Interesting that in the primaries Obama changed the way votes are counted,(not counting all the states) now he has found a way to take the most important state for his opponent and hold votes early. They are not even checking Id in that state. They are also allowing people to register and vote on the same day. The federal govt. has a regulation that states that a voter must register a minimum of 30 days before voting. Funny how rules always bend his way. rich,

When you all give your paychecks for the big government, business close down because of big democratic taxes, and even longer unemployment lines then we'll see who has the last laugh..
You sheep are so fooled..

He looks tired and probably regrets choosing Annie Oakley for his running mate. He totally screwed up and underestimated the intelligence of American people and specially women. He thought as long as he has woman as a running mate she can bring in the Hillary votes. Annie Oakley is no Hillary...she can never be Hillary. I am a middle aged white woman, voting for Barack Obama. Color must not be an issue in the election. We want an intelligent and capable president, who can lead us to the future, and who has the intelligence and vision to surround himself with experts and equally intelligent people. McCain is just too old to lead us in these complicated times we live in. Even though I respect his war record, it does not make a good president, it takes more than that.

Shut up! I despise his campaign, and what he has let himself become in this election. Primarily because the enormous amount of respect I had for him at one time... But I will always admire his service to our country and those of any other American in uniform. SONGBIRD MCCAIN... Shut up!

Increasing the tax rate from 25% to 63% at the top of the scale. The dramatic rise of income taxes in 1932 may have also prolonged the downturn. Also the sudden rise of global protectionism leading to the collapse of world trade. These are both the ideals of the Democrat party of today who constantly spout raising tax on the rich and trade tariffs What Caused the Great Depression?

WhY does he need 1 or 2 electoral votes from Maine. I hope he goes down with some dignity. I hope he dosen't get desperate and start attacking Obama in the only way Rove would think could change some votes. People do not want a 72 year old relic and a fortysomething barbie running the country. The polls will continue to turn in Obama/s favor because the level of ineptitude of the REpublican ticket is too great to hide. This looks like another impulsive decision from McBush.

Isn't the electorial college set up on an all or nothing premise by state? I thought you either win the state and all of the electoral voets, or you don't and you get none.
