al ready please. Time is up for you right wing nuts and you rnutting tickey McNut/sMcStupid.

I WONDER WHICH LEGACY BUSH PREFERS:

…A LYING PRESIDENT WHO TOOK AMERICA INTO AN UNNECESSARY WAR

OR FOR

BANKRUPTING AMERICA!

Yes!
Ken John Mccain and Barbie Sarah Palin will go back to where they were.

THANK YOU AMERICA!

Now is not the time for a happy dance, [though you might be able to spare a few seconds] we have to get to work and make sure people are registered to vote. Oct. 4 is the deadline for many states, so let get a move on it.

Our country cannot afford/take/handle/endure four more of the last eight years.

Obama/Biden '08

From observing many past elections, polls only show where the candiates stand so far in the battle for the White House. In reality, polls are not really reliable. The real poll will be on Nov. 4th and the result will be Obama. Democrats have registered so many more voters than Republicans and have a huge staff to get out the vote. And don't forget that a lot of people with cellphones are not included in this poll…..so the numbers should be bigger i nfavor of Dems. We will all see in Nov…….Go BAMA!!!!

Cant wait till they burn down Sarah "Punchline" Palin after the investigation…. Lets not elect more overtly corrupt leaders?
no way
no how
no McCnasty
no Punchline Palin

Colorado 08 Obama/ Biden

Okay, this map changes daily. It's frustrating. Can we keep the electoral map hidden 'til 1 week prior to the election?

Let's focus on the issues!!!!!

McCain doesn't UNDERSTAND that people are suffering. We want a president with some real answers, not platitudes.

Obama/Biden 08

Just goes to show that this financial disaster we are all in can't afford to go down the drain for four more years. McCain may be a good man, but the country is in dire straits now and over the next few years. Have to go with what makes sense, and that is Obama.

I keep hearing from McCain supporters about Obama's lack of experience being an issue. The reality is the presidency is more about judgment and the ability to adapt to difficult situations than experience. Let's look at McCain's record. In all of those years of experience, outside of traveling to various war-torn countries, what has he really done? He would make an excellent secretary of state but frankly he hasn't seemed to express a real lasting interest in anything here at home (aside from his 13 cars and 8+ homes). Then let's turn to judgment; which person voted for a war that didn't make sense at the time and makes even less sense today? Time and again, we hear from Mr. McCain how we "can't lose the war". My question is two fold, (1) if we shouldn't have been there to begin with, why are we there now and (2) what does victory actually mean? McCain simply can't answer these questions and lacked the judgment to make the right call in the first place. Experience did a lot here, didn't it. Obama-Biden in 2008!

Thank you Sarah Palin!!

GIVEN THE AGE OF JOHN McCAIN, AT 72 YEARS OLD AND S. PALIN'S NOT BEING READY TO HANDLE ANY CRISIS THAT WE MAY ENCOUNTER, THIS RACE IS ALL OVER.
THE LAST 8 YEARS OF DISASTER BROUGHT UPON US BY GEORGE BUSH SHOULD NOT BE REPEATED. WE THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREAT NATION, DO NOT DESERVE ADDITIONAL 4 OR MORE YEARS OF DISASTER.
AMERICA IS BLEEDING ECONOMICALLY, MILITARILY, SOCIALLY AND PHYSICALLY.
GEROGE BUSH DID ENOUGH DAMAGES TO OUR COUNTRY THAT COMING GENERATIONS, GENERATIONS WITH THE LETTER (S) WILL NEVER FORGET IT.

while this obama supporter is relieved with these polls, I do not pretend to think its in the bag! This is going to be close, and remember the voting machines will break, and get rigged…remember the Chad! Don't let Diebold decide the election with its rigged for republicans machines!

Ah yes! Keep that trend going! Sing REAL soon fat lady, REAL soon! McCain made himself look like an idiot galloping up to Washington to save the day and KNOWING he could do nothing to help, he just made himself look stupid and now it's costing him, lol! Obama didn't go until he was requested to appear because, unlike McStain, he did not want to inject politics into the delicate vote, but McFullDepends did not care and now he pays. When Failin Palin gets hammered and school by the Bidenmaster, this will be a final nail in McCryptKeeper's coffin. O-BAM-A! O-BAM-A!

Palin is an insult to all women. Does she think we are dumb, that we don't know those cheap tricks she tries to play to sway men over to her side. She can't even name one newspaper she has read and she want to hold the 2nd and maybe the 1st highest office in America. Women, please, we will have our chance, but not with Palin, if you elect her you will set this country back for women for 20 years, because people will look back and say, we let the women have their say and look what they put in office, never again!!! Right now we have "have a beer with George" and Six Pack Palin. One in the same. Two unintelligent people

Boy this great news. Maybe america is finally waking up. And i guess as Sarah(would say) this is a task from God. Lets hope and pray he does the biggest task of all is too take these two out of the election for once and all.

It's still early but lets keep the momentum going. Go Obama/Biden team!!

The trends should continue towards Obama, as long as we can stay on the issues.

McCain will try to divert us to some stupid social issue as soon as he possibly can, but I think the country has had enough.

If you are happy with the way things are going, if you are happy with the way things are, if you think that we are on the right track, then by all means, vote for McCain.

If you are not happy with the way things are going and you honestly believe that we need to go in a different direction, in this country, then you cannot put the same party in power.

It really is that simple.

McCain is a Repug, he will never balance the budget. He will give you a tax cut though and borrow the rest from China. Hope you don't mind your kids and grandkids being slaves to the Chinese. Trickle down has always been about smoke and mirrors. Enjoy your life on the backs of your descendents….lucky you. Very honorable.

Things are looking better for Americans hoping for CHANGE, but we need to be aware there are more swift boats waiting and dirty tricks around the bend. We need to keep donating and working for Obama.

This is coming from an ex-Republician

Keep them coming,,,….
Obama all the way….
want a President smarter than me!!

Laaaaaaaaaaaaand slide!!

THE REPUBLICAN DICTATORSHIP IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEAL WITH IT PEOPLE!

Obama's new favorite song – Fleetwood Mac's "LANDSLIDE"

Hey Nightingale – McCain is going to make sure you get your tax cut?? Which Fortune 500 company are you CEO? I'm gonna go ahead and guess you make LESS than 250K a year and will receive a tax cut if you vote for the other guy….

OHIO PEOPLE – STOP VOTING AGAINST YOUR OWN BEST INTERESTS!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 – 2016

McCain has totally imploded he took solid leads in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Missori and is now losing in all of them. In Ohio and Florida he took a 3-6 point lead and is now losing by 8 points. He has no idea what he's doing politically he needs to get back on the campaign trail instead of waiting around hoping for something bad to happen to Obama.

one can hope and I do have the audacity to hope–and not just for myself.
peace

Thank you America. Ohio will also go Obama. McCain and Palin will be another 4 more years of Bush. McCain is starting to look like an angry man, his temperment is very bad.

Obama / Biden '08

Please get out and vote!

God always chooses WISE or Intelliegent leaders, not experienced and hardened leaders!!!! Just read up on King Solomon…

Addendum to previous post: Ditto to the one who is warning against complacency in the Obama camp. Beware of thieves in the night and fouled up voting machines!

It will be interesting to see if any of the polls will ever show a landslide for Obama.

I mean, if they showed a landslide the election isn't as interesting so they lose viewers. Less viewers means less advertising revenue.

It pays to show things close as long as possible!

Looks like I'm not the only one who is skeptical about McCain and his silly side-kick.

The light at the end of the tunnel is in sight . Its been a long hard battle against smear tactics, lies, insinuation and innuindo, thinly vailed racial attacks and outright incompetence.

Obama will win in November despite the attempts by the Republican Right and Dems in our own party to snuff him out of this race!

Polls doesn't mean anything if they do not include younger people. ONe day up one day down. who cares… gimmi a break.. go vote first be4 u celebrate..
yahoo… let's watch debate… who care about polls..I care about votes.

For CNN voters not middle America!

Better step up the efforts to rig those voting machines in inner city and minority communities Republicans…

The Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square – No you right wing nuts are the recking ones and the American people said an enough if enough. No way Palin, No way Mcsame.

Waiting for McCain's next dramatic move. He seems to respond to polls in interesting and novel ways.

Nonetheless…thrilled to see the map colors turn to Obama's advantage!

It looks like the people are finally seeing the election for what it really is. The old stay the course to doom or the make changes now and watch the ship be righted.

The map is starting to look promising for dems.

Nightingale – I don't have much opinion on Michelle Obama, but have you looked at Cindy McCain? Rich, jets, outrageously extravagant clothes, a former drug addict, stole from her charity, looks like she's suffering from anorexia, and now is apparently auctioning off the family estate – the 13 bedroom family estate. Why are they selling the house? Trying to reduce the number from 8 to 7? The estate could count as about 6 average homes in the US….

Check CNN Videos to see the McCain compound that's up for auction…

After November, people will have a new definition for the Bradley effect, they will call it the Obama effect. He needs to be up by 10 points to come out even.

McCain is selling one his 13 bedroom mansion and that will "only" leave him with a measley 7 homes.

It doesn’t matter. Barack ain’t gettin’ 270 EV come Nov. It’s all about the Electoral College, stupid. Leave it to the democrats to snatch defeat! from the jaws of victory! for the third time in a row. (00′, 04′, 08′). When will they (finally) learn? Hopefully by 2012. You got 4 yrs, DNC. You’ve! been! warned!.

McCain has suspended his compaign. Now that he is going down in a hand basket, should he end it?

I think the suspension was a ploy on the part of McCain people to catch the Obama team offguard or to lull them into believing that his compaign is not up to the challenge and then go hard on the attack .

I hope the Obama team will not fall for that trick and will keep pounding until a landslide victory. No more repubs this year.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

There will dancing in the streets on election day!

Ohio for Obama/Biden 08′

Pocholo: The same could be said about Obama supporters. By the way, this "Country First" slogan is a slap in the face to those countries who Bush coerced into joining in the illegal war, thus losing their own sons of the soil. God first!

November 4th will mark the Death of Fascism in America!

Thank God, but lets keep our focus up until this election is over. We all know that McSane is going to pull some crazy trick. What scares me is that we don't know what nutting thing McSane will put out of this rabbit hat next.

YES WE CAN BYE BYE MCBUSH AND BARBIE PALIN YESSSSSSSSSSSS MY DAY JUST GOT BRIGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!CHANGE IS COMING REAL CHANGE GOOD CHANGE CHANGE WE FINALLY NEED IM DONATING MORE MONEY NOW SO THAT WHOLE MAP WILL TURN BLUE!!!!!!

McCain is clueless and risky on economic issues.

Yes we can!!!

Great news… The trend should keep growing!

The only REAL poll, at least counts, is on November 4th!!!!

We shall see.

American are beginning to show good understnading.

Period!

these polls are lies. remember in new hampshire when hillary was 20
points down and she still WON.

Seems like gambling McCain is craping out!!!! Yes we can.

Obama/Biden 08!!!

States that were solid red this morning are only leaning in McCains favor now. It dosn't look good for McCain camp with only 34 more days left. Anything can happen I guess but us Obama supporters have been mobilized for months!

Higher Taxes-Obama
No experience- Obama
Far Left Liberal-Obama
Big Government- less in my pocket- Obama

I don't know what you people are thinking.

I don't like polls, and don't want Obama or the campaign camp to get relaxed. Just keep registering new voters the more the better.

STAYFOCUSED OBAMA!

There is no way I can vote for a Palin/McCain ticket. Sorry. I'm not buying the bull

Yes we can, yes we are, and yes we WILL!

LOL….. LISTEN TO THE BIG BAD REPUBLICANS WHISTLE PAST THEIR OWN GRAVEYARD.

Are people realizing that John "Fundamentals are Strong" McCain is just 4 more years of Bush Economics? At any rate, Johnny Mack is going to get even nastier in the next 5 weeks.

NO WAY, NO HOW MCCAIN/PALIN….AND THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!

I hope and pray that WE demoncratics get in office. Oh heavenly Father, I'm praying that you see that the best person for the job wins which is Obama

The American voter sees Palin for what she is! A 'Post Turtle'.

I suspect that most of you don't know what a "Post Turtle" is, so I'll help you out….When you're driving down a country road you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'Post Turtle'.

Come on…you know she didn't get up there by herself, she don't belong up there, she don't know what to do while she's up there, and you just wonder what kind of dummy put her up there to begin with.

McCain will serve the few, the proud, the LOBBYISTS. He's sworn his allegiance to the top 1%.

When someone cant preach to your needs, they'll never be able to reach out to policies that will help you.

Again, an ELEPHANT is an elephant. He'll want his PEANUTS and ocean of water to bathe in, with his friends.

It's time for a DONKEY..

I wish they'd get rid of the electoral college. The reasons it was created don't exist anymore, and we should elect a president based on the popular vote. I really don't care which states' electors is going for whom. I want a popular voted-in president.

Good news, but be careful. 34 days is a long time in politics to make a mistake.

You need to move Colorado into lean Obama and Indiana and North Carolina into Toss up.

Only one electoral map will matter…the one showing at the end of the day on 11/4.

Obama and Biden supporters! Regardless of these numbers or how Sarah P does at the debate, call up your local Barack Obama office and get involved. If you can afford it go to his website and give money to the campaign.

Let's get 'er done!!!

Let's do the right thing Missouri. Shake off these Republicans for the Show-Me State!

The weak and shameful republican ticket shows a level of degradation of this party. Desperate and disgusting attemts to save election (including ads and Sara Pailin choice) do not help. The game is over as in the Clinton's case but media needs to present the race close to keep our interest. Be prepare for a new Preesident of the United States – Barack Obama.

obama has intergrity, he's what our country needs.

Media likes spin!!!

CNN never tells us the truth!

Even if Senator Obama loses(not likely), I will not blame it on race,
because I am so proud of the way that whites and blacks and all races
have rallied for the good of the country. I have not seen this type of
unity in all of my years. And it feels good. I am so proud of Americans of this generation. Let's make this a reality by actually voting in record numbers. God bless Senator Obama and the country.

Yes We Can!!!! Democrats 08.

The winner is clear when the game is rigged.

Tired of being told what to do by the corporate two party system?

Vote Green Party. At least educate yourself and read the web site.
gp dot org

Me so happy!

Hey Republicans…

go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 we need you. Biden and you are really great honest people we need to wash off GOP and get our country back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stop the racist comments on cnn too and think smart race doesnt matter anymore we need to solve problems and stop pointing fingers!!!!!!!!

The Obama, Drama! The Black-Man's controle of a Super-Power… You will have to live with this, Pure-Stupidity. Remember I warned you!!! Adolf Hitler,had nothing on this Illusion.. You are so nieve CNN..
So Stuck in your own Glory!!!!

JOHN MCCAIN IS BUSY RESCUING SARAH PALIN FROM AMERICANS WHILE OBAMA STAYS FOCUSED ON RESCUING AMERICANS IN THE THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS. IS JOHN MCCAIN PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST OR RESCUING PALIN FIRST?

Say it loud, say it proud! Hope feels GOOD!!!

It ain't over til the fat lady sings, let's get Palin some food…I want her to sing it for all of us!!

Thats just what we expect up Obama

North Carolina. Obama now leads. North Carolina should shift to Toss-Up

the only poll that counts is the one on 11/4
make sure you get out and vote, and if the lines are long wait…every vote is important.

I'm voting early this Saturday for Obama (in Ohio). My mind was already made up in 2004 after Obama spoke at the convention. I see him as very intelligent and his heart is in the right place. This nation needs to heal the divisions that started in 2000.

Hey don't put Ohio is a toss up. Ohio is sold for McCain. And rightly so. McCain will ensure we get a tax cut and he will balance the budget. He will bring the troops home from Iraq with honor while securing that oil rich country thus preventing Iran from taking control of it.

Obama is risky and he will give a speech but I don't trust him or his wife. Isn't his wife a piece of work?

McCain will take action while Obama will give a speech. You decide.

Am happy to see the American voters realizing who
can best lead our country.
Mccain/palin's lies, distortions and attacks are catching
up with them and people are tired of the dirty politics.
And the republican leadership.

Obama supporters do not become complacent. Make sure you and every Obama supporter you know shows up to vote.

Diebold is still out there. Vote paper if you can.

Cool… I guess this is a feel-good story for all that back Obama. However, a poll result and 4 quarters is still worth a dollar.

Prepare yourself for a few acts of desperation from the GOP Camp.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssss
wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
cccccccccccccccccccccaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

As I always say, polls and everything based on them are unreliable.

Spinning Spin!

THANK YOU GOD…I AM GRATEFUL YOU ARE WORKING AT NOT LEAVING THE USA WITH MCCAIN & PALIN FOR THE NEXT 4 YRS.
