CNN

For once, I agree with McCain. Racism won't determine this election. We've got racism beat this time around, so go rage ineffectually in your white robes all ye unedumacated racists.

BY THE WAY: 99.44% is an insanely funny percentage for him to choose. That's the "Ivory pure" percentage in the soap commercials. Irony anyone?

Whatever, this guy is a joke. He's the main one in the group, him and his running mate.

It's not that Black people are racist AS A WHOLE. But that Blacks AS A WHOLE don't vote republican.

I'm white and voting for McCain...does that make me a racist?

Now just what did you expect him to say!? McCain cannot speak the truth...liar liar pants on fire..LOL!

Sorry Toni,
The uncommitted is not convinced with your "spin"

He knows he needs them to win.

He's denied a lot of things. Starting with the fact that he said he was going to run a clean campaign. He has not, he's run anything but a clean campaign.

Obama/Biden 08

Funny McCain says that, yet his rallies are full of ignorant and racist people who still think Obama is a muslim and not a US citizen. I don't see McCain correcting these people all the time. Instead he and his puppet play to these people's ignorance and rile them up with false accusation of Obama's link to domestic terrorists. So please don't come here and tell us there is no racism in this election.

If McCain wins it will be because the bottom feeding hateful people who don't know what the rest of the world is about, elected a white old man and white old woman over qualified black man b/c of their ignorance and hate. Not because they believe in McCain or that he is good for the country.

Shame on CNN moderators to allow this garbage through.

Shame on the coward who wrote it.

Right. No racism. Sure, and I have some great real estate to sell you in Florida! One only needs to come here to see how much race will play a part!

McCain is such a liar.. he's betting on racism to get him to the Whitehouse. This is a man who knows that certain parts of the country are still racist and he's praying on the fears of people who cannot see a black man as President. Why else would McCain and Palin allow such hatred to spew in their rallies?

Please, please lets not take anything for granted and get out to vote.

Obama/Palin '08

In a recent speech by Sarah Palin she stated she was a Redneck and proud of it. I would never refer to someone as a "Redneck", because where I come from it's considered offensive. In fact, if one wants to talk about code words, for many people in the US, the term Redneck is code for Racist, hence not something to be proud of, quite the contrary.

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

DO YOUR SELF AND YOUR COUNTRY A FAVOR WATCH THIS FILM.
AFTER YOU WATCH IT YOU WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5411

YOU CAN THANK ME AFTER THE ELECTION.........................

McCain, John Lewis was right and you denounced him. Shameful.

Yep.... the most qualified person will win this one..... Dems don't let the polls slow your roll.... get out and Barack the vote! lets let our voice be heard in a big way!!!!!

************ Obama and Biden 2008! and going all the way 2012 **********

"reverse Bradley effect" I live and work in a small rural town that is 99.44% white. I'm voting for Obama/Biden and have donated to their campaign but I want to keep my job and friends and learned early on just to keep my mouth shut. Extremists and Radicals always talk the loudest, uglist, and the most angry.

Race won't have anything to do with the outcome Larry it will be decided by the intelligence of the American "people" of all colors and ethnicity. We're all so tired of the old politics and rubish that we've heard It will be refreshing to hear Obama's acceptance speech . Then watch him lead us to where we can hold our heads up as Americans again.

you betcha he knows there's racism in america which is why his campaign used the tactics it used.The American people who aren't racist and there are lots of them are going to put the right man in office and it won't be mccain.

Makes me want to laugh! He seriously thinks race won't affect anything?

P.S. (1) I'd like to hear him explain how he funded the same organization he is trying to tie obama to?
(2) John McCain says he has experience, huh? Well, Bush supposedly had more experience. Look where that's landed us.

Won't be getting my vote that's for sure.

The only racism I see in this campaign comes from the Obama side, it's one of the reasons that I won't be voting for the Democratic nominee for the first time in 30 years. His constant playing of the race card, and his constant whining about race, is just such a turn off. His supporters here are just idiotic, they post things like "white woman for Obama" or "or old white person" for Obama, "white in Ohio" what difference does it make obama supporters, what color you are. It's like Obama labeling Bill and Hillary racist, and then groveling for them to campaign for him. Get real!

I wish this race was about who was really quailfied to lead this country. Not about mud slinging. McCain and Palin has spent entire campaign trying to destroy Obama. I think it's a shame that they spent all this valuable time doing nothing, McCain allowing this women to run free say anything, his campaign team to make him look stupid. I really feel sorry for the man. He could have put on a very good race with different people supporting him. He did not pat enough attention to Hillary Clintons failures in her campaign against Obama. Obama is a very shude politician, he plays to win, and McCain under estimated Obama and his team. Obama is really for the people this is bigger then him and he understands this. Palin is looking for opportunity, nothing more, this has been a ride for her, a free ride. Racism is real and alive in America, but McCain you and your running mate made it real clear that that's side you side with. Shame on you McShame.
Obama/Biden 08

If racism is not a factor it it will not be for want of trying by
F A I L I N/McBUSH to make it so by the SMEAR & FEAR venom they have spewed. This come from someone who is neither black nor white nor DEM nor REPUB

You people are crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its gone too far!

Bill Ayers is white, The McCain campaign itself did not attack on Rev Wright for the simple reason that it would have given you race baters ammo when the only one in this election who has brought up race is OBAMA!!!

Are you all that blind that you can't see this?

He doesn't look like the other Presidents?–Obama said this.

And there are several other lines like this by your Messiah, NOT JOHN MCCAIN OR SARAH PALIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't believe race will be that much of a factor.

What will decide this is the fact that people in general don't want four more years of failed Bush policies, which is what would happen if McSame/Caribou dufus win.

Of course he has to say that. Because if he wins, he doesn't want anyone claiming it was because of racism (they will any way). And, if he loses, it will make his loss seem even worse because he couldn't overcome an opponent with a political handicap.

Isn't 99.44% the purity of Ivory Soap, according to the Ivory commercials and the packaging??

PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF ON DEMOGRAPHICS! BLACKS ALWAYS VOTE HEAVILY FOR DEMOCRATS! KERRY GOT 88% BILL CLINTON GOT 86% OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VOTE DESPITE BEING AS WHITE AS YOU CAN GET, BLACKS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE THEY VOTING FOR A CANDIDATE THAT SHARES THEIR POLITICAL VIEWPOINTS WITH EXTREME INTELLIGENCE AND LOGIC, BUT HE IS ALSO THEIR RACE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY, GIVE THEM A BREAK. QUIT SAYING ITS ALL ABOUT RACE IT JUST SHOWS YOUR BITTERNESS THAT YOUR CANDIDATE IS ABOUT TO LOSE BECAUSE HE HAS RUN A GOD AWFUL CAMPAIGN WITH INEFFECTIVE ECONOMY AND TAX POLICIES AND A VERY INEFFECTIVE VP.

It is defintely so that you have sparked the race issues again by the hate rallys Sarah has run. And also all the words you use to describe Obama. You and Sarah are the biggest racits that America has. I am sure that God will let it be a task of this to come back and haunt you and let you too loose the election.

To Redneck (5:35)

The fact that you let someone Divide & Destroy your beliefs in the past, ALREADY says something about your mentality.

Already voted for Obama. I can't wait for this election is over and all the violent nut jobs have something else to focus on. Every time I hear a republican on the news I just press mute.

I'm 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent certain that Obama's going to win.

Obama/Biden 08!

Get off of my lawn!!

Sans racism, McBush would get no more than 30-35 percent of the overall popular vote.

It is not about race. Way to make nothing into something...tools

Of course race has a part in this. If Obama weren't black, then a record turnout wouldn't be expected. Race works both ways.

This is for all you Vets, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Look at McCain's voting record on Veterans. He didn't show up for the vote on the new GI Bill, he was too busy at a campaign rally. Obama voted for it.

BTW, Spence/Virgina in Arizona; McCAin 46 Obama 44, Arizona Daily Star 10/29/08. Margin of error +/3.

This would be the time for McCain to denounce his misguided supporter (Ashley Todd) who created a self-inflicted, racial hoax. Will McCain make a public repudiation of this divisive act, because it is the right thing to do??

McCain must never have lived in Texas.

Just look at the electoral map. The entire south is red red red. And it's not because they are "Bush" states. Those states have many things in common. They have higher rural populations, have historically been agriculture-based, originally practiced or supported slavery, and have traditionally scorned excessive federal influence. Many of them have a high proportion of low-income citizens with comparatively less formal education. For many in those places, tradition is the strongest cultural influence.

We fear what we don't understand, and we tend to understand less when we have relatively limited formal education and exposure to cultures and people other than our own. The Republican party knows this and for decades has built a huge support base by exploiting the fears of uneducated rural white citizens on the fears of "big brother" government and on anything foreign to us, whether it be people of other countries, languages, religions, or skin tones. Theirs is a very centric and intolerant view.

I am overwhelmed by the hate I've been seeing from Republican supporters. These people (oops that could be taken as racist), are threating this mans life. Isn't it bad enough that you hate a person for the way they look, but to want to take his lif because he worked hard to get in the position he's in. Mccain has done nothing to try to speak with the racist supporters, the capaign is providing more ammunition for these hate mongers, with the key words you've seen in all the post above. As a Black woman who is the mother of four boys, I am in fear. I want more than anything for Obama to win, but what will happen to the Black communities in America? Will lynchings start again? Burning of churches, Blacks being found dead all over the country. Someone needs to talk about this before it's too late. Oh and to Real Story the prison system contains many Caucasions just to let you know and many of the bloggers here are Caucasion. Do some research and you will discover that most of the African Amercians in prison are there unlawfully and given way more time than thier white counter parts for the same crime. Plus they wouldn't be commenting on this blog anyway, they have learned to take what the world gives them, they don't believe anyone cares what they think.

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

McCain has to hope for racism: it's the only chance he's got.

Just look at responses like Griff's....hey Griff, pay attention: blacks vote at 90% for the Democrat, be it Obama, Kerry, Gore, or Clinton.

hurriCAIN PALIN-I'm going to ask you again....you got any substance or are you just going to spew more right wing hate? Go back to your fax machine and get the latest RNC talking points.

I will not vote against McCain because of his race.
But I will vote for him because he is by far the better candidate.
Dr. King would be so proud.

IF-Portugal: You are missing the point. The question is whether racism will cause Caucasian voters to vote for McCain rather than Obama. And the answer, in my view, is yes, but not in large enough numbers to change the outcome. This has nothing to do with African(not Afro)-American voters.

Come on democrates go vote we can't take chances on another Republican President

Just today Palin mentioned in her energy speech that we shouldn't support or rely on oil from the middle east who support terrorists. I take offense to her insinuating that people who live in the middle east support terrorism. My brother-in-law is an arab from Saudi Arabia (the middle east) , my niece and nephew are Arab-Americans. They in no way, shape or from support terrorism. I would be appalled if any Arab-American would vote for McCain/Palin after that remark.

That's right!
We're voting for Bob Barr–against bailouts, wants to lower taxes and cut government spending, against the war.

Obama and McCain are more of the same...what will they bailout next Planes, Trains and Automobiles? When they finally promise that we all will get something from the government, we will realize that there won't be anyone left willing to work hard enough to pay taxes for everyone elses "entitlements".

Stop the erosion of the American Constitution!! Bob Barr for President!!

McCain is the racist. The American people are looking beyond skin color and looking at competency and qualifications to do the job and we're picking THAT ONE – Barack and the real deal Joe.

McCain and Palin = incompetent boobs.
McCain and Palin = racist rhetoric
McCain and Palin = deviciveness
McCain and Palin = pro America instead of all America
McCain and Palin = erratic whiners

We are the United States. Not the Palin states.

Obama/Biden '08

McCain knows that the only way he can win this election is to turn the time back to 1970. Sorry to tell McCain & Palin that it's 2008, and American politics has changed, people are interested in what you are going to do for us tomorrow. McCain & Palin believe the way to progress is to berate your opponents. That's why he's loosing this election, this is why McCain's policy to berate, and shun opponents in elections, and in world diplomacy is a loosing strategy. I know that the GOP has a problem with the world "evolve," but that's the real world, you evolve or your replaced with a better model. That's what's happening, and I'm glad to be part of that change. *Obama/Biden*

I am not a McCain backer, but come on, people. Communism is not a race. They are 8-10 points down, and must attack him on something. What they don't realize (it seems) is that the more they (especially Caribou Barbie) attack him, the further they slide.

Good for you John–when Obama wins you can say the voters have spoken and not blame the media.

hey 'Independent but Leaning', in case you didn't know. african americans also voted 94% for Bill CLinton. We also voted the same way for John Kerry. last i remember, Bill and John are white. so for you to say "african americans are voting 90% for obama" only shows how quickly you are to judge. we always happen to agree with one another when it comes to selecting a world leader. we are truly sorry. 'Unity' seems to get the best of us.

99 and 44 hundredths percent? That's how "pure" Ivory soap is according to their ads. Hmmm, a "pure" white soap....interesting number to say when talking about racism. Nothing about McCain's campaign has been pure except for the accusations which are all pure hogwash and outright lies.

39 year old white woman, mom of 2, full time job, advanced college degree...did my homework on this election and that's why my vote went to Obama.

TO: The Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square:
keep you race hate diatribe on KKK.com or wherever it's appropriate. your racism is offensive.

Call off the dogs John McCain the party is over.

Obama is not black – he is BIRACIAL.
Get the facts straight, everyone.

You're right, John Sidney III. We will elect the best candidate for the job.

Barack Obama.

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

DO YOUR SELF AND YOUR COUNTRY A FAVOR WATCH THIS FILM.
AFTER YOU WATCH IT YOU WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5411

YOU CAN THANK ME AFTER THE ELECTION...

Now McCain is saying that Obama is "so far to the Left".....whatever that is supposed to mean. Hey McCainites.....RIGHT-WING refers to Conservatives, Republican, and Nationalists (sic Nazi in Germany), which means "SUPPORTING RICH, CAPTITALIST, BIG BUSINESS INTEREST AGAINST THE INTERESTS OF THE POOR OR ORDINARY PEOPLE." Left-Wing refers to the liberals or Democrats, and means "INFLUENCED BY SOCIALIST IDEAS" OR "PROMOTING PUBLIC WELFARE OR THE WELL-BEING OF THE ORDINARY PEOPLE." Hence, our country already engages in the REDISTRIBUTION of wealth through the use of a proportional income tax, not to mention all the local and state taxes we pay for all the public services such as police, fire, public schools and libraries, etc.

If there is a race factor, its the African Americans that voting along race lines. Get off your high horse Obama supporters – WE ALL know that you are voting along racial lines. So stop finger pointing. Please, Oprah showed her "true colors" when she endorsed you and so did Colin Powell.

McCain is BETTING on racism to get him to the Whitehouse.... but, it will NOT work..... NOT THIS TIME..... we are "smarter" this year McCain... you can't DIVIDE AND DESTROY us anymore....I have already VOTED FOR OBAMA.

If Blacks supporting Obama is considered racist, what is it called for whites supporting McCain? Silly people, grow up!

How can he deny that racism will play a part in the election when his own party, and his own running mate, race bait to try and win?!?

The Republicans are nearly all white – almost zero diversity amongst their rank and file – and he says that racism won't play a part. Of course – there's only racism if it's against whites......in ignorant fantasy land!

You know at one point I used tothink John McCain was an honorable man, now it seems he believes he deserves to be president at any cost.

the worst kind of racist is one who doesn't even know that he or she racist.

It's a shame what McCain has done to himself in his quest for power. If he had run a campaign like he did in 2000 he'd be in much better shape. Instead he took up Bush tactics which people are beginning to see through. We must vote for competence, not "values." When one hires an electrician, say, do you ask what his values are, or whether he KNOWS HIS JOB???

Wake up McCain. Some people will be voting against Obama because he is black. Some people will be voting for Obama because he is black. Others will vote for him just to see history made. Race Is A HUGE FACTOR.

.... and he is lying again!

is racism not the sub-text of Palin's stump speech?

It hard to deny that the selection of Palin was not based in part on race. How could McCain nominate a VP with just one interview? WF Hillary voters were the primary reason for Palin to be on the ticket.

Unfortunately for McCain, Obama did not take his bait and has smiled out of race debate. Mr. McCain has conducted a campaign unworthy of a straight-shooting American Vet.

I heard a frightening story on NPR about this. They were following campaign workers in Pennsylvania. If Obama loses Pennsylvania it sounds like it will be because of racism. And not just from older people, there were comments from some college students that really made my heart sink. I thought the next generation would know bettter. Scary but true, how can this still be happening in the year 2008!?

Not so McCain, just not so, At least 1/3 of my neighborhood right here in Paulding county, GA is racist. They love that confederate flag down here more than the American flag and they don't like to be around black folks.

Of course racism is playing a key part in this election. I early voted and I have never seen so many African Americans at the polls much less voting early, which leads me to believe the only reason they are voting is to get an unqualified African American into the most important position in the world. Obama is not ready to be POTUS and it has nothing to do with him being black. It has all to do with his foreign policy and not being able to be commander and chief because at the end of the day the economy doesn't matter if were not protected. Be smart, McCain is not Bush, that is a dumb comparison, McCain is the man for the job because we are at war and Biden has already hinted at some impending doom. I say let's be smart, vote republican, and save ourselves from four years of misery.

McCain/Palin are both racist......end of story. Anyone voting for Mcpalin needs to check the facts. Check out what anchorage daily news had to say about their governor. Was not good for her!! Internet has a wealth of info about the women that people need to know, as the anchorage daily put so bluntly " she is only a 72 yr old heart beat away from the presidents position. Wake up people use your sources. Know the facts about the most anti American Alaskan running for VP. I watched a video of the group discussing palin as a member and her leaving for them to put the republican name on her so they could do their workings to separate Alaska from the united states. Now tell me that is a true American.............
GET OUT AND VOTE SO WE CAN SEE SOME REAL CHANGE

GO OBAMA

I believe race is a factor-why else would this election be so close? It is a shame, but true. It is about time that America gets over racism. Obama is the one to bring us closer together.

Hillbilly for Obama!!!

No thanks to you and your sidekick Palin – she has been stoking the fires of bigotry and hatred – Just look at videos of folks leaving palin rallies, the comments coming from their mouths are disgusting. palin is fanning those flames. Shame on both mccain and palin.

Lets hope that nov 5 the beauty contestant will go back to alaska and stay there. good riddance.

if Obama was fully white; black people would still vote for him..

african americans voted for bill clinton didn't they???

so all you morons in here who say that blacks only vote for obama because he's half black; need to shut up because YOU are the REAL racist, and you don't have a brain to know that the majority of blacks vote for the democratic candidate regardless of color.

it's typical of your kind to discredit any black success.

WHY WHY WHY..... is it that when white people vote for a white person it isn't racist?

I wish Senator McCain were correct that over 99% will be voting on issues, not race. I think many people will not vote for Barack simply because of his race. But those people would not vote for him anyway since they are most likely Republicans. Nevertheless this makes Senator Obama's potential achivement all the more amazing. Please do not take this election or your vote for granted. Obama can win but we all need to vote! Be part of history and make your vote historic!!
Peace.
Obama/Biden

McCain is being disingenuous by claiming racism won't be playing apart in how many voters will vote for him.

When chief arguments that have been played upon by the GOP include one GOP politician's view that Obama is "uppity", or by framing ads that heighten the "anti-christ" email smear, and fake food stamps featuring watermelon & fried chicken while the Republican woman who made the item in question swears she didn't know those items carry racial stereotypes. Please McCain...if you get more votes then expected, don't fool yourself....a great many of them will be because of racism and not because you are a great leader.

HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,

DO YOUR SELF AND YOUR COUNTRY A FAVOR WATCH THIS FILM.
AFTER YOU WATCH IT YOU WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA!!!http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/5411

YOU CAN THANK ME AFTER THE ELECTION

So why are he and Palin working so hard to create doubt, divisiveness, and to scare people? Because it's easier than saying "look, you should be afraid of him because of his race". They–and Liddy Dole, talk about an unconsionable ad!!– were taught at the feet of Karl Rove and the swiftboaters. And let's not forget that so many idiots still believe the emails about Obama being Muslim despite all the factual information to the contrary. And look at McCain's newest ad-that's not even Obama's face and I can't believe the Obama campaign isn't demanding it be retracted. Americans, hopefully, will not be swayed by the politics of fear!! This proud Army mom is proudly voting for Obama and Biden next week. GO O, AND JOE!!

I choose to watch the Cartoon Network tonight instead of McLiar. Maybe I'll switch back and forth between the toons and Larry (Softball Questions) King, since I won't be able to tell the difference anyway. Six more days until That One wraps it up!

CALL OFF THE DOGS JOHN MCCAIN, THE PARTY IS OVER!

Montana, Norht Dakota, Indiana, Georgia and Arizona will be leaning blue shortly – keep it up MCCain with your negative attacks.

Obama / Biden 08

If he doesn't believe it will be a factor, then why does he keep stirring it up? He just hopes it will work to his advantage. It won't.

Like a typical Politician he LIES, He really hopes racism will determine this election

Obama is bi-racial... why see him as an African American when he is as much white as he is black?!

First bi-racial president of America – Barack Obama!

Mccains says that he has the scars to prove he's been tested,,hmm lets see, on board the USS Forrestal on a routine training maneuver
johnny "wet start" does his thing.. wet started his plane(wet start=
flooding engine with fuel.. then ignition+ shoot long flame behind
scaring pilot in plane behind) it shot a flame ..igniting a zumi rocket
in plane behind..zumi hits mc cain's plane , ruptures fuel tanks..mc cain panics, drops bombs on deck, gets out runs like hell for cover,
bombs explode after fire get to them, 133 brave souls lose their lives
trying to extinguish fire(s)..mc cain gets immediate transfer from harms way..Daddy, an Admiral gets into act and does "damage control" for johnny..lots of ex shipmates in Carolina's would love to.....

If the Republicans decide Palin is the new face of the Republican party, they will go the way of the Whigs. She is a beauty-queen Bush: dense, superficially Christian, stubborn not steadfast, and can't pronounce "nuclear." The American people have seen through this farce.....I hope.

Look, the only two things that Americans have to remember when they
step behind the curtain are:

1) The republicans and Bush , McCain messed this country up without caring what color I was or what I looked like. Incompetence knows no
color.

2) The qualifications for Vice President are the same as the qualifications for President. Sarah Palin is not qualified for either
Position.

This white Republican will be voting for "that one", whos name just
happens to be Barack Hussein Obama.

McCain might be right. But there is active hatred and there is prejudice. Both are bad but not the same thing. That said, the effect of both depends on where these people are and many there are in a particular population center. In one state it might be .025 percent of the population. But in another maybe its 2%. That 2% is more than enough to alter a close election.

One example between the two: a racist would proudly bring a monkey doll with Obama on its forehead to a rally and the other would not.

What color is Obama? I thought his mother was white?

Well, finally some straight talk from McFailing. Nice to see all his honor has not vanished.
But still... No Way , No How, No McCain.

To Independant but Leaning – Someone needs to tell you, I think you're leaning alright, but leaning BACKWARDS. How much do they pay you?

The only reason Obama hasn't been running away with this election, is because he's black.

Obama has had to be 10x's better, smarter, savvier, to be ahead in the polls. Even now, his supporters are just not sure... because of something called a Bradley factor. That factor is supposedly... 6%.

I was a Huge hillary supporter and delegate. I worked on her campaign for almost a year. when I hear other Hillary supporters who say they will support Mccain(not many of them) I have to think , they sure didnt listen to her, or have the same beliefs,values. As no one who listened to her would ever support Mccain and really would NOT support PALIN. Those who do , are the ones who are the racists. I dont think there are many of them though . Make sure you support and go out and vote for OBAMA. I a strong HILLARY supporter will VOTE for OBAMA with PRIDE

Wait a minute. What about "That One" and "Joe (yo) Mama comments.

McCain has run a very racist campaign. From the looks of those rallies, I don't see any people of other nationalities attending.

To all the African Americans who believe that Obama will look out for their best interests , you are sadly mistaken.

Oh, and to the Latino voter, you will simply be placed on the back burner to simmer, while Obama caters to his own "Unknown Agenda."

Obama is simply an "Uncle Tom" who uses the Clintons and any other white established individuals to get him elected.

(Let's see if this gets posted, not if moderated by an Obama supporter)

I hope the American people use their best judgement and give this grumpy old man his due...a nice retirement!!

He knows better than anyone race exists and he is counting on that factor to win. However, there are many intelligent people in the US and they won't fall into the "ignorant" category this time. There are also many who are NOT basing their vote on Obama's color and they should not. McCain is NOT able to understand or comprehend the fact he is too old, not smart enough and has a problem relating to ALL races and people in general. As a matter of fact-he doesn't work well with anyone. This morning he was blasting Castro-stirring up more anomisity. America is sick of this and he doesn't get it. Not to mention Palin is not VP material. Did anyone hear McCain this morning when he said "I am going to place the government on a budget-just like YOU are on a budget? He failed to mention himself because of course-he doesn't know what a budget is living with his rich wife. Yes McCain we are on a budget and we are sick of it! We are sacrificing just so you can help kill innocent people with your surge. Please vote for Obama. The best choice for right now.

We needed 8 points in the polls to be safe and now we have them. Momentum will take us to a landslide. I have never seen this level of enthusiasm for a presidential candidate in my lifetime and I am 57. On Tuesday night we will start talking about returning the United States to a place of honor in the world and bringing tolerance, justice and prosperity to our great country. If Obama is a great a leader as I think he is, we will be talking about changing the term limit laws in 6 years...

Ha, inexperienced.

Obama will make you have much fame Mcsame. You will go down in history as THE ONE as you called him, but you will be the one that got beat by the first African American to become president. Mcsame your name will have fame. You ran the most dirty campaign in history that I know of. Obama/Biden08

I will be soooooooo glad when this election is over so McCain can go to Arizona and Palin can go to Alaska ... isn't it comical that their states begin with A? Fill in the other two letters for these liars!

He can deny it all he wants, but since it's pretty obvious that he can't win it by this point, I firmly believe, especially after hearing all the reports of voting troubles people are having already, that he and the Repubs will try to steal. Of as much concern to me, though, is the fact that when Larry King asked McCain about the scenario of enemy fighters flying our way, does McCain trust PALIN to handle it...as if he (McCain) would already be out of the picture? Is it possible that Americans should be even MORE concerned about McCain's health? If folks are already envisioning Sarah in the big chair, that does not bode well for the top of that sad ticket.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!

If McCain doesn't think race will play a role in this election why does he and Palin continue to stoke the race fires at their rallies?

Try walking the walk for once McCain!

I cannot wait for this election to end and to put an end to the stoop at nothing level by McBush and McPalin. This is not fair to the AMerican people that we should have to endure the lies and unprofessional character behavior on their opponents. "We've got the scars to prove it!"Notice how they always call dems running for office as "most liberal" and try to discredit them as Americans or their loyalty to the country. They are not only divisive, but are the hateful, self-centered liars that have destroyed our country. We can do without theri service.

The damage is done McSenile, you played the divide and conquer game which turned out sour for most of ur supporters

Race will not decide the outcome. The economy will, and that's what McCain has been afraid of for some time.

Also, to answer Rico:

Nothing, there's nothing remotely incriminating on the video. The LA Times wrote an article about what was on it, and it's basically Obama at a banquet. His comment called for middle ground in the situation involving Palestinians and Israelis.

The reason it is NOT being released isn't because of Democratic fears, but because that was the condition under which the tape was obtained.

as bad as it may sound to say this, Senator McCain's best chance at winning this election IS racism. The Bradley effect is about what his campaign can hope for and don't think that at some of these McCain/Palin rallies with their cries of "terroist", "kill him", and other such venom that the racism isn't there. And Gov Palin didn't hurt those thoughts at all by saying Obama 'isn't one of us"!

I've never seen anything like this. McPalin and team are the biggest cry babies I've ever seen. This man is so out of touch.

If McCain had 98% of the white vote, I would be ashamed to be white! Funny it doesn't seem like Racism to those on the other side of the fence!

Why is CNN giving so much coverage to McCain and Palin – that's the real story here – We already know the republicans will do anythiong to win this election – including vote surpression.

Where did Senator McCain come up with "99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent "? I guess its where he gets all his numbers from, "thin hair". Oh Magoo, you've done it again.

countdown:

The differnce countdown is we will decide if we wish to practice and be called Godless. It is not a practice nor a label anyone else has the right to try and pin on someone.

By the way. Who says one has to be Christian or Godfearing in order to run for public office or to do well in public office. Read your history. Practically every single founding father including George Washington were Diest. They did not believe in the Chritsian God. And instead of being the heros of our country for fighting for and founding this nation, they all would have been criticized and rebuked by the likes of people as you today.

Yes there is no question that this is the most racist campaign in history. 100% of the African Americans are supporting the Afro candidate.

Now if that isn't racism, I don't know what is.

Hopefully America will wake up and in the morning of November 4, 2008, they will go to the voting booth and pull the lever for John S. McCain........

So, he is admitting that his injection of race baiting into the race has failed? Or perhaps Im reading to deep into it

Is this the place where people with low self esteem and other personal problems come to vent their frustrations without recourse?

Talking from both sides of his mouth as usual, that is McCain.

He has used Sarah Palin to stir up hatred and bring up the worst part of America.

His continous silence to the support his campaign gave to one female campaign staffer who came up with the lie about some "racial " attacks on her last week is deafening to say the least!!!

McCain called her without verifying her allegations( as usual) so did sister Sarah.

McCain listen, you sound drab and we can see through your lies and bigotry!!!

Afro-americans tend to vote overwhelmingly Democrat... so why are some people here saying it's racist if they turn out to vote for a an afro-american president?

By the way, Afro-americans are a minority (some 10%, I think) ... outnumbered by whites, hispanics... so if Obama wins it won't certainly be because ot the "black vote".

Really Senator? Is that why your Pennsylvania communications director pushed the Ashley Todd (the girl with the backward B) story to the press so mightily? Is it why your running mate is going around accusing Obama of "palling around with terrorists"? Is it why people in your rallies are crying out "kill him" without any denouncement from your camp?

Not racist? Really??

DOES ANYBODY REALLY BELIEVE THAT MCCAIN WOULD HAVE GRADUATED FROM THE ACADEMY IF HIS FATHER AND GRANDFATHER WERE NOT HIGH RANKED MILITARIES IN THE PAST?
THIS MAN WAS AND IS INCAPABLE. HE OWES HIS MILITARY CAREER TO HIS FAMILY AND HIS POLITICAL CAREER TO HIS RICH WIFE. HE HAS BEEN A FAILURE ALL HIS LIFE HE WOULD BE A BIGGER FAILURE BECOMING PRESIDENT OF THE US.

"These are one of the most difficult times in our history..." Doesn't he mean, SOME Of the most difficult times in our history? Well said, McCain. Also, "But I am totally convinced that 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent of Americans are going to make the decision based on who is best to lead this country." Interesting estimate...definitely sounds legit to me! HAHA.

Sorry Larry, not going to watch you tonite, got better things to do, going to watch Barack Obama and the World Series 5th game, (Hope it doesn't wash out)Can't wait till Nov 4th, YEAH, YEAH. BARACK/JOE B GO GO GO

This American and latino has voted for Obama-Biden. McCain is a disgrace to America!

The reason that McCain and Palin have come up with the labels for Obama that they have is because they don't want to seem out right racist so they use other terms like socialist,marxist,communist,they are a didvisive campaign unit.They are losing because of their negativity and offering no facts on any issues.He is a lost sheep and he is leading his flock astray along with his Joe the plummer bummer.

John McCain used to be a good man. I voted for him many times as a 32-year resident of AZ. He has lost my vote for good, no matter what race it is. Most Republicans have acted shamefully, McCain is leading the charge. It is terrible to see a once honorable man conduct himself this way.

American people understand qualification, real experiences, actual records, life-time government-achievemnets, job-resume and tested leadership.

So why did your campaing call Ashley Todd, who claimed she'd been robbed and asaulted in Pittsburgh by a Obama supporter, and offer your support ....before it was determined that her story was false.
That act stoked the fires of racism sir.

Poor judgement, reckless behavior, and ANOTHER just plain stupid decision.

Mccain, does KILL HIM, TERROIST, TREASON sound familiar. Oh, wait how about SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, OR OUR LATEST MARXIST.

Please if this isn't racism in it rarest form I don't know what it is. This country has so long to go; and we have the nerve to tell another what it should and shouldn't do. Please take care of your own issues before you give another country any type of advice.

Funny – a man has a black father and a white mother – was in fact raised by whites and yet, he, too has to wrestle with narrow and stereotypical perceptions.

So by McCains logic, 99.44% of Americans will be voting solely on issues and not race?

Which means that only .56% of Americans are racist?

Yeah right.....

I cannot wait for this election to end and to put an end to the stoop at nothing level by McBush and McPalin. This is not fair to the AMerican people that we should have to endure the lies and unprofessional character behavior on their opponents. Notice how they always call dems running for office as "most liberal" and try to discredit them as Americans or their loyalty to the country. They are not only divisive, but are the hateful, self-centered liars that have destroyed our country. We can do without theri service. "I've got the scars to prove it!"

Mccain, does KILL HIM, TERROIST, TREASON sound familiar. Oh, wait how about SOCIALIST, COMMUNIST, OR OUR LATEST MARXIST.

I pray to God you are dead wrong!! We are sick and tired of being sick and tired!!! Aren't you?

OBAMA / BIDEN '08

A combination of racism, arrogance, ignorance, misinformation, xenophobia and hatred will determine the votes cast for you. Weather that'll win the election for you or not is yet to be seen.

Fortunate for the U.S., but unfortunate for McCain that we are not as racist as his campaign obviously thought we were.

Countdown.....Its so nice to see yougeneralizing ALL DEMOCRATS– lumping us all together like just because we have political views that are similar that we believe in everything alike. If you could pull your brain forward a few decades youd realise that the ability to have independant thought-also known as having an open mind (which is why OBAMA is SLAUGHTERING mccain) is a good thing. You live in a very drab and glib world I bet. If someone doesnt agree with you on everything then you write the whole person off as a loser. Hmm I bet youve cracked a few molars from gritting your teeth so hard watching OBAMA maul McCain. Oh and if the shoe fits-kick yourself with it....but I still feel sorry for your dim view of the world.

Larry King should sleep and think of himself first; what he has become since he invited Hillary to his programme the night before the PA primary.

PS: Arizona is now in the "toss up" column because we know NOT to vote for McCain/Bush/Palin!!!

So says Mr. Pasty White himself.

Obama will win in spite of all the racist tactics pulled by the right.

I wish CNN and other organizations would stop sensationalizing the racial dynamic given that the campaigns aren't talking about it. Let's focus on the issues in the final week.

If McCain thinks people will make a choice "for the best of reasons," why is he constantly promoting the worst of reasons? Why is he constantly trying to connect Obama to people we all know have no influence on Obama and will have no role in the White House? Why is he continuing to scare people by putting the most ludicrous labels imaginable on Obama? Why is his running mate making bald-faced lies about Obama and the Constitution?

If McCain thinks people will vote for "the best of reasons," why isn't he giving us even lukewarm reasons for voting for McCain?

This coming from the guy who voted against Martin Luther King Day in Arizona.

For those who say African-Americans are only voting for Obama because he's black: If the GOP would not actively encourage racial division and discrimination against minorities, and put up policy ideas that might appeal to them (or, to be even more fairly, to *not* make any differences at all in their policies based on racial issues), don't you think they might have a better chance at attracting them? Instead of increasingly repelling them?

This guy is just tone deaf when it comes to choosing phrases.

Really, you want to invoke Ivory Soap?

Not that most people under 50 would have any clue what that reference is, but still...

McCain says, "I have faith in the American people that they will make the judgment for the best of reasons.""

Why John? You didn't when you selected your VP candidate...

boy are people nasty on this site or what? i can feel the love and bipatisanship. if O wins, who are you haters going to complain about? you might even have to go and find jobs?

You people who think Obama will save you and work for you are complete idiots. The junior Senator cares about himself. Period. Wake up already! He has not accomplished ANYTHING while in Congress, yet you want to give him a promotion? So, what, he can "spread the wealth around?" No thank you.

My guess is that you people who are voting for him have never worked your butt off for anything, never paid taxes, never did anything! It's not so nice to have what you worked so long and hard for given away to those who refuse to work, earn, invest, save. Never Obama. Junior can stay in DC or go home to Chicago. I won't vote for him to send my money to welfare recipients.

The Obama camp has played the Race Card every chance they get!

I have had AA co-workers come up to me and actually say they are so excited about voting for a "Bro" they can hardly stand it!

When I try to talk to them about issues they don't/can't talk-they are blindly voting a Race Vote!

If Obama steals the election I will be the first to PROTEST!

Bad Econmy, Weak President, Civil War-Can't wait!

This coming from the same man who consider" the flag of the confederacy a heritage"

99 and 44/100. That is Ivory soaps slogan from 1878. Only McCain would remember those days

. . .The person that screwed this country up is white and ugly like me.

John... there's not a shred of anything I would believe coming from you anymore...

Wolf! Wolf!! Wolf!!!

You are destined to live a lonely, spite-filled old age...

Independent but Leaning October 29th, 2008 5:06 pm ET

McCain will be our next President. "Mark. My. Words."

NOT GONNA HAPPEN

McCain denies that racism will play a role when he and Palin have run a subliminal racist campaign is so stupid. He has sold his soul to the devil.

mccain is a race-bater, he is the only one who has racist undertones about his opponent in his campaign.

This white, 64 year old republican women from Arizona is voting Obama/Biden and has been donatting to Obama for America for the past year in $10 donations when I get paid!!!
God Bless Obama/Biden

McCain will go down in history win or lose as the candidate who did nothing but RACE BAIT. You don't call someone a terrorist, ask the question "Who's the real Barack Obama", not denounce "kill-him" etc NOT be a race baiter. McCain should be ashamed of himself. The worst part......he's not.

White Woman in NC
Already voted for Obama/Biden

Hey McCain,
Shame on you for not even making an effort to garner any of the African American voter base during your campaign.
You could have at least "tried" to pander to our voter block by campaigning in at least a couple of Afr. American cities..

We are open-minded people, and don't all think alike…

In fact, can you name one thing that you have ever done that has been in the interest of black voters in this country throughout your career?

No wonder 90+% of African Americans are voting for Obama. Not because he is black. But more-so because he cares.

I agree, race will not be a major factor in this election. I believe the factor is AGE. McCain had aged 10 years in 2. Then you think Palin may be the one to answer that 3 A.M. phone call, and Wow, oh no. What would she say or do? Anything intelligent? She hasn't said or done anything on the campaign trail, except read a teleprompter very well during the convention. I have complete faith and trust in Obama/Biden 2008.

It is sad to say, but Palin has contributed a lot to that particular – that is is primary so-called base. McCain has followed with silence, which means silence is acceptance.

Its disturbing that the far-right people commenting on these blogs continue to spew the failed, lies-hate-fear-and-division that has LOST their party this election.

Hey, Republicans, America rejects your vile politics!

John McCain denies, his family had Slaves in Mississippi. McCain's brother attends Family Reunion's (hosted by the Black side of the McCain Family in Mississippi), John McCain does not!

JOHN MCCAIN IS THE LEFT OVER PERCENTAGE THAT IS RACIST. HE IS DOING EVERYTHING WRONG TO WIN THIS CAMPAIGN. PALIN WAS A BAD CHOICE. THE BOTH OF THEM HAVE STIRRED UP RACISM, HATRED AND ANGER AMONG AMERICANS. THEY DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY OR ANY OF THE MAIN ISSUES. THEY HAVE SUNKEN TO THE LOWEST LOW. OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.A.

Thanks to McCain and Palin's attempt to divide Americans helped us look at the real issues, the economy. Money is green and jobs create money to pay our house mortgages, save for our childrens education, put gas in our autos, and enjoy some of the better things in life which this Republican administration has taken away. Race is not the issue, it's the economy.

Hey McCain,
Shame on you for not even making an effort to garner any of the African American voter base during your campaign.

Now the dodderin' old fool is getting his stats from 20 year old Ivory soap commercials??

If they in fact vote for the right reasons, McCain loses. he better hope they don't whcih is why he has chosen PA for a game changer. It would have been most helpful to him if he only had a message and some principles.

"I admit racism exists ..." Since we ALL acknowledge that fact are we to believe that only 56 one hundredths of society is racist? Because a racist certainly would not make a decision for a leader based on the facts when one of the choices is not of his like. The only reason that the polls are so close ... as Rush Limbaugh would put it "Is because he's BLACK". Which is another sad result of the "drop of blood" theory (Anyone who has a drop of "black or African" blood is considered African American). That ideology is insulting to anyone of mixed heritage and to think that in 2008 we still "hold these truths to be self evident". Look in the mirror "white" America ... can you honestly say that your heritage is not combined with another? When was the last time you traced your heritage? You would probably be surprised at how many so-called whites are actually non-whites. "Judge lest ye be judged"

Coming from the outside of your country (Canada), we have health care that the government pays for...oh sure it's not perfect but better than yours (oh wait you have none), where race and religion is not an issue...Is Canada a socialist country? We just had an election and...because we are not sure of Harper, we handed him another minority government. ENOUGH of your negative and linking "that one" to every person who does not agree with you...and attacks coming from the person who abused her power in Alaska...it's just annoying..

That is an interesting opinion, McCain. You are right, Americans are not stupid and could not be fooled again by the GOP. You know, after reading this, I might begin to respect you again, as much as I used to, but I am very afraid that you still have a few rabbits to pull out of a dirty GOP hat.

Joe the Fake and Sarah the Flake!!

Is this what has become of the GOP of General Eisenhower??? Ask his grand-daughter. She is openly supporting and backing Obama!!

McCain followed up by stating that smearing Obama as a Muslim, though, was fair game.

I cant stand palin's face or voice. She's so annoying!

BREAKING NEWS: MCCAIN SUPPORTS OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

"These are the one of the most difficult times in our history… I have faith in the American people that they will make the judgment for the best of reasons."
-JOHN MCCAIN

I'M GLAD TO SEE MCCAIN IS FINALLY ENDORSING BARACK OBAMA...LOL...

McCain's dirty campaign has taken my breath away. It is truly a campaign focused on divisiveness. Sadly, I don't think it's his personal feelings. For me, that makes him more dangerous than a person who declares his campaign reflects his personal values. He and Palin leave a bad taste in my mouth and if he wins, it will be more divided America.

Yea, it may be racism but don't forget Obama is half white. He is biracial. You are actually putting down your own race if you say you won't vote for him because he is black.

Race may not come into voting,but fear...The rhetoric that they are saying, the BS they are saying... "Welcome Back Joe McCarthy." The Republicans are so full of you know what...

Listening to people on the news and hearing how Obama is a radical, a Socialist, a Communist, a Maxist. I think that after 8 years of Bush/Chaney many Americans are a bit leary of the Government.

Real America, Un-America I am a Pennylvanian, I don't buy into their BS, Like I said let's shake the Republican tree and see what falls out.

Vote

Obama/Biden08/12

All the Repugs have done is play the race card

Mac campaign is erratic as he is ... can't even hold a consistent message for a day .. everyday is something new ........

Hmmm.. considering that the only kind of people he can mobilize at his rallies are people who spout out "kill him" or "terrorist", as he incites racial and terrorist links in every negative attack he espouses…
Mccain used to be a leader… not anymore.
I do not understand why he has run his whole campaign on the defense? Why didn't he simply show everyone that he is a leader?? Maybe he is a sheep in wolf's clothing afterall.

MCCain pray and hope everyday that racism puts him in the white house. Its not going to happen, no way no how no MCSAME!!!!!!!!!!

I never understand why people are shocked because racisism is still in this country or to find out that racisim is still in this country. Take a look at your life . Look around your neighborhood, church, job, and friends and if they all look like you it does not mean you are a racisist, but, there is a reason for that. So stop being shocked that racisim exist and just talk about it.

McCain is right, there's not enough racists to give him Pennsylvania anymore. Not even in Western Pennsylvania. Such a shame though, there's just no other way for him to win.

I'm sure racism will play some part, unfortunately. However, I'm more concerned about another stolen election, considering all the Repub's dirty tricks in the last two! If McCain "wins," even after all the endorsements Obama has from Republicans (and all polls indicating Obama is ahead), the voters won't stand for it this time! Our country simply cannot take four more years of Bush's policies, which is exactly what we would get with McCain/Palin. Please VOTE everyone!!!

Uh.....let's try about 45% racist shall we?

I considered McCain until Palin came into play. Good grief, what the heck was McCain thinking? He wasn't.

McCain is completely in denial.

He's has used what Charles Barley called "code words" all through this campaign. His physical aversion to Obama in the debates was very marked. What ,besides innuendos, slurs and defamatory suggestions has he got?Too bad he has offered no solutions for the American people who need them. He is no longer a statesman.

I support John McCain and will indeed vote for him; I believe Cindy will be a GREAT First Lady.

I can't wait until Senator McCain makes it to the White House, he will be a GREAT President.

Oh, plus then I can remove my John McCain lawn sign and replace it with my lawn jockey.

Go McCain!!!!!

um,,,Independent but Raving...
Only.If.McCain.Steals,It

Look. If this election weren't about race, Obama would be up by 20 points. John McCain has offered not one example of how he will differ from Bush on the economy. The same economy that is in the toilet right now. And despite all this evidence that McCain is going to continue Bush's policies, some people still can't bring themselves to vote for a highly educated and qualified black man. After this is all done, and people take a look at how McCain ran his campaign, and when we see all the videos of his and Palin's rallies, and we see the ad's and fliers and pamphlets that were shown and distributed in small towns, and we go back and hear the nasty robocalls, and when we look back and remember Ashley Todd, Joe the Plumber, Sarah the gimmick, and when we look at how Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh conducted their shows during this election cycle in order to get McCain elected. (Remember Rush saying "IT'S ABOUT RACE!!!"), after we look back at all this, we will see that the McCain's campaign was run very much like campaigns were run in the deep south during the civil rights movement.

if sen. mccain's statement regarding race is true, i got a bridge in alaska that i want to sell him . . .

as far as his campaign tactics, they're downright repulsive.

Mr McDumb please go away.

Racism will play in the fact that when Obama wins, it will be by a smaller margin than had he been white. I truly believe that.
-----------------------------

The proof will be if Obama receives less white votes than Gore or Kerry did in 2000/2004 in a particular state.

Meantime, it'd be nice to do away with all the sexism that Obama supporters and the media flung at Hillary during the primaries.

Finally, you tell the truth, you should know about racism, you and missy the cheerleader, have been the leader of the largest KKK rallies in modern history.

That of course, after leading the Republican Nazi Convention.

I'am more concerned about, the republicans stealing this election.....mccain/palin, has to pay the devil it's due.......Namely, rove, bush, and big business....The "cast of characters" will still be there....they won't clean up Washington. Because they have sold their souls..........................

Hmmm.. considering that seems to be the only kind of people he can mobilize at his rallies, as he incites racial and terrorist links in every negative attack he espouses...
Mccain used to be a leader... not anymore.
I do not understand why he has run his whole campaign on the defense? Why didn't he simply show everyone that he is a leader?? Maybe he is a wolf in sheep's clothing afterall.

So papaw mccain will not apologize to the American people for him and palin stoking racism. He is just old and live in a fantasy.

there is a poll out today in kentucky

mcbush is up by 3 points!!!!!!!!

hurry election hurry

let get theses bimbos out of office!!!!!!!!!!!!

obama biden 08

John... nothing you say will ring true with me after allowing your campaign call Obama a terriorist, un-american, socialist, marxist etc. all of which you KNOW is not true. But it doesn't matter, everyone sees your desperate grab for power for what it is. I can only hope that when all is said and done on November 5th you have found it all worthwhile. I for one will be happy for President Obama and sad for someone I once held in high regard, someone who sold his soul and dignity and still lost a race.

Yes McCain..as long as you are alive, there is racism.

Obama T-SHIRT – $10, -

PLANE TICKET TO SEE OBAMA AT THE CONVENTION – $500, -

COST TO TAKE A DAY OFF WORK TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH – unemployment, -

JOHN McCAIN'S 95-yr-old MOTHER LIVES TO SEE HER SON LOSE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION TO A NEGRO (SHE USE TO OWNED) – PRICELESS

There couldn't really still be racism in America could there???
(end sarcasm).

Just ask the residence of Kentucky, W. Virginia, and Tennesse.

Wow. Referencing the "pure" and "ivory" when "denouncing" racism. Wow. Just wow.

Some people don't like this notion of "spreading the wealth". But I say to them, you have a choice: you can "spread the wealth", or you can continue to "spread your cheeks" and take the [R] drudging for another 4 years.

@ Real Story...

And that's a real good thing...so can you imagine what could happen in the space of, let's say 4-8 yrs?

Hallelujah Lord!

MacCain will be the same victim of race card as Hillary. He will be the victim of AGE CARD as well.

You know, noone can make any other comments about OB but good words, this is ABSOLUTELY _not_ right.

AMERICA, YES WE CAN! RED, YELLOW, BLACK WHITE, WE ARE AMERICA, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Of course he would deny it. Why then is there always some racial connotation in the attacks? He talked to a Muslim, Palastinian etc... Most of which are non white.

If you want to find out about this mans real character please read about his first wife and his philandering. This man has a checkered past that is not being explored. The story of his first wife is appalling. Very sad that he dumped her because she had a disfiguring accident. I hope Cindy stays healthy and pretty or he will own half of everything.

There were 36 or 38 Black delegates to the Republican Party – the old Republican Party of Linicoln died some time ago as it moved from center-right to right to the social right – even away from the fiscal conservatives.

Funny, when you're running mate allows death threats to be yelled and cheered for at her events, that is racism to an extreme. When you and your campaign promote division and exclusion, that is racism. I am Native American and when I look at the crowds McCain/Palin draw, I don't see myself represented. I am Catholic and when I hear such insulting, crude lies I question Palin's so called faith in God. My God is all loving and all accepting.

Ah, 99 44/100% is what Ivory Soap uses in their advertising to describe its purity level...this might be a big gaffe!

GO OBAMA/BIDEN!!

McCain and Palin's GOP "know nothing party" is a disgrace to America. The repugs cater to racists and the ignorant among us. It has worked for them in the past. NOT THIS TIME!!!

Obama will win. Obama is our only hope.

If racisim isn't a part of this election, it's certainly not because the Republican party didn't want to make it part! But I hope Sen. McCain is right – I want to believe in the same America that Barack Obama believes in, where everyone cares about each other and will work together to make life better for all. That's why I've already voted for Obama! He never rose to the bait about racism – he's kept the focus on the issues, not on himself. If you haven't voted already, be sure to do it now, or on Nov. 4th. No excuses!! Barack the Vote!!!

Thats it! I've had it!

When you say "We dont know Obama" When you say we should be "scared of Obama" Thats racism. Pure and simple. SO dont say that racism ont play a major role in this.

McCain has ran one of the most culturally and racially divisive campaigns in American history. So for him to say racism wont play a role, after the garbage coming from him and the GOP is crazy.

And im not hearing anything coming from anyone saying im playing the "race card." Cause im not. Im playing the "reality card."

I am tired of McCain trying to taint Obama character. Here is a man who has done everything correct and a role model for so many. They are just using scare tactics and I hope Americans don't fall for this. Both Palin and McCain has skeltons in their lives. Palin's minister believes in witches and he gave an address to an organization trying to seperate Alaska from the USA and she shouts Country First.

McCain denies it, but hopes like he** race does come into play....it's his last hope.

my choice was to stay at home. now that you've picked Palin, I will vote for Obama.

NEEEEEEEWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSS Flash....... Most of the people voting for McCain are white. Are they racist? No. Leave the black demographic alone and stop generalizing us.

HUGE rally in NC for Obama today--and huge voting right after!

Sure hope Palin keeps talking! Everytime she opens her mouth with her America-hating divisive trash, people send money and votes to Obama!!! Exciting!!!!

99.44%????? Where did McCain pull that from.

Is that a result of the No Child Left Behind New Math Curriculum??

Or is that from the Daddy got me into Yale (Bush), or Annapolis (McCain) Math for Spoiled Legacy Kids 101??

When will the Republicans learn that being intellegent is a required trait for quality leadership.

I would bet that 99.44% of all racists are voting McCain!!! So by Republican faulty logic does that means that McCain is palin' around with Racists and we ought to investigate him and maybe do an expose on which Republicans are unamerican racists. . . DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

If Obama loses, it will be blamed on race. If he wins, any criticism of him will be racists. Obama and his followers are race baiters. There will be no excuse to continue affirmative action policies if he is elected. Continueing to do so will fuel a huge backlash.

If you are not voting for Obama because he is black then.................VOTE FOR THE WHITE HALF!!!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

mccains words its like two year old talking..

It's awful that this comes up now. I think racism has always figured into elections, especially if you are African American and have seen so many rich, white men win the presidency. I wonder why no one has ever asked that community how it feels to always be led by a white guy when there are African Americans in the past who have been qualified to be president.

America is finally getting a chance to show their commitment to diversity if we elect Obama. If not, then we'll show to ourselves and the world how racist we really are.

McCain and Palin have tried at every opportunity to bring race into this election.

"That One" was racist.
Palling around with terriorists was racist.
"He is not like us" was racist.
"The Pro-American parts of the country" was racist.

This 41 year old white woman is going to vote for the smart one.

Obama.

Well, since Barack is both white AND black, those too ignorant to vote for the black half, can vote for the white half.

(See how stupid prejudice sounds?)

Obama / Biden 08.

What a bunch of sheeple! Can't wait to be told what to think and how to behave, can you? I cannot ignore the man behind the curtain of Wright.

McCain will be our next President. "Mark. My. Words."

SUPPORT CORPORATISM IN AMERICA! Fight against freedom, fight against democracy, fight against humanity, McCainiacs. Fight. Fight! FIGHT!!!

Of course he's going to say that. Otherwise, if he wins it would make him president by default.

If Barack was White....This thing wouldn't even be close.

C'Mon..we all know that.

"But I am totally convinced that 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent of Americans are going to make the decision based on who is best to lead this country," he continued.

"These are the one of the most difficult times in our history… I have faith in the American people that they will make the judgment for the best of reasons."

McCain's right. That's why he isn't going to win.

He is right. No racism on my part. The fact that McCain is white has nothing to do with my voting Obama.

Why are the Obamites so afraid of the video currently been held by the L.A. Times.
If there is nothing to it let it be released so everyone can get on with the process of voting for POTUS.
Uncommitted

Argghhh! It is so difficult to read what the obama supporters say.
If the republicans win, they stole the election, if the democrats win, the people have taken back the government. How closed minded can you get. Oh, I forgot, you're Obama supporters. Guess that answers that question.

Although he is hoping it does

Its all about who is best.

80% of those of us outside the US see Obama as the best choice.

It still continues to amaze me that many voters actually believe McCain's lies, smears and outright mischaracterization of Obama.

And how can McCain suggest that Obama is a socialist when McCain's tax policies also redistribute wealth!!

And how can McCain suggest that Obama is a socialist when it was Bush who spearheaded distribution of rebate cheques this past Spring?

And how can McCain suggest that Obama is a socialist when it was Bush's administration who initiated the bailout of AIG, the bailout of Lehman Brothers, the bailout of other banks and the $700B bailout for Wall Street??

And how can Palin suggest that Obama is a socialist when she taxed the oil companies and gave over $3,000 dollars to each person in Alaska?

HAHAHAHA! John McCain is a joke! If race isn't going to determine this election, then please stop race baiting John. Stop having your volunteers pretend they were beat up by big black men. And stop putting a map of the Middle East behind Obama's picture in all your new ad's. Stop trying to find a darker radical professor to tie Obama to.

tom delay is scum plain and simple.

McCain will be our next President. "Mark. My. Words."

90% Bush
10% Palin (I mean "Maverick")

Not sure if it's any better the other way around...

Racism is all that McCain has left to hope for. The Repugs are complete frauds!

I hope that Senator McCain is correct, although I have been shocked and saddened not only by how virulent racism still is in this country, but by how acceptable some people still consider it to be.

Vote early, people!

McCain's entire campaign of late has been based on racism and attempting to create fear of Obama. The old man has no integrity, and probably never did have any.

"This accurately states John McCain is out of touch with american society and he made NO effort to make gains with the African American vote.

GET OUT AN VOTE EARLY!!!>> PLEASE!!!"

McCain appealed to ALL Americans. How open were African-Americns to voting for him? Have you heard the Howard Stern segment where he asks African-Americans how they feel about Obama's policies–then he lists all of McCain's policies? They supported the policies across the board when they thought they were Obama's policies.

Well over 90% od African-Americans are voting for Obama- No other segment of the population is voting is such a transparent fashion.

If the Republican party spent $150000 on clothes for Sarah, I think the least they can do is buy a new suit for Joe the Plummer.

99 44/100% ? Boy, is he naive.

Palin carries herself and speaks in a VERY VULGAR FASHION she has a VERY ANNOYING VOICE. According to Mc Cain's Advisor , she is a WHACK JOB.

"You know Larry, my friend, we've tried and tried, but it doesn't seem our racist base has the numbers to swing things our way."

The Bradley Effect is in full force here in Pennsylvania . . . . Against John
McCain! People are saying that their voting for McCain to keep up small
town appearances, but word on the street is they are really voting for
Barack!

Dems unite 08.

Republican plan to vote for their candidate. The real question is whether or not racism within the Democrat party will have any effect on Obama's chances.

Wow for the first time during this campaign, McCain has finally admitted what many already knew......America still has pockets of Racism.

Now that McCain has admitted this, maybe folks can get off of Murtha's remarks. I don't believe that there are so many blind folks living in this country. Blind or in denial.

The important thing, John, is that you tried to play the race card and it didn't work. So why have you and you sidekick, Palin, tried every other name calling card? Morons.

Of course race will play a role but in Obama's favor, not McCain's. Just look at the percentage of blacks voting for Obama; statistically, the numbers just don't work. An overwhelming majority of blacks are voting for Obama and that's just a fact. But ask them about his policies and I'll bet a large majority have no clue about his policies.

McCain's Legacy will be his part in creating a division in our Country by his divisive and dispicable smear tactics used in his campaign, and inciting racism, hatred, and bigotry which we as Americans had worked so hard to overcome all of these years.

How can you deny racism when your campaign has played the race card? Don't get it twisted....McCain is counting on racism in the General Election.....but it isn't going to happen.

This Election is about HOPE and CHANGE.....not race.

I hope someone plays back this quotation to McCain after Obama wins. He will need to be reminded that the best person won and that was what he called for

Sen. McCain doesn't mean what he says. If that was the case, he would stop with the racial overtures that are being made. He would correct the people that are calling Sen. Obama racial slurs and condemn the potential plot that was against him. He hasn't done that.

I don't want a president who thinks that is ok. It is awful how disrespectful they have become. I am not a fan of Gov. Palin. She is not smart enough to be president or vice president but her own party threw her to the dogs. How disrespectful can you be?

Obama/Biden

what does mccain know, he is the one that's been spreading devision across america, him and his moose hunter.

Oh we believe you Johnny Boy! That's why you and that idiot from Alaska have been using every race baiting tactic short of the use of the "n" word. You're betting on racism and I think you're going to lose!

Racism is ignited at each McCain/Palin "rally" and McCain KNOWS this! You would think McCain had more honor than this. He is running such a shameful campaign!

We need a "steady hand"!

Obama 08!

all you have done is play the race card.

I dont understand why the democrats are so upset with Elizabeth Doles remark. After all most democrats pride themselves on being liberal and open minded. Most of them believe in Darwinism and look down their nose at anyone who believes in God as being stupid.
I wish you dems would stop being such hypocites. Remember if the shoe fits wear it.

Wake up, and smell the coffee. Let's try about 30%

SEn McCain said "I am totally convinced that 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent of Americans are going to make the decision based on who is best to lead this country,". I guest that same total wil vote for Sen Obama/Biden. Go Obama/Biden

McCain is either very naive or a liar

How delusional!! Polls show that 20% of Americans admit they won't vote for Obama based on race. Let's see: 100%-20%=80%

Not only is he not good in economics, he's not good in math either.

Finally something I can agree with McBush on. Race will not determine the outcome of this election. of the ten states with the lowest African American population, Obama still leads you in 6 of them

Mccain Denies racism just like Palin is denying that she is unqualifies for the VP Position.

McCain ... give it up. Your pick of that awful woman who is not only clueless but also divisive sealed the deal for you. You are done.

just dont vote for the inexperienced empty suit socialist and nobama aint the qualified one, the brainwashed followers have to know this, voting for him is just showing idiocy

with terms being used like elitist, marxist,antichrist, muslim,and socialist .it is racist to the core ,because that is CODE

I don't believe anything that comes out John McCain's mouth. He has lost all the respect majority have for him.

He is now a sore looser.

We thee people's voices will be heard loud and clear this time around.

"Election on Racism"

THOSE ARE OBAMA TALKING POINTS.

That's right; we're voting for a 21st century leader, not someone who wants to go back to 1950. But I will give McCain some credit here.

McCain will be happy and jump around for joy if he wins Arizona. The last poll put Obama within 2 to 3 points between him in his home state. I am rooting for a landslide Obama/Biden to fix the mess the repubs put us.

Let us send a clear message to the repubs this time around.

Coming from a man that insights racism at his rallies and let his pet spew filth at hers. Sen McCain please explain the 800,000 you gave to the spokesperson of the PLO. Can we now call for Sen McCain to resign his seat in the Senate. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he goes back on the floor he will have the political pull of save the cockroaches.

McCain/Palin are racist when they call Obama a terrorist and when they only speak to people in area that are majority white american and what about this when McCain did not support MLK birthday as a holiday he went against it and McCain state does not recognize MLK birthday as a national holiday I see the media did not confirm this to everybody in American why he do not honor MLK birthday as a holiday

If only 99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent of Americans are making their decision based on who is best to lead this country at this time; BARACK OBAMA WOULD HAVE HAD THIS ELECTION WRAPPED IN THE BAG.

VOTE EARLY – VOTE BARACK.

True. I'm voting for "THAT ONE" AND BIDEN.

"99 and forty-four-one-hundredths percent" – really John? In a question about Race, do you really want to invoke the "purity" percentage of "Ivory" soap?

When is Palin going to release her medical records?

That's certainly not a logical conclusion....especially since it was he allowed race-baiting and hate-mongering at many of his rallies...

But it won't work ~ NOT THIS TIME!

If 98% of the White's were voting for McCain.. The Black would Shout Racial... What is the Blog about??

Yes i'm voting for that One Obama Yes so get out and vote

crime rate will drop tonight for about 30 minutes

He had better hope for his own sake that he's wrong.

For the sake of everyone else, I pray that he's right.

McCain denies racism but sure hopes it come into play come election day. H and Palin have played extremely filthy. I can't and won't trust john McCain again on anything.

99 and 44 one hundreths? Isn' that Ivory Soap? How Racist!

So, does McCain agree with Limbaugh about the Powell endorsement, but that Powell is just part of the 0.56% who are racists?

Whatever...McBush hopes the bigots come out to vote for him and keeps the others from voting for Obama.

Of course he will deny that race will play a part in this election. That is why he and Palin have been working so hard to paint Obama as different, some one who will not keep America safe. I hope the American people will see through the McCain/Palin ticket. We do not need four more years of Bush's policies.

Obama/Biden 08

i just dont trust McCain...look how poorly his campaign has been run, how can we trust him to run our Nation?

So Papaw McCain still can't apologize to the American people for stoking the dangerous fires of racism. Sad, just sad that he is that low down.

Well it will McCain and you and your running mate made it an issue.

Poll in AZ

Electoral Votes: 10.

Rasmussen Reports
Date: 10/26
Arizona
Added: 10/27/08

John McCain 51%
Barack Obama 46%

This accurately states John McCain is out of touch with american society and he made NO effort to make gains with the African American vote.

GET OUT AN VOTE EARLY!!!>> PLEASE!!!

Racism will play in the fact that when Obama wins, it will be by a smaller margin than had he been white. I truly believe that.

Darn right we're voting for the most qualified one.

That One/Biden '08
