CNN

My prayers goes out to all of those republican who put there hopes and faith as well as money in Senator John McCain and Gov Sarah Palin campaign..

You can come and join us there is room at the victory party.. Reserve You seats now....

So many fires (to put out), so little time...

Here's the deal:
I'm sure (and hope) John McCain is a good man. I do think that he does not have control over his campaign and is overwhelmed by what is happening to him. From time to time he wakes up and realizes that the Bush-Rove operatives have gone too far and brings back the John McCain America once knew. Unfortunately even if I don't blame him, this is a horrible lack of leadership and shows that if he can't control his campaign, how will he control this country?

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them": On the way to the whitehouse!

lol at this article.. too bad obama is gonna lose this election.. because ive heard that he was born in kenya... that disqualifies him...so hahahahaha

mccain/palin 08

In SC...one of the reddest of the red...there are usually yard signs in every yard, mostly backing the republican ticket with a few dems scattered. This election, n-o-t-h-i-n-g! No McCain-Palin yard signs, no Obama signs...I truly think Obama will do better here than anyone has since Carter. I predict landslide that the polls can't measure.

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Polls don't mean anything. Roll up the sleeves and work even harder.

Repubs have already laid the groundwork for disenfranchising voters with the Help America Vote Act. We'll see the results of their handy work soon.

When you hate, instead of trying to communicate, what you get is what you've got....

Let's just keep taking it one day at a time. People think about a question Mr. Regan asked: Are you better off today – No!!! This is a great country and even the stupid (Republicans) get a vote, but thank God the electoral college was designed to help the nonintelligent choose a President!!!

Ex-Republican

The McCain-Palin campaign has done a wonderful job insulting Americans' intelligence. It's not about race, or terrorism. It's about having a President who can effectively lead us. Obama brings people together. McCain drives us apart. Republicans, Democrats, conservatives and liberals alike are all aware of this fact.

Latino for McCain
October 13th, 2008 3:18 pm ET

McCain will still win in November. Obama's lead is superficial. With the way things are going, he should have been miles ahead. The fact that he can't – says a lot!

________________________________________________________

You're right, it does say a lot. Says a lot about how Bush and Rove have driven a wedge between people with [R] and [D] after their names. Senator McCain attacks Senator Obama, while Senator Obama gives Senator McCain credit, where it is due, and calls on all Americans, both [R] and [D] to work together to help get through these tough times.

Obama peaked too soon........I'm confident McCain will get the momentum moving into the final weeks.

McCain/Palin '08

That "wide gap" is called a CREDIBILITY GAP.

To date we have had:

“Palling around with terrorists” – the Hate Talk Express
“I’m getting angry” – the Irate Talk Express
“I’m suspending my campaign” – the Wait Talk Express
“My friends” – the Mate Talk Express
“Hair transplants” – the Pate Talk Express
Every word Sarah Palin says – the Grate Talk Express

Just about everything but the Straight Talk we were promised

Go Virginia, Indiana, Nevada!

Come on GA!
All you smart, sensible people, get out there and say "YES WE CAN!"

Obama!

No Obama. No not never!!!

Bet McCain wishes he never heard the name Sarah Palin!

Thank you CNN for the great coverage of this election season.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Yay!

AMERICA FOR OBAMA!

If you really care for our future and love this country, get up and vote. Vote for them, I mean Obama-Biden.

Tired of this repub party. McCain, I am very disappointed.

I am gratified to see/hear that the slander and smears used in previous elections is not being "bought" by the electorate this time around.....wow, have we learned our lesson? How nice would that be.

FACT:

Say it loud and say it clear!

"The next President and Vice President of the United States BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA and JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN!"

Be proud of our candidate's full names.

It does look like we are headed for a change with media bias and ACORN helping to elect Obama. THE CHANGE- USSA-UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA>

I really used to respect John McCain... I thought he was honest, had the best interests of the USA at heart, and had courageously served his country... first in the miliatary and then in the Senate... but what a difference a few years make. Now, he's out of touch with both reality and the majority of people in this country, his negative campaigning makes me instantly turn the page or the channel, and looking at him reminds me of the past... We need a new direction in this country. No politician is without faults and Obama is not perfect; however, I hope and pray that Obama can truly lead this country and return us to a place of honor, truth, intregrity, responsibility, and possibility. God bless America!!!

Pretty sad considering both candidates aren't that great.

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them."
"The fundamentals of our economy are strong"

McCain is becoming the political equivalent of Baghdad Bob.

This media manipulation is absolutely sickening. Constant McCain/Palin bashing with no credibility, while ignoring and suppressing questionable and concerning aspects of Obama. A new "Poll" CNN claims. Do your research and LOOK at how they gather their statistical data – an absolute farce by any professional standard, and deliberately skewed. It certainly is in the media's best interests to "market" their boy – lots of $ to made in this product, to be sure. What a joke our "democracy" has become.

More evidence of media bias. Now we're getting the "Will Obama suffer from the 'Bradley effect?'" articles as seen on the CNN web site. Bradley was 1982. Buried under the headline is a point that it hasn't been seen in recent state elections. Is this simply an attempt to gain a reverse Bradley effect by imposing the guilt factor?

Look, barring a major Obama screwup, e's going to win the election and it won't be that close. But should he screwup, does this stuff just provide an excuse, or perhaps even worse?

I have already voted early for Obama. McCain needs to retire.

Nov 4th cannot come soon enough! I am so so tired of being subjected to Sarah Palin I could puke hockey pucks.
It was really interesting to see how Palin was receieved by the tens of thousands of hockey fans at the opening of the Philly and Ranger game. She was on the ice for 90 seconds and the boo's that smoothered the small applause lasted 90 seconds. That is a very clear sign that unless she is in front of the GOP faithful she does not receive a warm welcome from your everyday JOE SIX PACKS and HOCKEY FANS.

After eight years of a moron, we will have an intelligent man in the White House., hope it is not too late to save our Country...

I really wish the media would stop stirring the pot. There is plenty of work to do. As an Obama supporter, I'm not willing to write off McCain until after all the election results are in.

Why is CNN not reporting that the Iraqi stock market is booming... Once again, Obama is right about the war and McCain is wrong...

They went about shredding Obama's character. They used code names to call him a character. I just hope those two kids and their mum have not been watching TV for the last two weeks.

I could not believe McCain would condone people, of all people his running mate Sarah Palin, to smear Obama in such a ruthless manner.

Obama is a man of candor. Throughout the campaign, Obama has not called McCain or Sarah Palin names. He has been a very cool politician. It pays to be cool.

Obama supporters are smart and educated. They know what is at stake. They are definitely voting for someone who understand the problems of the 21st century.

Nov 4th cannot come soon enough! I am so so tired of being subjected to Sarah Palin I could puke hockey pucks.

Don't forget "He was a POW" too....

Will Sarah Palin explain why her husband is sooo involved in her job? If she's a heartbeat away from becoming president, will Todd be the one making the decisions? If so, we should know ALOT more about him! Alaska independence Party – Anyone?

"MY FRIENDS, WE'VE GOT THEM JUST WHERE WE WANT THEM."

Sounds to me like he is thinking of us as his ENEMY......

SCAREY

yeah – this is america the land of Florida supreme courts and ohio voting machines. I'll believe it when Obama is being sworn in on January 20th alive and well.

Crush them, Barack. They deserve a beating!! OBAMA BIDEN 08!!

We the people have decided that we don't want a mean old man who could well expire before his first term is over, or a woman who thinks she can see Russia from her backyard leading our country. That's why the McCain-Palin ticket continues to plummet in the polls.

It's too late for McCain to come up with a consistent campain message, even if it's new. First it was experience, then it was change, then it was country first, now he is the fighter. This constant erratic lurching from one theme to another is just too tiresome to pay attention to. Sure, Obama is going to win- with or without help from John McCain.

My friends, I'm not winning and so once again I'll change my strategy and say what the people want to hear. And at the same time I'll charge my opponent Senator Obama with doing and saying anything to get the vote.

Item number 21 that Obama and McCain have in common.

Who is really running for the people.

All the ditto heads like to imply that last week when the DOW was down that somehow, it was Obama's fault and all investor's were moving money offshore.

Well, today he unveiled his economic plan and the dow is up 600+.

Looks like the investor's have headed all the yachts back to Wall Street!

As others have stressed, and as I will stress as well. For us Obama supporters this is not over until each and every one of us cast our ballots and had them counted. I was accused of being a sheep for supporting Senator Obama, but see, I have looked at all the candidates, including 3rd party, and Senator Obama is the one that not only shares a lot of my ideals, but who I think shows reasonable judgment and good ideas. I must also say that at least he has ideas. Senator McCain's speech today included saying three times, that he had a plan for this or that, and yet again, no details, no substance on what those plans were. My point being, maybe Senator Obama's are not the best ideas, but at least he has them, and they have substance. I am a graduate student pursuing an MBA, so for those of you who cry out "Marxist" and "Socialism", I don't think you know what those mean, and don't realize, how wrong you are. Besides that fact, as my history professor told us once, "Socialism, is not a dirty word", its just been perverted by fascists and dictators.

Why would you want a President who can't control his temper.

It's not over till it's over people!!

It's a lot bigger then a GAP! He is losing Arizona Big Time.
People here are pulling those McCain/Palin bumper stickers off. Dear Johnny and Sarah, you lost the Election!

BTW:
The last resort of all Failing Republican Campaigns is to energize the base, Right Wing Looneys! Sure they are mad, they are waking up from a long peaceful Bush slumber, to find two morons [McCain/Palin], with a disturbing megalomaniac love affair with themselves, out of touch with our Nations true issues, and engaging in a revolting Smear and Fear campaign! That's a tough wake up call, "MY FRIENDS"!
The McCain inept solution is an Ignorant Slang Talking Power Hungry Junk Yard Dog [Palin] scampering around the Nation drumming up Racist Bigotry. The obvious erratic incompetence of the McCain/Palin campaign should provide evidence enough that they are unfit for any public office. Americans face the hardest financial disaster in the History of the USA, this is your idea of Change/Solutions/Ansewrs! John McCain / Sarah Palin have no idea what Americans trying to survive face. 401K plans gutted, Unemployment, Foreclosures, and the Global Economy in disarray...
McCain/Palin are a disgusting self serving disgrace. Clearly proving they are not up to the complex task of keeping the Nation together in hard times.

P.S. McCain, please do not come back here to Arizona.

McCain will lose the election by 100 electoral votes!! There will be more Blue on the map than ever before. Tens of thousands of new people are registering to vote...and the large majority of them will not be voting for McCain/ Palin.
I will vote after work on 11/04/08, go home and make some popcorn and surf the channels and watch the results come it!!

I love THAT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN IS A TOOL AND SARHA IS A GARDEN TOOL!

As much as I don't agree with Mccain and I do think Obama is the better candidate, you can't help but feel sorry for Mccain.He means well, but can't queit articulate his ideas or doesn't have any.

I feel for him, but he aint' getting my vote!

MCCAIN HAD A VERY, VERY GOOD CHACNE OF WINNING THIS ELECTION UNTIL HE MADE THE FATAL ERROR OF CHOOSING PALIN.

I THINK HE REALIZED IT EARLY ON, BUT KNEW IF HE DROPPED HER FROM THE TICKET THAT IT WOULD PROVE WHAT MOST ARE BEGINNING TO REALIZE NOW, THAT HE HAS LOUSY JUDGMENT AND MAKES DECISIONS IN A VERY SCHIZOPHRENIC, ERRATIC MANNER WITH VERY LITTLE THOUGHT.

THAT MAKES ANY MAN OR WOMAN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

YOU NEED LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THE LAST 8 YEARS!

As McCain comes out with his 'Message of the Day"tm Obama continues to strike a steady course with fresh ideas with a Presidential demeanor. McCain can't even keep the message straight between him and the gimmick running mate from day to day. Who do you trust to be a leader?

"We have 22 days to go. We're 6 points down," John McCain's campaign.

Denial may be river in Egypt, but it also runs pretty strong in John McCain's campaign.

There's HOPE, folks–real hope that things can get better here in the U.S.
Obama '08! Sooner or later, truth and integrity will win because at the core, these are what everyone really wants and deserves.
Say goodbye to the politics of fear, and have courage! As Obama himself says–it's not about him, it's about us!

I agree keep it moving at a good pace guys!!!!!

JOBS, JOBS, JOBS!!!!!

OBAMA '08

That is exactly why "THAT ONE" will be PRESIDENT OBAMA TO ALL THOSE WHO STILL HAVE THEIR HEAD BURIED IN THE SAND.....

CAN ANYONE SAY......OBAMA LANDSLIDE!!!!!

BUZZARDS KORNER
OBAMA/BIDEN08

This thing will close a bit before the actual election. A little stability returned to the markets, some good attack ads my the McCain campaign, and maybe an Obama gaffe or two, and this thing is right back in play.

But hpefully, hopefully, overall this shows that Americans are finally coming to their senses. That they recognise the current disaster in Iraq, the environment, and now our economy are a direct result of republican policies. Maybe now they are realizing that brains and intellect don't mean out-of-touch and elitist, but rather competent and capable. Perhaps now people will come to their senses and vote Obama.

Although it is looking great, It is not over ......Obama/Biden supporters do no get complacent. Take absolutely nothing for granted.

The reason Obama/Biden's poll numbers are up is simple; they've run a positive campaign on the issues and don't personally attack and incite supporters to kill the opposition.

McCain and Palin resorted to dirty politics and the American people are sick of it after 8 years of Bush-Cheney.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

GO O AND JOE!! Let's remind Senator McSame that being a "fighter" also means calm, steady non-inflammtory leadership; the kind we haven't seen from him or Caribou "Ms. Abuse of Power" Barbie. I'm thrilled to read the details of Obama's economic plan released today. It's way past time someone quit taxing unemployment benefits (having drawn unemployment myself, it would be a very welcome relief). Now, if someone would only put price controls on the costs of groceries....

John McCain chose a "Country First" mantra, and then turns around
and selects the most unqualified and hardheaded woman(like Bush),
with no foreign policy experience whatsoever, with a very dangerous persona to possibly be President of the country. How is SHE going to
protect us. No disrespect , but McCain's judgment allowed him to
crash planes and get captured. Heaven forbid of he gets captured
again while asleep in the White House. Sara Palin has already proven
to be corrupt with Un American agenda. Top that off with her gross
nonqualifications and we have a recipe for disaster. Voters, think
twice about allowing the Republicans to fool this country again.

Is this the first time in history that a presidential and vice presidential nominee..ON THE SAME TICKET... have both been under investigation for "ethics violations"??

White 69 Women Republican voting proudly for OBAMA- As a republican from Ohio i am casting my vote to Barack he has shown leadership and brilliance that are rear in presidents. I once respected Mccain but after Palin was selected as VP my perception of him changed , he didnt choose more qualified individuals like Romney. It time for America to select the first MIXED race to the president of the UNITED STATE Barack OBAMA

Where is Senator Mc Cain's FLAG PIN ?????????????????

What most people don't realize is that these polls
don't include newly registered voters. These polls
are of the same people that voted in 2004.
I can't imagine what the poll would look like
that included everyone. I just know it would be
a lot more in favor of Barack Obama.

John McCain, Sarah Palin pallin around with idiots!

Three weeks until the election. I can't wait until it is over because this country that I love with all heart is becoming so divided. I can see hatred sprewing out of people especially at those republician rally events. We are one nation under God. We need to start act like we are.

Simple! As the gap widens, there is determination to prove that for once and all change is needed and wanted. Yet, we are leery of the tactics. We complain alot but someone somewhere is doing worse and we need to recognize that someone is suffering more than ourselves.

McCain has hardly a welcoming persona. The leads are much more than what is shown. November 4 will stop this madness and enter the world of the cleanup,

No, Senator McCain, the media has NOT written you off. I am sure there will still be some dirty tricks up your sleeve, and we cannot relax or let our guard down until after the election.

Obama-Biden 2008

CNN, when are you going to update the Electoral Map already... there are a few states that need to be changed from yellow to blue!

I just hope America do what they suggests. Obama.Biden '08.

Giving your opponent credit for a good ideas tells me that Obama value what works and not just what will get you elected. While I don't favor some of Obama's stands on social issues, I know that people who get things done, do so based on good ideas and steady strategy– Obama's campaign has shown both.

Independent voting for Obama

It doesn't suprise me at all.

Please get out and vote! Before Senator McCain selected Gov. Palin as his running mate, I would have been very upset if he won. Since that choice was made I would be terrified. We need to vote to make sure that it does not happen.

Nevada will be BLUE November 4th!!!!!!!

Looks like all the rhetoric and hate that McConfusion and Alaska Barbie are not ringing true to most Americans with a brain. Each day his campaign gets more and more pathetic. I guess McCain thinks that if he keeps repeating baseless claims, unguided optimism, and hate that eventually us Americans will just buy into it. He has offered no fixes for any of our problems and now even his own party is frustatrated with him. See ya later Mr. McCain...Hopefully Palin will disappear as well. Maybe she can go back to Alaska and shoot a moose.

it's shows how many friends McCain has!!! He calls everyone
"My friends" that tells you how confuse the man is! Than he picks a loser form Alaska that violates the law as Governor, imagine what she would do as VP of the US??????????????? And she wishes the VP should have more power!

Jobs Baby, Jobs NOT Drill Baby, Drill to make people with 13 cars and 7 houses richer

whoo we HE IS SO TIRED! MCCAIN IS JUST TOO OUT OF TOUCH, OUT OF LUCK, OUT SCEAMS, OUT OF CHANCES, OUT OF LIES, OUT SMEARS, OUT OF GIMMICKS;

MOST OF ALL MCCAIN IS OUT OF TIME!

obama will win florida.. heck, obama will win the republican stronghold of florida, jacksonville....

and i heard mccain is going on about fight fight fight again, doesnt he understand, americans are tired of fighting, others and ourselves...

mccain just doesnt get it..lol

obama/biden 08

what a joke mccain and palin are. how come cable news is not talking about palin's abuse of power and her husband being involved?????
I do not want them running our country. Lets not forget that mccain was involved with the keating 5 and one of his campaign people sat on the same board ayyers her name annaberg???? why is no one talking about this palin abuse her powers

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them." Is it me or is McCain sounding more and more like former Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf otherwise known "Baghdad Bob"?

No McCain the media has not wrtten you off, you and Palin have self emploded. The polls, although can be slanted, are telling you McCain that most of America will not support you. Sure, McCain will have people vot e for him, some because they like him, some because they hate Obama. But the fact remains, when you decided to pick a person for the reasons of because you, McCain, bought into the media hype that there were 18 million people, in particular lot's of women who were PUMA's, you guessed wrong. Then you have wasted so much time doing exactly what Kerry did in 2004, to much talking about the "that one" and nothing about what you are going to do. So now you find yourself scrambling for votes. Too late. I don't believe that there is 8% undecided, I think almost all people have made thier choice. And it is Barack Obama, unfortunately for you McCain. I wish you well Senator and I hope your lapse of judgement, your ill-advised descisions and your foolish gambling does not cost you your Senate seat. You are a good man Senator McCain, there are some good things that you have been part of on the hill, but you are not nor will be a good President. You should have stuck to what got you here in the first place. You may have had a chance on beating Obama. Obama has too much support and too many of us who are willing to vote him in, than more of your supporters who are anti democrat party or even racist. Good luck in 2012 Republican Party, maybe next time you will wise up and choose a Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul or Chuck Hagel to go up against Obama.

obama is first down and glory to go!. he will not be denied as he will score on the first play, win the game ,and most importantly,we will take our country back under president obama!

Look at the happy Lemmings in the picture, ready to jump off the cliff for no apparent reason!

Obama has no experience on economy or foreign policy, but he reads a speech real good. Pelosi and Reid will be running this country. Obama doesn't have a clue and you are willing to give him the keys to the White House. You want to ignore all of radical left anti-american friends. The signs are there. Just like the signs were there when people elected George Bush.

Have anyone noticed that Todd Palin name isn't mentioned anywhere on the John McCain website as opposed to Jill Biden?

Vote for less war & more Jobs – Vote Obama '08

"They forgot to let you decide..."? Ummmm where does McConfused think the poll numbers come from?

In reverse, I don't trust the polls. So if you're voting for Obama don't get lazy now, there is still work to be done.

It's the beginning of the end. There are just too many things going wrong for McCain and Palin. Even those who would normally vote Republican merely because they always do vote Republican are beginning to see that, this time around, the Republican ticket is badly flawed. Thanks to President Bush's complete lack of control over the past 8 years which has cratered our economy, McCain and Palin have to not only fight the Democrats, but the legacy of their president as well. I would expect, like Hillary, they will begin to spend campaign funds like drunken sailors, as they slip into complete denial about their chances, but since they won't actually change anything in their strategy, their campaign will crater in about a week. They'll keep going through the motions, spewing lies and hatred and fear, but this time around only the terminally stupid are listening. It's over.

Every 4 year it's the same old thing, widen the gap between the two candidates (Your candidate in the lead) to sway opinions and as the election process comes to an end, conveniently tighten the "gap" to a more realistic percentage so you don't look like an idiot if your candidate loses.

CNN and others got burned badly in 2004 after steadily putting Kerry in the lead in their "Poll of Polls" to sway the publics opinion that Kerry was going to win....And we know what happened there...

I predict CNN will be "tightening" the gap in the next 20+ days to just a couple of percentage points between McCain/Obama, so as to cover their tail a little better this year with their corrupt polling numbers.

All our hard work is about to pay off. Woo hoo! Obama/Biden '08!

Palin wants to expand the role of Vice President and now Troopergate. We're listening.

Come On America Dont Be Foolish Again...
Dont vote for someone you can drink a Beer knowing that you NEVER WILL. That kind of Tricknology got us in the RUT we are in TODAY!!
There is WAAAYYY TOOO MUCH AT STAKE to allow your prejudice's decide who will govern this country!!! We NEED INTELLIGENT & CONSIDERATE LEADERSHIP!!!!

THINK!!!!
THINK!!!!
THINK!!!!
THINK!!!!

Now that you thought about it ....

Barack Your Vote 08!!!!!

Please, someone tell McCain to stop saying "my friends". It is sickening!!!!!

McCain had said last week that he was unveiling yet another soup du jour economic plan today, but doesn't come through. Instead he is on the defensive with another "strategy" to win more votes declaring that he is a fighter. He has been wobbling all over the place trying different stunts, like the bailout campaign suspension (which never happened by the way), he won't debate and then he will... what is the message he is sending to Americans? If you judge him by his campaign, he is unstable. Whereas Barrack is steady on the course, calm, cool, thinking through the next steps, laying out plans and following them. Let me see now, which man would make a better president? Barrack Obama 08

October 13th, 2008 3:07 pm ET

Read CNN's Tara Wall, contributing editor to CNN…she says that Obama and Bush aren't that far apart…more of the same then, eh

Did you realize that lately Bush has been trying to implement Obama's policies. Don't be fooled by the report. Many suggestions and reflections of an Obama Presidency have been implemented by Bush. I say kudos to Bush for knowing a good idea when he hears it even if it wasn't provided by a Republican.

Obama/Biden '08...the only choice for me

CNN....one day McCain is gaining..the next he is down big time.....can't make up your mind? ?

Why can't you report the truth??....that Obama is over 270 outside the margin of error.

MSM (CNN)=pathetic

Let's send Palin back to Alaska!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HEY ADRIAN:

GOT TAHT RIGHT, BUT FOR THOSE DIE-HARD REPUBLICANS AND THE ONES WHO CONTINUE TO DRINK THE KOOL-AID, IT'S A LOST CAUSE.

PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES "UNDEDCIDED" AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE. EVERYONE WHO IS GOING TO VOTE ALREADY KNOWS WHOM THEY WILL VOTE FOR.

I HAVE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT "UNDECIDED" VOTERS JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO SAY THEY VOTED FOR THE WINNER AND THAT IS WHY THEY WILL NOT COMMIT TO A CANDIDATE LIKE THE REST OF US.

He actually said "My friends, we've got them just where we want them."
!?!

OH my!

Why is McCain closing the gap on most other polls - but it's widening on CNN. Hmmmm! Could it be they were just polling thier news team!

McCain is trying to turn his campaign around, while Obama is focused on turning America around....It amazes me...there are three weeks left until Election day and McCain still has no message....while Senator Obama has been consistant with the same message of change.

If you have not done so, please read Sen. Obama's economic plan...I am excited about the direction in which he wants to take our country...and I can see the vision...

What happened to the plan Sen. McCain was going to release today...don't be surprised if he is not revising it right now, and when it is finally released it sounds just like the one we heard today from real LEADERSHIP!

We still need to get out and vote to make it official.........

Does McCain remind anyone else of Baghdad Bob right now with his claim that they've "got [Obama] just where we want him"?

Why are you ignoring the TIm Mahoney mistrsess scandal?!? You hammered Mark Foley over the same indescretion!

This is fabulous news, but we cannot rest until November 5th, Obama is not elected until all the votes are counted.

McCain, i am NOT your friend. I'm THAT ONE's friend.

Obama 08-12

The more McCain drops, the uglier his smears get.

hmmm, never underestimate the republican machine folks.
However, I will completely loose all faith in this corrupt political system, if obama loses. Unless, the polls start turning around and it actually looks like McCain won fair and square...but I don't really see that happening....

We have to respect that Mr. Obama is running a clean and honorable campain and therefore should be our next President.

Obama/Biden 08/12

STEADY AS SHE GOES !!!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08' and 12'

As the poles go up for Obama, McCain and Palin are franticaly trying to save the traditional red States from going blue...sorry, to little to late!!!

Everyone get out there and vote and lets send McCain back to Arizona!

Texas for Obama

Senator Obama has laid out a clear, defensible short, mid and long term plan for the economy. Senator McCain is now blowing rhetoric and actually criticizing the nation's performance over the last 8 years. He voted with the guy "in charge" over 90% of the time and he's now criticizing Washington's performance over the last 8 years!!! He's suggesting lower taxes and private medicare!!! Isn't that what Bush promised? Does the nation really have the stomach to hear more empty rhetoric? Please, let's move on and fix this mess – no more GOP lies.

How anyone can trust a Republican who, by his own admission, does not understand the economy, to manage the economy – is totally beyond me!

Anyone who votes for McCain (except the rich) is voting against their own self-interests!

Fact is, it took a Democrat in the White House to get us out of the first Bush mess, and it will take a Democrat to get us out of this mess. The country is doomed if McCain gets in there!

the strategy the the mccain campaign chose to deploy was one of old nuance with nothing to offer as a solution to conterpart barack obama. this is not 2004, and the people are on to it

The surge is working! Maverick! ACORN is stealing the election! Arrrggggh!

Good news, but the race isn't over yet. We can't afford to become complacent. Remember, McCain has been completely written off before, and he surprised everyone with his resiliency. Of course, that was before he demonstrated a crippling lack of judgement and selected a snarky one-dimensional power-abusing right wing hyper-opportunist for his running mate.

Thank God Obama is ahead. If he does not become our President this country will fail.

What is an "undecided" voter?

How can someone be undecided only weeks away from choosing between two starkly-contrasted candidates?

Just do some research into the political mess that Chicago is in – and the whole state of Illinois – and you'll reach your decision. If you don't already know everything about the candidiates by now then you haven't been listening.

Keep em comin' Obama!!! Take those states away from the republicans!!!! YESS!!! I cannot wait till November to see Obama crush mccain in the polls!!!!! keep fighting the good fight Barack!!!!!! We need change!!! the only change mccain has is a couple of pennies in his pocket!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!

Do you see what the young lady has written on her sign? MY HUSBAND IS DEPLOYED AGAIN! Run to the polls and Vote Obama-Biden

How come McCain keeps saying Obama will raise taxes? Everything he said today was tax cut, tax relief, How does John McCain plan on implementing his plans? are they paid for? Oh wait he doesn't have any plans.

you and palin need a lot of help, even if you find help i'm sorry my friend it will be to late, why dont you just give up, save yourself some dime old man.

McCain faces a bigger problem than polls that show him down.

McCain's own erratic and irresponsible behavior are the real problems.

How can anyone but the far right vote for him? His own VP is to far radical right that he's isolated swing voters because of Palin.

Thats simply because McCain isn't Presidential.

And his running mate would be a disaster.

"That one" 2008

Obama has an advantage over McCain in so many crucial "swing" states, that it is nearly impossible for McCain/Palin to win this election come November. Unless there is major fraud involved and/or they sweep Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, and Pennsylvania.... Barack Obama will be our next President.

The American people need real change. Most of us are suffering and struggle to make ends meet. Obama shares many of our values: he owns one car, and one house. I don't trust a 72 year old who can't keep track of how many homes he has leading this nation in a time of economic crisis, not to mention a VP who doesn't know the first thing about foreign policy... wait... I forgot... she does, since she can see Russia from her house.

The negative ads boomeranged, his VP choice does not fit into the scheme of things now (perhaps next time). Obama is working on a fiscal plan and McCain plans corporal punishment on him. Next step is to steal Obama's plans and fine tune them. Watch!

Go get 'em Obama/Biden. Don't let McCain/Palin lie their way into the White House.

Thats what you get for being negative all the time.

I'm glad McCain is happy with being so behind. I sure am.

Also, McCain is NOT my friend.

McCain will still win in November. Obama's lead is superficial. With the way things are going, he should have been miles ahead. The fact that he can't – says a lot!

Things will get worse for Mr. Mc Cain, he had a better than even chance before selecting Ms. Palin, coming down to the wire, and voters can't envision Ms. Palin as Vice President of the USA. Really befuddled choice for selecting her to begin with. People also look at the VP choice now as the next Republican choice for 2012 as president, Ms Palin, misses the mark for that selection.

McCain is running again on experience but does not talk about the details of this great plan of his. Now, he's a fighter for Americans; even play the Rocky theme song...........hmmm does anybody else see the similarity to another campaign?

GOD please let November 4th come sooner rather than later.

Please, every good, sensible, patriotic American, VOTE. I cannot imagine what our beloved country would be like if John McCain and Sarah Palin were elected. They terrorize me. Please do not allow this election to be stolen from the candidates who truly do care about our country. McCain/Palin are hate mongers and we cannot accept this in our country. It is imperative that you all get out and vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. May God bless America in these dangerous times!

Obama/Biden '08

As someone with an extremist VP and no new ideas should be!

McCain deserves to be down low because he has gone low as he can go. His negative attacks and backfired and he and Palin earned it well.

McCain ideas don't sound like he can be believed. Obama ideas sound so honest. He makes you want to believe in changed. Dont try and scare me McCain I dont want more of the same.

I guess if Mccain has got them where he wants them, then he has decided to put country first by hoping Obama wins. Mccain is a joke and I can not understand why Obama does not have a bigger lead. Oh thats right people love to vote BBQ and do not care about intelligent leadership. Lets put USA number one again and elect Obama.

we will not stop until barack is elected! no matter what!

Oh and McCain we dont need a fighter...we need someone with an intelligence level higher than 8th grade. You and certainly not Palin dont possess this. Sad. Everything with you is fight...fight...is that all you know. Anger.....

McCain is searching for the “words” that he thinks the American people want to hear. It has nothing to do with whether or not he can deliver. He is just trying to say what he thinks we want to hear to get our vote. This week its is one thing and next week it will be something else. He will keep throwing his “new plan” out right up until the election.

I don’t know what happened to John McCain.

He has made poor decisions throughout this campaign-from putting lobbyists in charge of his campaign, to choosing an unqualified, dishonest and unethical running mate, to changing his message and vision almost daily. His campaign is inciting hate and division.

He may have been a brave soldier, but a leader he is not.

Can't drill your way out of that one!

HUGE HUGE KUDOS to the Clintons and Biden this week!!! Doing the right thing is the best feeling ever...

Support Obama 08

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

Is John McCain trying to spin the situation, or has he completely lost any grip on reality?

Note to Senator McCain: The losing position in an election is NOT where you want to be.

This comes as no surprise. After the hate rallies held by McCain and Palin (mostly Palin) last week, they showed us all in glaring boldness that Country First is simply a phrase made up to bs low info voters. What was the real strategy, destroy America? Now they want to take it back, or pretend it didn't happen? I'm disgusted with both of them.

If McCain is going to bring "change" shouldn't he be able to recoginize it when he sees it? This is not a race like ever before.

He doesn't have anyone where he wants them, and he and his people obviously aren't paying attention if they think Obama is getting fat and lazy on these poll numbers.

Yes, we've got them just where we want them... AHEAD!!!!

The fear/smears campaign is not working.

Go Obama/Biden'08

This is because the American people are not going to fall for the fear tactics used in past elections. Until the focus on the issues, the slide for McCain will continue.

McCain where is your new economic proposal you were supposed to give. Instead you give us the same ole same ole...Im a vet...I will fight fight fight...I will do this (but no explanation of how). Does this man know anything on economic issues.

McCain for shame

Countless votes against our wartime veterans.

Please don't use your military experience as evidence of your qualification, it simply is another lie.

This campaign is actively 'crashing and burning', so you should feel right at home.

BO08

Mccain is a Liar that is the Reason he is losing all he does is lie and he has not policies to move us into the Future that is the Reason That ONE is winning because he has plans to Move this Country in the Right track and is is Honest. Obama Biden 08

sorry but this country put Bush in office for 2 straight terms and we were told both Kerry and Gore were supposed to win. Even as a Obama supporter I am not ready to call this thing over. And I hope many others feel the way I do too. There are too many unknown variables that can come into play once the voter gets to the booth. McCain is right, this race is not over yet.

Hopefully Obama/Biden's lead will continue to grow and turn into a true electoral landslide beyond any Republican attempts to suppress and disenfranchise voters as in 2000 and 2004.

I think the young lady in red, holding the sign:
"My husband Deployed again" says it all...

We can have victory in Iraq, yet no one on the McCain side has defined what victory is at this point. No one in the executive branch has defined victory. What is victory? Three thousand dead and 10 billion a month, we deserve to know!

The difference between McCain & the Republicans vs Obama & the Democrats is that McCain & the Republicans want to give big breaks to the wealthy and big business whereas Obama & the Democrats want to give breaks to the middle. That's why I voted for the Democrats this time around. They will support the middle.

McCain represents the failed policies of the past. Obama represents the future.

"...My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

The Barack Obama/Joe Biden campaign is now where the McFoolish/FAILin campaign and the rest of the world wants them....

AHEAD!!!!!!

Go home McCentury and take the Alaskan Husky with you!

Obama/Biden & The DEMS 08'!!!

MCCAIN SAYS HE HAS GOT OBAMA, BIDEN AND THE DEMS. RIGHT WHERE HE WANTS THEM.

HE MUST WANT THEM AHEAD IN THE POLLS PRETTY BAD!

THE MEDIA HAS NOT DECLARED THE RACE OVER, RATHER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE SAID ENOUGH TO YOUR LIES, ACCUSATIONS, DISTORTIONS AND ATTACKS.

REMIND ANYONE OF A G.W.B.?

Catch a Clue! It is the Economy Stupid! UnStable and UnAble just won't do. Too much hate promoting and stupid demonizing talk because the repubs have no message. Hate won't do.

Too early to celebrate....stay focused Barack!

I'd say Obama has McCain right where he wants him. He just needs to stay steady and remain unrattled by the sucker punches by McCain and his allies.

Thanks for the headline story on line with a smiling Obama. The polls are going to tighten in the next weeks as we get closer to election and people will begin to see through the MSM version of Obama. We are learning more and more about Obama from the alternative media and the more they learn the less people will be willing to vote for him.

Please do put the country first. Vote for Obama.

It's just CNN polls.

As close as this race, no one will know until election day.

So now McCain says he wants us to fight? Thats gonna go over well in our international affairs with two wars and two/3 others pending. Our enemies already see us as gun totting, bible thumping, crusaders that want to occupy oil rich countires! McCain is asking people to fight because that is all he knows how to do. His fight words cause racial tensions in my city which is considered peacefully diverse! Stop the violence and hatred here in America and abroad! Lets get our boys out of Iraq and finish the business in Afghanistan! We need the money here now not over there!

GIVE IT UP MCCAIN!!! YOU HAVE BECOME AN AWFUL PERSON AND YOUR CAMPAIGN IS A JOKE. YOU ARE THE BIGGEST HYPOCRITE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A POLITICIAN AND YOUR CREEPY DEMEANOR AND YOUR PIG OF A RUNNING MATE DESERVE TO LOSE BECAUSE YOU ARE BOTH TERRIBLE PEOPLE WHO WOULD DRIVE OUR NATION FURTHER FROM WHERE WE SHOULD BE GOING, YOUR CROWDS ARE HATE-FILLED RACISTS AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT WHERE YOU HAVE ENDED UP SINCE BEGINNING THIS RACE.

The more McCain and Palin keep playing "good cop, bad cop", the lower McCain's numbers are gonna go. You can't start preaching that you want a civil campaign while your running mate continues to not only be uncivil, but on the verge of riot inducing.

That's OKAY. When the folks who will elect Obama Nov. 4 realize that his economic plans are bogus, they'll just have to cry in their own beer.
Anyone who is a small business owner, or even half-way understands business jargon, will understand that Obama is saying a lot of good words that impress the easily led, but they don't make sense! As one poor soul said, "He just makes me feel so good." That person doesn't understand.

John McCain is a tool.

Can someone please enlighten me? The people are deparate to hear the candidates proposals on the economy whereas Obama today released those details; however, McCain (McCan't) "refused to answer a reporter's question Sunday about what plans he might be considering".

Instead, the Arizona senator planned a new speech at a campaign stop in Virginia Monday in which he argues he can win the race despite national and battleground state polls showing him trailing Barack Obama amid the deepening market crisis.

"The national media has written us off. Senator Obama is measuring the drapes, and planning with Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi and Senator (Harry) Reid to raise taxes, increase spending, take away your right to vote by secret ballot in labor elections, and concede defeat in Iraq. But they forgot to let you decide. My friends, we've got them just where we want them," McCain planned to tell supporters, according to speech excerpts provided by the campaign.

In fact, Obama has proposed tax cuts for those making less than $250,000 and has called for a timetable for withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq

He still does not get it! He is most interested in winning the election, dividing our country, and is out of touch with reality...sounds like Bush to me.

As an Obama supporter I am glad for him but we are not taking anything for granted. We will keep campaining and blogging until it's all over. But as for now, it's not yet over. Anything can happen especially now the Republicans seem desperate.

How can that be? Doesn't everybody want more war?? Hasn't the last 8 years been great??

I'm taking the morning off on Wednesday to protest Sarah Palin's appearance here in Dover, NH.

I'm not entirely certain what McCain means by having "them" right where he wants them... seems like more bluster and posturing on his part. In the mean time the rats are leaving the sinking ship.

Just saw Obama's economic rescue plan. It is the same as Bush's except that it extends taxpayer money to state and local governments.

Obama is a joke.

Mccain ought to take his little fight into someplace private... preferably with padded walls.

This may not be the end of the race John my boy, but guess what, even though that poll may not show the voters who will turn their back on Barack because of his skin color, but it also does not account for most of the young voters who support Barack and do not have traditonal means of being contacted by pollsters. I would bet on a Obama Landslide any day!

Not going to happen, my friend.

We honor Senator McCain, but his campaign is run amd supporterd by hateful idiots.

Obama will be our next president.

Barack Obama..a man for the times...someone we can be proud of when he gets up to speak, meets with foreign leaders, gives press conferences, reaches across the aisle and leads back into prosperity and world respect. I, for one, can't wait.

I already voted for Obama, so i guess McSame is out of luck for my vote.

Obama is going to lose...LOL!

Can't wait for you all to try and figure it out.

No way McCain...Not this time..we the PEOPLW are speaking now ! Obama is gonna win by good margin..
Whites for Obama..in texas and everywhere...
D.Bradshaw
Measure the drapes carefully Michelle, your going IN...

MCBUSH PILOTED OUR ECONOMY

THE SAME WAY HE DID HIS PLANE.

NOE WE ARE PRISONERS OF HIS & BUSH'S

MAVERICK ECONOMICS OF WAR & DEREGULATION.

McCain was suppose to roll out a new economic plan. Now they have no plan. As always, the McCain camp likes to use the media for their specticle of a campaign. If with 3 weeks to go before the election and McCain has no plan for the economy, then he should not be running for president.

McCain is doomed to defeat.

This next debate is going to be "make it or break it" for McCain if this slide keeps up. What can he do to pull himself off of this slippery slope? He needs to be who he is, not who the GOP string pullers want him to be.

Thank you SMART voters.... American voters are REJECTING the HATE SPEECHES, NEGATIVE ENERGY, DIVISIVE ATTITUDES of McCain/Palin. McCain has PROVEN to be ERRATIC and UNSTABLE.

To all you Senator John McCain supporter you don't speak for me..Senator John McCain voted against the New Vet GI Bill. He voted against at least 20 Bills that help the military, so get your story right... The Military is not behind nor are they for Senator John McCain....

For sure maccain will win this race and he will be doing good and people will be voting for him after thinking about obama who is not a true man and never told truth about his connections with radical groups.

Yah !Hes got some republicans were he wants them! he's got them In hate mode, and lie mode and Im realy not crazy mode! He will not have me where he wants me! and that is voting for him! NO mccain NO palin Vote Obama!

Don’t believe the polls, Team Obama. Let’s continue to do the work. We can rest on November 5th.

GOD willing, Yes We Can.

If it wasn't for notoriously Republican-biased Zogby polls, McCain would be even lower.

Obama, will win this election unless the republicans manufacture a terrorist attack on the country. It is not beyond the realm of possibility.

GO JOHN YOU CAN DO IT!

Now McCain's a "fighter"? Why didn't he declare himself a fighter weeks or months ago when this economic disaster was unfolding.
Why? Because he and his party are mostly to blame (I'm not saying
Dems are blameless). McCain's good buddy Mr. Bush has had 8 years of executive branch stewardship. You live by the sword.... you die by the sword. You live by deregulation and incompetence, you die by those same attirbutes.
And let's not forget the depths of negative campaigning McCain/Palin have dragged this country into? Lastly, why in the world would ANYBODY vote for Mrs. Palin, who has been found guilty of "abusing power" before she even got to Washington. Electing her would be CHANGE???????? No way, no how.

1. Palin – trying woo Hullary's supporters back fired
2. I am going to washington to fix econmomy – did not work
3. Ayers – did not get traction
4. Wright – a dead snake – cant beat it anymore
5. Muslim – did not work
6. Policies – not McCain's stuff – too diffcikut, forget it – no reublican has ever won on issues ecept that grat Regan, and Mccain is no Reagan
7. Obama is an alien – may work – give it try
Any more ideas people?
Maverick – what an insult to that word!!

Fox news has Obama leading? now that's something

Will someone PLEASE tell that man to stop using the "My Friends" comment???? He is clearly NOT our friends. I don't know if the loss of ethics in his campaign should be attributed to Palin who is the worst, most caustic possible running mate, or the addition of the Karl Rove camp to his campaign group.

McCain- I used to respect you and still had an open mind about the election till this schitzo change in your ethics, choices, and personality reared their ugly heads.

If I didn't know better, I'd be worried.

"The national media forgot to let you (the electorate) decide..."?

That's what the polls are....they are simply reflecting what the electorates decision is currently. The bogeymen National Media are simply reporting them, they are not deciding anything.

Pathetic and desperate, this campaign is...

Read CNN's Tara Wall, contributing editor to CNN...she says that Obama and Bush aren't that far apart...more of the same then, eh

I hope you are wrong.

YOU DON'T SAY!!!!! RESPECTABLE REAGAN REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK YOUR PARTY. I MAY NOT HAVE AGREED WITH TRICKLE DOWN POLICIES BUT I LEAST HAS SOME RESPECT FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE OPPOSITE PARTY.

OBAMA BIDEN OH EIGHT

Senator McCain and Governor Palin: PLEASE CONTINUE THE NEGATIVE PERSONAL ATTACKS. Its helping "that one".

Amazing photo! That woman is crying because her husband was deployed... AGAIN!

What's the "win" criteria McCain?

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

Just what American needs right know, delusional leadership . . .

How is McCain supposed to find solutions to any of our problems when he can't even deal with reality?

With all the negativity that has been spewed by McCain what is to be expected – negativity never gains anything. People don't care about negative thoughts they want to know what is going to be done to help them survive each and every day.

I don’t think anybody questions McCain’s willingness to fight. That’s the problem! He sees everything in military terms, defining too many things as a battle in which he is willing to do anything in order to win. The McCain/Palin ticket’s claim that Obama’s Iraq policy would be tantamount to waving a white flag is a case in point. How does McCain define victory in Iraq? When all the "bad guys" are dead? And will someone please ask Palin the big question: Who are the bad guys? Al Qaeda, or the Iraqi nationals who hate the American occupation? Again, McCain distorts reality and Obama’s plans, then he criticizes his own distortions. We've had ENOUGH dishonest blustering to last a lifetime. OBAMA 08 ! !

I watched John McCain speaking in North Carolina. Lots of rude people in the audience. And he said, as usual, the phrase "My friends" way too many times. He also repeatedly used the word "fight." Aren't we tired of fighting? Let's hear John utter the word "peace" for once.

This campaign is over for me 10/16 when I vote early and turn off all but Obama/Biden appearances.

cnn why is it everytime i try to make a comment you never post it? its not right! what happened to free speech? i deserve to be heard like all other americans!

people please wake up! lets take back our beloved country! the time for ignorance and bigotry is over! just listen to the 2 candidates speeches today and the choice is very clear. mccain offers no solutions for the problems with our economy, and is continueing to tell lie after lie. did you hear the lie he told that obama wants to take away our right to have secret ballots when we vote?? where does he get this stuff? obama offers clear and thoughtful plans to help the average american. listen to what this man has to say! open your minds! it baffels me that anyone could consider voting for mccain/palin. how can anyone want a person like sarah palin a heart beat away from the presidency!? despite what she has been saying she was found to abuse her powers as govenor. the media refuses to also talk about her and todds connections to the alaskan independence party. these people want to rip a star off of our beloved flag people! read some of the statements by the founder of AIP! hes more of a modern day terrorist that bill ayers! the crap he pulled was 20 years ago when obama was 8! why cant the media talk about the palins connections to AIP? check the facts people and you will see that that the ayers/obama smear is flamingly undeniably false! palins connections to AIP is true. theres a video of her adressing AIPs convention! im begging you my fellow americans, wake up!! demand the truth! put aside your bigotry and do whats right for this country! vote for obama/biden! lets make this country great again!! YES WE CAN!!!
adrian

The RCP electoral map shows them at 277 electoral votes, RCP is showing PA as safe and VA as leaning for Obama.

Again do not get cocky, but just savor these facts while we "elitist" have our morning latte's and scones in our ivory towers!

WINK!

The BIG problem with Governor Palin is ..she's just not that smart.
No, offense it's just the truth.
The American people can tell this and that is the reason their poll numbers are dropping.
Her lack of knowledge is the only reason the McCain campaign is not ALLOWING her to do ANY more interviews without Senator McCain at her side??
THE REASON IS CLEAR.
Because she is not qualified and you can REALLY tell when you ask her questions that require spontaneous answers other than remembered talking points.
I ask you members of the Republican party and ALL other Americans..
Do you REALLY want this ( average) person in the White House??
EVERY other major candidate has been interviewed on all of the MAJOR news programs (especially the Sunday morning ones). Why should Governor Palin not have to do the same???
The complaint about the GOTCHA question issues is bogus. If a candidate for one of the highest offices in the land can't handle that, how in the world would they handle a REAL CRISIS??
The last person we elected that was of average intelligence was….
George W Bush and look at the mess the world is in from that election!!

Now here goes the next state that the McCain/Palin team need to visit and lie to with there bitter words.

Obama/Biden 08/12

I think VA or CO should be leaning blue. Come on CNN!

I can see clearly now McCain is gone! LMAO

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!

3 WEEKS LEFT UNTIL PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VICE-PRESIDENT BIDEN!

GO AMERICA!

"My friends, we've got them just where we want them."

Ok does that mean that McCain wants Obama to win?

He better start telling people he's a magician and forget being a maverick.

Goodnight McSame and Barbie.....the fat lady is singing

TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK TICK TOCK..... the clock is ticking quickly for the McCain-Palin ticket.
