americans are not that stupid as McShame thought they were.
His latest stunt with Palin did nothing but displayed how limited his intellectual abilities are.

Go Obama! Go Biden!

For all those that are actually thinking of voting mccain even though you know that Obama would be better for the country in ALL ways, remember this " The fundamentals of the economy are strong," spoken by your candidate mccain one week before this latest economic disaster.

Well, don`t know how much CNN considers Real Clear Politics as serious and respected source, but almost all figures there are "blue". for a couple of days. May be that Americans finally don`t like two "Joe Six Packs" in the White House. Congratulations P.S. At the end, I am still afraid that the "race issue" is still below the skin and in the soul of ordinary Americans.

Three things to be scared of, Obama's supporters. First, with that big of a lead, work is needed to make sure all the voters will show up on election day. Second, expect the GOPs to do everything, like they did in Ohio, to block new voters to register or scare away voters. Finally, we will have to endure four weeks of racist attacks on Omama from all the fake bloggers who are getting paid by McCain's campaign. Now that the lead is opening, their only possibility is to attack relentlessly and scare away voters. They already admitted it. It won't be pretty.

Got Hope?

Hey all, if you support Obama, this doesn't mean jack. We gotta show up to make it a reality. If you are young, if you are for Barack Obama, then these numbers are only a reality if EACH of you shows up at the booth Nov 4th.

The time is now, we are who we have been waiting for!

I didn't know that there is a "moderator". It is very good that CNN does that because of all the efforts to manipulate public opinion that are out there.

We're getting more ppl to go to pennsylvania to organize and work for obama. We hope thats ok with mccain and the republicans seeing their dislike for community organizers. We cant get comfortable here, we need to work as if we're 10 points down.

This site is in the tank for Obama. Cnn CNBC all are the same. They never report what really is going on. McCain will win in Ohio and in Florida because the people of these two states are smarter than to fall for Obama's words.

This is nice, but this article largely cites one poll (Quinnipiac). Some more "polling of polls" needs to be conducted, IMHO.

Watch Bush/Cheney Inc. order a new "Gulf of Tonkin style incident', or a new 9-11, blame it on Iran and thus once again use fear to manipulate the American people and media to continue the disasterous NeoCon legacy by stampeding them into voting for McCain. Or how about, yet again, the very "convenient" release of a Bin Laden video days before the election? I doubt there is little that they won't stoop to do to keep their very lucrative gravy train running along nicely, with the rest of us being "collateral damage".

Did anyone other than me recognize that he alone mentioned our standing in the world during the debate. Perhaps these recent polls indicate that A CHANGE IS GONNA COME!

I'm not surprised Obama is breaking away.......I've come to the conclusion that people hear what they want to hear. I'm listening now to Obama talk in La Cross, WI, and I'm so irritated I had to stop listening for now. He is blatantly talking about McCain's proposals as his own, just as he used the FDIC increase first proposed by the house republicans as his own. He's talking about cutting govt spending, to the point of going over every govt program one by one to cut out or cut spending. He is even talking about the amt of money sent overseasfor oil etc............and I cant' help but wonder bout the audience. Do they live in a cocoon? Did they listen to the last debate and hear McCain stick his neck out and say these very proposals that Obama is now claiming as his own? Lastly........I now know why I don't care for Obama. He will say anything, do anything, adopt anybody's words and ideas to win this election. For me, it leaves a nasty taste and shows a type of personality that send a shiver up my spine.

We come to the conclusion that change is really needed for us here in America. Obama/Biden is the two who will move this country into the 21 century.

Palin is clueless and McCain does not want change or he does not understand what we need, and it is not war. We crave peace and growth for the USA. Learning new techniques and a willinglyness to deal with other countries.

By: BT in Ohio

I believe that Obama/Biden will win Ohio. Very few people we talk to are planning on voting for McCain. Too many have lost their jobs and have come to realize that there are NO jobs to be found. Our unemplyment rate in my county in northern Ohio is over 7% now. I will be proud of my state on election day when Ohio puts Obama/Biden over the top! We simply cannot take another four years of the same failed policies of the Bush administration, and I believe with McCain that is what we will have. It's time for a real change, not just a slogan.

I will vote for the candidate who offers hope and has solid substance in realistic promises. Wont vote for the candidate who rides on fear mongering and is stuck in the past. Mccain needs to acknowledge that war is not the answer, that all wars cant be won and democracy cant be forced.

What happened to the polls are not accurate? Remember that ? I thought the pols don't contact the young. You dems are so funny. If it said McCain was up you would be crying the blues and saying they only pole the people that they want to so they get the result they want.

God bless America! I am still worried and the more I see McCain react to this crisis and Palin interviewing I am terrified as these two could run the Country really soon.... I am so happy to know that the polls are changing in favor of Obama ... that means more Americans see what I see and they are putting Country first..... this land is your land, this land is my land.... etc.... I love this Country so very much and I know we can not sustain another 3rd term of Bush as McCain is just the same. America we can do the right thing! We can vote for Change .... and get the respect we deserve aroundd the world. Yes we can!!!!!

Pls keep going ahead till you win in Nov 4th. All we care about is solutions to the crisis and real time American inteligence. We can not afford another dumb attempt of patrotic slanders. we are here today in this hole because a lot of people voted for "supposed patrotism" we have seen for 8 yrs that no matter how patrotic you claimed to be ...understanding the issues and taking right judgement and right vision for the country is the real patrotism.

I have this to say to Mccain...Why did you pick Palin?
Mccain you told Americans over and over again that we are in a dangerous times. Real treats to American security...Country first to... mention a few.
All this your statement are lacking in Sarah.. Republicans claim that executive experince is needed...Foreign policies are so important right now to our national security and economic policies.

We have seen how you tried to sway people and cancel tomorrow's debate buy claiming you suspended your campaign, it didnt work and u unsuspend it.
ARE YOU STILL TAKING PUBLIC FUNDS? Its 34 days to election and you not talking about it anymore.

These are great numbers for Obama and give clear padding for the upcoming VP debate as well as the final two Presidential debates. There is an also as of yet unheard of October Surprise in the face of Troopergate. As more evidence comes to light we see Palin using her office to add pressure for the firing of trooper Wooten and more disgusting, the severence of his benefits. Firing a man is one thing, taking away what he's earned is another entirely.

This month will be the month that Obama turns this into a landslide election.
