[...] Around Our Store Gold Box Extra savings on different products every day. 27 4 hours ago Sarah…CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive - Double-digit Obama… Linda October 7th, 2008 6:39 pm ET The tide is changing to blue let's keep it going [...]

My prayer is that the party known for hooks and crooks (republican party) is not allowed to steal this election through fraud,etc.

Why nothing on CNN about the "terrorist", "traitor calls at the Palin and McCain rallies? Why nothing on the Secret Service investigation of the Palin supporter who yelled "kill him" during one of Palin's rants about Obama?

Surely voters should know about what is happening in these rallies rather than constantly showing these speeches containing many comments you have fact checked as FALSE??

VOTING is just like driving…
If you want to backward, choose "R".
If you want to go forward, choose "D".

Obama/Biden 2008

NO suprise. Minnesota voted in a has been professional wrestler as a Governor, and have an idiot comedian running for Senator, so why wouldn't they vote for a 3 1/2 year do nothing Obama.

If the MSM would only do their job, print all the crookedness of obama his poll numbers would drop. Do they know he is not even a natural born citizen. Do they know 1/3 of his donation money has come from overseas. McCain returned his, obama didn't, Do they know that obama's campaign is also accepting money over the limit from people like Good Will, Dooda Man, Loving You. Now anybody with sense knows that is laundering and he is accepting it. So WHY IN THE DEVIL ISN'T THE PRESS REPORTING ALL THIS STUFF.

Hey, I remember this part! It's just like the Democratic primary where the Obama campaign and the media get together and make the public think that it's all over for Obama's opponent.

Shsh! Kim-Fla,
We don't want use words like "educate" as it'll make us seem like elites. We don't like plans either as it is so nerdy and out fashion. All you need to be POTUS and VPOTUS is war experience and moose hunting.

Too bad that Texas is not near an ocean or great lake. Obama would be up fifteen points there as well.

I hope these polls do not encourage voters on either side from staying home on Election Night. This is the probably the most important presidential election in anyone's lifetime and nothing is a done deal yet.

I'll be looking to see where Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida fall on November 4. If Obama wins those states, the writing will be on the wall.

Well, my respiratory infection is better this evening, so I will go back to work tomorrow… ready or not. Reading these comments and adding my own has been a nice break from the pain and discomfort of "sick". Thank you, CNN, for allowing this forum. I will check with you after work tomorrow to get the word on the debate, which I shall, of course, be glued to the TV for… though prone on the couch. And of course, I will be watching the best news team on Television! *grin*

John McCain chose a "COUNTRY FIRST" motto, and then
selects a totally unqualified woman to be possible president of the
country. This woman is a threat to our national security. How is SHE going to protect us? The foreign enemy will know that we are a weak target if Sara Palin is ever allowed to command. John McCain may even be captured AGAIN while he is asleep in the White House. His "judgement" after all allowed him to crash five planes and get captured. Americans Had better think twice before helping the republican party fool this country again. WE THE PEOPLE are the country

Kim Jong-il would vote for OBAMA!!!

Political Ticker , why is my comments always awaiting moderation, this is the second comment I have send you and you did not print it, I am confuse as to why is this.You have my email let me know so I can correct if I am doing something wrong.____ Way to go Obama & Biden great job. I live in Canada and I am voting for Obama & Biden.

The party's over for the ReThuglicans. I can't wait to see the look on Sean Hannity's face after all the votes have been counted on Nov. 4th. Only then will Sean , Karl Rove, Billy Krystal , and all of the other ( vast majority) of Fox News Network Republican surrogates realize just how "out of touch" they are with the American people. I've been trying to tell these fools that the more THEY talk negatively about Obama , the HIGHER his poll ratings go. At the rate FOX is going …… Obama will LANDSLIDE into victory. FOX NEWS NETWORK just does not GET IT !!!!

OBAMA / BIDEN '08

Oh My - just look at all these shiny little Republicans!!!. They are so happy!!!! Soooooo glad to be discussing something, ANYTHING, other than the issues facing Americans today - like the Economy, ending the Iraq War, Health Care, etc., etc., etc., because they know they have no issues to discuss.

Bringing up Ayers and Rev. Wright - so old news, so yesterday. Do you think that if Hillary - the Hillster and her attack machine - couldn't find anything on Obama that these [really shiny and happy] Republicans will? LOL!!!

and McCain still drops in the polls-another point today…..But Obama keeps rising… Humm….wonder how this is all working out for you slimey, oops - Shiney - Little Republicans!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

oh yea….Obama/Biden 'till 2024!!!

please voters, forget about the polls bring a friend to the voting center on election day. please dont fill that with this polls coming out that obama will just win ,well let me remind you all about what happen in new england during the primary season he was leading hillary by 10 point but he lost.for obama to win we all have to vote come november 4.

Vladimir Puti would vote for OBAMA!!!

HAHAHAHA McCain you old goat, go take your blow up doll Palin and take her for a spin in the bedroom. At least you should get your money's worth now that you're gonna have to choke on your tears.

Propaganda hogwash. They forget how they swore at the begining of the Campaigns how their Polls showed America voting for B.H.Obama over H.Clinton in overall count. Now its J.McCains turn to be ostersized, or shall we say, Obamanized. Let us not put up with this shamfull way the democrats are dragging America through the dirt. Remember that Movie, Saving Private Ryan where the German sang the song, America.

To T Harris (7:17)

If you notice, the SAME people blog all day, why?

…because they are at home ALL DAY waiting for their welfare checks!

Obama supporters have no depth, insight or common sense, simply followers…

NEVER say anything negative about the "Almighty Obama," for it will not get posted.

is palin alive??????????? where is the PIT mccain

I think tonites Debate will Make or Break John McCain. As For Myself I believe that everything that Obama Has Used in his Campain McCain has tried to Do The Same. Looks to me as Monkey say Monkey Do. McCain Being the Monkey.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would vote for OBAMA!!!

Who told Obama he knew anything about the economy anyway? What has he done in the past that proves he knows what he is talking about? The junior senator one time Obama is criticizing McCain for siding with Bush, then doing the exact thing with Bush, as we saw last week during the outrageous bailout. Talk about being a HYPO. As it happened in the past, Obama voted for the package without reading the details. I cannot vote for a person like him this election. Let us watch Obama prove himself the next 12 years. NOW is not the time.

CNN, I've asked this question before and I'll ask again!

WHAT is that growth that is building on the left eyelid of Senator McCain?

He can hardly open his eye with the same speed as his right eye.

HAS HIS CANCER RETURNED!? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW!

More good news.

The Secret Service has launched an investigation on the "kill him" comment at the hate filled, closed minded, bigoted McSame event.

Why do Repubs lash out with so much hate?

Just tell the truth those of you supporting McLame…you are SCARED of a BLACK man in the WHITE house.

Well, I am STILL scared of evil, hateful, NEOCONS controlling the White House.

By the way…we are ALL from the African Rift Valley. The greatest diversity in Mitochondrial DNA is found in Africa. Everywhere else there is very LITTLE difference.

I know, I know…there goes the Liberal (literal definition of FREEDOM by the way) with his FACTS again.

Susan,

And she's about to hit a very high note!

GET OUT THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! Keep at it like we are 10 points down. Never give up until the results are CLEAR and OVERWHELMING!

How did McCain wind up with Palin as a running mate? Did every good Republican say " Thanks but no thanks" to his offer as running mate?

Obama will stand up for what is right and he will forbid what is wrong.

Shawn, Ga

Yes, that's true, but how many new registered voters are voting Democrat? How many Dems have already voted?? Also, how many people in our armed forces are voting McCain. Also, I don't recall hearing that McCain had the Latino or the African- American vote locked up. Nope. That would be the other candidate.
Obama will win. Get over it!!!
And Shawn, God forbid President Obama turns the eceonmy around and ends these terrible wars, what will you have to complain about then? Nothing.

Obama/Biden 08/12

McCain should have made a qualified pick for his VP. His Chances would have been better, but he desided to pick a attack dog and now she is bitting him in the butt.

Mcfool/McPalin should campaign in TX, LA,OK, TN, KS Now…

Go Refugs…

MR MC CAIN AND MRS. PALIN, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU HOW LOW DOWN AND DIRTY ARE YOU?

The real excitement is on the Huffington Post. Bye

One Love Minnesota!!

Barack your Vote!!!!

The mess in Republican ticket started with John McCain and from there it went down hill. McCain sold the people out picking Palin for political reasons only. Back Fire!!!!

The people deserve the best.
The people deserve Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

I just KNEW Minnesotans were too smart to fall for the demonic rhetoric! My faith in my fellow Americans is gradually being restored.

Hugo Chavez would vote for OBAMA!!!!

Why do the Repubilicans always attack Obama for things that he never did, but for knowing someone even when it is only breifly, how many of you know someone you met and are or were work with full past? Be honest!

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.

Palin was attacking Joe Biden as he attended his mother-in-law's funeral. That is a new low. I can't wait until she is sent back to Alaska.

When all is said and done, Obama goes down in November because of two issues that won’t go away:

1. Jeremiah Wright
2. Michelle Obama

While speaking in tongues for nearly two years now — and since voters REALLY don’t know much about Obama –or what he REALLY stands for — these two issues will stick!

I feel sorry for Sarah. She has to hug McLizzard every time she gets on stage. The hugs are getting longer, and she looks like she hates it.

Boo hoo, so sad, too bad. That's what lipstick without a brain will get ya.

This Independent voter is heading Senator Obama's way with thousand others. We held a meeting over the weekend and the mood is the same, McCain is out of touch and has become the most dangerous person to America.

My, my, my…sounds like some McCain supporters have their panties in a wad given the trend in the polls. I have to say, after tolerating 8 years of this Republican nonsense, I'm enjoying the panic and rants. I'm so happy that the majority of the American people are finally using some common sense. Enough of this far right wing evangelical, anti-intellectual, hockey mom, redneck crap! I can't WAIT to have someone in the White House that can properly string a sentence together!

Al Qaeda Supports O'Bama

Yes We Can!

Midwesterners for Obama.

Character and Substance over Anger and Hatred any day!

There is hope for this country yet. My kids, who are of age to vote for the first time ever, said to me "Why should I bother? It doesn't matter what I think, besides my life is complicated enough without thinking about politics." Dear Lord, how many young people still think this way? Urge your kids to get out there, register and vote. Do it now!

Listen to Obama, read his book, "The Audacity of Hope", and you will learn what an intelligent rational human being sounds like, one who truly cares about his fellow man instead of mouthing what he thinks people want to hear!

Obama is the man for President! And there is no question that Biden is much more prepared to be the VP that McCain's girl, Palin.

Voting for Obama and his incompitent tax raising plans will doom your families. Proud Americans whith family values and morals will vote for McCain as he is the only candidate who can turn this country around. All Obama will do is create more Government control. The Government is not going to control how and what I spend my hard earned money on. People need to work for a living and stop accepting Government handouts. Everyone who complains about job loss doesn't really want to work. I view these job/career sites daily and I can't tell you the amount of jobs available to people who want to work.

Watching all of the election coverage then doing research and fact finding this tells me one thing.Minnesota has done their homework and are making educated decisions.When you look for the real proof and substance Obama stands tall, and McCain falls incredibly short, and Palin,well there is not much you can say, as there is nothing but controversary and extremely overstated experience to go by.Not sure why anyone would want a winky wink VP with a disaterous record.

It would be a shame if McCain knew his campaign was tanking, but I don't think he gets it.

Obama/Biden 08

The begining of the end for McCain!!

The American People are far stronger then the Republican party who only talks about hate, fear, who is really a patriot, and who only values money above the people of America!

It is time we all had Healthcare, and Education free to all Americans, like they have in most of the developed countries of the world. So that their will be no reason that anyone does not have a path to a awesome future in front of them, as long as thay are willing to take it by the hand their hands!

First let me say that I am an Independent voter and up until yesterday hadn't decided who I was going to vote for. I was still on the fence. However after listenting to Governor Palin and Sen. McCain stoop so low as to accuse Sen. Obama of being a terrorist I must say my decision is made now in favor or Sen. Obama. I really wish that the Republican candidates would stick to what's really important instead of trying to discredit the Democrats. I bet most people feel the same way.

Vote on Nov 4…. better yet, Vote Early!!!!

Nothing is taken for granted. We must help Obama/ Biden win!!!!

Now, the American people are beginning to realize that by electing Senator Obama, will enlighten the opportunity of restoring the country's downfall, especially during crisis like the economy and such. Go Minnesota, Let's all rock….. Obama/Baiden 08

I am sick and tired of the Democrats AND the Republicans. They are the 2 sides of the same coin of partisan politics. It is time the world grew up and moved beyond the divisive partisanship!

The American people are waking up! It will be the same where ever people listen to solutions and not negative adds.

Ironic, isn't it that they had the RNC there. Guess that's a distant memory. Must be Minnesota cares about the Economy and Jobs, unlike Tennessee and Kentucky. Minnesota Blue, baby! And Carolina too!

Besides the economy, could having Palin as a VP, his so called suspension of his campaign to work on the bailout, etc. etc. have a little to do with the polls???

Anyone who seriously regarded Minnesota as a "swing state" doesn't know Minnesota. Any Republican holding out even the smallest bit of hope for Minnesota to go red is delusional. MN hasn't gone Republican since '72, and it certainly won't this election, after eight years of the Bush administration and all the horror that has wrought.
Obama/Biden '08!

I was just in Minnesota last week — Glad to see that my observations were confirmed, that Minnesota is strong for Obama. Bless you guys — Now get out there and make it happen on Nov. 4.

Way to go Minnesota!!! Despite the GOP smear and fear tactics, people don't care about that stuff!!

I'm so proud of Minnesota-my birth state. Minnesota has always been a solid progressive state, with a common sense attitude. Clearly those great traditions are continuing.

Looks like the more the neocons trash Senator Obama, the better he does in the polls. Rove's gutter tactics are backfiring this time around.

McCain is a real chauvinist who hides behind his brainless and clueless female attack dog and gets her to do his dirty work!

McCain is a chauvinist!

. . . It doesn't matter what McCain says tonight. America has made
up its mind. We do not want to become a fascist country. So just
let Sara Palin keep "talking".

Democrats 08.

As long as the American people stop acting as if they are a women who has a husband or boyfriend who beats on them we will be ok. Guys who beat on women tell them that they are nothing without them, that they are nothing, or worthless, then they tell tem that they love them to gain forgiveness from the women. But if the American people reject this bad behavior from the Repulicains they will be able to stand tall, and face anything that come their way.

Actually, the people who are uneduated are the McCain voters.

They're in panic mode because they can see the edge of the cliff, with hungry flesh eating bunnies at the bottom.

Poor people like me cannot afford to stand by and just watch my 401k going down the tube and even remotely consider voting for John mcSame with his lack of judgement in so many areas and most notably his selection as a VICE PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. You have got to be kidding me.

Thank god. If the old man and the bimbo win I'm moving abroad.

McCain made a huge gamble with Palain and now it has backfired. Every time she has been asked a question and had to respond from her own brain she has looked like a fool. Good job Mcstupid.

Good job MN! Now we need the rest of the states to go OBAMA
This country needs to get back to ONE NATION.
When the smoke clears we need to send bush, cheney, rice, rummy,
rove and powell off to prison for a LONG time. Crimes against humanity, treason, tampering with the vote.
Lets see- - - federal crimes=Leavenworth

CNN, IN APRIL 16TH OBAMA RESPONDED TO THE QUESTION ABOUT BILL AYERS, SINCE YOU ARE SHOWING WHAT SARAH IS SAYING ABOUT TERRORIST, ED SCHULTZ HAS A CLIPPING WHEN GEORGE ON ABC ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT AYERS AND OBAMA EXPLAINED IT. FIND THE CLIP CNN AND SHOW IT.

I DONT WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO CNN, BUT YOU GUYS ARE SO CAUGHT UP IN PALIN AND SHE WONT EVEN GIVE YOU AN INTERVIEW.

Time for a Win!!

Kim-Fl;
We stand for change, hope, honesty, integrity, good judgement and sound policies which is exactly why we cannot vote McCain/Palin!!!
However, I understand that those are difficult concepts for the likes of you to understand after being brainwashed by Bush, McCain, Rove, Gingrich, Limbaugh and others to believe that anger, war-mongering, hate and bad policies are good qualities in a leader and that intellect, hope, change, good judgement are bad and "elitist".

Turning Florida Blue!!!
Lisa T.

As long as Obama continues doing the right thing, we the American people will send him to the White House. This time around, we know a good thing when we see it. The riot mentality of the Palin McCain rallies are too scarey to allow that party to have power over this country.

I would like to know how McCain's health care plan would work for low income people who pay no income tax.

Also I would like to hear Susie Orman's advice on what a person 78 years old with income from Civil Service retirement and an IRA which is invested in bonds.

Thank you.

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.

I love Minnesota!

That's it; WE ARE TAKING OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!
From the rich thugs who were selling us down the river! NEVER AGAIN!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Thank Goodness!!

I am so tired of McCain and his negativity and Palin and her "folksy" ways. She is the absolute worst!!! America will have gone from Bush's ignorant ramblings to Palin's (who is starting remind me a lot of the mother from the cartoon "Bobby's World") "You betcha!"s and "Gosh Darn-it!"s.

We can do better. If McCain is getting angry and pulling out all the stops on Obama…what will he do when talks w/ foreign leaders don't go in his favor??? We can't fight everyone!!

CNN Please POST!!!

As long as Obama continues doing the right thing, we the American people will send him to the Whitehouse. This time around, we know a good thing when we see it. The riot mentality of the Palin McCain rallies are too scarey to allow that party to have power over this country.

I wonder if Americans really care about their image in the world…..

Given all of the twisted lies, smears and outright prejudice from the McCain campaign and Republican…..

how can the world have a favorable view of America?

I guess its because winning is everything…..

and see where it took America over the past 8 years.

Glad to see the good folks of Minnesota are seeing through the GOP slime-machine tactics. As my grammy always used to say, Johnny Mac: If you've got nothing good to say, don't say anything!

This is not a surprise MN is a Blue state. McCain will pull of a victory on election night.

I believe that Sara Palin crashed McCain's plane. AGAIN.

Democrats 08.

Being a neighbor to Minnesota, I know those voters won't let us down.

It's over for McCain. As long as him and Palin keep pushing hate and fear, the numbers will keep growing.

thank you Minnesota!

lol! @ griff. u should get new job,ur not very good @ this one.lol!

Polls don't mean squat!

Obama accuses McCain of neglecting to discuss the economy, why?

…Obama does not want any negative people/ads attatched to him…

Obama is NOT what he appears!!

This is not Kerry…and this is not Gore… there is no stopping this.

OBAMA '08

why is the economy always cited as the only reason Obama is kicking moose butt. What about the fact that he has run a brilliant campaign. He has forever changed the way any political campaign will be run. He is a true Maverick.

Let's see torture, sanctioned by the White House, over 4,000 soldiers dead, the world hates us, Iraq has an 80 billion dollar surplus, foreclosures up to the ying yang, the entire city of New Orleans drowned, food and gas prices high, Oh and our 401Ks are getting soaked. Are we having fun yet?

NO MORE BUSH OR MCBUSHE'S. SEND THE CLOWNS HOME.

Obama/Biden

McCain=LIP-FLOP, FLIP-FLOP Summers over. Time to put away the flip-floppers. No debate/debate. Strong economy/economy in crisis. I think THEY called Kerry that in 2004 did they not? Not a pretty picture and I can see wht America is finally waking up. It's a shame that it took 8 years though.

GO DEMS!

Soon, all of the states will be blue. Get outta town, McShameful-Losers. Make room for the new President Obama. You would do well to learn from such integrity that he has displayed. Go on, McGrampa and McBushMeatKiller, don't forget your lipstick. Don't you have somewhere to be??

cnn! please get rid of lou dobbs' show. everyday i have to change the channel to msnbc when lou comes on because i cant stand his tirades.

Another Republican mess, another Democrat has to clean it up. And yes Shawn, it will be Obama. After showing they couldn't manage a lemonade stand without supervision, the GOP should be limited to state-level politics so the rest of us don't have to deal with their outdated, greedy, failed policies.

Sarah Palin-Iran tie.
The founder of Alaska Independence Party Joe Vogler, the raging anti-American and Todd-Sarah's political godfather, said, "My government is my worst enemy. I'm going to fight them with any means at hand."

"Vogler's greatest moment of glory was to be his 1993 appearance before the United Nations to denounce United States "tyranny" before the entire world and to demand Alaska's freedom. The Alaska secessionist had persuaded the government of Iran to sponsor his anti-American harangue.

That's right … Iran. The Islamic dictatorship. The taker of American hostages. The rogue nation that McCain and Palin have excoriated Obama for suggesting we diplomatically engage. That Iran."
Palin's friend and AIP chairwoman Lynette Clark : "[Sarah] is Alaskan to the bone … she sounds just like Joe Vogler."

McCain made 32 videos against his own country to save his own life, tell me who stand for nothing?

This election should be a referendum over the path the republicans have taken this country. A land slide win for Obama would be a good verdict.

Way to go Michigan you are trending for Obama, you rock too!

Next up: Arizona. The home of a hugely popular democrat Governor and whose largest city, Phoenix, has a hugely popular democrat Mayor. Even in rural areas of Arizona, I see more support for Obama than for McCain. The worst thing about McCain losing will be that he will return to Arizona. Maybe he and Cindy should move to Alaska to be with the Palin clan. Whaddya think "Joe Six-Pack"?

Wow. How sad and pathetic.

The Straight Talk express has become Hate Talk Express.
Didn't Gov Palin say something about "our opponent looks to the
past to find blame, but we look to the future to find solutions."

Yet most of what I read and see the last week from McCain/Palin is a desperate attempt to dredge up stuff FROM the past and offer smears and accusations? This is what you offer the american people in this
time of CRISIS.

The greatest financial disaster in my lifetime and McCain/Palin offer
us propaganda hate speeches. People are losing their homes,
their jobs, their lives and this is what you have to offer us?

This Independent is voting for Obama/Biden.
Only fools remain in a burning house.

Thank Goodness!!

I am so tired of McCain and his negativity and Palin and her "folksy" ways. She is the absolute worst!!! America will have gone from Bush's ignorant ramblings to Palin's (who is starting remind me a lot of the mother from the cartoon "Bobby's World") "You betcha!"s and "Gosh Darn-it!"s.

We can do better. If McCain is getting angry and pulling out all the stops on Obama…what will he do when talks w/ foreign leaders don't go in his favor??? We can't fight everyone!!

CNN Please POST!!!

Proud to be a MInnesotan! Go Obama– yes we can!!!

CNN- would you please post this?

Please tell Jack Cafferty that he is missed. I realize that his dreadful family tragedy has taken him away from the Situation Room and his blog. But this Minnesotan wants him to know that it just isn't the same without my favorite curmudgeon. Nobody can cut through the BS like you, Jack. Looking forward to having you back. Nancy in Minneapolis

It's time for McCain to also bail out of this state like he did Michigan so he can fight in states like New Jersey and Maine!

I cant believe we are so stupid. It takes a complete lost of control of our economy to semi-declare policies of the Elephants, bad?

Newt Gingrich is a big baby. Remember how he shut down the government because he couldn't ride up front with Clinton in Air Force One.

Well Newt is going to run for the presidency in 2012, so get ready for some temper tantrums.

The Repugs shouldn't step foot in the White House for years to come, they don't deserve it after the disastrous Bush Administration.

Obama/Biden 08

Obviously all who support Obama do not take the time to educate themselves. Remember when You stand for nothing…You fall for everything!!

Send Bush-in-a-skirt packin back to moose town.

Obama-Biden 08

We are encouraged, empowered and enlightened to change.

things dont look good for mcmaverick. he would have done better if he'd been honest and honorable. instead he gave us lies and baseless attacks.

Hours, that is not 'ours'

I hope Barack gets us the free health care soon, so I can quit my job and get the free healthcare.

Fact: Republican voters are the least educated Americans.

Fact: Democratic voters and voters for OBAMA are the most educated.

Stupid ones listen to the educated ones this time, DUH!

Elizabeth Hucksterhoff from The View, had the nerve to tell Sherrie to calm down today, when she has temper tantrums every week. She's a joke and so is The View as long as they keep pampering that papoose.

Sorry! Anything McCain says now besides lies will make him look like a FLIP-FLOPPER! Too late McCain. Palin is trying to run your ticket instead of you and theres too many people wondering where the McCain of 2004 went.

I've never been more proud of my state. Go Obama!

People in other parts of the country want Obama and they don't know him at all. What does that say about you Americans?

I feel so sad for America, that this man is the best we could do., I don't doubt he will win, he lies, he distorts and he doesn't do anything to help Americans. Where was he while George Bush was destroying the country, he was a sitting Senator wasn't he. I guess he was to busy putting his own interests first, rather than looking out for the people who elected him. Obama is a fraud, I just don't know if this country can stand another president who doesn't have a clue what they are doing. I'll be voting third party, I don't want any party of this empty suit, that is representing the party I belonged to for 30 years.

When the obvious dictates change you must be about change and not more of the same…the same attack tactics will not work…the same economic talk when the nation is in an economic struggle will not work. If there ever was a time for change it is now. We cannot fear the future, our present dictates that we change right now.

Blue skies over Minnesota.

GO BIG OR GO HOME BABY.

The Repubtiles are out and they are vicious. Let's show them what we've got because Democrats have the additional task of THINKING. The Repubs just act and react.

I'm seeing bonnie blue skies all over America.

America 08

Yes, I do think it's time to poll MANY states individually - I think we'll see much different numbers than we have seen in recent months. Glad to see so many people are ready for something different in Washington.

And the lead keeps on building for Obama across the nation. Let McCain continue with his full blown character attacks and watch as the undecided voters begin to decide in Obama's favor. I swear this man, McCain, is having a mental breakdown right before our eyes. It may all come to full light in a couple of ours. I will be watching.

Go Obama!

Don't become complacent, Obama supporters! Get out there and volunteer, donate and VOTE. Yes we can!

Proof that Americans don't want to be "Swift Boated" again. If these two candidates can run such a sleezy, tasteless campaign, how would they treat the American people or allies? Me first?

I feel, those who claim McCain/Palin's negative tactics are not working, may have spoken too soon. Give it a few days, & you will see McCain gain some momentum as a result of smear attacks. Poll of polls just changed from 49%-43% to 49%-44%.

Please don't take things for granted. Obama needs every vote. Let's see this through till the end.

The Great State of Ten Thousand BLUE Lakes.
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU !

Isn't it just amazing and truly wonderful that the more mud, lies and crap that the GOP, McShame and Palin sling, the more Obama gains in the polls with the voters? So, I say"John and Sarah keep slinging and keep going down big time!"

Good, Now Put Flordia,Ohio,Nevada,Missouri,Indiania,North Carolina,Virginia and Colorado up by that margin Too.

Obama/Biden 08′

Obama Blue Baby–Keep up the good work Minnesota.

Obama/Biden Blue 08

The negative attacks, lies, distortions, hypocricy and double standards have come full circle. People have finally wisened up to the Republican smear machine and the Palin factor (who's very existence on the ticket is an insult to our intelligence - mere regurgitation of facts and generic cutesy responses with a smile and wink are not gonna cut it anymore).
The country has serious problems needing bold, imaginative and creative solutions. McCain with outdated, antiquated and rejected ideas of the past century is simply not going to cut it and Palin is out of her league. Its 2008 and the country needs a bold, new direction.
My 401K is down 48% and I'm voting Dem.

The tide is changing…to blue…let's keep it going…C'mon Ohio and Virginia, join in the sunami!

Make America TRUE BLUE on election day, not ROYAL and REGAL RED.

Texas can go blue if we would just G.O.T.V.!!!! Make it happen Texas!!!

Obama/Biden 08′

A vote for McCain means that you like the way things are right now, if your future does not matter to you vote McCain, and watch your money slip away!

Yay! Fear mongering and tapping into racial animus is not working for McCain! I hope this disgusting strategy gets repudiated for the history books, and McCain leaves the stage in shame if he does not change his tactics soon.

go obama! keep picking off these crucial states. Keep the mud slinging to the desperados. Thats why McCain cant look obama in the eyes, people arent stupid

I can't wait for jan 20th we can put the old buddy lee doll away and send the alaskan barbie back home. Then put captian crunch on marine one and send him to Texas to spend the rest of his days in the hall of shame and finally put change in the white house. T-minus 28 days and counting

MN and MI and lost causes for the Republicans at this point. Too many unions, blue collar workers and traditional Democrat voters for McCain to deceieve with his lies.

And the GOP faithful keep telling themselves not to panic. That somehow, some way McCain will not only erase this huge lead of Obama's but also suddenly become the front runner in some of the solid blue states. Keep talking people. Keep one eye on the polls and one eye on the calender. One is going up and one is running out. I will let you figure out between the two.

wait til Nov. 4, there is going to be double digit in several states

I would like to see someone Poll some of the RED state that have not been polled since the first week in September.

Thank you, Minnesota. America is choosing courage over the politics of fear.

P.S. Thanks MN Dems!!!!

It's about time the American people FINALLY woke up and started rejecting the lies and abuses of the GOP!!!!!

This race isn't over yet. Running against McBush and Failin Palin Obama should be up by 20 points. There is still plenty of work to be done and Obama needs to let America see the looney that MCbush has become. He dosen't need to get in the muck with McBush. he needs to let people see that he is a serious man about the issues that face us everyday and let McBush continue to talk about issues that don't put a penny in anyones's pocket. The numbers are starting to look good. But we know how fickle Americans can be.

The attacks will continue. This is all the McBush campaign has to offer.

Stay strong, be confident, volunteer, get involved, donate if you can ….
We will fight back the SMART way.

NO BUSH 3rd TER!!

I spent a little while doing data entry in our Obama HQs today. It felt great! Make a difference, make a change!!!!

I'm voting for the SMART one!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08 and Beyond!!
Turn VA Blue!!!

I'm very happy to see the growing Obama lead greater than the margin of error here in MN!

Way to go Minnesota! We knew we could count on you!
YES WE CAN!

Just like any other state we are taking our country back from the specail interest and repuplicans but DONT FORGET TO VOTE ON NOV 4TH POLLS DONT MEAN ANYTHING UNLESS WE VOTE

This is hopefully going to be one of the biggest surprise landslide victories in US history.

Obama/Biden 08

The earlier polls say that we're leaning toward McCain/Palin, but we Minnesotan knew better and we're overwhelming leaning toward Obama/Biden.

Minnesota is like so many states where people are realizing that McCain has caused his own demise. McCain himself said in 2000 that anyone who resorted to swiftboating wasn't fooling the people and did so because he/she had no vision or plans to help the country.

It won't stop in Minnesota. Obama has been about generating ideas, using thoughtfulness, intelligence, and calmness in the face of crisis, and remaining presidential rising above the fray. He will continue to gain ground.

McCain and Palin have no integrity and lack good character. In the face of an economic crisis which is the most serious the country has faced since the great depression, all McCain and Palin can offer are slurs and lies.

Obama/Biden '08

There are several things that got McCain in trouble. He undermined his biggest strengths- Experience- he undermined that by selecting Palin for political reasons. Policy and details- Obama had the image of being short on details- so what did McCain do- he made the election about the candidates rather than the issues- he has yet to really define his plans. Thirdly, McCain was a "maverick," but the only thing he changed were his positions to align to the GOP base- ie. tax cuts for the wealthy, torture, and off shore drilling. Instead of creating a contrast with Bush's policies he adopted them. He adopted his reform and change platform only after it was successful for his opponent and to this day hasn't provided any details on what that means.

The final nail in the coffin is probably the most daming- McCain stated that the fundamentals of the economy were strong 3 days before the collapse of AIG, Lehman Brothers and Washington Mutual. How as a leader are you going to prevent and respond to crisis if you don't know how to recognize them. If you can't see the road ahead why would you be the one driving the car? We are in the middle of an economic crisis and yet John McCain failed to acknowledge the reality.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We cannot let up. Volunteer, drive an elderly neighbor to the polls, donate, whatever you can do.

We cannot allow McCain and Palin to be elected.

Polls don't mean much especially when they only reflect land lines.

The choices are simple: change or the same.

People get out and vote and if you really want a change for the better then Obama/Biden and other Democrats is the only vote you need to cast.

People do not be afraid and do not let McCain/? or Republicants fear you into voting against true change in Obama/Biden.

McCain is done and Palin is nothing more than a parrot at this stage. Good riddance…

Early voting is the way to go.

Registered Republican voted Obama/Biden 08.

The polls will be double-digit across the country if Obama just lets McCain rant on tonight with his lies, exaggerations, personal attacks, etc., and then just calmly says "John, let's talk about the economy and how you and your Republican cronies got us in this mess." Or "John, I hope the surge does work in Iraq, but let's talk about how you and your Republican cronies got us into this misbegotten war in the first place–do you think America is safer now because of the war in Iraq?"

We may be looking at the end of capitalism as we have known it, and I hope that at the same time we're looking at the end of the Republican Party, at least as we have known it for the past three decades. That's what I think these polls are showing.

Time for the rest of the country to fall in line with Minnesota, Thanks for keeping the dream of a better America alive. More of the same is what my wallet CANNOT afford!

Dear God, I hope this country is finally waking up. Four more years of republican rule just might be enough to kill this great nation . . .

Well, I have a very low opinion on polls.

But there have been too many polls with this same positive trend to ignore. I was slightly pro-Obama untill the debates. McCain was attack, attack, attack, while Obama was giving actual solutions. Biden was actually answering the questions, while Palin was reading from a script. Obama is oficially better.

Oh, and I really have to say this about the VP debates: Palin had tha audacity to read all her answers from a script. She repeated herself about 50 billion times. She doesn't even have the dinity to use a blutooth earphone or somthing similar to get the answers to the questions; she just read the same thing, verbatum, every single time.

Don't get too comfy guys and gals… as much as I'd like to rejoice at the poll numbers we still have 4 weeks to go, not time yet to call it a victory! Complacency is a dangerous fellow!

Time to pull out of Minnesota.

Hey, John, when you fall far enough behind nationally, will you please just pull out of the country and leave us all alone?

Funny, all the mud-slinging didn't work this election. It sure has in the past. After loosing their own financial futures, people have finally found out what is important!!
OBAMA/BIDEN

Just make sure, Obama supporters, to get out and vote. Don't do as in past years and decide that since Obama is up in the polls you don't actually have to go vote. Do not get complacent. This election could end us closer than we think!

It's the economy, stupid.

Ouch!!! That one will leave a mark.

Eh. I'm wary of polls. I'm trying not to get excited about Barack gaining so much momentum lately. We'll see what happens on November 4th. I pray he gets elected, though.

Was wondering where McCains flag pin was in his last debate??
Did anyone else notice?

Shawn,

Gore and Kerry did not have the lead that Obama is having. That is the difference. Gore and Kerry were always within the margin of error.

I hope Texas will turn blue. Someday.

This race is over for McCrap and Seeya Pain. Its time to restore America's reputation before the rest of the world. The republicans still don't get it and they never will. Even after 8 painful years of Bush the dictator, people still haven't learned. Its time for a change and that change is HERE!!

Obama/Biden for President/VP for the next 8 years!!!

The thought of President Sarah Palin - OMG!

Told you guys, Minnesota has always been Obama's. And we showed the nation how serious we are about putting the country on the right track!

Love,
Minnesota

GOD BLESS AMERICA, AND SEN. OBAMA. NOW AMERICA WILLBE RESPECTED ONCE AGAIN IN THE REST OF THE WORLD.

Sigh, if only Texas would go blue. However, I will say this: I know Austin is deep blue, and Dallas seems to be trending blue, and if Houston and San Antonio are anything like Dallas, then Texas may be closer than some people think.

I really think Obama could have benefited from holding some events down here in "Bush Country"

Oh well, one can dream

Give up McShame. No one will listen to you. You're out of step and out of time.

I knew I wasn't seeing all those Obama Lawn signs for nothing. Sooo many–yippee!

Less than a month to hold onto the lead–come on Nov 4th:-)

God Bless Obama/Biden–its the only hope for the survival of America!!

Go Minnesota.

The polls are good but remember we have to GET OUT THE VOTE ON NOV 4th.

I really wish we could turn TEXAS BLUE

Happy to say that I am from Minnesota.

Anybody that votes for a Republican this year deserves a Depression. These let-the-market-rule a–holes have destroyed America and deserve no pity. As a mater of fact, the only thing that will satisfy me is the total demise of the Republican party. What a bunch of TRAITORS!!

The guys saying that they won't believe it until November 4th are correct and thank you for your posts. It is a reminder to all of us that we cannot rely on someone else to get this job done and we cannot let up until it is over. Too many times the Republican smear and fear machine along with a healthy dose of underhanded voter fraud has resulted in a crook getting elected. If you want the change to happen you need to get off your keyboards and get out and volunteer especially as we get down to the wire. These boards are fine to vent but the real difference is made at the Obama campaign offices. Do not sit back and let this one slip away because i am not sure our country will survive another 4 years of these horrible policies that McCain will continue.

I never doubted our smarts, minnesota, don't ya know…..

Gee did you wonder why after looking at your retirement account today and that is the economic policy of John McCain and George Bush.

Would you vote for John for 4 more years so that he can totally take all of your money?

A cheer will go through the land when McCain's political career comes to an end just like one of the planes he crashed.

Palin's disappearance from the public scene is just icing on the cake.

Let us not forget to bring Bush/Cheney/Rove and Rice up on charges of crimes against humanity!

I smile a little bit inside everytime i read an article like this. it would be nothing but a travesty if mccain and palin were allowed into the white house. she is dangerous incompetent. he is Bush III .. how scary is that

All that is left is for the voting machines to malfunction and Florida's "chads" to fall McCains way. Don't laugh, they could make it happen!
