[...] Votes. This is a very tall order and trying to expand into new states in the final hours shows he doesn't have the votes to win.. . [...]

[...] should make you boys excited! CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive – CNN Electoral Map update: McCain los... CNN has projected Obama at 291, McCain at 160 with the Electoral Map. But what do they know, [...]

The only numbers that count are on election day 08!

But Obama's latest Palin attack video has struck a nerve with women everywhere!

Palin is speaking in this video but her voice is silenced. This is misogyny at its worst!

I voted for McCain/Palin 08. They are America's only choice for authentic reform!

Time to unleash the surprise, Johnny . . couple hours it will be Friday night, then the weekend always goes by fast, then just one day . . . Not gonna help ya ta spring it on us wednesday! Or was Joe the Plumber all you got?

Prediction ... Landslide for Obama

Based on ... The latest claim by some southern Evangelicals that supporters of Obama believe that Obama is the "next coming". It is apparently a "religious thing" now in their feeble minds to vote against Obama. You cannot vote against the "next coming" now can you

Hmmm ... Lets see now ... In the right-wing extremist hysterical minds, Obama is either a communist, a socialist, a terriorist lover, a threat to national peace, unpatriotic (only they are that), and is willing to lose the war in Iraq.

Oddly, McCain has not spelled out how you win an "occupation" (not a war at this point).
And, oddly, McCain has neglected to mention that he voted as head of a committee to provide a grant in the amount of $448,000 (and many smaller grants) to the same man he accuses Obama of giving $80,000 to, who is a supporter of the Palestinians. Hmmmm ... small oversight.

As I said, a landslide for Obama on Tuesday. Intelligent Americans see through all the crappola drooling out of the mouths of McCain and Palin.

Wow, I can't wait for Nov 4th.

How many more republicans like Eagleburger, the Secretary of State under H.W. have to go over and endorse Obama before they get the message! I think that people are getting tired of The Republican Party that has been hi-jacked by the miserable Christian Conservative arm. They are neither christians nor conservative. They have just about bankrupted the United States with their spending. They are also pretty close to being outright fascists or nazis.

All blue state send more money then what they get it from Washington.
New jersey get 62 cent for each dollar it sends to govt. Alaska get $1.84 for each dollar.
Cry about 'Govt. off my back' is always comes from this all red state, maybe they should return the money.

I cant wait to see the look on the obamabots faces when the realize they have been had, its going to be pricless, they will beg for the bushy years.

CNN's estimates have been incessantly conservative and that bodes well for Obama.

Let's hope this trend carried through to election day! Make sure you vote America...and make sure that your vote counts!

Obama/Biden 08 and 12!!!

When the Republican party returns to it's roots of fiscal conservatism and protecting our national resources instead of being a party of false christians and wastrels, I may once again vote with them. Until then, I will vote with the party of true blue Americans.

Yes we can and will.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Let's turn the entire map blue. Please vote. If you have already voted, then volunteer to help others get to the polls. We can do this.

Obama-Biden '08

steve.....so whats your excuse for al gore losing tennesse? i believe that cost him the election, not the hanging chads in florida. also i believe mccain is still ahead in arizona. what are you obama fanatics going to do when the polls turn out to be wrong?

I am just happy for America. If Obama wins, then for sure America is that special place where anyone, no matter what, can be anything he/she wants to be.

God bless the US of A.

Man am I glad that Virginia is leaning Obama right now. That is truly historical. I just hope that on tue. the results will reflect this. Go Obama/Biden! The change is finally coming. And of course...GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE BUSH!...

HILLARY SUPPORTERS....stand up and vote for ALIN and MC CAIN...We KNOW you didnt endorse the stealthy OBAMA camp and their continuous line of BS..Get on the Straight Talk Express and y ou will never be sorry and you can stand up on Wednesday and say....WE HAVE SPOKEN.

Don't think we'll see much of Joe on the trail, after humiliating the senator that made him a household name. Apparently, McCain forgot about the reliability of plumbers. (Sorry to the good plumbers out there, I've had multiple bad experiences ) The McCain camp can't even keep track of appearances, how are they going to help old man McCain keep track of the issues if he won?

Polls mean nothing. The actual votes are the only thing that counts.
I have heard young voters are not coming out as strong as they should during this early voting period. Alright people. Get of butts and go vote. This election is for your immediate future. You must act NOW.
Go Obama/Biden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Freedom will reign in America again!
Please get out and VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE
and then help others get out and VOTE for OBAMA/BIDEN
for the change we need in America.
Young voters, Please show up at the poll, be patient and wait and then VOTE for Change and your future. OBAMA is your ticket to a better future in America.

I am a Latino.
I am Juan The Plumber. I don't know Joe!
My wife & I will both vote for Obama!
Obama is a good christian man, we have faith he will be best for our country!

As the economy sinks under its own weight and people continue to lose their houses, and unemployment reaches 15%--Obama will he helpless to turn the tide. He will get people even angrier at that point when he sends tax credits to crack heads sitting on street corners in Harlem. Rather than a one term president he's more likely a one year president.

Shabbat Shalom to all.

In anticipation of the upcoming United Staes election, ultimately "the heart of kings is in the hands of G-d". While i wish the US citizens wisdom in making the right choice, i pray to G-d "May the best person win", even if i'm wrong in my choice.

People do not concern yourself with the polls. This is what the Republicans want you to do: to think this is in the bag for Obama/Biden and hope you will not vote.

Do not be fooled by the polls. Vote.

let's hope that another bin Laden tape is the worst we get from this .... those weren't paper airplanes on 9/11 ... I'm very glad Bush didn't perceive them as such !!!

McCain can lose in arizona.that is the way cookie crumbles.

If Obama wins there will be a revolution in this country

LEANING McCain for Arizona? This old man lost this election

And Nancy from MD, you are a moron. That manufactured Acorn hysteria has been already been proven to be way overblown.

Also, to everyone, learn what a Socialist really is before you buy into the mouth droppings from the GOP. They count on you to be too stupid to know. Don't prove them right.

Louisiana? I'm worried for you.

An ABSOLUTE BUNCH OF BS and CNN knows it. How about having BARRY answer the questions tonight on Wolfe's show....
"Barry do you or do you not have a US Born Birth Certificate and would you be willing to produce it for all to see>" to put this lingering question to bed.

As for FRAMING the Election. CNN goes on and on on...Does the NYT times OWN CNN by the way...same chatter, same story, same bunch of BS.. They create their own set of POLLS with registered Democrats...what else would you expect in terms of the numbers....Move over Obama, here comes JOHN and SARAH and they are COMING FAST

OBAMA IS MAKING PLANS FOR 2009 WHEN HE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT SO FAR OTHER THAN RUNNING A BRILLIANT CAMPAIGN WITH UNKNOWN/ UNTRACEABLE CONTRIBUTIONS......

I AM SORRY OBAMA I DON^T BUY THAT....

McCAIN / PALIN 08.

Maybe the GOP can bus some school children to all of the AZ voting polls on the 4th to present the appearance of popular support. It's the preferred tactic in Ohio to show the nation the semblance of a crowd for the cameras at McCain speaking rallies. Ok, I'm just being a smart-*ss, but it is trick-or-treat time.

Let's not count our chickens just yet.If McBain should somehow upset Obama we will need to say a prayer for the USA.Four more years of Bush politics(We all know that McBain voted with him 90% of the time)should cripple the country!

Obama has demonstrated that Americans need common sense politics, but not silly and attacking politics that one should not expect from old people like McCain.

I know why Joe the plummer was not visible during that McCain rally...infact he was not missing..he was sitting right under the podium..fixing McNasty's crooked and wrinkled little slick willy...

obama for life man

Obama, when asked, what made it hard for people to vote for him answered his age, his race, and his name. We should all be proud that a young, Black American named Obama can not only aspire to be President of the US, but actually have a good chance of achieving goal.

Is Obama really going to paint the White House black? I'll be waiting for my check on my front porch soon after he gets elected. Sorry rich folks.

For all those who have bought into McCain/Palin's accustions about Obama's economic plan - Most of the big companies in this country are publicly offered, i.e. you can buy stock in them. Those companies rely on investors for capital and they have to report to shareholders annually. Most of the wealthy in this country fall into the category of these investors, who produce nothing but more wealth for themselves. Suggesting that rolling back their taxes to the levels of the Clinton administration will discourage them from investing and bring about the collapse of our economy is almost as silly as saying it is a socialist idea. Too much of this country's wealth has become concentrated in the hands of people with no stake in the country who produce nothing but more wealth for themselves. The McCain/Palin ticket is using a scare tactic which will only work on people who don't understand the basics of our economy.

Oh my goodness when did AZ turn pink. McCain's carrear is over if he can't even win his own state. Off to the old age home where he belongs.

When do we get our new training-wage jobs?

Go to hell McCain and stop sayin rubbish about president obama....respect youself old man.

The fat lady just lost weight and she is singing.

Maverick#1 John McCain
Maverick#2 Sarah Palin
Maverick#3 Joe the Plumber

Please vote for party of mavericks and be counted as Maverick.

Georgia Peach, Obama will take Georgia when pigs fly!!!!

And he will keep losing it as long as the baracuda keeps flapping her JAW BONE

I'm crossing my fingers.....I'm just waiting for some surprise to happen in this election at the last minute...This whole thing has been a rollercoaster...

Not that I believe in polls because I don't but it is good news on a Friday afternoon. No Halloween tricks needed today.

Hey 'Plumber'.......why is Tim an idiot?

Is that the best you can do.....coming on here just to call someone names?

I guess that's all you have left when you're backing the wrong horse......and that horse is steadily losing ground!

Funny how only CNN is reporting this. Pick up a newspaper in Arizona and you will read a different story.

I will cry from joy seing Obama family moving to the Whithe House.

As long as Barack Obama talks about solutions and John McCain talks about Barack Obama, the entire map will turn blue. John McCain doesn't deserve to win because he's made too many mistakes. We want a president who at least knows what he's doing....it appears Barack Obama would be 'that one'.

With the old fool's home state now in the "leaning" column this looks like missy's prophecy that God's will be done for America is actually happening and Obama will be elected!

I hope the children and grandchildren of the many retirees here in Arizona realize that John McCain most definitely should have asked for federal funds to help the state reduce the amount of fraud in our state. If he would not ask Congress to help combat the fraud and identity theft in Arizona, what makes anyone think that he would do anything about the problem on a national level? Obviously the costs of regulation is not on John McCain's agenda.

Arizona in Peril

Of course McCain would only reward the weathy. Isnt that what republicans are all about. I live in southeast michigan and have friends
and family that have lost jobs and homes.I want change and so does every
one else in Michigan. I am a registered Democrat and so is my daughter
and we both agree John McCain is just like Bush. He used to be a really
nice guy with an outstanding military record. We liked the old John McCain but the new John McCain is an angry bitter man who I feel I
would not want running the country. His running mate Mooselady is
a crock. If anything were to happen to him,we better all leave the country!!
Go Obama. Our country needs you. I want a better world for
my children and granddchildren.

"But many moderate Democrats, like myself, are voting for McCain."

No they aren't, Marilyn. Please open your eyes and ears.
Reason and intelligence will finally prevail. Fear and emotional terrorism won't work this time.

There will be no October suprise, Obama is untuchable even if something does come out. The media will not cover it, or hide it LA Times. Obama will be the next prez and we will just have to wait until 2012, but I bet Obama will push to not allow the same type of donations that he received this time. Un traceable prepaid credit cards (who, and from where was the money from).

Marilyn October 31st, 2008 4:51 pm ET

On election night the map will look just like it did in 2004. Republicans are not going to vote for Obama. But many moderate Democrats, like myself, are voting for McCain.
-------------------------------

In your world that may be what the map will look like, in the REAL world, Obama is NOT Kerry and the people want a new fresh face in the White House. That face will be President Obama. I've already early-voted for Obama here in Florida.

"…And to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands. One nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Ha! Don't make me laugh, last time I checked I couldn't get married, am not considered eligible to serve my country if I didn't abide by Don't Ask, Don't Tell. And just who's god are we suppose to be under?

I want to know why do every time John McCain have a rally, he has his wife, Lindsey Graham, and /or Sarah Palin? He can not stand alone thats sad........Think about it?????????????????

Obama/Biden 08

EVERY BODY VOTE LIKE YOUR LIVES DEPEND ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great news, but we still have to do all we can to make it happen by making sure we vote and we get others to vote as well. Finally, after eight looooong years, people are making political decisions based on the real qualifications of the candidate.

The only point that anyone needs to consider is Obama's running mate versus McCain's running mate. Is there any comparison? Biden is a time-tested senator with over 25 years in the US Senate, Palin is governor of a state where that are more moose than people. WE CAN NOT ALLOW the shallow, empty-headed, corrupt, power-hungry, mindless female stooge anywhere near the White House.

Come on folks, think with your head for a change – the choice is so obvious. Colorado voter and Obama contributor from Colorado. Already voted for Obama. GO OBAMA/BIDEN.

Say goodnight John McCain. You can not be president just because you are entitled to the spot based on your military background. Your largest number of kills as a pilot were onbaord the Forrestal – a US Ship. I think that makes you a domestic terrorist and qualifes you for a treason charge. GO AWAY NOW, FAR AWAY LOSER

@ Leslie from Garden Grove, CA

Thank God Almighty – Let Freedom Ring!

CAN JOHN MCCAIN REGAIN HIS DIGNITY AND GO INTO THE SUNSET LIKE THE WAR HERO THAT HE IS??. LETS FACE IT, EVEN SARAH PALIN ADMITTED IN AN INTERVIEW ON YOUTUBE THAT OBAMA REPRESENTS A RESOUNDING MESSAGE OF CHANGE AND A BREAK FROM THE STATUS QUO.
AND TO ALL WHO CITES OBAMA'S INEXPERIENCE, A MAN WHO CAN RUN SUCH A PHENOMENAL CAMPAIGN AND MANAGE TO SLAY THE CLINTON GOLIATH AND (SOON) ,THE REPUBLICAN BEHEMOTH CAN RUN THIS COUNTRY ANYTIME!!!!! WELL DONE!! GREAT EXPECTATIONS !!!

To all Americans who lose their jobs because their employer needed to make up for Obama's tax plans; To all Americans who lose their jobs because because their employer needed to make up for Obama's plan to raise minimum wage....

See Barrack Obama and his "followers" with your complaints.

Georgia is going to surprise us and go blue too.

Vote. Vote Early if you can. Go early to the polls on the 4th. Stand your ground. Vote!

What's interesting is that in North Carolina, DEMOCRATS are outnumbering Republicans 2 to 1!

I am THRILLED that AMERICA IS REJECTING THE VILE POLITICS OF HATE, LIES, FEAR AND DIVISION THAT THE REPUBLICANS SPEW!

I agree "ONE NATION, UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE (someone tell Palin) with FREEDOM AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!" AMEN!

THANK YOU AMERICA!

ONE NATION- YES WE CAN

I voted last Friday for Senator Obama and I am helping others to vote. This is a new season ... a season of change. I don't think that we can withstand anymore republican policies. Respectfully Senator McCain your season has expired.

Vote for Change and Hope..Vote Obama 08

I moved to South Dakota (from Northern California's Bay Area) and I didn't realize there are so many idiots who live here...if this is what you call living. I've polled cows, who out number humans, and even the cows say they'd vote Obama if Acorn would find their way to the pit, hey, I'll even deliver their absentee ballots to the courthouse, or cathouse, or whatever.

It is wonderful to see that people are finally waking up to what is at stake this election. Anyone should not just vote for their party ticket but for the better candidates. Arizona, and all other mostly Republican States... if you feel Obama/Biden are the the better candidates, vote for them. This election is almost nerve wrecking, but in a good sense!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08... can't wait!

VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

Please vote! I challenge all you young people to stand up with a strong voice for your future. Show us old folks up with your intelligence and drive to make those red states a solid blue.

Obama/Biden 08

Remember Obama supportes CNN has to keep us interested, they will change that map a thousand times before Tuesday. Pay no attention to the man behind the map, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE OBAMA!!!

To Marilyn,
Dre eee eee eee eeam, Dream, Dream, Dreeeam.

"liberty and justice for all????". What part of ALL does this country not understand?

When will we start getting our welfare checks?

the real joke is that mccain doesnt have anyone real backing him up,,,JOE is a fake,,,,,and clearly a plant..... a book a record deal.. give me a break ,,,,,, and obama is right,,, a socialist?anti american? anti semetic? why not just call him the DEVIL,,,,,,,, im moving to italy if mccain wins, at least ill be close to the pope LOL

Joe the Plumber- you are an idiot

We are not tolarating any cheating this year from the GOP

Oh Magoo, you've done it again.

My friends, its all over but the crying. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy (Jon Mackaine). After this Mackaine is toast, he is damaged goods – he won't be any use to the GOP.

see, now McSame needs to Joe "I Stood you UP" the Bummer to AZ!!!!!! there's no explanation for losing your own darn state!!!!!!!! LOLOLO

Obama 08!

It ain't over till the fat lady sings.......that is, unless all those early Acorn ficticious voters votes have already been counted and the real votes from real, actual voters are no longer needed. I guess you Obama supporters think it's already "in the bag". Guess again – it won't be over till the last vote is counted.
I pray it's McCain...but whoever it is....I will support them. I know if it's Obama though.....their will be a very long homeymoon with the press (who I'm ashamed to say, have not done their job). It's so sad that our major press media is so biased.

MESSAGE TO YOUNG PEOPLE

I was unable to vote for Senator Kennedy when he became president because I was one month from being age 21.

Now you can vote at 18.

My generation did this for you because we didn't feel it was right for you to fight for your country but not be able to vote.

I am asking you a favor: PLEASE VOTE and drag your registered friends to vote with you. Call them in the morning and wake them up, go to their homes and drag them out of bed and to the polls.

Here is your chance to show America what you can do for your country, just as JFK asked my generation.

As good as the news looks, I worry about the Bradley effect....and about McCain stooping even lower than he already has. Fortunately, the American people - REAL Americans, Sarah, baby– see right thru his lies and distortions and realize McCain & Palin are deceitful to say the least. Only 4 more days of McCains insane lies and Palin's stupid comments

I'm tired of people saying bad things about McCain give it a rest already McCain is the best thing since slice bread and re-energizes the campaign.

Louisiana moving to safe?

That's odd considering there was just a poll that had McCain only up by 3% there.

I looks like Tuesday will be a land slide victory for Obama and Biden.

Perhaps Joe not showing up yesterday was the October surprise.

Who by now, would REALLY not have seen that race plays a significant part in this.Otherwise Obama would be 70:30 V MCAIN.There guys out there like PUMA-remember them?.Credit to those white brothers and sisters (and others of course,like LATINOS) who stand shoulder to shoulder with LOVE, IMPARTIALITY and RESPECT and say ' WE ARE ONE' or SIMUNYE in ZULU. Lest there some doubters, YES he is a jolly goodfella and yes you can fight that Gremlin called SUBCONCIOUS RACISM and share history with everyone. Because we are making it in November.

Forget PALIN MCAIN.

BARACK OBAMA is BLACK meets WHITE;he is JAPAN(Obama) meets AMERICA; he is A f RICA meets A me RICA; he is HEBREW(Barack=blessing) meets ARAB (Hussein) meets Africa(Obama) ;he is YOUNG meets AGED!!!!!! HE IS THE IDEAL; ANYONE EXCLUDED ???? Please say so.

Hey, Joe the fake plumber, the IRS is looking for you.....

God let this whole map turn blue. I know quite well that Senator Obama will win 43 states, McCain will win 7 states.

Democrats held congress frpm 1966-1995.In 1966 Social Security was put under the Federal Budget. It took the Democrats 30 years to rape Social Security. Forbes Magazine said worst return for the taxpayers investment in the history of investing!! Thanks Democrats!

Joe must be Trick or Treating. Leave him alone!

Go, go go for Obama !!

Please vote for change, we can not afford not to!!

I can't believe any states are voting McCain, honestly.

Let's turn the entire map blue. Please vote. If you have already voted, then volunteer to help others get to the polls. We can do this.

Obama-Biden '08

Joe the Plumber smells something! He decided to call in sick!!!

John McCain is just a lousy candidate who has made bad decision after bad decision during this election. From trying to run as a change Washington candidate (how many years has he been in Washington??), to picking Sarah Palin, to stumbling over the economic mess. I am sure he probably wants this to be over as much as anyone!! He will soon have plenty of time to ponder all the mistakes he made on the campaign trail!!

Flo,

From your email to God's ear.

I resurrected a button from the '04 election. It reads:

Let's not elect him again this time either. I've gotten a lot of wear out of it since McSame has entered the race.

Joe The Plumber,
Pay your taxes.

Just like statistical scrabble, I can see the McCain and Obama campaigns in the war rooms trying to sort through all of the possibilities. The Only problem is the McCain Campaign happens to be working with fuzzy math, just like the whole McCain campaign strategy has been since before the general election began.

You know what's really strange, is how the McCain and Republican party had so much time to really work through all of the possible strategic scenarios while the democratic race between Obama and Clinton primary was going on. That's call sitting on your hands and hoping someone would help craft a winning strategy and a gift would fall in their laps.

Certainly if that's how McCains campaign team is, then they don't deserve a win, especially as their team has shown signs of coming apart in the most critical times. I would much rather see McCain and his team fighting a race that would attempt to bring America together. Much like the Obama campaign has done throughout. But this whole idea of fighting by trying to play dirty politics and name calling. That's like playing the dozens, it won't add up in the end.

Go Obama/Biden!

I for one will be glad when this election is over but am overjoyed to see that most likely Obama and Biden will be the team facing the task of putting our CAPITALIST economy back together.

Louisiana has moved from “lean McCain” to “safe McCain.
I just don't understand it. People in Louisiana are either uneducated or just plain fools. To even think of voting for the party that practically abandoned them after Katrina is beyond me. You never know about people. I could almost believe race has more to do with this.

It's not over until Tuesday night! Vote for "O" as in Oh, Crap were screwed!

McCain/Palin, the only ticket to turn America around.

Excellent! Obama/Biden '08!

The GOP favorite slogan: Everyone for himself including Joe The Plumber

But yet Fox News is reporting a very close race and McCain is closer than the polls say "their internal polling".

The Republicans are in denial!

well, is this the October surprise???

mm, dont trust CNN, or Rove,or Limbaugh, hennety, palin, joe plumber, palin jane, ted joe,

even teh weather is strange here.. in mn

i know change is coming it is in the sunrays
it is in the sky
it is all over
but dont trust the republicans _ well mcbush adn his crowd mentioned above, these clows would create a natural disaster if they have to.. wait and see

with three days left, they are desperated.. they will come up with something..
dont trust them VOTE VOTE
help others, show them their poll locaiton
print maps

be an observer, take your cameras
document, question people,

there are many impostors being sent by hennety and limbaugh;

this is a one time life oportunity to HAVE CHANGE AND A FUTURE FOR ALL OF US NOT JUST MCBUSH, MCPALIN, AND THE REST OF THE ELITE HERE..

Let's bring Joe the Plumber / Country Singer / Shyster to Arizona! He's the bees knees.

Lets hope that the map stays true on Election Night.....
Or will the Republicans find yet 'another way to win'

Let's hope that Tuesday night will have such happy news!
And I hope that we finally say goodbye to the outdated and incorrect ways of the Republicans. Things won't be perfect under Obama, but they will be one hell of a lot better than they are under Bush/McCain/Palin.

to bad theres not enough common sense voters to turn oklahoma blue we will work on it for 2012 for now we will depend on you swing states to vote for the next prez obama

What a hoot! Arizona doesn't even like their native son anymore.

Democrats, don't get cocky, get out and vote on Tuesday!

As payback maybe McCain should pull out of Pennsylvania and go into Obam's own backyard Illinois that 21 Electoral votes as well.

In my cube I have a print out of Truman holding up the Chicago Daily Tribune declaring "Dewy Defeats Truman". My personal reminder to my self that the race isn't over and to continue doing my little bit to encourage obama voters to get out there and get their vote on.

This particular election is too important to lose. It's not that I dislike or distrust John McCain, but I think his idea's on how to lead the nation, just like his campaign are dated and incorrect for our nations current situation. Barack Obama by contrast has really redefined how to run a presidential campaign this go around and I have every bit of confidence that he'll bring that same style of leadership to the white house, which is exactly what this nation needs now.

Let's keep talking to friends, making calls, and knocking on doors. Let's add more weight to our scale!! Turn Arizona blue, North Dakota blue, Georgia blue, and all other toss ups!!

Unfortunately, Texas will remain behind the times...
Tim... that WAS funny. So funny. I think that ten second clip represents the McCain campaign in its entirety. Troubled, unorganized, and shaky.

THATS WHY WE"RE TURNING RED STATES BLUE!!

Joe the Plumber October 31st, 2008 4:49 pm ET

Tim, you're an idiot.
------------------------

Joe, YOU'RE the idiot, now go get your plumber's certification and pay your dam taxes.

People let us vote for a better America not the usual way but the change way.

Obama/Biden
yes we can!

Oh..... what a great day it will be if McCain looses his own home state. Remember all of the talk show hosts giving Gore hell for loosing his home state of Tennessee? What goes around comes around!

Arizona needs to be in the toss-up category, not lean-McCain. Obama is making McCain campaign in his home state, which means McCain is done. You can't spend money in PA when you're spending it in your home state that you should be winning. I guess those folks have finally seen the true McCain.

Obama/Biden 2008/2012.

McCain's campaign reminds me of the last minutes of any carrot-top comedy act – down to the pointless gimmicks to fill time. McCain should have retired his gimmicks a long time ago. Gimmicks not limited to Palin, Joe the unlicensed plumber, Tito the builder, "Socialist", "spread the wealth" claims, non-existent "experience" claims, "Rocky" theme music, "pals with" exaggerations, "Straight Talk Express", and "clean" campaign promises.

If the rest of the world was voting, it would be 100% for Obama.

Even Arizona is beginning to catch up!!! wow!! Good job guys!! "joe the plumber " or rather "Joe the singer" even he is moving on....it did provide comic relief while it lasted....

Go Obama/Biden '08

Blue has always been my favorite color!!

haha – wonderful!

we don't need division, we need unity!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I am voting for Barrack, but after this election I hope there will be more than a 2 party system.

What ever honor Sen McCain had, he has lost it in this campaign. Along with his puppet Gov Palin, they have run one of the nastiest campaigns this country has seen in a while. As an retired military man, he has truly forgot what honor is.

Soon GA will be a TOSS-UP!

Is any intelligent person surprised? All McCain has going for him is an unlicensed plumber who owes back taxes and the most unqualified VP candidate in history.

It was a good run while it lasted, oh whom I kidding. No it wasnt.

Is that a loud sucking sound I hear from Arizona?

This is the real story people! You can vote whatever way you want but the electoral college are the ones deciding here. This is not a democracy. Democracy is mob rule. This is a REPUBLIC. "...And to the REPUBLIC, for which it stands. One nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

We seem to be forgetting the pledge of alliegance as of late.

On election night the map will look just like it did in 2004. Republicans are not going to vote for Obama. But many moderate Democrats, like myself, are voting for McCain.

Just imagine...a sea of blue from the East Coast to Montana. Then, all we need is tunnel through the upper tip of Idaho to connect the the two coasts!

Let freedom ring!

Why does McCain and his campaign keep talking about Joe The Plumber? He may do plumbing, but he's not licensed as a plumber. They sure know how to distort things. I taught my children how to read before they started school, does that make me a teacher? Many men may do their own electrical work in their homes (and I am talking about those who know exactly what they are doing), does that make them electricians? Come on now.

As so often happens in America, the battle seems like it takes forever, the mud flies in all directions, every kind of personal weakness and innuendo is dug up in hopes of finding the "October Surprise" that will take second to first.
And then, the real surprise...the best one wins. God bless America.

I hope the losing candidate IMMEDIATELY wishes the winning one success and offers all of the help he would need.

McCain–win or lose– needs to go back to his 2000 roots

Obama–if he wins–needs to reach out and immediately announce Republicans to be in his cabinet or inner advisory circle; if he loses–to do so with grace and offer unity and not excuses

then we will have good change

Never mind all polliings, let's hope americans remember George Bush and his mediocre policies when they vote this coming tuesday. WOULD YOU LET YOURSLEF DIED OF HUNGER INSTEAD OF BEING FED BY A BLACK MAN?.......Comon people show some common sens!

MCNASTY IS JUST WAYYYYYY TOO OLD AND SICK TO COMMAND !

It is not a good day when you have to defend your own state. I just dont know what to say at this point but hello President Obama.

Obama/Biden 08

Sarah Palin will return to Alaska next week where she will enjoy the next four years by firing darts at Obama everytime he slips up. Of course, as the economy sinks and people are selling apples on street corners, Obama will either be impeached or not re-elected.

Sarah will return in 2012-wiser and tougher to claim the Presidency.

Would someone from CNN explain to me why Louisiana is leaning McCain? With their large black polulation and the Katrina experience under Bush, it just doesn't make any sense. What am I missing? Help me here.

All this john the plumber stuff is just pathetic

This Election, the American People are going to cry out in one voice...

WE WANT CHANGE

NO MORE FEAR

NO MORE War-MONGERING

NO MORE NEO-CONS FASCISTS

NO McCain/Palin

VOTE NOV 4th, and VOTE LOUDLY FOR HOPE...

Obama/Biden 08/12

Something about this whole deal smells. It smells bad.

To think it happened right under our noses, in broad daylight.

CNN MAP: I have a question. You just turned LA solid red and McCain is leading there by 7. Why then are the states of Maine, Michigan, etc. still light blue for Obama? He's up 21 in Maine and at least 12 in Michigan. I don't understand this at all.

McCain should run the last days of this campaign with dignity and grace. I would want to go out in that style.
FYI – I just found out that many, many republicans on my job also voted for Obama. We just couldn't see Palin in the White House.

Obama/Biden '08

GREAT......................I hope the whole map turn BLUE. That would really be historic................100% OBAMA.

Tim, you're an idiot.

TO TIM- YES THAT WAS VERY FUNNY- BUT WHAT MOVES ME THE MOST IS THAT OBAMA CAN BRING UP PRESIDENT CLINTON TO THE STAGE, HILLARY CLINTON TO THE STAGE- AL GORE ON VIDEO AND ETC ETC.
MC CAIN HAS JOE THE PLUMBER- WHAT A SAD BUT FUNNY COMMENTARY ON THE REPUBLICAN MESS.
HOWEVER THEY MORE THAN DESERVE THIS
DO NOT BELIEVE THE POLLS , I DO NOT TRUST WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH DESPERATE REPUBLICANS – GET OUT AND VOTE VOTE VOTE.

Joe the NON plumber who owes back taxes. What a GENIOUS. This is the problem with 45% of American Voters. Exactly this. Stupidity is rewarded. Let's have a BEER with Bush!

John McCain losing ground, surprise surprise what did you expect from the George Bush clone.

John McCain is a dazed and confused old man that has forgotten what honor to your country is all about with his dirty corrupt campaign. John McCain is continuing with the same divisive politics of George Bush bringing the country to a new low.

We desperately need change and only President Obama can bring that change.

Does anyone else notice that Arizona is now only "leaning McCain" instead of "safe McCain"? Is he actually losing ground in his home state that voted red 3 out of 4 of the past elections?

The only "TOSS-UP" I see is Joe the plumber, tossing up big time and sister Sarah preparing for her act.

Some funny guy with the name Rick Davis( Fanny and Fredie loobist) says his candidtate will spring a suprise come back. These guys all took McCain for a ride and now they are feeding him Bull crap!!!

Good night gamps!!!

Mccain lost rudy today too!!

he's a mess

Sarah Palin just entered one of her rallies on the song "Thriller". Very approriate for a witch. Wonder if they got Michael Jackson's permission to do that.

Palin / Joe The Plumber 2012.

Kind of interesting to see Arizona's support slipping for McCain. This could be brutal on Tuesday.

if he cant even win his own state by a landslide.. then what does that say about the man and those that know him best..

adulterers are cheaters and liars.. why would anyone want those qualities to be the leader of their country.. well.. i guess only hypocrites would...lol

Joe-the-Biden.. Senator Government.. McCain should retire.

No one should be surprised about this. McCain has run a campaign that lacked a message and direction. The best he's been able to come up with are disjointed and nononsensical attacks aimed at Obama.

Well.....I, at least, voted last week!!!

That One/Biden 2008

I don't understand why McCain dosen't drop Palin and pick-up Joe the Plummer? Thanks McCain for being an idiot.

Birds of the same feathers flock together:

As a pilot, McCain was in his cockpit shooting down the poor and the weak ("Thou shalt not kill; no exceptions, period) until he was captured.

As a candidate, McCain chose a lady who shots animals from her own helicopter cockpit- Cowards.

True heros of this nation include: those who "face" the enemy in battle; those who feed the poor and the hungry (e.g., Late Mother Theresa); those who fight for the small people; those who stand up for losers!

He's lost more than ground. He's lost his marbles (not just his bearings). Anyone that would have the BAD judgment to pick a ditz like palin ought to be locked up in a mental institution. HE'S gone crazy. Dementia? Strokes? Senility? Alzheimers? His left eye looks funny – it seems to be getting worse.

God help us all if this man gets anywhere near the white house.

Voted early for Obama/Biden

Sarah Palin is already showing signs of putting in her bid for 2012.
Joe the Plumber was recently a no-show at a McCain rally.
Add the fact that key Republicans are beginning to endorse Obama.

And now even AZ may be turning against McCAin.

These are all troubling signs for the GOP.

I'm just waiting for the day when FOX news gives Barack a ringing endorsment.......

Once again everyone. LETS VOTE ISSUES. Do not vote republican because you grew up a republican! Do not treat republican as your career. That is why they know you as RED STATE! what is that? Think for yourself and you will vote right. This time around...It is all Obama. When is the last time MCCain talked to us about his agenda! He always talks about Obama and people are tired of that.

This is a candidate for the highest office in the world. "Joe the plumber! " So childish.

I think that North Carolina can be moved to "Lean Obama"...Hopefully by Monday , Ohio should be lean Obama by Monday also . This should be getting good by around 11:30 P.M. Tuesday Nov. 4th. !!!

Team McCain has lost the election. So what do they do? They plan to muddy the waters by spending all their remaining resources to post every vicious attack ad and smear over the next 5 days. Instead of trying to make he country better, they will make it more difficult for a new Congress and a new Administration to bring to nation together and rebuild.

Shame on you John McCain and all that follow you for not holding you accountable.

Tim: I'm not going to vote for McCain, but I feel kind of bad for him with that incident. I'm sure he was told by the people he trusted in the campaign that Joe would be there, but obviously they were wrong. It reminds me of times my grandma would start talking about something and no one would have a clue what she was saying. You can't help but feel bad for old people like that sometimes, they have good intentions, but sometimes the communication thing breaks down.

I'll give him a "good attempt" for thinking on his feet when he realized the world was watching, but at the same time "You're all Joe the plumber" made me laugh my @$$ off, but I'm sure it was a hard position to be in and have to think of something to say.

Let’s be perfectly honest, there is only one thing that can save John Mcain now- BEING WHITE. I see and hear a lot of vernom about OBAMA but those who utter such vernom know very well that Senator Obama has said better things than Mcain, by far. At the backdrop of what the GOP has done to the economy and the world at large, I would have expected Mcain to have only one supporter- Cindy Mcain. As for me I vote Obama not because of his skin and mine, but I VOTE A NEW ERA, I VOTE HISTORY( which I will proudly claim to be a part of), I VOTE HOPE, I VOTE CHANGE. Thanks to those white folks out there who don’t look at COLOR. You are the HEROES and GOD bless you.

Please will someone inform America that "Joe" is not a "Plumber".

Please America - do not let the RNC control this country for another 4 years!

CNN – you do realize that there are other legitimate sites out there that have good statistics about this race, right? You're electoral estimates are way off!

I know you want the ratings so you keep it close....well, as close as you can without looking like complete idiots.

This is going to be a landslide and you are all going to act like it's some crazy revelation that this is happening, but the truth is – we already know.

You aren't reporting news – you're trying to get ratings.

And that's as bad as McCain sorry excuse for a campaign.

I see these results fit PERFECTLY with the McCain campaign declaration that the "race is tightening," and predicting a McCain win. What a joke.

Silly Sarah will make more babies – may her tribe multiply
(- unless she is on un christiaN contraceptives)

Go Vote America.

Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08

This is a candidate for the highest office in the world. So childish.

This Map is lovely!!!

May it be true in Jesus name! Amen!!!!!

Obama 08!

McCain voted against our troops MANY times in the senate.

John McCain voted AGAINST 20 million dollars for veteran care facilities.

John McCain voted AGAINST $322 million for safety equipment for our troops in Iraq.

John McCain voted AGAINST $1 billion dollars in new equipment for the National Guard.

John McCain OPPOSED Jim Webb's G.I. Bill.

John McCain voted AGAINST $430 million for veterans outpatient care.

Barack voted FOR all of these troop support initiatives.

They deserve better than McCain.

We deserve better than McCain.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS AND VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

Let's Go Arizonia...you can do it!

Obama/Biden '08-'12

I just hope this sends them a clear message about campaigning and personal attacks having no place in our politics, it doesn't win you vote's! It just re-inforce's some nutcases vote based on fear, it's pathetic, but sadly foxnews still hasn't gotten the memo, thanks to those idiots though Obama/Biden will win the election!

Nicely done Nevada!!!

Tim I am right there with you. It was the best laugh I had in a while. Just priceless. You could hear the crickets in the background when there was no Joe. HAHAHA loved it!

Love this map too.

Just imagine the fun we can all have next year. Sara Palin for President and Joe the Plumber for VP......................LOL

Yea that was funny!!!!! Well you all are Joe the Plumbers, stand up!!! Oh man I spit my food out on that one!!!!

McCain had better keep an eye on Texas too.

It's not over Obama Supporters! Get out and vote and bring your friends, neighbors, family members, and the undecided voters (in hopes that they will vote for obama).

It's not over until the 5th.

The fundamentals of our economy are strong. Four days to go we still don't have Palin's medical records. If McCain can't run a good and desciplined campaign , how the hell can he run our country?

Has a presidential candidate ever lost his home state?

I know Al Gore lost Tennessee in 2000, but he was 8 years removed from representing it in Congress.

Has a sitting governor or legislator ever lost his home state in a presidential election?

Obama is up 26% in his home state of Illinois without having to Campaign.

On the flipside, McCain is clinging to a narrow lead in his home state of AZ (while devoting a significant amt. of campaign resources there).

Yep, I'd say that pretty much sums up the how this election will unfold.

Maybe the Oct. surprise is that JTP is going to be the replacement VP....LOL

John McCain said they are going to win. CNN stop posting these silly things, McCain never lies, I heard he is now measuring for drapes and new rugs, gotta have that.

Americans will not be fooled again.
AZ will be blue!

Uh Oh John. Nevada is now leaning blue. Let's see is we can turn Arizona blue as well.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Any movement in favor of Obama is going in the right direction.

A former Republican who has just cast his vote for Obama/Biden 08

None of this matters until the polls close and the votes are counted....until then, all supposition...

Get out and VOTE!

Cautiously optimistic should be the word. Do not break open the champagne until Tuesday night...

McCain has to defend Arizona...I LOVE IT!

Keep focused voters! Let's get out and make Obama/Biden the winning ticket!

Go vote! Get your friends to vote! Get your family to vote! Get complete strangers to vote!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN – We have a big SURPRISE for the obama gang – we're called the 18 MILLION Hillary supporters – we did NOT unite, support and will NOT vote for obama. We have been quietly watching & waiting for our turn – and the day is near.
(Did they count us as DEMS in the polls – maybe tha't why they are messed up)

VOTE Smart: McCain/Palin

What would it take to make McCain stop saying My friends. WHY doesn't he know by now it is just ANNOYING!!!!!

sounds like odd news right about now...we've all seen this coming, anyway...

Obama/Biden 08

Kina.

Figures that Louisiana is going republican. Such an open-minded state.

My favorite color has always been BLUE! Now my life will no longer be so because the standard-bearer of fear and division will no longer occupy the White House, and it won't be handed over to a wimpy, small and petty brat with his ditzy sidekick still trying to figure out what the vice-president does.

Yeah!.......Of course, I'm an Obama supporter.

Don't forget to say "Thank you, Sir!" when you're issued your new training-wage job.

How you like us now! Got a foothold in your backyard you better run back home and sure up the base or you'll look like a fool for not carrying your own state! Muwahahahah

What an idiot! Hilarious.

Obama 08

Many of the people who live in Arizona know all about McCain's sumptuous life-style, so his "Joe" routine won't work on them. They are worried about the economy and have water concerns, so the environment is an important issue. McCain is rich and oblivious.

I were either of these candidates I would think that there is a conspiracy in the media to make me seasick from all the up and down motion in these polls. Ultimately, they mean nothing. It's the electoral college that counts. Remember, Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 but lost the election. Forget the polls. Vote. Kick the bums out.

Obama the one with the good judgement!

Obama the one with the intelligence!

Obama the one wants to unite us!

Nor more needs to be said!

Obama will give us real change!

Obama for President!

And so it begins........even traditionally RED home state of McCain is tired of the RNC antics which began w/ their "genius we-got-this-in-the-bag" move of choosing Palin as his VP.....THIS IS GREAT!

GOP = Sinking ship.

Don't worry Republicans, we still have plenty of room on the Obama Train. All aboard....Next stop 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Plumbers never come on time...

It would be history making if Obama won 40 states. The Republicans better get it right next time, someone with intelligence and talent, not all smoke.

polling and electoral maps updates, cnn, u guys do those too early before the election, u guys are goin to make yourselves look stupid when your candidate, nobama, doesnt win.

Oh look, another pro-Obama poll brought to you by none other than CNN. What a joke this election process has become – my, if it weren't for the likes of Matthews, Olberman, and the rest of the Left media, I'd have no idea what was fact or fiction. Interesting that all the McCain "hate" commentators on these pro-Obama blogs like CNN "Ticker" use almost the exact same lingo and lines they used for Senator Clinton. Wow, it must be that simply anyone who is opposed to Obama in any way is (all together now): Stupid, Racist, Ignorant, Loser, (fill in the blank). If this is the way of Obama and his child-minded supporters, well then, "Heil Obama." Been there/done that/not cool. btw – this comment brought to you by one of the millions of former life-long Dems thrown under the bus.

I really don't care anymore about CNN's polls because they change every hour, I guess just to make news.

Just vote for OBAMA now or NOV 4th

Joe the Plumber. Let's give it up for Joe. Eh, Eh, Eh!!!! Joe? Is Joe here today? (McCain to himself…Oh crap, he was supposed to be here!!!! Grumble, grumble, grumble!!!) Well you are all Joe the Plumbers!!! I’ve got to give him credit for his comeback, but LOL, that was the funniest thing I've seen in a while!!!! It is so ironic that the McCain campaign is taking on water and the Plumber stood him up!!! I'm on the floor!!!!
