You know I am so tired of people saying we should be afraid of what may happen if Obama is elected. Why? Because he is an African American? Please! The GOP has strategically tried to divide this nation, and it's so sad. The only thing that is different about African Americans, Whites, Asians, and Hispanics is our skin color and culture. We should be asking ourselves why did it take so long for us to potential have an African American President. We need more representations of diversity in this country!

All I can say is WOE to America if this man OBAMA who is so full of graft (REZKO, WRIGHT, PLEGHER, TERRIOST, DONATIONS TO REGISTRATION FRAUD ORGANIZATION) gains the White House. With the majority in the House and the Senate we will be a third world country in three years. REMEMBER AMERICA YOU HAVE DONE IT TO YOURSELF OVER THE PAST EIGHT YEARS WHEN I SAID IT WAS WRONG TO PUT BUSH IN THE OVAL OFFICE JUST THE SAME AS I AM TELLING YOU NOW YOU ARE FOLLOWING UP WITH A TOTALLY WORSE PERSON.

Well, It's time for McCain's big "October Surprise".

This morning, McCain called for Alaska Senator Ted Stevens to step down after his fraud conviction.

So, Stevens steps down, leaving Alaska Gov. Palin the responsibility to choose a successor.

So, Palin quits the losing McCain campaign (that she isn't happy with anyway) and, to no one's suprprise, appoints herself Senator for Alaska. Palin goes home to launch her write-in campaign to keep the Senate seat (at least she'll be able to call her own shots in that campaign).

McCain then names former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Ridge as his new, October Surprise Vice-President, because he's desparate to win PA!

Then, in true McCain form, he lies to everybody (again) and says that this was his plan all along!!!

Somebady check real quick – Did Stevens call for McCain to resign during the Keating scandal?????

McCain needs to GET OUT OF PA !!!!!!!!! Use his money into maintaining down ticket candidates in Indiana, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina, and Florida. Everyday in Pa costs his Campaign LOTS OF MONEY that they DO NOT HAVE. He needs to change his tactics to maintain some dignity for what is left of the Republican Party. Bush has cost them enough.....McCain needs to stop the bleeding if INDEED he is a Party Person.

I live in Pa, and the amount of ads that McCain is running here and the negative tone, or the fact that the claims have been prioven false is what he is banking on.
Obama's ads are positive, saying get out and vote..
I am tired of mcCain and his negative tone, he ahs nto said what he will do , offered any plan...he has been ebhind in everything and if he is claiming to be a leader look at the disaray of his campaign,...if he cannot lead that how can he lead the nation.
I have been a republican all my life, but my wife and I are voting for obama/biden, we are tired of the negative tone of the republicans and will not give them our votes.

I also watch some of both speeches. They were very different. Obama was up beat and postitive. He said what he will do as President. Mccain tried to scare me in not voting for Obama. No reasons why I should vote for him. I must admit, I've been scared in not voting for the other guy in past elections, NOT THIS TIME!

How can someone say they're an educated voter and vote for the McCain / Palin ticket? I'm sorry, but education and Sarah Palin in the same context is definitely an oxymoron. Remember, Sarah Palin couldn't even come up with a simple answer to a simple question about what material she reads. Intelligence for America – Vote Obama / Biden '08!

We must stand together and vote for John McCain for more of the same.

Let's face it, Americans do not like change.

McCain has more inside connections with Wall St...

McCain firmly believes in staying the course in Iraq... Just a little longer and we will be victorious just like Vietnam. McCain is a expert in Vietnam... He is a Vietnam Veteran with benefits.

So everyone run out to the voting booth and cast your vote for John McCain for more of the same.

There's little that the McCain/Palin ticket can do now to move the numbers in their favor, the Republicans failed to bring to their campaign a clear message, and that has made them erratic, exactly what happened to Hillary in the Primaries, but unlike her, who was dealing with an unknown opponent, they should've learned along the way, that 1. Experience vs. naivete did not work. 2. Smears did not work either and finally, attacking their opponent would backfire, just as it happened with Hillary. Evidently McCain has proven that old dog cannot learn new tricks.

McCain hoped to win Pennsylvania by dividing it...appealing to the more conservative middle and western part of the state. That is a microcosm of Republican politics for the past 8 years concocted by Karl Rove-the politics of division.

Well...it's not going to work anymore. Americans are tired of politicians trying to divide us. Palin talks about "Real America" and parts of the country that are more patriotic...this old strategy is a thing of the past.

Obama is the future. "There is not a Red America and a Blue America..there is only the United States of America!"

7 more days! Obama/Biden 08!

Robert, you hit the nail right on the head. I was undecided before, and I did my research. Obama is a very smooth talker, and people are falling for it. You people are in for a very rude awakening. I am hearing radio interviews of small business owners who are already planning cuts and layoffs for when Obama gets elected. I am just baffled that in the middle of this crisis, people would rather go with the inexperienced, most liberal person to ever run for the presidency. What makes you think he is going to fix everything? Because he says so? And do you really think he will say "no" to Barney Frank, who wants to cut 25% of the military budget?

Good!

McCain only wants to win this election at the expense of the American people. He does not want to go down in the history books as losing to a Black man.

In addition, Obama's economic policies echo those of Ronald Reagan that were continued by Bill Clinton as David Gergen pointed out last night on AC360. They are hardly new and they are hardly socialism.

In addition, I finally believe the American people are seeing through the lies of the Republicans. McCain and the RNC have released another ad based on lies.

McCain is a liar at least as far as the ads he is using to try and win this election.

Obama may not be perfect but I will take a young man over a ranting and raving spoiled, old brat who thinks he is owed the presidency because of his family line.

We here in Florida will not just give McCain the state. If he is struggling in Florida then he is in real trouble. We will take a one point lead. A 1 point lead gives Obam 27 electoral votes.

No matter which candidate you support, you cannot deny that McCain's campaign strategists did a horrible job for him since naming Palin VP. One week before an election, no candidate should be fighting to make up a 10 pt deficit in one state as their last chance to win.

One last comment for the day.
Look what Obama did for Chicago, his home town.
Number one in the country...thats right folks, Chicago is number one in the country. Number one highest murder rate. More people are murdered in Chicago every day than there are people murdered in Iraq every day. Maybe we should pull out of Chicago and why hasn't any of Obama's dreams done any good in his home town and you want this guy running our country. If he can't fix little old Chicago, how is he going to fix the US of A?

Learn about this man Mr. Obama. Do NOT just go along with the promise of hope… I know we all need things to be better. Obama is not the answer he promises:

From Audacity of Hope:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From Dreams of My Father:
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."
"I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

Watching McCain now, same old speech, more about what Obama will do then what he will do........Joe the Plumber needs to be flushed down the toliet.......McCain has fumbled on several things, he can't even get his words out.........more dirt throwing, more lies, and he thinks he is going to win PA.? I think his age is really starting to show, someone needs to get his room ready in the OLD FOLKS HOME.........he running on creating wealth? Where's he been these last 8 years?

You can thank George W Bush for electing the countries first black man. If he had not run the country into the mess it is today no way Obama has a prayer of a chance.

Bush will not only go down as the worst president in history but also the reason for a black man becoming president.

Bush, what a complete disaster.

While I am not a reptilian stratgist, I do not see the logic in using limited time and resources in PA especially when RCP shows him losing in Ohio, Floriday and Missouri. Seems he should be shoring up the ones he stands a chance in.

People get out and vote for Obama/Biden and in such #'s that there can be no doubt who we want to run this country.

If you can vote early do so so those that can't will not have such a long line to wait in come Nov.4.

We don't want a Republican controlling court to decide this election.
