CNN

[...] is that I'm not the only one who might not get to cast their vote this election. Already, the voter supression has begun.  I spoke with a friend yesterday who was told that his NY voter registration [...]

I registered my sister and her father in law through the internet in the beginning of September, they have never received their voter information. Why?

When I hear " I've been tested" by Senator Macain – what comes to my mind is
that NOBODY WHO HAS NOT BEEN A PRESIDENT BEFORE HAS BEEN TESTED AS AS PRESIDENT.

OBAMA AND MACAIN HAVE BEEN TESTED IN DIFFERENT SERVICE AREAS OF THIS COUNTRY. NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN TESTED AS A PRESIDENT, period.

America might be the greatest nation in the world, but the worst and last in – Voting procedures, campaighn smears
– Health Care
– Racism
– border security
– environmental issues
– and others

According to the annual un reports, the usa is way down beeing the best country in the world to live in.

The top countries are: Sweden, Canada, Danmark, Australia and so forth.

Only Back Onama will bring America back to the top nations.

Obama / Biden 08

VOTE OBAMA
Don't you really want four more years of republican spending and war.

It is absolutely shameful the USA cannot get its act together especially in the last few elections. Too many voter suppression intentionally, or unintentionally. Folks have bled and died to give voting rights to every citizen and some are doing everything possible to deny people, minority people. We have no bussiness trying to democratise the world until minority folks in Florida, Ohio and throughout the USA can freely exerxise their voting franchise.

Don't let up! Fight with all your might. Vote! Vote! Vote! It's your right.

To KG who wrote:"OBAMA is playing everyone for fools and he may just get away with it. As I always told my kids when they would hurt themselves doing something stupid." YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF"."

If you KG have voted for bush in 04,than i guess you already told yourself the same thing you told your kids.
GOOD JOB. I guess you missed that one or i guess you say one thing and you do another thing. typical.

My God(oh by the way,let me tell you there isn't one)you would think a country that is supposed to be so far and above most of the world when it comes to advancing the imperialistic institution of Democracy,
would have figured out a honest,nation wide formula for non-fraudulent elections.......go figure.

Why is there always problems with voting in Florida? Why don't the governors, such as Jeb Bush, and Charlie Christ, ever accept personal responsibility for the blunders that always happen there?

Sarah Palin has me proud of my country for the first time in my adult life!

I believe this nation could use some international elections observers. I have a strange feeling this election will be stolen by the Republicians. What!!!

Sounds suspicious ... is this how mCCain is going to save his titanic from going down? Vote against Bish lite, vote for change!

It was had to find a place on cnn to comment even though the network avertises it. This election is the strangest on ever, ie early voting,celeberties all for Obama ect. there was a Senator Gary Hart caught on a boat with a girl which destroyed his run for President. I find it interesting with Obama s personel ties with reverands,terriest,and other groups are different than just an affair.It tickles me to see Joe Biden with a gag order on him and Palin being attacked on minor things. The public still wants to know about the charector and ties mr Obama has. The public wants to clearfy where his money came from?Are there overseas campaigns. A soccer mom has to produce a legal birthcertificate,its strange running for the most powerful office in the wworld you dont half to. Normally the media is all into alot of peoples business,like Joe the Plumber. This is another difference in this election that is strange. I think we forget alot of money was spent on the War producing a budget problem. It was as necessary as the money that went to ground 0 in New York. Well now that the gag order is on Rev. Wright, Joe Biden,a few terrorist,campaign contributions,the women with information on Obama being born in Kenya,the media,and several other items makes this a strange election. I guess alot of people get on the band wagon to stack the deck. The outcome is getting clear. When the movie stars,big and small business gets there taxes we might see a change of heart.

Ballot problems is a bipartisan problem. Why is it that even after the 2000 Florida debacle we cannot figure out how to get the ballots right?

We need a fair clean election with a fair clean win for Obama.

Year after year this is a problem.. why on why aren't people doing more to fix these problems! We are suppose to one of the greatest countries and most advanced and this all seem so basic, especially after the stupid hanging chad fiasco.. I hope there are few problems this election.

Makes me sick to my stomach to know there could be a repeat of stolen elections... this is getting ridiculous....and you wonder why people say their vote doesnt count

Annalisa,

Have you checked on what's called an Emergency Backup Ballot. They can be printed from the Internet (check google) and faxed. The only requirement is that you have requested one by mail already, and you have from the sound of your post. You are still supposed to mail the actual ballot out regardless. Hope this helps!!

Same here. I applied for an absentee ballot. The first time they said I didn't do it correctly so they sent me another application. I sent the new application in; I never got the absentee ballot. Hopefully, they just never sent it out so I can just go vote in my hometown but I will be extremely upset if they refuse to let me vote as this would have been my first election.

I think there should be close monetoring of these election incase of rigging in favour of the republican.

This is an example of how the repugliCONs rig the votes to get thier guy elected.
You wondering why McCain is being so smug about a "comeback" on election night? It's because the repugliCON Secy. of States taround the country (Including CO) old him "not to worry, everythings under control".
That's how Bush did it in 2000 (FL) & 2004 (OH) and that's how McCain and the RNC are planning to do it in 2008.

Get out and vote for Obama/Biden – Don't let the necons steal a third one!

IT'S TIME FOR EVERY AMERICAN TO HAVE A CHANCE AT THE AMERICAN DREAM, NOT JUST THE CEOS ON WALL STREET. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

People see through McCain and Palin. They won't be manipulated again. I don't know how the polls are so close. I just hope they are not saying it is close so that they can steal it again.

First off for a person voting absentee, he or she is required too call voter registration office and request an absentee ballot. At which time you will be sent a form that required giving S.S. #, man, address, reason for voting absentee. There is also information about criminal charges which can be implemented for perjury in connection with fraudulent information.

Step two the VOTING RGISTRAION OFFICE will the send a ballot to the address on initial letter requesting an absentee ballot. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR TIME LINES, AND HONEST DISCLOSURE SO ALL CORSES OF COMMUNICATION ARE TO BE KEPT.

I cannot believe in this day and age our country still has issues with absentee ballots.
How on earth will all the deceased registered voters be able to cast their votes????
Or the people who registered 10 plus times with ACORN be able to cast all theirs?

1600+ dead people in Florida have registered to vote for Obama so no need to worry.

Technically, these voters would be waiting 'for' their ballots, not 'on' their ballots.

someone tell me how Mcain could have been tested when he has never been president.

If this is a close election people will be screaming from both sides over voting problems. It may get real ugly in America if that happens this year.

FROM CANADA HEY YOU USA NEIGHBOURS IF YOU DO NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA PLEASE SEND HIM UP TO CANADA WE COULD USE SURE USE A MAN LIKE HIM TO BE OUR PRIME MINISTER

Ohoh, it's time to check out the registrar of voters office to check out party affilliations. Whatever the problem is, FIX IT!!

My girlfriend has been trying to vote from colorado for 2 months now and 3 times they said they've sent out the ballot and it has not been received. when i call them, they tell us the same thing over and over and there are no results. What the hell is wrong with this country when they can't mail a ballot to NYC!!!!!

John McCain is tied to Rashid Kahlidi who Sarah Palin claims is a spokesperson for the PLO. She should have checked with John McCain to find out John was responsible for at least a half million dollars going to Rashid.

CNN-

Where is the NYT/CBS poll that says 59% of voters think Palin is unqualified?????

You know what the next thing Barack should do with his campaign money? Buy his supporters plane tickets!

GET OUT THE VOTE!

Obama/Biden '08.

CBS' latest poll has Obama up by 13 points as of Thursday evening. But don't let up. Let's shoot for a tamper-proof 15% margin nationwide. And then work with the folks on the other side of the aisle regardless of any junk said during the campaign.

One Person, One Vote

Amnesty before Voting Privilege

Let me guess, Chawnte is a registered democrat?

Obama does not looked worried at all,is it because he knows how the FIX in ,and so far the media has kept it a non-issue.Obama's Acorn has already done their dirty work and it WILL come out,but proved to late,just like JFK and the Mafia.The only hope is that ALL Republicans VOTE!!!

The truth will be revealed. McCain all the way!!!

CNN I am concerned about what I will do with myself after the election is over. It's starting to feel like a bad break-up about to happen. Should I expect an elecion hang-over after all of these months? Perhaps you could run a story by Campbell Brown on the different ways to deal wih the end of the campaign. Including pointers on how to rationally deal with a lose by the candidate you have supported for 20+ months.

Nothing to worry about Ian? I'm worried!

I applied for my absentee ballot two months ago, and received it today! I live in Australia, but registered to vote in, yep, Colorado!

The fastest I can mail it would be to get there on Wednesday, one day too late.

Now all I can do is cross my fingers and hope for the best – I'm frustraited and disappointed with it!!!!!

Annalisa

KG - You voted for Bush it is you who is the fool.

SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAID HE WILL NOT RAISE TAXESFOR THE LOWER PEPOLE, IF TIS IS RIGTH WHO WILL HE WILL GET US OUT FROM BAD ECOMONY AND HOE WILL PAID FOR THE MDICARE FOR THE LOWER PEPOLE ALSO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BILL TO GIVE ALL THE UDUCUMENTD OR ILIGALS TO BCOME LEGAL RESIDENTS AND THE FAMILY REUNIFICATION

McCain is too old to be president! It is a valid issue and should be taken more seriously without stupid cries of ageism!!

What makes this issue worse is the fact that his running mate is a complete joke! The republican party have said they dont know what position she would get if they lose the election..... surely she would be made leader of the party if they trust her to be president of the united states?

she was thrown in to win hilary supporters and to stir the conservative base! no other reason... scary! I for one dont want my kids paying the price for a 3rd bad decision in a row!

How sad this is when a country as advanced as ours still has problems with voters and their ballots. This woman should be allowed to vote for her choice no matter what. I would file a lawsuit against the county for negligence if they didn't allow it.

Meh, its early voting to catch these type of situations. Its not too big a deal. But remember, we all still have work to do and get out to vote. Don't get complacent, power never concedes without a fight, but its a fight we have to win.

Vote Obama/Biden '08, say no to McSame and Failin!

Get out the Vote for Obama. Republicans, please vote for Obama and take your party back to sanity next time.

I wonder how many registrations Acorn has recently submitted with Joe the plumber registered as a democrat.

How can Mccain win this,the media knows this race is over,i just went back in looked at the demographics for 2004,Bush beat Kerry by 18pts with the white vote,Bush also got 45% of the latino vote,Bush also got 11% of the black vote,in 4 years ago the minority vote was 23% of the vote,in Bush just really squeaked by by only 2,5%,now look at this election,Mccain is only beating Obama by 6% with the white vote,Mccain is only getting 25% of the latino vote,Mccain is only getting 2% of the black vote,and the minority vote will be 28% this election,which means Mccain do not have a prayer of winning this election,Mccain will have to beat Obama by 23% with the white vote,but right now as of today its not even close,people this race is over,by my projection because of the demographics Obama should win this by 10% in that is being kind,the Republicans will not be able to steal this election because the vote will be so big for Obama,it will be impossible for them to do it without the media noticing it.

VOTE. . . . . .

OR ELSE. . . . .(heh)

KG, don't worry about being played for a fool, if you are supporting McCain and Palin, you already a fool.

Obama/Biden 08

EVERYBODY NEEDS TO SUBMIT ANY VOTING PROBLEMS TO THE CNN PROBLEM LINE.

DO NOT LET THE REPUBORG CHEAT AGAIN!!!

the republicans, mcbush, papa smurff( mccain) and palin , rove, limbaugh hennety are hard at work

watch CNN they already gave the election to papa smurf, even so all the polls say that Obama leads

so now CNN is really out there working for the republicans
since they can not scare us with other tactics

CNN is doing their job.

In states like Colorado where the race is a few percentage points difference, the Republican Church Party will make sure the election is fixed. Their corruption is their strength.

Military members may or may not get there absentee ballots on time..... depending on where they are stationed.
Outside the US...maybe not at all

Every other western democracy can run a fair, fraud proof election...what is wrong with America...to fear in a "democracy" that your vote may not count , machines may not work, lack of a paper trail, partisan control,that long lines will turn away voters and that there will be intimidation, voters illegally striken from the registration lists and votes not counted shatters the whole premise behind democracy!!

And yet America likes to proclaim it's the "greatest" deomcracy on earth!!

Why are these people not ready? They have known about this election for months. This is so ridiculus. We need to come up with a better system. We may need some quality control from the Federal level. Some of the states act like they can't handle it.

So now Bill Ayers' is dedicating books to RFK killer Sirhan Sirhan?
I saw it for myself.

Bring on my ballot!

Nobama and no to his Creepy Friends!

Happily, I already voted, for Obama.

This is exactly why our voting system is a joke! People who have a right to vote should be able to vote wherever they are in the nation. If I'm traveling in a different state, I should be able to vote in that state. Screw the politics in politics! I'm a U.S. citizen and I have a right to vote!

Americans - If you google “if the world could vote” you will find a site that allows people from all over the world cast their “vote” for the next president of the United States of America.

Out of almost 600000 people 86.8% voted for Obama.
Harvard Business School and the Institute for Innovation and Improvement … (just to name a few) agree that a very effective means of solving problems is to use the “fresh eyes” approach.

Sometimes we don’t see the forest when we are in the trees.

KG October 30th, 2008 9:17 pm ET

OBAMA is playing everyone for fools and he may just get away with it. As I always told my kids when they would hurt themselves doing something stupid." YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF"
-------------------------------

No, "my friend", you have it backwards. MCCAIN is TRYING to play everyone for fools and he will NOT get away with it. It doesn't matter what the polls show now, the early voting in most states has already put McCain into the ground and everything else is just academic. How is your financial life right now? I know you would lie on this blog but you and I both know you are hurting at the pump and grocery store but you're too ignorant to remember it.

Everyone who can vote, should. If you have the option to vote early, do so. If someone challenges your right to vote, defend it. – And then be sure to double-check your how your vote is recorded. This election is important; don't let it be decided by error, ignorance, or intimidation.

Well...if you want to vote that badly, then why the heck are you in the Bahamas? I don't think it really makes sense if I could vote for the California election if I was in Canada, for example...

I am from Colorado and I am out of state at college. I requested an absentee ballot and I never got one. My brother is the same way. My mom had to go pick one up and is bringing it to me tom and then taking it back for me.

Like the absentee ballots of overseas military members that democrats are trying to block because they know they're most likely votes for republicans (you know, the military members that risk their lives to give them their freedom) and at the same time pushing to get felons to vote because they will likely vote democrat (looking for a handout). Isn't that weird? It's almost like democrats are criminals without any morals....just like the people that vote for them. Doesn't it say something when all terrorists and criminals are pulling for your candidate (obama) to win? Hmmm.

Desperation brings out the worst in some parties.......... they stole an election in 2004. I'm pretty darned sure they will try again. They have to be WATCHED at every bend in the road.

Smoke screen and lies don't cover up dirty doings.... what is done in the dark will come to the light! This time I hope they pay the price of trying to keep people from the polls and destroying their votes.

ACORN is no concern.... voter registration fraud is nothing like VOTER fraud. The repubs have done the latter... and we know it!

lol check mccains house. get back to me when you can he has alot of them

"joe the sore & desperate looser"

This is the same garbage that happens every few years. We need uniform standards (i.e. federal standards) that apply to everyone. Regulations are applied equally to everyone and the position elevated to either a cabinet position with congressional oversight. There is too much monkeying around with ballots and purging of records right around voting time.

McCain should be very worried but he is not. Do his friends at Diebold (the company whomakes the machines) have a suprise for us? I pray not but it seems like the only way he could win

VOTE BLUE, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

This sounds so strangely familiar to me. I'm active duty military stationed in Virginia, but I'm registered to vote absentee in Michigan. I've been calling the county clerk's office, the city clerk's office, and the state's clerk's office to get some information on the status of my absentee ballot for WEEKS. Finally I reached a woman who verified I was registered, but she had a stack of requests and had not had a chance to mail the ballots out yet. This was last week. I told her with only 2 weeks left to election day, I was extremely concerned that people (especially us active duty military members who are more than likely out of state and, in many cases, out of the country) would not have enough time to have their ballots not only mailed to them, but to mail them back in time to be counted. She tells me to fax her a sheet of paper with my name and signature on it requesting my ballot. I don't even understand what that was for since I'm already registered. Anyway, I called back earlier this week and they confirmed my ballot was mailed out on the 26th, but it's now 4 days later and I have yet to receive it. Fortunately, I mailed off my Federal Write-In Ballot last week so I was able to get my vote in, but I'm not sure how many other people are aware they can do that. Because of these people's disorganization and incompetence, some of our voices are not able to be heard. This issue really needs to be addressed.

with voting being the most fundamental aspect of our nation, the "greatest" nation on earth, why can't we get this voting thing down, we know its coming every four years and then people are shocked when things don't work. Maybe if more people joined the scouts they would have learned the motto "always be prepared," but seriously this is getting ridiculous.

Can't wait to hear how the Republicans are to blame for voter supression....Bound to happen, especially since McCain.Palin WILL whoop Obama. Then we will get to sit back and hear all the blame about how YET again we stole the election. Just get ready Obamanation...you will all get to see the inaguration of a truely great American....John McCain.

OBAMA is playing everyone for fools and he may just get away with it. As I always told my kids when they would hurt themselves doing something stupid." YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF"

We live in thee GREATEST country in the world with the BEST technology in the world and yet we still CAN NOT generate a VALID and ACCURATE VOTING POLICIES and PROCEDURES!!!

SHAMEFUL!!

SHAMEFUL!!

SHAMEFUL!!

SHAMEFUL!!

Just a little note about Sen McCains $5,000.00 tax credit to purchase health insurance. I lost my healthcare benifits this year with my employer that coverage cost me $58.00 weekly thats $224.00 monthly and $2648 yearly. he same coverage with COBRA was $1200. monthly and $14,000.00 yearly How does John McCain think a $5,000.00 tax credit will offset the real cost of privite insurance? It will cost me $11,852 .00 more dollars out of my pocket and the empolyer will save @ $10,000.00 dollars per employee and will probably not increase the employees pay rate.

All individuals who can vote MUST VOTE. Don't disenfranchise yourselves. This is your opportunity to hire the next president.

Obama/Biden '08

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. The electronic machines may be another story.

This is deplorable another way to keep people from voting it is stealing the vote ,and that it is not only happening in one county but counties in the north and south of Colorado it should not be happening and I hope that this is being looked into.

if Obama loses in this election, race-relations in America will be trobuled for sometime to come. If Obama was a white candidate, after all he has done to gain the confidence of the American people, this would be a landslide. But b.c he is black he has to prove himself, even Sarah Palin was accepted with arms wide open!!!

This guy is what Amerrica and the world needs,

Republican tactics. They cant win an election so why not steal it.

Florida just can't get it right. Maybe they should concentrate on their state needs instead of everything else.

Honey, take it back to Walmart's Customer Service Desk. They'll give you a credit and you can use it next time.

Curious....here in Va. I received a robocall from the Republican Party of Virginia about a month ago stating that they would be sending me an absentee ballot. I found this curious as it was a robo call and at no time was I prompted to request that I be sent an absentee ballot which I will not need anyway as I will be home to vote. To this day I have not received that ballot which brings me to wonder how many voters who may not be able to go to the polls ARE waiting for their ballot in the mail.

That is a sad and sorry state of affairs. You should be able to download a ballot online and fax it to the appropriate person. I'm sure that putting your DL number, SS number, or other such info – or providing a copy of relevant ID with the ballot – could make it all legal and correct.

No one should lose out on voting because County Courthouses or other government offices move too slow or don't know what they're doing. It's a shame!

I think they should fine states where they have voting problems.This is totaly unacceptable in 2008.

that is why I will be voting for early voting in Maryland

Republicans are You Happy NOW??

you know good and well if every american could vote you lose

so when this happens....YOU SMILE

you guys are evil....i swear your evil and i hope you pay

get those people forms to vote!!!!!!!!!!!! GOP i hate you... you lost your brand for life

My absentee went in the mail yesterday and it was for McCain-Palin, not Mr. Fix-It.

Not to be rude, but had they planned more than 3 weeks prior to election they wouldn't have this issue.

It's amazing how all problems with voting are only occurring in battleground states. Makes one truly wonder.

We need to request that the UN to send in election monitors to supervise our elections. We are just like the banana republics we used to make fun of.

What is it with these elections? Every election there is a problem with voting! It's the machines, it's the forms, it's the absentee forms! You'd think after these same problems cropping up election after election somebody would have the intelligence to fix the problem by now?
It's almost like the powers that be welcome these problems! Maybe they're benefitting the right people?

I'm waiting for my absentee ballot in England. I filled in the form and sent it in at the end of September, informing them that I'm visiting in England and was leaving Texas on October 19th, returning November 14th. I've emailed and they said it was sent, but no sign of it. Makes you wonder what's afoot.

For all those people who are willing and prepared to vote for OBAMA, I say this. Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.

I was just watching Campbell Brown & saw "Joe the Plumber" refer to John MccCain as a real American. This makes me wonder about Barack Obama. Is he NOT a real American? No mention was made of this which as an interested Canadian strikes me as odd.

God chose Barak Obama to lead America to make the world go round again. Go Barak we love you. We pray for you always during this difficult times

yours in the Peace and Love of Christ,

I had a similar problem being registered in Wisconsin but currently in California. I sent in my registration and request for an absentee ballot weeks ago, but when I called the clerk's office earlier this week, they informed me that my ballot had not yet been sent and that I may not recieve it until the Monday or Tuesday of election week. In Wisconsin, any ballots not recieved by the clerk's office by election Tuesday are discounted, so my vote would be discounted due to a failure by the clerk's office to send the ballot on time.

I voiced my concern to my senator's office and my state elections board and discovered that absentee ballots in the state of Wisconsin can be emailed in PDF form, which the clerk's office did not inform me of–though it seemed they were either unaware of this or unwilling to provide me this option.

I would recommend voters in a similar situation contact their state elections board and find out if email or fax is an option to recieve their absentee ballots so their vote is not discounted because of clerical error or backed up absentee submissions. People should still be aware that you must still fill these out and physically mail them back to your clerk's office, so you may have to cough up the extra money to mail priority like I did or even overnight if you don't get it until Monday. Your vote is still worth the cost though.

I am from Colorado, Arapahoe County specifically, and this is absolutely not the first time I have heard of things being wonky in Colorado. It started with Colorado College students being told by El Paso County that they could not register in Colorado if their parents claimed them as dependents. It has now moved to Arapahoe County not ordering enough ballots to send to their voters. In 2004 a secretary I accompanied family to drop off their ballots rather than risk mailing them and the box was full so a secretary offered to just take them. It's some sketchy dealings down in Colorado. Let's hope this election is won on a fair basis rather than seeing another president elected by theft.

I am so sick of hearing about all of these voter problems. It is a shame that in 2008, in the 21st Century that citizens are still experiencing these issues with voting! I think it is time for a national system of voting.

I had the same exact problem. I am currently out of state and requested an absentee ballot from Ohio. I called Franklin County and after being on hold for 30 minutes they reported no record of my application and would not allow me to speak to a supervisor (too many people ahead of me in line). She also told me that they did not accept faxed applications... This worries me greatly about the upcoming election. I have reported to polls that I will vote for Obama, but it seems now I will not have the chance to vote at all. I fear others are in the same situation too.

frauds = nobama = ayers = wright = rezko = khalidi = acorn

Archives confirm Barack Obama belonged to socialist party politicallydrunk.blogspot.com — From the October 1996 Update of the DSA 'New Party': "Three New Party members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: ... Barack Obama (State Senate) and ... New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago."

From a non-Dem, non-Repub, non-White, non-Black, non-US citizen who does however care about the USA and the world: DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD OF McCAIN'S ON TAXES WITHOUT READING THE FACTS.

I received my absentee ballot 3 days ago and had my mind made up on who I was going to get my vote for President. I did not complete it right away, I wanted to give it some serious thought. I turned it in last night. I went on-line and read the blogs on most all the news sources, including this CNN ticker. As I read what the people were saying, their tone, and how reasonable their arguments were, I was convinced that Obama is NOT my choice, even though I actually was considering him. He simply is not believable. He is not a humble man. He's got a bloated ego. His followers are nasty and mean-spirited. McCain is a old man, by alot of Obama followers standards, but he is steady, honorable, and in the most difficult situation a President of the USA might encounter, I believe he would be the one I'd prefer to be sitting in the oval office. Obama should get back to the Senate and continue learning how to be a leader, rather than a salesman.

I cannot believe how we call ourselves Americans and we stoop so low to try to stop peoples right to vote.

We want to tell every country how to run, but we cannot take care of the U.S., by running a clean election.

We should not have to call a voter hotline, everyone should be honest and accept people ballots and let them vote.

The Repulicans are so dirty. They will do anything to get to the WHITE HOUSE.

hmmmm, my guess that it's the rethuglicans machine are purging and or supressing voters again. there should be a law to stop these thugs from destorying a person right to vote. this had happen in the last 2 elections and rethuglicans got away with it.
GET OUT AND VOTE EARLY!!!

OBAMA-BIDEN 08

OBAMA IS A ARROGANT ,SLICK TALKING CHICAGO CON MAN. THAT WONT RELEASE THE TAPES ABOUT HIM DINING WITH PALASTINE LEADERS THAT ARE ANTI – ISREAL AND LOCKED IN WITH TERROIST.OBAMA IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ,BUT HIS NAIVE MORON YOUNG SUPPORTERS DONT BELIEVE ONLY THEIR PUPPET MASTER.THIS COUNTRY WILL FALL IF OBAMA GETS ELECTED. THE SAFETY OF THIS COUNTRY WILL BE NO LONGER. THE MILITARY EVEN BACKS MCCAIN KNOWING HE IS THE ONLY EXPERIENCED CANIDATE TO RUN THIS COUNTRY.THE YOUTH DONT KNOW ANY BETTER.BEING A PRESIDENT ISN'T MONEY ,GLAMOUR AND ROCK BANDS.WHAT GLITTERS IS NOT ALWAYS GOLD.YOU MORONS BETTER THINK BEFORE YOU PUT OUR COUNTRY IN THE HANDS OF TERROIST.MARK MY WORDS. OBAMA BEING ELECTED IS A INVITATION FOR ANOTHER TERROIST ATTACK.

The wonderful Bill Clinton has just revealed that Obama didn't know what to do during the economic crisis and said the following:

"I haven't cleared this with him and he may even be mad at me for saying this so close to the election, but I know what else he said to his economic advisers (during the crisis)," Clinton told the crowd at a Wednesday night rally with Obama in Florida. "He said, 'Tell me what the right thing to do is. What's the right thing for America? Don't tell me what's popular. You tell me what's right - I'll figure out how to sell it.'"

Wow! Obama says McCain doesn't know anything about the economy yet it's clear, according to Bill Clinton, Obama doesn't know anything about the economy either.

You people must be nuts. They are trying to steal the election by making u think its close so the can change the source codes in the voting system....obama is very far ahead...no way mcanin and pailina
can win.....

Please God, don't let them steal this election. If the Republicans can't steal Ohio again, it will have to be another state. At least people are voting early and all of the voter machine "problems" are coming to light early this time.

If we don't have fair elections, then we have no democracy. All of the wars fought, have been in vain. Women, remember the Iron Angels. Blacks, remember all of the civil rights heros that fought for the right to vote. Please don't let it be taken away! Get out there and VOTE, and make sure every vote COUNTS!

Obama/Biden 08

Q – “fallen into the hands of the wrong people . . . is this going to be used for fraud?”

A – just make sure acorn aint around

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That really sucks. Every American should have the right to vote.

This is a bi-partisan issue.

Funniest quote from Obama campaign this week in reference to Miami Dolphins sale by Huizenga: " the capital gains tax would only go up from 15 percent to 20 percent, a 33 percent increase, not a doubling of the tax as Mr.s Huizenga states."

Soooo funny! ONLY a 33% increase! Why ANYONE would vote for Obama is beyond my comprehension!!!!

Democrats who sell stocks OR sell their homes for Capital Gains on the sale will be screwed under Obama/Pelosi.

The race is tightening and that shows that voters are not buying what Obama says about McCain :
"McCain is Bush" & " With McCain there will be 4 more years of Bush"

People should vote for Obama if they think Obama is ready and has easy solutions to everything..Otherwise better vote for Mccain…

Lifelong Democrat that voted for McCain and every Republican listed on my absentee ballot.

I am sickened by the Democratic party. Dianne Wilkerson is a disgrace. Obama is a disgrace. Rangel is a disgrace. John Edwards is a disgrace. Barney Franks...Chris Dodd....Sandra Pelosi. There are so many Democrats right now being investigated for corruption it sickens me that until these thugs are thrown out of office I will continue to vote Republican.'

I want my party back!!!!!

I am a retired NYPD police sergeant. When I was on the NYPD I could not consort with known felons without fear of loss of my job. How is it that Senator Obama who would not be an acceptable candidate for the FBI or Secrete Service because he would be deemed a security risk is able to be considered for President of the United States and be in charge of those same departments?

Things that make you say HUMMMMM!

Mike

Can't she just go down and early vote?
