It seems as though these polls being relied on are out of touch. A lot of the analyses also seem to be flawed. I live in one of the larger towns in Montana and have seen one McCain bumper sticker and a few yard signs. Meanwhile, Obama/Biden stickers and signs are proudly displayed in all but the wealthiest neighborhoods. Every person I know is voting for Obama. Granted, there are smaller towns and ranching areas that may be red, but "blue" is a very large presence in my state.

During a recent visit to Texas I also noted the level of support for Obama versus McCain. As a native Texan who has long lamented the solid "red" status of my homeland, I was pleasantly surprised by the gains made by Obama all over south-central and south-eastern Texas. From ranchers to tattoo artists, construction workers to college students, support for Obama is inclusive.

I think there might be changed a-coming, despite results from the last few decades. I don't know if cell phone users are polled and, likewise, if first time voters are counted. All I know is, come November, I pray the Democrats take back the White House. We cannot afford, nor do I think we will survive, another four years under McCain and Palin.

please readers go to the huffington's post website to read about all the states that have been really polled by real polls………….

"On a conference call Thursday, the McCain campaign mapped out its electoral strategy for the remaining thirty days, with a focus on several states where the RealClear polling averages show Obama in front: Colorado (where Obama has a 4.4-point lead), Wisconsin (5), Pennsylvania (9.6), New Hampshire (5.6), New Mexico (7.8), Nevada (1.8)—and Minnesota."

no matter how CNN spins this NO WAY NO HOW NO MCPALIN MCBUSH-CHENEY-PALIN III

I registered to vote, verified, and verified agan. I'm ready to vote for Obama/Biden '08!

i wish one of the candidates would talk about,this mess with credit cards.they're robbing us blind,they are just as bad as wall street [let me hear from you]

I can tell you first hand that Colorado has now become a BLUE STATE, and will be chalked up as an Obama victory in November. The only people voting for Mcstupid are the white-trash people, the rich white racists, the illiterate, and the nutty Christian extremists (i.e. focusonthefamily). The majority of Coloradans reside in the Denver Metropolitan area, and are enthusiastic for an Obama administration.

YES WE CAN HEAL THIS NATION!

I find that hard to believe since I did business in Colorado for over 30 years and know a lot of people out there and there is one thing I know about those folks, they don't buy bs and that is what McCain is selling.

McCain was part of the team that pulled government contracts out of Colorado and sent the work (and jobs) to New Mexico and Missouri.

McCain is the problem folks, not any solution. But, if you loved George Bush, then I guess McCain is for you.

I don't know about the rest of you, but after being screwed for the last 8 years, i'm ready for the big O.

0/08

Asked yourself did you benefit by a Dem or Rep in the last four years. No jobs, a war that will not end under McCain. Wake up Americans. Obama/Biden is the men for the job. Palin is an educated idiot.

WAKE UP AMERICANS!

A few reasons to vote McCain/Palin:

Louis Farrakhan-Nation of Islam OBAMA PAL
Malik Shabazz -Black Panthers OBAMA PAL
William Ayres-Weather Underground OBAMA PAL
Jerimiah Wright-Anti American/anti-white hate monger OBAMA PAL
Fr. Michael Pfleger - likes little boys OBAMA PAL
Tony Rezko-Purchases Illinios politicians LIKE OBAMA

I believe one is defined by the company kept…NOBAMA BABY!

COUNTRY FIRST - OBAMA'S A PUTZ

Way to go Obama. If you can score a victory here in Colorado, this country may just have a good chance to get back on its feet! Do whatever you can to win Colorado……..NO MORE REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE!

Shame on the brainless 6-pack redneck Barbie for her shameful attacks. Where is your dignity Mrs Palin?

I respectfully disagree wth the "dead heat" CNN Poll. Other sources show Obama leading McCain.

However, if the "dead heat" status motivates Obama voters to get out there and show strength in numbers, then keep on reporting a "dead heat"

Onward the cause.

Have you been in the closet ? Wake up, maybe you just love the bimbo Palin or maybe you are really Todd the stupid husband trying to get her into the white house so that you can cheat on her again.

Folks - Colorado is home to Focus on the Family (James Dobson said in the primaries that he would NEVER vote for McCain but has changed his tune) and the infamous, self-righteous, evangelist Ted Haggart (who got caught doing drugs and cheating on his wife with a male prostitute). All those 'family value' folks lean far right. Very far right. I think the lack of oxygen at this altitude here messes with many peoples' heads and they can't think straight. It is a hard, uphill battle to get people to see the light, but the good news is that so many are tired of the same old crap! We are going BLUE this year, baby!!!!

The people in Denver, Aurora, Stapleton, Park Hill, Boulder, Green Valley and Montbello will turn Colorado from Red to Blue in November!

FOR ALL THE CONFUSED AND UNDECIDED VOTERS OUT THERE

If you are rich and you have a very large inheritance waiting for you when you reach retirement age-vote McCain

If you are like the rest of us, who hope to go to college, get a good paying job with health benefits and a good pension plan, own a home, buy a car and just be able to get credit in this country, the CHOICE is clear-VOTE OBAMA!

THE ONLY SENSIBLE CHOICE!!

LOOKS LIKE THE COLORADO KOOLAID IS WEARING OFF NOOBAMA

AS YOU READ THREW ALL THESE COMMENTS , THEY ARE ALL NEGATIVE ADDS AGAINST THE RPUBLICANS, I AM SURE EVERYONE THAT GOES TO THIS SITE IS NOT JUST THE DC BUNCH . I AM ALMOST SURE THAT SOMEBODY OUT THERE HAS A DIFFERENT OPION . TODAY ON FOX NEWS , THEY AGREED THAT IF IT IS OUT THERE , OBAMA AND HIS TERROIST TIES , BRING IT OUT. A LOT OF US THAT DO MORE READING AN FROM CHICAGO AERA , KNOW THERE IS ALL KINDS OF CORRUPTION GOING ON . AN IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS . THEREFORE I SAY , TERROIST TIES , NO WAY TO THE DC. WRIGHT AYERS FARRAHAKAN HAMMAS CHARVEZ , AN NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE WILL BE NEXT.

Interesting. The people I hear raising the most too-doo about the bailout are —-TA DA! Republicans. If you voted for Bush on his second term–I do not feel a bit sorry for you.

If you vote for McCain/Palin and have to continue to watch your children march off to war (this time drafted), watch your retirement dwindle, and in fact watch America turn into a third world country……don"t whine about it, because myself and alot of other Americans will not feel one bit sorry for you.

yes obama-biden
i would like to more abount this alaska seceessionist party that todd her husband belonged to for 2 years and her reason for her attending
at least one annual meeting . why do the palins feel they are above the law troopergate??????? and last mccain tell us abount this keating five group???????

CNN:

Please be a responsible and reliable news outlet by using currently updated polls and information before you try to make the news more sensational than it really is.

Geez! Are you becoming the lying McCain campaign's private fact check source or what? We know you need to make money, but isn't the truth more important?

AIP, the Alaskan Independence Party is a group that advocates the succession of Alaska from the United States. "First Dude" is a member in good standing with this group in Alaska….Mrs. Palin was not a member, but did attend numerous meetings and gave several speeches….HuffingtonPost.com and other sites have been carrying this story, also you can go to http://www.the mudflats.wordpress and look it up….First Dude Todd Palin, who would have thunk it…..hmmm and she had the nerve to condemn Obama…how about nudging the person who sleeps beside her….seems like he is the "home-grown terrorist"….

Well if they ever get wind of McCain's "old friend" G Gordon Liddy…the one who spent four years in prison for Watergate…well, the race won't be so close. Liddy was the one in 1994 who said he'd shoot federal agents in the head! Liddy held fundraisers in his home for McCain and McCain has NEVER denounced Liddy nor returned the money.

Cindy and McCain spent time on Keatings yacht and stayed in Keating's vacation home…I call that pretty chummy. And Cindy's family had business dealings with Keating…the McCain's are more than just acquaintances with Keating.

McCain wants to play that game…We've got LOTS of stuff on crook McCain!!!!!

It has come to the point in this election season that McCain has realized that he cannot win on the issues. He has defected from Michigan, with Pennsylvania to follow soon. His strongholds in North Carolina, Indian, and Virginia are in question. And now, in Colorado, the scales will continue to tip in Obama's favor as American's realize that Obama does preach a message of change and does have the leadership capabilities to bring this change into reality.
In a depserate act now to salvage what he can, McCain is now shifting to immoral and dirty politics to try to disscredit Obama's character and morality. Again, this is a desperate man, using Sarah Palin and Tucker Bounds as his pitbulls. Just remeber, if elected, this is the kind of morality he will bring to the whitehouse along with the dirty politics.
But the american people are not that stupid, I can't wait to see the polls continue to soar in Obama's favor as this putrid plan backfires in his face.
To all those that long for this change and to see the polls soar in Obama's favor…..SPEAK OUT. Saturate the blogs with support of Obama and watch McCain and his immoral, mudslinging cohorts take cover whne the American people rise to the occasion.

I live outside Denver and I only see McCain signs. I guess we are just clinging to our guns and religion, or we maybe we already have "hope". The liberals in Boulder and inner city Denver tend to forget the rest of the state exists.

It is not surprising that inner city Denver likes Obama after he gave all the homeless a one-way bus ticket out of town during the Democratic convention.

Macain is a living liar who will go down

We have been working overtime to register new voters in Colorado even up to one hour ago, and everyone I speak to is fired up over Obama. I will be very surprised if Colorado does not turn from Red to Blue in November!

Colorado for Obama/Biden 08!

This Guy! John (The Man) McCain will win in November… Because you can't afford him not to win…. That was the reason of my statment months ago!!! (I'm Psychic)… Not really.. But niether am I stupid…
America will have to decide for themselves….

Some more garbage from the so called Right who are dead wrong

Colorado turn it blue. I was there for the convention. You have a beautiful state.
Sen. McCain want to do away with your water agreements and wasn't there something about Yucca Mountain?

Not only is McCain erratic, but also anyone who votes for him has to be either mentally unstable or very spiteful and unpatriotic. He don't need our votes, however he literally needs our supporting hands to help bolster him in his geriatric final walks in life. Afterall, we still need to show our gratitude for his military service.

No one can ask her a question in public, not even her own donors. What's she hiding?

Will all the students who graduate from the University of Illinois after having taken a course under William Ayers' tutelage be placed on the terror watch list ????
Stupid Republi-Cons

Obama/Biden 08

Common Colorado, JUST DO IT ….vote for Obama/Biden.

Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and all other states, let's do it right this year 2008. Let no adds or messages be a show stopper or to sway your vote. We are one nation and we can do it…. LET's go…BLUE ALL THE WAY, ALL 50 STATES!!!!!!!

I have seen alot more support for the Obama/Biden ticket from the people I have talked to here in Colorado. Especially the younger generation. I hope they will get out and vote as they could be the difference in this election. They are tired of the same old politic's from the Republicans. All McCain they can offer are more personal attack ads. Why don't they focus on what their stand is on the issues?

The swift boat attacks will continue since they have nothing to offer this great nation other than the same policys of a failed Bush administration. This country can't afford another 4 years of moron leadership.

Lets get back to the America I fought for 40 years ago.

Veteran for Obama

It is about the economy, stupid

I am not sure that it will take any effort to get attention on the economy.

I worked for Boeing on the US Tanker. McCain wrote the defense department, used his infuence and had the rules changed on the tanker bids. Then the defense department did not tell Boeing about the rule changes. This was why the winning bid was disallowed. The bid as awarded gave 54,000 American jobs to France. Mine was one of them. I am a 62 year old handicapped worker. My unemployment runs out at the time of the election.

I am going to lose my home and have to move into a trailer on a friends property. My step-daughter and her 2 year old son are currently living in my basement. When i have to get out of my house they are going to be on the streets.

My wife is a brittle diabetic (Two types of insulin every day) who can't get much in the way of health care. Thanks to being unemployed, I have no health care. I am not quite handicapped enough to qualify for disability Social Security. So I am going to have to take early social security, just to pay for the meds we need to stave off death a while.

I don't think John McCain's plans do anything for me but measure me for a pine box. And I don't think it will take much to get me to focus on the economy.

Okay, I have been very busy and out of the radar these few weeks. What is going on? Obamabots I see are still spooling their tricks and verbal nonsense. Let’s put this into perspective. I heard Obamabots were all over Palin with Katie Couric's interview. What is wrong with these people? Palin, a second place candidate has more experience than Obama "the clown", the selected Democratic candidate by the DNC and Super delegates. Palin was a mayor of Alaska and a governor of Alaska but "the clown" was just an organizer. Anyone with an I.Q. of a pea brain can do that. I know, I know, he graduated from Ivy League school so are millions of us. He was against Washington establishment and now his second pick is a Washington insider. Don't you people get it? McCain is telling you exactly the way things are and Obama "the clown" is telling exactly "what you want to hear". Anything to get Obama into the White House. I thought we were such a smart country. You mean to tell me that Obama "CAN REALLY THROW WOOL OVER YOUR EYES?" PLEASE TELL US IT IS NOT SO. YOU CANNOT SEE THROUGH THIS PERSON? IF SO, THEN ANYONE CAN SALE YOU A SWAMP IN FLORIDA AND TELL YOU IS A FARM LAND OR THE LAND IS FULL WITH OIL. I RATHER HAVE SOMEONE TELL ME "THE TRUTH" THAN LIES AFTER LIES. EXAMPLE, OBAMA SAID PALIN HAD MORE EARMARKS FROM WASHINGTON THAN HE DOES, BUT COME TO REALIZE OBAMA HAS MORE THAN 93 MILLION IN EARMARKS IN HIS SHORT TERM AS A SENATOR THAN ANYONE ELSE. DID HE VOLUNTEER TO TELL US THIS? OF COURSE NOT. HE IS CROSSING HIS FINGERS AND HIS TOES AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE CROSSED FOR YOU AND ME TO BE BLIND ENOUGH AND DEAF ENOUGH, AND IGNORANT ENOUGH NOT TO EVEN THINK HE CAN BE DECEITFULL.
MCCAIN LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND WAS WILLING TO DIE FOR THIS COUNTRY AND IN ANYONE'S BOOK THAT QUALIFIES HIM TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY. HE HAS ALL THE EXPERIENCE THIS OFFICE REQUIRES, HE CAN WORK ACROSS FROM BOTH ISLES AND HE IS "THE MAVERICK". YES, I SAID IT, YES, I DID.
OBAMA HAS NO QUALIFICATIONS TO BE OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF, A MUSLIM WHO WAS MENTORED BY A FOUL MOUTHED RADICAL PREACHER. TOO RISKY FOR THIS COUNTRY. WE LOVE OUR COUNTRY TOO MUCH. NO EXPERIENCE, NO EXPERIENCE, AND NO EXPERIENCE EQUAL NO PRESIDENCY. NO OBAMA "THE CLOWN".
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 AND HILLARY 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain will NOT win in Colorado with his slimy tactics. Sarah Palin is a turn off to real conservatives. Real conservatives and Christians do not attack other people and spread lies about people. Nor do they act above the law or break the commandments. Everyone knows about her and McCain. They pretend to be conservatives but they aren't. He just supported the largest socialist bill in history! They are finished in Colorado and the US. Obama is a true Christian gentleman. Note he has not stooped to the low personal attacks because they are immoral.

Colorado voters must stand and unite and turn this state BLUE! It would be a great catastrophe for the republicans to win this election. Being a republican myself, this time around, I am voting BLUE. In no way shape or form do I feel comfortable having Sarah Palin as the VP of this country. After this debate and those folksy words she was using, i"m sorry people but I don't feel comfortable having someone like her in office. Also, this woman is NOT QUALIFIED to be a vice president! Why can't people see that. It's become sickening to see the presidential election turn into some kind of talent show. "well lets see how well she debates this time" People, she absolutely failed in the Katie Couric interview, and when put under pressure a potential VP needs to have some answers! It will be a great catastrophe to this country if this woman gets the VP slot and if John McCain become President. Let's vote BLUE this time people.

You know and I know that it is Obama's people who are forfeiting and not paying their mortgages. You and you and you are paying yours but a ton of his supporters are not and we will end up paying for them

I am upset that they used minority set asides as a way to get a bunch of deadbeats in houses they couldn't afford and now look at the mess we are in.

McCain will protect our country and our values. PUMA

I counted what 2 comments for McCain and the rest for Obama. I see the moderators starting Friday must be run by the Obuma campaign.

TWO THIRDS OF AMERICA IS CONSERVATIVE,EXCEPT FOR THE WEST AND EAST COAST.
ANYWAY FOR OBAMA AGENDA TO GET THROUGH CONGRESS.SENATE REPUBLICANS WOULD HAVE TO LOSE 9 SEATS. IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN.

GRIDLOCK ONCE AGAIN,BUT THIS TIME IT WILL HELP THE COUNTRY IF THIS GUY GETS IN

Just like I thought - the country is collectively starting to say, "wait just a gosh durn minute" about Obama. He is nothing but a speech, as evidenced by his inability to not say ummm, uhhhh, errrr, five hundred times at his previous campaign rallies with no Obama-prompter support. The guy is the MOST LIBERAL SENATOR SINCE GEORGE MCGOVERN, failed to vote for bills which would limit infanticide, failed to take a position at least 94 times by voting "PRESENT" in the Senate. What is this guy, a low lying S.O.B. who plays everything political, avoiding responsibility by not voting YEA or NAY? Seriously you liberals - think for a minute. I know it's hard because you all love to "feel" everything, but the FACTS are, Obama is VERY RISKY, unprepared to lead, has never taken on his own party, never had any executive experience, and has had SHADY TIES TO DUBIOUS PEOPLE. You liberals KNOW if McCain had EVEN KNOWN, EVEN REMOTELY, somebody IN ANY PART OF HIS PAST, who was an UNREPENTENT TERRORIST, that he NEVER would have made it this far. You all are sad bunch of losers who will compromise every thing noble, fair, and proper about the presidential election process in order to get your "guy" elected. Obama is shameful, and it's a shame he has even gotten this far. You liberals should feel really badly about yourselves.

Questions: what are McCain's issues? I really do not think he has any issue, now he's down and he wanted to start a dirty ad just to win…Amen

I live in Colorado, and this state is going for Obama. McCain and Palin are ridiculous politicians scraping for anything they can use to boost their sagging campaign. Luckily, no amount of winks and ugly lies are going to fool Americans this time. We're smarter now, and we know that sending an average person to the White House is a recipe for disaster.

A calf that strays from the herd is called a maverick. An individual is called a maverick when he or she is not a team player, walks his own paths and distances himself from his own group, team, party or his colleagues as he sees fit.

How is it then that Governor Palin talks about bringing a "team of mavericks to Washington" which of itself, is a contradiction in terms?

Yet, I'm really not surprised.

DEAD / HEAT IS ALSO A EXCELLENT DESCRIPTION

OF THE TWO CANDIDATES' MENTAL CAPACITIES.

I am from Colorado and if we go blue….I'm moving to Alaska

All I have to say is any one that vote repubician this year must enjoy watching American People continue to suffer. We all have been affected in one way or another. (high gas prices, lost of homes, lost of jobs, no health care, seniors becoming homeless, food prices sky high, the list goes on) At this rate, all state should turn blue or their state must not have any of the problems listed above. I pray that people will put Our Country first by voting for the canidate that for all peoples not just a few.

Save America by voting Obama/Biden

I think there sholud be a check on both candidates campaign money whether there are foreign money involved…

I live in Kansas. Kansas ALWAYS votes Republican. I usually feel like
my vote is worthless. But I will still vote Obama/Biden in November.
I am seeing lots of Obama supporters in the state, many more that usually support a Democrat. I think in the battleground states Obama
is going to surprise a lot of people.

I am from Colorado, and if this state goes blue……I am moving to Alaska.

The McCain sends the candidate that has the lowest favorbility ratings to attack Obama…. great move, NOT.

Quick reminder of key points:

McCain is erratic in a crisis.

McCain is out of touch on the economy.

The economy is in a crisis. Guess McCain wouldn't be the best choice.

Here is some straight talk. We will win. Look at Real Clear politics, take your wishful thinking out of the game and look at the numbers. In the last 18 elections only 2 have overcome a lead like this with this much time!!! that means the odds are near 10% for McCain. We will win Colorodo too. Why? Because folks (Joe six packs) know that McCain/Palin are not Mavericks they are Bull$h*tters. she evades questions because se don't know anything and he lies and cheats. starting with Carrol and then Keating 5, Keating rymes with Cheating. Let me repeat my self Not Mavericks but Bul$h*tters, close but opposite, the other end of the Bull!

Mis-direction, the oldest trick known to man. I guess we are suppose to be stupid and not see what McCain has done and still doing.

(1) Tapping Palin for VP - totally out of her league
(2) Postponing campaign - watch the dog who brings the bone
(3) Smoke screen - Alienating Bush/GOP
(4) Mockery - Covering up Palin's (Adultry, Witchcraft, Investigation)
(5) Pathetic - Stooping to an all time low (Swiftboating)

"When you start out foul, it usually ends up foul"

WATCH FOR RACE TO END NEAR A TIE AT END OF OCT…IF SO MCCAIN WILL WIN

HIS CHARACTER WILL NOW BE MAIN FOCUS FOR REMAINDER OF MONTH!!!

WATCH FOR MORE DETAILS ON AYERS..RESKO…WRIGHT….

AND HIS DONATIONS FROM OUTSIDE THE USA!!

The ignorance of the American people is AMAZING.

We are a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.

NOT A DEMOCRACY.

Check it out.
Simply put.:
2 wolves and a sheep are deciding what they want for dinner. ??? DUH.

It is just that simple.

You want a "Democracy"?
That is what you get. We are NOT a Democracy. We are a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. It was developed to insure there would be NO lop sided wrong thinking taking place which would cause serious injustices because of "MOB RULE".
Imagine the voting taking place which would enable us to discriminate against red haired people. ( JUST AN EXAMPLE) Out- numbered 4 to 1 (Again an example) we decide they don't get the right to vote. The Supreme Court overrules the decision and determines that they are entitled the right to vote.

The point I am making is that MOST Democrats are ignorant. Once they get educated they recognize that Obama is a SOCIALIST. AND as soon as they figure out that taxing the "Rich" means that small business owners are those "RICH" and they pay for most of our jobs and they won't be able to invest in their own companies, they recognize that they are in fact against the idea of voting for a SOCIALIST like the Obama, Biden ticket.

Those polls were taken before the VP debate Surely Ms Palin's performance would have caused a down-tick in Sen. McCain's numbers.

McCain, Dead Meat in Colorado

Fixed your headline for you CNN.

Don't worry John McCain - The sensible voters of Colardo have your back. Their is no way we will vote for a terrorist loving racist church hypocrit of the likes of BO. We want real change we can count on in these turbulent times, not a flash in the pan celebrity. McCain/Palin 08!!!!

Boy this is funny. I do not care who wins. It will not effect me either way.
1. We own our home, cars, no cc debit & have military retirement 25yrs
2. I will close my business (do not want the tax headache)
3.Stop all extra spending ie magazine, newspapers, cable tv, cell phones, renting or going to movies ect….
4. We own land with water for 80yrs so having food is not a issue
5.We own guns
So all of you support higher taxes while I sit back and laugh.
I will be able to say I TOLD YOU SO.
One thing is sure my family will not be in the soup kitchens HA! HA!
Oh and please do not cry WHY DID THIS HAPPEN!
I can make corn bread and beans a full meal.
Oh and CNN if people can not afford cable there goes your job HA! HA! What goes around comes around.

I just came back from East Tennessee where I was born to Nashville, where I live. On the major freeway there all I saw were McCain/Palin signs. In my predominately African American neighborhood all I saw were Obama/Biden 08 signs. In the neighborhood where there were non-African Americans I know who went to college and were long time Democrats, I saw Obama/Biden signs.

I had a coupon and went to a major fast food restaurant and was told by a young White teenager they didn't accept the coupons (this was a major restaurant chain and the coupon was theirs), but he would make an exception this time and do me a favor. I am a 49 year old African American with a Masters Degree in Consumer Education and was on the verge of telling the young clerk that I was one phone call away from the company's home office who I sure would be interested that their major coupon was being regected in a small country town in Tennessee when presented by an African American female.

But then I caught myself and remember that this young teenager was a product of the racist (old South) southern mess that I had been raised up in but, by the grace of God left my small narrow minded town and saw more of the world, met other people and received an education. Enough is truly Enough!!!!

My prayer for this country is that people will wake ups and stop the maddness of division and racism. Truly Stevie Wonder can "see" that Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only choices for America during this time of economic crisis in this country. Don't be ruled by fear and lies by the McCain camp. God does not like UGLY and there plan is to try smear and nonsense! BE SMART AMERICA - OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12!!

This "Poll of Polls" is incredibly inaccurate. Including a poll from 2 weeks ago, and one from ~10 days, is rediculous. This disregards the effects of the Bail Out, and both debates.

Please report something relevant!

Colorado, I know you're smart enough not to be fooled again.

Women in Colorado, do you really think it's okay for Palin to take away your rights to your body?

And all with a conscious in Colorado, do you really think it's okay to slaughter wildlife - like bears and wolves from an airplane? Wolves are cousins to your dog. Imagine your dog running through the snow and being shot in the back. Palin is evil.

Go Obama turn Colorado blue!!!! I wonder when it is that McCain will begin to actually discuss what his policies are instead of attacking Obama. This entire campaign so far has been nothing but attack ads from McCain, it's pathetic, hasn't he gotten it that people are tired of the personal attacks? Atleast Obama has discussed his policies several times following it up by ads that are focused on the things that matter…policies. What a way to run your campaign…we're losing in the polls so lets admit that we are not going to focus any of our campaign on policies but instead focus on attempting to attack Obama's character with flat out lies. McCain/Palin have ruined their credibility, not that Palin had much to begin with, with their doomed campaign that is filled with lies, they're not just being claimed as lies they were fact checked and are proven lies. McCain's health care ideas are a joke…must be because neither McCain nor Palin have to pay for their own. I see no advantages to voting for McCain if you're an every day hard working person. Can't wait for the lawsuit for Slander/Libel on Palin for stating that Obama is a "terrorist", which was also proven to be completely FALSE. If you're happy with how the last 8 years have worked out then vote McCain. If you're ready for change there's only one answer Obama/Biden '08!!!!

The McCain campaign is sooo desperate right now that they will do and say anything to get ahead in the polls. If he has been fighting all these years in congress for the American people, Why are we not hearing more on what he has done for us?

Because, he is just like George Bush, more for the rich, less for the poor.

OBAMA FOR REAL AMERICANS!!

annie - never again a dem To cnn - guess you only post blogs that are favorably to your candidate. Yes, your right McCain/Palin are their favorite!!!!!!!!!

Yes, those Republicans are busy buying the NEWS and Internet media…annie you were never a dem…..BUT I am a HAPPY DEMOCRAT……………………..has been for YEARS…..Try to tell the truth and maybe your comment will be posted………

Texas going BLUE for Obama.

McCain will be saying soon, "Say it ain't so Joe", we're moving out of COLORADO..

Let's give a "Shout Out " to OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, INDIANA, NEW MEXICO, NEW HAMPSHIRE, FLORIDA to vote for Obama for growth and properity.

I'm polishing my dancing shoes, because the streets of Berkeley are going to be alive with celebration on Wednesday, November 5.

Hooray for Obama/Biden!

Hooray for common sense, rules of logic!

Hooray for grammar and spelling!

Down with the fear-mongerers and racists!

How can you expect the people to raise themselves up if you continue to demean their intelligence and deceive through scare tactics? Down with you!

There is a lot of garbage out regarding McCain but Obama will not stoop low. Obama is a professional and his campaign remains about issues. If you want to play dirty, how about witch Palin, etc. Look up the manchurian candidate on Google.

summerlover is right on. Wish i could have thought of that first.

the next time anyone hears that Obama was only 8 years old when Ayers was committing his terrorist acts, please point out that he was 34 years old when he was in Ayers living room!

And he was 44 listening to Reverend Wright. What a sleeze ball

Everyone I know from Colorado is voting for Obama. It will go Blue this election.

Sorry McCain people-integrity is winning.

And this is just the beginning. Other red states will swing to Obama.

The republican campaign is in trouble because of all the negative ads,
the lies spread by Palin and McCain and their disastrous views about the economy, health care, tax breaks to the rich, the war without an end and their inability to lead this country out of the mess.

Obama / Biden 08

and this is just

"and while no organization is completely protected from internet fraud,"

Quote unquote from Obama campaign release to Federal Election Committee investigating claims of illegal donations to the Obama campaign.

BUSTED!!!
———————————————————————————————-

Boy, that post made a lot of sense…NOT. What are you talking about? Your head needs to be BUSTED.

Palin/McCain is more of the SAME!!! and OBAMA/BIDEN FOR CHANGE!!!!!!!!!!! OBAMA 08!!!!!

On realclear polls they show the race a little different. In Colorado Obama is leading from 9/19-9/28 that Obama is leading on average 4.4 points . Obama also leads in Florida by 3.0 percent and Virginia by 2.4 percent. On National polls as of 10/3 Obama leads by 5.9%.

Obama has the edge in Colorado. CNN is only trying to pacify McCain camp. Left with the media they would have crowned McCain the president a long time ago.

Hmm, let's see.. In the last election, it seems that the more intelligent metropolitan areas around the U.S. voted against Bush, but the the more rural areas who vote with their gut and not their head voted for Bush. Let's hope that the U.S. has gotten smarter over the last eight years and we don't make the smae mistake of voting for more of the same!

aware October 5th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

Obama is so full of himself that he just doesn't get it!

The content of Obama's "change" ideology or his world view has been glossed over! Everyday Americans have been smooth talke and scmoozed senseless!

We have beenin recession bordering on a serious depression before, and we have spent many years recovering from strategies like Obama's!
———————————————————————————————–

I see you've slimed your way into this blog with your brainless attacks against Obama of which you have NO proof. We've spent many years TRYING to recover from "strategies" like Bush's. What the hell are you talking about? Lay off the liquor, brainfart.

Voters,

If you want a president that knows how to scrape the bottom of the barrel, John McCain/Palin is your ticket. When a campaign states without a Palin wink, they are going dirty and attempt todestroy a person's character to win a an election, McCain/Palin, if you agreed with this tactic, please vote for them. You deserve each other! However, the truth will set our country and nation free.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08-12.

I live in Colorado and I disagree with these polls. We are sick and tired of the negativity of the McCain camp and alarmed by the selection of Sarah Palin. We will definitely go Blue on November 4!

Come on Colorado, Ohio, Florida. Get it right this time.

If I ran a small-business, like this. I would soon ???? Trouble..
Too many "So Called Businesses"… Survive because the Govenment give too may "Hand-Outs". If the emply new staff… They do till the get the Cash. Then make some excuse… And lay-Off again…
Blood-Suckers, I call them.. The don't have a decent product between them…

If the McCain camp steps up their Swiftboating, the Democrats should fire back with attack ads about McCain's history with the Keating 5, his adulterous affair leading to his latest marriage to a prescription drug abuser, his running mate's support of a fringe political group striving to separate Alaska from the United States, and the ethics investigation into his running mate's possible abuses of power.

It's really unbelievable, no matter how bad things get for the U.S. Economy, there are some who still would rather vote to continue on the same path of the previous eight years that vote for OBAMA. One day, maybe we can get past some people's prejudices.

We can vote for an intelligent young man with a plan, with a vision, with the ability to learn.

We can vote for a sour old man, who has always had a secure government job, health care and pension, who goes with his "gut" to make decisions, who does not listen and seems not to learn.

I'm voting for the man with a brain, and who is not afraid to use it rather than the man who uses his stomach to lead.

Obama is talking issues, proposals, vision and hope.
McCain is depending on lies, personal attacks: because McCain
has nothing to offer but failed Bush policies …

I live in Colorado and we are sick and tired of the incessant negative campaigning from the McCain Campaign. We have serious problems in our state and we do NOT want more of the same. Obama/Biden will carry win this state and our 9 electoral votes will swing them into the White House!

Scott L October 5th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Senator Biden, while I do not believe in your Presidential candidate's socialistic viewpoints, I wish you and your family condolences during this time period.
————————————————————————————————

Way to go @55hole, shake Biden's hand in condolences while sticking the knife in his back with the other one.. just don't say anything at all because all you do in these blogs is spout anti-Obama hate anyways. Go away and die.

Oh I see my comments are being deleted because I do not support Obama and stated the facts. It must be because I am not a liberal or a liberal Jewish person.

I live in Colorado, and I definitely see way more Obama signs and bumper stickers than McCain. I only knew two people who were going to vote for McCain in CO, and now they are so disgusted with McCain's pick of Palin, that they decided not to vote at all this year. Everyone else I know is voting for Obama, so come Nov 4 the Republican's will just have lost one of their formerly red states!

To cnn - guess you only post blogs that are favorably to your candidate.

Let's face it - McCain is desperate. These are the last days of his last chance at being THE PRESIDENT. It is obvious his concern is not for America but rather for his own ambitions. At this point, he would take down anyone (friend or foe) to win. That is the simple facts. It is hard to look in the face of lost dreams - ask anyone who's been there. For McCain, its too personal to care what it takes.

The leaves are turning, and so are the swing states. Democrats are going to win big.

I used to live in Colorado and can tell you that if the ski bums get off the mountain and vote, this state will turn blue!!

If someone picked through every donation, both camps would find something to hold over the other one. There are too many donations to filter everything out. We have to trust they are doing the best they can. RNC sounds a little desparate though bringing this up.

I wish texas would turn blue. Go Obama/Biden!

Aware,

You really need to stop watching O'Reilly. If you think Obama's strategy caused the collapse of our markets, you are beyond unaware and now reside in a cluless state of mind.

The truth is, people like YOU don't get it. You sit at the feet of an old senile man and his toy poodle.

How anyone in their right mind could vote for mcmaverick and his pal barbie is beyond me.

some of the republican party are so ignorant .

Obama will be marked down as the best president the united states has ever had……..take that to the bank……

McHeh? is hangin' on by fingernails now. Kinda sad watchin' the old soldier fade away.

The state of the race is a small but significant Obama lead, just at the margins of twice the MoE in the trackers. Since McCain was unable to put Obama away in his strongest debate topic (foreign policy), and since so much structurally favors Dems, if there are no more shake-ups in the race McCain will likely lose.

At this point in time, sarah palin is irrelevant and a distraction(albeit pulling some crowds and raising money) for her party.
The debate last time confirmed what some of my independent friends felt about her.
She is dangerously ignorant of issues and recklessly arrogant to ignore answering questions from the moderator.
We have seen this movie before , and see what has happened to this country due to wrong headed policy.
Never again can i take any chance on this reckless politician called Palin

Colorado High is what we need on November 4th
Obama 08 and if he does a good job 12 too!

Smart Floridians are voting Obama/Biden in 2008 !

Colorado is going for Obama big time, the more quity pie Palin talks the better Obama does, he's got my vote and I don't care who his friends are……may I call you Blinky?….wink,wink………

Scott L-

Desperate, just like your candidate. The finance charge is just another example of sour grapes by the whiny RNC…WAHHHHHHH, Obama raised more money than us. NO FAIR!

I think Colorado can squeak out an OBAMA victory. I know that down in Castle Rock we have a lot of moms going for Obama!!!!

McCain is going bring fear Factor just like Bush did in 2004. Mcsame didnt think about the country when he pick his VP and i feel sorry for her every time i see her on TV.

Keep it going Colorado. Become blue like Nevada, where I am helping with voter turnout. Nevada and Colorado will be blue. And Tancredo's face will be turning RED. Hahaha, last laugh for me, Tan Creido…

Unless fraudelent voting has been taking place or there are a lot of transplant liberals from california who has moved into the area. Baring these two events colorado will go for McCain. I hope the FEC looks into Obama's fund raising and I am sure they will find a lot of foriegn donations primarily from the mideastern countrys. I bet they will also find multiple small donations from Farrakkun"s followers (the Black muslim nation of Islam) since Farrakkun seemed to be on Intimate Terms with the Blacl Liberation Trinity Church in Chicago. Reverend Wright sure hated whitey and America and Obama and Michele spent twenty years there.

Come on Colorado! We chased McCain out of Michigan, please do the same. He and Palin are the poorest excuse for honorable people I have ever seen. She is hiding from an ethics indictment and preaches honesty and transparency, and he continues to say his campaign is 100% honest, when all they do is lie, fabricate, and if necessary, turn back the clock to charges that were debunked months ago. Too bad he didn't spend all the time when he was already the nominee actually coming up with a plan for this country or choosing a VP wisely.

All they have is "Senator Obama (insert lie here)" and "Drill, baby, drill," and "mavericks." That's all.

I just can't see how these polls are accurately capturing the youth vote (most people under 35 do not own a landline and young people do not pick up anonymous calls) which STRONGLY favors Obama as he is looking to the future while Mcain still thinks he is fighting Nam and Palin doesn't even believe in global warming! I sincerely hope Coloradans chose Obama/Biden over McSAME and Caribou Barbie.

Isn't it true that Palin's husband once belonged to a party with agenda of Secession from mainland USA? If Obama is painted as "palling with a terrorist", then Palin is married to one.

This is clearly the "leftist liberal media" talking… LOL

Couldn't be that smart people everywhere are seeing McCain/Palin for the Joke they really are.

Palin and McCain times running out now they get dirty, this on top of being liers. God see's these things and he sides with the truth and good. OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Obama/Biden will win by a landslide in Nov. Watch!!

I think that Arizona is much closer than polls say it is. I live in the Phoenix area and I see far more Obama stickers and signs than McCain stickers and signs.

As for Sarah Palin, someone needs to remind her that her husbans belongs to an organization that thinks Alaska should secede from the Union. And she has the nerve to say that Obama is friends with terrorists? She is married to one if we are using the conservative definition.

Colorado will be BLUE on November 4th, count on it!

Obama is lifting Washington politics out of the gutter by speaking to Americans about the current, and future health of our nation. All 50 states have residents who are tired of the GOP hate machine that helped GWBush into the White House. I moved from the SF Bay Area to the Black Hills in SD, the Rushmore state, I can't promise SD will vote Democratic, but my family will.

Aware, have you had your head in the ground the last 8 years? Do you really think that the people who got us into this mess are the only ones who can get us out! Golly gee and darn it…. you are no smarter than Barbie Palen…. no not her appearance, but rather her mentality. Barbie comes in all hair colors!

John McCain is DESPERATE/For the next month be prepared to hear NOTHING but LIES, DISTORTIONS, ETC.

Mccain has become little more than an angry, bitter, pathetic old man who does NOT put the country first and never has.

He has always put himself , and those like him, FIRST.

If someone is ignorant enough enough NOT to vote for Obama simply becasue they are a racist, not only do they deserve not to vote, they deserve exactly what they will get when they lose their jobs, pensions, 401(k),

WAKE UP AMERICA. It is almost 2009 and if you want to see this country beging to upright itself, you ahd better hope Obama and Biden win. If not, get ready for 4 more years of bush and SHUT UP when things get worse.

I think the People are a whole lot wiser this time around.

Our founding fathers were the well educated intellectuals of their time…. I suspect of any time. Otherwise, they could not have crafted such a wonderful instrument to run this country, the Constitution of the United States of America.

I think Obama is of their ilk! It's about time that we decided that we do NOT need to settle for C average people running this country. That would mean that Obama is the only man… or woman running who has the intelligence to get us out of the mess the Republicans have gotten us into.

The Obama/Biden Ticket Will Pull Away After Tuesday's Debate Along With The Rest Of The Battleground States Including Nevada.

Obama/Biden 08′

Obama is risky. On taxes, security, character. His healthcare plan will be much too expensive. He keeps misrepresenting McCain's plan.

Why do people want to put him in office to find this out?All the signs are there.
Also……..can't ignore Acorn. The possibility of voter fraud is a blight to the honest people of this country.

One of the states in which McCain has to do heavy defense.

I'm sure the Obama volunteers in CO are doing great work. Keep it up!

I'm a Republican….who contributed to Obama…and now fall into the "undecided" category….I'm not sure I can stomach a puppet Al Gore presidency - I'm not sure I can face the rhetoric of those who would blame the economic trouble on George Bush - when in fact it was the 1995 Clinton policy….and the 2006 defense of this unsound policy (to ensure low income people with no (or little) money down can get a mortgage….even Alan Greenspan warned against it….I want an administration that will take responsibility for its actions…and no more entitlement programs…enough is enough…on the global warming issue….ask one question….why is Mars also warming up?? (maybe "man" played a role there too Sen Biden??) dopes…

. . . .Please Go to Colorado and "campaign" Sara Palin!

Obama / Biden 08.

At this time of financial crisis and the failure of our banks, do we really want one of the Keating Five involved?

Obama may not win in November despite the majority. The U.S. needs to do a few things to restore Democracy. First, we need to ban electronic voting machines. Companies such as Diebold/Premiere have admitted problems and have been caught applying last-minute security patches to only a few systems. They should be in jail for treason and voting machines should be banned in all elections. Also, an international election inspection team should be allowed into the U.S. Last time Bush blocked it because he was cheating.

Colorado, do not let those lying bastards without a plan win! They did not have a plan 8 years ago when they got in office and they dis not have aplan when they went into Iraq. They also seem not to have a plan for the future in their campaign because all we keep hearing are lies about Obama and not what plans they have for America. They didn't even have a plan on who to pick for VP.

Kick them out of politics!

Vote OBAMA/BIDDEN

While I read the posts fairly regularly, I don't fully understand. Can someone tell me about Palin's ties to a group that wants to separate from the United States? I understand they have had issues with the American flag. How sad if true. Thanks

To- aware October 5th, 2008 6:10 pm ET
Obama is so full of himself that he just doesn't get it! **And YOU my Friend Are FULL of SH_T**!

When all is said and done, Obama is going down in November because of two issues:

1. Jeremiah Wright
2. Michelle Obama

Both the State House and Senate, The Gov. 1 Senator now are BLUE. 1more Senator in Nov. are BLUE next will be the President. The People of Colorado are seeing the light and getting it right. GO OBAMA

I never understood why national polls are reported with such importance-it has always been all about the battleground states. (As Gore and Kerry both found out )

How can Colorado even think about extending the Bush nightmare?

"The Birds". Would have made "Trifle". Out of your Boss…

PALIN IS NOT GOIN TO BE VICE MORE THAN SIX MONTH IF MC CAIN WINS (I HOPE NOT) ,SAME REPUBLICANS WILL CHANGE HER WITH ANY EXCUSE LIKE A SICK CHILD OR OTHER THING.

. . . And rising. You just can't be part of the in crowd of real Americans
and admit that you voted for Sara Palin with a straight face.

why always are my comments under moderation?
Please email me to explain…
Thanks

Go Obama, it's time to clean up the mess in white house.
Obama and Biden 08

Election day can't get here soon enough. Tired of everything.

Chance isn't always good… socialism here we come!

I live in CO. I am always surprised that the polls are so close here because the Obama to McCain bumper sticker and sign ratio is about 15 : 1. And not just in Denver. Even in CO Springs, I found about a 3 : 1 ratio.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Obama blow McCain out of the water here.

ah yes, only 1 more months before american voters get cold feet and make the biggest mistake of their lives. see you in europe

Black and WHite for Obama,
Wasnt it that long ago that a small child turned up on the terrorist no fly list? McCain really is nothing more than a Bush clone. I cant wait to see him get his rear end handed to him by Obama come November.

Those poll numbers will go up, just keep airing Sara Palin campaign
rallies. HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Democrats 08.

How many alleged God-fearing values driven worshippers in the Rethuglican party are concerned that McCain/Palin are so active in slinging dirt, mud and malicious lies, while avoiding the issues? Do these same values-driven believers identify with "Joe Six-pack"?! And why have we not heard about Lipstick's various pastor's anti-Isreal sermons that she sat through aborbing the far, far right's near-cultish ideology? And does Todd have a sore throat that stops him from yakin'? Can the "dooode" speak-a-da-'inglish or not?

If everyone decides to really look at what is before them I don't see how they can vote any way but with the democratic ticket. They have been the most level headed and consistant ticket. They are the ones who started with Change and when the republicans found it was what the public was wanting the republicans flip flopped to the democrats message, which we all know they will go back to their way which is Bushes way if they were to win. If everyone really listens they will see that Palin is not ready to lead our country. I don't understand why republicans like listening to their candidates who always talk down to them. I would think they would like to listen to a candidates who talks to them as a person makes everyone feel good about themselves and gives us the hope we all deserve. Hopefully by election day everyone will have it figured out and will see our best hope for our future and the future lies with the leadership of Barack and Joe.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008

Our next President… Barack Obama ! Go back to Alaska Sara.. the moose are waiting for you.

Government is to protect America, not to supply us with all our needs. Let's get back to basics. Obama would lead us to socialism. Wake up and vote McCain.

I think there´s a pretty good chance that we all wake up on November 5th and discover that McSame, Cindy, Sarah, First Dude Todd, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Hyper, Trig, Track, Truck, Trounce and Tramp (just my guess as to what Sarah´s next children and grandchildren will be named) were just a really horrible nightmare. Whew…

Of course, Karl Rove, IS the Boogie Man and always will be… but a little fear is good for Americans. It keeps us on our toes.

Illegal contributions? Terrorists? McCain announced that he was going to start fighting dirty, and it sure didnt take long. I guess he has to do it, because dirty is all that he has left. Get ready to have your rear ends handed to you republican's. After eight years of running our great country into the sewer, its time that you get whats coming to you.

Ps. to Scott L.
The only thing that is getting BUSTED come November is the republican party.

I hope people start to ask the questions of why McCain has not reported his earnings from GAMBLING on his taxes(and folks believe he's such a Christian), and that Palin didn't report thousands of dollars for her per diem..

Like Bush, they are above the law. this is the proof. Just plain crooked.

Go Johnny, Go! Go! Go!
Make no misake, this is about Obama and Sarah.
Obama pulled 52 million
Sarah pulled 70 million

media doesn't want us to see the obvious, McCain should go after California, New Mexico, Nevada, Michigan, etc….

Guys, Guys, Palin accused Obama palling with terrorists, now King Abdullah, a close friend of GWB sat with Afghan and Taliban for peace talks, now am very much interested in what blind conservative repubs want to say on this.

Come along, Colorado! We're counting on you!

Yeah for CO, my neighbors to the north. Based on the polls, seems like a lot of the country is seeing that McCain/Palin offer nothing but more of the same as the last eight disastrous years. That will be in even more evidence as McCain/Palin really delve into Rovian style politics the last few weeks of the campaign. We, as a nation, have to show them that we will no longer put up with this style of politics.

Obama is going to win Colorado. There is no doubt about it! They are smart people!!

We're counting on you CO, push Obama to the White House!

Dear America,

Please do the right thing and vote Obama in. 8 years of Bush is enough for us too.

Best regards

Unlike many Southerners… Westerners are educated. They won't buy into another 4 years, 8 years, or another minute of bad republican policies.
