Good job Obama….keep pressing forward and don't get too distracted by McSame and Pitiful Palin.

Good to see America is finally seeing through the sideshow of McBush/Palin. Keep going Barack and Joe, we are almost there!!

Obama/Biden '08

The more negative McCain/Palin get, the more they are going to turn undecided voters towards Obama/Biden. McCain pledged a clean, respectful campaign, and the voters know that he is damaging his credibility.
True Obama's campaign is responding in kind, but it's just that, a response.

50 year old college educated white Texan
Obama-Biden 2008

I can see it coming! It is a landslide Obama/Biden 08/12.

Welcome to the White House Obama you will be a great president

With numbers like these, I think "The Real McCain" will show up for tonight's debate. My question is which McCain will it be. The one from 2000 or 2008?

GREAT. I hope this trend continues. If what I expect to see and hear in the next few weeks will be similar to the McCain/Palin attacks, I'm next to positive this map will become ALL BLUE.

If anybody from the McCain camp is reading this message, a word from a Hockey Mom…..get that woman off the air!!!!! And you become an intellegent representative discussing your plans in detail.

Let me just tell all of the young Obama supporters out there one thing. Don't be happy with the polls. They are too close. What counts is election day. I've seen plenty of close polling before where the candidate who was losing became the winner. Please make sure you actually vote when it counts!

Competent Americans must pull together to save our country. When
we have a crisis color does not matter. We have a crisis!

Around the water cooler talk needs some fact check CNN.

Is it true that McCain is cutting Medicare?

Did he really call upper Virginians "Communists"?

Help us out fact checkers. Medicare is a huge topic that cannot be overlooked.

Thanks in advance for the updates. See you around the cooler at noon

THIS NEWS JUST MADE MY DAY! VA WILL BE BLUE ON NOV. 4

A young newly married woman was at an airport to fly to Norway and join her husband. The airline said she needed $125. for extra luggage. Through tears the woman could not make them understand that she had no more money A young well dressed man stepped forward and gave her the money she needed. She took down his name and address and promised to repay him as soon as she got to Norway….which she did. The year was 1988 and the young man was Barack Obama. Thats what kind of man he is. That man will be our next president.

Booya.

The tide is turning in the right direction for real LEADERSHIP and HOPE, McCain offers us nothing but Bush policies and Im worse off then 8 and 4 yrs ago. I tell my family we can't afford that this month, maybe next month, we shop more in discount and thrift stores, like so many Americans, we make our pennies stretch to the end of the month. McCain has no idea what its like to live paycheck to paycheck and tell his kids no not this time.

mccain and his running mate should read this and know that americans are not stupid.

a man that said he does not understand the economy is hoping to do well in the polls when the economy is number one issue is simply a dreamer.

he has almost lost all the respect that americans have for him because of the way his campaign is trying to shift the focus from the economy to other irrelevant things.

so much for someone who said he will not take the low road to the highest office in the land…

pls obama, keep speaking about the issues and your proposed plans to make america a better place.

Not to worry, McCain will prevail. When your in the cover of darkness of the voting booth, you'll have to ask yourself, "is Obama really ready?" " What has he done?" "in a time of war and economic hardship, is he really the guy we can trust". These are legitimate questions that will arise.

My friends, you don't have to ask yourself these questions with John McCain.

It's evident that our Democracy is in disgraceful shape. That Senator McCain and Obama are the presidential nominees for their respective parties shows the stupidity that has gripped our electorate. Apparently Americans aren’t smart enough for Democracy.

Intelligent Americans' intelligent choice.

Glad to hear that more minds are waking up now! All I hope is that Obama campaign is able to stick to their consistent optimism and stick to real issues. YOu are so close to victory. Do not ever peer yourself to McWar's low taste.
Obama/Biden '08

The "Fat Lady" is about to sing! 28 more days!!!

I would like to thank McCain and encourage he and Caribou Barbie to continue spreading outright lies and half truths as much as possible.

"your continued efforts in electing Barack Obama and Joe Biden are sincerely appreciated by the American people as we look forward to exiting eight years of the most corrupt and incompetent administration in the history of America"

Neo-Conservative far right fringe politics will fail as they should.

God Bless America

The economy is bad news for McBush. Regardless of what he says, McBush and other Republicans are joined at the hip to the most unpopular president in recent memory. Had these been good economic times, Obama wouldn't have stood a chance.
If this war would have been valid and successful, Obama wouldn't have stood a chance. That "the surge is working" is meaningless when you consider the real fight is with the Taliban and al-Qaeada in Afghanistan, not the late Saddam and Iraq. So the surge is meaningless, the war in Iraq was and remains unnecessary, not to mention the American people are footing the bill for a country that has a budget surplus in excess of $70 million. Even if this war in Iraq is ultimately successful, it was unnecessary.
The fact of the matter is, McBush is void of any real ideas. He is out of touch with the real day-to-day goings-on in this country. His overzealous support for the Iraq war may be due to his involvement in the Viet Nam war, but that makes him thoroughly unfit for command.

The sad part is that still so many Americans would vote GOP. You have a couple of mean-spirited liars on their ticket, one of which is largely clueless about most important issues of governance, and still nearly half the country will vote for them. It makes me think that anyone could be put up there and so long as they represented one of the major parties, nearly half the country would immediately get behind them. We need to get away from the 2 party system. Think people! Thank goodness there are enough people in the middle who will vote Obama-Biden, not perfect but oh so much better than the alternative.

Keep up the mudslinging, lies, and distortion, McCain/Palin. The more you do it, and the nastier you get, the further you fall behind. This country is FED UP with campaign tactics like yours and with your bankrupt economic policy that favors the rich. Good riddance to Bush, Cheney, and both of you—January 20 can't come fast enough!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 AND '12!!!!!

*Yells at clouds*

Whne is CNN going to report on the newest facts on Obamas' true connection to bil ayers, writing an endorsment of his book, serving on Acoran and forcing Freddie and Fannie to loosen restrictions on subprime. WHNE ARE YOU GOING TO REPORT THIS STORY??????

Your libral bias is more than evident and undermines your reporting.

Can you feel it? A change is coming!!!

Obama '08

JUST WIN BABY!

$450Million has been donated to Obama's campaign…who says you can't buy an election…

Wouldn't it be nice if that money went to help the less fortunate? No, it's nice to see it being spent on TV ads.

It's over. McCain will end up losing in a LANDSLIDE.

If Obama wins this election we will be a nation in deep do-do!

We can not afford his Plans or Lack of Experience!

We need a Leader with Experience and a Track Record!

I'm hoping after the debate Tonight folks will realize how dangerous the Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants really is!

PS McCain is NOT Bush!

McCain/Palin-08

Although these polls really don't mean anything, it's interesting to see the "shift" toward Obama.

Cnn can you just stick with the Obama and mccain?sarah palin is a non issue that you give to much limelight.We as the people see that she is not ready for the position of vp.We see that for ourselves and news on her eyes is stupid.We the people need change and times are getting bad.No bush-mccain !!!!!!!!! Go Obama/ Biden 08

I live in Marquette,MI while listening to the news on one of our local radio stations, I heard something about John McCain, a church and known clansman David Duke winning an award. Also McCain's other ties with the Klu Klux Klan because there was another name mentioned but I cannot remember it at this time. I want to know if there is any truth to this, and if so should'nt it be known to the public? To me it is just as important as Obama's aquaintence with Bill Ayers, is'nt it? Looking forward to your response,
Thank You

Ohio for Obama!!!!

ho, hum…..
another poll.

I guess I'll have to change my vote to Obama because he's polling higher….not!!
These polls don't matter.

I'm still voting for Bob Barr and not going to throw my vote away on McBama who voted FOR the bailout, to spend $1Trillion.

keep it up, john and you'll will be a great banker,you can,t fix what you created.good man bad ideas.we are not living in the1970s ,just thinking ahead like 2015 bring people together for people buy people, for people, just six pack joe, no are leader in these times.

The American people are finally waking up to the fact that the Republican party has had 8 years in power and has done more bad than good to our country. It's time for a change – A REAL CHANGE!!!

Vote Obama/Biden on November 4th – Vote to save our Country!

YES!!!!! I am so glad to see American's are starting to realize that there is too much at stake here and we have to vote for what is best for America. The first four years will be rough cleaning up the mess that the Bush administration has created. With Obama as President and after some hard work from everyone, I believe we will be back on track and living good again.

Obama – Biden 08 and 12

Great news…
Let McSame and Palsame contineu their smear campaign and Obama/ Biden will continue to work for a better future for America
Yes we can…

John McCain does not care about us or the issues.

Win at all costs. This is becoming a joke. I hope Americans don't fall for this for the third time in a row!!!

NORTH CAROLINA FOR OBAMA

I don’t want to hear 1960s-era radical Bill Ayers
I don’t want to hear Obama's pastor of 20 years at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
I want to hear is my 401 k is save, my kids can eat tomorrow is gas price falling I don’t want to hear their negative smear campaign.

All right! We're getting closer to winning! But let's not get cocky either. let's just hope that Americans vote with their brains this time.

The inevitable tidal wave will increase the Democratic majority in both houses and usher Obama/Biden into the White House. Isn't it ironic that Bush will be known as the President who presided over the end of Reagonomics with the Wall Street Bailout?

YAY! O-man's got this thing in a landslide!

john mccain is a terrorist. he has link with rebels in nicaragua to overthrow the government. john does not know what he is doing when attacking obama. he knows that he has more dirts than obama

The McCain campaign has been waged so poorly. The VP selection should have been Hutchinson and he should have stayed with the Straight-Talk Express branding. The current strategy of going so negative alienates independents even if it does thrill the base.

I think this shows that the american people are smarter than I thought. It shows that our country dosent' stand for hate and racism that the McCain campaign is trying to spread.

Only in the eyes of CNN would Obama win the black house and begin the destruction of America.

YES! Obama we stand with you.

Woo Hoo!!! It's great to see those reds turn to pink and the yellows turn to light blue. People are FINALLY starting to wake up and see that the path we've been on, led by the Red State Party, is the wrong path to be on.

Obama/Biden 08/12

Thank God people are waking up! The prospect of a McCain/Palin administration is SCARY. More and more people here in the Raleigh area of NC are realizing that a McCain presidency would be another 4 years of the same deal they've had under Bush. In the more rural areas, the religious zealots and racists will close their ears and minds to common sense and vote for the GOP.

While these polls are great news, let's not rest. We must get out and cast our votes for Obama. Don't let the strong polls suggest it's a done deal and for Obama supporters to stay home We must vote for the Change We Can Believe In! Let's own a part of it with our donations and our vote!

And people said that Obama's "50 state strategy" wouldn't work. HA! I love the fact that he chooses not to play by the pre-defined rules, and things work out better for him that way. I think this shows how an Obama presidency might be… he picks a different way to get to a better result.

Heck – He's even got Palin going to Nebraska because he thinks OMAHA will give him an Electoral Vote. Amazing!

A new poll of MN likely voters just released also shows Obama/Biden making large gains in that state.

Sarah Palin and John McCain are the best campaigner that Barack has. As long as they keep their tatics of avoiding the "straight talk" on the economy, they are doing the democrats a huge favor. Not just Obama, all democrats. This will be his legacy as well. I pity him and I think they are now trying to post up Sarah Palin for a run in 2012. This race is over and tonihgt's debate will probably confirm it.

I highly recommend for voters the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine to find out more who the real John McCain truly is. I certainly would not want him for to be our next president. With his vile temper and disrespect for men and women, McCain would bring big humiliation of USA to throughout the world and new wars with other countries. He is very dangerous and riskier because for the way he is!

In addition, he is a very angry old man with hate. John McCain doesn't play by his rules as keeping his campaign clean and honest…he has to stoop so very low to attack someone taller than he is!

I hope the dirtier Mccain/palin get the more the numbers
go up for Barack Obama.
We need to prove to them we are not the stupid people
they seem to think we are.
ENOUGH!!

I believe the american people is starting to see that it's not about black or white, it's about getting it right! We can not afford 4 more years of the same Bush policies! As for Sarah Palin, bad judgement call on McCains part!

I am proud to see that Obama's lead is widening. I was a bit disturb to hear on CNN and MSNBC last evening that John McCain's camp wants to turn the page on the economy and talk about Obama's character. That is sad that this what the election has come to. I don't like negative campaining at all…I think it destroys the real issues…however, Obama can not just be attacked on character and not respond. But, I guess since the McCain believes they can't win on the economy, they will win on character. McCain or Palin have no room to talk at all.

McCain has FAILED. His attacks are wrong! He has lost contact with the real ISSUES.

No matter what negative ads the McCain campaign produces, it the economy, war, and environment that are most on the minds of the voters (in that order). Obama has plans that clearly address each of these issues and has shown flexibility when conditions changes or new information becomes available. McCain's website contains vague plans that lack substance and he has shown his unwillingness to change positions or show openness to new solutions or ideas.

Vote Obama/Biden

Obama has ran the most impressive and exemplary Presidential Campaign in the History of America. He deserves to be POTUS.
CNN on WaPo it's reported that somebody at Palin's Rally said Kill 'em while referring to Sen.Obama, why are you guys not reporting this. Your Pro-McCain Bias is showing again!!

“The Bradley -Wilder effect” is very well alive so the reality is that Obama needs to lead by more that 7% to be ahead. McCain compaign knows it. Reporting that Obama is ahead by less than 7% is not real.

No wonder Obama is leading in Ohio. Ohio has a loophole that allows people to register and vote on the same day. So, what do you think Obama's supporter's are doing? They are taking all the homeless people (and probably some who aren't as well) and driving them to the polls so they can vote (but only taking those who will vote for Obama, other homeless are out of luck). There are no checks in place that prevent them from taking these people to multiple polling places and voting multiple times. Obama will stop at nothing to get him in power. Typical Chicago-style politics.

Will CNN allow this post? Highly unlikely.

The poll numbers are looking good. The poll on 11/4 is the one that counts. Obama and his supporters can't rest. We need to make sure that we get out the vote on November 4th. Our future depends on making sure that McCain and Palin are not put in control of our great country.

This Poll does not count.

Go Palin 08

I'm taking Nov. 5th off so I can laugh all day at the GOP.

Laugh with relief that we won't have to put up with their anti-environment, anti-blue collar, use war to get to peace, give money to the rich so it will help the poor (??!!), lie all day if it gets you elected, the I-thought-you-were-Christian, anti-immigration, anti-minoirty, anti-choice, anti-gay, anti anti anit fear-mongering, hate supporting, arrogant party.

I may start laughing early and put one less scoop of sugar in my coffee – life is sweeter already.

Obama / Biden will win because they will be able to Unite the country.
Palin is a separatist and a divider, and not qualified to run a diverse
country. It was pretty clear in Palin's "he's not like us" propoganda,
that she has an un-American agenda, of which we should be wary .
Palin will sink John McCain's ship.

If McCain does not address the issues, answer the questions, and give some concrete proposals as to how he is going to lead , tonight, but just attacks these lead will be become bigger.
McCain does nto get it, that the negative campaigning is not working. We, the voters, want to k now what he will do and how, somehting neither he nor Palin have done.

Come on Hoosiers!
Make it TRUE BLUE!
We are all behind you!

Obama 08

John McCain give us the names of the Senators that added PORK to the bailout bill.

Was the statement to" make these people famous" a political stunt?

It's funny how voters can change their core beliefs (i.e., life-long Republicans voting for a very liberal Democrat) when said Democrat spouts out buzzwords like change and judgment in spite of towing the party line for an entire career with very little bipartisan effort.

Let me know how it goes when every job in America is unionized. Seems to be working out great for the auto industry.

John McCain never should have abandoned his principals. They were why I supported him, and he needed the independent voters like me who liked straight talk. Now he's become the worst kind of politician and his running mate is a disaster. Obama didn't win my vote, McCain lost it.

It is truly fascinating to me that when the news reports the race for the White House, national polls are used as the true gauge for the election. The media is reporting the election as thought, the popular vote decides it. In this country we have an electoral college. In order to truly report the race for the White House this should basically be the primary and most emphasized way of reporting the race. It is disingenuous to keep showing just about 50/50 polls as the marker for the race. Al Gore won the popular vote but that did not secure him the White House. The national poll is basically not an indicator by ANY means of who secures the White House. I guess however, by reporting these national polls it makes the race look better for McCain and keeps the country in the belief that this is truly a close race and that we are basically split down the middle. The map above shows the true story of what is taking place.

Unless they poll every person in America, I am not too concerned with how the polls look. There are still 2 more debates and a month to go before the election. Neither side should be shouting about the polls. To me, they are by no means an exact science. They are just a guesstimate as to how things might turn out.

Okay America, please remember to teach your children not to end their sentences with the preposition "that". It may appeal to the uneducated "Joe Six Pack" part of America, but as a hiring manager I would never hire someone who couldn't speak proper english to the customers. Proper grammar and intelligence is something I expect from our leaders. I don't want another "misunderinformed" Bush clone near the White House.

Using "that and it" at the end of a sentence may be the Alaskan way, but in the rest of America we know that prepositions have no place at the end of a sentence! Most of us have already learned this lesson in grade school, but it has somehow eluded Palin.

Provide a plan to help Americans with their problems that's real and concrete . Stay out of the muck. Go Obama Biden!!

IF John McCain had any specific ideas for change and IF he'd run the "respectful" campaign he promised, maybe, just maybe your map would favor him a bit more. How could a candidate who promised a "respectful" campaign and can't even do that keep any other promises he's claiming to make? Enough, already! Obama/Biden for America!

Is it possible that we will see one candidate garner 400 electoral votes?

The GOP having to do battle in VA and NC would be comprable to Obama having to battle in NY and OR.

This is not good news for McCain/Palin, but GREAT news for Obama and the millions of people who can't wait to call him President.

The better Obama does the nastier and more devisive the McCain camp is getting.

One thing we need to remember, whoever the next president is, he will be OUR president, democrat, republican and independent. We don't need eight more years of a house devided.

Most of all, Senator McCain, be yourself. Talk from your heart and not your head. If you really believe that you are the man who can make a positive change for the future of this country (and I believe that you are), then say it. Do not have any regrets.

Maybe because McCain is being seen for what he really is: a man willing to sacrifice whatever honor he had left to win the presidency.

He and his wife insisted only months ago that we would not see any negativity from their campaign and that this campaign would be about the issues – that was obviously just another McCain lie.

mccain and palin are dangerously stupid. In their quest for power and prestige, they are encouraging the nutcases of this world to react.

On two separate occasions yesterday, at Palin's then Mccain's rally, the rabid gangs of people were whipped into a frenzy by the hate speech that the candidates were engaged in. In Palin's rally, someone yelled, "kill him" and at Mccain's rally, they yelled that the US Senator is a "terriost".

Both candidates appeared to hear this, but did nothing to discourage the language or sentiment. By their silence, they were condoning this behaviour.

Their silence was criminal. It's called inciting hate.

This election shouldn't even be close – McCain/Palin shouldn't even be in the running. This country doesn't need an angry old man and an absolute ditz running the country now – we've had that in Cheney / Bush for 8 years. What we need is thoughtful, measured and articulate leadership.

I used to have some degree of respect for McCain, but he's destroyed any faith I might have had in him with his choice of a pitifuly ill-equipped running mate and his recent negative attack ads. I imagine it's only a matter of days before he and Palin start referring to Obama's ethnicity to scare voters. Just when you thought the Republicans couldn't sink any lower . . .

What a quirky system that electoral college is…very undemocratic.

Oh well.

SIX MORE VOTES!
SIX MORE VOTES!

(said to the tune of "Four more years!"…or in the case of John McCain and the Republican party, "No more years!")

C'mon Colorado! Don't let the Union down! Show your intelligence and start leaning to the left! Hell, I'd even take Nevada! Let's take it to the House! After 2000, I think it's high-time the Republicans felt what it's like to have an election stolen from them!

Why isn’t anyone talking about McCains cowardly conduct during the Vietnam war. I was a Marine on an Intelligence gathering and Special Operations Team. There was a code of conduct that everyone in the military swore to adhere to. It was called the Military Code of Conduct and among other things stated that if captured you supply the enemy with nothing more than Name, Rank and Serial Number. All of the people from my unit who were captured never returned alive because they adhered to that Code of Conduct. McCain spilled his guts to the NVA resulting in the death of other service members and he returned alive.

Bush squeezed out that victory in New Hampshire (in 2000) mainly because Ralph Nader took several percentage points away from Al Gore – had Gore won the state he would have won the presidency (without Florida). Just underscores how EVERY vote in EVERY state counts. Go Obama!

Reptilian spokesman Holtz-Eakin stated that MaGoo and Crew will pay for the health care proposal by cutting 1.3 TRILLION dollars from Medicare.

That would be the same Medicare plan that seniors use as their “health care plan”.

That would be the same seniors that turnout to vote in percentages in the mid 70’s.

That would be the same MaGoo and Crew campaign that has now officially conceded the 2008 election.

If Obama is not ahead, he should be. He not only has more money to finance his campaign, he also has the media on his side. I feel certain that Obama will win because of the media bias, just as GW Bush won in 2000 because the media refused to publish anything negative. When Bush wanted to prove he was rougher, tougher, better than Bush I, the media ensured the first preemptive strike by refusing to publish anything not in line with attacking Iraq. Now, the media has decided that Obama will be the next President and refuse to publish anything negative about Obama. I sit and watch C Brown tout her "no-bias, no-bull" line as she drools over Obama. I see CNN report that Obama was 8 years old when Ayers committed his terrorist acts without noting that Obama was over 30 years old when his political career was launched in Ayers living room. I watch the debate analysis and count the facts scrolled along the bottom of the screen that are three to one in Obama's favor. I also know that CNN is less biased than MSNBC and the major networks are not much less biased than CNN. If anyone still believes that the voters are selecting the next President, they are very naive. This country is no longer a Democracy; it is a media-ocracy.

i have always been a cnn fan.. for as long as i can remember but i have to admit the scrutiny you are putting on obama just isnt fair.. you say you dont want the mud slinging in the campaing but yet you continue to run the ads that do just that. you play over and over again the rally's that sarah palin and mcaain are constantly mudslinging barack. . i want to hear about the economy and healthcare. and better jobs… the fact of the matter is mcain /palin startted this.. barack is only defending him self.. he is always talkingabout the situation that is going on today and that is what concerns me the most what is going on now.. not twenty years ago.. john drew first blood now he is scared now that he sees the blood.!! i think jack cafferty said it best!!!! pathetic!!! give obama the credit he is due.. this man was the under dog from day one and he has come a long way .. and i think he has did way more than anyone ever expected him todo. i commend him

New Jersey is not leaning toward Obama, We are 100% for Obama!!!!!!!!!

So now McCain needs to get out of the muck and talk about the economy even though it makes him uncomfortable.

We need a leader.

Now America has a clear choice.
1. Elect someone who cannot address the real issues of Americans and tries to deflect attention, create doubts, fear in people with some fake / baseless allegations = John McCain / Sarah Palin
2. Someone who truely understands the current situation of hard working Americans, better understanding of our Foreign relations, Economy, Energy independence, Healthcare, Education …. = Barack Obama / Joe Biden.
BARACK OBAMA / JOE BIDEN (2008)

Good news. I'm glad to hear it.

I received 5 credit card offers in the mail today. I thought there was a credit-crunch. What's up with that?

Good news, but let's not get complacent Obama supporters. Remember your vote, and the votes of everybody responding to this poll, and the vote of everybody who has never been polled, doesn't count unless you get out and cast it. Big turnout = Big win for all Americans instead of just the wealthy elites.

WAY TO GO.

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008-2012.

ALL THEIR FEAR MONGERING, SMEAR TACTICS, GUTTER POLITICS, KITCHEN SINK STRATEGY AND SHENENAGANS CANNOT CHANGE DESTINY.

YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL

Wait for 28 more days to see outcome……

Good. The qualifications for Vice-President are the same as the
qualifications for President. I would be horrified if it were Sara Palin,
since she is not qualified for either position.

Democrats 08.

Weren't they all GOP strongholds at one point. The GOP is no longer relevent to modern politics. Capitolism does not equal democracy, and it is a failed sytem when left unchecked. Generation X is getting older and wiser, and its time for us to take over our country. I have much respect for my elders, but it is time that the old white people (and i am white) step aside in this nation. Their ideas are just as old and dried up as their skin!

7 toss up states, every single one of them had voted for Bush in 2004 – some of them by wide margins.

In order to win, Obama has to win any 1 single state (he's up in all but seven).

In order for McCain to win, he has to win all 7.

This is good news. But in truth Obama will face tremendous resistance from the powers-that-be. He's going to need a landslide, and a new congress, in order to actually accomplish what absolutely NEEDS to be done to fix this mess that the republican party has gotten us into. Obama needs to win all 7 states, and maybe even a surprise win in one of the deep red states: Indiana, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisianna, South Dakota, Montana, or Arkansas…

Can't let up just because things look a little better. We MUST win this one BIG if we are going to change something… rather than just get mired into the process.

WAY TO GO.

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008-2012.

ALL THEIR FEAR MONGERING, SMEAR TACTICS, GUTTER POLITICS, KITCHEN SINK STRATEGY AND SHENENAGANS CANNOT CHANGE DESTINY.

YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL.

Senator McCain, please give the American people a plan for:

creating new jobs for the future,
lowering taxes,
educating and retraining the workforce of the future,
providing clean energy,
rewarding saving,
encouraging independence,
staying free.

Positive changes for the future. Give the American people hope. Let them know that they are the greatest. It is because of the American people that we will be okay.

With McCain's choice of Palin, his refusal to specifically speak to the issues, his erratic and bullyish demeaner and his very real health issues, even die-hard Republicans sense the writing is on the wall. Any reasonable human being with even a tad of objectivity and intelligence can't seriously imagine a world with Sarah Palin as commander in cheif of the most powerful and aggressive country in the world. With his choice of Palin, McCain has single handedly turned, what could be the most important presidential election in our history, to an episode of American idle!

Aside from a major flub on behalf of the Obama/Biden campaign, I think the fat lady is starting to warm up her vocal chords.

"New Obama Gains In Battleground States"? What is news worthy about that? I thought that was what one was supposed to do to win an election. Maybe it would be news worthy if someone told McCain and Obama that going negative is not the way to endear themselves to the voting public at a time when we are going down the toilet.

Good news for the new president Obama
I can put something in Palin's mouth to make her stop talking.

Omama/Biden08

The election's over – but the Democrats should not get complacent – get to the polls and vote these mudslingers out.

Obama and McCain have really been working the people in this election. I must say I'm really not happy with the way it has gone but it's our process nonetheless.
This years election process was waaay too long. Hopefully they will look into changing the amount of time to campaign and then vote to less than 12 months.

The more negative McCain goes, the higher Obamas poll numbers become. Negative campaigning will nto work this time…ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Finally, people are coming to their senses.

WAY TO GO.

OBAMA / BIDEN 2008-2016.

ALL THEIR FEAR MONGERING , SMEAR TACTICS, GUTTER POLITICS AND SHENENAGANS CANNOT CHANGE DESTINY.

IT"S OUR TIME.

YES WE CAN AND WE WILL.

I am a minority in this country.

I would like to know if anyone is going to take any kind of action towards McCain/Palin and the so called cop for their racist remarks?
Is the democratic party going to do anything about it? A cop at a rally with kids around, whose job is the serve and protect the citizens, what is he trying to teach these your kids, that it is ok to be RACIST?

Going negititve can help bring down your oppenants numbers, but can it really raise yours up? McCain/Palin at there best was never higher then 48% in any national poll and that was short lived.

How can a woman who had everyone complaining about the debate and getting the moderator and Biden to take it easy on her now wanting to take the gloves off.

Does she now the troopergate report is due Friday? First Dude is answering questions via the fax machine (what no flights to Alaska during weekdays?).

Atleast she stopped misquoting starbucks coffee cups.

I think that NC will go blue. With our large, probably underpolled, university enrollment and early voting that will encourage the young to get out the vote, we should go toward Obama. Some polls have him up 51-45, a six point lead. We will do our best to deliver the 15 electoral college votes on Nov 4!

Do not get complacent democrats you must go to the polls on Nov. 4th and make the statement there and send these inbreeds back to the forest where they belong!

With McCain losing or tied in nearly all the swing states plus tied in some red states he now has to resort to yet another hail mary-
fear / smear swift boat tactics.
That boat won't float.
Not this time.

I predict a LANDSLIDE for Sen. Obama! Can you say Wipe Out?

Palin is turning off the American public. We see through her.

On November 4th America is going to tell the world that hate mongering does not work with the majority of us. Hate mongering and divisive racist tactics don't work here anymore.

Well I see that John McCain and the Republican Party have unleashed the 527's. I had been wondering where they were hiding. If this is not CLEAR AND DECISIVE evidence that John McCain DOES NOT represent change I don't know what is. I really had hope that this type of garbage would NOT be a part of this presidential campaign but alas — thanks for the disappointment John.

This is also CLEAR AND DECISIVE evidence that John McCain and George Bush are ONE IN THE SAME as John McCain is using George Bush's playbook. It only proves that a vote for McCain is a vote for a 3rd George Bush term.

While the rest of us, general, average go to work, take care of the family people struggle, John McCain and his array of 527's will blast the airwaves with enough garbage to fill the NYC landfill and then some. As has been said before:

"IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID"!!!!!! Get a grip John and focus on what people want to hear about. I don't care about 10 years ago I care about YOUR plan to fix our devastated economy, bring this nation back into a positive standing in the world and usher in a new era of government (and you can skip the ear marks cutting line since you just added 150 million in earmarks to the bailout). We the people want to hear about the issues that WE care about not the issues YOU want us to care about. Remember, WE are the boss, you are just the hired help we hire to run the country.

If I really want change — how can I vote for someone still playing the same old games that I have been SICK AND TIRED of seeing for the past two election cycles?

—-The Last Independent

Just FYI, in 2004 Kerry was suppose to win in a landslide according to "polls", and we all know the end result. So plesae don't jump up and down until the results are revealed on Nov. 5th.

You know —– you can still like Hillary and like Obama too. No matter what the circumstances, Obama is the Democratic Nominee. If you like Hillary, you should vote Obama. There is no way Hillary would get a Presidential Appointment under a Republican administration.

P.S. Saxby Chambliss is

McCain and babyboomer Palin keep on attacking Obama but their numbers are sagging. ('Gutter' politics is pushing them into the gutter)

Dumb and Dumber will not get it and resort to something constructive

If McCain loses, I wonder if Sarah and Todd will push for Alaska to secede from the US.

Obama has to win only one state of the toss-ups. I see him favored in VA, CO and NV. A sweep for Obama is less of a stretch than a sweep for McCain, and that's the only option the Arizona senator has.
After eight long years, time to party on November 4th!

The euphoria over McCain's VP pick lasted some two weeks. Now, more than 50% of Americans believe that Palin is not qualified to handle the presidency, should that need ever arise.

After election, McCain will blame his loss on his bad judgement for the VP pick.

I want McCain to STOP the negative campaigning and focus on the issues.

I worry about Indiana. There must not be any retirees there who realize that McCain's plan to pay for adding 5 million to his health care plan requires over a $1 trillion reduction in medicare. It appears that Florida has begin to see the light.

PLEASE REGISTER TO VOTE,No matter whom you support.

This is one of the most important elections of your life.

Go Obama/Biden, don't let McCain/Palin lie their way into the Whitehouse.

Obama is gaining because he is talking ISSUES. All McCain and the pittbull can do is the below the belt attacks. Too bad the pittbull doesn't discuss her investigation in Alaska. Too bad a SITTING Gov. and her hubby the "Co Govenor" refused to answer to LEGAL legislative supeonas. Another Cheney and Rove in the wings, who thumb their noses at the law. AGAIN.

It's all over but the outrageous and futile personal attacks.

GOOD , Maybe this nation is wakeing up.!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Obama Go!!!! I wish the election were tomorrow so we could begin to free ourselves of the disease we have had to live with for the past eight years!!! May you find strength, courage, and energy to proceed as you near the finish line, and may God see you get there safely.

The McCain campaign attacks on Obama play right into Obama's campaign plans.

McCain has no plan on the economy. He can't answer a question about the economy with a coherent sentence. I'm sorry, but he's old, his brain just doesn't work as well as it did 8 years ago. You know I'm right.

Go Obama/Biden, don't let McCain lie his way into the WhiteHouse

McCain was on the board of right wing pro-Nazi anti-semitic and racist group for 5 years between 1981-1968. CNN why are you silent on this? McCain's pro-Nazi group advocated for the killing of Jews!

And CNN's estimate of Obama's status is a very conservative one!

No wonder, McCain in his power-hungry quest for the White House has gone 100% negative and uses lies, distortions and innuendos to smear Senator Obama. Let's hope the American public is smarter this time and doesn't let these standard Neo-con Republican political techniques distract them from the real issues of the economy and the war.

By his own words, McCain knows that what he is doing in his smear campaign is morally wrong and insulting to the electorate…but when it really is "McCain First, not "America First", the "Straight Talk Express" winds up with four flat tires.

I hope that the recent racist attacks from Sarah Palin does not sway voters in battleground states. I know most of the people aren't fools but then again we know that negative campaigns have worked in the past.

EVERYTHING is bad news for McCain. Now he's stooping to low blows and smears and hateful rants.

Same old politics, same old McCain. Vote for Change.

I think he was doing better bfore he did the Palin gimmick

The republicians need to get a grip and realize they are going to loose.

McCain with his negative campaign because he cannot ficus
on the issues, and Palin that lies every time she opens her mouth.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Obama has a substantial lead in Virginia, if he carries that its over for McCain.

Palin doesn't realize it but she's being thrown under the bus by the McCain campaign. They know she has no future in national politics – not 2012, not 2016, not ever. So they are having her speak to ardent red state supporters and offer up nothing more than vile lies. After 28 more days of this the US pubic will be so sick of her and so untrusting that we will all be happy when she disappears from the national scene.

I can't believe the media is equating Obama's attacks with McCain's attacks.

McCain's attacks: Obama is friends with terrorists and is dishonorable and dangerous for our troops.

Obama's attacks: McCain was involved in a scandal that he is on record as having been involved in, and his recent erratic behavior shows that he has erratic behavior. Which has already been documented through McCain's years in the Senate.

McCain's attacks: Lies
Obama's attacks: Truth, and only brought up after the false lying attacks
Media narrative: Both campaigns are "going negative" and both campaigns are in error.

What a load of BS.

I really did not start out as a Obama supporter, then John McCain started his drive for the right, then he spoke, then he made his first Presidental decision with long lasting effects and picked a running mate. Since then he has gone down hill at a rapidly increasing pace. I can not and will not support McCain in this election, Veteran or not it has nothing to do with the issues at hand, and neither does John.

Well duh! When you have Palin/McCain slinging lies and slime across the whole country! When you have people in your rallies calling the oponent a terrorist and yelling "Kill Him" then yeah I think you are spewing hate in your speeches! Palin/McCain are dividing this country even more with their hate speeches and we don't need any more of this in our leadership! GO AWAY!!!

Obama should carry the election. McCain is out of touch with
the current situation. Palin was a wrong selection for VP.
This is the 1st time I vote democratic.

I am confident that Obama will land a shocker in North Carolina. Elizabeth Dole (Rep.) will likely lose her senate seat also. The number of newly registered voters and enthusiasm will change the electoral map. As a republican, I see real trouble for the GOP. This stint of personal attack ads will likely push the map further in Obama's column. Thanks to Hillary, many in the US have heard all these attacks before.

Thank you, Gov. Palin!

Senator McCain appears to be confused, desperate and angry at times. He seems to be out of touch with average folks and their concerns and appears to be thinking of himself. Senator Obama on the other hand connects with people and makes clear his plan to help turn our country around. I support and will vote for senator Obama to be our next president of the United States.

Enfield, New Hampshire

McCain/Palin have inept capabilities and inane behavior. They have nothing to say so they say anything. This ticket is a unfortunate representation of a major American political party. Reading off of note cards, winking and unbecoming personal attack behavior just won't do it.

McCain should just end this now and drop out. Save us all the time and just announce Obama the winner now. Do it for our Country!

My dream come true will be when MSM predicts an Obama win on election night then has this century's version of "Dewey defeats Truman" headlines, only to find out that the American people have rejected Barack Obama.

That's when I go to New York City with a poster of the 'middle finger' and walk outside your offices all day laughing at the top of my lungs.

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, and so do I.

Barack Obama does not possess the 'content of character' to get my vote.

McCain/Plain '08

This shows Americans are well aware of our economic distress and no amount of negative campaigning will deter us from the real issues.

John McCain's poor judgment on the war, his poor judgement on his vice presidential pick and his poor judgment which resulted in the Keating 5 scandal are too many to entrust him with this country's future.

America will vote for the change that we need to carry us through this very rocky road – Obama & Biden.

from newsreports (WaPo) yesterday …Palin's rally….wow….very sick.

"……Worse, Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy." …."

For an Obama supporter this is fine news. Best not to take anything for granted, however. Palin/McCain are about to become nastier than ever and one never knows how negativity will play with the electorate.

Thank you New Hampshire. McCain and Palin better realize that America does not want to hear trash and smears. We want to discuss the issues that are facing all of us. I know many people who have tuned out the Republicans because they refuse to have a decent campaign and discuss what is important.

We certainly cannot afford another term of the worst government we've had so far in our history. We certainly must come up as adults and decide what it's best for us, and know who's who, and what's what.
We must come to term and stop sending our children to a war that has no meaning and is depleting our economic resources. We are all facing the worst economic crisis of our lifetime as a result of bad leadership, and an unregulated system that favors the rich. We must and should take our own responsibility of our future, not let the same group keep governing against all of us, the Joes-six-pack of America, and we must not let them fool us, pretending to be one of us, when they are all Wall Streeters.

One more thing-the heartlessness of these two is stunning: first, Palin reacts with smiles and a topic change after Biden tells of the loss of his first wife in a car accident (did she even bother to listen to him?) and then neither of them can even acknowledge on the stump the death of Biden's mother-in-law this weekend. They have lost their humanity in their desire for power.

I wasn't as excited about the Aussie elections last year as I am about the US elections this year – what happens in America really effects us and the rest of the world

- when your economy does down the toilet, so does ours… only it drains in the opposite direction

Looking forward to the Debate, hope both candidates don't spend too much time trying to tear each other down and focus on the Economy

It will be interesting to see how much shift McCain/Palin will get from the untrue character attacks on Obama. We need a president with a plan for our economic meltdown and an exit strategy for the unnecessary war in Iraq. McCain has neither. I wonder if voters will forget these issues and buy into false attack and fear.

I whole heartedly support OBAMA to be the next president of America.

Here is how change looks like!

Woo hoo!! It just keeps getting better and better!! We are going to crush McCain come November!!! YEA!!!!!!!!!

I wish McCain and Palin would do two things: stop attacking, and start telling the truth about what they would do for the US. It's becoming obvious that they either have no plan, or don't care to share it. And these attacks seem to be driving people away from them. I will be voting Democratic, but I cringe every time I turn on the TV because I am so tired of the lies, manipulative language, and smirks from the Republican candidates. McCain reads an attack line, looks down, and smiles before his partisan audience even reacts. They are preaching to the choir, and turning off everyone else big time. If this is how they expect to win, they are in for a rude awakening…it's not working. McCain in April promised a clean campaign about issues…he is not even close to providing that sort of leadership for his camp…he chose a pit bull, and now will be complaining tonight because the dirty tactics are backfiring. We don't trust or like Palin, and we are rapidly losing respect for McCain. Nice job.

The map will get bluer and bluer the closer we get to the election as more and more people finally wake up tothe fact that Obama is the leader for next 4 years. Sara Palin will make sure that the undecided voter has a clear choice. With all the lies and slander she is spouting it makes the decision a whole lot easier.

We will see if the polls are right. They are right 100% of the time.

"Why the Democratic Party keeps sealed the following.(Unprecedented about Presidential candidate)
1-Certified copy of his birth certificate.
2-Record of Baptism.
3-Parents marriage certificate.
4-Selective Service registration.
5-Locations and names of all half -siblings and step-mothers.
6-Acces to his grandmother.
7-Medical records.
8-Columbia college records,and thesis papers.
9-Harvard college records.
10-Illinois State records.
11-Trips outside US before 2007."

Thank goodness the American people are not falling for McCain's desperate measures to defame Obama! It is a sad thing to see such an formerly honorable man resort to such tactics. Fortunately most people are able to see through the "swift boating" tactics; anything to distract from talking about what's really important!

As McCain increases his attack ads on Obama's character, Americans have seen this as a lack of character on McCains part. You don't see many of the republican candidates stumping for McCain. They felt betrayed when he picked the dim bulb from Alaska. Even his own party has found some of his decisions and practices deplorable. And Caribou Barbie, what can we say about someone who cannot answer a direct question without making you cringe due to stupidity and a lack of any form of leadership and knowledge of the issues. If you look at the crowds that are gathering for the Republicans, they are all white, christian zealots, and definitely "NOT" a portrait of America. Maybe McCain and Barbie could be president and vice president of Alaska.

I think with our economy going down hill, it's only best to place a Dem. in the White House so that we can regain our economy back as well as our respect around the world. The Rep. have done enough damage and yes it's time for a change. I have made up my mind on who I will vote for and there is nothing McCain can say to me going forward that would change my vote.

With the verdict "true" about John MCcain about the Keatingeconomics.com, Obama's poll numbers will be sky rocketing!!! Mccain/Palin both made a huge mistake bringing up old stories, and this one hits home in today's economic crisis!!! Thanks but no thanks! Mccain/Palin are going on a bridge to nowhere!

Anyone heard Lieberman talking about how God will help Palin win, hope it's not the same God that helped him loose in 2000.
Pathetic soul.

Google "McCain Iran-Contra". It seems Johnny boy has ties with this scandal, too.

wtg. look at rcp!!!!
Results without Toss-Ups!:
Obama leads by 190(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) points. He can lose some of the battlegrounds and still win in a landslide.
Remember, 190 points lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama/Biden in a landslide;)

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McWar is a desperate old man willing to say or do anything to get elected, no matter what damage it does to our country. McWar is a divider and his kook sidekick is unqualified for the job he has selected her for.

John McCain's campaign's decision to go negative is the dumbest political move ever. It really begs the question how smart these so called strategists are, and more importantly, whether McCain has any solutions in the wake of an economic crisis. This truly speaks to McCain's lack of judgment and character. He has previously condemned (and there is video evidence) smear politics and said only those who don't have true solutions engage in personal attacks. McCain's inability to stick to his principles when things got tough, says to me that he'll be a puppet in the White House and at the mercy of his advisors. His poll numbers will be even worse next week.

As always, polls are meaningless, there's no way they can reflect the true thinking of ALL voting Americans. The sample they choose will always be too small or too weighted one way or the other.

The only poll that matters will be the one on November 4, and there's still a very good chance that McCain will win that one.

As long as Sen. Obama continues to address the issues while Sen. McCain continues to attack out of what appears to be desperation, Sen Obama will continue to gain in popularity and in the polls. Sen. McCain is creating a self fufilling prophecy of defeat. Gov. Palin is doing nothing to help by spouting yesterday;s accusations that were proven inaccurate then, and reflects a lack of knowledge on her part. Sitting on the sidelines it's like watching someone throw gasoline on a house fire. You know it's not the smartest thing in the world, but you can't help but to watch it. Sen Obama is doing exactly what he needs to do to win it all in 28 days. My deepest condolences go out to Sen. and Mrs Biden.

Wow, this election may end up not being close at all. In fact, we might end up knowing who the new President is by 10:30pm EST. Way before the polls close on the west coast.

Sorry Sen McCain but I am now going to vote for Obama. With your fumbling Palin pick and the events of the past two weeks, I am truly convinced that you really don't have much to offer.

I cannot understand people wanting to vote for an angry black man; just look at his facial expressions!

if you do the math, mccain could win all of the battleground states but one, such as va for example, and he'd still lose.

its no wonder he's campaigning out of desperation at this point.

I think the McPalin camp has been looking at the same polling data. That would explain their desperate and below the belly attacks on Obama. The hand writing is on the wall for a big win by the Obama camp, and fear and desperation has taken over McPalin.

Now is time to turn up the heat Obama. Do not relax and go into a prevent defense. Keep the heat on McCain let everyone else respond to the attacks and stay focused on the issues.

Not so fast! Typically, one candidate will get a bump about a month before the election, only to have an "October Surprise" hit them. More info is hitting the voters about the Democrats' involvement in the housing crisis – the CDA, the Republican's stance in 2003 and 2005, the donations, and the former Fannie Mae execs working on the Obama team – look for that to bubble up within the next few days. I have received a LOT of e-mail traffic about it over the past few days, and I am a DEM!! My advice to the media is to get it on the table NOW – waiting for a week will only hurt.

Obama should be gaining more ground because he looks more Presidential than McInsane. Senator McInsane and his hinchmen and hinchwoman look more and more like criminals. He said at the beginning of his campaign that he would run a clean campaign. I guess he forgot to add "unless he's losing miserably and doesn't have a snowball chance in hell of winning this election."

Shame on you McInsane and Governor Fakelin for dishonoring God by acting like animals. I thought you two were supposed to be God fearing people. You are hypocrites and God will judge you for your sins against Barack Obama. You keep putting your mouths on Obama by demeaning him and slandering his good name and character. You will reap what you sow and the end result will be your LOSS on November 4, 2008 when Barack Hussein Obama becomes President of the United States.

Obama/Biden 08-12

I just read all the commentary on the next topic. I think it is a fair sampling of the American people. There are about 500 comments there. I trust that CNN is putting comments up as they come in fairly. The majority are for Obama, otherwise we would see more for McCain. And most of the McCain comments truly lack substance just like his campaign.

Obviously, McSame and McBarbie appeal only to those voters who cannot think for themselves. We would probably see more of them, because they are just as swift boat inclined as the McCain Camp. I suspect most of them are either listening to Rush Limbaugh or tuned into FOX News.

There is no fairness with their ilk or commonsense, merely hate. And that is where the McCain camp is headed with Palin in the lead. Perhaps she should return to Alaska and have another exorcism for demons. She sounds possessed of late… .along with McCain, who appears to have sold his soul to the Devil!

McCain's stunt of choosing Palin as a running mate have blown up in his face.

He has counted on the ignorance of the American people, especially white women across America, to NOT see through his gimmick of choosing a woman to try and secure the votes of woman across the country.

Hey Johnny, we are no longer drinking the Kool-Aid.

Mccain is a Liar that is why everyday he is sliping in the polls and No matter what lies he puts out about Obama he is getting votes by the day while old mcbush is losing them Obama Biden the only choice in this election

Senator Obama will not win Indiana, but hopefully he'll win the remaining swing states.
Wonder how many times John McCain will use P.O.W. in tonights debate?
I think his "Maverick" line was pretty much put away by Joe Biden in last weeks VP debate.
Anyway, our country is too important and in too dire straits to hand it over to John McCain and his uneducated Sara Palin.
Putting our Country First means voting for Obama-Biden.

This poor ignorant McCain is not smart enough to realize that the nastier he gets the worse he will lose. All he is now doing is preaching to the base; no one else will listen to this trash. He is a disgrace to the uniform he once wore; he has no honor and we will not forgive him.

Barack started the negative campaigning….
and he's got some bump out of it….
let's see where it ends.

The more and more the McCain camp goes negative the more thhey push Obama up in the polls. They have no one to blame for this except for themselves. I can't wait until Obama destroys McCain tonight and puts him out of his misery.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Why would Obama bring up the keiting scandal where 5 democrat senators were accused of criminal charges and Mccain was the only one republican and was also the only one who was vindicated?

Did Obama think that by tearing out a slice of this scandal and paint some lipstick lies on it, he can fool voters into not seeing that this was a Democrat scandal?

I guess desperation makes people do stupid things.

If you republicans knew just how bad the RNC, mccain and palin are lying to you and have played you regarding Obama you would be horrified. If your interested do your own research. go to this independent website stopthesmears.com or do your own research and find out the truth for yourselves and see just how horribly you've been lied to. It will turn your stomach. I know some don't want to hear the truth and that is fine but there are some enlightened people out there.

I have been a registered Repulican for more than 40 years. Most of that time, I voted along party lines. Yesterday, I changed my registration to Democrat. Why? Sarah Palin. It is one thing to be arrogant, but the combination of arrogance and lack of knowledge and understanding pushed me over the top. As a former Republican, I have to ask the Party is she the best you have? If so, your party is in serious trouble.

It is clear as crystal that the McSame/Failin' gang cannot win this election honestly. The key now is for voters to base their votes on substance, integrity and hope and NOT to be swayed by the FAILIN' SCARE tactics which are the way of people who are bankrupt and hopeless.

As a retired military combat soldier of Desert Storm and one that has service over twenty-three years of honorable service that has voted for President Regan, President Bush Sir and President Clinton, who all did a great job while in office. However, when it comes to this election I felt that John McCain and Sarah Palin has continue to resort to negative comments about Obama that are just not true. As a soldier I believe my leaders should be held to the highest standards and should display Loyalty, Respect, and Integrity for all no matter what the cost. I felt John McCain has lost all respect by allow Sarah Palin to make statement about Osama’s, loyalty to this great nation when she has issues of Loyalty and Respect herself with the people of Alaska. A soldier does not act like this especially one that was on the receiving end of torture as a POW because he knows how it feels to be disrespected when you have not done anything wrong to desire it. Therefore, I felt that John McCain should have stayed with the issues and ran a respectful campaign without result to a shameless display of disrespectful tactics.

Ayers and Rev. Wright were exerting a right we have in America called 'Freedom of Speech". Todd Palin joined a group that wants to start their own nation. There's a big difference! Add that with the economy and you see a nation finally waking up! I don't really care that Palin goes to a witch doctor, in America we have that choice. However, I don't feel that someone who goes to a witchdoctor is stable enough to be in the number 2 spot.
When it comes to mcCain vs Obama the choice is easy. Obama is intelligent – McCain obviously is not (just look at the mess is campaign is in, not learning his lesson from the Keating 5 mess), etc. etc, etc.
Vote for the smart man with one house – we don't need another less than intelligent, richer than the rich man in the white house for another four years.
OH YEAH! We know what Obama's middle name is – what a lame argument. My mother's name is Lizzie – you know like Lizzie Borden? That doesn't make her a murderer.

Since Obama is the only one focusing on the economy, this may be a cake walk. It's pretty sad when all McCain has left to argue is smears, race baiting and lies.

They say you reap what you sow. I think the Mc Cain campaign is feeling the agony of some bad decision making and devastating karma. With the economy struggling so bad right now-the Republicans are desperate situation backed up deep in their own territory.

Everyone one should double check to make sure their voting information is correct before time runs out!

I think some shady business is going on. I checked my information on line and some of it was changed and incorrect. I know I'm not the only one. YES WE CAN!

Good luck people

That's because voters are finally starting to see what the GOP has become and how far they've strayed from the dignified party they once were.. GW has lowered the standard so badly and McCain/Palin are just reinforcing the fact that the Repubs need to do a LOT of cleaning house before any person in their right mind would re-elect them.

Obama/Biden 2008 by a landslide

I pray that Obama sustains his lead and wins.

I saw the footage of Sarah Palin and her mean-spirited speech about Barack and I heard people in the crowd yelling "Kill him!"

Tnis is just beyond the pale. This woman calls herself a Christian? If she's a Christian then I'm the Queen of Egypt.

If McCain/Palin get in the White House we are doomed.

Case in point. Americans are tired of the old "it's my way or the highway" negativity that has prevailed in the White House for the past eight years as is just continuing with the McCain Palin ticket. Our economy is going to hell in a hand basket. After 6 years, the war in Iraq is still waging and the Republicans have absolutely nothing to offer but "swift boat" tacts.

McCain has turned into one angry, bitter, self-absorbed old man.

When you have no record of your own to run on, no answers, no solutions, ideas or plans to beging to get the country and the economy back on its feet, the only alternative is to LIE, DISTORT, ACCUSE and ATTACK and hope taht the American people are ignorant enough to believe it.

McCain and Palin ahve finally been exposed for who they really are and will pay dearly in November.

1. Why is the news not discussing Palin's ( and her husband's) refusal to appear in court even after the judge upheld the subpoenas? This is not Joe-six pack, she is like me, folksy – all the things that Sarah tries to portray. More importantly, if as she espouses – she has nothing to hide – she should want this issue settled before voting day. Also, I as a voter want to know her actions as she is potentially the VP or the President – is guilty of the charges against her before she becomes elected and can claim a Cheney-executive privilege failure to follow the law.

2. The charges she suggests from the stump against Obama should create another lawsuit for defamation of character-basically planting the seed that he is a terrorist as evidenced by the crowds comments.

This is well beyond the negative campaigning.

Obama's steady gain in the polls explains the McCain campaign strategy to question his patriotism and attempt to link Obama to anything negative. Mr. Ayers was a 1960's radical and Obama was a small 8 year old little boy. McCalin, that's such a sick stretch for you.

McCain is dead-on-arrival on the issues and he made the worst choice in the history of this country for a VP running mate. Rather than campaign as a man of honor would campaign, he can't so he does what he does best: resort to lies. Even worse is he seems to derive pleasure in doing so. Only a sad little man would do that and McCain certainly fits that definition.

vote Obama-Biden, mccain-palin keep reaching in their bag of tricks, but all they can seem to come up with is more garbage.

Palin and McCain are pretty brave to throw stones when there are plenty of bricks that can be thrown right back. Good luck with that one.

I was a republican until 8 years ago. I changed my party because I knew Bush was a gamble. If the Republicans were counting on people like me to come back to the party why are they playing to lose. McCains pick of Shara Palin, the running back to Washington to single handily fix our economy and now calling Obama a terrorist. Stop, all we want and need is someone that's going change the direction that our country has been led down. We can not afford 8 more years of the same.

This is the nastiest, name calling presidential race ever. It is more bashing than talking about issues.

We're getting tired of both candidiates.

mcnn get a clue, your polls mean nothing……….

we need to see the real polls

other polls
cnn is desperate adn will say and do anything to make it "the best news team,"

jajajaj

Please America, wake up. Every single VOTE counts! Obama has played fair game throughout this election. The talks about the issues that you and I face on a daily basis.

I am so disgusted with the tactics of McCain/Palin. From what I see, greed is making them do anything to get into the White House to the point of bringing RACE into the picture. I am a minority and it hurts to see two officials being discriminatory towards other cultures. If this is his behavior, how is he going to face other senior officials from other countries if he was to be a president. Is he going to be as arrogant as he is, we have seen it during the debate, he would not even look at Obama's face during the debate…the respect we once had with the rest of the world is gone…we need someone who is civilized…

Americains should be proud to have a bright young man runnin for president.who is liked 75% worldwide.

Why? Because Obama has vision, dignity, a compelling leadership presence and is ripe with potential in the JFK and Clinton tradition. It doesn't hurt to have him running against an ill-tempered geezer who, according to Congress itself, has used "poor judgement."

Barack will likely carry Georgia. Our Republican governor is not making friends, and nobody seems to care that we can't get gas. Throw out the rascals and put new rascals in, and in four years throw them out too. A plague on both your houses.

GOOD! I don't think American want to hear about what happened with Obama was 8. I sure don't.

McCain linked to private group in Iran-Contra case

The U.S. Council for World Freedom was part of an international organization linked to former Nazi collaborators and ultra-right-wing death squads in Central America. The group was dedicated to stamping out communism around the globe.

Keep'em coming! Change is coming and it's not just a slogan. Obama is changing McCain's red to blue and it's going to happen even faster after this next debate. McLame can keep attacking Obama directly instead of telling this country what he will do to help our economy but since he has NO plan to do that, all he can do is these lame @55 attacks that are failin like Palin. Obama is going to win in a landslide, watch what I tell you.

McCain linked to private group in Iran-Contra case

Here's where Sarah Palin is the biggest liability. She can't do interviews. Unlike Joe Biden she is unable to become the daily news in the States, Counties, and Cities of America. People are going to notice that Palin stumped in there town, but was too big to talk to the local reporters. That's not very folksy of you Palin. Not very folksy at all.

If Americans vote for McCain, a man who has chosen to win at any cost even if it means resorting to outright lies, slanderous, outrageous attacks and racist slurs than they are voting for the leader they deserve! These Americans are without a doubt the hard line Republicans who would even vote for Bush again regardless of the damage it will bring upon their Nation, rather than change party loyalties! Given the comments from around the World before and after the economic disaster, if Republicans win this election America won't have a friend in the World except for their fair weather Iraq who will never cut off the hand that is feeding them! Hopefully these loyal Republicans will wake up before it's too late and before they don't have a prayer!

This is terrific news, but the poll that counts is Nov. 4th. Please keep working hard and don't get cocky.
Has anyone noticed that Palin is now refering to herself as "the vice-president"?

COME ON FELLOW HOOSIERS!!

WE ARE ALREADY A "BLUE NATION"WITH THE COLTS HERE!

WITH ALL THE JOBS WE HAVE LOST….LETS GO "BLUE FOR OBAMA" TOO!!!!

Hey Sarah do you believe you are qualified to be VP? "Uh well no, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night."
John, what does being president mean to you? " Well I've done my time both as a POW and member of Congress… and I deserve my prize!"

YES YES YES!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08

Living in the Cincinnati suburbs, there is a huge difference with four years ago. At that time Bush yard signs and bumper stickers vastly outnumbered Kerrry ones – by a factor of at least five to one. Now, Obama signs and stickers are most definitely in the majority.
Last time our church had a voter registration drive and a huge promotion for "Vote your values". Neither of these has been true and, whilst the church is still wildly Republican (unlike me!), I think far, far fewer will vote this year.

President Obama & Vice President Biden on November 5, 2008. Bank on it.

Take note John McCain…All you had to do is be cool, calm, honest, lay out your plas to America and work hard to win America's trust like Barack Obama did. The work is surely paying off !

Great whiteboard in the sky:

Indiana
Indiana
Indiana

We will do it! Yes, we can!

Hoosiers haven't seen presidential campaigning in over 40 years. Obama (along with Michelle, Hillary, Bill, Chelsea and a flurry of other surragates) crisscrossed the state before our May 6 primary. Obama has more than 30 campaign offices in the state.

McCain is Johnny-come-lately to Indiana. Wasn't smart to take us for granted when we have a declining manufacturing base, one of the poorest education and environmental records in the country and, as Crossroads of America, greatly affected by gasoline and energy issues.

People are figuring this out. Once again Palin connected at a superficial level, but her underlying message was rather vacuous. McCain, meanwhile, cannot muster anything that is coherent, consistent and compelling. Right now, he's his own worst enemy.

Obama can win if people actually vote for him on the 4th.

You know, I haven't been polled once in this long political season. Do they just poll the same voters over and over?? Have the pollsters figured out yet that it takes Obama 3 paragraphs just to anser How are You?

I am voting Democrat because Obama and Biden gives me answers to how and what they would do in their administration instead of McShame and that Palin lady, which all they are good at is avoiding questions and not talking about issues. I am a woman and Palin does not represent me in any way, she is the most ignorant person I have ever seen on the political stage, she does not equal Hillary. She's good at talking nonsense but dosen't know anything about policy! I would never vote nonsense into the VP spot when I have to think about student loans, gas prices, my job, and my retirement. And by the way I don't know any average Joes how make 6 figure salaries, has a jet to sell on ebay and can duck court cases!

it may be that Americans aren't going to be deceived by Republican mud-slinging tactis this time. Still, I expect that McCain, having unleashed his …. female dog, will try to appear fatherly and benign in today's debate. As if he hadn't said anything at all negative about Obama or trying to make it seem as if Obama started the mud-slinging fracas (I've read this wild version a few times).

"We have to stop this crisis by fixing corrupt practices in Washington (oops… what was Keatings about?)"… is McCain's slogan. He also shows a disturbing (to me) trait… has anybody counted the times he says "I am pround of…" (list of things he did or dreamt he did). He seems inordinately pround of himself (and I for one can't see anything outstanding in him). He was a POW, yes, and acquited himself well during his imprisionement, but so did plenty of others, who had the same bad luck of becoming POWs. It's time he stops talking about some long-past war and thinks instead about keeping this new generation out of some of these useless wars that are getting young men and women killed and imprisioned NOW! He keeps insisting the surge has worked but… has it? If I surround my house with 10 policemen it won't probably be robbed, but if that level of law-enforcers were needed for a long stay it still wouldn't be a good neighbourhood.

The McCain and Palin campaign continue to descend further each day into the abyss of lies, smears and misrepresentations. They have proven themselves to be morally and ethically bankrupt, yet they hold themselves out to appeal to the Christian right? Puhleeze. They're so unChristian it's not even funny.

We need to stand up and tell McCain and Palin that we won't take it anymore. No more negative ads…we want answers on ISSUES. Write to your home newspapers, and VOTE! No matter how long it takes to stand in line, do it. Offer to take an elderly neighbor along. We CANNOT allow McCain and Palin to further emasculate this one great country.

GOOOO Obama/Biden! And Joe, thinking of you today. Our sincere condolences to you and Jill.

With over 300,000,000 people in the U.S., less than 1% are politicians. It's a shame and disgrace that we can not get 2 decent candidates to run for president. Sara Palin is taking a lot of heat from the press and the public for not being more informed on foreign issues , policy, economy, etc. She needs to stop listening to the McCain advisers and start being herself. Tell the people she is not a Washington insider and hasn't made a career in politics in DC but she has the ability to stand up to the president and say "no" when "no" needs to be said. Be honest with the people. As for Biden, he's happy the media is focusing on Palin and not him, a career politician. Use some common sense people.

Why worry either of them will raise taxes, they already did by voting for the bailout, just read the add ons. Also forget about economy, neither one can fix it, they are both pawns of the system and neither works for the people, they just blow alot of smoke up our ………….

Odds over at intrade are that Obama is three times to win in a landslide than McCain is to win at all.

Johnny is a gambling man, someone should ask if he would take those odds.

Try as you will CNN to influence the election and get your liberal Obama elected. People will come to there senses and vote for someone they know will protect our country and stand up for us.
We tired of the do nothing Dems in washington that just want to throw mud. It's time America took back their country from the blood sucking journalist who'll say and do anything for a story.

America in this time of Global Economic crisis needs to elect a new President with the courage, proven leadership, experience and mature judgement in addition to the Country-First Dedication of the
man who most deserves to be COMMANDER IN CHIEF of our great nation and in these dangerous times. That man our great nation needs is John S. Mccain.The economic mess our country is in cannot be blamed entirely on the Bush Administraion. And certainly not on John Mccain. It was and is the greed of the many Banks and Financial Intitutions with their CEO's who caused this Global Economic crisis..

RIP to McCain's political career….i Predict after the election, he would have to answer alot of questions such as putting his political career before the country etc.
Right now Palin is too over confident that she would stumble very soon. it's just a matter of time.

i pray the american people know who is best for our country and elect barack obama for our president. mccain and his snake-oil sidekick are poison for this country.

May the real maverick win!!!!

Obama/Biden '08

great news, I can't wait till President Obama is sworn in.

His lead show continue to grow until Election day. He should have a 15 point margin by then.

McCain-Palin are frauds. They have no policies,answers or plans. They are only left with smear tactics.

Americans are too smart and insulted by their campaign.

Go Obama-Biden!

As a viewer from Nigeria and an ardent follower of most us elections. I was surprised to read few viewers saying that Palin won the debate. She dodged most of the questions and answered only the ones that came close to her crammed talking points even though totally different from the question asked!

If Palin is all that the GOP has to offer then the election is as good as over. There is nothing wrong in admitting that her choice is a sheer error of judgement or Mccain simply wants to insult the intelligence of the American public.

Obama is ahead, that's why the McCain campaign is going so negative. I wish we could just focus on the issues of the country and stop all this partisan jibber-jabber! But I guess that would be a loser for the Republicans?

The polls don't lie. The American people are trully tired of the failed policies of the Republican party and are eager for change. Obama has shown that he has what he takes to lead this great nation forward.
Obama/Biden '08

Obama will be a disaster.

Meek in the international stage. Russia, Venezuela, china, middle east, these people are just looking to take on the us.

Democratic tax and spend festival at home. Shift wealth from productive people that earned it to nonproductive people that spend it on consumer garbage. The government doesn't create jobs.

CNN. you did not post my comment yet and you say I have already said that? Why are you so biased agaisnt John MCCain?

Tick, tick, tick…

Come on….say it with me.

President Obama.

So all of the despicable lies and negative attack AD's from Angry Johnny McCain and ignorant,intolerant Gomer Palin are not working?
McCain / Palin = Unstable / Unable

When you tell the truth and have a PLAN the people will listen. McCain has no PLAN and does not know what the truth is anymore. He has failed. FAILED the nation

Mrs. Palin, soon it will be time for you to run back into the wilderness.

To all those in these battleground states: If you vote in advance or on the day, please vote for Obama. We need to end this GOP attack machine, this right-wing leech that sucks our economy dry to fill their own pockets, who starts wars that kill tens of thousands, and who impinge on civil liberties in the name of religion. Stand up for economic strength. Stand up for peace and stability. Stand up for individual freedom to express yourself without fear. PLEASE vote Obama.

The people are beginning to wake up. Can someone please tell John McCain the smear tactics isn't working? The people want to hear the issues and not just unnecessary attacks.

He needs to be shaking in his boots. These empty allegations are the reason why this country is in the mess that it's in. McCain is living up to the pet name of McNOSHAME. I can't believe that after the annoucements of Ayers episode. Something that occurred when OBAMA was 8 and a lot of us weren't even born, that voters would even consider John M and Failin' as viable candidates.

John McCains campaign ,(to borrow a Monty Python quote) is,"Its not resting, it's dead.Breathed of life,it has ceased to be. If you hadnt nailed it to the perch , it would be pushing up the daisies. It is no more. This is a late campaign. It has run down the curtain and joined the chior invisible."

Portland, Or

We can do this! Less than one month to go!

Pain and Panic needs to suspend their campaign again, its so obvious

The GOP is reaping the harvest it has sown.

Into the jaws of the enemy's stronghold, again and again and again. Man, you gotta love a fighter. A man who knows he's going to be slimed but he just won't quit. Better than a Timex. Kicking you know what in the polls, in the debates, in the ideas and in the plans, and taking names. Wasn't that supposed to the "mavericks" role? Looks like the old maverick's been branded a rogue instead. America is fortunate to have a leader who can expose lies to the light, and you know what happens when you turn the lights on McCockroach; he runs for the cover of slime.

And to cambat this, McCain has decided to throw in the towel by turning his campaign into the Jerry Springer show?

Ashamed to have once been a Republican.

McCain pull out of MN too. Hell has frozen over my evangelical mother-in-law is voting for Obama!!!

it doesnt matter, were screwed this election no matter which which one wins. Thats why Iam just going to the vote booth to get the senator Iam for and let the rest of you pick the pres. I dont feel good about ether of them

It was McSame. Now it's McShame.

McCain's decision to abandon the issues and try to build a presidency on a framework of lies, distortions, and smears about Obama's character insults voters, trivializes the crises we face, and shames and dishonors McCain himself. In six months, McCain has transformed himself from an American hero to an object of pity.

Actually, the last Democrat to carry North Carolina was Bill Clinton in 1996. Clinton carried the state in both 92 and 96, so North Carolina going Democratic in a presidential election is not a farfetched idea at all.

The rise before the fall. I predict Obama will slip on a banana peel and fall flat on his face, looking so awkward that no one will vote for him.

Obama gains, Obama gains. Only in your liberal sleep democrats.

It's the economy, STUPID!

I love the smell of Republican desperation in the morning.

John McCain has lost all credibility. He has lost any honor he held, and has turned into a raving lunatic. He is scary, and his lack of clear knowledge of the economy, of world politics, and of the common people, is just plain scary.
Senator Obama has my full support.

Well, when the choice is the steady, levelheaded leadership of Obama vs. the erratic, disingenuous panic of McCentury, the decision is clear:

Obama/Biden '08!!!!!

America is tired of the McCain attacks. They are realizing he and his joke of a candidate have nothing to over this country.

Obama/Biden'08

be fair, you have been pro obama since the primaries!

Go Obama all the way. No one can stop you, not McCain, not Failing ..oops Pailin. We are interested in the issues, not negative attacks from McShame and his maid girl (McFlirting).

Just goes to show that people are finally starting to wake up to the smear campaigning that the Rethugs try to pull every election cycle. Now if we can just get everyone in the MSM to start fact checking as part of the main article and not separate articles then maybe we will start seeing larger shifts.

Women will continue to support Obama as long as Palin stands out as the wrong symbol for the great American women who intend to run for president in the future. Her character and personality is blocking the chances of other meaningful women. She is a liability. Simple!

GO OBAMA BIDEN GO. WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER VILLAGE IDIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. WE HAVE HAD 8 YEARS OF ONE AND LOOK WHAT HE AND HIS CRONIES HAVE DONE TO THIS COUNTRY AND WORLD? SEND THE OLD MAN BACK TO BAKE THE REST OF HIS BRAIN IN THE HEAT AND MOOSE HEAD ON A GLACIER SIGNED A REPUBLICAN JIM HALL KANSAS CITY MISSOURI.

Could it be that the American people are not only finding McCain's policy positions untenable, but also are being turned off by his campaign's gutter politics and outright slander?

If it was one poll, or just one state, then maybe that question would be up in the air. But the entire country is shifting towards Obama!

Nothing short of a heartfelt apology by McCain in tonight's debate could turn the tide at this point. And as an Obama supporter, I'd like to see that.

Let the polls keep rolling on, on ,on – for Sen Obama for the White House.

While McCain sharpens his war-mongering trait on a dispicable, sleazy campaign.

If there is a Lord above and Americans are through their 'brainless wonder' stage, we will have a REAL Leader, President Obama in November.

The world is holding its collective breath!

Goooooooooooooooooooo Obama! I'm so PROUD of you!!! You are in GODs favor Sir!!! There is NOTHING the GOP can do to stop you now!!!

why not just let cnn decide who wins that way we can just sit at home

It's Over, John.

Obama = change- promise- presidential- positive – healthy – leader
friendly – answers questions – great V.P. pick

McCain = Liar – nasty – old man – old issues – no economic plans – has had cancer 4 x's – bitter – avoids answering questions – idiot V.P. pick

People say it's the economy but I think it's a perfect storm of many things:

McCain=Bush
Palin=Cheney
Palin is too ridiculous to be PTA President much less Vice President
Economy is tanking
Obama is just simply smarter and more presidential

The republicans have screwed us!

TIME FOR CHANGE
OBAMA/BIDEN '08

come on my fellow hoosiers WE CAN show these rightwing liars we are not going to take their smear tactactics get out the vote YES WE CAI BY GOD YES WE WILL OBAMA INDIANA 08 VOTE VOTE VOTE

Finally, I predict that Alaskans will also go Obama, as they will have become sick and tired of being made to look like extras from the Trailer Park Boys by a woman who comes across as a Seinfeld character.

It breaks my heart to see a hero like McCain ditch his sense of honor to win this election. It seems from these polls that between vetting Sarah Palin and watching McCain and the Bushies implode, America has had enough. On the upside, Obama seems like a straight shooting, mellow, informed and focused person. I believe he will do a find job as President.

Fact Checking. Wisconsin did go Democratic in the last two elections. Al Gore and John Kerry carried Wisconsin 10 electoral votes

I predict Obama will win in Arizona, where the people are experiencing really tough times and the housing market is a disaster.

Obama continues to address the issues, while McCain and Palin attack. He has responded with a punch of his own, but is showing why he should be the next President by sticking to the issues and what he is going to do for the country.

A month is an eternity in a political contest. I predict that McCain will tarnish himself further in the debate tonight and keep sliding in the polls. Carter won 6 states against Reagan, maybe "Honest John" and his pet Moose can take 7.

Polls change because people are not stupid!
Bush is laughing all the way to the bank when everyday people cant pay bills and cant find a job.

The numbers speak for themselves.

HOW DO YOU SPELL DEFEAT?…..P-A-L-I-N…..End of story!

After finding out Obama licked off his political career in the livingroom of a terrorist being invited and sponsored by a terrorist group (proven fact) it should be a flag to everyone. Combine that with how fast he rose through the ranks to presidential candidate you need to realize that doesn't happen without owing a lot of favors.

I hope Obama Humililate 's MCcnut's-MCpalin.

Mccain/Palin are lying about Obama this is so awful Obama is no terriost !!!!! Mccain/ Palin is not what this country need!!!! Mccain/Palin show thier supporters how to hate!!! and Mccain/Palin is spreading lies ENOUGH!!!!

America, please stop the negative campaigning and get back to how to fix the recession we are getting into. The fact is America needs to show leadership in the world and i dont think this negative campaigning helps America's image.

It's over mCbush your unhinged, just like palin.

Please, please, please, McCrypt, tell us the Poor Old Warrior story for the 4,157,820th time, we just cannot hear it enough, especially since it is so pertinent to the economic meltdown!

Until you get a clue, the polls will continue drop just as the stock market.

Ironic, is it?

The GOP ship is sinking.

I believe that the numbers are much greater than those. We playing the numbers game. We all will have to wait until Nov.4

It's time for the people in my state of Ohio to use their brains and vote for Barack Obama. Because we were under Republican leadership for nearly 20 years and the economy pretty much has tanked under Republican rule. Obama has new ideas, dreams and the intellect needed to fix my state as well as the country.

The lead is just going to get larger for Obama as the McCain campaign goes on the attack with lies and slander. People are too smart for these tactics after ending up with Bush for the past 8 years they aren't going to fall for the same old same old.

The pick of Palin is also turning out to be wackier than first thought as people are getting a good glance at how simple minded she is turning out to be.

well…the cream always rises to the top, doesn't it?

Back in '00 and '04 there were floaters in the bowl.

Goooooo Voter's For Obama! You know REAL people with REAL change to better the people in our country… which will make it better for all of us! Positive people make for a much better environment!

McCain is a depressing "me-man". At least Bush is stupidly funny; things would be worse with McCain because he's stupidly mean… and Palin? Be honest with yourself… a gossipy small town, clueless follower! Did you know that Wasilla is less than 12 miles long?! Crazy to even think of her suddenly leading and making decisions for our Nation now!

The next poll after today`s debate should more or less predict the result of the election. Thus a lot of mud will be in the air tonight. Hopefully senator Obama can keep it cool and focussed.

OMG: Sarah did another interview and was speaking gibberish again. The map should be changing just based on McCain pick – Palin is a total disgrace. I have never witness an election like this before she makes Dan Q. look like a genius. Sarah does not need to sit down interviewing until she learn how to give one with meaning! She's a total Joke!

Right on!

McCain is a Desparate, erratic, bitter, angry arrogant old man with old ideas.

Vote Obama / Biden!

Take that Fox News! For all of your biased reporting in favor of the GOP, people are seeing right through it!

Obama '08.

McCain is a bitter, angry, desperate old man.

At a time when this country is in the worst economic mess since 1929, Mccain has no answers, solutions, ideas or plan to get the country and the economy back on track.

People are sick of his and Palin's whining, lying and try to dredge up the past becaue they are unable to talk about the present and the furture.

McCain will lose and lose big in November becaue he has underestimated the intelligence of the vast majority of Americans.

Game over!

John McCain has his voters screaming that Obama is a terrorist now. It’s just a matter of time before his followers try to take there matters in to there own hands, and McCain will look innocent, and we can possibly loss and other great leader to the republican party like others in so many of our life times. That type of talk is life threatening and they know it, shame on them.

YES WE CAN AND WE WILL

PEOPLE BARACK THE VOTE WOULD YA

This tells me the race is about over. McCain has not done anything in the race and now it is showing. Palin's one liners and smart mouth is not doing the race any good. People want solutions, not cutt downs by the McCain campaign. They just don't get it.

WHY IS JMAC ANGRY…HE NEEDS TO STOP BEING NEGATIVE….MAYBE HE IS JEALOUS ..I THINK HE WISHES HE WAS OBAMA
