He's brilliant and inspirational and has his heart and head in the right place for these times. We can't afford to have four more years of the disastrous, worn-out Bush-McCain Republican policies and their discredited, unilateral, cowboy-style, pre- emptive international aggression. And please, don't allow Sarah Palin to be a heart beat away from being Commander in Chief of the United States... Talk about a dangerous recipe for disaster! Vote for Obama and vote early!

The closest any poll has him at, six days out, is the Rasmussen poll at 7 points, while the average of PA polls has him down double digits at 11 points. Even if McCain gets it closes the gap, the city votes from Philly and Pittsburgh will put Obama over the top, just like they did for Kerry in '04 and Gore in '00. McCain is wasting time and money in PA, which is costing him in places like Ohio, Florida and Virginia.

I'll tell him the good news... That being said I am sure that McCain thinks the fundamentals of his campaign are sound. Problem is his campaign has been lying to us for so long that he is starting to believe his own BS. That being said the three keys to the race are 1. voter turnout, 2.voter turnout and 3. voter turnout. Despite everything W has done 28% of those surveyed still like him. If only half the people vote that 28% is equal to a McCain Landslide. If 60% vote than Obama squeaks by. If we can push turnout closer to 70% then it is Obama who gets the landslide. It is simple math. That is why we have to get every vote we can for Obama. And it is also why the Republicans are trying so hard to turn off the electorate with their negative attacks. The only way they win is if enough of us stay home. Don't let them do it. My nephew just went back to Colorado so he could vote for Obama. I'll tell him the good news...

Under his plan, the consumers which you rely upon will actually have the money to spend on your good and service rather than needing to more picky with where and how thye spend your money. In actuality, if you run your business soundly, there should be MORE opportunity to sell your product and boost profits! I'm no economists but this just seems like common sense to me. You will need to fire more people (I say more because of where the unemployment rate is now) with the same tax policies because your customers will not have the means to pay for your product. Money in the consumers hand will lead to more money and more expansion opportunities than money in the company's hands.

McCain is going to win by the slimmest of margins. Obama continually over polls. Anyone remember that from the primary's. BTW - in Nevada early voting the youth vote is lower than it was in 2004. Someone may want to get the kids off the video games and Ipods and tell them to go vote. I have news for you all. McCain is going to win by the slimmest of margins. Obama continually over polls.

And maybe Chi4obama, McCain's negative campaigning isn't winning over many people, but your Obama friends are certainly not helping matters with all of their name-calling. At one point, I was uncertain. However, I'd rather align myself with other voters who avoid using slurs and epithets in every post they make. If I read 'Caribou Barbie' or 'Dimwit' or 'Mc-Anything' one more time, I might just scream. So thank your fellow posters for pushing me back over to the 'rethuglican' side of the aisle.
