Likely voters nationwide:
Obama: 53 percent
McCain: 45 percent
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) – A new national poll suggests Barack Obama is widening his edge over John McCain in the race for the White House.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Monday afternoon suggests that the country's financial crisis, record low approval ratings for President Bush, and a drop in the public's perception of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin all appear to be contributing factors in Obama’s gains among voters.
Fifty-three percent of likely voters questioned in the poll say they are backing Obama for president, with 45 percent supporting McCain. That 8 point edge is double the 4 point margin Obama held in the last CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, taken in mid-September.
Low approval numbers for the current commander-in-chief may be part of the reason Obama’s fortunes are rising in the latest survey: Only 24 percent of those polled approve of President Bush's job performance, an all-time low for a CNN survey.
"Bush has now tied Richard Nixon's worst rating ever, taken in a poll just before he resigned in 1974, and is only 2 points higher than the worst presidential approval rating in history, Harry Truman's 22 percent mark in February 1952," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Yes we can!
It is growing because America is tired of evil people like McCain/Palin and the republican thugs.
The only hope that McCain/Palin have in Florida is the notorious "chad" flub-up. McCain will easily win if he has a few chads fall his way.
I pray every day that this trend continues and that the wonderful people in this country say a resounding NO, to 'More of the Same'.
The only thing left that McCain and Palin can do is to sling the mud as fast and furious as they can.
GO OBAMA!!!
YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL!!!
McPalin's negative smear campaign will backfire and blow up all over gramps and the girl.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12!!!
Senator McCain. DId you hear the news today? People want to know how you are going to fix the economy! Enough negativity and trying to change the subject. Are you afraid people will see through your blind allegiance to George W. Bush???
Sen. Obama's numbers should be growing. He is the better choice to lead America through these terrible economic times.
I am so sick of reading on these blogs that Obama is going to raise my taxes. I don't make over $250,000 and I'm willing to bet most of these bloggers don't either. I'm having a difficult time getting my head around this blindness that seems to be affecting so many people.
I'm going to invest in dog collars b/c the republicans must be buying tons so they can lead their brainwashed followers around.
What a mess the Republican ticket has become.
McCain's smears on Obama are about what other people did or said.
McCain actually was a Keating 5 for which he received a slap on the hand while a whole lot of people lost everything.
Good bye McCain...good night Sarah.
It is very important to note that McCain's campaign admitted today that his healthcare plan requires cuts to Medicare.
Early voting is the way to go.
Registered Republican voted for Obama/Biden 08
Down with Mcsame and winkie or blinkie. next time winkie read the whole article in Times. Obama/Biden.
Hey McCain...
What happened to your heroic suspending the campaign , the debate, the election, the world and time to save the nation's economy?
The economy is now worst!
Any other great ideas?...
republicans will be paying at the polls and in the halls of justice. we;ll get a lot of that $ back thru restitution and fines and seizures.
It is clearly obvious why Obama is favored. McCain/Palin has come to be nothing but PHONEY BOLONIES.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
IT IS GROWING BECAUSE MY SIX YEAR OLD SPEAKS BETTER THAN PALIN.
Tired of all the McCain/Palin lies! I have early voted, and it was not for those 2!!
With the negative campaign Mccain and the pit bull are running...that marging is only going to get bigger....until WE get to the White House..
GO OBAMA GO!!!!!!!!!!!
BARACK/JOE 08/12!!!!!
Who the heck is Bill Ayers and why is he not in Jail and did Obama really go to his house?
Did he really do the horrible things they say he did?
Anybody notice besides me that McCain is making more false statements than Obama according to the fact check? Of course, that will be because cnn is on Obama's payroll
McCain steps up attacks – Obama's poll numbers rise! Thanks McCain/Palin the Obama/Biden campaign appreciates your support!
McCain is disgusting. I hope people realize what a scumbucket
he is..
I hope this whole thing backfires bigtime on Mcliar.
Yes we can !!
McCain and Palin = Desperation, slinging the mud as fast and furious as they can.
OBAMA/BIDEN
I want Obama to focus on the economy and let the people punish these crooks on the other ticket this time. People realized the tactics played by the Republican machine every four years.
John McCain the angry old man has spoken–
Sarah Palin the Wink Wink lady has spoken–
Advise to both of them– Keep you day jobs.
I went to Palins rally but just wanted to see her.
I am not her supporter. She is evil!
I took her picture too but has nothing to do with it.
I Love Obama!
Bush is the albatross dragging the entire Republican party down the toilet. Also, McSame's shallow attempt to appeal to women by choosing an intellectual lightweight like Sarah Palin, whose quirky folksy affectations are nowhere to be seen in debate footage form 2006 during her race for governor was a real slap in the face to women everywhere.
His temper is well-known and his "suspending" his campaign was one gimmick too many! He can Swiftboat until he's blue in the face! We saw all this already during the primary. HE"S DONE!!!
How about McCain's continued negative campaing without really offering any real solution to the economic crisis.
Obama on the other hand, not only address the smear tactics but offered solution and addressed the crisis head on. While maintaining calmness. His behavior compared to that of erratic McCain and clueless Palin made people realize there truly is only one dependable team that should be voted into office come Nov. 4 – that is Obama and Biden.
Here's the scene:
9-11, 2001. The president is in the air b/c it is the safest place to be but he is out of contact with the White House.
The Vice-president has effectively taken control of the situation.
Who would you rather have at the wheel during a crisis of this magnitude?
Joe Biden or Sarah Palin?
McInsane will show all of America his true colors tomorrow: That he is a vengefull, bitter, shallow old man.
what ever happened to the straight talk express? derailed? Palin is pathetic and her boss erratic I wonder what kind of future they want to lead
Palin has a big mouth and an empty head. No measurable IQ.
The smears are not going to work this time around...
OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!!!!!!!
why are all the fact checks on cnn prove mccain is false and barack is true? because barack is honest and mccain is not.
Nixon resigned in 1974. Nevertheless, this is great news for Obama. Bye-bye, McShame!
Obama supporters,
Let's don't get overly confident. PLEASE continue to donate, register voters, and make phone calls!!!!!! If you live in a state that allows early voting then vote early. I expect the Republicans to do everything they can to steal this election.
Funny, I am from TN were this poll supposedly originated and I certainly don't hear or see a "widening of the edge" with Obama in the lead. Most people I know are not going to vote for him. Where do you get this information that seems to be so biased in favor of Obama?
McCain is not going down alone. He's taking Sarah Palin with him so she cannot prop her national career from his skull.
If Palin & Right wing really believe she has a future in the national spotlight, they should think better before letting her deeper in the mud.
The extreme right should be careful. McCain sacrificing the credibility, reputation & political career of their beloved darling Sarah Palin
Yes we can ..please vote Tina Fey for an Oscar ......she is better than Sarah Palin herself !
In the Debate tomorrow, Obama, hammer McCain on Keating Five, Palin on Troopergate and Seperatism, and don't let up!
McCain if you don’t know who Senator Obama is, and you have been working with him for years in the Senate, then how in the world can you protect the American people.
Question for you McCain- when Sen. Obama started working as a Senator didn’t you guys check him out them? And if you really believe that Senator Obama is in on terrorism, THEN WHY IN THE WORLD OR YOU SHAKING HIS HAND!!!!??? You know better than that and the American people do to- so sit down on that!!!
Give us the American people a break we don’t believe it and neither do you.
And if so how did he make it that far up the chain
It is growing because we are sick of the lies the Republicans have been feeding us for years!!!
Don’t underestimate this new generation was are not blind and we don’t believe everything we hear.
Obama's advantage grows because we are tired and ashamed of how things have been handled here..
McCain offered a new campaign of issues.... but he has lost his way. If he is still a good man, he is doing a good job in hiding. it. I am disgusted by him and his choice of running mate..He has sold us down the river just to obtain the title of President. If country is first, what country is he speaking of.
Thank God people in this country are seeing how McBush will destroy this country.
Vote for Tina Fey
Come on McCain, now really.........
Bush's approval among sane people: 0%
I don't know if anyone in the McCain corner has noticed. Obama does not use his instinct. He uses people all the way to think for him or do things for him even spend their money. This is an important link to "who is the real Obama". Dangerous and unwise for America.
It's growing because Old Man River is out of ideas and soon he'll be out of time. He has to face the music tomorrow night in the debate. Sen. Obama is going to be in his butt like a wedgie for all of these negative ads which is almost borderline racism. You can not run away from the issues and clearly McCain is.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Obama
Keep your campaign clean, clear on subject matter, professional, and honest and
You will be the next president of the United States!
Let McCain bury himself and take the loud mouth with him!
Yes We Can! We are more afraid of our 401k becoming worthless than the fear-mongering culture war. It won’t work this time. We have real issues to worry about and we want the Harvard guy to fix it. Obama 08!
this is encouraging news, truly. hope the trend continues. hope, hope, hope.
Enough of this negativity from McCain/Palin.
Its time to nuke McCain directly with his connection to the Keating Five
and Sarah Palin's "successionist" husband.
What has John McCain done for American? Who is the real John McCain? Enough of this "My Friends...", and his belicose remarks I've heard all day.
My advice is for them to shut the hell up and offer specific, concrete, achieveable actions. I'm tired of hearing these two moroons on TV.
I hope the "chad" issue won't elect John McCain in Florida . Hopefully, that tactic will be taken care of this election.
Gosh I hope Obama's lead keeps growing...the American people are starting to see the lies and slime that are at the foundation of McCain's campaign. I am so sick of his dirty politics and hope he gets creamed come November 4th!!! Keep it up Barack!!!
I do make over $250,000 and I DO support Obama. I am far more willing to pay a little more and have a government I can trust, than to pay less and have 4 mores years of Bush.
McCain and his sidekick are out of touch and out of time.
Obama/Biden '08, 12
I Think McCain's Campaign needs to stop going negative and offer recommendations and solutions. If he doesn't the polls will get EVEN uglier within the next week.
. I have always been telling that I put my country first before myself. That is exactly what I did
In spite of McGrumpies lies
Bye bye McSane and take the babydoll Palin with you.
that's what i'm talking about!
Sarah Palin is burying McCain–
What a pathetic pair McCain and Palin are. Lie, lie, lie ! I just heard McCain down in New Mexico and I couldn't believe how he continues to just tell the same old lies. It seems as though he had the audience with him and that is really sad because these people will really suffer if they elect him. I guess with todays news about the stock market they still don't get it. I sure hope that they do soon.
No, you can't! This race has already been bought and paid for.
Peep this McCain !
Time is up for 3 people
1.President Bush
2. Sen J MaCcain
3. Gov. S Pallin
Obama/ Biden and Democratic Party
If you don't know the answer or don't have a clue as to solve the problem, sling the mud. McCain and Palin are slinging mud as fast as they can shovel it to the public.
I find it weird that people think Obama would be the better candidate at addressing the economy since he voted to bail out wall street.
Oh oh,..i wander what Erratic McCain will try in light of this news?
. . .The lies aren't working.
Obama makes me want to puke...
Duh, what do people expect when McCain is offering up no solutions to the economic problems America is facing? McCain would rather start attacking Obama.
Note to McCain and company we don't want to hear that any more give up some solutions to the PROBLEMS!!!
Old man an youg lady stuck in a time warp!!!
Obama's lead is widening, I think. From what I am reading . . .
McCain and Palin are unwittingly sabotaging their own campain. As another poster said: "I am feeling sorry for them" – but not too fast, they are so tricky that I will wait with baited breath until Nov. 5.
The world economy is verging on a depression and all McCain can come up with is mudslinging. This is beyond pathetic. Welcome to the Political Twilight Zone. Heaven help us!
No we can't. The government as well as the private sector all had a hand in the way the economy is shaping up. Irresponsible adults buying homes they knew they couldn't afford, maxing credit cards,
living off welfare and social security etc. Grow up, it's not Bush's fault alone, we all had a hand in it.
Obama is not ready. Now way!
McCain/Palin playing pathetic politics which is infact helping Obama more .. American people ain't stupid like McCain/Palin thinks..
McCain is out of touch with reality that people are pretty smart and they can findout truths & lies on internet in no-time...
if McCain learns to use computer, he can check the facts by himself.. he might change his mind and vote for Obama..
The reason McLame's political stock is plummeting is obvious. His biggest stunt in picking the Moose Hunter is backfiring and all of his other stunts have shown themselves to be as lame as he is.
Obama is right when he says that the American people are too smart to fall for McLame's latest stunt, attempting to "turn the page" on the economy.
Just say NO to Bush 44. Game Over. R.I.P
Landslide!
John McCain can we please talk about the ECONOMY?
How is the Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright discussion would help me pay my mortgage????
We're going to win. This is all that matters. O/08
Now is the time to dig in and work even harder! This last month will likely be brutal- the "powers that be" do not give up their power easily.
I pray this trend holds for our country's sake.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 AND 12
Ok this is seriously getting ridiculous. McCain we don't want to hear anymore attacks, let's get down to business and start talking about the issues at hand. Where are your ideas and plans to put America back on its feet? The economy is struggling and you're dismissing what America is going through as if it's a joke.
You saw the numbers.
You panicked...
And now you're desperate.
Same scenerio when you picked Sarah Palin.
You disgust me.
We need a lead as wide as your smile...Go Team Obama! Yes we can!
As things getting worse a consensus is building that the dems are needed to fix the mess left over by 8 years of repubs mismanagement.
Landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.
Well Mavericks, your days of glory seems to be coming to an end. Sorry Mccain, this seems to be a wrong year to run for president, too bad its your last chance. Real change is coming, even if it isn't the best. At least it will be different from the one we had these past 8 years
Could it be true. People are no longer falling for the negative attack AD lies, of angry Johnny and Gomer Palin.
Now we are ending up with 2 campaigns: The campaign for Barack Obama, and the campaign against Barack Obama. Any other candidates out there with new ideas?
YES, WE MUST.
Don't be complacent. It's not enough to see the polls going blue. We have to SHOW UP and VOTE!
Call someone you think is on the fence. Ask them how their 401K is. Ask them if McCain has a plan. Show them the fact check on McCain's health insurance plans.
Get involved! Barack the vote!
It is the economy stupid. McCain doesn't get it doesn't understand it and will be defeated. Sarah Palin has set back women in politics 25 years with her winks and poor english. Very unprofessional. Do we want her answering the phone at 3 a.m.
Go Obama Go! Don't let the liars get you down...desperation on an "old dog" and a pitbull are not pretty things!
Palin's absurd comment about "palling around with terrorists" is a new low point and shows how much she and McCain are lacking in character. Americans are not as stupid as they think.
The reason Obama is widening his lead is that the "straight talk express" That McSame promised America has caught on fire and is dead on the side of the road.
What happened to the McCain of 2000? Why is he such a liar?
What was first? Chicken or the egg?
Has McCain increased the mud slinging and sliminess after increase in Obama's popularity, or has Obama's popularity soared after McCain's increased the amount of dirt in his campaign?
The more dirty he will play, the more popular Obama will become by focusing on economy.
Obama can't lead us out of this mess. it can only be McCain. What expericen does obama have? NONE!!!
maybe mccain should think about turning his campaign around. maybe they really want obama to be president.. hahahahaha.. keep the false smear tatics and put Obama in the White House!!!
NC is turning blue minute by minute!
Obama/Biden '08
That's great news but I am sure this is not over....I am sure this is not the end of the McCain Campaign. The worst is yet to come. We need to be strong-ALL OBAMA SUPPORTERS!
Go get him tomorrow OBAMA. Show him what you are and what you can do for this country.
Just listened to Sarah Palin here in Colorado. What a wacko. She only slung the mud. She really has no clue. Sad.
OBAMA*BIDEN
Obama did nothing to help the economy.
Nada!
I do make over $250K per year and I'm still going to vote for Obama. If you have children and love this country, you CANNOT put these two in the White House. Even if McCain was fit to govern, and he is decidedly not, Palin shouldn't be anywhere near a position of power. Ignorant and proud, she shames all of us.
This military wife and Republican of 20 years is abandoning her party. Thank you McCain! If I could take my primary vote back for you I would. I have seen the real Republican party and it disgusts me. A party who believes in making the rich richer and the poor poorer.
A party who believes life is sacred but only until he or she is born and then they don't care if it's born with an illness the child's family can't afford. Who cares if that sacred child has to attend pathetic public schools. Who cares for the sick and the needy. This is NOT the party of family values anymore. John McCain and Sarah Palin have proven that.
So maybe Sarah and John need to be prayed over again by Sarah's witch hunting minister before they open their mouths again!
It's real simple, if the economy tanks, Obama wins. If there is an international crisis, McCain will pull ahead. It is time for Bush to bomb somebody. How about those pirates off the Somali coast?
The more negative McCain goes, the higher he pushes Obama up i the polls. He's losing this election and he has no one to blame except himself.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to the wonderful people of the USA. Go Obama/Biden!
Shame on you, McCain; of course, Palin has no shame, so we'll just ignor her for the rest of the campaign.
McCain, where is your honor? Where is your judgment? Where is your campaign of high road? Whay are your resorting to attacks and lies against your opponent?
You are now perceived as erratic and losing control of your own campaign.
Dear Senator McCain, The market dropped 800 points. Please suspend your campaign and jet to New York to rescue us. I lost a ton of money today!! I'm not kidding... SUSPEND YOUR CAMPAIGN!!!
I feel for it once with Bush, but not with you McCain.
Obama is the clear choice in this election for real change.
McShame Highlights have helped the slide, plus being a SHAMELESS LIAR doesn't help.
Plus Keating 5 will finish the debate for McShame.
Obama 08/12
I don't get it! dosen't mccain and palin know that we have been hearing about this bill ayers and jeremiah wright all year., and we don't believe the hype. Mccain is really insane! from mccain's behavior, this makes me believe that in Aug 08 mccain and his camp simply under estimated Barack Obama, and the American people. The republicans don't seem to get it. We are fed up with them. Its time for them to let the door hit them where the good Lord split em!
Of course he's ahead. He's the one talking about our country and how to solve our problems. That's what we want in a President. Obama, please don't start playing their game. We want a president we can believe in, that we're proud of and lives his life by good example. Mudslinging is desperate and is insulting to the voters. We want to know that the future president is reacting to our problems, not trivial grade school name calling.
Steady as she goes... Mccain turned out to be an idiot . How can he ignor the economy
This is more like it. America is waking up. Can't get too cocky though. See this through to the end strong.
Obama/Biden '08!
McCain askes "Who is the real Obama?"
He's the one kicking your butt. And from now on, address him as Senator Obama.... until November 5th when you may call him Mr. President elect.
No more lies, McCain!!!
Keep the focus on the economy McCain, neither Ayers nor Rev. Wright is going to bring back the money I lost in my IRA or my gas tank. Things must be getting bad for the Old Put America First Guy and Caribou Barbie to think I'm not keeping my eye on the economy. Take a powder McCain and just say Obama is the best man for the job at this time. America can't afford what you are cooking. In the end the Lipstick and the Pig will be saying hello to President Obama.
Given the WSJ article today on McCain's plans to slash Medicaid, I really don't think he's got a shot at Florida any more, or any other state with a significant number of seniors.
The more McCain goes negative, the larger Obama's poll numbers get. I just listened to a McCain speech and he bashed Obama the entire time. He did not outline his policy for this country. He is truly PATHETIC!
Truely sad that America will elect a totally unqualified con man over a true American hero. This is like the Fall of the Roman Empire, when a string of unqwualified emperors ruled. 200 years from now, people will say that America;'s fall started when Obama was elected.
We're tired of Bush and his brother McCain, and we've seen enough of the hideous parody that is Palin. Who cares if Barack is a crooked Chicago politician? I'd vote for the Arabs if they promised to put Bush on trial. I'm angry and my country is in ruins – who do I see about that? Complaint department? Run by Obama? Sounds good to me. Impeach the presidential chimp NOW before he runs off to Dubai!
McCain cannot be trusted. He is going to put this country into further ruin with his terrible economic ideas – which have already been tried over the last 8 years and look where we are.!
I still can't understand the other 47 percent.
MCCAIN/PALIN......THE THRILL IS GONE.....GONE AWAY....THE THRILL IS GONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
Why can't McCain just listen to the people. We don't want to hear about Obama, We want to hear about HOW you intend to change this country and the economic outlook. I don't see how smear attacks are going to let us see that. I'm not going to vote for McCain just because I shouldn't vote for Obama. If McCain can't answer my questions without being snide, I just won't vote at all.
Very disappointing. As an independent not sure about which candidate to vote for, I'm now convinced who to vote against. The McCain campaign has a definite look of desperation. These tactics don't fly with me.
-ford c., floresville, texas
Why does McCain think he can get away with smearing Obama when he was one of the Keating 5 that lobbied for less regulation of the S&L industry and ended up in a Senate scandal because of the S&L bailout in the 80s?
McCain is miserable and frustrated. He is spitting up lie after lie. He doesn't know what to do next. Tomorrow's debate should be interesting. Tens of thousands of people are registering to vote..and they won't be voting for McCain/ Palin. In certain states, his campaign is nearly bankrupt. McCain deserves a stunning and humiliating defeat on 11/04/08.
Considering the horrendous alternative, McCain/Palin, Obama's advantage can only grow. Because Americans are NOT stupid.
Now they want to start spreading more lies when this country is down and out! Keep the negativity up cause personally we are all of tired of it and we want change! not someone who tells lies and tries to spread hate.....We are not falling for the swift boat politics, so please, please keep going negative....
Maybe McCain will "suspend" his campaign again. Oh wait... he has apparently already suspended that portion which was honorable. And the polls are already showing how well THAT works.
Good night, McPalin.
The DOW is dropping because Obama is leading in the polls.
Gasoline was $2.25 a gallon before the liberals took over Congress.
I was always told growing up two things:
1) You can tell who a person is by the people they hang around. Palin & McCain.... McCain hangs around a couple that wants to CAN the United States... hmmm
2) Let a person talk long enough and they will begin to spill the truth of a matter.... Palin in the Couric interviews.
If you give a person enough rope....
Slinging mud is the only thing McCain and Palin have left. Unless, of course, somehow the voting machines malfuction or they have a few Florida "chads" fall their way.
The only honorable thing McCain can do at this point is admit his wrong-doings and acknowledge that America does not want his kind of politics anymore.
The people have spoken.
One Car
One House
One Spouse
One Nation!
Negative campaigning isnot working...
perhaps...if McCain could address the issue facing us all...but no he has no new ideas,so attack.is all he can do.
What happened to the McCain who wanted to run a clean, respectful campaign? I was hoping that Obama would be able to stay on issue but it's impossible. After seeing what happened in 2004 to John Kerry he had to address the attack ads and produce some of his own.
Please, whoever wins, help us! US! Not big business who has gotten us into this fix. Trickle down economics didn't work for Reagan and it didn't work now. Someone . . . please think of us.
Please don't let the smear tactics of the McCain/Palin camp work on the voters!
Keep reminding people about the issues and who has put forward a plan to get us out of this mess.
Stay focused! Less than a month to go and we can vote people who care about "we the people" in office rather than those that care about "me the candidate".
Obama/Biden '08!
So who is the real Obama? No matter what happens, he cant be ANY WORST than the ones we have NOW
As long as Barack Obama continues to focus on the issues; he will continue to gain support. Americans care about the economy and how they are impacted.
The McPalin ticket are trying to deflect focus from what really matters. There is no real subtance to their campaign. They don't have any new plans or vision to help Americans.
They have proven that electing John McCain would be like a 3rd term for George W. Bush.
Obama KNEW someone involved in a scandal.
McCain WAS personally involved in more than one scandal.
What's to know?
You should see so many people are wearing Obama t-shirt all I hear people are so excited to vote for Obama...I would like to ask McCain a question why did he vote not to have MLK birthday as a holiday..McCain you have to be for all American not just for the rich people I mean All American,,,,,,,McCain your state is the only state does not recognize MLK holiday...That is true fact....We shall over come one day Black, White, Hispanic, Asia as one American.
the only thing McCain has suspended is an Honorable campaign that and the truth. it's time for a real leader one with intelligence and calm demeanor that isn't afraid to be truthful and take advise from either side of the aisle if it will benefit the country. can you imagine leadership that doesn't polarize and is willing to work with anyone? government without smears and deception wow what a concept.
she's got some "hubris" to go attacking someone else when she can't even speak intelligently in an interview to defend herself..
The truly sad part is that, as low as Bush's approval ratings are, the house, led by Nancy Pelosi, has even lower ratings.
These poll number are fine, and I believe people are waking up, but make sure you vote, don't discard your voice in this and become complacent that Obama will win, you know if the vote is close what will happen (Florida)
It's not too late to switch to Liberman or Mitt or Rudy Juliana
I voted for Bush twice. I voted for Obama/Biden 08. McCain is not good for the economy. Palin is a joke.
All the republicans have left to throw now is filth, we need the good men and women of this country to fight this stuff back and we can take this thing.
McCain/Palin = Biggest Fundraiser for Obama. Keep slinging the mud guys. Out of time, out of ideas, out of money, Out of Intergrity.
Thanks for the rise in poll number we appreciate it.
Obama is intelligent. I'd rather turn the country over to him then take a chance on McSame conking out and having that know-nothing joke, Sarah Palin step in. McCain/Palin don't have any plans, thoughts, ideas, etc. The only thing they have are attacks and insults. When pressed, they just look to Obama and give us "Yeah, what he said." They try to steal Obamas plans, ideas, and even campaign slogan. They're right, Change is Coming, but it isn't them. I hope it's Obama. He is change. Palin and McCain are the reason that there are copyrights and patents, for inventors. They'll do and say any and everything to win. They don't care about America. They're just running their lips. Lots of lip and no substance. An empty suit and an empty dress!
Enough with the polls already. I'm happy that Obama is leading, but a HUGE part of the population is left out of these polls. And, BTW my fellow readers, how many of YOU have been polled? I certainly haven't.
McCain is a gambler, but he gambled with the wrong chip Sarah Palin, She is dumb and he is a angry old man. He needs to retire and she needs to go home and stay home.
Its about time americans start seeing that if we elect McCain we are electing Bush for another four years. Bush two is the worst president since Hoover and maybe ever. We have record deficit, a failing economy, falling house prices, and the world hates more than ever. We want change. We want fresh, new direction. We need it or Im afraid of what will happen with another Bush.
McCain needs to step up and stop the attack adds they are diverting the people from the main problem which is the economy. Thats the only way he can win if he paints Obama as to risky, but most people see right throw it.
Obama all the way in 08
This has got to be one of the most poorly conceived and executed presidential campaign strategies in US history, what a disaster!
I am too worry about my retirement plan than to hear about Senator McCain's attack.
Senator McCain – Can you please spend more time to help fix the economy and less time attacking someone else?
The lead is growing because Americans want answers to the problems we are facing.
We are tired of mudslinging. All that mudslinging is not going to solve any of the problems we are in right now.
The only way he's going to be able to turn the corner is the TALK ABOUT SOLUTIONS TO THE ISSUES.
Obama keep doing what you're doing, you'll continue on the road to the White House.
I had respect for McCain as a man of integretiy – I am NOT a Democrat,
but gosh his campaign is really irritating me. Also after he picked Palin – it kicked me in the guts. She is so misinformed and sadly appears Plain Palin dumb at times.
My regrets to the senator from Arizona.
Bye
Desperate times call for desperate measures... The Palin – McCain ticket is sinking to an all time low. Lets get real, McCain = Keating another banking scandal. Palin – McCain, please just go away. This Joe 6 pack, Soccer dad has had enough of you.
I am APPALLED that McCain wants to cut Medicare – it's the only insurance that truly works for the people.
SHAME on him!
We want answers about the economy, not SWIFTBOATING. McCain-Palin do you hear us. Our 401K's for our retirement are disappearing, our health insurance is doubling, we have no gas in NC, our home is depreciating. But I guess after working 40-60 hrs. a week all our lives we did not plan on being rich but want to be able to eat and have a roof over our heads. Independent for Obama-Biden.
I think the American people have finally made up their minds on the colossal charade that is McCain/Palin.
Although Palin may look hot on the outside... she's just another ugly conservative republican underneath the pageant queen hairdo and lipliner. And old man McCain is totally unstable.
My only regret is that Obama/Biden didn't have a more honest opponent to run against this election.
Vote Obama/Biden Nov. 4th! Or better yet get out and vote early if your state offers it!
Obama/Biden '08!!!
Here comes Rev. Wright brace yourself. Mccain could have loss with his respect intact now look at him , and Palin was voted in office, why is gas higher in Alaska then any other state? The produce so much oil but gas is higher there- please check for yourself. Funny
Who is the real Barack Obama? I'm still waiting.
Hey Rezko, can you spare a gernade man? Sure thing Barrack, here you go! Put it to the man brother.
McCain, Palin eat it... ahahahahaha
The nastier and more ultra Republican Sen. McCain acts, the more Sen. Obama's numbers rise. I'm no brain scientist but even a simple guy like me can make a correlation there. If you speak on the issues and focus on what's important, the more people will listen to you and get behind you. I keep waiting for Sen. McCain to show up with a walking cain and start yelling at little kids to "Get Out of My Yard!"
Not only does McCan plan cuts in Medicare, the benefit that your employer pays for your health care, John McCain will call that taxable income, and you will pay taxes on that. And America, will you please quit whining, once you leave your home, and lose your job, with no more unemployment benefits, and your baby is sick, and you cannot get any help. I know, I have been there. Go Obama/Biden!!!!!!
Great news for Obama. If Obama wants to really put this race away he should announce, this week, who the planned members of his cabinet would be. Put out an all-star cast of the smartest, brightest, and most capable men and women in this country. If he can turn the Obama campaign into "Team Obama" it will be a landslide victory for him.
The only hope for changing Amercia is to change it with a vote, then stay tuned to make sure your vote is not wasted by promises not kept. Unless Americans stay engaged in issues after an election we give a blank check to Washington. Hopefully we are awake and we'd best stay awake on an hourly basis. First, vote for Obama/Biden. Haven't we had enough of a President who can't string together a complete sentence? The cutesy pig with lipstick can't put together a coherent sentence to save her made up face and knee hi boots. McCain can't put down the reading cards. ENOUGH!
I cant believe that instead of focusing what americans are in need for, McCain decided that he will start with the nasty political smears..
So far the only things I have heard from McCain is attacks, so I decided now .. my vote this election is going to be for OBAMA!.
Barack Obama please keep letting McCain be the erratic, desperate, lying mess that he is right now and defend yourself as much as possible while keeping the presidential demeanor you have right now.
They say we don't know Barack Obama, but I disagree because Barack Obama's life story has been all over tv, in his books, all over the internet, but I have no idea about McCain except he was a reckless soldier, was in the vietnam war, was a pow, came home and cheated on his wife and then married the millionaire, and has been a self proclaimed maverick who hasnt gotten much done in his 25 years in Congress.
I like everything I know about Barack Obama and this crap about who he knows is ridiculous! I don't know half as many people as him and I'm sure there's a rotten few in there. Talk about desperate campaigning! DO BETTER JOHN MCCAIN, YOUVE SOLD YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL IN THE FORM OF REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGNERS!!!!
A question for both candidates:
How many times, if ever, have you committed an act of adultery?
Follow-up:
Do you believe an adulterer has the character to be president?
Wow. Maybe this election won't be so close afterall.
John McCain is Shamless with his desperate attacks and not sticking to the issues. Whatever Honor John McCain had when he wore this nations uniform is gone. I cannot believe that McCain puts himself above country over and over again.
BOTH MCCAIN AND PALIN HAVE DONE EACH OTHER IN.
MCCAIN FOR HAVING NO ANSWERS, SOLUTIONS, IDEAS OR PLAN TO HELP GET AMERICA AND THE ECONOMY BACK ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
PALIN FOR JUST BEING HER INCOHERENT, INCOMPETENT, BABBLING SELF.
I totally agree, McCain is Bush squared. Why on earth would anyone vote McCain/Palin???? Are people really that blind to see a repeat with this nominee? Hello people wake up and watch the debates. Palin is the dumbest thing since barbie
Wow!!! There is still hope at keeping the American Dream alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT SOARS!!!
Above the pettiness and smears and scare tactics and bigotry and racism injected by the McCain/Palin ticket – towards a stronger country through Obama/Biden ticket's intelligent and thoughtful leadership and extraordinary organization.
We are witnessing a departure – "We the people" are on board...
Yes we can!!!! Obama/Biden '08.
Hey McCain... you need to start talking about the issues and not Obama's love for his country.
@ Tom
Congress' approval rating is low because george Dub-ya vetoes everything that comes across his desk. So why is your congress ineffective, ask old George Dub-ya Bush.
YES!! Go, Obama! You and (the REAL Six Pack) Joe Biden stomp McAngry and Giddy Gidget into the ground!! Stomp 'em GOOD!!
Don't forget about McCains advisor's secret payments from Fannie and Freddie. Making a big splash by suspending your campaign (if by suspending you mean continuing to run attack ads, doing TV interviews, and accepting contributions) won't make all of us forget.
No hypocrites
Go for inteligence this time . . .
BO08
It's very comforting to know that McCain is spending valuable $$$ and recources to defend what once WERE red states.
Somehow, I can"t believe these polls. Obama made lots of money off Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the American people think he can help our economic crisis–His maybe, but not ours.
It is about time people woke up and seen the "real McCain". He has run negative ads all the way through his campaign. He has no ideas on the issues so all he can do is go negative. We need a President who can see the problems and will try to solve them. Obama/Biden 2008.
CNN you just do not get it...Real folks are speaking out and McSlime and McFailin are done..Toast so to speak!!
Gidget and the old Moondoggie should never get to the white house. Please we must all vote for change and . avoid 4 more years of this madness and greediness. I keep asking myself if things can get worse. Mccain wants to get in to help all of his rich friends and regular people like us will get the same thing that Bush has given us. Nothing but debt , high prices and too much grief.
Finish strong we still have to show up and vote. You know the Repubs will try any dirty trick to steal this thing.
We're sick and tired of McCain's mudslinging too.
I have yet to hear what McCain's plans are. This is just crazy. He has been running for eighteen months and no one knows what his policies are.
Good News!
I had not QUITE gotten my daughter over into the Obama side – - but Gov. Palin and Senator McCain did!
Since she wants to know WHY she should vote for Senator McCain and he won't tell her, she has started listening to Senator Obama.
That, plus the unwarranted negative attacks finally did the job.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Thank You Captain Maverick! Your Super Powers Of Deregulation Have Crippled The Economy! . . .your Application To Join The Hall Of Doom Has Been Accepted!
I feel more confident in Obama's ability to handle the economy. I don't trust McCain.
Enough with the polls already. I'm happy that Obama is leading, but a HUGE part of the population is left out of these polls. And, BTW my fellow readers, how many of YOU have been polled? I certainly haven't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I find Pallins comments about being the average Joe disgusting and an insult to any Average person. Furthermore an average person will only produce average results at best. We need an educated smart intellectual like Obama. One who has a presence in the national and international scenes as Obama. We dont need a bimbo beauty queen making a mockery of the American political system. McCane you must have been smoking an illegal substance when you picked the bimbo. What happened to Romney,Guiliani and Huckerby . They are too busy laughing their heads off at your incompetence.
Obama's at 53%, McCain is at 45% with 2% undecided. John's only chance is the last 2 debates or a game changing event. The stock market is the real October Surprise. McCain is abandoning his message and going to mudslinging. I'm not sure if he has enough mud to sling. The more likely result is that he will damage the republicans chances down the ticket. It already looks like a wave election with republicans facing big losses. Mccain is not only going down with the ship, he's taking the crew with him.
Well Done Captain Maverick! Your Super Powers Of Deregulation Have Crippled The Economy! . . .your Application To Join The Hall Of Doom Has Been Accepted!
Did anyone hear Lieberman saying that the little god he serves that helped him loose in 2000, has now grown big enough to help Palin win.
Lieberman, your god is still a toddler.
Oh right CNN you call it just as you did with Gore ahead of Bush CNN the one u count on poo
Obama is a man I see for all of america and moving out of the era the past eight years has brought us. He continues to see the good America is, while helping repair the wrechage of the past eight years. For all the repsect America has lost in the past, he wishes to bring that respect back, and thus helping economically with reopenning doors that have been closed with an eye on the world that is better suited than a simplistic narrow minded cowboy mentality that will deepen the hole we currently reside.
Tom October 6th, 2008 4:28 pm ET
The truly sad part is that, as low as Bush's approval ratings are, the house, led by Nancy Pelosi, has even lower ratings.
------–
Sad or not, who do you think will be re-elected come this election? I thought so.
Keep on bad mouthing Obama, McCain instead of giving ideas on how to fix the economy, end the wars, give everyone healthcare, you know why McCain/Palin have to smear Obama/Biden because they have no ideas of what to do with anything. They are empty hot air. Typical Republic conservative crap, will it isn't going to work this time, because we really are in a depression economist just call it recession now adays, because of the great depression of 1929. Just wait for the layoffs, and the businesses to start closing because they can't make payrolls or buy materials to produce products. People aren't hurting yet wait till they can't use their credit cards anymore, then you will see the real pain.
Nancy
Poor victim Obama.

Hoover was unwise . . . the wrong man for the time . . . but at least he was intelligent and relatively honest. Unfortunately, Bush is both dumb and dishonest.
The Moose Queen from Alaska is driving the "Straight talk" make believe express of a cliff. Calling Obama a terroist was the last straw.This shows desperation, ignorance , and childish actions comming from a supposidely educated woman seeking the vice-presidency. If the people in Alaska are that ignorant as the Moose Queen i am glad my childred are not in school in that state.
released by the obama campaign today: – keatingeconomics.com.
Please, please, please vote for Obama-Biden!!! We need a president that will improve the image of the US in the world again.
And seriously... I am an educated, working woman and I am insulted by Sarah Palin supposedly representing "us" and being the "replacement" for Hillary... WHATEVER!
ok... just to repeat:
BARACK OBAMA for PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's going to be a landslide! Obama/Biden will win with more than double the electoral votes. I can feel it!
Keep working hard to get the Democrats in. The Republicans want us to take our eyes of the ball...NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN!
God bless America!
CNN ,MOST WORST NETWORK IN THIS WORLD EVER ,PLEASE DONT SAY YOU ARE THE BEST POLITICAL TEAM AND IF SO,PLEASE SAY TRUTH AND COME OUT WITH TRUTH.
PS McCain.... i think the people know by now that you are in NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM a "Maverick." Enough alraedy with the tired lame saying. You sound old and out of touch with reality buddy.
Get a life McCain, your campaign is over!!!!
You can rejoin your twin – Joe Lieberman– in the Senate next month as a member of the MINORITY!!!!
The American public sees you for what you are - nothing but a lying, grumpy old man that has nothing to offer this country.
Return to Arizona or whereever your 13 homes are and retire into obscurity. We don't need you any more than any of your other cohorts, ie. Dick Armey, Ted Stevens, Sen Craig, Newt Gingrich, etc. FADE AWAY quietly and spare us your 'expert' political advice.
This will blow up in MCcain's face big time! it's all old news dotcha kno?
I cannot wait to say that is our President Mr. Barack Obama! And I am a white woman. I SAY IT LOUD! I SAY IT PROUD!
Yes, we can!!
Obama/Biden 08
Pain and Panic needs to suspend their campaign again, its so obvious
SARAH, SARAH, SARAH, SARAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The question here is...Ayers committed a crime when Obama was 8...Ayers was not convicted and charges dropped when Obama was 12 yrs old.
Obama served in a non profit Organisation with Ayers 28 yrs later...Does that make Obama wrong? Ayers stopped his campaign in 1974.
Mccain was a grown man when Keating 5 happened.
McCain knew what Rev Hagee said about the Pope and still sort his endorsements.
McCain knew the terrorist in Sudan were carrying out genocide and still didnt discourage Cindy from having business ties with them.
McCain knew Georgian forces were gonna attack innocent people in south Ossetia and didnt discourage that move....
McCain knew that deregulation would hurt Americans but wont stop Rick Davis from getting paid by fannie Mae up till August
McCain too erractic to lead
McCain cant be trusted as President
McCain wrong judgement for VP pick
McCaing not fit to be commander in chief
I am joe "and i approve this message
Barack Obama please keep letting McCain be the erratic, desperate, lying mess that he is right now and defend yourself as much as possible while keeping the presidential demeanor you have right now.
They say we don't know Barack Obama, but I disagree because Barack Obama's life story has been all over tv, in his books, all over the internet, but I have no idea about McCain except he was a reckless soldier, was in the vietnam war, was a pow, came home and cheated on his wife and then married the millionaire, and has been a self proclaimed maverick who hasnt gotten much done in his 25 years in Congress.

Obama/Biden '08/'12
This is a function of the McCain campaign being so hypcritical...
They thought they could continue to mix lies with the truth and mislead the american people into believing that they are being completely honest, but....
Truth is like oil in water, it will eventually rise to the surface (and be vividly obvious for all to see).
It is nice to see that the voters are not afraid of real change and are not buying the right wing hysteria about Obama.
All I hear from McCain/Palin are distortions, rumors, and lies. How about being "mavericks" and doing something different than what your Republican predecessors did?
what about our ECONOMY!!!! McCain, enough with the nagitive adds..
I guess Ms. "I am too good to be attacked but am allowed to attack" has bitten off more than the attack dog can chew! If she keeps pressing AWright I can see more coming out about her HUSBANDS ties to a successionist group (why don't we hear about THIS on CNN!?!) Her ites to a church that believes in speaking in tongues and snake handling and witchcraft. Her "blessing" from a Nigerian witchdoctor to keep her free from witch craft while Govenor. maybe her statement "I do not understand how Waqshingotn politicians anc first be for something than be against it" will be explained when she looks into her own past about the bridge to nowhere, for it when it got her votes against it when it turned into a political liability. But STILL built the road going to this now non-existant bridge against THE WISHES OF THE LEGISLATURE IN ALASKA. Yep maybe the only thing different between a pit bull and Palin is just lipstick, the rest is the same.. mindless attacks with no understanding
If I didn’t know that McCain and Palin were a dangerous pair to run this country, I would actually feel sorry for McCain right now.
I just watched and heard McCain give a speech filled with hate, fear, lies and smears against Barack Obama. There was absoultely nothing in his words that reflected any plans or ideas to move this country forward and fix all of our many problems.
Anyone who listened to McCain today, and is truly honest about it, saw a man filled with panic and frantic desparation.
John McCain is demonstrating to the world that in his overwhelming desire to win, he has become a pathetic and little man.
Obama may be gaining in the polls, but he needs to answer the charges about his connections..I was 8 is not an answer.
Am I the only one in America that see's John McCain and Sara Palin for what they really are (2 people that will do and say anything to win this election)? God help our nation and our world if they win.
Vote smart – Obama-Biden '08!
McCain went from "hero" to "liar" and I am finding that more and more people are questioning the truthfulness of the political ads. I would never state that I approve of a message which is misleading or out and out false.
That is why McCain lost my vote months ago. He went ugly.
The more McCain smears the higher Obama's numbers.....this is a clear example of what has taken down the republican party....they tear down, we build up
Turn out the lights. Light a Candle. Americas not in the Mood. Mccain and Palin havent a clue. There comes a time, when lies die, and the republicans can move to the moon. Bye Bye McSame and Caribu
Unfortunately for John McCain his irrational behaviour and his resorting to slander instead of sticking to the facts has done him in big time. Obama will blow him out of the water in November and McCain has no one to blame but himself and his ridiculous campaign managers.
American voters are smart. McCain and Palin are not.
Barack Obama's proclamation last July to being a "citizen of the world" was affirmed Monday as a new poll - taken before the August conventions - showed that in 16 out of 17 countries surveyed he was the overwhelming choice to be the next president of the United States The lone country to prefer a John McCain presidency: the U.S. good for McCain is running for president of the united states of America not the president of the wold
What happened, once again, to my comment. I guess , once again, it offended you because I spoke the truth regarding the republicans, McCain, Palin, Bush, Cheney. Oh well, reading the above comments shown above, I am not alone in feeling the way I do. I'm just more BLUNT. Truth hurts, doesn't it.
Page 3 today THIS HEADING ON THE ORLANDO SENTINEL..... BY DAVID BAUDER. IF TV SAYS OBAMA WINS, WAIT TILL ALL VOTES

Barack Obama's tendency through the Democratic primaries to perform better in exit polls than he actually does at the ballot box has some media organizations nervous heading into election night..................
Paragraph 4...Exit polls frequently overstated Obama's vote during the primaries by as much as 3%.
Doesn't that make you believe that as some folks have said, votes were stolen in the last presidential race? Give them time to fix it if Obama wins?
What do you make of this?
10-06-08
McCain may have once been an American hero. For his war effort and for the suffering he did on behalf of the country, he has my thanks. But, he is not able to be President. He appears sick. This sport is for a young man. Thanks for your contribution Senator but it is time to go home and let the young run the country. Times have changed. No one really buys the old Republican line anymore. You are speaking to younger educated people now. It's not like it was in the sixties. Just rest in mansion and let us take care of you now.
I'd like to thank John McCain for inadvertently campaigning for Barack Obama instead of for themselves. And when your self-serving, hypocritical campaign is blown into smithereens by the Obama campaign and American voters alike, you'll have nowhere else to turn other than into the mirror, where you'll see a shell of the man that all Americans once respected as a gentleman and war hero.
Have fun lobbing grenades at Obama these last 30 days. The final bomb on November 4th will end your White House endeavors.
I have also already voted for Barack Obama the next President for the United States. Yeah Baby.
Drill that Mc NOSHAME. And cheap not even a real barbie.
I think Senator Obama can stay above the fray. The charges from McCain and Palin are so weak, now that people know how intelligent and honorable he is that the strategy will backfire. McCain/ Palin could soon be near Bush in approval rating.
McCain talk to me about what you and Palin are going to do to fix this economy? Tell me how are you going to help my 401(k) portfolio so I can retire with 7,9,11 houses and 13 cars!!!!!!!!!!
Where are the new ideas MAVERICK????????
Obama/Biden 08/12
I feel more comfortable with Obama/Biden ticket than Mcain/Pallin/Bush ticket. He is smart, and is not hot headed. Just like I have mentioned during this Campaign, that Mcain the Membrane /Pallin is the same as Bush failing policies.GO GO Obama/Biden No Matter What Mcain/Pallin says. These are all scare tactics. They have always played a dirty campaign.We are all worried about food being put on table and our future for America.
In the last month up to the election, the campaigns should be talking about their programs to deal with the issues that are on the minds of the electorate. .I guess if you nothing to say you dredge up this nonsense. An examination of McCain's history brings us back to the Keating Five, S & L scandel up to the present whith his swift boat tactics and campaign staff of lobbyists and former lobbyists. I do believe that Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan are doing gymnastics in their graves.
The defense that Obama didn't know Ayer's history at the time they met is one more in a long line of steaming piles of BS. Even I learned about the Weather Underground in college, and I lived in Boston and was not a student of government at the time. Of course he knew what his neighbor had done!
This is the guy who wants to lead change. The market has another bad day and he tells President Bush to do something about it.... something must be done!!! Well, he wants to be our leader.... what is it he would recommend? What "change" would he propose?
So far, this guy is all yack and no specifics. This is the guy who forced the changes in the Community Reinvestment Act that led to Fannie and Freddie doing stupid stuff and tanking the economy. Change? To what?
He'll only be specific after the election.... then it'll be too late.
Woah! Looks like McCain has not only adopted the same failed policies of of George Bush, but also the failed campaign strategies of Bob Dole. McCain has started the same liberal, liberal, liberal chant that Dole tried against Clinton.
I don't understand why SOMEONE doesn't ask John McCain about all of his known ties to the GAMBLING INDUSTRY !!!! The New York Times had a three (3) page artical on this Sunday a week ago, and yet todate, no news program has picked it up. Anderson, Cambell.....where are you ?
Obama......your team needs a commercial that has McCain and his team around a Craps Table throwing $100 chips to see who will be the one to own up to all the lies they are spreading !!!!!
Please help get the word out about this issue......
It is a sad day in this country when hate and fear-mongering are the leading tactic for a presidential candidate–especially during these troubled times. Nothing in his or Palin's behavior is remotely patriotic, or Christian, or representative of the way most Americans want to be personally or view their leaders. The Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.
I wish there could be a four-person debate where we would see Obama and Biden standing side-by-side and facing off against McCain and Palin. One team represents hope and optimism and looking toward a brighter future, while the other is cynical, hostile, and repeatedly insults the intelligence of all Americans.
Are you there God? It's me, MCPALIN...Can you tell me why we are losing in the RED State of VA?
Well John, It's because you are MCSAME–Virginians are JUST AS TIRED as the REST of the country of Bush, I mean YOUR policies. Perhaps if you could come up with a viable solution to this economic crisis that we are in, maybe the American people (and God) will hear you (NOT!)
Keep up the good work VA. OBAMA ALL THE WAY!!
Kerry was up in polls, Gore was up in polls. To take a small sample of poeple and say "this is how the whole state\country feels" is just silly.
The voting on 11/4, that is the only one that matters.
get ready for it because the more Obama's numbers go up...the more attacks he'll get from McCain. Although the negative ads and attacks are shameless, this just may make a stronger president in the long run. At least it's not a repeat of Kerry.
Whenever I read comments from those that blame the "Democrat" congress for any of this I am once again reminded that most voters have not a clue....or are republican
Where are John and Cindy's taxes???
Both Mccain AND Palin are angry because they are racist! Nuf' said. (And I'm white!)
Obama's lead is growing for many reasons, but McCain's bizarre and frankly irrational behavior for the last 2 weeks is probably the biggest among them, with Palin's bizarre behavior a close second. McCain's nasty, arrogant appearance in the first debate combined with his complete miscalculation in "handling" the bailout bill may have sealed his fate. Palin's acceptable debate performance could not make up for her appalling flops in TV interviews, and the obviously canned nature of her answers did little for most moderate voters to dispel the fear that this uninformed rookie might end up ensconced in the Oval Office. Add in the now-famous "witchcraft video", the amazing currrent relevance of McCain's Keating 5 involvement, the shrill and tired rehashing of Clinton's failed primary strategy, Bush's disapproval ratings, and the sheer, ugly, sickening HATE and long-ago debunked LIES coming from the McCain camp.....stick a fork in him, barring a major Obama catastrophe, he's done.
It is simply time to get down to business and make things better for our citizens. Enough of the rich manipulating the poor.
Obama-Biden '08!
No more division
Keep the (alaskan) separatists out of the Oval Office.
OBAMA/BIDEN NOW!
ONE AMERICA FOREVER!
It's so obvious, Stevie Wonder can see that McCain/Palin are desperate, and you know what they say about desperate people – cause for desperate measures. They will do just about anything to win!
However, we can talk, talk, talk; lets back it up with going to the polls and voting for Barack.
Let's put an end to this mess once and for all!
Obama 08!
McCain still believes in the bankrupt laissez-faire economic policies of Reagan and Bush, in free markets that aren't really free, and that capital formation is the same thing as job creation. I'd like to see him challenged to defend the proposotion that capital formation is the same as job creation in a debate, because the real world doesn't work that way. Capital formation is necessary but insufficient to lead to job creation.
McCain doesn't believe in anti-trust rules, even though excessive comsolidation destroys market freedom. He has no understanding of how market systems can fail, so it's implausible for him to say he can fix any part of it.
Obama doesn't know everything, but he doesn't invest himself in fallacious dogma, so he has a capacity to deal in facts, learn, adapt, and succeed that McCain lacks.
YES, YES, YES!!!!!
Its "The Awakening of America."
Poor John McCain, I'm actually starting to feel sorry for him. I wish him many good years of retirement and hope he reflects on the terrible judgement he's displayed in this Presidential Race. For Sarah Palin, I hope she gets to spend some quality time with her children and grand child ,at least until she moves on to a career in the world of entertainment as she no doubt will. She and her husband make me think of that old song "How ya gonna keep em down on the farm after they've seen Paree/"
McCains judgement and irresponsibility has caught up to him. His judgements has not put America First, and stooping to out right lie is all telling. McCain exposed!!!
Hey Barry can you please call me? Love, Larry Sinclair p.s. I miss you!
The progressive and intelligent American ticket – Obama-Biden-08
The ridiculously idiotic ticket – Palin-McCain-08
The The out of touch ticket – McCain-Palin-08
I rest my case.
Obama-Biden-08
I am tired of seeing Sarah "joe six pack" Palin's face all over CNN...why is it that CNN keeps covering her if she will NOT give them an interview? EVERYONE SHOULD EMAIL THEM THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO SEE HER FACE OR WE WILL ALL BOYCOTT CNN!!!! It is time for us, the viewing public to speak out....I know this post may not reach the boards, but I will post it all over the internet that CNN is being bias, just as their sister network Faux News is.....
I am again disappointed, I keep hoping mccain and palin will step up and do the christain thing, stop lieing stop bareing false wittness, and stick to whats Important, but they have not!! They continue the same mccain , bush tactics, I still believe Obama will be a good pres, that we all can count on. OBAMA/BIDAN
Republicans should be ASHAMED to even show their faces in public! They've destroyed this country! They STOLE the election in 2000 and then proceeded to steal everything else they could get their greedy, slimy, corrupt little paws on.
Interesting how the republican base preaches with such a righteous, religious tone and yet support one of the most evil, corrupt and unethical regimes to dictate in all of US history!
Bush can go to hell, he’s already take America there
This must be why McCain has decided to stop talking about the economy.......He & Alaska girl have no ideas so just sling mud.....Pathetic................

Republicans who are people of faith could never condone Mc Cain's behaviour. They are walking away from Mc cain by the droves. No one of faith would ever accept this behaviour. The office of US president should only be occupied by people of good character,good judgement and honesty. I can already see that old bunch of men with their oil barons manufacturing the next lie. (Lieberman, Mc cain, Rove, Cheney, Bush etc) . They will do anything to keep obama out with their smears and lies. The only hope is that the American people will use their own good judgement this time .
Obama's strategy:
Play victim, attack, play victim, attack.
Here is what I don't understand about the McCain campaign. Hillary went negative and lost. McCain goes negative and he slips in the polls. He goes more negative and slips even more. Now his plan is to go even more agressive and negative than before!
I'm even surprised that he's that stupid. The first thing a person knows that if something hurts, stop doing it. And McCain sure is hurting now.
Plus, shouldn't we be focused on the real problems? Just like that old lady in the Wendy's commercials, McCain... "Where's the beef!"
It's not over until vote day!!! Everyone must vote to make our voices heard. Make sure that you take someone with you to the voting booth. If we all do our part we will change our country for the good. Yes We Can! VOTE! Be apart of HISTORY!
YES "INDEDED" WE CAN!
America, for Americans and the world, MUST be great again!
Also my prayers for the Joseph/Biden Family.
A REAL reason to suspend a campaign. To comfort FAMILY.
Jill, we don't use those ballots anymore in Florida. We now have actual ballots and we are using the optical scanners in Palm Beach County. That is the reason the primaries were moved up...they blackmailed us into having to vote earlier than Feb. 5th so that we could have new machines...Rethug Gov.
I think it is insidious for the second highest offices of the land would dumb down for a "folksy" hocker mom type. I would think that the person would have the corrcect diction, the poise, and gravitas that would aspire, and set an example for children or young adults to become. I don't want to hear "guys and gals" , "gosh golie wow"-type of lingo in the White House arena.
I wonder how tolerant this type of linguistics would be if Condolezza Rice used the ghetto vernacular in relating to some black folks. What up doe, hey Chavez show me what you workin' wit. It would set all the strides of Blacks a hundred years. Sarah Palin is definitely a very bad Hollywood movie becoming too close for comfort.
McCain went from hero to zero, after Bush any republican who ran would have met the same fate, no more Cheny's or Roves or Rumsfields(Dumsfields), No more secret closed door meetings with oil company execs, no more corrupt attorny generals, no more executive priviledge.. this era of coruption has got to end. Anybody is better than what we got now. Obama 08--
What a relief to sense that more voters are waking up and educating themselves; informed voters cannot possibly vote the McCain-Palin ticket for reasons too numerous to mention here, but it should be enough to know that we cannot continue an open-ended committment in Iraq, spending $10 billion a month when they accumulate tens of billions in surplus especially in this time of extreme economic crisis. McCain is 72 yrs old, has had 4 bouts of malignant melanoma and has not yet reached the 10 yrs cancer free mark. Palin is obviously running for president, and she is woefully unqualified unless all we require is a president who can recite talking points and stump speech excerpts.
Fact Check:
McCain/Palin have told either BOLD FACED lies and/or deceptions in 92% of his negative ads aimed at Obama
Fact Check:
Obama/Biden have told straight up truths or atleast mostly true statements in 75% of his forced retaliation ads against McCain.
Go with the MOST honest ticket, that would be Obama/Biden in a landslide!!
All these multi-billion dollar CEO's on Wall Street have contributed heavily to the McCain/Palin campaign. If elected, John will pardon all criminal activities.
OBAMA-BIDEN
"Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it." – John McCain, 2000
I filled out my ballot this morning, it's in the mail and I voted for Obama.
I feel so good about that and the fact that very soon I can quit looking and hearing Senator McCains whiney voice and blinkies winks.
VERA POSSIMUS!
IF I WERE MCCAIN I WILL ABANDON MY CAMPAIGN AND HEAD BACK TO THE SENATE IN WASHINGTON EARLY TO AVOID TOTAL HUMILIATION COME NOVEMBER 4 BECAUSE THAT IS WHERE HE BELONG. HE SHOULD BE ADVISED TO TAKE THAT BOLD STEP JUST LIKE HE DID BEFORE THE FIRST FAILURE OF THE $700BILLION BILL IN THE HOUSE.
RUN MCCAIN-PALIN RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its time for McCain to retire to one of his nine (9) houses if he still have them after the dust settles in this economic meltdown. And it's time for Palin to hitch a ride on the moose she rode into town on back to Alaska where she can take care of her kids.
Number One question on everyone's mind on the morning of Nov. 5th: "How could the polls have been so wrong?!?"
These false criticisms of Obama is only going to help him out. Palin must have forgotten her husband belongs to a cult devoted in over throwing the USA and Palin has even spoken at their meetings.
Could this election go down in history as
"THE AWAKENING OF AMERICA."
Obama said today that time is running out for McCain – well, I have a feeling McCain has been in this position before – when he was a POW. He probably had that thought every day for the 5 years he was locked up. So, Obama, in his arrogance, thinks the election is his. Let's see what happens to Humpty Dumpty on election day.
It looks like the McCain smeer campaign is working........
IN Obama's favor
Nice work McPain
SP= Start Packing
JM=Just a Moron
Yes! This is the real news guys. Not the false accusations McCain is making that you're keeping at the top of the Ticker.
Keep slinging that mud McCaint, and watch the margin grow even faster. Your only hope at this point is to start talking issues and come up with some concrete proposals for us..
McCain cannot understand Joe Six Pack and it is showing. If I had eight mansions and my wife was raking in millions I would say the economy was doing ok as well.
It takes a special person to be priviledged and still care about the poorer people. Mayor Bloomberg and Warren Buffet are two of those people. And come to think of it they both support Barack Obama!
Please no Kerry 04 Relapse,
Actually Vote on Nov 4th!
Obama/Biden in 08!
Did anyone view this youtube vido where mcsame verbally abused a young lady at a hearing? Hmmm so much for respecting women mr mcsame.
ooooouuuuchhhhhhh......... eh JOHN!!!
this is good news. Let's work hard to make sure it sticks.
Si se puede! We can do this. I still don't know what McCain's plan is. He never talks about himself and his plan in specifics.
People are wisening and rising up. Yes McCain, the american fundamentals are strong. And we know the difference between true and false.
OBAMA for President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain should have at least chosen a woman with a measurable IQ.
By accusing Obama of a shady background McBlame is inferring that any US Senator with a questionable background can slip through the election process in the Senate.
What does that say about the Senate election process???
What does that say about himself?
McCain's nasty personal attacks just serve to tie him to Bush/Rove all the more in the minds of voters. It's a self-defeating strategy. People want a plan, they want stable leadership, they want something new.
Cam McCain be fair to himself and withdraw from OH, PA, MN, NC, VA, NM, CO, FL before he is ashamed by elections there? Can somebody help him to undestand that American people have decided on changing the direction of the country? Negative attacks will not work on Obama. Hillary nows that!!! Could McCan understand where the wind in blowing to??
Polls widening? What a surprise! NOT! When McCain unleashed his VP attack dog, was he not aware that these issues have already been addressed and dismissed. I'm sure Palin wasn't as she doesn't READ anything (too busy). This just makes McCain look pathetic, and Palin, well . . .
Good luck finding work after this is over. I wonder if Tucker Bounds will have a position in the Republican machine as well.
What a despicable tone he has mastered. Can you sleep at night knowing the trash that is coming out of your mouth?
Karma is an interesting thing and what goes around comes around.
Are you ready?
Get rid of Obama today! Get him out of our living rooms where he has been squatting since January! This country needs a President and not a an "amateur"! We are sick of his face everyday and no one knows who he is really!
NObama! Never!
Obama is only ahead by 5%! Incredible... being that the economy is where it is, and we have lost more than 4,000 lives in Iraq.
It goes to show people have real concerns about him. He lucked out when he ran for state senator that is opponent got kicked off the ballot; he then lucked out again when Jack Ryan (Rep.) quit the U.S. Senate race, then he lucked out when FL and MI decided not to participate. Now, he's lucking out again. In any other year, he would lose.
McCain's only hope is to have the voting machines malfunction and have the Florida "chads" fall his way. lol lol lol
It's not just about McCain winning.
It's about the security of our country.
It looks like the American public is finally showing that it's too smart for the smear tactics of the McCain team. Sen. McCain is so hostile it's scary–wouldn't even shake Obama's hand. He's emotionally unstable and his bare ambition shows he'll do anything to be elected. "Country first" ??? Is serving in the military 40 years ago the only way to be patriotic? Come on. Gov. Palin, speaking like an 8th grader through clenched teeth, is too dumb to be in national office. The two of them are completely unqualified–alone and certainly together.
Try this one on for size John:
In 1989, Cindy McCain became addicted to Percocet and Vicodin, opioid painkillers, which she initially took to alleviate pain following two spinal surgeries for ruptured discs, and to ease emotional stress during the Keating Five affair. The addiction progressed to where she was taking upwards of twenty pills a day, and she resorted to having an AVMT physician write illegal prescriptions in the names of three AVMT employees without their knowledge.
Do you care to comment Senator?? She had to take pills for emotional stress during your Keating 5 investigation.
I still don't know what McCain's plan is other than accuse the opposition of tactics that he is clearly using.
Obama = talking about how he would handle the economy if elected Commander-In-Chief.
McCain, the hockey mom and advisers = planning an attack on Obama's character.
Noticed the big difference ?
Obama / Biden 2008
McSame/Failin starring in "USA: No Country for Old Grumpy Men!"
Sick and tired of" McCain slime bag machine" churning out gobs of
sickening garbage. This guy is as pathetic as I have EVER seen.
failin Palin is just as bad with her racist's remarks in Alaska regarding
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. And just think these people want
to be our leaders.. wafj
WERE THEY GIVING OUT FREE METH IN ALASKA THE DAY PALIN WAS ELECTED GOV. OF THAT STATE, CAUSE SHE HAD TO BE DUMBER THAN SHE IS NOW! THANK GOD FOR BARACK OBAMA AND JOE BIDEN.
After reading the article about John McCain on the internet under "Rolling Stone Magazine", I can't imagine why anyone would want to vote for McCain. It was a very enlightenting artcle showing what the true John McCain is like. Not a nice person and not a real hero in my eyes. Everyone should take the time to read it if you care what happens to this country.
Well this certainly good news, lets hope it continues. Well Sarah when you come out with all your nasty remarks Obamas polls go keep up the good work Sarah. Lets hope the debate tomorrow night is a fair and that questions arent inplanted to the audience that will favor Mccain, I would not put it past the Mccain camp to do that.
Hey McSHAME... THOU SHALT NOT BARE FALSE WITNESS! God knows when you lie. If we the people of the US fall for McLames new strategy then we helped elect a Liar. Let's not let that happen.
Viva la President Obama!
Be part of history! Vote Obama on Nov. 4th
We gonna shake up the worrrrrrrrrld!!!!
My Mother... 86 years old, republican her whole life is voting OBAMA! Plus, she lives in FL. Go Mom!
I am ashamed today to say I am an American! Our political candidates bring us down to new lows. Our government and our political processes are broken............
I'm a 1st time voter I just want to thiank CNN for fact checks because I know how I'm voting now and it be won't be for McShame
I Believe that Mc Clain needs to focus on what's going on with our courtry today instead of attacks. Also john McClain says that country 1st , but I quest when you are behind in the polls he will stump real low. McClain needs to stick with the issue that are effecting us now the ECONOMY if you know how. and Wall street should be called Fall Street. And Palin need to clean up her own back before attacking someone else back yard.
OBAMA 2008
Elaine
Palin has Troopergate, Bridge to Nowhere, Alaskan Independence and Ruskies in her backyard.
McCain has Keating 5, Southern Flags, Adultery, riding Bush's coattail and his votes against MLK day (I think the most telling with the least coverage).
Seems like they would really want to keep quiet when it comes to skeletons in the closet.
Can you imagine how electing this unhappy old fool and his brainless hottie will play around the world? Lithuania can take our place on the UN Security Council – they will have more credibility and pull.
Hmmm, let me get this straight. Palin is attacking Obama's character and says he cannot be trusted. She has fruitlessly dug up what she calls relevant past misgivings. Ok, so lets see...her eldest son has been arrested on a "number" of occasions–look it up if you don't believe it. Her teenage daughter is unwed and preggers. And she herself is under investigation and not cooperating for abuse of power. If America cannot see through all this hypocrisy, history will not be too kind to our generation.
Go Obama! 353 Electoral votes to 185! You heard it here first!
As I always say, I don't trust polls. However, in the off-chance that this might be true, the american people might FINALLY start to be seeing how much a worse candidate John McCain is . Worse even than bush. Yes, I went there.
If McCain's 'glove's off' strategy doesn't produce any results by the end of this week, what will he try next? Pin Obama on a sex scandal? Wait until Obama is president, then try to impeach him?
Who says there's no good news anymore. Americans know that Obama will be better for the economy.
Folks, stick to the issues!! This is probably one of the worst economic disasters in history , there is no room for the McCain /Palin type of discourse in todays debate. There is a rough road ahead & people must decide who is best to steer us out of it. And one of the issues facing voters is whether or not Gov. Palin, who is a heartbeat away from the presidency, has the ability to lead at this time?? Is Sen. McCain at the age of 73 able to handle this type of stress? Those are legitimate issues to consider & have nothing to do with their respective characters. These are tumultuos times ahead for the world & it appears the voters are moving towards the person they feel is best capable of handling it.
Senator Obama has almost recaptured my faith in all americans.
I really hope that we are looking at the issues and i'm proud of the americans that are standing up and saying we will not stand for silly season in the midst of turmoil. I care more about my future and/or childrens future than what a guy did in the 60's when Obama was 8 and I wasn't even born (who by the way now teaches millions of students).
McCain/Palin – tell people what you are going to do for them and their pocket books or shut up!!!!!!!! No one wants to hear your crap!!! My 401k is disappearing before my very own eyes and you want to tell me the other guy is scary?? Why?? Because he doesn't look like you ???? Give me a break!!
Disgusted by this process – I can't wait until Nov 4th and hopefully we Americans will restore this country back on the right path.
REGISTER TO VOTE – OCT 6th (deadline)
Hey, will someone please explain to me what it is about my comment that needs to be "moderated"? The dictionary defines "moderated" as
"to lessen the intensity or extremeness of ". Exactly what is extreme about my comment of "Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!?
We Want Change.
We will take a chance on an educated man with logical ideas but only a limited amount of experience over a man with bad ideas, inflexible thoughts, and knee-jerk response answers that are dangerous.
We are Patriots, We are Americans. we are not Republicans.
This news will push McCain closer to the edge of insanity. (He doesn't have far to go.)
Is this a surprise to anyone? McCain over the past few weeks has become a desperate candidate – from attempting to ride in on his white horse and save America from the financial abyss, to sitting in the media principals office to help Sarah Palin get out of interview trouble, to negative ads about Obama being a terrorist supporter – you wonder who seems like the risky choice come November 4.
McCain lost me when he chose Palin as his V.P. She has a big mouth with an empty head.
A Republican for Obama.
GO OBAMA!
I urge everyone to go to the online Rolling Stone site and read the main article, titled, "John McCain, Make-Believe Maverick"
McCain at his rally in New Mexico:
"Who is Obama?"
A supporter in the crowd yells:
"A terrorist"
McCain says nothing –
So, how's your 401 K doing, America?
You can get the bibs and Depends out now for McCrap. He's starting to stink!!! Even his friends are steering clear of him. Good-bye Sarah. Im voting a straight Democrat ticket. GO OBAMA!!!!!
What I liked most in the various factors considered in the opinion poll is "expectation". It's appears Americans are going to get it right this time.
Best of luck, great America.
a landslide is coming for obama
In 2000 we wher asleep . In 2004 we where afraid to wake up . In 2008 we have finally awaken
29 days to go and I have yet to hear John McCain articulate a vision for this country or a plan to avert unemployment, inflation or a gas crisis not seen in this country since 1973. That recession lasted nearly a decade and I am just old enough not to want a rerun. Thanks Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada, Missouri and Colorado for changing from red to blue and giving the other guy a shot.
Because, its economy stupid!!!!!!!!!
Yes we can!
McCain's slogan "Change is Coming"
Obama's slogan "Change is Here"
Obama/Biden 08
McCain and Palin are complete jerks.
With all the false negative attacks that McSame and McPalin are lavishing on OBAMA, he is still going forward.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08,12
America's reactions to the ugly comments made in the past three days by Sarah Palin and McCain will drive Obama's numbers even higher. What the Republicans don't understand is that sleazy tactics are not what America wants-we want solutions-we want answers-we want calm, clear and honest leadership, not the erratic, sarcastic, and dishonest fare coming from the McCain camp.
What McCain and the Republicans are experiencing is the chickens coming home to roost..>Good riddance to them...Limbaugh...O'Reilly...COulter...and the rest of the lunatic right...Happy Days are Here again!
These negative attacks by the McCain-Palin camp only show that they are losing! This is all they can do in the last few weeks that are left before election.
The McCain campaign is now desperate, digging up dirt that isn't even relevent to the campaign. Obama's big problem is that he did not have a choice in his heiritage or his name. Right now it will not matter who made what promises on raising or lowering your taxes. The bottom line on the economy is that someone or better yet, some people will still have to "foot the bill" or "pay the piper" as they say. And you all know who that will be.....the American taxpayer. We went to Boston in August, and we already did our protesting...but this time is wasn't about unfair taxes, it was about lousy representation....we tossed our tea bags into Boston Harbor....All of our Arizona Congresspersons voted against the bailout the first time which was great, but last week, 4 of the 8 voted for it.....our rep voted for it, and he just lost our votes.
McCain and his mouthpiece Sarah "hockey mom" Palin have no Idea what is going on in this country .We don't care about what happened 20,30,40 years ago we want to hear what your Ideas are.Oh yeah they are the same as George Bush's. I feel like I am listening to charlie brown's teacher everytime they speak. wa wa wa wa. I will vote for the guy with one car,one house, and the only candidate offering any new Ideas at all. Obama/Biden.
This is great news, but let's not get stop. We are registering record numbers of new voters for Obama in NC.
Obama/Biden 08/12!!!
If I have to face an economic depression, I would rather have a president that won't let American children starve–than one who veto any help for struggling families.
As is typical, the mainstream media is getting suckered into its usual fallacy of treating the two sides of every issue as equally legitimate.
McCain's raising of the William Ayers and Rev. Wright specters are COMPLETELY DISTRACTIONS and irrelevant to Barack Obama the man and his qualifications/policies as President.
On the other hand, Obama's raising McCain's connections with Charles Keating could not be more on point in this current climate, where malfeasance by officers of financial institutions has resulted in near catastrophe in the economy.
The Obama supporters are in for a rude awakening. The next president will be presiding over the toughest time yet in recent memory.
Money will be short, Al Queda isn't going away, taxes will have to be raised, SS benefits cut.
The next president will be truly despised because he'll have to be the one to tell America, the days of never ending prosperitiy are over, it's time for sacrifice.
If McCain is elected, he'll be hated too.
Neither one is telling the American public this yet, but they will.
Yet Obama is the one offering false hope of change. He's the guy promising a return to the good old days.
Yes we can? Can what, Obama? Answer the question honestly without being afraid of giving an answer that will hurt your chances of being elected.
McSame=Keating Five=20,000 people lost their pensions=corruption
Yse, Obama will win the whie house. Palin did not help Mccain at all. She was just destraction
Looks like we're going to get Jimmy Carter the 2nd. Double digit inflation and unemployment, taxes through the roof and people holding on to their money. Get ready to get in line for a gallon of gas. Thank God it will only be one term.
While the national polls and polling in key battleground states may appear to benefit Obama, PLEASE DO NOT become complacent.
Stay involved, keep talking to your friends and neighbors as if Obama was running 10 points behind. A tidal wave is in the making, but you have to keep the momentum going.
Last, but not least – VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE .
Obama....... He is the man that will get this country back on its feet. I'm glad that most of america see's the GOP(Republicans) for what they are... wasteful,lieing whenches........
SI SE PUEDE!
Thank GOD that we, Americans, are not being fooled by the Republican-lie-attack-machine!
Thanks Bush/Cheney/McCain for the legacy of DEBT you have left our children and grandchildren!
$10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT
0VER $490 BILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT
And our Nation's economy is a disaster!
The liberals can register all the street people they wish but in the end Americans will choose Mc Cain. We need EXPERIENCE and LEADERSHIP......not just HOPE!!
With the Economy in the Shape that it is, Now that I have to take part in paying for a 810 Billion Dollar bail out deal, and the fact that all the McCaint/Falian team have to offer is the same things we got from Bush/Cheny. All President Obama and VP Biden have to do is speak to the issues and let reality speak for itself. "Not this time" People... "Not this time."
U.S.S. Forrestal fire – look it up! John McCain = just another reckless cowboy wannabe who brings disaster wherever he goes!
google this: "U.S.S. Forrestal McCain role" to see the truth about this man.
If your interested in reading some info on the real John McCain google JOHN MCCAIN'S TOP10 TEMPER TANTRUMS.
Many of us have already heard about his temper but this will give some specifiics. It told me that If McCain becomes president all around him will have to agree with what he wants and says or they will be cursed at or worse have physical violence taken against them.
McCain has no ability to lead our country on any level. We cannot give this man any power. HE WILL ABUSE IT!!
Oh my god....Obama is ahead again this week...well lets dig up some more false statements that don't pertain to ANYTHING about this guy and maybe the dumb folks here in AMERICA will not think what an idiot I am and put the light on Obama as a bad person....Man I'm a genius....
Sincerly yours
John McCain and Sarah Palin
P.S. Drill Drill Drill it won't do anything to our beautiful world or at least the remaining years of my life.
Such a shame that McCain is now grasping at straws while Obama is talking about the economy and how to better it
i wonder who is beginning to look more presidential
Obama knows he is going to win and he is preparing to handle this mess we r in, while McCain/Palin is trying to bring up old news hoping to stir up trouble
WONT WORK!
Palin-the candidate under investigation now hurling accusations at Obama. The campaign with the largest number of active participants that have caused the mess that we are in now-McCain. This country does not need the McCain/Palin team to equal failure in the immediate future.
We need intelligent, thoughtful leadership NOW. I spent my lunch hour volunteering on the phones for Obama/Biden... same as I will tomorrow- and the next day- and the next day... until we bring it home for our country!
WOW... over the 50% threshold.
Looking more and more like a landslide to me. Now let's fix this mess and get America back where she needs to be!
When you are behind it is natural to whine. In Islam it is said that the true person will overcome the false-it is only natural. Obama should get ready to move in to the White House come Jan 20 th.-Guaranteed Allah Willing
This lead will continue to grow as John McCain get more negative. People are tired of it! No one cares about thes false accusations. They want to know what will happen with the economy, etc.
McCain,
That's what you get when you go negative. You should have learned a good lesson from Hillary.
John McCain asks: who is the real Barack Obama? Stick around Mr. PO Dubya, you're about to find out that Barack Obama is the man who cleaned your clock on November 4th and freed this country from the long national nightmare that has been the Bush Administration.
