Gov. Sarah Palin, the GOP vice presidential nominee, campaigns in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Monday.

(CNN) – In the final days before the election, the strategy in battleground Virginia has shifted from getting people registered to making sure they show up to vote.

"The war's being waged in Virginia," said Michael McDonald, associate professor of government and politics at George Mason University and a visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution. "You're seeing both campaigns out in force with their lieutenants and grunts on the ground trying to get people to vote."

Watch: Democrats and Republicans wage ground war in Virginia

With 310,530 new voters registered in Virginia, a whole new group of voters could decide the election in the commonwealth.

Virginia has voted Republican in every presidential race since 1968, but the latest CNN poll of polls calculated Monday shows Barack Obama with a 7-point advantage over John McCain, 51-44 percent, with 5 percent saying they're undecided.

The McCain and Obama campaigns, along with the help of third-party organizations like the AFL-CIO, and women's groups for McCain-Palin have been going door-to-door, making phone calls, handing out literature, and sending text messages to ensure voters know where to go and vote next Tuesday.

How come McCain have not come out to speak about Stevens? Is he trying to distance hisself from Stevens as he did Bush?Why can't these people stop being greedy while poor working americans are losing their jobs,Then there are some people upset about Obama spreading the wealth.When you look at the greed of these politicians what's wrong with Obama spreading the wealth and why should we continue allow these people to live comfotable and still want more.Republicans will continue to run the economy in the ground and you mark my word those of you who think McCain would do otherwise than Bush you can't be more wrong

Charles from Atlanta   October 27th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

John McCain had plenty of time during the summer to figure out the economy problem before Democratic primary settling down and he blew up. He has no clue about US economy. "My Friends, I have a plan. I can fix it.." And failing to catch up Obama on issues, he has nothing left except going negative – terrorist, socialism, higher tax, communist, no experience.. McCain supporters can only keep spreading lies and misleading information, instead of explaining McCain's plan (if he has any.) Guys, this is 21st century, Internet has provided detail information about everything. Spreading lies and scare strategy are no longer work. That is the reason why younger generation that has all knowledge using Internet are leaning toward Democratic party. These will be the future force to against GOP.

Seth   October 27th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

It's officical – Palin is a complete fool.

Druid Hippies for Obama   October 27th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

The democrats always whine about getting out the vote, yet their party is too lazy come election day. Don't worry, the silent majority conservative traditional center right coalition which founded, fought for, and defines what is America...is ALIVE and well, thank you very much. WE WILL BE HEARD on election day, and Obama WILL NOT WIN. CARTER WAS AHEAD A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE 1980 ELECTION, GORE WAS UP OVER BUSH IN OCTOBER, AS WAS KERRY IN 2004, AS WAS DEWEY OVER TRUMAN IN 1948. MY MY MY how short sighted the democrat larger public is...

Marcus in Atlanta   October 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Virginia needs to go blue!!!!! Did anyone see the interview last week where Sarah Palin wasn't able to correctly describe a precondition? She said that it was a strategy that you have before meeting with a hostile foreign leader. She was asked to describe it after she stated that Obama was naive for not requiring them from foreign leaders. What a moron!!!! For all you McCain supporters, a precondition is a requirement that the foreign nation must meet before talks begin.

I said this a while back   October 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

It is a state that has made history..... I truly believe this state is very wise and it keeps religion in the churches and with God where it belongs.
Obama will be our president that will lead us out of this darkness to a great future.
Parents for a better future for our children.

Obama/Biden 08!   October 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Palin's been found guilty of abuse of power and now the Senator Stevens is found guilty well, with 8 days left I think Mccain should just concede this election to Obama. His sidekick's misdoings and corrupt connections are digging him a hole so deep he can't see daylight at the top anymore!

Go Obama!!

Anne   October 27th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Janice Pound   October 27th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

I just heard McCain say the Democrats would raise your taxes and increase your debt. I guess McCain forgot he's going to continue 10 bill a month war. and build nuclear plants all over the place costing at least 50 mill per. and he's going to put Washington on a budget RIGHT! And why do Reps keep saying we're going to end up with a one party gov't thus destroying the country. Is'nt that what we've had for the last 7yrs? and Bush trying to get rid of more Dems in the justice dept.

Having keenly followed the campigns from Kenya,and feeling effects of Americas economic downran, OBAMA has the dose for the worlds economic problems.McCain is good at calling names and a good lier.

Wow... this thread is funny... anyone notice how republicans don't seem to notice the MANY high profile Republicans now supporting Obama? Have they all drunk the coolaid. Actually no, they are the true conservatives that actually want a SMART person running the country.

Jack   October 27th, 2008 7:19 pm ET

It looks like Virginia, Ohio, Florida and possibly Colorado will be deciding this elecation. It will be interesting to see if the people suffering in those states stick with what got them there or will they step in a new direction.

I still can not understand how there are any women or women's groups that support Palin. Do you not realize that she will reverse women's rights! She is not Hiliary Clinton, she is not your friend and she is not a "socer mom". Ladies we are too smart to be fooled by speeches and labels. Her narrow minded social views will hurt this country.

No Hillary = No Obama   October 27th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

Notice how Obama is reving up the rhetoric – just like a Sunday Preacher. I don't know why he feels he has to do this, since he already wrote his swearing-in speech. The more I hear this guy talk, the more he sounds like bull crap.

Sarah Palin from the state that does not pay income tax or sales tax.Thats not good enough so give every resident including herself and kids $3,200.00.She wanted to share the wealth, not sure what you call that but I call it Socialism and Alaska is the leader in dollars given to residents. Yeah she is all mavericky and reforming the state.Her pal Stevens should vote for McCain

HP   October 27th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Republicans are going down in 2008. It is time for tge democrates the intelligent group to take over this country...either join us or move with old fart and moose killer...

Lucky   October 27th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

I don't understand why people would still vote for McCain and Palin. If they are it's really not about the issues. Hell repulican leaders are jumping ship. McCains ship is sinking and Palin is the hole in it. How can McCain and Palin bring this country together when their rally are full of hatefull people. Republican is not in this year. Go Obama and Biden.

Farrell, Houston, Tx   October 27th, 2008 7:05 pm ET

Come on Virginia, vote Obama for your childrens' future not for McCain who clearly has no vision for the future. McCain's time has come and gone and we cannot go back and relive the failure of McCain/Bush policies. VOTE OBAMA.

Gov.Sarah Palin is beautiful inside out,she can put an old bedsheet &
well still look dignified.She has more qualification which include high
level security clearance unlike senator Obama ,just have the dollar.
Spread wealth is best for America with hateful Sen. Harry Reid,Speaker Peluso,Sen. Cris Dodd, Sen. Barney Frank, Rep. Waters ( if it is not broken do not fix ),start praying for nothing is not going to be fixed. WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE PRES. BUSH as our President during this man made castastrophe.Thanks PRES.BUSH !

SocialWkratHeart   October 27th, 2008 6:59 pm ET

I am a former Virginian. I have for many years been disappointed in my fellow Virginian's for being so provocatively influenced by the Republican party by using the "hot topics" of abortion and religion to polarize the voters. In the Bible belt it is so seductive to persuade people that voting democratic is blasphemy.

I am so very proud of the people in Virginia this year for taking a hard look at the veil of hypocrisy by the Republicans. I am now living in NC and hopefully North Carolina voters' eyes have been opened as well. There is a reason that Church and State are separated. To vote Democratic –for all people to have access to the American Dream– rather than the Republicans wanting to protect their turf so that the wealthiest can stay wealthy, is not antithetical to Christianity–it is the very foundation of what Jesus taught!

California Silver   October 27th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

Isn't it odd that not only did the McCain/Palin campaign take over the "change" mantra but they are now playing the same "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" song at Palin's rallies that Obama has played for a long time now.

Do they have nothing original or creative? I guess not... that speaks volumes!

Darrell   October 27th, 2008 6:58 pm ET

My Man McCain,
you must have a man crush on McCain because he puts me to sleep with every speech which is I will fix this and fix that and shake this and cut taxes where I can but neve, ever has he once answered how he would do anything,he just says he will.When you listen to Obama he has very clear and consise plans that involve every American.Pretty sure that "My Freinds" slogan excites you but my used car salesman that ripped me off always says things like "My Freinds" so best of luck to you.

well no need for anyone to go vote since cnn and nbc and the rest of them have proclaimed obama the king of america........im a democrat, but i will not vote for a marxist for president or what ever he considers himself to be........as for the democratic convention how much did they spend on the greek temple and the stadium anyway? i bet sarah palins clothes that were lent to her cost a lot less......i would say that if this is an idication as to what they will spend if this man is elected is a good sign as to how much broker this country will be.....and to all of you that want something for nothing, get a part time job.....it will make you feel much better that you earned it, rather than it being handed to you.....as far as all the people getting out of the stock market they are scared to death that obama will get elected and better to be taxed at 15 rather than 20.......so when you see the market go down everyone is getting out while the getting is good......its called protecting yourself from the greedy spenders in washington.....and if you dont think this man is a marxist just take a long look at that church that he attended for 20 years.....that church is based on marxism......spread the wealth is marxist......

You right wingers can foam at the mouth all you want. The truth is, when you see who has endorsed Obama, you know that he has reached out to all sides and has the plans to bring this country back.
It's not Kool-Aid, it's not empty rhetoric, it's real plans embraced by a diverse group of people.

Look at who has voted for McCain.....Bush and Cheney.
Nuff said.

The top newspaper in the home state of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin has endorsed Democratic candidate Barack Obama for president.
Alaska's Anchorage Daily News, said governor Mrs Palin was "too risky" to be one step away from the presidency.

OK McCain backers listen and think clearly.

Laidetea   October 27th, 2008 6:49 pm ET

Well, I hope the undecided notices that Sen. Steven supported Palin, so that means Palin was running with a bad crowd from the beginning. Palin's average "Joe" attitude is about to take a hard nose dive along with anyone else who's affiliated with the Alaskan Senator/Gov.

You can leave our state McCain/Palin to the real pro-american parts of the country. I am not your friend and will continue to explain to folks why and where to check facts...

After spending 20+ years in the UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS, I still find it so interesting when those like Obama/Biden want to run for the highest office of our country and never SERVED OUR COUNTRY IN THE MILITARY those kind of people are just flag waivers when they want American votes and can appeal to those by saying what they want to hear. There's a price to pay for the liberties we enjoy and both Obama/Biden have never paid that price SADDAM IS GONE THE IRAQUIS ARE IMPLIMENTING A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT and freedoms are being realized by the Iraquis that never thought possible and Americans take for granted. President Bush should be COMMENDED but so many of you have allowed the angry bitter seed to be planted and still no attacks have been commited since 2001!!!!!

Re: Vote HIGHER TAXES … Vote SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE … Vote OFFSHORE BUSINESS … Vote WEAKER DEFENSE …

Same old lies again and again, pal. All you need to do is look at the facts to see that you are regurgitating the same rhetoric of the GOP. Obama's "spread the wealth" is something that is already at the heart of the U.S. tax code. What, you didn't realize that? Just look up the facts, dude. Also, look up what Socialism means. It's not Obama. Also, look up Obama's health care system. I bet Obama's policies would probably help you, yet you are ready to vote for McCain to your own detriment. Well, if that it's irony!

Texan's for Obama   October 27th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Houston and Austin are not the only cities voting for Obama.
We live in a small town in Texas and in our neighborhood there are Obama/Biden yards signs everywhere. I have several neighbors that initially planned to vote for McCain. Not anymore. Obama might not take Texas, but he will take this election.

GET OUT AND BARACK THE VOTE! WE DID.

Chris F.   October 27th, 2008 6:40 pm ET

@WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW, What about you buddy McBush? He was friends with Keating and tried to protect him during the S&L scandal of the late 80's and early 90's. I don't think McCain can be trusted to help in a financial crisis becuase he will just try to help his friends out. Too bad Obama did not travel the low road and bring up all McBush's shaddy dealings.

Then you have Palin who is ethically challenge and abuses powers. She will not even condemn her buddy Stevens for his actions..

Something that all the pundits have missed is whether the Republicans and conservative leaning independants turn out to vote if they don't like McCain as a candidate but racially can not pull the lever for Obama because of race. Sort of a reverse Bradley effect.

I am sure the literature being hand out is full of smear, dirt, lies and cow manure coming from anything on the McCain ticket. I think it is quite humorous to watch the drama unfold, when Palin and McCain are not agreeing on issues. Gees, who is running for President anyway? She says she wants more rights for special needs children, yet when does a VP make policies? And also she slams the robocalls, but that is McCains doing. Then she wants to spew things out of her pie hole just on a whim. That is why they give her scripted speaches and no interviews. Katie Courics still rings in my head.... What do you read? And no answer......

Gene   October 27th, 2008 6:31 pm ET

"my man McCain"

Only a racist or generally bitter person would have their skin crawl while listening to someone talking about hope and unity.

Allan   October 27th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Hey Greg, I have a better one for you!

What do Obama and Osama have in common?

The Republicans don't know how to catch either one of them!

Don from Miane   October 27th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

Hear that McPalin? The fat lady has started to sing. the Rethuglicans are done. Americans would much rather vote for hope than fear and arrogance. Palin will go down as the biggest political blunder in the last 40 years. this will go down as the most pathetic rethuglican ticket in the history of th gop. YES WE CAN AND ON NOVEMBER 5TH WE'LL BE SAYING YES WE DID.

tee   October 27th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

My man Mccain- when are we going to hear a plan from Mccain the insane. All he and Palin do is attack Obama's plan. When is he going to put a decent plan together? After the election in his padded cell wearing a straight jacket, while Palin is reading him fairytales about Joe the Plummer and Tito the Builder.

EX REPUBLICAN IN TEXAS   October 27th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

PLEASE VOTE EARLY!!!

IN TRAVIS COUNTY, OVER 30% OF ALL REGISTERED VOTERS
HAVE ALREADY VOTED.

I voted for a UNITER, not a DIVIDER, because people,
DIVIDED WE FAIL!!!

I voted for the candidate who thinks ALL AMERICANS are REAL AMERICANS.

I voted DEMOCRAT, because the Republican Party has been HIJACKED by RADICAL RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS...and hey, I'm a BAPTIST.

I voted for Obama, because Senator McCain has SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL to (try to) win this election.
The John McCain who ran in 2000 would be ASHAMED of the JOHN McCain running in 2008.

But mostly, I voted for OBAMA because Sarah Palin SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME. She embodies everything that is WRONG with AMERICA.
I wonder how the polls would look if he had chosen ANYONE else?
(And there were many other women MORE QUALIFIED)

MCCAIN = BUSH
OBAMA = CHANGE

Florida Voter   October 27th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Vote early if you can. I'm standing in-line right now to cast my vote for Obama.

Restore America's strength, ideals, and decency.

vera in VA   October 27th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I live in Virginia and I will not be voting for Obama! I said I would remember in November and I do. No dems ever again for this former life long dem. I think the polls are a joke! But let the Obama cool-aide drinkers have thier fun till next tuesday thats okay!

mitch   October 27th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

another awesome speech by barack! full of ideas to make things better for america and politics. finally, a president all americans can be proud of ,except hateful,racist, republican far right wingnuts!

Virginia will be blue this year.. and yes, that includes the "Real Virginia" too :)

what?   October 27th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

My Man McCain!

Obama gave several specifics and plans in his speech, the same ones he has been giving for months now, if you didn't hear them, then perhaps you are to dumb to process good ideas, that you probably will benefit from

Jody Monroe   October 27th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Wise up, fellow Americans. There are many more parties to vote for, besides the Democrat or Republican parties. They are both 2 sides of the same rotten coin.

Try these for a change: American Indepence party, Constitution party, Green party, Libertarian party, Peace and Freedom party. Be a true Maverick by NOT voting for the same old "same old" parties. Break out of the mold and express your opinion of what America should truly be. You don't have to accept more of the SAME!

Jack from Phoenix   October 27th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

Now we have learned of a plot to kill African-Americans, including Barack Obama. Such an increase in display of hate and bigotry is a DIRECT extension of the hate-mongering, divisive, exclusive policies and campaigning of John McCain and Sarah Palin and the attitudes of the GOP, as so eloquently expressed by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann of Minnesota. You destroy the foundation of this country by running campaigns based on fear, hatred, and statements of individuals or parts of the country as being "more American". The very foundation of this country and the bill of rights is the right for ALL AMERICANS to have life, love, and the pursuit of happiness - not just those who agree with your political or religious beliefs.

We need HOPE not FEAR - Obama/Biden '08

conny   October 27th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

Gov Palin, response was when i get back to Alaska, as your Gov i will look deeper into this WHAT., have you given up on VP already. Hopefully Ak., will be smart and make a serious attempt to clean house with the BS Oh Gov Pafalin, i think that you may be included !

Voting for change Seattle, Wa   October 27th, 2008 6:23 pm ET

All I can say is VOTE VOTE VOTE!! PLEASE go out and vote. Vote Early if you can. But the only way we will finally see change is to vote for CHANGE!!

LMAO! That is for you REP that keep talking your trash!! Keep talking, your only making all of us look good!

Obama 2008 and 2012~

Jason, Omaha, NE   October 27th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Is anyone else really worried about Obama or something happening if he wins? Please McCain and Palin, if Obama wins ask your supporters to get behind the new President and treat him with the respect the President deserves. This story out of Tennessee is really scary. I didn't want Bush to win, but still respected the people's vote and tried to be respectful towards him even when it was really hard. This country has come so far and all it takes is one radical racist to set this country back years in race relations.

Chris B.   October 27th, 2008 6:22 pm ET

Hey Gabr, what are we supposed to look towards when it comes to the GOP? Smear, fear, faction, hate, antiquated ideals, failure etc. Face it. We have a better candidate who actually inspires people. Stop whining and complaining and acting like our support for Obama is idolatry. What do you call your support for Bush after he lied us into a war and smeared through the last presidential election and, now, his policies and ignorance have sank the economy? That's blindness, my friend.

Terry, Dallas Texas   October 27th, 2008 6:21 pm ET

Ouch. So much hate and name calling from the right. Foe them it's like being strapped to a railroad track and being able to see the train coming but unable to do anything about it.

Gabr   October 27th, 2008 6:20 pm ET

I am willing to accept Palin for President, looking at her records, her deeds and comparing hers with Obama's. I find it weird, why people think that trained to debate Obama who is eloquent as many others are, would be a better choice than not so eloquent but proven at least and having more experience than Obama has...Looking at some cites like CNN it just looks scary how people deify BHO

AL, maryland   October 27th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

If Virginia is smart, they will go blue! Go out and VOTE FOR OBAMA!

My Man McCain!   October 27th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

I just heard NOBAMA giving a sermon, I mean speech, makes your skin crawl, words, words and more words, no ideas for this "so-called" change.

...simply an empty suit...

true values   October 27th, 2008 6:17 pm ET

that backwards "B" on that GOP lady's face represented the backwardness of the GOP fanatics.

I for one want the country to move forward from that ugliness.

That is why my vote goes for Obama.

WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW   October 27th, 2008 6:14 pm ET

HEY Dave in Houston,

OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN TEXAS.

TEXAS VOTERS ARE NOT THAT GULLIBLE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.

ALOT OF PEOPLE IN HOUSTON AND AUSTIN WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA.

BUT TEXAS IS A BIG STATE AND MC CAIN WILL WIN NO PROBLEM.

I JUST WISH SOME OF THE OTHER STATES WOULD WAKE UP !!!

Former PUMA   October 27th, 2008 6:13 pm ET

As a wife of a service-member currently in Iraq, I ca say McCain is in for a rude awakening if he thinks he is gonna win the military vote. In my husbands unit they are almost all absentee voting for Obama. Same with most people he works with outside his unit. Soldiers are weary and want to come home. Soldiers see first hand the lies of the Bush admin. Sorry John, but you just aren't gonna make it this time around. You can thank Palin for losing this former Hillary-then-McCain-now-Obama supporter, and Thank Bush for losing my active-duty-army-normally-republican-husbands vote!!!!!

A Message from a non-US citizen, not white, not black, not Repub, not Dem. Just very concerned for the USA and the world:The world is dying to celebrate your victory in UNITY AND HOPE over deep-seated prejudices based on gender, race, religion and greed for power. We are waiting for you to embrace true FREEDOM, not just political, but freedom of mind and heart and soul; freedom that is free of the greatest oppressor of all, FEAR. Millions of you have already done so. Now All of you have the opportunity to do the same.

Anthony Andrulonis   October 27th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

It is better to live in hope than in fear, we should give Obama a chance. Lord knows we are due for some good luck in this country and he will make the most of it. Few would argue that he knows how to capitalize on opportunity.

Gabr   October 27th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

To Goodson: You have NO IDEA WHAT FREEDOM means. You and most of the Obamunists are exactly whay you call 'maniac supporters'

Let the Freedom Be, Do not suppress the Voice of Freedom by electing BHO

WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW   October 27th, 2008 6:10 pm ET

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

I REALIZE NOTHING ANYONE SAYS IS GOING TO CHANGE YOUR MINDS ABOUT OBAMA BUT DOES IT BOTHER YOU AT ALL THAT THIS MAN HAS SO MANY SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET.

HOW CAN YOU TRUST OBAMA.

I GUEST THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS THINK ALL THIS INFORMATION IS FALSE.

WOW TALK ABOUT FANTASY LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff   October 27th, 2008 6:09 pm ET

The right leaning politics of Virginia was one reason my wife and I relocated from Virginia to California. If Virginia goes "blue" perhaps we would consider moving back. The other reason for moving was limited job opportunities and lower per capita pay compared to other regions. Perhaps Virginia has finally woke up...If so, welcome to 2008 and the future instead of the narrow minded past. Go Virginia – Obama/ Biden '08 needs you.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 VOTE EARLY IF YOU CAN!!!

Its going to be weird, once the election is over, this election has been going on for almost as long as Obama has been in the Senate.

Is this war in the real part of Virginia or the fake part of Virginia. Virginia is going for Obama. Real and "fake", they know who will bring the change they need.

Obama at Harbor Park, Norfolk, Virginia   October 27th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Planning a trip to downtown Norfolk tomorrow night to see Obama!!!

It's going be cold and the lines will be long, but when you in line with thousands and thousands of smiling, enthusiastic, motivated 'REAL' Virginians, who cares about the weather.

Isn't it about time Americans get excited about the future of the greatest nation in the world!!!

I am!

Gabr   October 27th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Reading other thread on Obama looks like he became a God like figure to many Americans. I wish people could look beyond a nice rhetoric, nice smile etc. Many leaders in the world in the past had it going for them even better than for Obama and Obamunists...look what happened to these countries......

adg   October 27th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

The republicans are the reason we have had so much problems with voting... they should have left things alone in 2000 and 2004. now its backfiring on them.

Sharon   October 27th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

I voted for Obama this past Saturday because Palin scares me to death.

pam Eugene OR   October 27th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

The Republicans just made it a lot easier with the conviction of Stevens. Maybe Palin can go home and try for his job.
She aleady has a head start on corruption with her ethics violation
God bless America and keep our candidates safe!

This deranged woman is inciting her followers instread of exciting them, her maniac supporters have already started marking "B" on their faces and making up stories to stoke racial tension and planning ethnic cleansing as if they were privy to choosing their own skin colors.
Insanity will never rule in this country. it's the land of the braves, the people that break barriers, and the land of the free.

Sarah is a joke! McCain is a joke for picking her!

Larrry   October 27th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

It should be Union Worker (singular) for McCain as you are the only one. McCain considers unions to be socialist organizations.

Dave in Houston   October 27th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

I wonder how many people she is scaring into voting for Obama.

I've already voted for Obama and, you are hearing it first here, he's going to pull off a stunning upset in Texas. The voting is heavy in the Democratic areas and the Republican areas have no excitement. The models are out-of-date and McCain-Palin are going to get a rude surprise from taking us for granted.

Please   October 27th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

With 310,530 new voters registered ......

Probably 310,530 names, embodied in 4 different people.

MissouriMom   October 27th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

What's WITH the McCain campaign? Are they just poor readers, slow to understand words or comprehend them? Or just pathological liars?

Why are they SO okay with taking a few words out of context and using them as a lie? Do they REALLY think America is so stupid to not realize a lie when being fed to them?

Look John... we're sorry you are so old. We're sorry you feel like this election is OWED to you. But you are an angry, bitter man who literally might be suffering from PTSD. Get some help. Every word out of your mouth has become some bitter made-up slogan, nasty innuendo or outright lie.

It's unbecoming for a presidential candidate. Hell, it's unbecoming for a real MAN.

Independent white female patriotic voter   October 27th, 2008 6:01 pm ET

VA and every toss up state is going to go to Obama if Mccain and Palin keep up their negative attacks. Their message of "Joe the plumber" though was catchy, it is a very poorly spun message. The plumber will get more bnefits ut of Obama, so what are they really saying? Their tax cuts are for the wealthiest americans not or plumber and builders and hair dressers etc...enough with the bull. Obama has given us every reason to trust him, believe in him and be on board with his plans for our economy. He has brought together the brightest minds to put together an economic summit to address our economy and the solutions we can expect to help us.
Americans are smarter than Mccain thinks and especially smarter than Palin thinks and we will not ask for another four years of the BUsh/Mccain economic policies. If Mccain and Palin cannot work together now, how can we expect them to work together for four years in the white house. They are too power driven with no solutions in place. Thanks but no thanks!

Brian   October 27th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Didn't they say that rural Virginians can vote on Wednesday, Nov. 5?

GA Independent   October 27th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

So, Palin who pals around with felons... (you betcha, I couldn't resist that one!) have you found the "Real" Virginia yet?

It's a glorious shade of blue with people that have big smiles because they have finally found the light.

Go Obama/Biden!

Australia   October 27th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

I just took a look at the stats available in CNN for early votes and they all show with almost a 2-1 ratio for democrats. INCLUDING LOUSIANA!

I feel a landslide coming along!

Red, Red WHINE!!   October 27th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Palin and her pal Stevens, another felon should campaign together! Hey, he could get some free clothes from the tax payers that way!

Douglas, Los Angeles California   October 27th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

Obama/Biden 08

Texas Straight Talker   October 27th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

I choose the candidate who embraces ALL americans with no reservations as to race, creed or color. I choose the candidate who has stayed on message and constantly reminded us of the opportunities we have to make a real difference in this country if we all work together to do so. I choose the candidate who has not allowed the unfair attacks launched by the other party to cause him to lash back but continued to fight on for a cause that is obviously greater than his own. I choose Senator Barrack Obama for the next President of the United States and absolutely nothing would change the best decision I have made in a very long time!

Eric   October 27th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Wrong... Military members are more democratic... thank about it, the majority of Military members come from "Fake America," you know, the Urban areas.

McCain is not going to win the Military vote, trust me.

Texas Mom for Obama   October 27th, 2008 5:59 pm ET

Spread the word and vote early! Don't wait for election day, because anything can happen. Traffic, sickness, family emergency, anything, so please don't wait. The GOP is trying to steal this election as we type! Not this year, and not this time, please early vote!!

FactCheck   October 27th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

How will the RNC manage to try to "purge" all the Democratic votes in Virginia this year? It would be funny if it weren't so true.

Mobius   October 27th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

But...but....but.....CNN has already proclaimed Obama victory weeks ago.

We can all stay home next Tuesday! Yay!

Independent Vote   October 27th, 2008 5:57 pm ET

The battle in every state is getting people out to vote. I have never understood why people don't vote-it's like leaving your future in the hands of strangers.

Just think how different the nation would be if everyone were involved.

Come on Virginia! You can do it! Yes you can!

Obama/Biden 08!!!

Paying Attention   October 27th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Gov. Palin should be ashamed of herself. I think she has put Senator Obama in danger with her rhetoric. Senator Obama is not a terriorist or a socialist.

She needs to make a public statement that Senator Obama is a good honorable man. She needs to stop the nonsense and talk about McCain campaign policy. Palin sell your policy and quite trying to tear others down.

I do not respect her anymore. She has put a man in danger due to her lies. Lying is a sin Gov. Palin.

Navy Veteran - Norfolk, Virginia The NorVA   October 27th, 2008 5:56 pm ET

Navy Virginia Veteran here, and count this vote for the DEMS, all DEM!

Billy   October 27th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Any comment from Palin about her felon buddy, Stevens? You know, the felon that started her state-wise political career? Palin buddies around with felons.

Nimi from NY   October 27th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Please every one should go and vote for every vote counts. It doesn't make any sense to register and not vote. One vote could decide an election. I wish we have early voting in NY, I would have voted already. I can't wait for Nov 4 to get here so I can vote. Please go vote Virginians.

UNION WORKERS FOR MCCAIN   October 27th, 2008 5:54 pm ET

Voter reg does not translate 100% into votes!!!!! GO McCain-Palin!!!!! Down with the demo-tards. Enough of this socialism and far left Barack talk.

Brian G, Sugar Land, TX   October 27th, 2008 5:53 pm ET

You betcha. Git them there voters out to the polls. 'Cause they most likey are gonna be votin' for Obama. You betcha.

-K&H-   October 27th, 2008 5:51 pm ET

I find it funny that if the Republicans don't let those votes count it will count against McCain since he actually is favored by the active serving men and women in Iraq. As least that is what the statics say it is favorable to him. So count or don't the votes it will bit you in the end McCain. VA is Obama country. LOL

Michael in Houston   October 27th, 2008 5:50 pm ET

Come on Virginians, go blue. Remember, for all you in the larger cities, Sarah Plain said that you are not real Americans. Go and show her and McCain what a real vote against them looks like, since they only believe the real americans live in towns less than a thousand.

Kate   October 27th, 2008 5:49 pm ET

Get out there and VOTE Obama supporters! Only we can make this happen! :-D
