BARACK THE VOTE! Obama/Biden '08

I really am appalled that folks have the nerve to question the NAACP for being concerned about whether or not AA votes are being disenfranchised or suppressed...AA voters have 1.) Not always had the right to vote in this country 2) When they did finally get the right to vote (15th Amendment – rat. 1870) there were still widespread tactics to keep AAs from voting anyway (poll taxes, guessing games, literacy tests, property ownership requirements, flat out violence & physical threats, etc.) up until the Civil Rights Movement 3). Then with the civil rights movement in 1968, finally we began to see some change. 4). Yet in the years 2000 and 2004 we still see problems with electronic voting machines, long lines, hanging chads, recounts, etc. in predominantly African-American communities. ACORN could register fake registrants for the next 10 voting cycles and it wouldn't even come close to the level of disenfranchisement that has been waged against African-Americans in this country as it pertains to voting.

Now I'm not saying that everything is the Republicans fault, or that there aren't problems that occur in other communities, but I am saying I don't think its a stretch or arrogance or radical or an entitlement mentality for African-Americans to be concerned and cautious in this particularly historical election...by any measure, their concerns are warranted.

So what new low is the GOP ticket going to sink using Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity talking points. This isn't kitchen sink stuff. This is under the house in wormy earth stuff.

sorry if this posts twice, my post seemed to disappear..

Why is Palin's picture on this story?

McCain/Palin are calling Obama a socialist. As I sat in church this morning one parable came to mind. When the rich man asked Jesus how he could get to heaven, Jesus told him to sell everything he had and give the money to the poor....OMG!! Jesus was a SOCIALIST!

I voted for Gore when I lived in Fl. MY VOTE DIDNT COUNT!! My vote will THIS TIME and I am going to photograph my vote for Obama with my cell phone and urge all of you to do the same. It has now come down to a total lack of trust in THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. NO 2000!!

This race is far from OVER!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch!

American needs McCain/Palin 2008!

Obama will pay to bus in voters to Ohio. It will be called, " Park Bench Voters". Like Mom always said, "you hang around with people who are like you." Obama had some radical friends in his life.

With the help of ACORN, 45 million blacks will vote this year even though there are only 13 million eligible to vote in the whole country.

Get it together VA!!!

what arrogance

Do I ever feel sorry for America. I have never seen such a dirty campaign in my whole life. McCain is the dirtiest person and would even not deserve the title of Senator if it where me who would decide. I wish the President could have the power of firing Senators. As president, it would be my very first move. When you watch him in rallies, you can observe his bimbo behind him smiling to every dirty thing he says. Can you just imagine of having that for first lady? For me, listening to him or to his screechy voiced stupid Vice President Sarah...is a punishment. Thank God there's only 5 days left.
I'm more than ready to welcome the new President OBAMA!

thx naacp

"Registration fraud is different than voting fraud". Are you serious?
That's like saying it's not stealing because I put mechandise in my bag but never left the store. Last time I checked, fraud was still illegal-no matter how you slice it.

This just gets funnier and funnier!!!
First JtP doesn't show up, and now it's being reported that McCain had to bus in nearly 4000 school kids to his rally today. Seriously?!?! Did they have permission slips from the parents? So much for his "stance" on education, huh?

i hope that palin and McCain can live with them self when this is all over, GOD dont like ugley.......

when we are finished voting republicans out of office then we can start making certain everyone gets the chance to vote.

This is just another Obama trick to make sure that he has plenty of time to try and get any available vote. Obama and the NAACP are running scared now because they know that Obama is NOT going to make it.

Obama is NOT the right person to bring us out of the mess that Bush got us into. McCain/Palin are the right ones, for they have the talent, skills, knowledge and experience to get it done.

Obama nor Biden have any executive experience so they would still be trying to figure out what the job is about. NO "OJT" PRESIDENT!

NOBAMA 2008

McCain/Palin 2008

Once again the old suppression attempt. Good the NAACP threatened a lawsuit to make the state do the right thing. It should not have to come to that, since everyone claims they want all eligible voters to vote. I can pnly hope on election day there are no significant issues with everyone getting a chance to vote, but this may be wishful thinking. We all remember 2000 and 2004. This election should be better than the otehrs. Makes one wonder how were votes being counted before the 2000 election.

If they hate their half brother so much. Can u imagine if he was 100 % black. He would'nt be nominated as the democratic leader. Hope this will be a fair election.

Will Palin STOP looking forward to her LOSE for the Repubs party in "12" and take the time to get the scope of the LAST 26 yrs. of questionable ACTIONS of Senate McCain FIRST, before she hollow about Obama?????

McCain's speech @ ACORN headquaters ealier this yr praising them for their work…
McCain's involvement with Rashid Khalidi? A republican committee headed by McCain funding projects up to $500,000.00 for the same Rashid Khalidi…
McCains Involvement with G. Gordon Liddy (convicted of fraud), Cindy McCain (fraudently obtained prescription drugs), Charles Keating (convicted of fraud)
McCains Involvement with New world order, radical black people killers, Sudanese extremist (genocide in Dafur)
McCains Involvement with voters fraud through YPM
McCain admitted recently on national TV that he “didn’t know her well at all” before he chose Palin

Obama/Biden 08

Yes, and the NAAWP is filing an injunction to make sure all white voters are not disenfranchised...and race doesn't play into the election-yeah,right.

Conservatives have recently had a strategy of challenging voters in districts that typically vote for Democrats. Light turnouts usually favor Conservative candidates because Conservatives are more likely to vote. Would a county official try to influence an election by putting fewer voting machines in the areas where the opposition is strong?

I think they would. In my home county of El Paso, county officials have been indicted for taking bribes from contractors, fixing bids, etc. An elected official who would do that would probably try to fix an election as well. In another case, people in El Paso County were charged with selling votes. In this case, elderly people asked for absentee ballots by mail, which they sold to a scoundrel who filled them out and mailed them in.

Where corruption is possible, there corruption will be found. Personally, I believe that anyone who tries to rig an election is guilty of treason and should spend quite a few years in the slammer.

Stay on them in VA, NAACP. VA could be the key to it all!

Who would have thought, 40 years or so ago, that we would once again be sporting "BETTER DEAD THAN RED" bumper stickers?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

How is it that we can create all this useless technology(IPODS,IPHONE,BLACKBERRY,CAMERAPHONE,ECT.) But cant come up with a voting machine that works worth beans? HUH? anyone care to answer that one?

I am Black and I am tired of the NAACP they only come around when it is politically good for them. Why don't they rais concerns about graduation rates or the amount of black and hispanic men in prison? Because it doesn't help them politically. I'm over it if the systems don't work it affects everybody not just black people why can't they just come out and for once defend everybody last time I checked white was a color too.

After all the recrimination and divisiveness how do these candidates hope to heal and reunite the country. There are many who are so polarized that they will work against one or the other platform to ensure that they are not successful. Secession anyone?

HEY CARRIBOU BARBIE, WHERES JOE?????? probally at OBAMAS RALLY !!!!!!!!

Oh no! Sarah Palin's picture is on a political article! CNN, stop showing your obvious, sudden, right-wing bia...

ARTICLE: "NAACP stands down over *Virginia*"
CAPTION: "Gov. Sarah Palin campaigned in Fredericksburg, *Virginia* on Monday."

...oh, wait.

Articles in CNN Politics filed under Obama: 3193
Articles in CNN Politics filed under McCain: 2266
But yeah....WHEW! Look at that sudden conservative bias here these past two days!

PS to CNN: I think you made a smart move in being "above" a campaign purchasing your airtime. Perhaps one of the most noteworthy "neutral" decisisions that's been made this past year...

Naacp this! Naacp that! are some of you bloggers afraid we will not get hood winked this time around. Keep hope alive!

Go Obama.

HERE YOU ARE WHY NOT JUST GIVE THIS ELECTION TO OBAMA. THEY WANT THAT WHOLE PIE AND THE PLATE TOO. IT WON'T HAPPEN. GIVE IT UP PEOPLE YOU HAVE AN UNWORTHY CANDIDATE AT THE WRONG TIME IN AMERICA.

I'm just glad this woman left Pennsylvania. STAY AWAY PALIN, we have had enough of you.

I am glad some one is standing to the cheating republicans they stole the election from Al Gore we are not going to let them cheat us the second time as the saying goes fool me shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Not this time Democrats watch for you vote.

Senator McCain you are no hero, you are in fact a terrorist.

Your campaign advisor & "Transition Chief" William Timmons was a Saddam Hussein lobbyist for 5 years.
You pal around with Gordon Liddy, domestic terrorist.
You are a member of "The Project for a New American Century" – a radical extremist terrorist orginization.
Your VP candidate's husband Todd Palin is a domestic terrorist in the Alaskan Independence Party.
You have given $500,000 to Rashid Khalidi & the PLO
, a group that McCain himself says are terrorists.
You have met with Chilean Dictator Pinochet, a terrorist.
You're coordinated effort to use FOX NEWS, the Bush Administration, your campaign, Sarah Palin, and The Justice Department to commit voter fraud, voter intimidation, & voter suppression is an act of terrorism.

John McCain you are a disgrace to your uniform.

They are preparing to go ballistic when John McCain pulls off Virginia! Come on Virginia! Let's shake it up for John McCain! Are'nt you people the patriots like your forefathers?

Maybe it would be better to ban all political parties and have everyone run as independents. Political parties have only kept America divided. I fear the GOP and DEMs will one day destroy each other and take the rest of america with it.

can't wait till its over hope you can put all the hate back in the closet

I think you should pursue it NAACP.....can't leave anything to chance with these theiving Repugnants!

I am glad Obama took money for his campain from the public, everyone wanted to help, he didnt force us or put fear into us!!! Mccain however has done nothing but put fear and hate in his sapporters. Shame on Mccain!!!! Vote Obama

actually your candidate is a joke, look at Joe the fake plummer.

this is a new time, I'm sure cnn will not post this comment as well.

Racist activities! NAACP stood down only because they might anger some Obama supporters. NAACP does not care for truth - only for Black Power. Totally un-American, I say.

Palin has more experience said The NAACP is a joke.

If (and I know it is a good size if) McCain wins the NAACP and O backers will be yelling it is stolen and due to race. That would be wrong, but we see it coming and will just shake our heads and hit the mute.

I'm sure you thought freeing the slaves was a joke as well, actually if you take a good look at your candidates, they are a joke, Mr. no show joe the fake plummer. This is a new time!

(GO OBAMA)

Senator McCain you are no hero, you are a terrorist.

Your campaign advisor was a Saddam Hussein lobbyist for 5 years.
You pal around with Gordon Liddy, domestic terrorist.
You are a member of "The Project for a New American Century" – a radical extremist terrorist orginization.
Your VP candidate's husband Todd Palin is a domestic terrorist in the Alaskan Independence Party.
You have given $500,000 to PLO, a group that McCain himself says are terrorists.
You have met with Chilean Dictator Pinochet, a terrorist.
Your using FOX NEWS, the Bush Administration, The Justice Department to commit voter intimidation & suppression is a act of terrorism.

John McCain you are a disgrace to your uniform

I'm not quite sure what the NAACP has to do with this..

John to Goerge, John to George. They are onto us. They are making sure that those incidents in Florida and Ohio don't happen again.

Another organization we might do without.
What color people do they represent?

What irony?

McCain complains that Obama refused to take Public Funding (which I am to understand is taxpayer money).

So McCain takes taxpayer money to support his campaign (Obama does not) and then McCain calls Obama a socialist!!

Hey Dave,

I'm not sure where you're from, but things get done by the book here buddy. Voter registration fraud is completely different than voter fraud. If there is anyone we need to keep an eye on, it's these latte' sipping right wingers trying to purge registered voters vote.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Since Sarah Palin likes Joe the plumber so much she should appoint him to the senate in place of the disgraced senator.

21st-century and their US can still not guarantee a fair election and a 100% fair vote count.
21st-century and the US citizens still have to worry about election fraud.
The US should stop trying to tell other countries how to run fair elections since they cannot run their own.
This would be a big joke if it wasn't so serious and so sad.

If Obama gets elected there may be more states wishing to secede.

Yes, we must make sure the affirmative action candidate gets all his fraudulent votes counted. Fraudulent votes, biased media and an uneducated populace create the perfect storm for electing a radical marxist. Bye Bye Miss American Pie.

MR. CANADA

Don't be jealous you can take Obama to Canada any time at no cost so you can have a big house.

They'll be back with their lawsuit as soon as McCain wins, which he is going to do despite everything we've been told to believe.

Obama is such an intelligent man that he can sit down with anyone no matter where they are from and have an intelligent conversation. That doesn't mean he agrees with everything they say but by listening to what they have to say he learns pro and cons. That is why he can sit down with any leader from another country and talk. He will make a very good president like we have never had.

We are going to have to watch this election very closely. There has already been some cheating going on in the early voting polls. Basically, this election is going to come down to race and wealth. If you are a racist, you are not going to want a certain candidate even though he has a better plan for you individually. Wealth is going to be the second item on the table. If you are going to vote, vote based on your wealth. If you make over $250,000/ yr. McCain is your man. Under $250,000/ yr., OBAMA/BIDEN. I would also like to know if the Skinheads out of Bells, Tn are actually going to do any jail time for their plan that they were not smart enough to carry out or if they are going to be given a bus ticket to an Obama Rally.

Yeah, why is Gov. Palin's picture on this article. I am glad that Virginia has responded to the NAACP's suit and have allocated the resources for maintaining a fair vote. It appears from other comments in response to this article as well as others that people are having a hard time focusing their responses. Must be getting close to election day. JUST REMEMBER GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!!!!!!!

The NAACP is involved in everything. They should just keep their mouhts shut! They are a big proponent of racism in America. They creat racism! Wonder what they will do about the NAWP?

The more Palin talks, the more vote Obama wins.
Keep talking, Palin

The goal of the NAACP is not to make sure every vote counts but rather to get Obama elected. Period.

To: Not All Fooled...(3:41)

Don't forget marches, riots and protests...

Is there something wrong with John McCain's jaw, it looks like he has a big walnut on the side of his jaw. Maybe it's growing from telling too many lies.

Why do you have a photo of Palin with this article?

Oh, I get it. She was in Virginia once so she knows all there is to know about voting machines...right?

Did you go to her for her "expertise" on this matter? What's up, CNN?

Black progress? Affirmative action, threats of violence, sit-ins, and of course litigation! Just cannot evolve any other way, can ya?

Believe me Obama will win in Va Count of it. I have visited many or most parts of the state and this is definitely a sure thing go Obama

The tension "mounts" as the election draws near...looks like a "restless hen house" when it comes to counting the chickens...and everyone wants to make sure that the "weasels who said good morning to the chickens before dinner" are no where around come Tuesday.

I think republicans are selfish.... Vote the bums out of office...NO MORE REPUBLICANS... EXCEPT Senator Hagel.

I've said it before: That PICTURE of her! C'mon kids! "row, row, row your campaign right down the drain!" Back to Alaska with her simple self!

Don't let the GOP steal my vote!!

The Sarah fans complain about unfair coverage, but if Biden's wife belonged to a group that wanted to separate Alaska from the United States, it would the main talking point on Fox and Rush.
Sister Sarah (in the movie) went to Cuba for dinner, and our Sister Sarah could see Russia from her window.
Both were bad experiences, but Palin will be remembered as the McCain failure of choice.

Please vote for four more years of job losses, home foreclosures, wars, divisiveness, lies, inflation, and no healthcare. I mean really 8 years was not enough. Thank you republicans for making america so great.

NOT...

Anyone who supported The last eight years of policies should not be allowed to run for president and should be kicked out the senate. Namely John McCain.

Did the NAACP file a lawsuit over ACORN's tampering?

VA CHEATING? CAN YOU SAY ACORN. THATS BESIDE THE POINT. WHY IS IT OBAMA IS ALWAYS LINKEDTO HAVE SOME SORT OF FELLOWSHIP WITH ANTI-AMERICAN PEOPLE AND TERRORIST? WETHER THEY BE FORMER FRIENDS, PASTORS, NEIGHBORS, OR FELLOW WORKERS. (((( VA WILL GO MCCAIN!!! ))) LOOK AT THE WILDER GOV. ELECTION DONKEY POLLING HAD HIM AT 12% PRE ELECTION AND HE ONLY WON BY 1%.. EVEN BILL LOOKED SICK AS HE WAS FORCED TO BE BY OBAMA'S SIDE LAST NIGHT IN FLORIDA..((( MCCAIN PALIN 2008)))

To "My Vote!" who said

"Voting is very personal."

Yeah, but posting about here is not. If you've "done your research" and are "comfortable with your findings" regarding Bush, then you either (a) failed to do adequate research and are still uninformed/misinformed or (b) are too dumb to know what you found. And sorry, but that 23% you say still support Bush you quoted sounds awfully similar to the 23% of the Texas population that still thinks Obama is a muslim.

Too many folks have tried to discredit Obama; people are smarter than the media give them credit. That gentlemen that you had on your show was lying and anyone who was watching know that he was lying, because when you asked him to name other persons that Obama has hung around with, he couldn’t. This confirms the desperation that the McCain campamng will go to discredit Obama. This does not make McCain trustworthiness look strong.

Laughable. Presidential elections are every 4 years. This is hardly new news. How could you not be prepared for it knowing that already?

THE ONLY WAY MCCAIN CAN WIN THIS ELECTION IS BY STEALING IT , HE CANT WIN HONESTLY BECAUSE HE HAS NOTHING AND HE IS DISHONEST . MOST OF THE THINGS HE HAS SAID ABOUT OBAMA ARE LIES ,HIS WHOLE CAMPAIGE IS BASE ON LIES IT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT SUPPORT HIM, AND THAT NOBODY CAN TRUST HIM TO DO RIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE HE WILL TRULY BE JUST ANOTHER BUSH (((YES OBAMA WILL WIN)) !!!

YEA, WHY IS SARA PALIN UGLY FACE ON THIS STORY?

I hope the Republicans are not allowed to perform voter fraud this November. If McCain wins you will know cheating was involved.

Thank you NAACP!!!

I'm glad they're standing down for right now. The last thing we need is to have lawsuits before the election.. It's too distracting. People need to focus on voting. Not what who may get sued.

No third (3rd) Term for McBush!!!!

Dear Still For Hill,

Barack did exactly what he should have done. Why take 85 million for the entire campaign, when you can raise much much more in one month? It doesn't make sense. He took the money and did exactly what we wanted him to do, spend it on his campaign. We are proud that our money was not waisted, but well spent.

Don't hate, celebrate.

Too bad John couldn't have been as wise with his campaign. He's rich because of his wife, and he's inept because he's never been challenged in an election, except the one he lost Karl Rove.

Obama/Biden 08

Cheaters never win, unless... it's the republicans. Our democracy is a joke. If the ATM can give people a receipt, why can't our voting machines?

This is probably a wise decision, although the third-world way we as a nation tend to handle our elections is honestly appalling. Save it for making sure the votes are counted – every vote, every race, every party.

I hope and pray that this election comes off smoothly! It will be a record turn-out–already is since so many are voting early! I wish we could in MN.

Go Obama/Biden '08

Another Acorn state. It is about race. By the way commonwealth, do you feel good about selling out this country for a promised $ 500.00? When jobs are lost due to tax increases, prices on goods go up, small companies disapear etc. , who is going to foot the bill for you no job lazy breeders?

So will Sarah Palin's daughter give birth to that kid next month? Or will the baby somehow vanish? To me Palin's daughter look more like someone who had given birth under unfortunate conditions and who had not been given time to recuperate. She does not look pregnant. But will's see.

No, America is not stupid.
Instructions for viewing the real America: Put down the mirror.

Does anyone else think Clinton was a little self-serving last night?

I think I would like to say "thanks, but no thanks". Barack doesn't need their help. He can do just fine.

Obama/Biden 08

No, America is not stupid.
Instructions for viewing the real America: Put down the mirrow.

In the past few elections there have been significant "irregularities" aimed at specific neighborhoods and political loyalties. This time around, in addition to watching what the states are doing at the administrative level, legally, there are significant numbers of volunteers with cameras and cell phones, watching for further shenanigans.

While the discussion of who is or isn't patriotic or "completely American" has gone on for months, if you are one of the people trying to prevent others from voting, it is about the most un-American thing you can do. I am hopeful that you will be caught, tried, and put in jail.

@My Vote! Here, here. I am a proud Obama supporter and not a fan of President Bush, but would love to see people who are comfortable, like yourself, not reduce our elections to name calling etc. The problem is, it goes this is not just Democrats ranting (go to FoxNews and see Republicans rant) and it comes from the candidates themselves. Until we take the "labels" off the candidates (D or R), we will have an electorate that defends their turf because his/her candidate does have a D or R. Most people don't know the facts about their own candidates and the only way to do that, is have them actually talk the talk instead of having us do the research.

We are not a civilized nation. We are the laughing stock of follow the leader!

To "Is America Stupid?"

First, yes...yes it is. For example, a recent poll just found that 23% of Texans are still convinced Obama is a Muslim. We don't need a poll to know that's 100% wrong. Second, perhaps if the evidence did not support the accusation that republicans frequently engage in voter suppression tactics, you'd have a leg to stand on with your argument, but facts dictate a different conclusion. Third, in light of the above, that really leaves you holding the dirty laundry when it comes to people claiming unfairness...you know, seeing as how your candidates think it is "unfair" for the news to report negative truths about McCain or ask Palin questions she should be able to answer if she's going to be a VP.

Don't get excited Dems. Prepare to take longer than usual on election day because the lines will be longer. Barack is worth the wait because he will make a difference.

Obama/Biden 08

McCain's speech @ ACORN headquaters ealier this yr praising them for their work…

There's more to come....stay tunned

excellent ! now let's get's this done !

obama 08

No America is not stupid. We just refuse to be duped again, as we were in 2000.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama lied about taking public finance. He lied about where his money is coming from and even CNN has reported that 3/4 of his money is not coming from the small donors. Follow the money... It went straight from Bush to Obama.

I don't expect McCain to win at this point. Obviously, the geniuses that voted for Bush have swung the other way.

I voted for Gore, and then Kerry. Now I'll vote for McCain.

And I'm really ashamed that people on these blogs would degrade someone who spent 5 years in a POW camp for the people of this country.

The Jews of this country better find an exit strategy quick.

McCain is trying to rig the election using his wife millions. I'm sure it won't hurt her pocket at all

CNN,
I am so diappointed in your coverage this past week. I don't understand why Palin's picture is connected with this topic; also, I don't understand why we had to watch McSame for a full hour last night with Larry King and we couldn't watch Obama's 30 minute informercial. Is that "keeping them honest"???

Obama/Biden '08

Joe won't show up for pre-planned meetings, he’s afraid he'll get arrested for back taxes, he can only do surprise appearances. 4 more days and Palin will become a distant memory and no I am not ready for a 4 year nightmare. The old soldier will fade away in Arizona.

Palin palled around with a felon (stevens). Hey palin, you want to explain those illegal charges to pay for your klids travel and hotels? Did you learn that 'maverick' move from stevens or vice versa huh?

The same thing was tried in 200 in Missouri and Bush still won the election.

Uh Ran... Check your facts

Support" is one way to put it. "Said I would opt into" is another. Asked last September on a questionnaire from the Midwest Democracy Network whether he would "participate in the presidential public financing system" if his "major opponents agree to forgo private funding in the general election campaign," Obama checked the box marked "yes," then outlined his vision for the 2008 contest. "In February 2007, I proposed a novel way to preserve the strength of the public financing system in the 2008 election," he wrote. "My plan requires both major party candidates to agree on a fundraising truce, return excess money from donors, and stay within the public financing system for the general election... If I am the Democratic nominee, I will aggressively pursue an agreement with the Republican nominee to preserve a publicly financed general election."

He is a liar... putting it on paper is clear. that is what he did.. He is a liar.

we are watching this election.

OBAMA/BIDEN08

THE WORLD IS WATCHING.

NAACP and Gov palin...? Cnn pls correct this picture. Palin has never supported and not willing to support NAACP...Pls take the picture off.
Thanks

If Obama gets in WE WILL ALL BE BLUE.

VOTE FOR SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST – VOTE MCCAIN

I'm wearing my Obama blue on Tuesday and I can't wait to celebrate. If McCain wins, I'll be sad, but life will have to go on.

I'm so sick of the Republican robocalls here in Virginia. My whole family's already voted for Obama three weeks ago.

LEAVE US ALONE !!!

Obama/Biden '08

The republican party's new face~ Palin/Joe the Plummer 2012 is revolting the centerist portion of the party. Notice how many have taken positions distanting themselves from Palin? McCain should try to salvage his soul so that he can live out the rest of his life in his 7 homes, all of which may be in blue states, except of course if he owns one in Alaska. As Marxist history goes, civilization goes from primal communism ( hunting, gathering) to barbarism, to slavery to feudalism to socialism tand back to communism, which is a philosphy, wherein, the means of production is owned by the state and when people have evolved out of the greed and corruption mood. Palin PLEASE go back to Alaska but Please give up hunting. WOrk to save your own soul by protecting the Polar bear and the wolf. Asof now, we don't know where Joe is.

Sarah is the biggest joke. But I'll say one thing. The next time we will be looking out for stealth VPs that have not been vetted. I'm so proud of all Americans, both Republicans and Democrats. They decided Sarah was a gimmick, which she is, and they said "Thanks, but no thanks".

Obama/Biden 08

That is what the Democrats must think. Everytime they lose- there must be some right wing conspiracy, or it must be racism. Is this the party you want in power America?
Don't vote for Ovomit.

Why is Palin's picture here...she has nothing to do with the NAACP....

another GOP fraud

Why does this have a picture of Palin?????
Anyway, why is JOhn McCain allowing the plumber guy to campaign for him when it's been proven he's a tax cheat and a liar and has no knowledge of the issues?????? He is just another dangerous man (listen to his Israel comments) out to help the republicans spread their lies and hate.
I thought CNN had more dignity than to give so much press to this man and his words....words that are very dangerous and could cause serious consequences.

Why is Sarah Palin's pictue on this article?

Why is Palin's picture in this article? She is hardly a representative for the NAACP.

Interesting article.

But I don't know why you had to ruin it by having a picture of Pailn with the article. Come to think of it why did you have a picture of Palin next to the article? The artilce was about the NAACP lawsuit regarding Virginia voting preparations. No mention of Palin in the story.

It seems you guys like to post pictures of Palin everywhere even when she has nothing to do with the content of the artilce or story. What gives? A litte free publicity perhaps for the moose lady?

Folks please dont mess this up for Obama, Virginians are already with him OK. Let me go get me some red wine and chicken wings with hot sauce ready for tuesday night victory celebration .

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008.

In response to "Palin has more experience than Obama"... it is not a joke when there the election system is set up to favor only certain socio-economic groups. This is not what democracy stands for and is truly ANTI-AMERICAN. You, my friend, are a total idiot!

Obama has won

The same way hillary beat obama in ohio and California

Early voting favors Obama. McCain will climb in some polls and still loose the race because of the early voting magin / deficit he will have to make up.

Obama Biden have won, and it will be anounce early this year.

Shays was right about McCain running a dirty camp. The american people will send McCain again back to the senate.

John looses again! lol

I am so sick and tired of Obama supporters stating "that McCain supporters need to do their research..." or instructing us about our own personal state of wealth.

Perhaps, some of us actually like Bush (yes, we fall within that 23%), which is still a large number nationally.

Perhaps, we respect John McCain and feel safe with him in the White House!

Perhaps, we are comfortable financially and our lives are stable.

Perhaps, we HAVE done our research, and we are comfortable with our findings.

Perhaps, I am educated, have a degree and am employed.

Note, I say NOTHING negative about Obama, though PLEASE don't insult me by telling me how to do research or how to vote.

Voting is VERY personal.

To EVERYONE VOTING between now and the evening of November 4

GET TO THE Polling place well in advance of closing time. If you're still in line at closing time, you get to vote but no one else can come in after closing time

TAKE YOUR TIME in bubbling in your circles, tapping the screens, or punching the cards, whichever you state uses. DON'T give your election board any reason to call foul.

DON'T LET your state come to a tie vote!!!!! Don't give the repuplican party any hint of an idea of an upper hand.

WATCH ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT for Palin's interview with Mary Hart...if Mary Hart can have her for lunch the way Couric and Gibson did, then I think that will pretty much say everything that needs to be said

VOTE
VOTE TRUE
TO ME AND YOU
VOTE BLUE

Change Virginia blue and toss the reds out.
Obama can synchronize the split-second shift from national programming to a live rally in Florida and hit the mark within a second. McCain can't get a loser unlicensed tax-dodger to a rally. There you have it, America.

Florida 2000
Ohio 2004
It had better not be Virginia or Pennsylvania 2008

Watch like a hawk – if this one get stolen by the repubs, there will be trouble all over the country. Too many people are too angry already.

I voted early to be sure my vote counts for Obama/Biden

Wish all people in all states had the same opportunity.

CNN, why would you show Palin photo with this story? The NAACP does not support racists hate mongers.

Why are we talking about ANYTHING other than Obama's 30 minute infomercial? Obama presents a sincere, intelligent and practical solution to the problems that we face. PLEASE watch it tonight, with your family. Then turn to the people you love. Turn to your children and your spouse and tell them one good reason why you are not going to vote for this man. I dare you.

This joe the plumber gimick is getting old. From the looks of things, maybe he needs a 150,000 wardrobe upgrade as well. I guess when one is desperate, sling as much mud as possible as see what sticks. McCain, you are a disgrace!!

Only smart people vote OBAMA, only dumbs and stupids people vote mccainpalin

Why is Sarah Palin's picture in this article?

Great to finally get this straighten out.............................More machines mean more voter access. Thank you Gov. Kaine for making sure your state has all the necessary tools for Election day.

P.S. NAACP keep vigilant so states are held accountable. VA is doing it right but bringing the lawsuit hightlight potential problems other states may be facing.

Is anyone else wondering why they have a picture of Palin when they are talking about the NAACP and she is not even mentioned in the article??

hey Commonwealth- there will be cheating and fraud in almost every state. Don't be naieve.

Sarah Palin Please go away and take Mac Daddy Mcshame McCain with you and don't come back na ya hear. Hee Haw!!!!

Obama 08'...................................................................

Just as long as eveyone gets to vote, that is the main thing...no one should be deprived of their right to vote at all.
We just want all the voters to vote and EVERY vote to count, this election is far too important this time.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

The lawsuit is on hold because it's ridiculous. When are people going to get tired of everyone crying to the federal government? The state's in the Union should be able to handle this. The fed's constantly overstep their bounds too much as it is.

McCain has been brought up on charges and so has his running mate. Of all the things they have accused Obama of, he haS NEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP ON ETHICAL CHARGES!

Virginia is a done deal for Obama/Biden no doubt about that

McCain/Palin foreign policy at work.

Thousands in Syrian capital protest U.S. cross-border strike!

Great news for Virgina and wise decision by the NAACP.

lets go BLUE VIRGINIA VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

The Financial Times and now The Economist have both endorsed Obama for the presidency. Why is it none of the Main Stream Media outlets have covered this while allowing McShame and Failin to keep up their attack about Barack being a socialist. Clearly the top economic magazines in this country understand that that is simply not true and that Obama has the right plan to lead us into a more prosperous future. Please CNN start doing your job and call out McCain when he is clearly lying.

I still don't trust McCain. That's the only way Republicans can win is cheat! They will do anything to stay in power!

People we need to vote in such #'s that there can be no doubt that Obama/Biden has won and so this election is not decided by a Republican leaning Supreme Court.

Also, Obama did not lie about taking public finance. He said he would consider it. How many of us have told our children we would consider something and then not allow them to do it. So people like Campbell Brown and McCain stop telling lies about this and tell the truth.

In every state, every registered voter has the right to cast a vote, and each vote must be counted. Period.

Obama/Biden '08

I think Americans were better educated this election time around as to the SHADY-POLITICS that have plagued us in the past and Thank God for Obama and his campaign for putting it out there early so that voters from both sides would be aware of all the tactics that come with elections.

Why is Palin's picture on this article? Does she have something to do with NAACP? Over the past few weeks, CNN as been steadily moving to the right. Not buying the "no bias, no bull". I used to be able to rely on CNN for unbiased reporting – between MSNBC and FOX – so am very concerned about the conservative swing here...

Keep em fair and honest.

The NAACP is a joke.

If (and I know it is a good size if) McCain wins the NAACP and O backers will be yelling it is stolen and due to race. That would be wrong, but we see it coming and will just shake our heads and hit the mute.

Virginians , We Need You To Come Out In Droves..... Bring your Momma, Daddy, Cousins Pooky & Ray Ray, Uncle Jon Boy, Paw Paw, Big Momma, Auntie Alice, Brothers & Sisters, Neighbors & Friends, Enemies.....You Get Picture

Vote Obama/Biden Vote Obama/Biden Vote Obama/Biden

Vote Obama/Biden Vote Obama/Biden Vote Obama/Biden

Barack Your Vote08!!

We in Canada will be jealous of you guys in America when Obama becomes president. Very soon you will all have have high paying jobs and low taxes , huge houses , free health care and better education . And nothing ever to complain about again .

STILL NEED TO EXTEND VOTING FOR TWO HOURS!!

Just count all of the Votes Im so afraid Mccain is gonna steal this Election! it gives me Anixety Attacks thinking about it!

Hmmm... a RED state getting ready to go BLUE is having voting problems.... Hmmm.... wonder if the current RED leadership is getting scared.

Virginia the new Florida

LOL

Obama must be in the lead.

Other wise that Junction would have been slapped in to insure, That there was extra time to make it happen if he was not.

Wake up America.

Shows Exactly how they use and Abuse The system to get what they want. Not that it is happening.

Is it legal to leak out Election totals early?

God forbid cheating in VA. ACORN was still TROLLING door to door just this week. Isn't it too late to register? Hmmm, the NAACP needs to think before they cast the first stone.

The only thing that matters is everyone gets to vote and have that vote counted.

Good they are paying attention to the needs of the voters and also making sure that everyone cast their vote for Obama.

Get out and VOTE! Don't take it for granted!
OBAMA/BIDEN

So why is stupid Palin's picture attached to this story? What's it got to do with her?

Even though it hasn't been a fair contest ($150 million last month???!), I prefer Obama to McCain (slightly) but not enough that I'll stand in line for 3 hours.

Dear bloggers – I "borrowed" this from another commenter – great thought from a great leader:

"Corporations have been enthroned …. An era of corruption in high places will follow and the money power will endeavor to prolong its reign by working on the prejudices of the people… until wealth is aggregated in a few hands … and the Republic is destroyed."

- Abraham Lincoln

That's right, don't let the Republican scoundrels get away with stealing this election. You know they're not to be trusted......

Obama/Biden 08

Boy! These absurd voting problems in a country that claims to be morally superior and technically more advanced than the rest of the world????
PLEASE MAKE SURE THE GOP DOES NOT PREVENT PEOPLE FROM VOTING. The situation STINKS!
I hope both parties are properly represented to SCRUTINIZE the counts!!!

Must have been told their candidate is ahead in the early absentee balloting.

Well, in a way, you can't blame the NAACP considering all the problems that came up in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Great NAACP now go all over the USA not just Virginia, go to GEORGIA, FLORIDA, OHIO, NC, ETC.............................

This is one elction that Rove and the punks at the RNC aren't going to steal! And you can take that to the bailed-out bank!

Good!

Now vote, and stand in line for as long at it takes. Barack has proven himself to the American people, now it is up to us.

Obama 08!

Good, maybe we can actually have a fair election there. Get out and Barack the Vote America!!

Obama/Biden '08

Good job NAACP because we all remember Florida. It's amazing how the voting machines are own by Republicans in some states.. So guess who knows the machines better than the owners... Just a thought!

People let's get out and vote. We have a chance to make a change.

Karen.

Every American has the right to vote ..... no vote shall be surppressed and all votes must be counted..... please NAACP ensure this happen!

You know guys, expect HUGE numbers on election day...I mean BIG!

Don't be surprised if it takes the whole night AND morning to get every vote counted.

I haven't been this exciting since the Cubs lost in the postseason...

Hold on guys, better make sure some of the boys ain't here who are Cubs fans, LOL!!

They actually plan to have security and police at the polling stations in Virginia. There will be no cheating going on here in the Commonwealth.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

It doesn't make a difference as long as the votes get counted and everyone who is eligible to vote does. Virginia will be BLUE.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08
