Sen. Barack Obama is looking to change the Electoral College map.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - With just days to go before Election Day, Sen. Barack Obama is warning his supporters that things are going to get unpleasant fast - and that the race will come down to every last vote.

"Don't believe for a second this election is over. Don't think for a minute that power concedes anything. It's gonna get nasty, I'm sure, in the next four days," Obama told a crowd in Columbia, Missouri, on Thursday night.

"They will throw everything at us like they've been doing, and we're gonna have to work like our future depends on it in this last week. You know what? Because it does, and every single young person here tonight - I've gotta have every single one of you voting, and you've gotta grab five more, all of you, have gotta vote," he said.

The warning comes after the Illinois senator said in an interview Thursday night that his campaign was winning - some of the most confident language from Obama since he won the Democratic nomination.

Wow CNN can't handle the proven tough truths about candidates.....

But they will spin that old unproven speculation "FUR YAH"

v.ananthan   October 31st, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Obama can^t show any achievements from his past...

So he says McCAin is Bush so vote for me..

So Pathetic.....

Kim   October 31st, 2008 2:18 pm ET

Well said, DC in AZ.

hurriCAIN PALIN   October 31st, 2008 2:17 pm ET

"it always gets worse before it gets better", and in the end, president mccain will be the outcome.

Elizabeth Ray   October 31st, 2008 2:17 pm ET

THANK YOU DAVID!!!! Well said, we are faced with far to many challenges to be lead by McCain.

Rob   October 31st, 2008 2:15 pm ET

What do you mean GONNA?!?!?!? Obama and all you koolaid drinking minions have made this one of the nastiest campaigns ever. Any woman who believes in all the values the want should be disgusted, ashamed, and motified at your treatment of Sarah Palin, especially those of you who are women. I say should, but you're only concerned about yourselves, so you don't care who you throw under the bus.

I can't wait for McCain to win and all you sorry saps can ramble around wondering why. Why wasn't more of America as dumb as you.

Matt   October 31st, 2008 2:15 pm ET

You would know with all the sleazy people you call you friends and mentors. Keep the change Barack.

Soccer mom from Canada   October 31st, 2008 2:15 pm ET

McCain and Palin are dividing Americans. Palin is dividing Republicans. Neither of these people should be given the responsibility to lead. They have shown they don't know how. Their behavior should not be rewarded. Regardless of who wins on Nov. 4th America's unity will be damaged by their despicable tactics. This is irresponsible given the various problems you are facing.
As your neighbor, I hope and pray for a safe election and a positive outcome. I wish you all peace.

Christine CT Ind   October 31st, 2008 2:14 pm ET

Great post Dave-
I agree with you. It is true, that some of the Obama supporters on here have negative things to say. But from what I can see, McCain and Palin's speeches invoke a great deal of anger, I myself have become angry at the divisive rhetoric and negative attacks.
We all want to see a President who holds up the ideals of this nation as our forefathers envisioned it. Unfortunately, the Limbaughs of this world use the founding fathers as code for their racist and elitist ideals. ONE nation, under God-whoever your God happens to be, if you have one at all. They came for freedom of religion and now I see a nation judging one another based on race, religion, etc. I see a country that, (as they are trying to do in my state) want to re-write the Constitiution to make it legal to discriminate against their fellow Americans because of their sexuality. How did it come to this?I see Barack Obama with a vision and plan to reverse this. He wants to unite us, not divide us. When people laugh at someone's vision of Hope for this country, it makes me very sad.
Without hope and a positive message, what do we have left?

Dan   October 31st, 2008 2:14 pm ET

To Gary (1:09):

A few things ...

1. Please, for the love of God, lay off the caps lock. It doesn't enhance your already weak argument.

2. I like how you say that Obama will only bring "worst wars." First of all, that's terrible grammar; it makes no sense. Second, isn't McCain the one who wants to keep us in the Middle East?

3. You call Obama supporters "naive little puppets full of hate," but your post is one of the most hateful things I've read on this site all day. I'm willing to listen all day to McCain supporters that actually use policies and coherent arguments to support their choices; you use neither. Instead, you resort to what amounts to calling Obama supporters "poopyheads."

BJ in NC   October 31st, 2008 2:13 pm ET

The Republican attack machine already makes me feel that I need to shower at least 4 times a day.

Mike   October 31st, 2008 2:13 pm ET

National Healthcare. Let me tell you less informed what that means. National healthcare means lowering the payments to physicians and facilities. That means they will provide healthcare, but reduce their cost. Reducing cost means inferior products. Inferior products means decreasing positive outcomes for patients. Lets see, I'm the best physician in the region, I can provide for well paying private insurers or struggle with high volume low paying national healthcare payers, I think I will go with quality of life and see fewer payers with more money in return. American's can be played like no others. Good look on your vote.

Brian   October 31st, 2008 2:12 pm ET

Please please please young people, old people, middle aged people, PLEASE VOTE! The MCCain campaign is counting on low-turnout by youth and black votes to win in their narrow victory strategy. PLEASE vote. Skip school, play sick, do whatever you have to do to vote. Stand in line, bring a book, your iPod, your patience and please let's close the deal for Barack. I am confident in Obama's ground game but we all know that the Republicans are very good at getting the vote out as well. Witness their 72-hr strategy over the past two elections that produced 2 narrow victories. Let's show everyone that we Dems and crossover Republicans (thank you by the way), can turn out too. If young people, black people and others do not turn out in the swings like VA, NC, OH, FL, CO, NV, PA and MO, then we lose. Very simple. Please vote early if you can so that you can help others on election day by giving rides, knocking on doors, making phone calls, etc. Ok, I have go on long enough, but PLEASE PLEASE VOTE! (I would, as an American, tell The GOP members to vote, but they don't need any convincing or prodding). Low turnout= President McCain and soon after that President Palin. :-/

Geo Joe in ABQ   October 31st, 2008 2:11 pm ET

Going to get ugly? It's already been ugly! We have seen and heard it all.

Patricia in Las Vegas   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

The nastier the Republicans get, the more I donate to the Obama Campaign! Gave $150 last week and hope to give $250 this week. Investment in my country's future, investment in my future, investment in my children's future.

Beverly, NYC   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

What is it with the Republican candidates this year? They like abusing in power so much they will do or say anything to keep it, I'm talking about you Libby Dole, John McCain, & Sarah Palin feeling entitled much? And their supporters are no better, Ashely Todd, Joe the plumber, and any McCain spokesperson named Tucker to name a few. I saw the inevitable Jeremiah wright by one of the 527 groups on CNN, I love the smell of desperation!!!

Calling all registered voters18-35, please don't wait until the last minute, if your state has early voting lets see you represent. I

IT'S YOUR FUTURE!!!

Diane   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Sean Hannity needs to be pulled off the air, both T.V. and radio. His total, sole purpose right now is to discredit Barack Obama and he doesn't care who is in the way. He is so afraid that B. Obama might win, you can hear the urgency in his voice. He is so vicious, it is disgusting. Let's get out and vote I can't wait until Wednesday when B. Obama wins to hear what all the conservative talk show mouth pieces will have to say. Lets shut them up once and for all. Get out and vote.

beth in WA   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Obama and Biden are a breath of fresh air which has been desperately needed in America for the last 8 years! They are both more than ready to meet the challenges demanded of the next president and vice president for the next four years.

The last 8 years have brought nothing but gloom and doom, depression and poverty, lack of leadership, little to no foreign policy, two wars that need to end, a failing health care system, and a broken economy not witnessed since the Great Depression of the 1920's.

The fact that WE NEED CHANGE couldn't be more obvious!! Obama and Biden can and will bring about the changes so desperately needed for America. So Americans, do your part!! GET OUT AND VOTE on November 4th . . . OBAMA and BIDEN!

Educated   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Dear GED Guy–Guess what, I have 2 undergraduate and a Master degree and I intelligently voted for Obama-Biden yesterday. Your lack of education shows when you comment on Socialism. There have been elements of Socialism in our country for decades. Why don't you try doing a little research before you make such senseless commentary? You are deluded if you think you are living in a democracy. Look it up!

RG   October 31st, 2008 2:09 pm ET

Already voted for Obama! Please everyone go and cast your vote. It is your individual right and responsibility!

Holding my breath until 270 are reached becasue we all know anything can happen.

Arthur James   October 31st, 2008 2:08 pm ET

If only he knew as much about integrity as he knows about nasty.

Jeff in Denver   October 31st, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Reply to GED's Really work and his notion that Obama supporters are less educated.......Google most educated states and get the facts.
Top 10 most educated are all Blue states to include former red states of Colo and Virginia. Top 10 least educated states are all red states. Also you will notice that income per capita goes hand in hand with the level of education. I tell you what, beyond these facts, just look at any McCain/Palin rally and see the some of the most ignorant and racist people on the planet. Now I am not saying that many republicans are not affluent or well educated, but they have not been the ones the GOP neocons have been catering to to win elections with their fear and smear tactics.

GJD   October 31st, 2008 2:08 pm ET

Look out Virginia, flyers out telling Repubs to vote on the 4th and Dems to vote on the 5th.
Can you believe this crap.
I'm sure it was a misprint!!
If you can't vote early, you vote on Tuesday the 4th.
Don't be fooled. Go out and vote.

Lynn in NM   October 31st, 2008 2:07 pm ET

"Gonna get nasty"????? This election cycle, starting 4 years ago, has been absolutely disgusting on everyone's part. Snoopy or Maxine could do a better job at running a campaign than any of the candidates have done. We need new election laws. No campaigning until 30 days before the election. At that time, they can declare they are running. 30 days later, we have the election. That's it. That gets rid of all the trash that we have to put up with for 4 years.

Mari   October 31st, 2008 2:07 pm ET

God Bless America! God Bless Obama!

mstercor   October 31st, 2008 2:07 pm ET

please people get out and vote! this election is so important. i want to have hope for my 10 yr old sons future. there is no hope with john mccain. the only way to go is

obama/biden

Ken   October 31st, 2008 2:06 pm ET

Obama should not count his chickens before they hatch!

WAKE UP AMERICA! We cannot allow Obama to win for then we will end up having a president that has NO experience, NO talent, NO skills and NO knowledge to bring us out of the mess that Bush got us into.

Obama's connections to some un-American people, surely makes me wondering what is Obama's true plan for this country.

Who you think pays our Postal Mail Service, Firemen, Police, Our Teachers, Schools and Libraries???? OUR GOVERMENT (with tax payers money)

- Now, that's what Socialism is all about, is always been a part of our lives and still we hear from GOPs it's Bad and scares us to death.
So, if McCain wins, we are going to stop having this services for being social programs???

Furthermore, Since when Helping the Poor is called Socialism???
- Jesus himself was a Socialist.

Now, go Educate yourself, Read, Research and THEN VOTE!!!

Mr. Obama, then you are lucky to be here today. You do not understand the value of a human life, your mother did.
What happened, you sold your sole….

You have sealed my vote for McCain.

One day, each of you claiming white racism please take a visit to Memphis, TN. You will get the full effects of racism in American. Just be aware that reverse racism is alive and well. You will also see the full effects of a government run society. As one of our radio people in Memphis says each day to callers, glad to see you didn't get shot today.

Its ok to go and spend millions of dollars on infomercials like that oxi-clean guy, but everyone is in a uproar over some dresses..? C'mon guys and gals, wake up – Obama is dirty Salesman.

Pete   October 31st, 2008 2:04 pm ET

"Hey, Veterans for Obama, good post….I couldn't agree more…."

I think you mena Veteran for Obama, there can not possibly be more than one.

reality2   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

And to those complaining about all the money Obama has raised – do you honestly believe it would be a smart move for him to stop campaigning and start giving his money away to Hillary or those running in the Senate/Congress BEFORE the election is over? Please tell me the rationale in that.

Do you honestly believe it's okay for him to think that b/c he's four points ahead in the polls he can go ahead and top campaigning – nevermind that he's black and with racism in this country still alive, he has to work 10x harder for people not to be "scared" of him. He needs every penny he can get in order to get past the vile stupidity and ignorance that will try to stop his victory on 11/4.

Thank God he doesn't have folks like you as his strategists.

Lu   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

How can you make your decision on who to vote for by a person's name, bb? What are you thinking????? Have you looked at the issues, and even if you did, why would you put up a post like that? Yes, his middle name is HUSSEIN.....SO WHAT? Grow up already!

We are about to see history.....I hope you single minded republicans enjoy the benefits of the Obama presidency!

GingerinSD   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Why should the last few days be any different then the entire dirt road campaign the gop have followed...make your heart feel good and do the right thing on Tuesday...vote for Obama.

Sam SixPack   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

We've got those Republicans on the run!

Just look at them scurry away like rats with all their obscene wealth in their greedy little paws!

We don’t need their lousy demeaning jobs. We will soon live in dignity – on tax refunds.

Dan   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

To bob (1:48):

It's funny that you call Obama a "snake of an oil salesman" when it's McCain's policies that will help line the pockets of big oil.

Janet, American Abroad   October 31st, 2008 2:03 pm ET

Its going to nasty, for only one reason The McCain/Palin campaign can not win clean.....We truly feel for those Republicans who are truly Good Conservatives willing to vote with their own issues at heart and not twisted Lies, Deceptions and Distractions.

When people research and self educated themselves with real facts, then they will know the difference between the two campaigns.
Listening to media reports,( right, left or center), without taking time to make an truly EDUCATED (not narrow minded uneducated ) decision. In this age of information we have to sift through the B.S. and find the FACTS!

Pete   October 31st, 2008 2:02 pm ET

He forgot to throw in the "and did I mention he's black" comment

What a uniter.

Kenny G   October 31st, 2008 2:02 pm ET

Obama supporters I will tell you this and please remember it
"An Incubated chick will follow anything"...just keep that in mind and apply it if it fits.

Pete   October 31st, 2008 2:01 pm ET

Yep, the left is threatening a second civil war if Obama doesn't win. They are predicting blood in the streets. How nice. How Patriotic. How creepy?

Also, Obama is throwing all reporters off of his plane from newspapers who support McCain. How nice. How Patriotic. How Creepy?

Change you can beliee in.

Independent but Leaning   October 31st, 2008 2:00 pm ET

Probably going to get nasty becasue Obama tells his fans to "get in people's faces." Sounds pretty aggressive.

Coco   October 31st, 2008 2:00 pm ET

I would like for everyone to step back now and take a deep breath. C'mon people, whoever you are voting for, vote for them. There is no need for name-calling or nastiness. Intelligent debate or shut up.

Brenda C   October 31st, 2008 1:59 pm ET

It's a shame most liberals don't know how to read. This is the most dishonest and vile man I've witnessed in my life. Never does he answer a question about his past. I guess when he loses and drops his chin into his chest that will be your sign to start your rioting? I just hope he's instructed all of you uneducated idiots to drink the kool-aid after your riots. Just follow him to the kool-aid ...

McCain/Palin REAL AMERICANS

California Girl   October 31st, 2008 1:59 pm ET

If it were possible to make me ashamed of this country, the actions of the politicians running for office would do it. My father was a life-long republican and I am sure he is spinning in his urn at this point at the shennanigans of his party. It makes me feel almost physically ill when I have to hear the lies and vitriol. Our leaders should be trying to make this country better, not fill it with hateful lies and innuendo.

Tired of the Nonsense   October 31st, 2008 1:58 pm ET

McCain wants to bring back the draft.....young people please make sure this doesn't happen....vote Obama.

ADAM   October 31st, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Dont vote for Obama. Vote for McCain.

Noah   October 31st, 2008 1:58 pm ET

You Liberals are so out of your mind. The Obama camp is already telling you not to get unrealistic hopes up if he becomes President. Now that they believe they will win they are already changing their tune and admitting they cannot accomplish anywhere near what they have promised. What a bunch of liars.

Mike   October 31st, 2008 1:58 pm ET

Only thing thats nasty to me is a community organizer and a junior senator might be the next president of the US

Lisa   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I imagine it will get uglier. All McCain ever talks about is Obama, I wish he would change his tune, he is so gross!!!! " I will not take the low road to the highest office in the country" what about that little tid bit John McMud???

Helene   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Nasty ? What else can the Republicans, the McCainistas, the appaling Palin can do besides jumping off the cliff ?

Kerri   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Face it....the trends are headed in the wrong direction right now. Obama keeps changing the "if you make under $$$$$ per year, your taxes won't go up" promise. An interview between Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw was very telling. "We really don't know much about Barak Obama". He is very liberal. If you are liberal you should vote for him. If you are moderate to conservative, vote for McCain.

Julie in Texas   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

I can not wait for Nov 4th to finally come and go. I am so tired of hearing Sen McCain and Gov Palin, over and over repeat untruths and misleading statements that have been disputed and corrected time and time again. Are they really that desperate for the White House or do they think the American people lack common sense?

Stick to the issues that of which you can make a difference for me and my country and stop all this school yard name calling.

Anonymous   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

Please not McCain. I was undecided until I saw McCain on Larry King Wednesday night. My God, this man is a moron. We need “radical” change. However, a president is not the true power in the U.S., the CFR, the Bilderberg group is in charge and makes policy. So comfortable we get to allow are freedoms to be control by so few. Obama, McCain, what does it really matter? It, our country, our policies, our lives are control by a few families that don’t care anything about us, it has been a plan in the making for a long time. Our country, politicians and to even each of us are corrupt and corrupted. Terrorist are not a threat near as much as the men at the top, our complacency and the greed that has enveloped nearly all of each of us. Change is need, big change, no more politics, no more lobbyist, no more super rich no more very poor.

Why can't SC turn to a blue state   October 31st, 2008 1:57 pm ET

It is not over until the fat lady sings. I don't hear any choirs. I am just wondering if this is going to end up being another George Bush election and wins by cheating and lying his way into the White House or is he and the poll workers for McCain going to play by the rules fair and square? I will be on the edge of my seat until 270 is reached. And by the way if he is so not race baised why is his state the only one in the nation that DOES NOT celebrate King Day????

Tired of W, OH   October 31st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

@Shaheed

Obama's a smart man. He and his advisors know that they're going to need all the cash they have to fight the blatent lies and smears that will come from the RNC during these last 4 days. It's better to use the cash they have than regret not using it later.

I'm going to vote early tomorrow and it's going to feel great to be able to finally cast my ballot for President Barack Obama.

Carol   October 31st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

If you are going to post on CNN, shouldn't at least read their fact check? You're wrong about Obamas days of experience before declaring his candidacy. Go to CNN's fact check and read.

Of course the truth doesn't seem to matter to so many of the McCain supporters. Rhetoric that insights fear, anger and ignorance seems to appeal the most.

Bob   October 31st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

It's been ugly so far, but the McPalin campaign has yet to pull out a true "Willie Horton" moment. Look for them to do something like that now. With only a few days left they've already shifted from ordinary lies to blatant lies, and they gave up having any shame a long time ago. So I fully expect they'll trot out a whopper and win or lose they'll stall explaining themselves until after the election, if at all.

I don't know if it's funny, or just sad, but if they can't run a campaign any better than this, and if they chop and change their messages and their platform to suit the polls, this suggests that McPalin shouldn't be trusted to run the Executive branch of our government.

Nate Hussein   October 31st, 2008 1:56 pm ET

Socialism isn't a bad thing, see you local fire dept, police, WIC, and SOCIAL Security. You repugs try to turn it as something negative, just like McPalins entire campaign....negative.

To Tulsa – yes we do have a brain in our head and that is exactly the reason more than half of Americans will vote for Barack Obama. What I find amazing is that there are so many of you who will continue to vote Republican – I am reminded of the old saying " Don't confuse me with the facts, my mind is made up"
But don't worry, the changes that are coming wil benefit even the Republicans. Who knows, we may even find Peace breaking out around the world.

franklin   October 31st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

I have been undecided now for a few weeks and after reading some of the comments below its a shame to hear how you all feel/talk about mccain.
it seems the only real ignorant people are those with these ignorant comments....i certainly don't want to categorize myself with those that act and talk like most of you democrats below... instead of bad mouthing the other person, why don't you give people a reason to vote for someone...something positive and stop all the negative talk about the person you are not voting for.
thanks. franklin

dave harlow   October 31st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

He needs the young folks. Every young person in my office has a glazed over look in their eyes when they talk about Obama... he has got these kids kind of mesmerized. This won't last... if this election was at the end of Nov it would be greatly different....pardon the pun and this is not meant to be racist at all...but his true color is starting to show through.

GED's Really Work!   October 31st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

No one is trying to convince McCain supporters of anything, we already know our candidate.

Perhaps, we like McCain!
Perhaps, we like Bush!
Perhaps, we respect McCain!
Perhaps, we are financially secure, and what concerns others, is NOT our #1 issue.
Perhaps we are educated and currently employed!

Voting is personal, and the Economy is NOT my #1 issue.

McCain is aligned more with the agendas and policies that I am concerned about!!!!

I really hope that people that think like you are the way of extinction.

Let's come together, we are ALL brothers and sisters.

Let's return HOPE to America.

PLEASE PLEASE VOTE Obama/Biden 2008

Peggy - TX   October 31st, 2008 1:55 pm ET

This is one of those critical times history where the many depend on the courage and determination of a few.

For all of you who took paid time off from work to vote, for those who stood in long lines for hours and hours, for those who stood in the cold and those who stubbornly stood your ground when told you could not vote because of a technicality that was out side of your control –I want you to know that each and every one of are my hero – Thank you.

If this election is stolen, like it was eight years ago, then the deaths of so many, who fought for freedom, will have been in vain and the America of our collective ideals would just be an illusion

Obama/Biden ‘08

ines   October 31st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

America can be proud of the way Obama has run his campaign. McCain could stand to take a LOT of lessons from Obama to improve his honor, integrity, and character.

IowaMom   October 31st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

CentralPA – Really you think Fox News is counter-balanced? I very much disagree. I see nothing but republican blood running rampant over there. Although honestly, I don't see any of them as truly unbiased media.

Retired Veteran from New York City, NY   October 31st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

This is for Tom and Gail on the blog!

Idiots like you two that voted twice for Bush and Cheney and ultimately ruin this great Nation like it is today. You should have enough courage to stand up and bear certain responsibility for your ignorance. Remember, America is an intellectual Nation where Knowledge overrides Ignorance. You and Gail can vote for McCain, that won't be enough to help him the landslide or avalanche that's going to happen on Tuesday night. Yes we will win! Obama/Biden 08.

Hopemonger   October 31st, 2008 1:54 pm ET

There are lots of reasons that I am voting for Obama, but the primary one is that I have hope that he may be able to calm the partisan waters and get us talking to one another again. Both parties seem to have hardened at their furthest right and left sides and the vast majority of us in the middle can't even hold a civil conversation with each other. These comments and many other that I have seen make me inexpressibly sad. I thought we were all Americans, but apparently, some people believe they are more American than others.

Let's respect each other.

A Woman In California For Obama   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Please, please, please young people VOTE. This is a defining year. If you don't want to go and DIE in McCain's wars, go out and vote. This country needs a new direction and this may be our only chance for quite some time.

DC in AZ   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

"Imagine all the people
Living life in peace..."

This can start with us. Obama can be the first in a line of new political leaders to reshape this nation back into global prominance. The US is supposed to lead this world by example and by economic power. He's right things must change but they must change BACK to a way they were. I knwo everyone here, including McCainiacs, feel like things need to change but McCain is not new, he's not different and he'll bring nothing we haven't already seen in this nation.
New type of leader for this new millenium we are in. It's unfortunate it started with W at the helm but we have many many decades to go and we can imrpove our future by choosing Obama now. Think ahead, think of your kids and their kids, it has to start now to be different in 10-20+ years.

Sorry, I'm just excited. I hope this happens (I'm voting for it). I want those who vote for McCain to enjoy the fruits of an Obama Administration as well.

SEN OBAMA, WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITH FUL SERVANT

FL for OBAMA   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

McCain-Palin and their far right extremists are already running one of the nastiest campaigns ever (ad nauseam). Eight is ENOUGH.

No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin

Obama/Biden
Decency '08

Patty in the CA mountains   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

Hey, Veterans for Obama, good post….I couldn't agree more….

And as for the "Bradley Effect"….it's gonna work opposite this time….there are many out there who can't/won't, for whatever reason, admit in public that they would vote for Obama, but when they are in the voting booth making their choice the check mark will go next to his name.

Pat - Overland Park, KS   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

I do not understand why Senator McCain keeps rolling out "Joe, the plumber". He is a fraud. He cannot buy a business, he is not a licensed plumber and up until a week or so ago was not even registered to vote. But as a matter of fact "Joe, the plumber" would do better with Senator Obama's tax plan than Senator McCain's.

2nd of all keep in mind if you have have employee provided health benefits, Senator McCain wants to add this to your income and tax it. You never see that money, but you are going to get taxed for it. The health care system that Senator Obama wants will be much better for everybody than Senator McCain's.

If you want to war to end and bring our kids home from an unwinable war then Senator Obama should be your choice. I heard Gov. Palin state we are winning in Iraq. If I had a dime for everytime I heard that one, I'd be rich. The only reason that is, is because we are paying people not to shoot at us. If we didn't have to pay for this priviledge we be home by now.

It's the Economy. McCain will continue the same policies we have had the last 8 years. Get out and vote.

Obama/Biden '08

David   October 31st, 2008 1:53 pm ET

It's too bad that campaigns go negative.

I would like to see McCain offer up something positive to Obama instead of attacking him.

I do not see why I should vote for someone who needs to and unfairly attacks his opponent. My question is why can't McCain give us a reason to vote for him other than by telling not to trust Obama. I won't vote for McCain just because was in the military and in a pow camp for five years.

What is McCain hiding behind all of his attacks on Obama.

When I see and read about Obama I see a man who likes to know as much as he can about things so that he is informed and can make an informed decision. McCain reacts with hotheadedness and that is not an intelligent way to deal with things. You disagree with McCain and he gets angry.

Obama is cool and level headed and can react intelligently to things.

Obama may have known questionable characters and that shoudl not be the issue. How he interacts with them is a more way to define Obama. From what I see he interacts with these people and tries to see and figure out how and why they think the way they do. By doing this, he can better deal with them and as he knows where they are coming from. He can argue with them and better defend is own viewpoints and perhaps convince them that they are wrong in their way of thinking. This is an important quality when it comes to interacting with foreign leaders.

McCain does not appear to have this ability-he will argue, get mad and then attack someone who disagrees with him.

Obama is a god candidate to be president and will bring calm to world. Foreign leaders and terrorists do not see him as week or a push-over they see him as someone who can calm the rhetoric and provide a cooler approach to US foreign policy matters.

Quit being racist and bigoted and look objectively at Obama, look past his skin colour and vote with in an educated and informed way.

McCain should not be your educator on what to think about Obama, think for yourselves.

McCain is a Republican and very similar in thinking as Bush-don't be fooled!

The world will not come to end because Obama is elected. November 5th will be a brighter day because of it. Honestly, look at how Obama speaks, we are the United States of America.

Dave from Canada   October 31st, 2008 1:52 pm ET

Veterans for Obama You are right on the money, folks. The rest of you McCain boosters should go back and check his actual military record and speak to his fellow soldiers. They have no use for the "pampered, spoiled, selfish, brat whatsoever. Just ask them. I know you can't criticize a soldier if you are American, it's considered unpatriotic, but I'm Canadian and can speak freely. Go ahead, check with some soldiers who served with McCain! I dare you. He's a sorry excuse for a war hero. He's a legend in his own mind!

JJ   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Obam show us what you got. We are behind you all the way. We want victory and victory is what you will give us. Go Obama Go Obama.

Steve in Las Vegas,NV   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Of course it's going to be nasty...But If any disgusted Republican wants to they can vote for HOPE & CHANGE, not a really fouled up McShame/Failin campaign with a list of noname spokespeople.

The ship of state will have a captain who knows what he is doing, and crew with real experience! NO McSame /Failin!!! They will run the ship of state into the rocks

Captain Obama to the helm!!! VOTE!!!!!

Larry   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Obama's right ,for once,Republicans HAVE GOT TO VOTE,if we're going to have any chance of getting through the tough times ahead,we have to have JOBS,taxing employers is only going to make it more difficult than it is now,but maybe imposable .

Obama says he loves jobs but hates employers

FreeNLovIt   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Do you want to starve? 8 years of disastrous economic experience should be enough... Vote for the donkey....

And what's up with GM merging with Chrysler? This is a SHAME. Why are our TAXPAYERS money used to provide WELFARE to all these companies? They're not hiring. They're firing and keeping the MONEY to themselves...

Someone stop these CROOKS..

christopher in denver   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

The one thing that truely separates this man (Obama) from every other candidate in our lifetime is the simple fact that he is a self made man. No "birthright" here...no silver spoon in his mouth...and while it's true that he is a politician and prone to the message of his party, I believe that he really "gets it". No bull, real conversations, and I believe that he brings a real opportunity for substanitial change and growth. So, let;'s just make sure that everyone we know votes...and let's change the world!

Dave in Houston   October 31st, 2008 1:51 pm ET

Game over, man. And the Republicans won! Wha?!

The Bush-Cheney Administration was not about a sustainable permanent Republican government. It's a take-the-money-and-run scheme, and being able to drag our economy into the dumps while running away with $700 billion seems like a pretty good haul.

Now, the Democrats get to clean up after 8 years of Bush corruption and fraud masked by incompetence and arrogance, and the puppet-masters behind Bush-Cheney are laughing all the way to the banks they own and we are paying for.

reality   October 31st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I don't understand the continued "just wait and see" argument that Obama is going to take everyone's money away. Have any of you making this claim read a paper...or your 401K statement in the last few months? The Republicans are the ones that have taken everything we've worked hard for over the last 8 years. Getting a tax break didn't make this a better country and having Obama put everything back to the way it was (again – read this – the way it was) will only make it better.

Robert   October 31st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

I voted yesterday morning in a suburb of Atlanta, GA for Obama/Biden. I only waited 2 hours because I got there at 7:30 A.M. People are waiting 3-4 hours in the cold to vote and that has been true all week all over metro Atlanta. Most of the people are African-American and young. I can only imagine what is going on in the inner city where most of the black population lives. Don't believe the polls. Georgia is going blue and nationally it will be a landslide.

Renne in pa   October 31st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

The more reason for me to give another donation. I don't care how nasty McLame gets he will never get my vote. He had an hour of free air time with Larry King & all he did was complain & attack Obama. Get over yourself. If I have to wait on line for 12 hours I will. I am taking the day off to vote & volunteer.

I have never seen such horrible, negative, ugly campaign ran in my life. Thanks John McCain! You and Gov. Diva have succeeded in bringing the USofA to an entirely new low. You should be so proud of yourselves!

I ***proudly*** cast my vote for Barack Hussein Obama early last week, and look forward to another era of peace and prosperity in America.

Kerri   October 31st, 2008 1:50 pm ET

October 31st, 2008 1:23 pm ET
Just by reading these comments I can already see how Obama is pulling everyone together for a greater nation. Oh wait, that is only if you are an Obama supporter, if not you seem to be an idiot. I would love to see Obama win, I will be the first one to buy the bumper sticker in two years from now that says I didn't vote for him. That is only if I can get one before they sell out or if I can buy one after all my money is gone from my taxes to pay the slackers even more to stay at home and wait for their welfare check.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hey Tom, why don't you make some bumber stickers up and try to sell them. LOL! Obama is going to be the best President in history. He is going to be the standard for what Presidents are measured by from now on!

Obama/Biden – YES WE CAN. VOTE VOTE VOTE

Not So Delusional   October 31st, 2008 1:49 pm ET

Oh Tom.. Shame on you. I sure hope you don't have any kids watching you type that garbage.

First of all, everyone who does not vote for Obama is NOT an idiot. I am a Republican and a Veteran and I proudly (at the time) voted for Bush, twice. However, this time, instead of voting for my party, I'm voting for my country. What i sense from you and a lot of Republican friends is that you just have your Red blinders up.

Second, you are an idiot if you believe that ANY president can get us out of the mess we're in within 2 years. As a matter of fact, you can bet it will get MUCH worse before it gets better. The question is, who do you want driving it. McCain and Palin. Uhm, no way. I voted for Bush. I won't make that mistake for a 3rd time.

You may want to take your blinders off for a minute or two and think about what you are doing, before you do it. Otherwise, your no better than Bush, McCain or Palin.

What has THE ONE done to prove to you supporters that he canchange ANYTHING> All he does is talk that's it. He is as crooked as they come. Talk to Hillary supporters how he cheated her out of the nomination. You people are so brainwashed it is pathetic. He is not better for the country. The country is more divided than ever – You vote for Obama or you are a rascist. Nonsense. From when did the US HAVE ONE PARTY? People are free to vote for whoever they choose. Does that make you a rascist. ? It is okay for 95% of African Americans to vote for Obama but it is not alright for white people to vote for McCain. I am surprised that he asked Bill Clinton to campaign with him when he was also called a RASCIST. I cannot wait for theis election to be over and if THE ONE wins good luck to the USA WE ARE GOING TO NEED IT.

Karen - Missouri   October 31st, 2008 1:46 pm ET

I'm so sick of McCain and Dive VP being so nasty and spreading lies and dividing this country. Not ONCE has McCain detailed anything remotely different that any Republican politicians of the past century.

It's time for a younger, more creative, more intelligent President to take this country forward. And I am SO impressed that so many countries absolutely are rooting for Obama/Biden team! And Obama/Biden is the ONLY team that can take this country FORWARD and improve our standing in the world.

McCain has been so nasty, so belligerent, so deceitful...no one can EVER trust McCain again! That goes for Diva Alaska, too. That also means no other country can ever trust McCain (same as Bush).

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 YES WE CAN....AND WE WILL!

If you are worried about your future, and you darn well should be, staying home on election day won't do you much good.

I am 67, retired white female teacher, and I worked on Robert Kennedy's campaign up to the day he died. I have NEVER missed an election, local, state or national, and never will unless I can't write.

Here in Oregon we vote by mail. Why other states don't do this is beyond my comprehension.

VOTE, KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kerri   October 31st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Obama is toast. McCain will win becasue the real news is finally starting to get out. Don't believe the polls becasue they are manipulated and designed to make you think that this election is already over. If the polls don't show at least a 12% lead for him by election day, he's done.

Bill Clinton Knows Obama is not ready   October 31st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Vegas Barbie for Obama   October 31st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

After hearing Palin say this morning at a speech in PA that "this is not negative campaigning, you all just have a right to know how terrible Obama is" in so many words, it looks as though the Repubs will continue to take it to the dirt and mud until the very last day. They have been ugly all along and Sen. Obama has handled all with quiet grace and dignity. It will be so nice to see him elected to the Presidency on Nov. 4!

Chris   October 31st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Tom: "Just by reading these comments ...." – You could cover up your "I didn't vote for Bush" sticker...but wait...you DID vote for Bush...just like all fair-weather Republicans...you don't accept any blame for the past 8 years....YOUR leadership has gotten us all to the point where "those slackers...on welfare"...will be all of us! You guys did such a good job selecting Bush twice...why not give you another chance?? Nice.

shahid   October 31st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Even inside Obama's campaign, some of his people already feel that everything is just about Obama. With over $600 millions raised for the Democratic campaign, Obama has not given any to help out with campaigning at Congress or Senate level or even help out with Clinton's debt. All money has been poured into Obama's image. $600 millions!!! Another example was Wed night 30-MINUTE speech.

The most liberal and egotistic candidate ever. You don't help the people sitting in the wagon by screwing the one pulling it. That's the message to all liberals. After hours of pulling the wagon, when refreshment comes, the people sitting in the wagon get it first. What a deal.

America, please vote rationally, not emotionally.

Once the country turns into a socialist state, it's nearly impossible to bring back the true American values and spirits.

Georgia Girl   October 31st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Tom- if you are going to critisize obama plan, know the facts. He is giving tax breaks to working americans, he was raised by people who worked hard to get ahead in life, his WHITE mother was on welfare for a time then worked hard to get off and worked 3 jobs to give him a great educaiton.. I know your KKK leaders Palin and Mccain have given you that BS that Obama is going to give money to people who don't work, who are on welfare and we all know the vision you get is a black person, but why don't you take a minute to see what his plans are about and listen to this educated man before you open your mouth.

Danny in Chicago   October 31st, 2008 1:44 pm ET

Obviously you haven't done any research on your own.

This is why McCain is losing. You don't understand what RESEARCH is. All you do is throw talking point after talking point out there. We've all heard that crap already and we all know it's not true.

You are behind the times and you underestimate the power of the internet.

There is a reason why the entire world is praying for Obama. We have no previous bias as Republicans or Democrats. We can fairly evaluate each candidate on his platform alone. Not only are we confident that he will restore the honor and respect of the United Staes of America to the once revered status it held, but if anyone can relieve the world tension in the middle East, Russia and all other worrisome parts of the world, Obama can. This learned, articulate man deserves your vote America! The rest of the world is counting on you to make the right decison this time. Remember as a CDN we cannot vote, but the mistakes you make affect my income, my savings, my job, my family -just as much as yours.

What ever you got, bring it!! All the lies, all the smears, burn up the phone lines with robo phone calls, what ever you got, bring it. Because that is all you have, you have no response to the issues, the needs of the American people, our occupation of IRAQ (and that is what it is/occupation). We stand firm, we will vote, we will give, we call our friends and our enemies....if we loose it won't be because we did not give everything we had and played a respectful game. But if we win...look back and think...and remember we did better!! OBAMA 2008!!

Did anybody else have the same extreme misfortune that I had this morning of seeing good ole Morning Joe Scarborough running a piece about how hateful Democrats are toward Republicans. Yes you heard me right…how hateful D’s are toward R’s.

It had to be the single most wildly out-of-proportion thing I have ever seen in my life.

I watch CNN Now. I was stunned by foxnews hannity that he is allowed to spread hate and speak the way he does I could not believe hannity

they should fire him and others just like they fired imus It is disgusting and my kids happen to be channel flipping and saw it. where the president of Fox news they should be fired

Who ever wrote this is telling the whole truth nothing but the truth 'It's gonna get nasty' in final days before election". America will show how racism is still a live and doing very well in America today. We as a country or nation have people dying to build a democracy in Iraq, building school ,roads and hospitals talking free the people of Iraq. Look at the racism in this election, fine example for the world to see. Go Obama/Biden

VAMomof3 for Obama   October 31st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

bb – You really are mad that you all are behind. It shows in your tone. But you need to get some education mindless one. President Barack Hussein (in Swahile – "that one") Obama is just what this country needs. Maybe you need to leave the country especially if you're not for bringing us all together, oh devisive one. Just like McShame and Palin.

milo   October 31st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Get nasty?

It has been nasty pretty much since the Republican national convention.

Pat in IL   October 31st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Anybody who thinks a "freeze" on government spending until they figure it out absolutely doesn't know how things work. Such a freeze would have dire consequences for almost everyone in the country. What about government pensions? What about social security payments? What abot Medicare? What about disability payments? What about any government employee's paychecks? If any one of those funds are "frozen"...and that's just for starters.... for any period of time, the wave effects will touch every person in some way. The McCain/Palin ticket is way more than ridiculous....it's dangerous, divisive and will roll us back into becoming very close to becoming a third world country.

cindy   October 31st, 2008 1:41 pm ET

Wake up American people, you finally wil be getting the best President of your life, go and vote for Obama, is it so hard to understand, you finaly got the right man for the job. Here is an honest man,support him and go out and vote.

it's truely sad to sit and read this mess about republicans , Mcain has no plans for economy , better yet he wants to continue down the same economic path as Bush , and people are actually ok with that , look at our standing around the world at home it is a discrace and yet people out there want to keep things just the way they are ......are you freakin kiddin me.......................get into the 21st century

Geez   October 31st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

I find it so amusing that McCain/Palin supporters have to highlight Barack Obama's middle name as if it's some sort of Scarlet Letter (if they even know what that means). Come on! We don't pick our parents nor our names. I'm sure that 47 years ago, his parents knew that there would be an Iraqi dictator named Saddam Hussein, so they named him that. Are you all really that STUPID???

This WHITE, former Republican voted early in FLORIDA for Obama. He's a true leader, gentleman, and visionary for my children. The only reason the polls are close is RACISM is alive and well in the USA. The world is watching and scratching their heads. They've progressed...it's time for us to catch up.

VOTE! VOTE EARLY!! VOTE TODAY!!!

Concerned in MA   October 31st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Obama is saying these things because in the last week before an election, people take a good hard look at the candidate.

When anyone takes a good hard look at Obams, they soon realize McCain is a FAR better choice.

Brendan H., San Antonio, TX   October 31st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

McCain, as Chariman of the IRI authorized $450,000 in funds for Khalidi. Obama taught at the same school and is acquianted with Khalidi. McCain gave him cash, but Obama is the real problem here because he "knew" the guy?!

Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, belong/belonged to a seccessionist group, AIP, in Alaska, a very anti-American group. Obama has a fire and brimstone preacher, which means Obama is an extremeist, while Sarah and Todd are just "expressing" themselves, right?!

Problem here is that trash plays out in the rural communities in this country.

Michelle D. - Atlanta, GA   October 31st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Desparation isn't pretty. You could see it in McCain's face this morning on GMA talking to Robin Roberts. Then they had Cindy and her daughter on speaking utter lies. You know, I've been saying for 8 years how stupid people are and those who choose to believe McCain/Palin's lies and mud-slinging are going to have a rude awakening come November 5th.

max   October 31st, 2008 1:40 pm ET

Amazing how republicants keep bringing up religion ... wasn't it mcain that called his wife a c#!t in fron of reporters? isn't it mccain that has a hostoric reputation for foul-mouthed tantrums in his senate office? wasn't it the red sheep from idaho that got caught in the airport stall? Isn't it the republicant white house and supreme court that has done nothing with r vs w?? wasn't it a repug that got caught planning abotion clinic bombings a few years ago?? (who's the terrorist) repukes are in it for the vote, they have become more Godless and greedy as their ideology moves into the 21st century ... who's the terrorist???

Fred fm Jacksonville   October 31st, 2008 1:39 pm ET

I would like to comment to "GM" on this statement

{It is a fact that Obama has spent more on negative ads than any other candidate, ever, even John McCain.

All you Obama supporters just go put your head in the sand. You'll have no one to blame but yourselves when socialism sets in.}

Why is it that when Mr McCain and Mrs Palin use only snippets of what OBAMA says and you take it all as everything he says. Stop being so narrow-minded. Everything that "try" to use against Obama never sticks, which I might add is totally negative and most inflammatory. But when the OBAMA campaign uses who cuts, not snippets, of McCain making his statements, it is viewed as negative? These long drawn out words are McCain in complete, not snippets. Come out from behind the curtain of greed and ignorance, this is 2008 not 1888. Use your mind and tools avail, check your facts. Which I might add the McCain ticket is not. Use some of your brain for improvement not ignorance.

thomas   October 31st, 2008 1:39 pm ET

Watch out kids. There's terrorists, socialists, communists and fake Americans waiting out there. Don't go to any of those houses with Obama/Biden signs. They want to take all your candy. After this election, we're all going to need a shower. and a mental clensing.

BK   October 31st, 2008 1:38 pm ET

It does come down to every last vote. Not because Obama won't be ahead but because we have to make up the difference when the Republicans cheat as they have the past two presidential elections. We're already having trouble with voting machines trying to switch people's vote to Republican, so MAKE SURE when you vote that it put you in for the right person!

Independent Voter   October 31st, 2008 1:38 pm ET

As the election day approaches, robocalls, catcalls, and even brickbats may be launched, most probably by the frustrated republican surrogates. Their bone of contention-anythintg goes and everything is fair game. All is fair in love, war, business, and republican politics. My only fond hope is it should not end in or lead to violence

Jack the retail employee   October 31st, 2008 1:38 pm ET

Do you want to work for the rest of your life for a retail corporation that imports products from countries that don't like us too much – where the jobs have been shipped because of deregulation on corporations that take advantage of tax cuts and cheap underage labor, or do you want to own your own business and buy products made in the USA or in countries of high quality and safety standards? Obama 08-12. Do you want drug addicts to bear children in the ghettos that could become psychotic murderers or do you want to stop abortions from happening for economic reasons, and allow abortions to take place within the first 3 months of conception-in which a group of cells are barely about to form a human tissue or a fetus? Choice is a God given right, abortion is not robbing a bank and shooting someone in the process, abortion is a regulatable medical procedure and a choice that should be left to be made by those immidiately involved with the issue. Murder and insanity is voting for the party that would keep young Americans in the middle of chaos in a perilous wasteland, only for Halliburton and other companies to continue making billions of dollars while the taxpayers are spending billions of dollars. Sin is not allowing gay and lesbians living happily together and filing their taxes together, hypocricy is sin. Allowing for ignorance is sin. Not allowing for the education of all Americans, especially those that have the intelligence but can not afford the tuition is a matter of national security and national loss. Wouldn't everybody want the most intelligent and those that can make quick and correct decisions be the leaders and the surgeons of the USA of the future. When you chant USA, USA, think: On November 4th 2008 BARACK OBAMA is the only reliable, choice. The brilliant leader of strong character, and true patriotism who cares for the American people and the country- since he is not the true elitist like John and Cindy Mc Cain. America and the American economy will not be able to absorb another shock of 4 more years of the same pollitics of hypocrisy, cronyism and serving of special interests. 4 months is too much time to risk waiting. America needs Barack Obama, right NOW. OBAMA 08-12.

SoCal   October 31st, 2008 1:37 pm ET

Whatever the McCain campaigns says, the latest Gallup tracking poll shows that Obama's lead nationwide is actually widening in all categories (registered voters, likely voters traditional and expanded).

Famous Speach: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"

McCain/Palin:The only thing we have is fear....

Commies, Terrorists, and Taxes oh my. Meanwhile NeoCon's have had eight years to drag this country to its knees. What is sad is McCain didn't used to be one of them.

This country is full of great people on both partisan sides who just want to feel that they have a voice in the ultra conservative landscape. Obama voters don't want socialism we just want some common sense. And we need well educated, open minded, and intelligent people to run this country no matter the party. I think what is causing people to vote is because a severe disconnect exist between our government and our people.

By the way when you type in all caps that means you are screaming. Hopefully that is not your intended purpose

Rick   October 31st, 2008 1:36 pm ET

I've heard it said a few times this election season that ,given the last 4 years of Bush, Obama should be WAY, WAY ahead in this race. That stuff obviously comes from the Republican strategy heads.

Perhaps he would be way, way ahead if the Republican propaganda machine would never have begun slinging its biggoted bile and robo-calls.

As a 23 year veteran, son of a 20 year veteran, son-in-law of a 30 year veteran and brother of a 12 year veteran, christians all, we stand with Sen Obama. We are tired of the Rethugs thinking they are the only patriots or christians in this country. Barack stands for hope, fairness and doing whats right, the things our country was built on. There are alot of negative things being said, but everyone should go to factcheck.org and get the facts on the lies McCain and the GOP are telling.

Most of the polls do not take into account cell phones and most of the young people and middle age people I know that support Barack don't have landlines and have not been called by a poll. But regardless, Get out and VOTE VOTE VOTE,

The democratics have out registered the republicans everywhere and in those states lucky to have earlier voting are turning out, there will be a real question about the programming in the machines if republicans win in heavily democratic areas.

John McCain suddenly has $20 million to spend on campaigning, where the $$ come from John. I going to donate to Barack again now.

Hey pete, young people are inexperienced voters? What the hell does that mean? The younger generation are what its all about isnt it? Obama has energised the younger voters and they are dictating this change? His appeal is worldwide are we all that stupid? Is the rest of the world that stupid? No methinks you are.
And bb, wow the rambling of a madman no less? Typical repub supporter, just spout crap til you run out, experience isnt that important? Not one of the candidates has that- u only get that by being President. Both Obama and Palin are 'inexperienced' however Obama has brains and is intellectual curious and experience you can get, brains you are born with and Palin was clearly back of the line for that one!

I am so prould to see that america has come this far to finally see all of us as one. I'm so tired of the color thing. When I look at Barrack Obama I don't see a black man, I see a man that like all of us is tired of the same old White House tricks. Yes! I was worried about this man that I didn't know much about. But I'm a fast learner and I like this man. John McCain has done all he can to make Obama look like everything but a proud american man. But Barrack Obama has stood tall and smiled through the whole bashing from John McCain and his side kick Sarah Palin. We need a true leader to get all of us out of this huge mess we are in. And Barrack Obama is that man. In my eyes! He is not a black man or a white man or any color. He is the man that can stand tall and bring all of us back out of the mess we are in and make all of us proud to be americans again. I'm proud of Barrack Obama and Joe Biden. "OBAMA/BIDEN 08"

pulling out all the dirty tricks he knows of so Mccain pack your bags and head home you lost.

Will you usher in a new era of CIVILITY in AMERICA Will you vote for compentence in this election?

One candidate is head-n-shoulders above the other. Please choose him. In case you have any doubt .... its THAT ONE!

James Clark   October 31st, 2008 1:33 pm ET

Obama is right. The Repubs will not give up power to control the lives of Americans - it has to be wrested from them, and the power returned to the voters. It's shameful how McCain has energized his lemmings by the mudslinging, and even more shameful that the gullible and ignorant suck it up like manna from heaven. I'm still looking for Bush to help out with some international incident, like the continued provocation of Pakistan and Syria. We need someone with higher morals and concern for the future of America. Go Obama '08

You know what? Young generation and educated adults are overwhelmingly vote for Obama. We cannot help on those being brainwashed by Hannity/Limbaugh/FoxNews. But at least we know the trend is on Democratic party side. If you're college students, go find time to vote!! This election is ALL about Obama – either people vote for Obama or vote against Obama. McCain is irrelevant!!!

Norm PA.   October 31st, 2008 1:32 pm ET

I cast my first presidential vote for Mondale years ago (no, I wasn't that excited about it) but this is by far the most pivotal election in my lifetime. If you know a first time voter, some of them may be intimidated about the process, especially with all the reports of glitches and suppression tactics. Talk to them, REGARDLESS OF PARTY, convince them to follow through and VOTE!!!!!!!!! Just think of their regret if they don't.

Unfortunately, it has to get ugly because media won't do their job. The mainstream media treats their favorite candidate with kid gloves. The really sad thing is they don't even try to hide it anymore. Stop calling yourselves journalists and reporters. That profession has go the way of the blacksmith. Call yourself what you really are, propaganda merchants. That goes for FoxNews as well, though I consider them to be a counter balance to the rest of the media.

McCain has run one of the nastiest campaigns ever. All my respect for him is gone. And Sarah Palin? She is scary. She doesn't even need a costume today just a broom. Hope they go back to whichever rocks they crawled out from after Nov 4th.I hope decency and common sense wins for once.

Will the Real Maverick Please Stand Up?   October 31st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

All McCain will offer is more wars and the draft (and a continuation od Bush's policies as he has none of his own).

Prepare to send your husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters into warzone to shed their blood to satisfy this egomaniac's thirst for war.

This will be McCain's plan to stimulate the economy and to lower the huge unemployment rate that will develop under his administration.

This will include those who voted for McCain as well...

Mr Obama will be the best President that USA ever dream of getting.Here is a man that actualy thinks for the welfare of his people,and has a plan for the future of his country. I hope that all the Americans will be smart enough to see that voting for Mr Obama is the only way to vote if they want a better tomorrow and they are to survive the rough days ahead.
From a Canadian that would vote for Mr Obama.

Sherry for Obama   October 31st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

The republicans will pull everything out of their hat to try and steal this election.
Wherever I go to different stores and out and about I meet people who are voting Obama.
I know of many who have in the past always voted republican are not voting for McCain because they feel Obama cares more for this nation and that Obama will be a better president

tired of this crap   October 31st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

I am a mid thirties successful white female. I have born witness to the most brutal presidential campaign in a long time. I have listened to both sides. I have weighed the proposals from both sides and checked the facts from reliable sources and not chain emails or biased sources. I have come to my conclusion for what I think is the best candidate for the America that I love in her current condition.

I will not belittle people who disagree with me. This is the United States of America where people are FREE to disagree for a Reason.

I will not Stand by while other people Belittle Me for MY choice.

If you don't have anything besides Hateful campaign rhetoric to regurgitate on this site then Shut Up ... there are real people here trying to make a very important decisions based on Fact not Fear and BS.

Obama's campaign has used the race card since South Carolina in January! They jump all over Bill Clinton for nothing and then turned the whole thing around to look like the victims! Now they have Bill and Hillary hostage and making them work for his election!

NOBAMA NO WAY!!!

sandee in Portland   October 31st, 2008 1:30 pm ET

@chuck..."i can't imagine the republicans getting more nasty". I saw an interview on FOX last night that said the republicans are going to spend about 5 million on a Rev. Wright ad this weekend in the toss up states.

So far they've thrown the kitchen sink, the bathtub, the toilet and now the garbage disposal at Obama. What a horrible way to try to win. Call me naive, but I can't understand why politicians can't just run on their own merits and what they can do for our country. Why must they run on making their opponent look like Billy the Kid. Could it be because most of them have no merits to run on?

It is because of this negativity that I have voted for Obama. At least he only attacked McCain's policies, not his character. McCain, on the other hand, has time and time again attacked Obama's character. Sad!

You're right, Obama has only spent 142 days in the Senate...so let me ask you this...if he's so inexperienced in only 142 days, what does that say about McCain because Obama will be in the White House while McCain tries to keep his Senate job. As far as the infanticide goes...please tell me what the difference is in having the woman decide, versus having McCain sending our troops overseas and some of them not returning. Its people like you who divide this nation. We aren't in the 18th century anymore, this is the 21st century. Grow up and get your facts straight before you start running your mouth, you idiot.

To bb-

FYI, Obama did not originate the term "spread the wealth", Roosevelt did (Teddy that is). And you figure because he attended a couple of meetings with someone who did bad stuff when he was 8 years old (and is now a college professor), that he "supports domestic terrorists"? By your reasoning, anyone who had or has anything to do with Ayers supports domestic terrorism? Including all of his students and fellow faculty members??? Are you freaking kidding me????? The rest of your post, including the reference to his middle name is just as intelligent.

This is the kind of idiotic IGNORANCE that got us into the trouble we are in now. Do us all a favor.... once PRESIDENT OBAMA is sworn in, MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY. And take all your ignorant friends with you.

Bush has been condemned for having been dealt an historically bad hand. US Presidents do not have as much influence on actual economic upswings or slides as the general public would like to think. All government apparatus are to be judged over decades, through multiple presidencies. In this respect, Bush can only be judged for his foreign policies.

Matt   October 31st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

I listened to Obama on MSNBC. He understood the issues a lot more than McCain ever could. His discussion about Afghanistan demonstrated a lot deeper thought than I ever heard from McCain, let alone anyone from the Bush administration. Anyone worried about his lack of experience should start worrying about how McCain's thought process has become calcified. Further, his temper should disqualify him from being president.

I just wish we could listen to both candidates give in depth answers to the issues facing America rather than these nonsense nasty ads. It is sad that anyone makes a decision on something so important based on this garbage.

I'm worried that some of the polls are showing McCain gaining on Obama. I'm hoping that the polls are not reflecting new voters. No matter what the polls say, go vote.

SoCal   October 31st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

McCain today is showing up together with Giuliani and Schwarzenegger, Palin is with Ditka... meanwhile Obama and Bidan are campaigning on their own and have surrogates like Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton spread out in separate rallies around the country.

In April this year 2008 Sen McCain was at ACORN headquaters wishing them good job and supporting them...love lost?
Rudi 911 Guliani told FIXED NEWS yesterday the links between Sen McCain-Ayers-Rashidi Khalidi WOW i was shocked...so McCain has been secretly funding the Palentinians and openly lying to support Israel....
Mccain met with the monst terrible dictator of his time without preconditions or preparations The chilian dictator killed 3500 people and jailed 11,000...wrong judgement. All his 90% of the time claim and now he suddenly opposed his life and career long acheivement..MR DEREGULATOR

You democrats are such hypocritical liars it's astonishing. A year ago the issue that was the most important issue in our lifetimes was the Iraq war and you voted for Obama the Clown because he was going to "pull our troops out"(i.e. surrender). Now there's hardly a peep about Iraq because Obama was so wrong. If we would have followed his advice and surrendered, the Islamist terrorists would be running all over the world killing people and operating out of their new safe haven, Iraq.

Lawrence   October 31st, 2008 1:29 pm ET

In the Repubs fury, it's hillarious to see how disjointed they are...... Repubs, you have a mole!!!! Palin was on the stump talking about Barack's latest militant ties.. DOES SHE KNOW McCAIN GAVE THAT VERY SAME "PLO LEADER" $445,000 IN THE LATE 80s AND EARLY 90s for "research"? I see the secret service tackling and shoveing her in a limo and speeding off, and.... oh wait, SHE'S ON THE TICKET! Last night it was ole' CROOKED Rudy trying to help out, and he tied McCain to Ayers..... John, I know your head is about to explode but you brought this on yourself, surround yourself with some people of substance! "Plummers", and "Builders" and "Pitbulls" and crooked ex New York mayors! AND WHO CAN EVER FORGET the dislexic philly campaign worker............. hillarious! SNL comics should all be fileing grievances against this cast!

It is tiring to hear the obamites saying the republicans stole the last election. Another non-fact twisted. In their eyes, how could anyone not support their way of thinking? Just another example of the closed mindedness of the obamites. Couldn't be just more states voted for Bush, has to be "stolen".

Well I see it as though Gore almost stole the election from Bush, but common sense prevailed.

Although I don't think Bush was a great president, he is not to blame for the financial crisis. That falls squarely on the democrats with Carter, Clinton, Fannie Mae, and the democrats blocking Bush's plan to regulate Wall Street over 2 years ago.

And sorry to say, but if Obama is elected, I fear we will look at the last 8 years as the Good Old Days.

Most of the posts here are for Obama. Many of the posters here want the republican party to get back to its true calling. Palin is not the future of the republican party. If she is, then I'm a democrat or a libertarian.

Please republicans, join with George Will, and others to take our party back. I've already voted for Obama. I have never felt so happy about a vote in my life.

Obamafied Cheesehead   October 31st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

For those conservatives fighting or fearing change, I’ve news for you; the GOP brand is in shreds thanks to ………………….fill in the balnk. Currently the GOP brand is as worthless as the once popular “tickle me Elmo”. Obama has already replaced the so called “Reagan Democrats” that we’ve talked about for the last 20+ years with a new brand that we’ll all talk about for many years to come called “Obama Republicans”.

BeauMan   October 31st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

"Nasty" has yet to be experienced. Wait and see what happens if Obama gets elected. So much experience and honesty in the Obama campaign...nothing to worry about. Just what the U.S. needs: more handouts to those who have no drive to succeed, great sit-downs and negotiations with terrorists, and feel free to abort a child any time you choose! Any Christians who support Obama should re-examine their faith. This is not fear-tactic or racism...this is a fact that some of you refuse to understand!

Sammy   October 31st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

It's funny all those trolls who still use this guy's middle name insinuating he is some kind of muslim manchurian candidate. As for Reagan-Carter... remember that Carter was a very unpopular incumbent. Obama's whole argument is that McCain is Bush and at least 50% of voters agree with him. All he needs is just one more vote than McCain in enough states.

NOVA   October 31st, 2008 1:28 pm ET

Yes, it will continue to get nasty but young folks, old folks, Black folks, White folks, everyone alike we all need to get out there and vote for our futures. If it's snowing, bundle up. If it's raining, take an umbrella. If the line is long, just hang out and bring your mp3 player, a book, video games, something! We have to make sure that no matter what we get out there and vote because the Republicans are hoping that we get discouraged and skip the polls.

Do NOT skip the polls! Vote for Sen. Obama and lets get America back on track!!!

There you go again, another one parroting the talking points of the radicals against Obama.

"dinner with Hugo Chavez" .....laughable!

All the time Obama was talking about Talks with our enemies, and Bush admin and Mccain said only if they kiss our *** first.
Well, now Mccain is alone in this opinion, as the Bush Administration has been now talking with North Korea AND finally we're making progress with them. How can you convince anyone to change(outside of bombing them) unless they know what you want?

And his "Socialism" is just what Teddy Roosevelt had called for long ago. Mccain is just as much of a socialist, as he is for "redistributing" the wealth, through tax breaks, to the most wealthy among us. How does that make ANY sense. This theory has been proven wrong for the last 8 years(it DOESN'T trickle down), and most THINKING people see the writing on the wall.

Hey "GED's really work"...your thinly veiled stereotype of Obama supporters as uneducated (minorities) is reflective of the lame wordplay.. racially divisive language...of McCain and Palin's lame failure campaign. You all still don't understand that people are tired of the negativity and divisiveness. That's why you're losing..America will move forward and leave the bigots and rednecks back in the dust...like she always (slowly but surely has) has. Get adjusted to the future or get left behind hater.

Oh and by the way I have a master's degree in international business and I myself would debate your pathetic vice- presidential candidate on international issues off the top of my head any day of the week.

There are Republicans on other blogs who are proudly reporting that they lied to pollsters and said they were voting for Obama when they aren't.

While calling registered Democrats at the Phoenix AZ Obama office, I actually had one woman who gleefully told me that she and her son were really Republicans but registered as a Dems for the AZ Dem Primary "just so we could mess with you people."

No wonder McCain and Palin are so nasty and full of lies - they actually reflect their base.

The boy's name Hussein \hu(s)-sein\ is pronounced hoo-SAYN. It is of Arabic origin, and its meaning is "good; small handsome one". It's
Obama's middle name for god's sake.
As for socialism, Obama's plans are no more socialistic than Reagans were.
I rather doubt Obama has any plans to dine with Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro, but he probably does have plans to open up a dialog with countries with whom we don't agree, that are not following the American definition of democracy. It's called ensuring security.

I am so sick of hearing idiots say Obama is not an American Citizen. He was born to a woman from KANSAS!!!! Fellow Republicans please, slander and fear are not the right way to win the White House. Between the CIA and FBI, don’t we think Obama probably has had a thorough review? Let us also not forget that the main requirement to run for the Presidency is CITIZENSHIP. Obama would have had to proven this fact way before running. So let’s get away from the fear tactics. All it does it scare the stupid people. Fear is a doorway to violence. We don’t want a population that feeds on fear, and we don’t want leaders that promote fear of others.

Adam Colorado   October 31st, 2008 1:26 pm ET

We should be encouraging EVERYONE, regardless of age, sex, creed, race, etc to vote, because when more people get involved, and more REAL people get elected, then the voices of ALL Americans is heard. When 50% of registered voters don't vote, how can that be a true representation of the UNITED STATES? Please encourage others to vote!

Debbie, Idaho   October 31st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

Requirements of becoming POTUS do not state you have to have been a senator or governor or other politician for a specific amount of time. We, the people, get to decide who we want as POTUS and have the opportunity to elect the POTUS through a voting process of democracy. People will choose and vote on who they want for POTUS based on their own personal opinions and views.

I am so sick and tired of hearing claims about "terrorist," "socialist," and "marxism." Grow up. As I've told my other friends who think Obama will sink the US–if Obama is all those things and is elected president, then guess what? Most Americans wanted it.

A war-veteran and American hero does not make a president either. Those are valid and great qualifications, but they do not make the next POTUS. Many, many returning military members are also war-veterans and American heroes. This does not mean I want them for my next POTUS.

If the McCain/Palin supporters would open their narrow, little minds and did some fact checking they would find out that both McCain and Palin have LIED over 90% of the time (similar to McCain's 90% voting record with Pres. Bush).
Quit listening to the McCain/Palin lie show and get a brain!

Monica (Houston, TX)   October 31st, 2008 1:24 pm ET

OBAMA/BIDEN SUPPORTERS, Obama’s lead in various polls means ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, NOTHING if we allow overconfidence and enthusiasm to substitute for turning out to vote. WE MUST GET OUT AND VOTE FOR THE OBAMA/BIDEN TICKET!!! Remember, anything can happen between now and November 4th. We must turn out big, and PACK OUR PATIENCE because lines will be long, voting machines will break down, and, YES, some of our voting efforts will be met with trickery from the other side.

Take a high-risk registered, but likeminded voter to the polls with you to cast a vote for OBAMA/BIDEN. History tells us that poll leads in the final days before November 4th have often come back to bite (remember Carter/Reagan, Gore/Bush?).

YOUNG PEOPLE, you’ve been key in helping Senator Obama make it to this point in the campaign and your turnout is critical to OBAMA/BIDEN winning this election. We are SO COUNTING ON YOU to turn out, too, and make sure your peers turn out as well!

You are such a cry-baby… get over it and yourself while you're at it!!! If it was that unfit mother a.k.a. Palin or that bitter old fart a.k.a. McCain you'd be honored to lose a day or even a couple of days of sales.

The next POTUS WILL be in front of your (so you say) store and you can't do A DARN THING ABOUT IT!!!! Just sit back and watch history be made!

John 'Wayne Gacy' mccain ... he's partially responsible for more deaths of American soldiers and untold Iraqi civilians than anyone .... he's supported an unjustified, immoral, illegal, ill-conceived war from the beginning .... how 'bout 'john 'Dirt Bag' mccain ... for the way he left his 1st, crippled wife for a barbie booze barroness .... how 'bout john 'Liar' mccain ... nuff said

Dawn   October 31st, 2008 1:23 pm ET

Looks like they will throw the toilet at Obama... Everything will be coming out... I just wish that Obama will throw something back at them, and not being a nice guy...Remeber nice guys will always finish last.

He must have something on McCain that he does not want voters to know...

Looks like top notch people are saying that Sarah Palin is not ready to serve as a VP on day one as well as President. That is one scary lady.

Just by reading these comments I can already see how Obama is pulling everyone together for a greater nation. Oh wait, that is only if you are an Obama supporter, if not you seem to be an idiot. I would love to see Obama win, I will be the first one to buy the bumper sticker in two years from now that says I didn't vote for him. That is only if I can get one before they sell out or if I can buy one after all my money is gone from my taxes to pay the slackers even more to stay at home and wait for their welfare check.

Jeanne H.   October 31st, 2008 1:23 pm ET

It's gonna get nastier, it's already been extremely nasty. McCain has stooped so low he is beneath low. To call Obama a socialist, a liar and every name in the book, he should look at his own self and recognize who he is: a liar, a whiner, a coward... and of course, a socialist for spreading the weatlh around to the rich, his pals/rich boys who makes millions and own vacation homes in every other state... all in the name of "love of country"... No matter how vicious the attacks, the american people is not stupid enough to buy them, Mr McCain. We have naively bought enough lies from Mr Bush and are now seeing the sorry results. Enough is enough.

Joe   October 31st, 2008 1:23 pm ET

For those ingnorant enough to believe socialism is = "Spreading the Wealth" need to look at a dictionary. First part of the definition is correct the second part is omitted.

Socialism: The redistrubuiton of wealth by means of COLLECTIVE OWNERSHIP USUALLY BY A GOVERNMENT.

So if Obama is a socialist or terrorist sympathiser then McCain is a treasonist individual for palling around with convicted Felons, Terrorists in the AIP, Terrorists in the PLO, Racists, and Anti-Semites.

Saying someone can't be president if they are muslim is the same thing as saying a Jew can't be president.

After the election is over, go back and read your own blogs and see just how silly you sound with your threats, lies and hate talk. I'm sure you will surprise yourselves. Then do something really out of the ordinary, say something kind to your fellow man, or do a good deed. Kindness, goodness, try it you might like it.

All you fear-mongering, hate-mongering, war-mongering Republicans need to get a grip and face reality that your tactics are not working.

Hillary Clinton already tried all these same tricks which failed. McCain simply copy-cat's the same old recylcled stories that got Clinton outsted.

Anyone who tries to imply something bad about Obama due to his middle name is really, really ignorant. Anyone who can do nothing but quote the (false) McCain talking points is also really ignorant. Listening to McCain people quote these points about Obama continuously proves how gullible the majority of the American population is. Which also explains Bush winning twice. You were wrong about Bush. You're wrong about McCain. Hopefully you won't have the opportunity to prove it over the next 4 years.

Observations of my teen daughter...."wow, you know in his speeches all Mr McCain does is criticize Mr Obama...but Mr Obama talks about all the things he will do for the country."
Enought said, praise to Senator Obama and ALL his campaign workers from the top down for running a campaign with integrity. The McCain campainn tactics will forever be studied and cited as "how NOT to run a campaign'. From the great state of Missouri, who is going Blue for Barack Obama.....her is 11 electoral votes for the candidate who ran a positive campaign....
good job!

Obama MUST win   October 31st, 2008 1:21 pm ET

If those poor brainwashed souls that are going to vote for McCain would really take one good honest look at the two candidates without any preconceived notions; without looking at the color of their skin this is what they would see:

In Mr. Obama – a leader that was able to come from being virtually unknown to rocking the status quo. He is an inspiring individual that embodies the very essence of the American Dream.

In Mr. McCain – a washed up out of touch with reality war hero that feels that the presidency is 'Owed' to him because he spent some time as a POW.

I used to be a staunch Republican before Bush and his cronies decimated this great nation of ours. Anyone that is not at least a Millionaire is a sadly a fool to waste his or her vote on McCain. I truly pray that God Barack Hussein Obama will be elected the next president this coming Tuesday.

1. The fact that Barack Obama's middle name is Hussein- tell me please how this is important? (Hint: It's not important. At all).

2. Do you know the meaning of the word "socialism" (Hint: no, you don't). A return to the tax rates before Bush, the same rates as we had during the Clinton years, is not "socialism". Were we a socialist country from 1992-2000? (Hint: no.)

3. "Dinner with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro"? OK, just start making stuff up. That will definitely work. (Idiot).

Charlie Bradley   October 31st, 2008 1:21 pm ET

OMG bb........Wake UP!! DO YOU KNOE that HUSSEIN is actually the counterpart to the American name JOSEPH?!?!

McCAIN AND PALIN DO NOT HAVE our best interests at heart!! all they want to do is spread the wealth around to the rich–keep them richer and make people like us have to struggle even further!!!!

I suggest EVERYONE read the post from VETS FOR OBAMA above.

Preach it ANITA in Oregon!!!! I agree with you 1000%

VOTE FOR THE MAN who shows character, strength, dignity, and ACTUALLY KNOWS poverty, and what to do to overcome it. Just because he wants to try REASONING with the terrorists, doesn't make him one of them. HE is a peaceful American. IF you don't think that can work, then how can you look your children in the eye and tell them to TALK it out rather than fighting with the local playground bully?!!

Everyone is being convinced by the Repubs that an Obama administration means taxes will be raised. Please educate yourselves – I beg you. You will go back to the Clinton rates ONLY if you make over $250,000. At 250K, your taxes remain the same and under 200K you get a tax cut. This is propaganda that your taxes will be raised. If I made over a quarter million I'd gladly pay the 3% hike to help this country out. And senior citizens, Obama wants NO tax on seniors making under 50K. Please spread this word.

Tony   October 31st, 2008 1:21 pm ET

If everyone who is voting for Obama goes with at least four or five others, then we will win by a landslide.

If you don't vote then don't whine and complain for the next four years when you get a continuation of the Bush years.

When people are paying attention just like this time, it is going to be very tough for the republicans and McCain to fool the people, not this time.

The people is hungry and angry for a change in a new direction and Bush like administration is not going to be able to fix the crisis and the failed policies that got us the hard time in the first place.

A landslide Obama/ Biden is the way to go.

deb in Colo   October 31st, 2008 1:20 pm ET

For all you, McCain-ites who think your small business is going to close because of Obama. Here's something to think about.

The biggest business in my Colorado town of 8000 is WALMART. They opened a year ago. The result, besides more traffic? A handful of small businesses closed because the superstore opened and took their business.

WALMART – who has a history of not giving it's workers 40 hrs a week so it doesn't have to provide health care.
WALMART – who gets most of it's merchandise from CHINA.
WALMART – one of the biggest corporations in America is only looking out for the Benson family, CEO, and board of directors.

Then tell me about socialism and redistributing wealth.

QLee   October 31st, 2008 1:20 pm ET

I am praying that each and every support of Obama gets out and votes. We have to do everything humanly possible to keep McCain & Palin out of the White House. McCain did not put country first when he chose Palin – who does not have a clue about national issues. McCain keeps talking about victory in Iraq. What is that? There is no such thing as "victory" in Iraq. They are winning the war now because our country is going broke fighting that war. Look at what happened to Russia after years and years in Afghanistan. The same thing is happening to us. McCain does not have the IQ to fix the economy. He has already admitted that he doesn't understand economics very well. Obama is educated and very smart. I believe he CAN get us out of this economic mess. So, I'm voting for the smart guy. We failed to do so in the last two elections and look where that got us. Wake up America! We don't want "someone like us" to run the country. We should want someone smarter. Lastly, Obama will take us into the 21st century. He is a man of the future. McCain will not keep us competitive with other countries and new technology. Obama must win if we are to stay a world power!

Anonymous   October 31st, 2008 1:20 pm ET

Hey bb – you seem to think that listening to the lies of McCain and Palin make you smart. Dumb, Dumb and much Dumber.
Seek the truth, please. If you fact check EVERYTHING that McCain and Palin have said in the last month you will find that over 93% of what they say are lies. Pretty close to that voting record of McCains – "90% of the time I voted with President Bush".
I have a brain, I sought the truth and have found that you bb do NOT have a brain in your little, narrowminded head. Seek the truth and quit listening to the McCain and Palin LIE show.

Max   October 31st, 2008 1:20 pm ET

I can't for the life of me believe that there are still UNDECIDED voters in this election. The choice is SIMPLE:

This is all by design to sway votes toward Obama. Wake up people, the Wall Street meltdown just so happened right before this election? Regardless our votes don’t count.

It's McCain supporters that made a lifelike resemblance of Obama and hung it from a tree...it was a McCain supporter who beat herself up and claimed it was a black man who supported Obama who did it to her..it's McCain supporters who have cried "kill him" at Palin and McCain stops...awaken.

Yo’ moose(my heartfelt apologies to all mooses or meese, whichever) mom, with you being found guilty of abuse of power for trooper gate, and your mentor Stevens from whom you obviously learned your ethics in government dealings, now has 7 felony convictions under his belt, it is revealed today, that there has been another ethics violation charge filed against you. Seems the Alaskan taxpayers are a bit peeved that you spent 21K of their tax dollars flying the kiddo’s around the country on their dime, especially, now that it has been revealed the kiddos were not invited and in one case, not wanted at the event. Seems that most popular governor title is also in jeopardy, latest poll shows you down to 60% from 80%, but of course, no one can take that Miss Wasilla title away from you.

So, was this whole VP gimmick worth it to you and your family?

Remember, if you lose the day job, your back to being the average Alaskan fishwife, albeit, a very well dressed one.

Which brings me to my question, just what Valentino frock does one wear to gut fish?

I’ve been catching myself watching the McPalin rallies with my mouth hanging open in astonishment. Who are these people chanting “I am Joe?” Wake up! There is no Joe! Just a guy who made up a story about himself that isn’t true. He only made about 40K last year and the business he might someday think about buying clears more like 100K. Of course if you try to let facts get in the way of a good story, you will be accused of “attacking Joe.”

The signs read: “Obama Wants to take Joe’s Dough.” No, actually Obama is trying to give Joe a tax cut. Joe is just too friggin’ dense to figure out who is really on his side and who is using him to further their own interests. A more appropriate chant for these folks would be “I am Slow!”

You are exactly why Bush has destroyed American life. Your conjecture is racist and uncalled for. I am 23 years old, a kid, and even I would suggest you do some growing up.

You are not counting the days Congress met that were not on the books, putting the number of days Obama has served in Congress to over 700.

And if you want to play the "omg he's unamerican" card, you should probably put out there that McCain was born in Panama, and Palin's husband supports the movement to secede Alaska from the US.

You are backwards and downright wrong.

Not only that, but "if we have a brain in our head" – Are you asking whether or not you yourself have a brain? I can answer that.

I'm proud to say my husband and I voted early for Barack Obama & Joe Biden!
Go Barack! Go Joe!

Bonnie in Colorado   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Obamas ads are just as negative as McCains. The gossip being spread about Palin is disgusting and the DEMS are behind it. Funny how it is okay for Obama to do it and not okay for the GOP! Lets get some sense before it is too late.

Brian   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Unless the GOP manage to find some unbelievably earth shattering news on Obama in the next 4 days, well then this thing is just about over.

Oh, and Senator Obama, this election was already very ugly. But I commend you for staying level headed and rising above the fray.

Brian   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

There goes John McCain, writing under the pseudonym of "Gary" again

Bubba   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Ho hum. McCain supporters sure are gullible. Nobody's trying to move us to a British-style socialist economic system, and if you still believe that, you aren't very sharp. As mentioned above, the USA has been pushed to socialist solutions before, like Social Security and the AMTRAK takeover, but these are desperate cases. Which is better, socialist trains or no trains at all? When we were all out of work, the WPA was a socialist solution, but we don't still have it today. AS I say, gullible.

Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Virginia, Indiana   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

Obama's campaign started all the race crap back in January when they jumped all over Bill Clinton in South Carolina! Remember? And ever since they have kept using the race card in a consistent and subtil way always accusing others of being racist? Now you've got Bill and Hillary tied up like a couple of hostages and you're making them work for you!

NOBAMA NO WAY!

Fernando   October 31st, 2008 1:16 pm ET

People, let's not look at McCain, let's no discuss McCain, let's ignore his failed attempts to throw dirt at Obama, Obama's campaign and Obama's supporters. The only thing we should do right now is vote and make sure everyone goes out to vote.

It's near the end, 4 more days !! Can you believe it ? :) It has been a looooong road...

Go Obama !

Souad, Georgia   October 31st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Sue, Georgia:
I believe Obama camp should launch more Ads In Georgia to counter the negative Ads of the Republican (Like, Obama will tax us to give our money to the lazy black people who do not want to work, or, Obama will help Homosexual get married, I personally met some people who believe in that) And I hope Obama Camp will help Jim Martin in Georgia to win the election
I voted: Obama/ Biden; Jim Martin

ENOUGH! from Dallas, Tx   October 31st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Obama is winning...he is winning by his strong character of fairness and honesty! McCain/Palin have been NASTY and they will get nastier over the next few days because they have no other options. This is how the repugs. campaign through lies and fear because they are unable to run a intillegent positive campaign. Unfortunately, Karl Rove sleazy politics continues to rear its ugly head troughout this campaign! Hopefully, there are enough smart voters willing to research these lies and seek the truth without these negative ads, speeches, rallies and biased news reports being shoved down our throats! They are hoping we are as naive and guillible as we were when Bush stole the election 8 yrs. ago by sleazy lying politics! We can't let this happen again. Bush was the worst president and we should all be ashamed that this man was the president of the United States!

Proud to vote for Obama as the next President of the United States!

bill   October 31st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

I tipped my waitress last night. I'd already paid for my meal and was not legally required to give up anymore money, but I did it because I understand that my tip to her increased her bottom line.

I am not wealthy but I shared what I had with her.

I apparently am a socialist. I tipped my waitress.

What if McCain's middle name was Binladin would you be afraid of him?

Bonnie in Colorado   October 31st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

Any voter with any sense has to realize Obama cannot do or keep the promises he is making to get elected. I think that after two years in office, if he does indeed fool enough people, that we IMPEACH him. The American people can get him out of office and maybe a grew of his cronies in Congress as well. Why wait four years to do it!

Grog in Ohio   October 31st, 2008 1:15 pm ET

It is absolutely inspiring to see Democrats finally fight back when the Republicans sling their mud. It is about time!!

81 days till the end of the Bush administration.

Ron from Baltimore   October 31st, 2008 1:14 pm ET

Go, Obama-Biden! Two of our finest Americans, we need you to represent the rest of our beloved country.

To McCain-Palin, you have shown us exactly what the darkside of life lived too-long under Republicans would mean. Home-grown terrorism of your own people, threatening and demeaning those others who woud aspire to run for and support the Office of the President of the United States. McCain-Palin, worthless bullies both, must not be unleashed on our countrymen and the rest of the world.

Senators Obama and Biden, may God speed your successfull campaign, and may we be here to help you both reclaim and keep our highest ideals as Americans.

Hannah Stevens   October 31st, 2008 1:14 pm ET

I live in Arizona and Obama could win in McCain's home state. I voted by mail in ballot for Obama and I will be attending a Arizona Divorces McCain event tomorrow. I am so hopeful that we will have a new president who will speak for the people on November 5th.

Go Obama!!!

Cynthia; Bham   October 31st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

It started in the primaries even before we knew that Senator Obama was the Democratic nominee and has gotten progressively worse. All that seems to come out of the McCain camp is negative things rather than what their platform is.

Linda Schatzer   October 31st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Yep McCain and Palin havent figured out that most people have already decided who they want and no matter what they do or say, which changes daily...McCain changes his ideas daily to fit what Obama has said lol. Obama has been steady on message since day one....wake up people...McCain doesnt have clue one on what to do. Its scarey. And if you people are so stupid as to put someone in their that if mccain does die Palin takes over...we are in a world of hurt. This woman knows nadda about foreign affairs. Who will she put in her cabinet...her friends that have no experience other than they are friends. Are you people really that dense or just so gung ho because she is a woman you will vote for her...I am a woman..but she would never get my vote. Im not a dumb woman.

IowaMom   October 31st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Gary, who is the one who is full of hate? ALL CAPS MEANS YOU ARE SCREAMING!

McCain has run the dirtiest campaign in years! Him and many of his supporters are the ones who are full of hate!

Leah DiMarco, Texas   October 31st, 2008 1:13 pm ET

Knock on doors, make phone calls, email everyone you know, drive people to the polls to VOTE!

Everyone MUST vote this time – it is time to take back America and regain our standing the world and restore respect to America in the eyes of the world.

GED's Really Work!   October 31st, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Hey Obama, it's not only going to get nastier, though you are going to lose!

...remember Reagan, down in the polls, and then Wham,! he wins the election...

Obama, your hot air balloon is deflating, your numbers are so INFLATED!

McCain!

I see the Obama supporters are putting their GED's to work this afternoon, I have never seen so many comments that lacked so much depth & insight, it's pathetic.

Happy Halloween, put on a suit, write "socialist" across your chest and go dressed as Obama!

Mohammed   October 31st, 2008 1:12 pm ET

Man I just want this to be over already...2 YEARS OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT..WHAT THE H$#L!!!!!! NO WONDER NOTHING GETS DONE IN GOVERNMENT. HALF THE TIME YOU RUN TO STAY IN OFFICE SO 2 YEARS LATER YOU CAN RUN TO STAY IN OFFICE...this is a joke

Greg in MN   October 31st, 2008 1:12 pm ET

When he's right, he's right!

Get out the vote! Take 5 of your friends to the polls so they can vote for Obama/Biden!

I am so proud of Senator Obama. After watching his 30 min ad I felt very proud to be an american ....Unlike watching the McCain/Pailn rallies which make you feel sick & as if you need a hot bath to wash off their filth!

bill pike   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

every time our country has needed a special leader God has provided: George Washington, Ab Lincoln, Kennedy, and now Obama. How do I know for sure??? mcshame "Joe 6 pack, Joe the plumber, Joe McCarthy has risen from the dead". hate got hitler to power using the Jewish people, McCarthy used name calling to ruin lives, mcshame/pale inn now have Joe McCarthy in their camp. HEY MCSHAME, DO YOU NOW UNDERSTAND WHY CONGRESSMAN LEWIS SAID WHAT HE DID ABOUT YOU.???????

M. WINNERS   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Attention all low information voters in PA and OH who think tax cuts for the top 5%ers are a good thing – vote McCain/Palin and you'll get what you deserve for being ignorant about politics – nothing...

That goes for you too "bb"...

Lyndon,CA   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

The end is near! Can you believe it?

Pete   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Sounds like Obama has to plead to the inexperienced young voters to get votes. This is an act of desparation. Is this how he will act in the face of adversity?

vahe   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Rogue Palin   October 31st, 2008 1:11 pm ET

Winnie Hussein . . . in Montana   October 31st, 2008 1:10 pm ET

Well, Sen. Obama, it already has. I have e-mailed so many corrections to the false crap people have been sending me! On another post, someone made a BIG deal about Sen. Obama's campaign advisor, Valeria Jarrett. OMG, she was born in Iran!!!! Well, I guess that makes her a terrorist!

Here is the truth about why Valerie Jarrett, who is VERY well-respected, was born in Iran:

Valerie was born in Shiraz, Iran, where her father, Dr. James Bowman, ran a hospital for poor children. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, is Professor Emeritus in Pathology and Medicine, University of Chicago. Her mother is an early childhood education expert and co-founder of the Erikson Institute for child development.

So, cut the crap McCain supporters, you will do and say anything, spread any suspicious rumour, just to get your candidate, who does NOT give a rat's patootie about you, elected.

It is so easy to research this false claims and innuendos. Give it up!

No Hillary = No Obama   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

This guy is a piece of work. Typical elitist – has to make an announcement about getting down and dirty. LOL

godprotectus   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

There is a God in Heaven!!!!! Kick Butt BO!!!!! We are behind you all the way. This nation is plain crazy if they allow McCain to get into office, our world will be over. And what in the world was McCain thinking with that stupid ad that says "Obama doens't know what it is like to have a notice that the power is going to be shut off", if any body knows that it would be him. How stupid can that campaign get. GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

GARY   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE MORON. YOU HAVE SARTED THE NEGATIVES AND DIRTY POLITICS FROM THE BEGINING. YOUR A BIG JOKE OBAMA ,AND YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE NAIVE LITTLE PUPPETS FULL OF HATE.OUR COUNTRY IS DOOMED IF YOUR SORRY - GETS ELECTED.WE DONT NEED AN ARROGANT CHICAGO CON MAN GREENHORN RUNNING OUR COUNTRY AT THIS TIME OF WAR. OBAMA WILL ONLY BRING WORST WARS. THATS A FACT.

Laverne   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

One thing I can say about Obama, he has taught the Democrats how to FIGHT and stand their ground. He has transformed they way dems look and approach the electoral map. He has been good for not only Democrats, but Repubs and Ind. alike. Obama is a transformational figure and America will be a better country with his leadership! So proud to call him POTUS!

Mike, Texas   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

bb.. somehow by stating his full name Barack HUSSEIN Obama i should be scared? Grow up and get some education. This is the year 2008 not 1960's.

By the way, thanks for calling him a President.

And if you have some brains, you will know McCain has been advocating Redistribution of wealth for the last 20 years. McCain supporters make me laugh.

az voter   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

The radical right has nothing to lose.

This small fragment of our party has hi-jacked our Republican ideals and labeled us as the party of smears, lies, and distortions.

Unfortunately Sen. McCain has been seriously beguiled.

Donna - Los Angeles   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I' returned my absentee ballot two weeks ago and I'm encouraging everyone I know to do early voting. Go Barack. YES WE CAN

Souad, Georgia   October 31st, 2008 1:09 pm ET

I believe Obama camp should launch more Ads In Georgia to counter the negative Ads of the Republican (Like, Obama will tax us to give our money to the lazy black people who do not want to work, or, Obama will help Homosexual get married) I personally met some people who believe in that.
And I hope Obama Camp will help Jim Martin of Georgia to win the election
I voted: Obama/ Biden; Jim Martin

Chuck   October 31st, 2008 1:08 pm ET

I can't imagine the Rethuglicans getting any more nasty. Just go to You Tube and look up some of the people waiting to get into the rallies of McCain / Palin. The racism is blatant and has not been rebuked by either McCain or Palin. I guess what is being said is how they really feel. It's time to take America back from these low lifes who profess their christianity then turn around and stab you in the back.

Nate   October 31st, 2008 1:08 pm ET

HELP GET OUT THE VOTE!!! go to barack obama dot com and find your local office!!! It's not enough just to vote!! THIS CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT YOU!!! Take ownership!!!

dj   October 31st, 2008 1:07 pm ET

obama is looking very impressive and pushing aside all the negativity by mccold. he was funny too. interesting how obama gets big political names to help while mccold gets sports and music people. i think the whole aspect of exxon being drilled (no pun) on their profit is a direct hit against mccold. they need no extra cash, put it into medicine and space and science. i already voted for obama, can you tell

Silence Dogood   October 31st, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Final message from the candidates: BE AFRAID when you vote!

McCain: be afraid of terrorists coming to get you if I don't win
Obama: be afraid of racial riots and being called racist if I don't win

Same message – be afraid, shut-up, and don't question us!

bruce   October 31st, 2008 1:07 pm ET

Again CNN takes a comment in Maddows interview out of context from the question. Maddow explined this morningn that she asked a question about conservatism in America and how the Obama campaign was dealing with that, and the commet about we are winning was directed toward winning some conservatives to the campaign and not about the campaign in general or if he things he is winning...
Again this will spun just as everything else is and used out of context.
I figure this will not get posted...but had to say it in case it does....
This comment was not...even stated by maddow...about his winning the elcetion.

I have voted already. Have you? If not, go out and do it today or do it before Tuesday if you can.

"That One" and Joe "The Biden" in 2008!!!

Jane   October 31st, 2008 1:06 pm ET

Voting Obama for sure!

Why would I ever vote for McCain/Palin who think its OK to spread falsehoods and innuendo? This weekend they'll be scraping the bottom of their garbage can. If they think it's OK now, you can be sure that would be what follows in a McCain/Palin administration. I had enough falsehoods with Bush thanks...

Get out and vote for Obama/ Biden!

edd   October 31st, 2008 1:06 pm ET

As the McCain camp becomes more desperate, so will their tactics. They will go beyond nasty.

Get out and vote! Vote Obama

Anita in Oregon   October 31st, 2008 1:05 pm ET

One would think the way a candidate runs his/her political campaign to the White House would directly translate to how he/she would run the White House. In that case, John McCain should not be allowed anywhere near it. It is absolutely dispicable how low he will go just to get there. His dirty games and childish name calling have divided this country more than it already had become over the past 8 years and shows no signs of stopping.

It is amazing to me that we can find billions to bail out Wall Street and to fight endless wars but cannot find it to fund healthcare, education, infrastructure, etc... What Bush has done was not give us a choice. He took our country to war and essentially took our money with him. John McCain has no plans to leave Iraq.

There is a war in America. We are fighting our own corrupt government who has been winning for the past 8 years. End all of these battles for Americans.

VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN '08

RET   October 31st, 2008 1:05 pm ET

Papasan in Arizona   October 31st, 2008 1:04 pm ET

A growing number of Arizonans are voting Obama, and we see McCain's dirty games are just beginning here, now that he is focused on trying to save his Senate seat...

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   October 31st, 2008 1:03 pm ET

I sure hope McCain loses. That will teach him for being part of Keating 5 that started all the deregulation – maybe he'll think before he makes any more propaganda tapes AGAINST the US. Maybe he will even retire and quit dividing our nation. GO AWAY McWarmonger. NO NO NO to Iran and the draft. NO NO NO – and quit donating to Kahlidi – you traitor.

Voted early for Obama/Biden – the Constitutional Guys

VETERANS FOR OBAMA   October 31st, 2008 1:03 pm ET

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 organization.
Your VP candidate's husband Todd Palin is a domestic terrorist in the Alaskan Independence Party.
You accuse Obama of knowing Rashid Khalidi, yet you yourself have given Rashid Khalidi & the PLO $500,000.00!!! So by your logic, if Obama is a terrorist sympathizer like you claim, then you Senator McCain are a state sponsor of terrorism. You are, by your own twisted logic, a terrorist by your own admittance.
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 & to your country.

bill   October 31st, 2008 1:02 pm ET

Hang tough...it's been nasty along....you have weathered the storm thus far! Godspeed~

bb   October 31st, 2008 1:01 pm ET

A junior senator, who had only 142 days of experience in Senate when he declared his candidacy, who supported domestic terrorists and organizations like Acorn, declared 'socialism' through 'spreading the wealth around', supports infanticide and wants to have dinner with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro is going to be the president of United Sates?

Are you kidding?

President Barack HUSSEIN Obama?

If we have a brain in our head, vote McCain!

tulsa   October 31st, 2008 12:58 pm ET

For those who think Obama is a socialist, FYI, McCain's hero, Teddy Roosevelt is the guy who instituted the progressive tax that "spreads the wealth around".
He was quite the Socialist, huh?
