CNN

The in fighting is a sign of what his presidency would be like even if he were running against a weak opponent. Its so bad that the GOP and RNC are participating in vote suppression tactics – on that issue news media investigative report should be started and all documentation of voter suppression turned over to the special prosecutor. Heads should role at the attempts to steal yet another election.

It's nice to see a little light hearted joking for a change.

Scott L. YOU MUST BE DREAMING. WAKE-UP.

The lights going out on MCain is a sign.....lights out.

Barack the Vote America. We are almost there!!

Obama/Biden '08

looks real bad for McCain/Palin. Can't wait. what a surprise it would be if Obama did lose.

Why has CNN not covered the 2004 story of Obama's comments that he felt that the federal judges should step in and MANDATE that money should be taken from the rich and redistributed to the poor?

That sure sounds like Marxist / Socialist comments to me!!!!

Great recovery by both.

Scott L- ARE YOU DREAMING? McCain is going to LOSE HUGE next Tuesday.

McCain higest: 180 EV
Obama highest: 380 EV

GOOD LUCK LOSING!

To anyone who really thinks they are going to get a tax break if you make under 250,000 dollars under Barack Obama, read Larry Kings Monday update and read the real truth about how much EVERYBODIES taxes go up when Bush's tax cuts expire, WHICH OBAMA HAS SAID HE INTENDS TO LET HAPPEN.

Scott...don't know which polls your looking at but all the other polls have Obama/Biden winning!!

Even Caribou Barbies own hometown newspaper has just endorsed Obama/Biden. Now that is a slap in the face if your own hometown newspaper won't endorse you!

Obama/Biden 08 & 12!!!

Why don't you report the truth about how Obama refuses to prove his eligibility for President? Interview Andy Martin and reveal the truth!!!! Instead of attacking everyone that wuestions Obama, why not look into the allegations yourself! You will look incompetent when the truth comes out, and we all know it eventually will.

To all Obama-Biden supporters, no complacency let's get to the finish line. GET OUT THE VOTE, VOTE FOR CHANGE.

America has spoken, the polls are showing the effect of the last 8 years of Bush and his administration. What ever happens this week and the polls start closing up closer, Obama will still win, so many have all ready voted and at this point, the people who have their minds made up are not going to change........if McCain does win over the undecided it still wouldn't be enough to win.......only some unforseen "Dirty Deed" done dirt cheap will give McCain and Palin the white house........

If you vote for John McCain you are voting for a man that maybe suffering from POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER which was never treated. I don"t think he is the candidate we want to lead
our country.

I can't wait for McCain/Palin supporters to see that the majority of the country are not racists on November 4th. Wonder how that's gonna feel to be a minority for the first time in their small minded lives.

Well, these glitches are MINOR glitches. What puzzles me are the reports about voter desqualification so near election day. Read the report on what happened in Georgia, here on CNN. After all, it's not as if it hasn't happened before, so there was plenty of time to fix all that went wrong in previous elections.

I'd expect the USA, which is so willingly to export democracy to often unwilling countries, would take care to ensure this most basic of democracy rights. That people can vote and ample opportunity given to check voters' elegibility and catch fraud.

In Georgia it seems they're asking for verification too late for voters to comply and that though voters can cast their provisional vote, it's left to officials to decided wether to accept them or not...

Very weird...

The media is making a huge deal of the fact that Sarah's makeup artist/stylist was paid more than John McCain's aides. Hey it's only fair! The stylist is doing a much better job. Even though McCain has lost, I do feel sorry for him as the John McCain we have seen since August is not the real John McCain. My only guess is that his campaign fed him full of hockydoodle about what he needed to do to win. Too bad he didn't have the backbone to stand up for what he truly believes.

Heard the GOP planned the "lights off" moment so that MCCain would have a similiar line like the one Obama made out west. The Reps are so predictable.

MCcain is a war monger. If Americans vote for this war monger because of ignorance, they will pay the price in the coming 4 years. The last 8 years were worse but the next 4 under McSame will be a a nightmare

said McCain. "I guess I'm a little old fashioned about these things.

Yes you are old for everything, Cindy knows that too

even the power grid is ready for this election to be done.

Everyone needs to get out and vote....no matter who you support...vote...if you do not then in my opinion you have no right to complain about the next president. Cast your vote.

At least they're both funny. It makes it easier to like both of them!

McCain is going to lose HUGE next Tuesday.

Can't wait.

Nice to know the viciousness of this campaign hasnt killed their humor out there

Haha, both were pretty good

Unplugging McCain may help him!

Too bad the lights didn't stay off on him. McCain in a liar and a fraud.

All bigots are going to lose big tuesday,I cant wait.

I hope that the CNN story on legitimate voters being purged from the voting registration records gets as much air time and law enforcement attention as has the ACORN story.

Obama says "someone from the "McCain campaign" kicked our plug out of the socket, not blaming Republicans as a whole. McCain on the other hand places blame on all democrats for the power failure and that isn't the way to get any democrats on his team. Saying the right things at the right time is why Obama is so favorable over McCain.

A civilization that lost its sense of humor is not worth saving.

"Tax and spend liberal... Socialist! Socialist!... Terrorist!"

Can McCain not come up with anything tangible in his campaign?

The country is in this mess because of NO TAX AND SPEND Conservatives! A few extra bucks on my taxes won't be missed and will go to the greater good.

GO OBAMA!

McCain is going to lose HUGE next Tuesday.

LIGHTS OUT McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

-V

scott please..... barack will win big, and it will be over before the old man and his joke of a running mate even realizes it.

obama/biden 2008!!!!

A return to humor would be welcome after all the debris from the Hate Talk Express the past month...

Its all over for McCain & Co.

Funny to see that while both were accusing the other, only Obama mentioned it was only a joke while McC uses even this to stir some bitterness.

scott L and which planet did you come from because it for sure wasnt this one and you are reading some other strange and different polls.

I love the symbolism of these events:

Obama – You don't need to do anymore talking. Go ahead and take your victory lap.

McCain – Lights out for you! It's over.

Maybe it was God's way of telling us these candidates aren't very good.

Barack Obama's background, ideology, and agenda are not distractions. Why should it be controversial to investigate them? In a democracy, shouldn't it be dangerous not to?

I LOVE IT, THEY ARE BOTH FUNY BUT MY FRIENDS, MAKE SURE YOU GO OUT AND VOTE EARLY FOR OBAMA, OKAY MY FRIENDS!

SCOTT THE PLUMBER, WHAT WORLD ARE YOIU LIVING IN, MY FRIEND!!

If you can vote early DO IT NOW.

Don't Wait and get stuck in long lines.

MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE GETS COUNTED

And check to make sure the machine shows that you voted for the person you WANT. There are reports of machines that vote for McCain even when you voted for Obama

OBAMA is going to WIN HUGE next Tuesday, with all the lies, name calling,negative ads and attacts from McCain that VP, we could never trust the Rupublicans, McCain and Bush made this MESS in our America, we need a leader who understand what we are going through, that person is OBAMA, so go out all Obama supporters and VOTE early to Change our great America.

at this point if you cant laugh you'll cry

BAROCK THE VOTE!!!!!! LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!! GET OUTTA THE WAY MCLOSERS!

and the biggest "glitch" of the election is Troopergate Palin.... what a LOSER

no experience. nobama. obama has less experience than any candidate in the history of our country. he has bad judgement, dangerous ideas and is dangerously naive about the world. say good bye to israel if obama is elected.

yah Scott L keep on dreamin!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

(Barack Obama), he told the crowd as he resumed, “Hello, hello, hello! I told you folks are having trouble making their electricity bills."

GOSH I LOVE THIS GUY!!

@scott...

It seems that you aren't aware that McCain is losing on all the polls...listenning to all the news stations, it seems that your "candidate" McCain has almost no chance of winning....

Your wishful thinking will not prevail....Obama will be our next president...All your blogs have been hateful and remember "God does not like ugly"

Hopefully the lights to the McCain/Palin ticket will be out for good on
November 4th.

I'm afraid if Obama loses there will be riots around the country. I don't want to vote for him because of his socialist policies but I'm scared not to because of the violence that might be occur.

MCCAIN IS GOING TO LOSE BIG BECAUSE OF PALIN NEXT TUEDSAY!!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!

Dream on to all the Repubs if you think Obama is going to loose...

Nov 5th: Be ready for President Barack Hussein Obama. Amazing to see how a young, intelligent, half white/half black man is able to beat the so called Maverick who has tried for 12 years but seems to FAIL! HMMMM, wonder why! Still no concrete ideas...all he does is attack, whine, complain, what a negative campaign he has ran for this whole election.

Time for good, +ve changes. Get out and Vote for Obama/Biden and be aware of purging of Votes especially from a group called YPM which is linked to "McCain".

One joke refers to the issues, the other just places blame. That is the fundamental difference.

The biggest partisan power failure has been the power source of the Republicans! They have failed to realize what a great source of power the internet can be for BOTH donations, communication on the ground and getting their message out there. Senator Obama's campaign has managed this resource with great skill and success. We look forward to a transparent government online and open for comment. Good -bye to the secret lobbyists and corporate interests deals in Washington. Good-bye to the greed and corruption of the past 7 years Good-bye to the partisan attacks, lies and smears done by people who call themselves Christian with a wink and a sneer. A new day is soon upon us!

SEVEN VP's have had to step into the role of the Presidency.
Thats a one in seven chance that Palin would become the leader of the free world. Are you willing to take that chance?

The Financial Times has endorsed Obama!!!

Well at least they both joked about each party having something to do with the difficulty. Any if Scott L. has his way we all will be in recession, depression and thinking of how we are going to live with another 8 hrs of Bush policies. Scott McCain don't have a plan unless you have made one for him.

This shows a playful side of both candidates. Its to late for Mccain, however, Barack Obama or "That one" already has my vote. Early voting is lovely!!

-Obama/Biden 08-

Maybe it's God's way of saying we've heard and seen enough of these two...

It's good they can laugh a little. Scott L stop being a hater...the only way Obama loses is if the republicans cheat like they did in 2000-2004!

At least we know they have a sense of humor...
Not as good as Huckabee's, though

This is good they can have humor. Everybody do not take everythng so serious and partisan.

LOL

Of those voting early the 'young' are unrepresented. Great ... they forced Obama on us and now are not going to show up!

Thank God that we finally ve a black president in personified Barack Obama.

The only way Obama will lose next Tuesday is if the Republicans cheat once again (which I don't put past them). If that happens, expect Americans to take to the streets in a major protest. We will not accept this in any fashion. For the good of this country, it is time that we stand up for our rights and point out that.McCain and Palin will destroy what is left of this nation. Don't let that happen.

How come no one is focusing on McCain's speech where he said other countries won't be testing him if he is elected President he will be the one testing other countries. That is scary because it is a fact and he will bring on more wars and longer wars as that is about all he knows.

I think Palin's most divisive attacks really have been the worst that the MCcain campaign has had.

landslide for obama

Scott,

He won't lose and if he did it certainly wouldn't be "HUGE" come on.

Wish the campaign had such a tone through out.
Scott L. don't go into exile on Tuesday.

More comedy, from both parties could have made this election more tolerable.

The mud slinging has been the, THE worst of any election I have ever witnessed, well, let me take that back. The Bush Politicos were the best of the worst, I gotta say.

Agreed Doug. Then there's people like Scott L who have to make it into something nasty. I wonder who he supports. :-/

Scott,

Joke of the day! Thanks for that.

Voters Beware the Repubs are trying to prevent registered voters from voting and there are voting machines that vot for McCain when you select Obama

Eight days and counting. Early voting looking good. Go OBAMA

Its good to see the "other" side of the candidates! They were both engaging at the banquet last week also. Both guys are good people, the personal attacks have made it harder to see.

Is this really news?

Mc Cain is over. We have 9 days left and he still has no clear message.

Hey John. the Lightning was courtesy of God.

VOTE OBAMA-VIDEN NOV.4th

A little off subject–CNN smear campaign against Sarah Palin and her innocent family is detestable. I predict CNN loses thousands of viewers.Also, making fun of nurses, plumbers, builders and other ordinary people who are the backbone of this country will not serve CNN well. Good luck catering to welfare recipients with Obama's "spread the wealth" policies. You college students may as well be professional students as you will not have a job if Obama is elected.

BREAK THE AUDIO CNN......EXPOSE OBAMA'S AGENDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2001 AUDIO OF BARACK'S REAL CHANGE AGENDA.

Scott L., if you're right (and you're not), America would lose HUGE next Tuesday.

Scott L, keep dreaming...

I'm glad both candidates are able to keep their sense of humor in the tense final stretch. We need leaders who can collect their emotions.

Instead of this article that has no bearing whatsoever on this election, why can't CNN share news of the testy Biden interview in Florida, or Obama's audio in 2001 lamenting the fact that the Supreme Court has not "addressed" redistribution of wealth and outlining approaches to legislate it?

I'm sure many will respond that these items are just pulled from Right Wing talking points (actually not), but I'd hope that news outlets could share news the way it happens, and let the people decide if it's relevant.

Get ready folks – the only news that will be shared for the next 4 years (and therefore 8), will be news that praises Obama for all things right in the world and blames someone else for all the bad. What will it take for intellectual honesty and journalistic integrity in reporting?

Alittle humor is so much fun and life goes on. Vote for McCain is a vote for war and the draft... Vote for Obama, maybe diplomacy. You can have dipolmacy and win wars.

This Government can be dilusional, you think that you can wipe out terrorist groups, think again.. Think of the terrorist group like cockroaches, you can wipe out a nest, but months latter they are back.

So be it, the world hates us so as it is, you think McCain is the answer when his answer is war and Obama is peace, which do you choose.

Go Obama/Biden08/12

Amusing as their comments were, this is not really worthy of a news report. Please CONCENTRATE ON THE ISSUES at stack this election cycle... or the lack of them in McCain and Pailn's case!

Oh, that's good stuff. Always nice to see a story like this come out, especially with the intensity of both campaigns. Too bad it'll all be for naught.

CTHULHU '08– WHY PICK THE LESSER EVIL?

Hmmmph! The lights go out ANYWHERE McCain or Palin speak!

Lights out is a good ending for McCain. He will still be talking to himself in the dark on Nov. 5th

I CAN'T WAIT TILL NOV. 4, IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL NOV. 4, IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL NOV. 4, IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!

I CAN'T WAIT TILL NOV. 4, IT CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08 ALL THE WAY!

VOTERS BEWARE the republicans are at it again this year. They have managed to get voters taken off the rolles. There are voting machines that VOTE McAin when you select Obama. There will be other Republican moves to try to prevent people they think are pro Obama from voting.
If you see anything strange report it! Ask to talk to the Votiing official if you have any problems.

MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE GETS COUNTED

Nothing wrong with either one of their responses. That is how it really should be. " Gentle " teasing, and we can deal with that..

BTW Scott--Get in the real world.

Ohio - and the country - will overwhelmingly choose President Obama.

(You will learn to love him, Scott L.)

Thanks for reporting these. It's nice to see a sense of humor from McCain and Obama. Everything has been so nasty and serious due to the close race and McCain's quiet desperation. I will be so happy when President Obama is named next week, so he can really start working with everyone to save this country.

lol surprisingly McCain's joke was better.
And Scott L, i'm not sure exactly what election you're watching

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

To Scott L.
The article was supposed to let off steam from all the nastiness especially on the repubs side...you need a cold splash in the Alaskan icy waters to quell your boiling disappointment. Be cool.

this isn't news

Help! someone send out the lawyers because the republicans are doing it again purging valid voters from voting in this election. This is plain wrong and this is the real voter fraud. Republicans are messing with the wrong camp because the Obama camp is ready to fight for every valid voter this election cycle.

Where is ACLU when you really need them? HELP! This is not third world politics please help they are denying voters out there and this is serious.

Scott L is hallucinating, for the first time in 8 years we will have someone who isn't a PG president (Pure Garbage).

If McCain wins it will be obvious that he stole the election illegally and his first task on day 1 will be to stop the riots he will cause by cheating his way to the presidency.

If Obama, gets the White House he had better be as good as we are being told that he is, or its going tobe a 1term flash in the pan. Personally, I will be holding my breath for the next 4 yrs., cause neither McCain or Obama, are really any good .

2012 Clinton returns

go home mccain you lousy excuse for humanbeing.and take that alaskin carrabou with you. CAINT WAIT GOOD BY GOOD RIDDENCE

Landslide Victory!
A President with a mandate!

Obama 08

The selection of Governor Palin will be the reason for John McCain's loss. However it is representative of the entire lack of a strategic focus of his campaign.

He was a reactionary riverboat gambler, not a planner ... not a builder of a winning effort.

John McCain didn't vett Sarah Palin ... he really didn't know what he was "buying" when he picked her.

In some fairly softball interviews [e.g. Couric], Palin showed us that she is not ready for prime time ... she doesn't have the goods.

Not this woman ... not ever

Barack will lose huge next Tuesday, Scott? Have you been watching the news or paying attention to the polls at all? I do predict that the election will tighten in the final days until the 4th, but Obama's lead is too commanding for him to lose. McCain supporters, stop being sore losers and just admit that you're losing. Get over it.

Obama/Biden 08

Is this news? Concentrate on thev issues, please.

I pray that Obama win to become our next President Obama is so uplifting and bring so much hope, postive, unity Obama is the only man that is fit to move this country in a postive and new direction and fix this Finanical Crisis.

This is non-news. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE

Mc Cain is going to loose . Mc Cain to much Temper, an likes to go to War ,thats all he knows WAR WAR ,an stupid he lies just like Busch .AMERIKA be wear , MC Cain is all wrong to be President

Nothing like humor to relieve tension, but why DID the Republicans lose power? Doesn't Palin have a direct link to God? Or is that all in her head? I guess there has to be something in there.

Scott L – you always miss the point, don't you?

Barack handled the situation nicely. He took the time to shake hands and mingle with the crowd.

yeah right scott....

OBAMA-BIDEN 08 BY LANDSLIDE

Well, the end is near. So, gather all the information you can possible get and make a choice. This process, to elect a president ,has been long and hard on the American voter. Both candidates have misrepresented either other and going to fact check hasn't helped. Need to check voting records (if available), past experiences (if available) and one strengths. We need to go beyond the rhetoric and look at the real facts (if available). One candidate made them available, while the other plays secretive and selective games. If you kept out with the entire process, from the primaries until now , you know McCain is an open book and Obama you can't find the key to open his book!

Pelosi, Reid, and Frank.

Gotta love how Obama zealots have no clue who these three people are.

It is scary actually.

All 3 are anti-military might and pro-taxes to fund social welfare programs.

Not enough money in old John's campaign. What a pity.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Barack- please spread the wealth, I know our constitution is fundamentally flawed. Thank god you were born, so you could turn us into Europe.

Playfulteasing is very valuable this election year. The campaign has been pretty nasty and aggressive, so a little ice breaking and letting off of steam is a good thing, regardless of your political persuasion. : )

Obama is going to lose HUGE next Tuesday.

Can't wait.

Both had pretty good responses lol.
