JW   October 8th, 2008 8:41 pm ET

What real change has Obama offered? A secret health plan that FINES Americans who don't want it? He couldnt even answer how much the fine was during the debate. A bunch of nonsubstence air is all I've heard from him...

JW   October 8th, 2008 8:34 pm ET

I've voted for 26 years and never been called for a poll. As proven in the past the have little or no validity since they can be altered to fit a specific agenda. In my view these are just another tool the liberal news organizations are trying to use to sway voters. To bad Americans are smarter then that...

Anonymous   October 8th, 2008 8:33 pm ET

Bwhahahahahahahah It's time for a change in pace. I'm sure many of us are tired of the same old song and dance that we've had for so many years. It seems that Obama is truly sincere in his intentions.
McCain is a typical politician.

Palin is a complete idiot. She sunk the Republican ticket. Someone should have shut her up long ago.

Disgusted!!!   October 8th, 2008 8:24 pm ET

I am so disgusted with the McCain/Palin campaign right now. It's becoming so sad that out of complete desperation they are saying whatever they feel will get votes. McCain is outdated and antique. His ideas are so far removed from reality and Sarah Palin is so disgusting to me that she is getting her base so riled up they are calling Obama a terrorist and he was born in the midwest and raised by his white grandparents. Also, there are calls to kill him. Why isn't anyone speaking up on this issue. It's so pathetic how desperate they have become to win. When did are society become so low that when racial comments are hurled from the crowd there is no response by the candidate. This is why I have lost all respect for the dynamic duo. And I know I am not the only one.

Elizabeth   October 8th, 2008 8:23 pm ET

Obama~What a true Presidential one!

ANTONIO   October 8th, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Gallup has Obama up by 9?did you factor that into your poll of polls?

Amy   October 8th, 2008 8:22 pm ET

Keep doing what you're doing Obama! I'm betting that the polls conducted after the debate last night will show improvement for you. Keep it positive..keep talking about what you can do to help us and we'll help move you to the White House!

Kona   October 8th, 2008 8:21 pm ET

Good for America. Seems like all of these Fact Checks that CNN does keep saying the same thing: That McCain is full of $#|+!

That's good. I hope the lead keeps growing. I just got my mail-in ballot here in California and this is the first time I'm voting FOR a candidate rather than the lesser of bad choices. Go Obama!

SM   October 8th, 2008 8:01 pm ET

Go Obama! Keep fighting for us! The American people need you more than ever! It's really too bad McCain has chosen to walk down the road of disaster. He just doesn't get it. He has hit an all time low. My father was in the military my whole life. I was an army brat raised to be Republican. I shake my head at the Republicans now in disgrace and shame...Wheres their dignity? Wheres our war hero? What happen to you John McCain? My father would never have stooped to your level.

It's a disgrace for all the Soccer Moms and Joe Sixpack if Palin is representative of them.

chicagotrauma   October 8th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Funny, ACORN is being investigated for voter fraud in ALL of these states. Wonder why there is NOTHING on CNN about this? If the FBI had raided the nevada ACORN office, I would probably consider that news.

You are being spoonfed people.....

MCD SF   October 8th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

I just couldn't believe how many times McCain said "My Friends"... I felt like I watching a new production of "Music Man". "My friends, we've got trouble in River City..." Didn't come across as folksy at all... more like a snake-oil salesman. Palin was a bad choice but McCain just has too much going against him including himself.

Cooper   October 8th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

Anger will not solve our economic problems. Mccain is so angry that you can see it when he speaks. Slow down old man. This thing aint your personal property. It belongs to the brightest and the smartest (THAT ONE). You got it? Peace!!!!!!!

JohnWinNC   October 8th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

If John McCain thinks that the latest scare tactics of his campaign will be effective, he has another thing coming! Americans like me are SICK and TIRED of politics of the past. At one time I actually considered voting for McCain because, as an Independent, I was opposed to negative tactics being used in the Democratic primaries. Now, McCain/Palin have shown that they (and the GOP) are even worse! I am no longer impressed with McCain's past service; what I care about is what kind of person is wanting to lead our nation. Well, that has certainly been made clear! McCain has demonstrated that he does NOT have the morality, the temperament nor the judgment required to be the leaader of the free world. He might do better as head of the Taliban!

Tom   October 8th, 2008 7:59 pm ET

And one may ask, "Why?" I believe it is because we the people would rather back a candidate who understands what's wrong, what it will take to fix it, and tells us what it will cost to fix it – like my car mechanic does when my car is not working right. Obama keeps giving us specific answers that are clearly articulated and coherent . McCain continues to attack Obama's plans, probably because he didn't think of them first, and when McCain attempts to give a rare answer, it seems muddled and disjointed. It's as if he hasn't really thought about what to do himself, but is trying to rattle off someone else's ideas that he doesn't fully comprehend himself. That scares me. That makes him appear easily manipulated and not strong enough to lead us out of this mess. Maybe at one time McCain was strong and truly a maverick, but I fear those days are gone. He seems as if he may actually dealing with some serious aging issues and in four years it could be a major problem for the US.

Obama – take care of these people!

McCain – get out of town with the “beer queen” and the “six pack” you are “joke” to the free world!!!

I'm a german and also i can't vote in the usa, but i'm following this ellection very closely. The turne it has done at the McCain Campain it's very scarry.

It's not any more "Drill Baby Drill" its now more "Kill Baby Kill".

I hope the numbers vor Obama will go up eaven more than they did till now. The american and the world needs a president like Obama.

Before I comment on this article, I must say YOUR POLLS MEAN NOTHING!!! And the only poll that matters is the one that we all participate in on NOVEMBER THE FOURTH
REMEMBER REMEMBER THE FOURTH OF NOVEMBER!!!

But,
***SINGING***...This is the end my friend....my only friend, the end.

I really do enjoy hearing good news about my candidate. But I cannot allow myself nor can I allow any of my fellow OBAMABOTS become complacent. We need to STAY FOCUSED. Continue to campaign for Obama. The opposition has people who are paid to do what a lot of us are doing for free. And when I read these posts. I know that they are still hard at work despite this discouraging news. Oh and don't forget the Senate America.

VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS
VOTE FOR OBAMA

the reason why obama is slipping nationally polls of polls or some states is that the ppl care about race not the issues because if its wasn't obama w'll lead now big margin

Rob   October 8th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

The sleazy Liar attack AD's are failing. What will the old angry selfish man do next? Good thing McBush did not try his lies in the debate. That would have opened the door for Obama to discuss McCain's very close twenty year relationship with the Corporate Crook Keating. And the fact that McCains campaign manager is a Lobby crook for Fannie Mae and has been paid twenty two million dollars by Fannie. Or bring up McBush membership in the Radical Racist, Anti Semitic group 'Council for World Freedom'. Or discuss Palins close ties to the Anti american Alaska Secessionist Movement or Palins wack church that says Palin is destined to lead and that Jews are the cause of World Terrorism. Dogon good thing the debate did'nt get nasty Ya Betcha (wink wink).

Jaybee   October 8th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

As usual, McCain takes a very small portion of a larger comment/speech and implies that it is the whole content or opinion. And when the whole speech or comment is read, it's very obvious that it was a very intelligent and thoughtful comment. Oh, McCain, your and Palin's tactics are so demeaning and so transparent! Ugly. And, as usual, so distorted. Shame on you.

Brenda R. Harris   October 8th, 2008 7:53 pm ET

What happens when adults behave badly? they scream and tell lies so that the world will not see the ugly side of them. McCain and his crew are a angry lot so that is all that they have to hold them together now is their super glue lies.But everyone knows that to undo super glue you just put finger nail polish remover on the sticky stuff and it will come unglued. "GO UNGLUE THEM OBAMA .

Cindy, the chill that went tnru you rbody is not from Obama voting to end the war. It's from the illegal drugs that you are addicted to.

eugene   October 8th, 2008 7:51 pm ET

Mccain is going to win because ,their camp is going very negative,making Obama out to be a terriost,in the sad thing about it,its going to work

Rose   October 8th, 2008 7:50 pm ET

I think we should all be very afraid if Obama get elected and the majority of Dems in the House and Senate continues. The Dems will run this country right into the ground. The House and The Senate will do whatever Obama wants, right or wrong None of them have a spine especially Reid and Pelosi, they are scary.

FactCheck   October 8th, 2008 7:49 pm ET

Obama is running the most sophisticated campaign I have seen in my forty years. Even if you don't like the candidate, you can not argue that he hasn't surrounded himself with some of the brightest and insightful people on this planet. Compare this to the "old man screaming at the clouds" campaign currently under play at the McCain camp.

turks   October 8th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

McCain is suffering from the devastating effect of L.L.S. (long life syndrome) No wonder his perfromance was so blaaa.

Obama wipe the floor with him.

Jack   October 8th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Obama is ahead because he sounds like the candidate that can bring about change in America not the other candidate wandering around the stage looking for a gotcha moment.

John McCain looks as confused about whats happening in America today as his running mate looked when Curic asked her a question.

distraction king   October 8th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

Every single false charge and baseless accusation from McCain is an attempt to get people stop paying attention to what’s going on in this country.

Beyond the attacks, what is John McCain really offering?

dj   October 8th, 2008 7:47 pm ET

mccain's a dinoasaur and he and everyone in his campaign just complains. it's all they do. by the way cnn, that was one scary picture you had of cindy. GO OBI

I am so happy that our Country has finally seen the light. After the Debate, last night, there should be no more doubt about who is the winner.

Peter (CA)   October 8th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Don't get too excited right wingers...one pt is statistics.

However, I still do not want to look at the polls until after the last debate. By that point, opinions and preferences should be set. But, I have to admit, the electoral map is looking good.

Elizabeth in Seattle   October 8th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

Unless some other disastrous thing happens that affects Obama – I believe who are next president will be. HOWEVER, AMERICA, PLEASE DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ANOTHER BRADLEY EFFECT. OBAMA WILL BE ONE OF THE BEST PRESIDENTS THIS COUNTRY WILL EVER HAVE WITH THE ONE OF THE BEST VICE PRESIDENTS NEXT TO HIM IN BIDEN.

We will beable to breathe again once Obama and Biden are elected!!!!

Jeff   October 8th, 2008 7:42 pm ET

It's not hard to see why. McCain has NO FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES from Bush when it come to Healthcare, the economy, foreign affairs, or the war. McCain's healthcare plan would only give more power to the drug and insurance companies, which would raise everyones medical expenses. His economic plan that give tax breaks to the wealthy and large corparations would only add more to our 10 trillion deficit. He would worsen are already strained relations and would keep us in Iraq for way too long. He says we can win the war, but will we really win anything?

Brandon   October 8th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

As someone from FL I can say for sure I hope the people of this great state choos Obama to represent us in the White House this year !!!

Carl   October 8th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

It's not looking good for McCain. I am honestly scared for the future of our Country with Obama in charge.

election watcher   October 8th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

The economy is in the toilet, we're stuck with an unpopular war, and the President has record unpopularity/disapproval. In years past any one of these would've made a landslide for the part opposing the incumbant party. All this, PLUS Obama is spending record amounts on his campaign. So why is Obama only a few percentage points ahead?
It could be BECAUSE HE'S A LOUSY CANDIDATE!!!

Watching It All   October 8th, 2008 7:41 pm ET

Obama is leading because we (the majority of American) believe he can really take the country where we need to go. Jobs!! Stong Economy!!! Healthcare!!

And most of all, we are tired of Bush and don't want McSame/Palin

FED UP   October 8th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

What is wrong with this world and the people that live in it?! Obama should be ahead by double digits. All I can say to those that say "I haven't heard any specifics", "I'm still undecided" or "I don't know about him"....where have you been the last two years? Can you read, can you write, can you focus? A focus group on CNN last night showed a woman who sat through a 90 minute debate who stated she didn't hear anything from either candidate. Are you kidding me? Were you listening? Stop the silly focus groups NOW! I heard plenty on prioritizing versus no plan by McCain. I heard plenty on health care from both. I heard plenty on energy, I heard plenty on the war. If you don't want to vote for Obama because he's black, then vote for him because the other side of him is WHITE-STOP THE MADNESS AND LISTEN PEOPLE

Kurt   October 8th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

You say you will let your record speak for itself. So be it!! I will vote Obama, who has stood by his wife, by our veterans, by his word and by his honor!!

Speider   October 8th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

McCain and Palin's stump in PA today was outrageous. As they spoke I checked every fact I could via the internet. Lie after lie after lie. I guess they think Americans, the "hardest workers in the world," are also the stupidest.

Shame on any American who follows either candidate blindly. Listen to the issues and check the fact through SEVERAL sources and not just one. Learn what is the truth and what is not.

McCain made promise after promise today that HE could fix everything. I remember too many politicians who made huge promises and then got into office and said "or, the economy is just too bad for me to give that tax break I spoke about, but I never knew about the budget being so bad."

Are they the fools for believing us to be so naive, or are we the bigger fools for actually being naive?

Shane from LB   October 8th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

So why is the media afraid to put more states in Obama's column and put him over 270 Electoral Votes?

AZ Dem for McCain   October 8th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Can Obama tells us what kind of CHANGE he's talking about?

All I see from his plans is leaving us with small change in our wallets, just how does he plan on paying for all the social programs he wants other than thru more taxes for everyone?

Tiff of lithia springs   October 8th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Cecil took my line. But most Americans are tired of the mudslinging.
I watched the debate 2 and I think Obama won because he had more substance. He could have done better.

I did like McCains idea about buying homes for citizens and renegotiating the loans. I don't know how it would get paid for.

McCain/Palin should be a good idea. At least I have trust in them.

Sam Benegal   October 8th, 2008 7:36 pm ET

'That one" has now 264 Electoral Votes; all he needs to carry just 1 state with with more than 6 votes from any of those 8 battle ground Red states to seal the deal. Mcclueless needs to carry all those 8 states (Which is highly unlikely)...

Any fabre   October 8th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Bless God, can't wait to send Mcsame to a nursing home in Arizona and Sarah back to Alaska to be a mother as it seems she is dragging those children every where, she is pathetic.

Rozzie   October 8th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

John MSane has everyone scared to death; especially having Gidget as his VP choice. Breathe insane your old heart can't take too much more of these poll numbers. Maybe if you wasn't such a LIAR people would trust you a little, but since we don't have fun back on the senate floor. maybe go apologize to your ex wife for cheating on her. karma is a ---

Goodbye, Mr. McCain.

oscar   October 8th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Mc Cains face is melting from shame. Polls dont mean much unless your into flavor of the moment analysis. Its real simple "my friends" the "you betcha" backwards thinking policy and ignorant stance on foreign policy is not what America needs. Barack Obama is "that one" who will bring relevance and stature back to the white house and America. Ignorance , Arrogance and lack of foresight of the last 8 years has brought nothing but anxiety and fear . Those of you who actually believe in the status quo as safe are asking for more hardship on your selves. Dont let fear cloud your minds your smarter than that.

Will   October 8th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

A better headline: No hope for McCain!

Tyrone Brown   October 8th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Democrats and all those who support the Obama/Biden ticket must not be fooled by the polls. There is still much work to do between now and November 4th to get everyone registered and out to vote. Obama has a good chance of winning this election, but we must be DISCIPLINED and DILIGENT in making sure these last few weeks count. So, keep your head down, keep talking to your friends, family members and neighbors about Obama and Biden, and keep everyone focused on the end goal – making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States.

No wonder Obama is leading. McCain hasn't humiliated himself enough with Palin. Now, he has to add Cindy to the mix. Is this supposed to make McCain look more like a tough guy? I don't think so.

Zeke   October 8th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

Looking at your explanation of how the polls are conducted leads me to believe that you shouldn't be calling it "poll of polls" and very skeptical on accuracy.

mmd   October 8th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Hey CNN, why not report that mccain referred to the group of people in PN as my fellow prisoners, and never missed a beat. He is senile.

And cindy referring to Obama not funding the troops, her husband voted against a bill to fund the troops also.
Do anyone know who the fat girl is on the stage with the mccains.

Andy - Atlanta, GA   October 8th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Obama's lead is slipping fast! I do not blame the GOP for the new smear/fear tactics. I blame the American public for buying it.

Independent Now Voting for Obama   October 8th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Until this past weekend, I was undecided. But when the John McCain/Palin/Cindy McCain ticket started insinuating that Obama was a terrorist sympathizer they lost my vote and my respect.
These attacks are perfect "red meat" for the Republican base but poison to me, an Independant , looking for leadership and answers.

DC   October 8th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

This is just the start. A lot of people had their preconceived notions about who these guys are, but the more people get to know Obama ... and the more they get to know McCain ... the better it will be for Obama. (Has everyone read the article on the Rolling Stone website about McCain? It's a must read!) This is besides the fact that Obama's policies are far better for most Americans. I understand that there is still the race factor, but I would like to think that most Americans are more reasonable than to let that be the basis for their vote .... particularly when the country is in so much trouble. By election day, it shouldn't even be close.

bec   October 8th, 2008 7:29 pm ET

i know this is off topic, but thank god we didn't privatize social security like bush wanted to. then this financial crisis would be a real nightmare.

Sam Benegal   October 8th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Like or not MCShame/McPalin or all Repugs starting next November 5th you need to get use to "That One" the President Elect/President "Obama".

This is most unpresidential comment ever heard in US Political History. "That one" is not an average Joe, he is the Presidential Candidate of a Major Political Party....

Mike Kaplan   October 8th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Cindy McCain thinks she is running for something! Those three (McCains/Palin) are so out of touch, so entitled in their own minds, and so not what our country needs ,now or ever. Keep working everyone-our country and Obama can't loose this election.

CM   October 8th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

demobrat...you could also chalk that up to discrepancies within the samples taken. In any case it shows a definite trend due to your candidate's campaign implosion.

It'll climb from here. Mathematical models have Obama with a 90% chance of winning this election at this point. Hold on to that 10%, its gonna recede fast.

Frank   October 8th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

This is all because of the mess that moron, G.W. Bush has created in this country in the past 8 years! Why isn't he being held responsible for the thousands of lives lost during a ridiculous war, and why isn't he being held responsible for the mess our economy is in now? Lets at least impeach this moron and make sure that his legacy is ruined for ever! The Bush family should never show their face in politics!!!!

Mark   October 8th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

To "dEMOBRAT" -

Uhhh, his national popular vote lead is slipping (slightly), but who gives a hoot about that? His lead is increasing in key states, and it's those states that matter. Sure, goofballs in states like Oklahoma and Wyoming may be falling for the McCain 100% negative tactics and going even further into McCain's camp, but that really doesn't matter in the end. A few battleground states matter.

Leah,Texas   October 8th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Mary 55yo white woman   October 8th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

Seniors need to realize McCain will cut medicare and try to ,at least partially-if not totally,privitize social security. Boomers need to realize that it was Reagon's borrowing from Social Security and "free market" frenzy that started this mess. If you want to be sick and on the street when you get older-vote for McCain. Free Market means freedom for the wealthist and corporations to rob the rest of us. Thomas Jefferson knew that extreme wealth of the few would lead to their power (lobbyists) to influence the State ( adminastation). That is why he taxed the wealthy in ratio to what they earned. This is fair NOT Socialism. The moral / values party should use the same principle to tax as their church does-by the percent you have and make.

donna   October 8th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

Let's keep the excitement going. Let's not have all talk and no action. We should go to the polls in record numbers on November 4th. My birthday is November 7th, what a great birthday it will be for me to see Obama win the white house.

David   October 8th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

I hear the train a-comin'; it's rolling round the bend........Obama will win by a landslide. Nice to have met all you mavericks, joe-six packs, moose killers, and scare crows. (that's you cindy) I can't think of a better First Family in the white house than the Obama family. I wonder what juicy lies and racist remarks you will come up with now.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Obama/Biden.....the right choice

Don   October 8th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

to Demobrat

Obama's lead slipping??

Look at the electoral map. He could lose florida and nevada, but as long as he has Ohio it's his.

The headline could also read, "Obama has enough electoral votes to win the election."

I like the sound of that one best.

Vahagn   October 8th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

yea and it could also read

"Obama leading in over 360 electoral votes"

mitch   October 8th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

the hotline poll is right-wing and skewers cnn's poll of polls. get better sources cnn. gallup daily tracking has obama 52% to mccain 41%. an 11 point lead for barack.

more aware   October 8th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

To Obama supporters: Lets not get too confident. Lets all still work as hard as we would if we were one point behand. We can fully trust the polls or the republicans.

Proud to be American   October 8th, 2008 7:16 pm ET

YES, YES and did I say yes..... it is time for change! You Betcha and yes Joe it is so (smile). <== I knokw that was in poor taste but the McCain Smear and Fear Camp made me go there. I saw on UTube the audience (not diverse at all) saying evil things about Obama .. threaten his life and Palin appear to thrive on that .... that scares me .... using his middle name prior to her and McCain introduction is just a way to raise fear and hatred.... that is horrible and to think that if America does not do the right thing or the Polling officials cheat these hate & war mongers may get into the office.... please be viligent with your vote and ensure it is counted correctly.

Obama and Biden 2008 for the sake of America!

But it's not because his net lead is growing more than it is slipping so try again. After last night's debate, it will grow larger, much to your dismay.

Schneider (I) - CA   October 8th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

Unless Obama is ahead by 12-15 pts (or more), this thing is not over. Washing of voter rolls, disqualification of foreclosed residents, suspicious tallies, a lack of a paper trail for many precincts...all suggest that anything can happen.

MarioB. from Berlin for OBAMA/BIDEN   October 8th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

well, even if it slips in some states... don't forget about the early votings!

Obama's lead is amazing, absolutely. Look at RealClearPolitics:
it's always up-to-date and have a look!
Without Toss-Ups...OBAMA LEADS BY 190 POINTS!!!!

OBAMA – 364 (!!!!!!!!!!)
McSAME – 274(haha)

wtg Barack. And in next week's Economy debate Obama has to clean house and McSame can attack as he wants until then and from then to Nov. 4th. He won't have ANY CHANCE!

Obama/Biden in a landslide!!!!!!!

I don't know how any serious person could possibly vote for McShame. He has done nothing but lie and stir discontent. Haven't we had enough of that? 8 year too much! His rallies have turned into thinly disguised Klan rallies, since Palin came on board. It is sickening and scary. And they want to pretend that they are Christians. Who would Jesus bear false witness against? What crowd would He wipe up to a frenzy to get them to yell dangerous, hateful things. People need to wake up! Is this what America has become? Let's look for the better Angels in all of us. PLEASE!

Mc Cain it's time to tell Cindy that you voted against the funding for the war also so maybe you should stand in her shoes also. YOU were the one who did not vote because of a time line (and still don't) not Obama....he voted against it because it was not giving the soldiers all the protection they needed to fight this cause. Don't you think people pay attention?

tiffany in ohio   October 8th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

why is McCain's rallies full of hate an Obama's rallies full of hope an happiness. An did anybody notice how ashamed Megan McCain looked at her own fathers rally. She looked scared an disappointed by her dad an his campaign. I like to use common sense an read body language an hers told it all.

Sarah Palin is Obama's best friend.   October 8th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Sarah is winning this election for Obama. Just her addition to the ticket will cancel any bradely effect. She is the single factor that will cost McCain this election. If he'd picked anyother peron, this lead would have been smaller!!!!!!

It is sad what McCain has devolved into. I am so proud to be supporting Barack Obama and even if he doesn't win, at least I can now say with utter pride that I did not vote for the other guy.

McCain-Palin are demonstrating to me each day that they are willing say and do anything to secure the White House, even if it means fostering hate, racism, fear, and anger.

If Americans really want conditions in this nation to improve, then the choice is clear-VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN!

If you want to continue living in fear, hatefulness, bitterness, and anger-then by all means vote for McCain-Palin. Don't whine and complain when nothing changes and things get worse!

Dear Friends:
How should parents talk to children and in front of them each and all ages about the present economic and financial crisis, election and all the lost homes?
Christmas is coming and Thanksgiving keep them from non believe. A child lost to fear, anger, anxiety, confusion, how and what to say and to give for gifts or basic needs to offer real security! A nation and a world lets not make it go into another generation!
Hurricanes, tornadoes, real professionals, psychologists and psychiatrists the time of desperate need is nigh! I say cloths, a bed, blankets, food, roof, a toy, a book, one for each and a library! Faith and friends! Can we give and share and help!
Right in your own family guilt for having when others lose or are they consious of this? Friends our children and do not forget the teens. Keep them safe and out of trouble and drugs or depression.
Share with a friend. You too college students or age!

daniel   October 8th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

The next move would be McCain and Palin get endorsement from KKK and other Facist groups to encourage violence and anti-sematic statements.
OBAMA has a vision, solution and people will vote for him.

This will be a landslide. Obama's campaign is way too sharp to pull up lame before the finish line, and McCain's Ayers and Wright connections aren't enough to offset the disastrous economy. We may be looking at a 100+ electoral college vote differential.

Oh my! John McCain has gone wild and negative, but his negativity is not good enough to turn the tide against his opponent. And this is what it truly means to be Barack Obama in this day and age.
