You know what would be nice? Hearing Sarah Palin actually answer a question she's asked instead of going off a rant starting with "John McCain and I…"!!!

If Palin won't give an interview, why is CNN giving her any air time? Using CNN as her forum is a great opportunity for her. But she hasn't earned it. I won't watch this nonsense any more. Until she sits down to talk with reporters from CNN, she shouldn't be heard on CNN. Stop being used.

The 90 year old lady in Ackron, ohio shot herself because her home was being foreclosed and McCain/Palin want to turn the page on this economic crisis and mudsling? What is this world coming to?

Pail/McCain are so desperate that they have not thought about their own past. I could go on and on and on about these two opportunist who will say and do just about anything to win. Check out Sarah's husband, the first dude. Who is the real John McCain?

Did anyone hear the smart Palin refer to Afganistan as our neighboring country? And to take Albright out of context only means that she can't read either!

You didn't bother to check the Governor either with her Witchcraft praying preacher who ran a woman out of Wacilla because they thought she was a witch. Check that out too before she points more of her witchy fingers!

McSame, you think Obama is a terroist?hmm. I guess you didn't bother to do your research on the first dude and his terroist friends who wanted to separate themseves from the US. Joe Yogler, whos says"dam america" Check it out!

I am an undecided independent. One thing is sure, Sarah Palin's smear campaign turns me off. I am not voting for McCain anymore because of her lack of qualification and her relentless personal attacks.

"You will know their names…I will make them famous" - Apparently, just another example of 'Say Anything, Do Nothing, MeFirst, Politician in Washington who is sacraficing his every moral code to simply get elected.

Fact is, America is sick & tired of this game that the GOP ticket is playing and is making a stand against the greed and corruption that is disguised as a republican presidential campaign. Country First? What a JOKE! This Texan is ready for change! Obama/Biden.

C'mon all, get out to the polls and send a clear message that ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I hope people don't buy into all the mucslinging thats going on in this campaign. I hope they stick with the real issues that matters to people in this time of crises but I see that its not happening. McCain has made so many mistakes in this campaign that no one really can beleive him anymore. All he can do is bring up old dirt, that people at this time doesnt' really care about. They want to know about how they are going to take care of them with their health care, taxes, stocks jobs. but Hey and Palin she can't talk about obama, without looking at her past,, with Alaska. She's was wanting to seperate Alaska from the US. Well I thought McCain had some intergity but now He has really went down hill, that makes me wonder what he would do for our country. Yea McCain you say Country first. all you are thinking about is you first and the heck with everyone else. well I'm voting for Obama. I have had enough of the same old eight years. If people don't want the same they would vote for Obama.

This low IQ Sarah Palin keeps saying she will be tasked to work on energy independent. So if we are in a economy crisis, she cannot help to fix the issue???? What kind of VP candidate is this?
Senator Mc Cain will be regret for his poor judgement by selecting this lady.
I used to have great respect for senator Mc Cain, but after his VP selection, he just showed people his irresponsibility. His campaign say "Put country first", I want to know if he put the country first when he selected this low IQ person to be his VP?

The McCain / Palin events are starting to look and sound more and more like Klan rallies. All McCain needs is a white sheet and a pointy hat. Palin already has a pointy hat - a dunce cap that is. Let's talk about he economic crisis, healthcare, lost jobs and pensions. Talk about the issues. Judging from the majority of responses on this site, people are not fooled and this is actually backfiring as we speak.

I will be a first time voter this year as I just became a naturalized citizen. As a former Hillary Clinton supporter, I got disgusted with her negative attacks and nasty campaign during the primaries. After getting to know Obama through debates, I was amazed with his intelligence and his very civilized campaign. I became an Obama supporter, although I could not vote. The little experience is not a negative aspect for me at all as I believe he knows the issues well and he is brilliant. McCain has experience but for what? For making bad judgements, for going to Iraq for oil causing so many American soldiers and hundreds or thousands of Iraqi women and children to die. All those years of experience means nothing to me with this kind of politics. It's a waste and he hasn't learned much from it.

McCain and his incompetent VP choice have been running a very nasty campaign. Just for the sake of winning. They dream, because Obama will win this election. Plus, I do not believe McCain knows foreign policy well. He has made some major mistakes; i.e. he could not tell the difference between the sunnis and shiites. I really do not think he has any clue about the culture or the people in Iraq.

He is 72 years old and I cannot put my future in this country in the hand of a 72 year old who has had cancer numerous times. Especially now after his VP choice. His VP candidate selection showed us how selfish he is. This woman has no clue about anything. Regular people know more than she does! She keeps blaming the media, but no one in the right mind will believe what she's trying to pull after seeing her interviews. For those brainwashed people who keep praising her, I feel sorry for you for not being able to see the truth and the reality.

Does anyone imagine a Sarah Palin would have actually earned the nomination of the Republican Party had she run with the rest of the pack? Perhaps in 2012 she will be crazy enough to try… by then even Republicans will recognize how provincial and narrow minded she is.

How John McCain could have risked the security of America and the world with such a brazen and reckless mind as hers is bewildering and beyond comprehension. Judgment and Country first? Sorry just don't buy it.

Obama/Biden 2008

3 days of negative attack on obama and the polls is going up for him.
what does moosemama has to say about that?????

Michelle Obama's thesis … is unavailable until Nov. 5, 2008, at the Princeton library. I wonder why."

"Why a restricted thesis?" "Is the concern based on what's in the thesis? Will Michelle Obama appear to be too black for white America or not black enough for black America?"

Attacking Obama personally is a good strategy. People will easily vote for Obama and Biden if the McCain Campaign goes down that road. ECONOMY!!! ECONOMY!!!!

John McCain Is behaving like a trigger happy soldier.
Obama is showing his always steady and thoughtfull
leadership. Obama and all who vote for him as well as those who
dont will see why and how a leader can bring people
of different political parties,different race cultures,and even
other forms of government and religions together.
It is time for the new generation of leadership and awareness
to begin. No more closing a blind eye : wink, to truth wisdom
and knowledge.

Rev. Wright is a minister of a popular church. Professor Ayers is a college instructor at a prestigious American university. They don't look like terrorist to me right now. Both are intellctuals who have written many books.They look like hard working Americans contributing to our society.

McCain and Palin…Now that's risky and dangerous!!

The respect I had for John McCain is long gone.
Voting for OBAMA in Colorado.

I am a service member of this country's fine military and have been for the last eight years coincidentally. Anyway, I have been watching these elections very close. I feel the slanderous and cut throat tactics of the McCain campaign appalling and desperate. When will he or his advisors realize that this is a campaign of policies and truly American lives are at stake at home and abroad. A failing economy and a demotivating war effort. I have spent some time in the Middle East, we as service members fight for our country, but more importantly we fight for each other, our brothers and sisters on our left and right. All this we do to get home to our families and so they can get home to theirs in one piece. I was fortunate enough to finally get home to mine but I know there are many more who want the same. Obama seems to have touch with all of us as service members and regular families, John "Maverick" McCain seems to lose himself in the amounting dollars wasted and rising death toll of our service men and women. His running mate as well needs to come down from her enchanted tower and really take a look around. America needs change, a new face, and a fresh start. This Republican ticket doesn't represent that. Any true patriot can see that, war hero, average man, the young and old. America and the world are ready for a new era.

Never select someone for VP that you only met once and didn't thoroughly vet. I would be willing to bet the farm McSame didn't know Palin had a pregnant teenage daughter or son who was constantly in trouble, or that Palin couldn't give an interview and speak good English, or was under investigation. The reason we are not reading about Biden in the paper is because he was thoroughly vetted. All we have is that he used someone elses words once and did't footnote it. I bet many doctoral candidates have done the same. That is not interesting enough to read in the National Enquirer.

Too bad McCain didn't chose a woman with a measurable IQ.

The senator from Arizona should be worried because Obama is kicking the McCain out of John!

She wanted to go to Nebraska just to go to Nebraska…
Really?
I'm from Nebraska and haven't been there in a long time. In fact I can't think of much of a reason to go there. Besides visiting my mom. There isn't much there. Why would she want to go to Nebraska? To give a speech? Come on…
They must be pretty worried if they are sending her to Nebraska. I can't think of the last time that Nebraska didn't vote Republican. It's been a Republican State for so long that I think the only time that Bush Jr. ever visited the state was when he went into to hiding after 9/11
They must be pretty worried.
I think that Palin is acting completely inappropriately for a person that is trying to be elected to the second highest national office.
Why don't they try to talk about what matters to the people instead for attacking peoples fears?

McCain's judgment is TERRIBLE. He got the Iraq War totally wrong before it started and Obama was totally right. Now McCain didn't even select a VP who he can trust to answer reporter's questions. That shows his "America First" slogan is a complete lie.

Three girls under the age of 17 need their mother. A downs syndrome baby needs his mother. Family first, then everything else afterwards. Don't say 'Why doesn't Obama stay home", because his daughters would feel uncomfortable talking to him about girlie subjects. It's not about what women want dummies, it's what children need.

To all who say Obama will disappoint, and not do anything, I still would rather have him in their than Mcsame, maybe its because of the last 8 years of a horrible Bush term, or even those 4 years under Bush1 where in 1991 the economy was in the toilet, just not this bad. Its funny how every time a bush is there our economy goes under. SO even if Obama does nothing can it really be worse than a Bush administration?

Obama and Mc Cain in dead heat in N. Carolina and Mc Cain sent Sarah Palin there? I wonder why senator Mc Cain keeps making mistake. He should spend time reading the polls and the criticism that people wrote about Sarah. Everytime this Sarah Palin talks, I cannot stop laughing. I wonder why there are some people still listen to a person whom could not even name the news paper she reads? She keeps saying that she wants to talk straight to the American people because by doing that, she can just recite whatever she they told her to. Should we trust and out our economy into the hands of the lady whom could not even name a news paper? I am talking about a governor here, not a kindergarten who does not know how to read.
Even my son, a 6th grader, was laughing when he listened to Sarah Palin's answer about the newspaper.

This is my first presidential election, because I just turned 20 this year.

I was born and raised in North Carolina and I'm currently a student at uncc. I can honestly say that the new, young voter turnout is gong to be amazing. There's a sense of excitement among my campus, and also many other NC colleges I've visited recently. While I can't speak for all in my age group, I truly believe Obama/Biden is what the country needs and I think everyone is going to be surprised at the turnout of young voters here in NC (and across the u.s.!).

I think NC is still considered a "red" state here, but if all the new voters turn out like I think they will, Obama/Biden definitely have a shot at taking NC. Not only young voters are turning toward Obama either. I've spoken to a lot North Carolinians who normally vote Republican, who are starting to lean obama.

North Carolina (and America) is starting to see what ticket is truly the best for us right now–Obama/Biden.

why are 95% of blacks voting for Obahma when he has such a radical leftist record ? Who are the racists?

whoever wins, we are as divided as ever and will be so easy to manipulate and abuse by the next administration. democrat or republican, you are about to get screwed. so don't use up all your energy hating on each other, you may need some for that second, or third job you'll have to get. MAKE NO MISTAKE, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS ARE BOTH RESPONSIBLE AND NO PARTY IS INNOCENT IN THIS.

McCain and Palin need to focus more on answering "Who is the real John McCain".

I don't know why so many are critizing Sarah Palin. Afterall, this chick has helped the OBAMA ticket pretty well. Send the lady some flowers!!

I could care less about the Economy at this point. If Obama wins we'll be living in a socialist state. Read the facts & put down the kool-aide. We want to see real journalists reporting about obama's ties to terrorists & racists. The real american people who love their country need to rise up against the main stream media and demand fair coverage of the truth about Obama! The future of this country depends on it! I'm glad Sarah Palin is willing to bring the issues of Obama's character to light and I hope John McCain does the same! It's not "turning the campaign negative" and it's not "smear tactics" Guess what. . . it's just telling the truth!

It is very sad that this country is about to elect an individual who will turn us into a socialist state where we will have very few freedoms and must all live the Party line. You will either be a Democrat or left behind.

I'm sure Republicans across the country are figuring out a way to manually get McCain and Palin elected. I hope someone is watching the voting machines and of course chads!

Not only are McCain and Palin slinging the mud in every direction they have now resorted to "hate". They are trying to stir up hate crimes to support themselves. Sorry idiots!!

There is no doubt that the RNC and John McCain are clear losers in this year.

Here's my comment: I'll be thankful when this race is over.

Now that McCain/Palin have gone 100% negative our MSM is losing focus taking about this nonsense. Get back to the issues that will affect all of us.

Are any of you aware about the 90 yr old woman who shot herself in the chest because she was losing her home? She will survive and Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are going to let her keep her house when she gets out of the hospital.

By listening to and responding to all the negative stuff we lose focus on the issues.

Obama/Biden 08

John McCain lost my vote after his nasty attacks against Sen. Obama.

NC Voter- I think McCain's taking VA, NC, and IN for granted and that's why they're HEAVILY BLUE this year.

Vote for the guy with one house.

I've lost all respect for John McCain.

I agree with McCain when it came to choosing a woman for vice president, unfortunately for him it was the wrong one. Palin came into this election and is making a mockery of the electoral process. At this point I think that Tina Fay from Saturday Night Live would make a better vice president than Palin. She needs to learn how to keep her mouth shut and stop trying to smear Obama. The more she opens her mouth, the more everyone is starting to realize what a joke she really is. Everything that comes out of her mouth is ridiculous. I have to stop and wonder if she really believes her own lies. She should be focusing on the economy and her pregnant daughter but instead she is focusing on smearing Obama. I guess that is because she has no clue as to what is really going on in the world. I am sad to say that because of Palin, I will be voting for a democrat for the first time in my life.

I think McCain has lost his last marble.

Everday that Obama does not take the bait he looks more Presidential. Everyday he delivers his positive message and speaks seriously about the issues of the economy, jobs, heathcare and foreign policy to Americans on an adult level he looks Presidential. The snide insults and ineuendos from McCain and Palin make them appear desparate and small. Everytime they take the low road they look incapable and one dimensional, ill-equipped for the challenges. After all, if they aren't talking about solutions like Obama is talking about solutions it must be because they have no solutions. The contract between the two campaigns is astounding. Obama is a capable executive. McCain is an erratic and ineffectual scrambler.

Of course McCain camp is worried. Why talk about the economy? why talk about the war? let's focus on Sen. Obama's character and not what the voting public want to hear about. Sheesh

To me, the extreme negative campaigning is what the Republicans are best at. They have been doing it since Nixon was in office. Four years ago it was the Swift Boat people.
The difference this time is that Obama is willing to fight back.

Ohio polls show Obama leading there. Is McCain going to pull out of PA and Ohio now. I think that will be the best thing for him to do. Pull out of PA and Ohio…… send the pitbull back to Alaska where the next set of polls will show Oama gaining as well.

Palin is one to talk! The biggest hyprocite!

the Palin Plan backfired

aw shucks!

McCain is out of his mind. He's grasping at straws and making a complete idiot out of himself. Between Palin pitching her lies and falsehoods, they both belong in the looney bin.

Trailing in the polls, it was only a matter of time before McCain came out flailing wildly with this sort of insubstantial and inaccurate nonsense. It definitely illustrates his desperation, and I think it will backfire. It will appeal only to the conservative base, and those votes are safe for the GOP. It will turn off independents and swing voters who, rightly so, are more concerned with REAL issues such as the economy, health care, Iraq, etc.

Iam glad to see America come to its senses. Id hate to have to say I told you so again. I dont think we could come out of it, again.

McCain has been on the Defensive ever since he named her as his choice. McCain is losing his marbles.

**Sigh…. There are silly moments when I wish I am a RNC campaign strategist. It breaks my heart and drives me crazy to see this party's campaign strategy. It is like seeing a lost lamb (McCain) in a heavy downpour (economic crisis) and mistakenly seeking comfort from a big, bad wolf in red riding hood clothing (Palin). My simile is perfect. Btw, we all know who ate the lamb and what happened to the wolf, right??? *wink*wink**smile

Duh.

I wish I could vote for Obama, but I can't as I am Canadian!

You are quite right! Enough! Stop the negative smearing campaign. Stick to the issues. Show the American people what you can do for this country to save it from bleeding further. Jobs, the economy, ending the war, rebuilding our reputation throughout the world with our allies, energy, global warming, etc. Show us how you can walk the walk not just talk the talk. Stop badgering one another. The American people are smart enough to see through this.

I wonder what Palin will do on Halloween. She can't possibly turn into a worse witch than she is already.
Today, I donated another $50 for Obama/ Biden and bought more goodies from their store.

Obama/Biden 2008

This weekend while doing household chores my little gr dtr was listening to music.she started to chant her own lyrics singing "Barack Obama, Barack Obama, Barack Obama". This went on for at least 5 mins. You have to wonder. Then when I ask who is going to win the presidential race, between McCain and Obama, my other gr son said McCain won't win because he is too old and his back hurt so he can't run fast to win. I just died with laughter, kids say and do the darnest thing. They learn a lot of visual perception in school nowadays.

Being an independent in NC, I have to say its not looking good for McCain. Most of the people I know are either voting Obama, or for those that don't like him 3rd party.

Palin was a low blow to independents and anyone that still respects the office of President. His flip flop on the economy, suspending his campaign and negative attacks sealed it….

I'm sorry to say that Sarah Palin don't care what the future of America. Be realistic. How can she handle her position as a VP and raise a family? She have a pregnant 17 year old and a special need child. While serving as a VP, is she going to stay in ALASKA and Charge tax payer for her service per diem? Do we want someone to represent us in the world that has no knowledge what is going on around the world? I'm sure a lot of Republicans out there are not happy with PALIN. She sure can talk street talk. To me she doesn't fit as a CONSERVATIVE. Her family is dysfunctional and certainly don't have the morality value. I wonder how her kids are doing in school.

With every attack, Senator Obama moves up in the polls.

We are doing EVERYTHING we can here to elect Mr. Obama. You can count on us!

I am the only person in this country that is more worried about our country then some patry crap. Our we the people that far gone that we must hate each other because we need to win for our team.

When you spend 100 times more then you will ever get paid is it the job you want or the power. Health Care is one of our next biggest problems 250,000 nurses short and getting worse each day. I have not heard anything about that or the cost to me and you if you cut my pay. I am one needle stick away from AIDS or Hep-c and we want to do what with health care.

Can we for once quit trying to kill each other over some one good or bad that wants more than we get. Can we remember that our country is at it lowest and find an answer talking to each other not about each other. GOD needs to save us because we are doing a great job going to He**

I am not sure about others, but I am disgusted with all the mud slinging. All I want to know is where candidates stand on various issues and why they think their policies are better than their opponent's. McCain's attempt to call Barak a terrorist is equivalent to calling him a muslim radical. I am just sick of this. All these attacks tell me that candidates are running out of things to talk about. Let's get back to the issues and stop personal attacks.

Love you Sarah…You are a true role model and hero for American women. Those who attack you are jealous - plain and simple. McCain and Palin 08!!

This is over,McCain can only now win,the most retarded,of the red states.No-one,no-one,who does not,goose-step to the orders of gestapo am,thinks McCain can win now.

Some of the Obama supporters are haters. They do not know the important will do. It is dangerous to let the enemy inside!!!

All you McCain supporters that say he can turn the economy around. Just how do you know he can do that? He hasn't given a plan; Obama's economic plan is on his website for all to see. He said he wouldn't vote for the rescue bill if there was ear-marks in it, then he voted for it with the ear-marks included. So far, McCain has done just the opposite of everything he said he would do. Some judgment, some leader…NOT!

Mrs. palin I bet nobody takes you seriously, After all that interview. how do you know all this you don't read newspaper…….

John McCain and Sarah Palin deserve each other - both are slimmy people. While a 90 year old woman shoots herself because she's about to have her house foreclosed and hundreds of other Americans are losing their homes and worst, these two low life "nit wits" are trying to smear and fear people in to voting for their sorry butts!!!

With the help of Almighty God, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will win this election and help put this country back together!!!

Obama/Biden 08/12

For all of you Obama Lemmings foaming at the mouth, remember, it was Barack Obama who chose to be led by Ayers, Wright, et al. It starts from the ground and goes up. Americans have a right to know what his fundamental beliefs are and why he hates America so much. McCain can stand tall for his service to this country.

McCain/Palin 2008

Both Palin and McCain are the most pathetic people I have ever seen on TV or even met in life. They are in need of some serious psychiatric intervention. Calling another person a terrorist for their own gain is more than disgusting. I don't even know how the people of Alaska could have put her in the office to run that state.

Peace and harmony for Obama/Biden 2008

I support this comment, thank you:
I thought that calling someone a terrorist with racial overtones is considered a hate crime? Why is nobody addressing this? As a citizen, I would like to know why a police officer can go on a stage that is nationally televised due to it's content and almost make a threat with no consequences? If Obama did something like this, the RNC would be all over it. The DNC needs to take this one and run it to the highest authority. I'm appalled and so is everyone I know. All of my Indy friends are decided and ready to put an end to this ridiculous pitbull and maverick crap. OBAMA/BIDEN WE WILL PREVAIL!!

Gov. Palins career is going the same place the bridge went……NOWHERE!
So now that the gloves are off lets get down to real issues that "Joe six pac" folks want to hear.

Who cares about Ayers! is Ayers a Financial terrioist? Is he the one causing the job losses, the bank problems and deregulation issues? Then why is anyone talking about Ayers. McCain's issue with Keating is far more important because McCain used his position to cause some questionable infulences and he had a personal relationship with Keating. It is almost like McCain wanted to get the Ayers story out there in case the media started pointing to the Keating S&L losses as an example of what is happening today. McCain wants to say see Obama had relations with Ayers who is like Charles Keating was to McCain. But it's just not the same. Not even close. Ayers and Obama worked on charitable educational foundations. McCain used his influence to let Charles Keating loot the Silver Dollar S&L where people (American Citizens) loss millions. I think Chales Keating was a financial terrorist who destroyed the S&L industries there are none left now.

Any honour McCain had is gone. He is an absolute disgrace. Go back to Vietnam you filthly old man!!

I'm the imbasile.. CNN. But Still I will will be here, long.-Aftter you.are sewage

McCain's map has a lot of cracks. North Carolina, Virgina, Florida,Ohio. Lose any one of them and it's all over.

you obama lovers are so pethatic not to mention retarded. If McCain were was really desparate, he would've called Obama the N word.

So the fact that he didn't just shows the stupidity in all of you people including you, Jack Cafferty you old SEA HAGG!

Like or not, McCain will win on Nov. 4th. so LIVE WITH IT!

McCain/Palin '08

So now they have decided that for McCain to look good and to be appealing to voters and to win the presidency he must be running against a terrorist.

Is there anyone who disagrees with that !!??

Well, Palin is a demon. How many schools did she attend? she is the most uninformed person and it should scare the hell out of everyone to even imagine that she can be the next president if anything happened to this hargard old man.Evil can never outshine any good. Americans have had enough of empty vessels like palin and mcain. Keep injecting lies but may it backfire on you palin and whoever the withered old man. You are also a racist palin, to even imagine that Obama does not share what you share as an American? What do you think Obama is?

Sen. John McCain: I pledge again a respectful campaign. A respectful campaign based on the issues and based on the stark differences we have on the vision for the future of America.

McCain: I've pledged to conduct a respectful campaign and I urge, time after time, various entities within the Republican party to also do that.

That is what John (I'm lying through my dentures) McCain promised. I believe that promise lasted slightly longer than the life expectancy of a Mayfly (One day)

Why isn't anybody talking about the fact that McCain cheated on his wife. He is the one launchng 'character' attacks on Obama so I think that he has made that fair game. What a hypocrite! He will say or do anything or become president.

How is Palin going to shake things up? She is not even respected. Her speeches have absolutely no substance. Ask yourself: is Palin really the best VP America has to offer?

Vote Obama/Biden 2008

Look I believe Gov. Palin is the wrong person to be putting out attach's on anyone. Maybe we should be asking her and her husband (first dude) about Joe Volgler, who Gov. Palin has praised in the past, who also would of been put on the TERRORIST WATCH LIST if he were alive, or since Palin want's to bring up Rev Wright maybe we should ask about Pastor Thomas Moothy, who in a suburb of Kenya charged an innocent woman of the crime rate going up in that area and said she was a witch and ran her out of town with a mob. See Gov. Palin there is an amazing engine called GOOGLE, you should try it next time you decide to throw stone's.

This election has shown me … I can no longer believe anything I hear on CNN…It used to be my favorite station. I've turned you off. I am only listening to the daily news. You are too liberal for me!!!

Palin/McCain campaign…….IT'S THE ECONOMY…STUPID!!!!

Please stop with dirty politics as usual…we are tired of it!!!! We need HELP, we need policy information, we need plans…not the same political games….get some different campaign leaders who advise you of this fact!!!….

As a female I am ashamed of your choice as a VP(Pit Bull w/ lipstick) …..You chose politics first over country first. Especially (sorry to say Senator McCain)since there is something to say about the possiblity that she may have to step into the presidential position. VERY SCARY.

By some slim chance that she should make it there, Sarah would like to know if the desk in the office in the west wing already has knee pads under it, or if she needs to bring her own?

It is realy a sad day here in America. There are so many clueless people. Look up your history people. I don't want any more closed minded cowboy mavericks in the white house! Look it up! A maverick is a cattel hustler. Oh for you city folk, that meens he steals his neighbors riches.
I will just keep posting CNN.

McCain/Palin 08
Total Disgrace for Republicans……..independent voter….

Idiots. Clinton carried NC in 1992.

Most of the people who want obama 08, 12 just want Obama to be pres and do not really care about the issues. Yeah, maybe there is rationalization behind those who want him to be pres in 08… but you (those who proudly proclaim obama-biden 08, 12) don't know/care about what the issues will be in 2012. You don't even know that he will be a good president. You guys are just all in love with the idea of it.

You can't stop the signal.

Obama / Biden 08′

i think she is ugly! and needs cosmetic surgery above her eyes to lift that fat above her eyes am i the only one that notice that skin hanging there,it's closing her eyes, if she was a nice person i would had not notice this. i'am sorry that i'm off base like palin.

Rezco, Ayres, Wright, ACORN, Flagger, Former Palastian employee, Farakahn. Is THIS the change you want? Why wont he release all of his college transcripts?? Why are they sealed? Why wont he release his Senor college thesis? What's he have to hide???? CNN is so pro-bama it's pathetic. You people may hate Fox News but they do not sugar coat Obama at all. He is a scary person with a lot more in mind than you might think for our country. So, go ahead call me moron, idiot, spreading lies( and if Fox News is spreading lies then why doesnt Obama sue????) oh and the ever popular calling a person a racist…so go ahead. Jokes gonna be on you come Jan 09!

The new PPP poll has Obama up by 6 in NC.

I believe NC is going blue this time!!!!!

But I'll continue to work like we are 20 points behind.

Hey McCain if you want to have any kind of dignity left after losing the Presidency put a leach on your pit bull with lipstick, or is it the other way around. I think it's to late for that now anyway, your both in the toilet!

By george, I think I've got it. The reason the media is so pro-Obama is because the media fell for everything Bush said regarding the war, hook, line and sinker. No questions asked. Then they realized they had been duped and they looked stupid. Now they are against any and all Republicans just because of their own stupidity in the first place. History does repeat itself. They are the fools again.

I met my wife in North Carolina, NC is my second home. The people there are paying attention to the issues and are not distracted by McDrama_Queen and Company. It is only fitting that the state return to its native Carolina Blue.

As for McSame, I see that the latest favor for the week is a Terrorist play and a Rev Wright move. I am so bored, I think I'll vote early.

Is that a blue Obama 'O' she is signing?

Palin has room to talk about character, let's see abusing her power as Governor to fire somebody, gay basher (prays for the conversion of homosexuals), attending 5 plus college's before graduating, anti-woman, anti-intellgence, etc. etc.

"PETTY PALIN" that is all I have to say about her!

This is dumb when you have to resort to smear and scare tactics we are worried about feeding our families paying bills health care our economy in general not hearing rehashed rhetoric on new day.Do they have a plan what does it consist of?

Since no one on the campaign trail could muster a civil tone, let me share my condolences with the Biden family, and wish them well. Palin and McCain could have done the same, and then initiate their incessant ugliness, but even showing ANY sympathy or empathy is beyond them!

If you don't vote for McCain you will hear this for the next 4 years.
PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA. Why would any true American vote for a man with Hussien in it. Think about this as well…Obama sounds to much like Osama

All Repubs need to pull together. The reall issue that no one seems to talk about is for the last few years hasn't the Dems been in control of the House and Senate….now who do we need to blame……Thought so

Vote for McCain!!!

It is so SAD to give McCain credit for what?! McCain and Palin is too busy trying to trash Obama while people are actually killing themselves and their families because of what is going on with the economy. People are losing their homes and jobs. McCain and Palin DON"T CARE!!!!!!!! That is SO SAD

mccain is desperate and flailing now. it's over folks.

Mccain should have been worried a looong time ago. Like when he announced his running mate and she smiled like the town idiot and got all 'mavericky'. Obama is not going to be able to save our economic problems because these actions from the Federal Reserve, Congress, the Bush administration times 2 and even the Clinton Admin..etc…but he will definately be a change from the last 8 years. right about now I will take anything!! Well…anything but Mcidiot and the 'Fargo' doll. Mccain should be very defensive and grit his yellow teeth as usual. He made a BIG mistake and he knows it. I am sooo hoping that this does not turn around and the pegs get pushed incorrectly (Bush election). Mccain, the past…Obama..a much needed change.

Joe Biden was right. Being a war hero does not guarantee a good president. These tactics tarnish any McCain legacy.

Sarah Sarah you make me sick!
I am women not supporting you.. on top of that I am white just like you I am supporting Obama, because he is smarter than you!

Obam 08

I can't help thinking…who is caring her newborn with special need when she is not at the same place on the same day? What will her children think of the lies that come out of their own mother’s mouth? A lot of Palin’s family members and relatives are educator and she is shouting on at the top of her lungs on things that are totally untrue. I say “Shame on you, Governor Palin. Please do your children and your relatives a favor and stop lying.”

It does not surprise me. McCain and his campaign do nothing else but continue to throw dirt, spout lies, misrepresentations, and smears. And McCain’s arrogant VP, Sarah Palin, acts like a malfunctioning robot, pitbull with lipstick, or whatever she called herself. She is just McCain’s flirting, lip-smacking, screeching toy; a puppet for the failing McCain campaign, saying whatever they pumped into her empty head. Somehow, she was able to fool Alaska but she will not fool the media and smart American voters.

I find it amazing that Senator Obama, in his speeches, always manages to somehow separate himself from the government body of which he is a part of, (i.e., it's always the government's fault or Republicans, not mine) is what he speaks. But it seems that no one else seems to pick up on that? In all fairness to Senator McCain…Senator Obama and his campaign have had it really easy just having to connect McCain to Bush and there you have it, a ready made attack ad. But, it's just not fair since McCain is not Bush so therefore, it's an unjust attack and I'd like to remind Senator Obama's campaign that for the last couple of years the Senate was and is mostly made up of Democrats so what does that tell you?

Like a punch drunk world champion who has stepped into the ring one to many times, we are now watching the death of a hero. McCain, a valiant hero who served his country as only a true patriot could, has sold his soul to the devil and has lost his last ounce of dignity. The speech he gave today was vile and disgusting, and he did it with a smile on his face. Of course he is on the defensive. His campaign went into self destruct mode the moment he chose Palin as his running mate. It is not the gloves that are coming off at Camp McCain, its the wheels. Why? Because there is no real belief in MCCain to hold it all together other that "I want to be President!"
It is only a credit to Obama that this race is still as close as it is. At any time, he could have campaigned "Chicago Style" and attacked McCain on the Keating Five, Mcain's age and mental health, CIndy McCain's drug problems, John McCain's alleged affair or the fact that Palin is under investigation by her own state. Instead he has shown an amazing calmness. A steady hand that has sometimes even frustrated his own supporters. McCain is a broken shell of the man he once was and perhaps now Obama will take the gloves off and, like a young fighter facing that punch drunk champion in the ring, will to the old man a favor put him out of his misery .

Enough is enough. Quit the attacks. Address the issues. Behave like the leader of the free world should behave.

It's pretty obvious that the Republicans are running SCARED!! Alot, of "former" red states are turning blue. Let's stick to what matters most to the American people, the ECONOMY!!

Obama/Biden 2008

Anonymous,
Seems like you've a hard time distinguishing facts from smear. Look at the platforms of both campaign before you start to throw vitriolic. The truth of the matter is that in this campaign Obama is proving to be the better candidate.

May I call you pit bull

Another audience to parade her pregnant teenager and poor little baby in front of?

Sarah is an elitist….just the other day she admitted she drank Starbucks Mocha Latte.

Does anyone care what this poser-bunny disaster even says? One day she can't read a newspaper and the next day she's lecturing to idiots? What a travesty and a circus act.

Palin is losing it for the Republicans. Everyone at work is laughing at her.We feel she is running for President and has run over McCain.IT is bad news all the way around for Republicans.What is McCain thinking-or is he???

I hate to break it to all the crazy liberals here, but this race has been in the bag for Obama for a long time. The republicans made some long term decisions in this race. They selected a 70 some year old guy to be their canidate. then they selected Palin, a small, population state, to be the running mate. Essentially they will be able in 4 or 8 years to go into these elections with a clean slate. obama will win this election, the real test will be if he wins the one four years from now.

There is no way that I would vote for someone who was a part of the S&L crisis. I remember that big mess and McCain's part and Bush part. Vote McCain? No Way!!!!

Game over, McCain. You have really lost it. Go ahead and go negative, it's all you have ever done in your entire life.

Take Barbie with you. She is a clown.

If the 28,000 who turned out for Senator Obama's rally here in Asheville, NC, is any indication, Obama will nail this state.

Remember, polls haven't included cell-phone-only users and newly registered voters.

Further, the McCain/Palin/Fox News sleaze of the past few days will backfire.

Sarah Palin is so charismatic, she is intelligent, clever and dedicated.

This is what a true feminist looks like, this is what the next vice-president looks like.

Brains+Good looks+plus intuitively one with the people….

"You will know their names and I will make them famous" - Just Another LIE!!! - Ask the senator from ALASKA - he received a lot of PORK in the so called "bail-out" bill.

Hey Bluebonnet, how much has the McCain campaign paid you to be their shill? Your words have no sincerity to them at all.

Point of diminishing returns.

They start butchering the mules, it's over.

To the Maverick dumb duo:

Palin/McCain are both idiots to think anyone cares about 40 years ago America is hurting NOW!

IT"S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin and McShame are the perfect set of NITWITS!!!! They have no clue, no plan, and have stooped to the lowest of low. Palin knows ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Obama, or about much of anything for that matter. McShame can't think of what to do about the economy and continues to show himself to be erratic, out of touch, and to have poor judgment.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!!!!!!!

Obama needs a TV ad in North Carolina revealing McCain's plan to cut Medicare 1.3 trillion dollars! This would change some votes!

Anonymous,
You say that you are "McCain's supporters and we're making sure that all these voters are educated as to how shady Mr. Obama really is!"

I wonder why you don't put your name to your statement. I was always told that if someone wrote a letter and signed "anonymous" then it was shady.

In times of desperation, go for the personal attacks! This is what the McBush campaign is teaching us. Our country has an economy in the toilet, we are spending too much on a war way over expired and our dependency on foreign energy is shameful. We can do better…but we absolutely need the leadership that understands and embraces the future needs of our country. McCain and his compadres had their chance. Time for a change of guard. Time for Obama.

It is realy a sad day here in America. There are so many clueless people. Look up your history people. I don't want any more closed minded cowboy mavericks in the white house! Look it up! A maverick is a cattel hustler. Oh for you city folk, that meens he steals his neighbors riches.

Did anybody notice how the McCaine campaign is so confident that they'll win NC? Can they be so confident to say that about the entire country?

John McCain is desperate and we all know the saying about how dangerous a desperate man can be! I wonder how so many people are not able to see through what McCain is attempting!!!

I am totally convinced that the news coverage is slanted toward favoring Obama. I have just attended a fall festival in Indiana and the Republican committee could not keep McCain/Palin yard signs in stock. As fast as they could get them delivered and put together, people were asking for them!!!! CNN, don't be surprised on election night if the silent majority steps forward once again!!! So much for your "Obama gaining bigger lead on McCain." How about checking with middle America.

McCain Campaign's decisions to unleash Sarah Palin's negative invectives against Obamas smack of desperation and will fail. Also by raising questions about Obama's past relations with Ayres, Palin also opens the door for scrutiny of her "paling' around with the Alaska Independence Party which wants to separate from the United States. In addition there are still the unexplained questions about links between both presidents Bush, the Republican Party and the Bin Laden family. The Republican under Reagan and Bush Senior funded Osama Bin Laden during the 1980s war with the Soviet Union over Afghanistan.

I can't believe Palin had an affair with her husbands former business partner. Makes sense considering McCain's track record on fidelity.

Pointing fingers and calling names is one thing. Laying out all the facts, and warts, is something else. If you want to buy spin, hype, and racial identity, that is your choice. But many of us want to see pros and cons of each candidate clearly laid out. More than eighty-five percent of blacks support Obama? Lot of good thinking going on there.

If McCain is going to shake up Washington, why did he vote to bail out a bunch of bankers?

It's clear that neither side cares to represent us.

Vote Third Party!!!

Mccain/Palin are fueling the racial hatred toward Muslims and Obama in this campaign. They are not rejecting the "terrorist" remarks recently yelled out by someone in the crown in Florida. Mccain's campaign attracts prejudicial bigots.

Bush hasn't quite destroyed the country yet. We need 4 more years of the GOP to finish the job. This is apparently what the McCain supporters are angling for.

GOP has lost the election…. THANK GOD

Enough with the fascist prohibitionist tendencies that have crippled this country over the last 8 years…

WE WANT CHANGE; WE WANT OBAMA

PS: Enjoy Troopergate Investigation, Barbie!

All the negativitity is ridiclious. On Sept 3, 2008, CBS news reporter, John Bentley, did a story about an alleged Palin affair. John McCain threatened to sue. There was an article

Country First? I think not. It is absolutely frightening where we find ourselves as a country at this moment in time. Palin attends a rally today and people are yelling "Kill him" when she references Obama. Really, how much lower can you go Gov. Palin? The McCain campaign is reckless and anything but Country First. The Maverick and Jane Six Pack need to wake up and be accountable for the hate and anti-country and anti-citizen sentiments that are spewing forth from each of them.

God Help Us All.

One by one the dominoes begin to fall,

have a nice day Senator McCain and by the way Governor Palin has used a heavy hand in Alaska.

No need to air it here but it is her demsie.

If I cannot have my way, I will use the scorched earth phylosiphy to obtain the McCainism we want.

Sarah Palin seems to have no problem lying and taking things out of context. No wonder she and McCain get along. That must be the maverick in them. She should have charges pressed against her for name calling. She says Obama is a terroist…I wonder what she and Putin having going through her kitchen window. I wonder if she likes being McCain's "go fer". He is using her and making a fool of her. When is she going to wake up? It's one thing to stretch the truth, but, to out and out lie like she and McCain are doing is childish and sickening. It is showing in the polls. People are sick of their republican games. They need to make sure their own back steps are clean before they worry about anyone else's. Kate from Becker
GO BARACK WINNER OBAMA

I can't wait to vote for Obama/Biden. This is going to be one LONG month!

The McCain-Palin campaign underestimated the intelligence of the people of North Carolina and now that Obama has a legitimate chance of winning N.C. they are going to try to scare the Tar Heel state into voting Republican. Their early presumptuousness in ignoring N.C. and its 15 electoral votes may come back to haunt them.

They both will be out of their misery on November 4th

My friends back in North Carolina will make the right decision and vote for the steady, consistent, and disciplined candidate with the best ideas to help America, Barack Obama.

McCAIN is going to McLOSE on McNOVEMBER 4th !!! and McPALIN can go back to McALASKA !!!!

THEY BOTH McSUCK !!!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008

Scared of Obama…..you cowards are the same ones who send our troops to die in a foreign land in the name of "freedom" and then turn around and give it up so easily on our own soil….

O is not a Muslim…he's a better Christian than Palin…..who bears false witness and is cruel enough to make rape victims pay for rape kits.

Sylvia, Principles like Obama's? Connections to terrorists? Connections to radical preachers? Connections to Fannie/Freddie heads? These aren't maybes. They are known facts.

Smear won't work. What's McCain thinking with his VP choice?

McCAIN is going to McLOSE on McNOVEMBER 4th !!! and McPALIN can go back to McALASKA !!!!

THEY BOTHER McSUCK !!!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008

I love how the below comment by anonymous is exactly that. Way to speak up chief.

Obama/Biden '08

smear won't work this time. What's McCain thinking about with his VP choice?

Scott in Fairfax…I'd like to know where you get your 3,000 number because I'd like to confirm it for myself.

But here's the kicker… in my family the republicans are voting democratic this year so those are negative votes McCain should have gotten but won't. Admittedly we were leaning Obama but Palin made it happen - no way, no how! (I have to admit, I miss the family debates though)

Love the early voting by the way. McCain will be a day late and a dollar short by the time he actually starts talking about the issues instead of about Barack.

Now, those battleground states like Nebraska, Texas, and North Carolina will help them win the POTUS right?

Do you Dems even research for truth? Did you know that they are investigating Obama's uh, donation practices. He seems to be getting a lot of monies from Islamic countries, Muslim organizations, and the names are a bit funny too; "Good Will" instead of Tarik Al Hussein or some such thing. Obama gets lots of money from this guy and has had to give back thousands of dollars because the Campaign governance people are now seeing how he is raising his money. By illegally accepting over the quota allowed under the Campaign laws. Look it up. Obama is not an honest person, nor does he employ honest people. Folks this guy is a Mac Daddy and he will pimp our our country so fast, it will make even your head spin.

Mccain's dignity must have died within the walls of that POW camp he was held in, because he is a complete disgrace to this nation.

@bluebonnet
McCain might have more experience but it's not the kind of experience we need right now. He has very little experience with economics (and has said as much in the past) and recently stated that the economy looked good!!
Plus you mention trust but I could never trust McCain after how he has changed since being a presidential candidate and after he picked Palin as his running mate.
You may be able to let that slide but she is scary and there is a very REAL chance that she could be president if they get elected.

Obama is the right person right now.

Why do conservatives start their comments with "I am a registered Democrat/Independant, but . . . " then show that they are hard core Republicans with everything that follows? Do they think we are not familiar with that hokey trick?
