(CNN) - John McCain does not appear to be making up ground in Ohio, the key battleground state that is crucial to keeping his White House hopes alive.
According to CNN's latest poll of polls of the state, the Arizona senator now trails Obama by 6 points there, 50 percent to 44 percent. That gap is two points wider than it was Monday and double what it was one week ago.
Election Center: Check out recent Ohio polls
No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, and barring a major upset in another big state, the state's 20 electoral votes are a must win for McCain. The Republican presidential candidate is expected to spend two full days there later this week.
The latest Ohio poll of polls consists of recent surveys from LA Times/Bloomberg (October 25-27), Reuters/Zogby (October 23-26), and CNN/Time/ORC (October 19-21). CNN Poll of Polls do not have a margin of error.
Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today and is largely due to a newly released survey from LA Times/Bloomberg showing McCain down 7 points in the state. The Florida poll of polls also includes surveys from Suffolk University and Reuters/Zogby.

Lies, hate, and fear mongering only last so long John.
Can someone stop Rove, Palin, Tom Delay and Senator Craig from destroying social security ?
Hopefully, McCain, 73, will retire now.
OMG Sarah Palin is going to be on Entertainment Tonight THURSDAY. If MARY HART can eat her for lunch like Couric and Gibson did, I think that should pretty much clench it for our man OBAMA!!!!!
But on the flip side, McCrypt's got Obama right where he wants him, so, this week McCrypt is one happy man!
The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4
Think its a typo, or is McCain even losing to himself?
Who is trailing who is Florida?
I think you meant to say : "The Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points "
Now that it is appearant that we no longer buy the GOP lies, why not just stop wasting the taxpayers money on expensive clothes and campaign rallys and go back home to Sedona.
Sharing oil wealth in Alaska is Socialist a.k.a. Marxist.
Palin the Marxist does not impress me.
Keating 5 McCain and his 92% voting with Bush also does not seem like he's a "Maverick" Unless Maverick has been redefined to mean Bush Puppet
Last paragraph: "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent." seems to be an incorrect. Unless McCain thought he himself was G. W. Bush and started following himself around.
hey, ho, way to go ohio =)
what do you call it when even a bunch of dumb rednecks are so scared and outraged that they'll vote for a black man? you call it the death knell of the GOP.
I believe that John McCain has tested the American Public and has been found wanting.....
You have a serious typo: "The Arizona senator trails McCain" - you have McCain trailing himself here! You mean, of course, "trails Obama".
This isn't for posting - just a heads up (from an editor).
TO JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN
ICEBERG RIGHT AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BOTH my parents are Buckeyes
and My SON is a Buckeye
I'm a Texan
McPain is a LAME PAIN!!!
WE do not want HIM and his girlie goo bee bop princess
IN THE PICTURE!!!
SAYONARA GOP poopers
How can "the Arizona senator" trail himself?
i guess Joe 'the moron' isn't banking any new voters for McCain.
Ohio likes McCain!!!
I VOTED!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN I VOTED!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN
No one in the world is ever going to take the American voter very seriously, given the attention given to:
1. Sarah Palin (one who cannot even run a village in Africa)
2. Joe the ???( someone who does not even understand why people pay taxes, and could be the next Republican candidate for office).
This has been one long joke, and it continues!!!
All Obama needs is one of these two states to win. Let's hope that the Republicans can't cheat again and cost this nation one of the greatest leaders since JFK.
McCain is trying to make up ground?
That's weird. Up until now all he's been doing is making up facts.
I trust polls as far as I can throw them. Everyone who can vote needs to vote. If you don't, you have no right to complain about anything. You can vote 10 times each week for American Idol or Dancing with the Stars but you can't get off your fat rear ends and vote!! There are millions of people across this world who would die for the opportunity to vote in a free election. Put the Cheetos and the remote down and get out and Vote!!
Heres are some facts for America:
No one in the world is ever going to take the American voter very seriously, given the attention given to:

Obamanation = Abomination, it is that obvious!
"...the Arizona Senator trails McCain...." uhhh, typo? Seems to me "The best political team on television" could at least proof read it's posts.
So CNN has decided to not carry Sen. Obama's address Wed. night. The reason offered, to not interrupt their "news flow". By all means we wouldn't want to miss McCain or Palin spouting their treasonous lies for half an hour.
CNN has no problem allowing Lou "Nazi in an independent suit" Dobbs from spouting his racist rhetoric for an hour every night.
Disgusting.
I know this will be "in moderation" forever of deleted, but I've made my point.......yet certain posters get every utterance posted.
How can he?
Fact check: Would Obama hike taxes on small businesses that employ 16 million?
The Verdict: False. McCain uses an overly broad interpretation of the NFIB survey's figures — applying Obama's tax plan to those figures in a way that is highly unlikely to match reality.
Fact check: McCain tax cuts give $200 billion to corporations, $4 billion to oil companies?
The Verdict: True. Obama's statement accurately reflects two studies of McCain's tax proposals.
How do you say, liar, hypocrite, flip-flop, clueless!
Palin calls for Stevens to resign
Posted: 03:00 PM ET Palin says Stevens should step aside.
(CNN) – Sarah Palin said Tuesday Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens should resign his Senate seat, in a statement released hours after John McCain made a similar declaration.
The comments come a day after Palin would not say what she thought the best course of action for the recently convicted senator should be.
Stevens verdict: Palin reacts
Posted: 06:04 PM ET From CNN Political Producer Peter Hamby
Gov. Sarah Palin reacted to Sen. Ted Stevens' guilty verdict Monday.
RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) — Sarah Palin said Monday Sen. Ted Stevens' guilty verdict "is a sad day for Alaska."
"This is a sad day for Alaska and a sad day for Senator Stevens and his family," she said on the tarmac at Richmond International Airport.
I ask the people of Alaska to join me in respecting the workings of our judicial system and I'm confident that Senator Stevens from this point on will do the right thing for the people of Alaska," she said.
How does he trail himself by 4 points? How do you do that?
cnn & other major networks of non-journalism continually say McCain behind in the polls but talk to majority of people and you sure hear a different story. Just another form of brainwashing by biased, corrupt, evil news media.
CNN Correct the 1st sentence of the last paragragh of this story.
CNN is simply been lying to folks about anything fair and balanced. They have been using the Tax Policy Center as part of their "Fact Checks" or what I would like to call reality in the eyes of CNN. The FACT is, the Tax Policy Center is part of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institute, which are part of the Democratic Party. They state in their fact checks that the Tax Policy Center is nonpartisan, which is simply a flatout lie. They want the Democrats to win because their world view is the Democratic Party. Just think, if Obama wins, one party controls all the federal government power, in line with China and Russia, which is closer to what we will become than the America we all know and love. For all it's faults, this is the greatest country in the world, don't let power be in the hands of one party because they will say anything, and do anything, and the media outlets like CNN will never hold them accountable.
cnn,
your numbers are only based on what you WANT the people to see. you are using numbers that do not compute. your goal is to make the mccain supporters think that the election is a done deal. the people are not stupid, the people know what yyou are doing and the people also know that mccain will win the election.
You dont have to post this just noticed this typo
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. "
I think the Arizona senator trail Obama...
thanks
Why does McCain look like Nikita Khrushchev right before he started banging his shoe?
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent."
He is trailing himself?
One of McCain advisors just called Palin a "Whack Job".
I agree !
This may be why they are losing.
I always thought she was a WHACK JOB !
I am glad they think so also.
McCain does not have a real plan, just lies about Obama.
your article doesn't make sense in the poll of polls. you say that the arizona senator trails McCain, but McCain is the Arizona senator. Do you mean Obama is ahead by 4 there too? Totally awesome if so!!
The reality of McCain's health care plan has been revealed yesterday.
Now the posturing is over and people will move towards Obama.
NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THE ATTEMP ON SEN OBAMA
LIFE. A BLACK MAN HAS ALWAYS HAD TO WORK TWICE AS
HARD AS A WHITE MAN TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING. OBAMA HAS
TO CONCENTRATE ON WINNING THE ELECTION AND STAYING
ALIVE WHILE JOHN MCAIN JUST HAS TO WORRY ABOUT
WINNING. THAT WHY I VOTED FOR OBAMA
The Arizona Senator trails McCain by 4 points? Isn't McCain the Senator from Arizona running for President?
Why is Lou Dobbs allowed to wave his independent flag when he is as far if not further right than his fat slob clone Rush Limbaugh? Shouldn't he be on Faux Noise with the other racist hate mongers spreading his Goebbells like propaganda?
I know this will never get posted you cowards.
NOW IT'S TIME TO SAY GOOD BYE TO ALL MY MCCAIN FRIENDS
OOO B AAA MMM AAAA YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 Points there, 49 percent to 45 percent." according to this article McCain is losing the race with himself.
One week to go and all those Obama supporters need to get out and VOTE! Obama can win this but only if people VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
Johnny o Johnny how can you be dumber
You brought on an incompetent VP newcomer
With that you lost our vote over the summer
And are left with the support of a wannabe plumber
And who really cares what Joe really thinks
He's so out of touch and his opinion stinks
of sewage, and lies, and the Koolaid he drinks
and the Palin stands by and denies her links
to a crowd that is smitten by her lies as she winks
Smiling unknowing they sit on the brink
while the music is playing their titanic sinks
I voted on Sun. I waited 3 hrs to vote. I know this isn't a scientific poll but 3 out of the 4 people in line that I saw were voting for Obama.
This is great news!!!
Now, all that has to happen is that you all get out and vote on Nov 4th!!
Don't let McCain slip in from behind because you think Obama is far enough ahead that you don't need to vote!!!
Send a message to the Republican party!!!!
bYE bYE McShame !!
You are out of Touch, Out of Ideas and Out of Time.
We need a leader for the future betterment of America.
George Bush's failed policies will not work.
No more 4years of the Same.
We Need Change and We Need It Now.
VOTE BARACK OBAMA
Why, why, why doesn't America vote by mail like we do in Oregon and have for over a decade with absolutely no problems?????
Why stand in line for hours, why worry about not enough ballots to go around, why worry about hanging chads, why worry about bad weather, and on and on.
We have no chads to hang! We even have a paper trail since we vote by filling in those little circles with a pen or pencil, just like you did in school!
We take our time over two weeks, then be sure the ballot is mailed in or turned in to the county court house from whence it came.
In fact, OUR ballots are among the first to be tallied after 8 pm on election night and the media gets the results posthaste! Ask CNN!
Why is Oregon the only state with vote by mail??????????
Some people get absentee ballots to try to mimick Oregon's system. It just isn't the same!
I think many of us are realizing that we just cannot take a 10% chance on McCane brand of "change." Clearly they have no real ideas of how to effectively steer this nation out of the Bush ditch...for they spend far too much time focusing on their opponents...
Fired up ~ Ready to Go!

This article made me feel much better with the other news agencies indicating a tightening of the polls. I just hope everyone goes out and votes. Obama is our only chance at redemption. McCain is a scary old man.
You flubbed the story: "The Arizona senator trails McCain..."
Obama could win without any of the following states:
CO, OH, FL, NC, MO, IN, NV, and even ME
Do the Math! Go out and Vote!
"Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent."
TYPO ALERT CNN....you mean, "the arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there"....
2/3 of the military is supporting McCain and Obama wants to be the commander -in-chief for the world^s strongest military.....
Oh no, 'The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points ' So McCain is trailing himself, or is there another Senator from Arizona in the race?
$5K for healtcare could disappear in a 1-day hospital stay. Ridiculous! How does McCain propose seniors, disabled, or the poor travel accross state lines for better plans when most of these people have little to no access to private transportation? I don't think Disabled Transit services go that far.
McCain keeps saying that Obama is a socialist because he wants to raise the upper tax bracket by 3 percentage points. If that is being a socialist, the U.S. has been a socialist country for 100 years, which is about how long we have had a progressive income tax.
My friends...we are losing in Ohio, we can't catch up with him in Pennsylvania, he has Florida all locked up, and he just turned Virginia from red to purple to blue. My Friends, I am now officially running against Obama, Bush, and Palin ever since she went rogue. My friends...I GOT THEM ALL RIGHT WHERE I WANTED!!
but.... what about Joe the Plumber?????
he's FROM Ohio......
You mean... that's NOT making a difference....
hmm... go figure....
YAAAAY!!
The poll numbers sound great, but don't let up, Dems!
VOTE, VOTE, talk to your friends & be sure they vote, early if possible, & be on the lookout for vote stealing!
Obama/Biden .08
Good.. nice to see the people of Ohio are not being scared by McCain's propaganda.
the article says the arizona senator trails mcain 49 to 45 . i think is a mistake . any way this is good i know what they mean obama biden 2008
The fat lady is starting to sing.
John McCain has shown his incompetence and inability to be an effective leader of this nation by the horrific dysfunctional campaign he has run for the past 2 years.
We are trying to turn the corner on incompetent Presidents.
Come on Ohio! I don't want McCain in! Don't get complacent, VOTE!!!
He's done! It's over!
No, surprise. McCain & Palin has waged a mean, vile and lie-filled campaign. Showing us, that when McCain is down, he is a mean, rude and sarcastic man. We have only to look at his behavior during the debates with Sen. Obama to see the.........true.....character of McCain.
I will be writing this in my comments over and over and over, because its clear to me, that the Republicans DO NOT GET IT.
For years, I have watched their party become more and more vitriolic. With each campaign the Republicans have waged meaner, nastier and more vile campaigns. Sadly, Americans have elected them, rewarding them for their ........evil ways.
Now, Republicans are, God willing, going down! They will not SEE the reason they failed. So I will tell them here:
AMERICA REJECTS YOUR POLITICS OF LIES-HATE-FEAR-AND-DIVISION! WE REJECT 'FAUX NEWS' AND ALL THE AM RADIO HATE-MONGERS!
LEARN TO BE CIVIL, OR YOU WILL BE SHUNNED FOR GENERATIONS.
Just heard that Gov. Christ has extended hours of voting in Florida,
This is a serious blow for McCain,perhaps he is looking out for himself in 2012.
The timing could not be worse with Obama and Bill Clinton in central Florida on Wednesday for their first joint rally.
Ohio doesnt seem to be moving his way either.
Neither are the usual GOP voter supression antics in the courts are going for him.
LANDSLIDE !!!!
THATS BECAUSE HE HAS PALIN TRYING TO STEEL THE SPOTLIGHT AND NO ONE LIKES A GREEDY, CONIVING WOMEN. PALIN MAKES MCCAIN LOOK REALLY BAD...BAD MOVE MCCAIN, THIS BACKFIRED BIG TIME.
OBAMA/BIDEN
Today I saw a bumper sticker in Oakland Ca – (Obama country) the bumper sticker said HOPE OBAMA. Prior to seeing this, I read an article about the cause of the 1929 stock market crash commenorated today. Cause: "a wave of speculative-driven euphoria that experts say was clearly unsustainable". Sound familiar? This is the Obama grandiosity. Obama, a man with no experience to be President and the time he was in the Senate spent two years preparing to run for President and has very little next to nothing to show for legislative accomplishments. The problem I have with this beside people living in fantasy land, is that Obama feeds off this mythology which is clearly born out of the last 8 years of a leadership vacuum. Obama parades around Europe as a hero – for me, it's unethical, not to mention a candidacy built on a sense of entitlement.
oh Johnny Boy
the pipes the pipes are calling...
My grandmother was a very intelligent and I believe sometimes blessed individual with insight that most people never know. She told me on January 17, 2007 the day after Barrack Obama annouced he would run for President, that he would win the race and become one of Americas best and loved presidents that the world has ever seen. I truely hope the last part she told me doesn't come true. It would be a great lost for America and its citizens.As a Canadian, I will be overjoyed to see Americans vote for Barrack Obama and Joe Biden. This will finally put the rest of the worlds view of American in a better light. While the rest of us think America is doing the right thing by electing Obama, there are many in your own country who still believe that electing a black man is wrong. The majority of these people are getting smaller and smaller every day since a lot of them care more for their pocket books and their way of life in the near future, then the color of a person skin. A lot of Americans are starting to understand that a mans character is much more important than he's color or race. I'm starting to feel pride and admiration for my brothers and sisters nest door. I will be celebrating with all of you the day Obama is elected to be your next President.
good!
I'm almost sorry to leave this message, but it's on my mind. Every photo or video of McCain shows Cindy standing right behind him making faces. She shakes her head in disgust and screws her face up like she bit a lemon. She's an ugly sucker. It shows McCain's bad judgement that he married her.
Oh, wait, she's worth $100M. That's obviously why he married her.
"The Arizona senator trails McCain" Huh? Do you mean, "The Arizona senator trails Obama".
The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent.
??
VOTE NOV 4 !!!!
The Republicans have a plan to steal the election if you don't!!!
VOTE NOV 4 !!!!
The Republicans have a plan to steal the election if you don't!!!
VOTE NOV 4 !!!!
The Republicans have a plan to steal the election if you don't!!!
In the last part of the article shouldn't it read, "the Arizona Senator trails Obama (you have McCain) by 4 points.
The race also appears to be tightening in Montana and North Dakota with Obama leading in ND by a narrow margin. If youth voter complacency, African American voter suppression, and the dreaded Bradley Effect fail to be factors onnext Tuesday's election than it looks like Obama may win this race by a margin not seen since the first Clinton election.
Thank goodness they have "Joe the Plumber" to come save them.
Obama 08.......the intellegent choice
Florida must be a fun place if "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. "...I think that's supposed to be "The Arizona Senator trails Senator Obama by 4..."
Vote Early!
Vote Absentee! (go Navy!)
just freakin Vote!
CNN can you please check your details regarding Polls update (Arizona Senator trails Mcain by 4 points)??
Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today and is largely due to a newly released survey from LA Times/Bloomberg showing McCain down 7 points in the state. The Florida poll of polls also includes surveys from Suffolk University and Reuters/Zogby.
Keep the faith Ohio and Florida! Don't let these last minute, last ditch hail Mary attempts by the McCain camp turn you back from what we must do on Tuesday – elect Barack Obama.
cnn rejected obama's 30 minutes add buy!!!! cnn dont think you can explain yourselves out of this one""
"The Arizona senator trails McCain" – Have the editor take a look at that one. Obama '08
***VOTE***VOTE**VOTE***
Obama is the man for the job!
Let's go with brains this time!
The "Arizona Senator trails McCain" in NH? That's a tough freaking race!!
Yes we can!! Getting ready for a landslide! This race will be over before the polls close on the West Coast!
Obama/Biden '08/'12
If he talks like a socialist, behaves like a socialist, gives speeches like a socialist, urges like a socialist, even lies like a socialist, then IT MUST BE A SOCIALIST. We do ant to head in that direction if we do not want to get there (a socialist state.)
Stop fantasizing and call it like it is.
Joe the plumber gives better interviews than Sarah Palin. What's up with that?
One question: is Earned Income Credit (EIC) socialism. If so we need to redo the tax code because some socialism is already written in it. If you don't know what EIC is, look it up at IRS.gov website.
The only thing McPain and Palin could "MAKE UP', would be more attacks and lies!
Enough is enough. We aren't going to fooled again but scare tactics and lies.
VOTE OBAMA/ BIDE
Looks like joe the fraud isnt cutting the muster for you.
Well, with the info that is being put on the web site about the electoral college votes already won by Obama through early voting, why go vote on Nov 4? I want to know when all of the early voting stuff started. I don't ever recall this happening before, so what is up with it now? And why haven't I been told I can vote early? Early or not, I will vote Republican as I have in every presidential election since 1980!! Obama may think he has already won, but my "late" vote on November 4 will count for something!
Keep voting, Obama people! We do not need anti-science flat earthers in the White House anymore. (google Palins remarks about fruit fly research-NO knowledge of science whatsoever and too stupid to find out before commenting)
PS The Humane Society has endorsed Obama-1st time ever to endorse a candidate!!!
We don't care what your polls say. We'll all know November 4th.
PLEASE HAVE McCAIN AND PALIN STOP COMING TO PA ..EVERYTIME THEY SHOW UP THEY LEAVE A BAD SMELL HERE.
PALIN SHOULD BE IN JAIL !!!! SHE IS NOT A FELON YET BUT WHEN
SHE GOES BACK HOME SHE WILL BE !!!!
Slip-slidin' away...slip-slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination the more you're slip-slidin' away...
Hi, CNN. You have "the Arizona senator trails McCain" – just wanted to alert you to your typo! Have a good night.
McPAIN!!
BIG MISTAKE
WE DON;T WANT YOU !!!!
forked toungue loosers
lewd program old geezer after beauty queen
strut her stuff.. mouth off.. leaders of this country NOT NOT NOT!!!
If Obama talks like a socialist, behaves like a socialist, gives speeches like a socialist, urges like a socialist, even lies like a socialist, then IT MUST BE A SOCIALIST. We do ant to head in that direction if we do not want to get there (a socialist state.)
Stop fantasizing and call it like it is.
Go Go Go Obama!!!
The arizona senator trails mccain? Interesting CNN...
Last paragraph: "The AZ senator trails McCain"? Or does that mean that the spectre of McCain is catching up to the real McCain?
McCain got a flat tire and Palin's press bus broke down today. More 'signs'?
And Crist just extended early voting poll hours.
Well with all the issues in the McCain party what do they expect.
The McCain/Palin campaign strategy of lies, fear, smears and divisiveness isn't working as well as their strategists expected. These tactics were successful in 2000 and 2004, but the American people are sick of gutter politics.
If the Republican vote machines produce a win for McCain, it won't end there.
Don't believe the hype. The GOP tricksters have pulled out all the stops to ensure that their "money for the rich" policies continue. No more! McCain is an extension of the Bush adminstration. Just say No!
Vote for Obama!
Interesting. The McCain campaign comes out with another negative ad, attempting to link Obama with Murtha, and McCain's numbers slip. Will McCain NEVER learn that his negative campaign is contributing to his loss? Apparently not. And I'm sure, when he's sitting at home with Cindy on November 5th, he'll be blaming his loss on everyone but himself. Be a man, John. In the proud tradition of the military, the general is responsible for the loss of a battle or war, even though he himself never fired a shot. And a good general (or in your case, admiral) accepts that responsibility like a man. I doubt you have the honor or the guts to do so. At least you haven't shown any honor or guts in this election. Your days of courage are long, long ago and as any reasonable man would have learned, will not win you an election.
To make the country first, you must first listen to your country. The country is making it more clear everyday who they want to lead.
I think there's a typo near the bottom:
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. "
I think it should say "...trails Obama..." not "McCain"
you mean that the arizona senator trails obama by 4 points, not vice versa as stated in your final paragraph
...but I could be wrong...we'll see.
This is cause Joe the Plumber tactic is working so well....
Great. God help us if McCain/Palin gets elected.
Barack Obama is not going to raise your taxes if you make under $250,000. For unity in the USA, and work towards peace with other countries, create jobs, a moritorium on foreclosures for 3 months, the economy we must elect Barack Obama.
Palin needs to deal with her Abuse of Power, Ethics Violations, Who built her house, what about the Alaska Independent Party, Troopergate, Tasergate.
I voted October 20th for Barack Obama.
The gaap here in Ohio is only going to widen in Obama's favor.
Our state has suffered too greatly under 8 years of Bush to want even 4 more minutes of Bush Junior.
He can shoot off his big mouth all he wants.
We're farm country here and we all know bull when we see it.
And as for the pig with lipstick ........
Sham on you CNN with your Poll according to CNN...... You do not care about what will happen with Obama, just looking for histroy.....
I guess Joe the Plumber is making things worse...
I love those Sarah 0-12 idiots! Half of them don't even realize how stupid they are! The other half get the 0-12 joke, but are just as idiotic for actually supporting an extremist, above-the-law, wolf-killing, religious zealot who dismisses science and education.
The candidacy of McCain,
Was the choice for Republican gain;
But inclusion of Palin,
Means red states are failing;
The result at the polls will be pain.
Does anybody see the typos in the last paragraph? It reads "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there." What a mistake! hahahaha.
Everyday I'm baffled what Americans see in Obama, his vote for FISA, his vote for the Cheney Energy bill, his inability to keep his word, his relationships with questionable people, it all adds up to a man who shouldn't be representing the Democratic party. I'll be going third party for the first time ever, I'm ashamed of my party. Not my country Michelle, my party!
looks like there is a typo. "The Arizona Senator trails McCain..." ??? He trails himself?
As a wolverine, it does my heart good to see Ohio blue!
Enough with the polls already!
I've been voting for 35 years, and I've never, ever been polled. I think they just call the same people over and over again.
Let's just let everyone vote.
I think all these polls may actually hurt that goal.
Come on USA lets change all of the red states to blue.... Lets make history once and for all all of the the United States not the red states and the Blue States but the whole Blue United States all standing up for the greatest president for out time that will save us all the President of the United States Barack Obama!!!
McCain will win ........ I am democrat voting for McCain and we will show you that you are completly wrong.........
The people of Ohio have obviously seen that the era of the angry old republican is over. The US, no... The world is ready for "Real Change", not 2 people on stage being angry and "Mavericky". Only 6 more days until the election, and hopefully the end of the tyrannical facist reign that has been the Bush administration. Keep up the good work Ohio, now get out and VOTE!
The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent.
????
Maybe the arizona senator trails Obama?
I am sure the Republicans are trying to come up with a way to cheat again. Rubublicans = liars.
Joe the Plumber, meet Joe NoMoe
NoMoe Home
NoMoe Use for Joe the Plumber
NoMoe Money
NoMoe 401K
NoMoe Car
NoMoe Credit Card
NoMoe Bush & McCain!
NoMoe BS so vote for Obama & Biden '08
The gap here in Ohio is only going to widen in Obama's favor.
Our state has suffered too greatly under 8 years of Bush to want even 4 more minutes of Bush Junior.
He can shoot off his big mouth all he wants.
We're farm country here and we all know bull when we see it.
And as for the pig with lipstick ........
Hmmm, you think maybe all the REAL plumbers and workers in Ohio are voting for their best interests? I do! Obama '08!
Just wanted to point out that you said "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent". And it should be "the Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there..." Just thought I'd point it out–I'm a die hard fan of your work, keep it up!
NEVER GONNA GET IT
Ohio for Obama? I hope so...
Nice poll choices - some of the worst pollsters in the business.
Zogby? LA Times? Suffolk? Please.
I live in Ohio and never have I seen this. It wasn't until Palin joined the republican ticket that we started seeing republican signs or bumper stickers. I started to wonder if this was really Ohio. It as if the so called proud Republicans are ashamed of their own candidate and what Bush has left us. Instead of being proud Republicans, let's be proud Americans. We lost jobs to Mexico and McCain sure isn't offerings us jobs.
Ohio goes to Obama this time!
Maybe if he picked a running mate who had a clue McCain may be more competitive. Sorry John, your running mate is clueless and it's no wonder that over 40% of Alaskans support Obama over there own governor. Apparently she's not the most popular governor in the country after all even after her redistribution of the oil companies money to the people.
Obama's second-biggest contributor was Goldman Sachs, with $874,207. Others in his top 20 list of contributors are J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, UBS and Morgan Stanley, center figures show. Only UBS, a foreign-owned bank, is not on the Treasury list.
The Illinois senator also got significant amounts from Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill, Credit Suisse, Wachovia and Bank of America. In addition, he received contributions from all the banks on the Treasury Department's bailout list
America is sick of the GOP divisiveness.
Join Obama new UNITY party!
Where John McCain is really slipping is in mental hygiene. I would have never voted for him, as President, but I did, at one time, have an extreme amount of respect for him as a war hero. But with his chosing of "Ditsy" as VP, and his own stupid antics, I now have only pity for him. He needs to slip quietly into the Arizona night and leave the political future to people who actually have one.
Mccain Is Going To Loose For Sure! I Guarantee It! There Are Just Too Many Reasons To List Why!
I believe with every part of my being that if he had chosen a VP who had half a brain, McCain wouldn't be in this position.
once your an under dog you stay as under dog.... good buy GOP we are done with you guys
Good.
(CNN) — John McCain does not appear to be making up ground in Ohio, the key battleground state that is crucial to keeping his White House hopes alive.
According to CNN's latest poll of polls of the state, the Arizona senator now trails Obama by 6 points there, 50 percent to 44 percent. That gap is two points wider than it was Monday and double what it was one week ago.
Election Center: Check out recent Ohio polls
No Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio, and barring a major upset in another big state, the state's 20 electoral votes are a must win for McCain. The Republican presidential candidate is expected to spend two full days there later this week.
The latest Ohio poll of polls consists of recent surveys from LA Times/Bloomberg (October 25-27), Reuters/Zogby (October 23-26), and CNN/Time/ORC (October 19-21). CNN Poll of Polls do not have a margin of error.
Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today and is largely due to a newly released survey from LA Times/Bloomberg showing McCain down 7 points in the state. The Florida poll of polls also includes surveys from Suffolk University and Reuters/Zogby
Dear CNN:
I thought McCain was the Arizona senator, yet the second sentence of the last paragraph of this article says, "the Arizona senator trails McCain..." Are you saying that McCain is chasing his tail in Florida?
Excellent! More people are realizing that no matter what McCain says–and he'll say anything, as long as it's a lie–he is all for the rich. Obama was raised by regular folks and knows what it's like for the rest of America. He will cut our taxes. McCain will cut his own. Which do you prefer?
It's going to get higher as the election get closer.What 's happening is the last eight years of Bush's ecomomic blunders and polices which McCain backed Bush on90% the american people are really hurting and they just aren't willing to take that chance with McCain.Those supporting Bush are being convinced by McCain that he is different.It"s sad that Bush can pour money to McCain's campaign behind closed doors and MCCAIN accepts but he won't come out as the president of the US to support or campaign with him.So what does that tell you.If McCain was to win this race who do you think he would turn to to move this country on the right course Bush Or Clinton?He would turn to Bush even though he talks about reaching across the parties.Americans please don't be blinded and regret your vote for McCain.Think about what it has been like for the past eight years .Think of you children and their children future.We need to bring our service men and women home instead of McCain keeping them In wars that will be years from ending and many more lives lost
Your polls are worthless-people are not telling the truth because they know the pollsters have their phone numbers and the media might begin a search of their tax records like Joe the Plumber. When they get into the privacy of the voting booth beyond the view of the Obama media-they will say "NO BAMA."
250k to 200k to 150k!
It is so awesome! Laughing all the way to the polling booth at Democrats.
Go ahead and vote your liar into office.
If he is elected, wait until that LA Times video tape is released. I will be laughing so hard at all of you!
na na na na,
na na na na,
way hey ay, good bye
SOMEBODY PLEASE STICK A FORK IN MCCAIN/PALIN...I THINK THEY ARE DONE.
The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. - Please check this typo.
Thanks.
Ohio the Buckeye State and my home town. My deceased father worked in the steel mill which is no more. We were a proud family of 10 and his earnings in the steel mill allowed us to build a new home in a good neighborhood and to attend good schools. When I visit home it makes me very angry to see what has happened to the hard working honest people in my hometown. The Republicans put Ohioians in the soup lines after closing down plants and shipping their jobs overseas. No more, enough is enough. Ohio don't let the Republicans continue their path of destruction. Please make a change and vote Obama and thank you Ohio for waking up in the final call.
13 million blacks have spoken that will vote race-period--the 94 million white voters will be heard on Nov 4.
Come on Florida!!!!!!!
Barack the vote!
Obama/Biden 08
Obama / Biden ... landslide 2008.
so, now McCain is competing against McCain in Florida?
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent." ????
John
STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT PLUMBER! IT IS TURNING YOUR CAMPAIGN INTO A COMPLETE JOKE.
McCain behind in Ohio? Oh, say it's not so! I can't believe that the state that supported idiot Bush twice actually is showing the cranial horsepower to recognize the Republicans for the greedy, self-serving, corrupt, redistributing wealth (to their cronies at the top!), lying creeps they really are. Congratulations, Ohio! Welcome to the 20th century!
"Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent."
Interesting! This could only mean that the Illinois Senator is leading Obama by 4 points. Clearly one of the more entertaining polls of the campaign.
I know a lot of people hate President Bush. I understand that. But we have a lot of mess going around right now and it is no time to elect someone like Obama. We can't mess around with numerous social experiments and nonsense. We need to get back on track.
Obama is a likeable fellow and it's fun to watch his speeches. I don't really care for Biden so much. If things were going good for our country right now, I would say sure let's give Obama a try. But not now.
You got a typo there, in the last paragraph.
It's only right , a candidate without a message shouldn't gain favor with voters for his lack of message. He's running to keep his lobbyists happy. The American public will make their voice heard loud above the noise of McCain's 100+ lobbyists. Ps ( The audacity of Gov. Palin asking her buddy Ted Stevens to step down based on his corruption conviction. I love the way she enjoys pointing fingers yet complains when she is targeted. She'll have her day in court for her just like Stevens
What a joke for a VP pick.
if nothing else in your campaign, McCain, at Ieast Iose gracefuIIy
Check this...
Fact check: McCain tax cuts give $200 billion to corporations, $4 billion to oil companies? Veredict: True
"I want everybody to be wealthy", says McCain...
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there" – Nice, he can't even beat himself, let alone Obama.
Thanks to Phil Gramm sticking foot in mouth and McCain's own bad underestimation of how significant economic struggles are on the minds of voters...ESPECIALLY in Ohio.
Don't call that race "over".
It's not over until the polls close at Election Day!
PLEASE OBAMA SUPPORTERS!!! GO OUT AND VOTE FOR HIM!!!
MAKE IT A LANDSLIDE!!!
MAKE THAT RACE OVER AND ENSURE; SARAH PALIN HEADS BACK TO ALASKA!!!
PLEASE; DON'T THINK THAT RACE IS OVER AND VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!
Obama/Biden in a landslide
Please Ohio think BLUE!
It's about time Ohioans wake up ... they owe U.S. big time for voting Bush and their criminal election fraud in '04.
"The Arizona Senator trails McCain"???
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, as poor as he is wants to be rubbing his shoulders with McCains rich circle. H is such a liar, pretending to be asking Senator Obama questions when he already made up his mind for republicans. McCain agenda will not even favor him since he is making just 40,000 a year. Senator Obama tax cut really favor him. Senseless.
Seven days of eternity ....
After the sleazy campaign that the Republicans have run, it is heartening to see Obama maintain his lead. Today, "Joe the Plumber" actually told Fox News that Obama's victory would be the "death of Israel" !!!! This guy is a lunatic and McCain takes him seriously enough to parade him around on his stumps and quotes him at every stop. Shame on him for giving the fringe element credibility and a public voice.I guess he'll do anything to win. Go Obama, your balance and thoughfulness are badly needed.
Senator McCain needs to find a way to capture the trust of Ohio and Pennsylvania's blue collar workers. Too many jobs have been lost from corporations moving them out of the country. They, like Obama, blames the government for everything. What he does have over Obama is a desire and ambition not to sell the country out to terrorists. Something has to be done to not only protect our jobs, but protect the American way of life. McCain is the man to do it.
GO FIGURE!!!!!
Please citizens of this great country do not elect John McCain and Sarah Palin. The world and this country are in real trouble, we need a calm bright leader who gives us hope and the best chance to move away from the old tired way's of the republican party.
I just got back from vacation. I didn't know there was an election going on. What did I miss?
can the CNN pls check the grammer of this things before putting it up for to read? "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. " How can McCain be trailing McCain?
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4..."
Typo........don't you mean ........trails Obama....?
Go Ohio!
Do not give us another republican win!
Vote for Change We Need!!!!
This is a great article – in the new poll of polls in Florida McCain apprently can't even beat himself.
With all due respect, John McCain is either getting bad information from his people or he is delusional. Every poll available indicates that he is trailing in Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado, and North Carolina. He should focus his energy on the states that the polls indicate he is either tied or ahead, Missouri and Florida. Having said that, and I must also add I am a Obama supporter, let him waste his time, effort, and financial resources on races he can't win......
JMHO
McCain looks like he made a big mistake when he chose The Moose from Alaska rather than Romney the expert in economy.
Maybe he will leave us alone in PA...wishful thinking. I think I see another "tactic" going bad.
This election is going to force the repugs to re-invent themselves and that is a good thing. Let's face it, they have grown fat and lazy. Over the past 20 years they haven't even attempted to engage the American public with intelligent ideas. They just wait until a few days before the election and divide the nation on race or some other ignorant argument and they win. Hey, it has worked, we can't blame them for going to the well one more time. Well, it isn't going to work this time and they will be a better party for it in the end. Repugs, time for some hard work, don't know how long you will be in the wilderness, it will be partly up to how Obama governs.
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4"
Typo?
"The Arizona senator trails McCain..." ???
Americans are not buying the divisive hatred that McCain and Palin the Puppet are spewing! GO OBAMA
That's right McCain/Palin keep on slandering Obama and put him right in the WH where he belongs. People are sick of hearing Senator Obama this and Senator Obama that. What are YOU going to do? What are YOUR policies? Begin a sentence for once-just once-that doesn't start with Sen. Obama and maybe just maybe people will listen although I doubt that....
Samuel J. Wurzelbacher, with low salary, he wants to be rubbing his shoulders with McCain's rich circle. He is such a liar, pretending to be asking Senator Obama questions when he already made up his mind for republicans. McCain's agenda will not even favor him since he is making just $40,000 a year. Senator Obama tax cut really favor him. Senseless, cheap publicity.
John McCain has failed to deliver a steady message. He is all over the map. It's gotten so bad that Joe the "plumber" is out on the trail. Mccain is desperate and he is showing it.
heck yeah! We are finally getting smart in Ohio!! After voting for Bush 2 terms, thank god!
Lets get out and vote guys we send the old man and his sidekick home.
Ohioans are not falling for the OKEY DOKE... We will not be HOODWINKED... We will not be BAMBOOZLED....We will be LED ASTRAY!!!!!
Barack Your Vote08!!!!! Vote Early, Tell Your Friends, Tell your neighbors, Tell your Co Workers, Tell your Family...... Vote Early, Vote Now!!!
The end is near, McGramps. Time to go home to Arizona and melt into retirement. Obama!
That is what I like to see...although I wonder what else the republicans have up their sleeve. You know they will try something dirty to win, whether it is more lies or somehow cheating the election. I find it funny now that people serving our country overseas won't be able to have their vote count. I guess republicans know that they won't be voting for them so they resort to this. Its a shame that they have to do this. Ah well, hopefully it will be all over soon and OBAMA will be in office.
For the sake of our economic future, lets hope it stays that way.
Country first.
Obama/Biden 08
I guess "Joe the GOP-plant" only made an impact with his own fortune (getting to sit on plenty of Faux News Talk shows for $$) but not so much the "regular Joes" of Ohio who aren't close to earning $250K/year?
GO U.S.A THE WORLD WACTHIN U.S.A THE WORLD SAID U.S.A IS DEAD BUT WE WANNA TELL THE WORLD WE BACK ON TRACK AGAIN WE R ONE NATION LET PUT BARACK OBAMA BIDEN IN OUR HOUSE . AND SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE WORLD . OHIO REJECTED JOHN MACCAIN SARAH PALIN DIVISIVES MESSAGES NO THIS TIME NO THIS YEARS
It is going to be a landslide. A lot of republicans I know, are not planning on voting at all. They are very disappointed at McCain and Palin.
Finally the country is waking up. I don't think any one with a right mind will want another 4 years of the failed 8 years.
What is surprising is how 40% of the country is still thinking of voting for McCain. When will we learn?
Well written article and analysis of the current situation...except for the mistake "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there...". I don't think McCain is trailing himself, but you never know.
Mccain Is Not Gaining Any Ground Anywhere! Mccain Is Loosing Ground Everywhere!
The English national anthem says "God Bless the Queen"
I say, "May God bless Obama/Biden, their families and very importantly the supporters, NOT forgetting the enermies of Obama" AMEN.
VOTE!!! VOTE!!! on Tues, dont be complacent..YES WE CAN, AND WE WILL.
Henry Lu, Toronto/Uganda
I am an engineer who has been involved in alternative energy technologies for over twenty years. Since when does the Governor of an oil-producing state make someone an expert on energy?
Please do not confuse drilling for oil for energy technology expertise.
It is an insult to remotely suggest that Palin is an expert on energy.
Palin’s claims that she is an expert on energy is on the same level of naivete as her claims that she has extensive foreign policy experience with Russia due to Alaska’s proximity to Russia!!
Republican Ronald Regan Tax the rich and gave it to marriage couples who were not employed. is Mccain charging Republican Ronald Reagan, the best republican president for decades of being socialist? what is wrong with this man? A sycophantic supporter of Bush for the past 8 yrs, attacking the record of Ronald Reagan
I blame McCain for the poor campaign he has run and especially the vp pick. Romney could have done a great job. i am pissed and will not vote because it wont make any difference
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there"
I think you mean Obama.
I can only hope that Missouri grows a brain and turn blue!
Uhhhh.......Re: "Poll of Polls in Florida".....The Arizona Senator, unfortunately, is Mr McCain. Just thought you might like to know before more of us start to think we are wigging out too soon see this as a trend.
The GOP began to fall apart when they abandoned their conservative base to draw in “moderates”. By pandering to liberals and trying to build consensus with Democrats our politicians have succeeded in destroying the ideals of freedom, liberty, self reliance and responsibility; the principles that have made this country great. We now face an executive office win from a far left socialist – yes, I said and meant socialist. The next four years will see a growth of the nanny state, destruction of opportunity, and as we have seen in every socialist utopia, a flight of those who create opportunity for all. It is a shame the obamabots can not see as far as their children’s future.
BUT, he is making up ground in many other key states. CNN, stop ignoring the facts and pushing for an Obama victory!
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there..."
Wow, McCain is doing so badly that he even trails himself in polls.
"The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent."
McCain is the Arizona senator...
I think this could be a reaction to negative campaigning. Hopefully this will show politicians that scaring the daylights out of people doesn't work to get their votes these days. I think people want solutions, hope of better times and a view of how things can be made better for them.
I'm an old Ohio boy, and know how Ohio thinks. We are both very conservative and very liberal and everything in between. We are divided, and we hate it. In other words, we are America.
people better wake up this week and vote for mccain just because you don't like bush don't make a stupid decision and vote for some far left liberal who has a shady past we are living in dangerous times, who would you really trust in another 9-11 scenero?
the thymes they are a'changin' my friend.
Why would John McCain make up ground with the miserable campaign he's running he should be sinking like the economy he helped destroy. I think most Americans even if they were slightly inclined to vote for John are being frightened to death of a President Sarah with her extreme views.
If america is realy desperate for change has claimed !barack obama is the president that will bring the change. change is something different and i dont see how mcCain is going to bring that change if he has supported and voted for George bush 29yrs out of 30yrs in the white house.
Anthony from London
As most people have said already – what matters is what happens on Nov 4. Everyone needs to vote. We can't take anything for granted – ESPECIALLY in OHIO.
The Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News endorsed Obama on Oct. 25, 2008: she became a reinforcement of her caricature. She never allowed herself to be vetted, and at the end of the day, voters turned against her both in terms of qualifications and personally."
NUFF SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frightening to think that many people could be wrong about a person like Obama. Scary what happens when stupid people gather in large groups.
Well, I survived Carter and Clinton. Obama with a Liberal congress probably not. Bad news for working Americans. Good news for the welfare vampires and the entitlement demons.
All tactics and no strategies. That's how McCain has run this campaign. And that's why they have Jow the plumber out campaigning today. What in the world???
I think on the last paragraph, first line it's suppose to say "The Arizona senator trails Obama by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent". No need to post this msg. Just thought to correct a little mistake.
Good I would hope with his fear and hate mongering that he is all but done.
Remember to VOTE Nov. 4th it is the only poll that counts!
i think a lot of voters are seeing mccain's camp is faultering and its causing a backlash against him and palin....GOOD!!
go rogue and VOTE FOR OBAMA-BIDEN 08 & 12
Typo in last paragraph. Reads "The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points....) Shouldn't that say "The Arizona senator trails Obama?"
Sen. McCain was just in Dayton, OH and it was stated by those attending that he looked very tired and very old and the campaign must have really taken a toll on him. This in tune has made people more worried in regard to his VP pick....
In a stunning turn...McCain trails-McCain!!!!!
"Meanwhile, a new poll of polls in Florida shows a similar story. The Arizona senator trails McCain by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent."
No wonder his poll numbers are bad, Obama is out spending him on ads like a zillion to one. Obama is using America's lack of depth on any issues to buy this election.
Hey folks, Here is some polling information to keep in mind. Despite everything that George W Bush has done 28% of those polled still like him. Though this might seem ridiculously high to you and me these people vote (especially now that Sarah Palin has the base excited) and that 28% will represent a majority if only 50% of voters turnout to vote. If 60% vote Obama will win by a whisker 70% is a landslide. That is why the Republicans have gone negative. Not because they think they can change my mind (I've already voted) but they want the less committed to stay home. Don't be one of those less committed. Get of and VOTE. If you are for Obama and you don't vote you may have to live that sick feeling on Nov 5 that you could have done more.
A MISTAKE in your text:
The "Arizona senator" trails "McCain" by 4 points there, 49 percent to 45 percent. That gap is 3 points higher than it was earlier today
Blacks and Socialists have been heard fron through their allies-the media-whitey will be heard from on Nov.4
If Obama gets elected we all better pray for Isreal because Obama is ani-Isreal and ani-American....
Yes, change is coming. With McCain who voted with Bush 90% of the time, expect ONE change only, NAME TAG REPLACEMENT.
This is the only change we will all get
GO OHIO, GET OUT THE VOTE AND GET OUT AND VOTE, VOTE EARLY, VOTE ON TIME AND VOTE LATE. VOTE. OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Good Job Ohio. Now get to the polls and actually vote. Get out and Barack the Vote America!!
Obama/Biden '08
And yet the McCain-Palin campaign continues to go more and more negative in the final days of the election. You'd think they'd have begun to clue in by now that the more they focus on the same old tired strategies of fear and smear, of lies and distortions, the lower they sink in the polls, because the public just isn't buying it anymore.
Either McCain's campaign strategists are just plain stupid (or out of touch?), or they don't know how to do anything other than to attack their opponent. Perhaps actually trying to convince the American people why they *should* vote for him, rather than just telling them why they *shouldn't* vote for Obama, might have helped, but it's far too late for that now. Obama will win this election because he is the only candidate who has had the courage, leadership, and judgment to offer the American people a *plan* to deal with the *real issues* that we all cope with on a daily basis. McCain seems content to do nothing but spread bald-faced lies and scurrilous innuendos about his opponent, while offering no solutions of his own for the important problems we are facing. That's the difference, and that's why McCain will lose Ohio, and lose the election.
I hope selling out his reputation to Karl Rove's gang of sleaze merchants was worth it to him...
Edit CNN – The Arizona senator can't trail McCain by 4 points...
The people of Ohio and PA are much too smart to bring the whole country down by electing Mccain/Palin. Mccain made many mistakes this election season:
#1 has been much too negative and has mislead and lied to the American people/ Those of us who are serious about our vote, listen, watch and fact check.
#2 He picked Palin. Not vetted enough, ot smart enough, not knowledgeable enough!
#3 he suspended his campaign to run to Washington and get nothing done. He handled the economic crisis in a very eratic, very unwise way. He really still has not been able to handle it, he just got lucky and started spinning "Joe the plumber" which is bull, since plumbers would get a bigger tax break with Obama(that's a fact)
#4. He voted 90% of the time with George Bush fo rthe last 8 years and w eare done with Bush! Cannot afford 4 more years of the same.
Please don't let this mean spirited man win anything but his 7 homes and 13 cars and all of the businesses that they have. This man is a bigot, a racist, borderline madman. The VP is openly racist and a big bigot and to top everything else off she is not too smart.
Well with all the slickness McCain has been doing in this campaign, I'm surprise he's not trying to steal the election as we all know the Republicans did to Gore in 2000. Karma!
McCain just go and rest the election is over.
I thought McCain was the Arizona senator
I just wanted to respond to a comment earlier that called blacks racists because they were overwhelmingly supporting Obama. If you check your facts and your history, you will find that 90% of blacks vote for a democratic president (historically) and it is estimated that during this election 90% of blacks will once again vote democratic. This time that democrat just happens to be black.
Sometimes people can be so ignorant.
It's over Johnny Boy!!!!! Take McFailin with you on your way out of the lime light.
The ARIZONA senator trails MCCAIN by 4 points in Florida,49% TO 45% W@F???
Obama/ Biden 2008
it begins, this domino effect may be like reagan in 80
I voted EARLY for Obama in Dallas, TX. I voted for no Republican! I am noa democrat, but an independent!
My husband is an Iraq vet and voted EARLY for Obama in Texas.
Bye McCain and your hateful VP.
My only comment is: why would anyone but a complete driveling idiot support someone who consitently lies through his smiling (also grimacing) teeth? All fact checks show that Obama tells the truth way more often than McCain. Why is that? Because Obama is RIGHT for America, and McCain is a DISASTER! Wake up America and vote Obama!
I hope that Ohio gets it right this time. They really have suffered for their decision to put Bush in office last time. McCain will do NOTHING for them. He does try to keep them scared about Obama though.
My God, people, what are you afraid of ? You can only win with Obama. You will only get more of the same with McCain. Forget this crap about Socialism. It is just another Repug scare tactic. Haven't you had enough of that ?
Get out and vote for Obama. He is your chance for a better life for yourself and your family.
McCain has my vote.
McCain better ask his buddy Lieberman if he can borrow some 'Joementum'!
I saw Palin at a rally. She's awesome. McCain/Palin 2008.
Please go to your polls and vote!! Go early if you can.
Voting for McCain/Palin.
