I'm sure, that if McCain wins, Joe's nose will be browner than any of them.

For the sake of the US and the world I hope Obama wins this election. As a Canadian it will sure change my mind on how I feel about the US. If he wins I might even visit. If for some strange reason McCain is elected as your next president and his policy stays the same as BUSH then I and many others will continue to stay away from the US and continue to hold the US in contempt.

WOW !!!

IF I WERE SENATOR (VICE PRESIDENT ELECT) BIDEN, I THINK I

WOULD NOW PUT MC CAIN, NOT IN THE FRIEND FILE, BUT

INSTEAD, HE WOULD GO INTO THE DISTANT AQUAINTANCE

FILE. LIKE SOME ONE HE USE TO KNOW....

glenn alexander–it's apparent you don't have a clue what a tax credit is.If you have not voted yet,find out what a $5000.00 tax credit is-you will want to vote for McCain.

Mark Kahle–Find out the FACTS,you don't have a clue because they HAVE said $250,000,$200,000,$150,000.and now$120,000 .McCain has always said NO TAX INCREASES FOR ANYBODY !!

Don't vote your EMOTIONS ,vote with your BRAIN

You Obama/Biden followers are need to pull your head out of the sand. Biden is a laughingstock! "Stand up, Chuck. Let 'em see ya. Oh my God! What am I thinking?..."

Do you people know anything about your candidates? McCain is a genuine American hero and has suffered far greater indignities than Obama, Biden or any of you could possibly imagine. Palin is the embodiement of the American dream. A small town girl that got involved and took on the corrupt politicians in her state and is on the precipice of becoming the first woman in American history to be a member of the executive branch of government. Those qualities are not the only reasons to vote for them, but they're more than most of you could say for your candidates.

Your misguided hatred for President Bush has clouded your judgment. If you had nominated Sen. Clinton I would be less inclined to even respond to you folks. Barack Obama is the least experienced candidate from the two major political parties in modern history and yet you blindly put your faith in him.

Voting for change? Be careful! You may not like the change you get and the country will be worse off for it.

"Country first" is more than a slogan. John Kennedy said, "ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country." Please, don't vote for Obama because he has promised you the moon and the stars (and the oceans rising). He's only promising you this in exchange for your votes. Don't be bought!

Hussein is just a name is that suppose to scare people? When you are a baby you do not choose how you want to name yourself this is just good sense. In America you will find different name from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Peter, George Bush, Samuel Alito and etc. This is a multy culture country and people from different part of the world are leaving here and they name their kids accordingly. That do not make the kids bad or a terrorist; in fact they are American like all of us. We have people from Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Lybia, Venezuela leaving in the USA and the fact that they have roots from these country do not make them bad people. Nasty, Nasty campaign can you afford four more years of this mess. After this eight years term this republican president will still have his mansion and guess what? that mansion is pay off for. Some of you already lose your home and some of you will. Some of you already lost your job and some of you will while the people that cause this financial mess are getting richer. The president which is partly to blame for that mess is still getting his fat pay check every week and never think one day how his bills going to pay for because you are paying for them. These republicans claim that they are conservative and religious and the democrats are not while all of them are doing the same things. What is the difference by telling abortion is wrong when you doing it behind the close doors. These are selfish republican’s behavior. According to statistics abortions, divorce, gay and lesbian have almost the same proportion among church people than non church people. You need common sense leadership. We do not need selfish leadership. Can you afford to have these selfish leaders in office again?
They had tried everything and I tell you it is nasty. These republicans believe that they have not done enough damage to this country and they are trying to scare you. What is that mean now? When they say that his aunt is here illegally. If you an American you an American and I think your background, your religion, and race should not be matter.
Now that socialism, terrorism do not work they want to bring these nonsense to scare you America. The economy is issue # 1 and they had chosen not to talk about and try to scare you with these nonsense. This war need to come to an end because $10 billions dollars a month can do a whole lot here in the US from job creation to education and infrastructure improvement. Our current president is a republican and they had done enough to our economy and job market.

Ahhh, Joe Biden realizes who is likely to be the next President, so now he's hedging his bets. Smart guy.

Carlos November 1st, 2008 10:34 am ET

It really ticks me off how . . . You need to learn a little bit about how the tax system works , , , That That would require some efoort, nopt to mention, intelligence
----------------------------–
Go ahead, Carlos - please enlighten us on how it works - you sound like just the guy who can do it! And while you're at it, try learning how to spell!

IDIOT!

MY comment is awaiting moderation? Are you kidding?

"FOR ALL WE KNOW MCSENILE HAS POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME !!"

-Posted by blkkbbeauty

I have combat-induced PTSD (they label it a disorder now, not a syndrome), and I think perhaps you should get your facts straight as to what PTSD actually is, and how it affects people, before you open your mouth. Nobody that I know that has PTSD (which I imagine is far more people than you know), has ever done even accidentally had an act of violence, or have done anything out of rage. Senility is a completely different case. Based on Sen. McCain's fully released medical files, he does not suffer from dementia (AKA senility), or PTSD.

PTSD is not something you can simply cover up. You cannot choose the moments in time that you remember a fragment of your best friend's brain ending up in your mouth after a hollow point impacts his skull, you can't choose the moments that you remember scrambling to aid the 15 burnt and dismembered bodies of your platoon all over the ground and hearing the same guys that you used to drink with or go to the club with scream out in pain.

So if he does have PTSD, why don't you take some time to thank him for bearing the responsibility that you were far too cowardly to bear instead of using it as a precursor to hate the man. He has many other flaws that you can smear without having to unjustifiably hate a natural human reaction to carnage.

Republican fear tactics.
Hussein is just a name is that suppose to scare people? when you are a baby you do not choose how you want to name yourself this is just good sense. In America you will find different name from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Peter, George Bush, Sammuel Alito and etc. This is a multy culture country and people from different part of the are leaving here and they name their kids accordingly. That do not make the kids bad or a terrorist; in fact they are American like all of us. We have people from Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Lybia, Venezuela leaving in the USA and the fact that they have roots from these country do not make them bad people.

LuckyRiff.......

And your point is????

As desperate as your party is to take a single word, and turn it into " a story" i too would be practicing 24/7 and making sure my every word was deliberate & on message.

At least Biden doesnt claim that the VP runs the congress!

I'll also betcha Biden wouldnt go hunting and shoot another human being! (OOPS.... gosh.... so sorry i shot ya! but look at the good side.... at least your not dead like thousands of americans are in IRAQ!)

And Biden isnt going to force me (by laws) to have a baby by someone who rapes me! (You were raped? OH GOSH, your bad! Now as your reward, you have to carry that baby for the next 9 months and give birth to it because my religion trumps your stupidity in putting yourself in a position of being raped!)

I really do respect Joe Biden. As a member of the US Senate for 35 years, you got to expect what the guy is talking about. McCain really has no room to call the Obama-Biden ticket inexperienced. McCain and Palin together has about 28-29 years of experience. Obama and Biden together has about 39 years of experience on the ticket. So in other words John McCain has no room to talk about Obama having no experience on his ticket. Obama08.

blkkbeauty – Your comments are a disgrace, and you should be ashamed.

I want to know why Biden would even want to be friends with "this" McCain, who clearly is not the same McCain he used to know..I really want to know more about McCains "black" daughter too, and have seen the series on McCains other black relatives TOO, who he refuses to have anything to do with even though his brother DOES and attends all family reunions ! Also want to SEE Palins medical records, hear more about Palins Alaska charges and outcome, it appears to ME, there is more left un said about McCain and Palin than Obama..all the dirt has already been thrown at Obama, and he has had to take it, and still remains calm, and respectful ..and knowledgible, ready for office...
voted for OBAMA already in tEXAS

blkkbeauty – Your comments are a disgrace, and you should be ashamed.

Joe is a nice, sweet and honest guy. What would someone like him even want a friendship with McCain for? I am also very worried that somehow the ballot boxes are rigged...and that is why they keep talking about how close it is. Obama and Biden can be proud of the campaign they have won. They didn't get personal or hit below the belt. The argued policies. McCain and Palin, on the other hand, have called Obama a liberal, a Socialist, hinting he is a communist, pals around with terrorists, etc. They've done nothing to stop the jokes about Hussein Obama, and little jokes about Osama...whoops, I mean Obama. Joe the Plumber is just a cheap and stupid trick. It's the dumming down of America big time. Someone like Biden as a running mate is refreshing. At least he isn't getting his votes by wearing skin-tight skirts, and even as Tim Gunn put it, "Weaing Disco Barbie Boots." When Obama and Biden win, at least they have won "fair and sqare!"

Refreashing to hear this news, too bad McSame can't say the same thing.

I would much rather have a VP that's not afraid to speak his mind, even if he ends up putting his foot in it, than a VP that can't get her job description straight, does NOT know the Constitution of the US, and can only speak if she's given a script.

You go, Joe.

Joey Hairplugs has more indepth knowledge of what? Certainly not the facts! During the VP candidate debate, he said that the French helped us(America) kick Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon in 2006.
I was waiting for him to channel John Belushi and say, "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" While he did sound like he knew what he was talking about, he clearly didn't!
Slow Joe showed his international brilliance by stating, “Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran,” in response to 9/11.
The only thing Senator Biden has proven is that he is unworthy to hold the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, or any governmental position for that matter.

The "muzzled Biden" rumor was a smear game by McCain's campaign again! This is a usual strategy that veep candidate maintains his/her supportive role in order not to distract the presidential candidate.

Is it time for Obama Biden?
Biden was silenced by the campaign since he cannot follow script!
Obama when rarely off script gets the reaction like to Joe the plumber.
Obama-Beiden= Holywood in its best, no authenticity.
Obama-Biden = the mother of all negative campaigning claiming Bush = McCain (a basic logical fallacy, McCain is not a typical Republican).
No extreme: no socialistic Obama and no extreme-Mercantelism Bush style. America stick to the middle! Extreme "solutions" never work!

Uuuummmmm. "talinopower"

Under $250,000 will not see an increase...

This means, some get cuts, and some stay at the ALREADY LOW RATE UNDER BUSH!!!!! To know exactly who gets cuts vs. who stays the same, go to Obama's website. There is a tax calculator there where you you can enter your information and get the facts.

Get the facts and remember...we all have to pay for Bush/McCains war without sacrificing what we need here at home.......................................

Ok, Biden, how about we just go ahead an elect John McCain. You like him, right? You've practically just endorsed him. I hope McCain end his campaign with strength too.

On November 5 we will all still be Americans - with big challenges.

We expect our leaders to put differences aside and work together.

Obama 08!

I think McCain if he loses will have the most sour case, of sour grapes imaginable because he believes he's ENTITLED to be POTUS. I don't think Biden need worry about McCain he won't be wanting to talk to either Barack or Joe anytime soon!

Biden is a drag on the campaign.. he was right, Obama should had picked Hillary! BTW: new poll released, more and more Americans are growing more confident of Governor Palin. and those same Americans believe that Biden is a drag... he can't bring in the same crowds that Palin brings.. so CNN, keep on spinning

If Palin can avoid the reporters, what's the big deal on Biden??? the national news media have been drulling to get interviews with Palin, yet Biden has done interviews and talked with reporters. Why is this news on Biden talking with the media? The media need to muzzle themselves, and stop looking for that " big scoop" and report the news as given.

This comment is not relevant to Sen. Biden, but was to do with those on Fox News, and these blogs screaming that that commercial that show a clip of Palin winking after McCain quote about relying on his VP pick for advice on ecomonic matters was "misogynistic"and "sexist".

(The commercial was spot on, by the way...LOL)

As a woman, winking...er flirting, with the audience, has NO PLACE ON A NATIONAL STAGE. This type of behavior belongs in a 1950's sitcom. If a woman wants to be strong, she needs to prevent herself seriously. I wouldn't dream of going to a job interview and winking at a panel interviewing me. The campaigns are nothing more than extended job interviews in which the panel is the American people.
I think her obvious lack of knowledge, vicious attack methods, and annoying mannerisms are the reasons why her favorability ratings are the lowest for a VP candidate in US history.

For the few Hillary supporters who moved to McCain because of Palin...I beg you, study up on Clinton's policies and contrast them with Palin's and you will discover polar opposites. VOTE ISSUES, NOT GENDER!

Peace!

Hey Tainopower, can you read, are you smarter than a 5th grader?
$250,000 no tax increase for working families
$200,000 no taxes increase for individuals
$120,000 to $150,000 is where the MAJORITY of the tax cuts will be (that is what Richardson and Biden were taking about)
$42,000 is a misrepresentation by McCain/Palin (AGAIN) is was a budget vote not a tax vote.
By the way Palin got her ONCE (not any more)high Alaska approval rating by RAISING the TAXES the OIL Companies and "Spreading the Wealth" to the people of Alaska by giving EVERYONE of them checks but her words were "an Equitable Share", oh and look what she did to Wasilla with the Ice Rink (mega debt to a small town)
MCCAIN is ONLY going to cut taxes if you make OVER $250,000.
But Gee, at least Ombam/Biden give you details to ponder, Mc Sleaze/No Ehtics Palin, only give you buzz words no detail,or attack Omaba,being a POW 41 years ago does not automatically make to ready to lead this country or that he was tested, he broke and sign a letter of confession to the Vietcong, many Vietnam era Vets call him Songbird McCain (my Ex did 3 tours in the 70's...Country First My A____! The choice of Palin made it very clear it is Politics First, I go into a cold sweat anytime I think what his cabinet would look like.
We NEED the really Smart Guy...yeah "THAT ONE",Colin Powell said it all.

You obama supporters better wake-up before Tuesday!!! Last Chance to save our country and vote McCain/Palin!!!! obama has one plan and one plan only – destroy our country!!!Why do you think all the biased news medias are so in the tank for him!!! obama already voted to raise taxes on people making $42,000 or less and his campaign speeches are already on a sliding scale of his version of who needs to get taxed and who doesn't!!!

Muzzeled is definitely the word! The thing is the truth about Obama comes out thanks to Biden. At least now a lot of us know how other Democrats really feel and Biden is right to talk about Obama weaknesses! There are too many and that"s why I will not vote for him!

mccain shouldnt have taken the low-road. obama never left the high road. i vote for honor. i vote for barack.

Hey Joe...you got any illegal alien relatives living in public housing like your partner?

Oh wait...it's ok to be illegal if you support the Demoncrats.

Yeah, Biden's a deep thinker, alright. That's his two-letter word: J-O-B.

Hasnt anyone noticed that over the last 8 years we have had the largest redistribution of wealth in the history of this country? From the bottom straight to the top. Does this mean that the republicans are socialist? No, sounds more like Facist.

I understand the sadness Biden must be experiencing. I had a lot of respect for McCain at one time and it saddens me to see what has become of him in the name of power.

The big difference between Biden's Gaffes and Palin's are that Biden says things that are true but probably shouldn't be said in the midst of a campaign. Where as Palin gaffe's reflect on her ignorance and lack of understanding on the issues.

Man, I sure don't want the DMV running my heathcare... Whoa.

Meh, its politics. Pity if he lost a friend over it though.

Tainopower, do you even KNOW what YOUR candidate's tax plan is? Well I do – first you will have to add in what your employer pays for your health insurance to your income. Then you will be taxed on that income. You will pay more in tax than you do now. Even with the "bare bone" he is throwing you (the $319 that he is giving to average incomes), you first have to add in the $5,000 to $10,000 that your employer pays for your health insurance. Your tax will increase under McCain's plan. Unless, that is, you are a millionnaire, in which case you'll see a huge tax reduction. That is McCain – always looking out for the rich guy.

Forget the election:

Since Barack Obama has proven he will be the most wonderful leader ever, by virtue of his coolness, lets just forego all elections.

OBAMA '08-'58'!

Who needs democracy!? Let's make him king for the next 50 years!

why does McCain think he is the only MAN OR WOMEN THAT HAS BEEN IN WAR AND BEEN A P.O.W. i hate to tell him, but there is a lot of there them out there, but they don't get to tell there stoy's. what about them. I will talk for them, they need to get to tell ther story's.McCain want us to think he is the only one to go though that. i am so tried of listen To poor OLD MCCAIN What in did for the war and our people. i want to thank my husband and the rest of our p.o.w and the other's that lost a lot in all the war. i t make me sick HE IS THE ONLY ONE TO HELP OUR CONUTRY. THINK PEOPLE THERE IS MORE OUT THERE THAT GAVE MORE THAN HIM. THANK YOU

It is strange to hear two candidates.... and the Clintons speaking about the issues.... yes, in very strong terms, but not attacking the repubs two candidates as human beings.

Whatever happens, Obama and Biden come out of this standing on their two legs upright as Human Beings. While McCain and Palin are like Four Leggeds of the lowest level.... if you lie down with pigs, do not be surprised if you get up smelling like HOGS. McCain and Palin will be a long time shaking off the nasty oder of the way they have run their campaigns! I for one will never forget the stench.

Proud to have voted for Obama and Biden and a straight Democratic ticket! Proud to be an American Indian... .a First Nations American voting for my choice for the direction of this country. No more Bush years! Clinton days are a coming back!

I see someone claim "Biden is a deep thinker."

I guess that explains why he think "JOBS" is a three-letter word. Or why he would tell a guy in a wheelchair to stand up. Or why he think America and France drove Hezbollah out of Lebanon (where in the world did his aneurysm-rattled brain get that one?).

Biden is an exceptionally scrambled "thinker".

Biden will not be muzzled because he tells it like it is. The fact that clever Rovian McBush aids twist his words does not alter the real truth.
I think the relationship between Biden and McBush is strained because Biden is disgusted with the low brow tactics of the McBush campaign.

Who would want to be friends with Joe Biden?

When I were young my Daddy always talk about the Queen of England and now I still feel closes to English speaking people. Said enough.

If the polls are right, Americans are going to be stuck with Obama for at least four years. Given the unrealistic hope for change that he and his media acolytes have built up, the disappointment that will set in once the electorate realizes that it has been fooled into buying an empty smooth-talking suit full of hot air will be even greater. I predict that Obama's inability to change anything, except the amount of money that will be wasted by his administration, will result in enormous mid-term Congressional gains for the Republicans in 2010. Like Jimmy Carter, Obama is an ostensibly decent man (although one of even less substance) who was never cut out to hold the nation's highest elected office. Like Carter, he will turn out to be a disappointing failure and a one-term president. If the law can ever be changed to allow those who were not born in the U.S. to run for President, a certain California governor might be able to turn all the blue states the deepest shade of red in a future election. Speaking of the foreign-born (as a former native of Chile, that applies to me as well, by the way) , will Obama ever produce his birth certificate? The country will face an interesting legal problem if Obama wins the Presidency and is later found out not to have been legally entitled to run for the office because he was not born in the United States.

It is time to vote for Barack Obama

Joe Biden is too good a guy not to say something like this folks.

I tell ya what though; my slash and burn campaign against the Republicans will never stop, even with an Obama win. The Republicans are totally out of touch, and starting to look irrelevant in the modern political landscape. We've seen what the policies of the GOP, McCain & Bush get us.....2 wars, a collapsing economy, bailouts for 700 billion+, Al Qaeda strongest it's been since 2001, Pakistan deteriorating, an emboldened Iran, Collapsed Housing Market, The world hates us, on and on it goes.

The Republicans can never be allowed to control both branches of Government again.

Hey... McCain, Joe the plumber is not really a plumber, sooooo why do you keep calling him a plumber????? Also why has Palin not released her medical records could it be that they would reveal the Palin gave birth to only 4 children and not 5.

I can't wait t'ill this is all over! I've never been one who had any interest in politics – I find myself constantly on CNN waiting for breaking news... all the name calling and put downs by the so call GOPs. ENOUGH!!! – 2 more days to go! let us all pray and visualize Obama/Biden winning at a landslide...

How can McCain win PA when he never visited the city of Philadelphia, where the blacks live. North Philadelphia, Germantown? We have not even seen a McCain flyer or anyone working on his behalf. I guess we are invisible, too black for him to see us huh. Well Mr McCain we will see you on Tuesday at the polls get ready to party.

A bitter fight is a fight, but eventually, you'll have to find that INNER GUTS to sit together.

The Bush hated Clinton and yet, when Clinton opened up his library, the Bushes were there.

Vote, vote, vote. Make it a landslide so this thing is not tied up for months in the courts. We do not want the supreme court to pick our president again.

After his performance in this election, Joe BETTER maintain his friendships across the aisle. He sure hasn't done anything to endear himself to the left.

From a Canadian neighbour to my US neighbors. Elect Obama, you will be glad you did. He represents views in the majority of the G8 countries. I know he is be called a Left Liberal. But then Palin is SO Right Rebublican, they probably meet around the bend.

The most richest, most powerful country in the world can't afford medical insurance for 47 million people.

In Canada, Brittain, Germany and more every citizen has health care. Next to the War, which the majority of the world condemns, your health care and economy will be straightened out by Obama and is highly educated economic team.

Joe Biden is a fool. Most writers to this blog will disagree, but it's obvious. If you listen to what he said about Barack Obama during the primaries, and listen to him now, he is in essence calling himself a liar. That's what a fool does.

BM
You will clean up corruption, McSame? What was the Keating 5 all about? Seems to me that started the corruption in Washington!

I would suggest you read some facts rather than vomit the nonsence you hear on the web. The prosecutor insisted McCains name be taken off this list of the "Keating Five" but since the other 4 were Democrats, a deal was struck to leave him on. The Prosecutor (Bennett, a lifelong liberal Democrat) said McCain should not have ever been implicated in this, he is totally innocent.

McCains name was left on so fools like you could crow about it 25 years later.

Joe Biden rocks.

I have noticed this of CNN. They struggle hard to conceal their disdain for Obama in the guise of being neutral. I also wondered why Anderson Cooper and John would accentuate not just the feelings of African Americans but make it appear asif Obama’s win is only important to Blacks. Remeber also that after being dissed by Maccain Larry King chose to have him on on the same day the channel rejected Obama’s infomercial. What is more, they went ahead and scheduled Cindy Maccain for maximum impact on Monday evening. In reality CNN is worse than Fox. At leas we know where Fox stand. the hypocricy of CNN is shocking.

The absolute venom that I read from people on these articles is disgusting. You say the worst things about republicans as if their opinion doesn't count as much as yours because they don't scream it hysterically. What happened to the party of acceptance?

When it looked like Palin was muzzled you screamed about it, now you deny it about Biden! Turn it around and look at it RATIONALLY. It does appear so – admit it. Stop using your intellect by just screaming the DEM party line – it makes me want to vote Repub – just to not be identified with such venom-spewing robots.

Use your logic, not your hate to make remarks and these comments can be useful. Anytime CNN prints something not along your line of thinking you go into attack mode – as if CNN is making up news!

Turn it around: if Freddie Mac gave millions to the republicans (like they did the dems) and those same senators VOTED to bail out FM, you would be SCREAMING about it. Other way around and you all say "so what?" as if there isn't a conflict of interest there. There are so many things you need to look at logically.

OBAMA AND BIDEN ARE GOING DOWN!!!!

MCCAIN RULES!!!!!!

Blkkbeauty: "Stop slinging kindergarden insults and act like an adult !!!"

We should all act like the adult you are. ****"low life" "Mcsenile" "post traumatic stress syndrome !!" "put down the crack pipe" "Sarah Failing"****. I hope you see the irony in your post.

Rush L. is right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already cannot stand Obama. I will never call him my President

Voting for McCain for lower taxes is like shopping at Walmart. It seems like a good idea at the time but what do you get? You get cheap goods that are made by sweat shops. You get pink slips from your employer and then no way of buying the Walmart specials. Let's face it, nobody reading this post will actually be paying more in taxes under Obama other then the fact that you actually might have a job therefore will pay more in taxes. Wake up people, when was it okay to use Totalitary governments slave labor to make our goods? McCain wants to reward big coorporations for exporting our jobs. I'm all for global trade, only it should be for the countries that play by our standards. It is up to our Government to regulate, something that McCain opposses. Stop shopping Walmarts and vote for Obama!

November 1st, 2008 10:38 am ET

He should not want to be friends with such a low life, just because you were a POW in a war , Doesnt qualify one to be president of the United States… for all we know Mcsenile HAS post traumatic stress syndrome !!

Well just because you’re the freshmen of the senate with no military experience, executive experience, and a history of 20 year support of racial segregation semi-racist church as well as various terrorist connections (like Obama has) does not make you qualified to be President of the United States either.

Joe Biden is full of life and intelligence. He is a fine family man who has never belonged to a successionist organization or abused the ethics of his office. I am pleased to Vote Obama/Joe the Biden.

I am so tired of hearing Biden is being Muzzeled...... when Palin was hid from reporters for so long.... and the press and media attacked if they questioned anything...

Everyone knows about Joe's mouth... and his experience and his ethics.. and he is out on the trail answering questions...

We can tell the different between the righteous man and the small-mined one through what they said. Biden understands the friendship should be separated from politics. I have seen and heard some Republicans are hostile to the Democrats or vice versa. I believe, regardless of whether we are Republicans, Democrats, or Independents we are still all people of America. If we can’t live in harmony here in the U.S. would the people in the world believe America is a sincere peacekeeper?

Forget about the party, forget about race, forget about gender, VOTE for the one who you believe will bring hope to this country, fairness to people, and likely to be loved by the world.

If this country has been in trouble deeper and deeper, it would be wiser to turn the wheel to a different direction. At least it would bring some hopes.

Please VOTE according to your own INSTINCT.

Big Biden fan here! If he feels good about the race then so do I!
Obama Biden 08

TK, Dallas, TX: That was a very interesting story. Well said. We cannot trust a person who agreed with Bush on most economic policies to preside over the US.

So what else is new with the OBAMA campaign. If they are not muzzling the Press that don't agree with them then they are muzzling their own guy. Wake Up America this CLOWN is BAD NEWS. CNN won't post this but they are just like OBAMA and that they can not handle those that oppose them and their thoughts.

Bidan does not need to be muzzled!! Mccain and palin need to be muzzeld!! including his hero ... Joe the nonpumber!!! how scarey is that !! Mccain plans to take him to washinton!! actully he may be a better vp than Palin!!!!!

November 1st, 2008 10:38 am ET

The difference between Biden and Palin is that Biden is a deep thinker and Palin is an slogan spouter. He puts his foot in his mouth sometimes because he is constantly thinking, analyzing, examining the issues.

The difference between Biden and Palin is that Biden lacks good judgment of character and attentiveness to his campaigns and voters money. Biden (unlike Palin) was set to run against Bush in 2004, but he used poor judgment in trusting someone to manage his campaign funds, and this someone (Roger Blevins III) knew of Biden lack of attention to the voters money enough to be able to slowly steal ALL of the money voters trusted him over the span of a year and half and smile in Biden’s face about it day after day. This is not the same as someone just suddenly taking your campaign money and running with it. It takes someone with lack of judgment as well as inattentiveness to their own campaign to miss all of the money voters trusted them with being stolen over an extended period of time. To this day Biden remain the Senator who has had the most embezzled from him in history, and the only one to have it slowly embezzled over time. I bet you Obama or Clinton or McCain would have caught all their money being stolen from their campaign and you want to know why, because they are attentive enough to hold the job they do and Biden is not....this is why Biden is not president right now, and Bush is. The reason this form of embezzlement never happens to senators is because most of them do pay attention to the money voters trust them with, unlike Biden. Biden is not the kind of man we need in the white house, he is obviously as old and bald as McCain, but with worse judgment and a far higher lack of attentiveness.

Everyone is talking about white people not voting for Obama but what about the fact that 95% blacks are backing Obama. Why cant people point fingers at them . Isn't this racism and being biased towards Obama.

McCain/Palin 08

I liked McCain the man, dislike his policies. But the man lost his face and his soul using tactics and a huge amount of populism to beat his opponent. His strength was integrity. He lost that substance, turning out to be as shameless as many of his colleagues. He lost, even if he wins the elections (can't bear the thought).

it seems like anyone interested in voting would listen to what a campain has to say. all that the McCain-Palin campain has to say falls under the heading of either trash or lies and thats all we would ever get out of them if they were to obtain office (some things never change) they truly are just like what we already have in office

Obama is a clear thinking intelligent man......McCain has proved that he has a muddled old mind.........who do you want as President and leader of the free world ???????

knowing McCain hes a your with me or against me fool so probably the friendship is over.

Obama is really what this country needs. think long and hard, we're in time of war, terrible economy and in urgent need of an actual energy policy. Obama is perfect for the times we face. McCain showed lack of judgement, and let politics run his campaign, when he picked Palin. Romney would've been the better choice for VP. Go back and listen to Romney speak, and play it side has by side Palin.
Obama hasn't switched views to try and satisfy his base. McCain, I'm sorry, It's not your time this year either.

There's something we can all take from this election that tends to please me. That the skeletons which we've hidden behind in the country has been exposed for all the world to see. Under the blanket of what we call the United States of America we're divided. Friends they may be, as McCain has stated, "politics is a nasty business". If you don't want your skeletons exposed don't get involved. But we have more than an economy to fix, we have a Nation to mend and heal as well.

Isn't Biden the plagerizer in chief? I think he might be the dumbest vp candidate in the modern era.How can Biden say McCain is wrong on all foreign policy issues and have voted with him and against Obama's positions. What a robot. Go Palin and McCain!

Off the subject just a little...

I live in Phoenix and the McCain/Palin are running ads now (they ARE shakin' in their boots) and you guessed it – It's Rev. Wright.

Do the neocon repugliCONs that McCain/Palin represent know anything but "fear, smear, mock and LIE"?

McCain, his campaign and the repugliCON party as well have proven to be nothing but toxic slime merchants who think repeating "Country First" will fool the voting public.

Tuesday they will find out that hate and race baiting is a repugliCON tactic of the past (unless you live in TX, AL, MS or IN) and we ain't buyin' it any more...

PS: Let's give Mexico what they want – Give'm Texas back because those folk are definately NOT American, just racists and bigots...

If you pay attention you will see that McCain and Palin have made their share of gaffes during this election. When McCain and Biden make mistakes verbally, it is just an unintentional slip. When Palin appears to stick her foot in her mouth, it seems like more of a Freudian slip.

Of course he does, Biden sucks! One of the worst VP picks ever! Me and my family are all voting for McCain, and we were Dems until this year.

DON'T WORRY !!

AFTER THE ELECTION MCSAME WILL DENI

ALL HE SAID & ASK FOR AN HONORABLE

POSITION FOR A DISHONORABLE MAN, HIMSELF.

How sad our America has become. We listen to all the lies of the campaign and some of us are very affected by the remarks. I for one keep it simple- I pray GOD put into office the one who will lead our country out of this terrible mess. I am a republican but will vote for Obama. In my opinion he will be the best one to lead with his calm and poised attitude. But still only GOD knows who is best. We will see next Tuesday. JUST GET OUT AND VOTE EVERYONE 1

Biden was really a better pick than McCains choice for Palin. Palin has no substance. She just shouts out well learned slogans and old nasty speeches. Palin shouldn't come closer to the White House than now.

I've grown up in a Republican based family until the 2004 election.. It's clear that Obama is the best choice for this country with the Karl Rove style strategies that the GOP has been using. They don't try to appeal to voters on issues.. instead they try to smear the other candidates with garbage.

I realize politics will always be politics, and I understand that the Dems haven't kept it entirely clean either, but when you choose Palin as a VP, it's pretty obvious you aren't going to have great judgement to run this country.

To those complaining about taxes.. why are you complaining if you're making over 200k? This country should require it's wealthier population to pay more than those who aren't as fortunate. I can say that I'm proud that my family will be voting for that.. to give back to this country that has given so much to them to help rebuild it

Obama Biden '08

I doubt Senator McCain is gonna lose sleep over a liar like Biden.

If Biden's team wins, though, a lot of Americans will lose sleep.

I kinda hope Dems win this election; the next four years will be enough to insure Republicans win the next 10 elections.

Jo Biden has nothing he needs to prove.Americans already knows him.I would not say another word either tis late in the game so repugs would maybe have a chance to spin something stupid.Its almost over Joe you done your job great.Bye Bye McPalin.

Am I ever glad this election is about over! A clear majority seem to want Senator Obama to win, which is pretty obvious. What troubles me is the Republican bloggers seem to have adopted the McCain/Palin attack dog style, and have little to no respect for a differing opion. Being able to have your own opinion is one of the many reasons american is so great. A truly "great" american will support whomever wins this election and work to unite this country once again. I'm not at all happy with what's happened during the George W. Bush Presidency, but I supported him as our president. I'm not really happy with either of our presidential choices this year, but I did vote for whom I thought was best for our country and I will support whomenver wins! I hope you'll all join me in supporting what's looking more & more like an Obama Presidency!

McCain is not a lowlife; he is an honorable man who truly believes he can lead the country out of this mess. Unfortunately, he is out of touch and out of step with the shift that is beginning to take place throughout the world - and that is a shift to cooperation rather than divisiveness. As much as many Americans like to believe we are "in charge", we are not! We are a member of a global community and we are responsible for our actions in that community - and military action should be a last resort, not a kneejerk reaction. McCain was born and raised in a military family, spent years in a POW camp - his world view is too limited to handle the many, many problems that exist in today's world.

thank you for making it so obvious that YOU, CNN, are in the neo-con zionist pocket.

people, check out who is on mcshameless-failin palin campaign.

and who the voters are in those treacherous states like FLORIDA,

and why they wobble and twist their political body into pretzel, LOL.

they don't know what to make of failin palin's abject anti-semitism and

their perception of Obama's "anti-semitism".

Let's see...what will Obama's tax plan be today? $250,000...$200,000...$150,000 or $120,000? Gee, folks. Are ya really sure you can trust this guy? Do you understand that his plan basically would give a mere $500 per YEAR to people who don't even pay taxes, while his "redistribution of wealth" would impact small businesses and hurt the economy. Businesses HIRE and PAY people, Gov. doesn't.

Geesh Senator Biden, why are you so worried about John McCain's feelings?.....seeing how your own church won't even let you take communion now and knowing that you, too, are also only one heart beat away from eternity, I think I'd be more worried about someone else I made mad first! John McCain is the least of your problems buddy!

There will be alot of muzzeling and retaliations under the Communist Obama regime, Biden and most of the other Democrats just aren't smart enough to see it yet. God save the United States.

The only places I have heard the muzzling comments were from John McCain campiagn staffers and the Druge Report., but I am sure Politico has some comment about it by now, as a way to generate some fake news. CNN the best fact free news on television.

Friends or not, USA future is more important! It is difficult to be friend with a person who has constantly during this election cycle try to introduce fruadulents people to American!

- Why are Sen. McCain and his team using Joe the Plumber (a Fraud) to insinuate that "Obama's Presidency will mean the death of Israel"? That "real Americans vote for McCain" ??? Phonies
- Why has Sen. McCain not allowed Sarah Palin as promised alone to do interview with LKL, if she is qualified to be a VP of USA?
- Why is Sarah Palin’s windfall tax distribution to Alaskans not wealth distribution and “socialism”?
- Why are those checks from Bush Administration last May not wealth distribution and “socialism”?
Sarah Palin is a Fraud and must bet stopped before she messes up USA and the world

Obama will not renew the reductions in taxes.. Capital gains taxes will go to 20% in the beginning.. and maybe higher,
There will be more unemployment because of taxes on businesses, the oil drilling off the coastlines will not happen as fast, therefore protecting the middle east and the oil barons there.
What scares me about Obama is what he first started out as saying and what he is promising now. Who is going to pay for everything?
He is smart and speaks well.
Before you castr your vote, you need to look at records of both canidates.. the 'present' vote is one where a decision is not made.. Can he make decisions?

All I hear about the vice president nominees are they are saying things and going against the Presidential nominee. I think this bodes well for Obama because Biden hasn't spoken out as much as Palin. Sure when they do talk they are going to say things that don't always go along with the Presidential Nominee because if they were running it would be their views. Doesn't mean they don't agree in the majority with who they are running with.

For all those people who are voting McCain/Palin just because you think they have the same views as Hillary I think you need to just admit you are voting because there is a woman on the ticket. I'm all for women rights and all that stuff but just because someone is a certain race, gender, party line doesn't mean they will run the country in the correct manner. Know the views before you cast the vote.

Vote...bring snacks...be patient!!!!!!

Go Obama/Biden!

I think the Obama campaign needs to keep focused on the goal. Stay on the issues and the election. Get the vote out. A false since of the security is the worse place you want to be at point in the election. Let's push through the finish line. Let's finish the race because the race is definitely not over!!

Obama/Biden '08

Is is true that McCain's military records were sealed? Can CNN check this out? If so, why and at who's request?

A BIG ELECTION ABOUT SMALL THINGS!!!

Doesn't look like he is muzzled to me. But I know they are looking to twist anything he says to McCains favor. Not buying it CNN.

AGAIN – THIS IS NOTHING BUT PETTY AND RIDICULOUS GOSSIP!!! No wonder your ratings are in the dumps! When are you guys going to actually get serious about your jobs??????

With friends like McShame And Palin who needs enemies ??
Take a poll in Arizona & Alaska on that !

Muzzle...That would be Palin and her scripted speeches with a few flourishes on her own that haven't worked out so well.

With friends like McShame who needs enemies ??
Take a poll in Arizona & Alaska on that !

I thought that OBAMABI was in favor of CHANGE.
Why did he pick an old FA_T like Biden to be his VP in charge of nothing?

Carlos – your personal attacks on Tainopower are uncalled for. Quite frankly you should probably educate yourself on Obama's history. This is a man who has consistently voted for tax increases. The fact that he has not stated where he is going to get the money to pay for all the programs that he wants to dump billions into should have every taxpayer worried. Now that there are comments surfacing that his tax breaks are going to start to apply to fewer and fewer people, the American people should be focused on that. We have a candidate who has a history and an ideology of tax and spend, tax and spend. Maybe you want that in your next President, but you should not criticize people who suggest voters take another look.

I would be carefull of that friendship seems to me if you are not what john McCain stannds for your not worth his time.
I was watching the opening of John McCains rally last evening on Cnn with the Governor of California. I am absolutly disgusted at the way he made remarks about Senator OBama's arms,legs and such. The people in America deserve better than this type of terrible trash talk. And i see John McCain was just going along with it hoping the smear machine worked up the crowd. Not all in that audience liked what they were hearing from what we could see.
My Question is if John McCain is elected President will he consider laughing at all the different people under his care just because they are thin , a little over weight or maybe people with disabilities. I guess if you are not just like him you are considered a joke.
Shame on Arnold and even more shame on McCain.

Hey, why doesn't "Mr. Country First, Maverick" wears his flagpin? Notice how he has not worn a flagpin. I was just curious because he claims to be sooooo maverickeee . . . but doesn't show it by wearning the same pin that he had a problem with obama not wearing. What's up with that?

McCain was an honorable man once. I always had issues with his judgment but he always seemed to mean well. I never thought he would sink to the level of Rove politics. In many ways, he has sunk lower. Goes to show you what some will do for power.

McCain has others Joes to Kiss his crusty old...
like Joe the No Show wanna-be anything but a plumber And Joe Liarman the flip flopping putz, he does not need you. America needs you!

Obama/Biden wins by landslide and when virginia and florida results come in tuesday the western states will crater to the east coast results.

Joe Biden helped put laws in place that protect battered women.

Palin makes rape victims pay for their own rape kits, and wants to take away their right to end a pregnancy resulting from rape or incest.

I'm not sure why Joe Biden cares about remaining friends with McCain, but I guess he has his reasons. McCain only cares about himself and becoming president. His military record can't compete with his father's or grandfather's, so he has to become president to outdo them...Now, doesn't that sound eerily familiar?

Obama-Biden 2008, 2012

Biden shouldn't have anything to do with the Cowardly Liar until the country gets an apology from him for having run the filthiest Presidential campaign in modern American history.

McCain will be a great president, after reading this Biden just endorse McCain.

When there was that conflict in Georgia--–for whom did they ask and who went as US emissary---–Joe Biden........yes sometimes he talks too much and sometimes puts his foot in it - but which of us hasn't- it just makes him real...this year I was determined to vote FOR someone not against ..........while I still have questions about the top of both tickets---–voting FOR Joe Biden is easy–

I echo "let it go". No matter who wins, we need to stand y him and work with him to make the country better. Our system is full of checks and balances. We will bo O.K. no matter who gets in. If my candidate doesn't when I'm not going to be disappointed in the system. If he loses, he loses. Life goes on and I hope and pray for a better America and you should too. Enough said.

Antonio Beasley

USA '08
Jesus forever!!

Biden is just a weasel. He or Obama doesn't have a clue. Without a script, they both keep putting their foot in their mouth. Sooo funny to watch them try to get it out. Too bad we have all this fraud, now we'll probably be stuck with them for at least four years. God help us.

Was there a ticker when Palin the village idiot was "muzzled"?

McCain made his peace with the Vietcong, so I imagine he will forget Biden's mistreatment as well.

Ii don't care how many gaffes Biden make. He is still smarter then McPalin.

McCain has said Sen. Obama name so much in his speech. He will no doubt go into the voting booth and vote Obama.

I don't care I many gaffes Biden make. He is still smarter then McPalin.

McCain has said Sen. Obama name so much in his speech. He will no doubt go into the voting booth and vote Obama.

the count down
they had tried everything and I tell you it is nasty. These republicans believe that they have not done enough damage to this country and they are trying to scare you. What is that mean now? When they say that his aunt is here illegally. If you an American you an American and I think your background, your religion, and race should not be matter.
Now that socialism, terrorism do not work they want to bring these nonsense to scare you America. The economy is issue # 1 and they had choose not to talk about and try to scare you with these nonsense. This war need to come to an end because $10 billions dollars a month can do a whole lot here in the US from job creation to education and infrastructure improvement. Our current president is a republican and they had done enough to our economy and job market.

I pray after Obama is elected that all our politicians will get along for a change. There is too much wrong wit our country for in fighting. Loss is not new to McCain. He will get over it in time. In two years he will/should retire anyway.

I think the attempted control by the press by the Obama campaign is a serious issue. Facts – Three papers that all coincidentally had endorsed McCain were kicked off the Obama plane this week, to make room for Essence and Ebony magazines, which are monthly publications that don't need the same access as daily papers. An Orlando news station was denied further access to the Obama campaign after asking Joe Biden tough questions. Having a free press is a key part of a free society, so the Obama campaign punishing those who disagree with them as an attempt to control what is said is a real issue. If they are this bad now, what will it be like once they are in the White House?

I believe in my heart the Republican party has been hijacked and is being held hostage by small minded, extreme thinking folks who really want to stuff God down our throats...there is NO place for their religious rapture in our lives...do not tell me you go to church and are a Christian and in the next breath...spew hate...I'm not fooled...
Republicans! ...take back your party...rid yourselves of the Demons hiding behind the Bible..return to loving your neighbor as yourself...go back and ponder the likes of Tom McCall from Oregon...Ronald Reagan...good and decent men., true Republicans in the best sense of the word...seperate religion from politics...there is good in all manner of individuals...please become someone we can debate and find our way with...the world needs what we had before these nasty folks took over...find your hearts...and redeem your souls!

We are in the batter box let's knock a Home run Democrats. Yes let's be patience in those long line don't give up We got them just where we want them Outta here..............Obama and his team has ran a very Outstanding campaign you have to give it up to them. just think how his cabinet would run he is so smart and intelligent and a very patient man and a great fatherI thank Michelle Obama for letting the world see how great her husband is and I know he will do the right things and make a GREAT PRESIDENT..........P.S. i VOTED 10/20/2008

Biden by his flaking for personal injury lawyers has helped to destroy
small business in this country. These lawyers make is unaffordable
to get reasonable insurance and put folks out of business everyday
all around the country with their slip and fall lawsuits. I simply cannot
believe that anyone who runs a small business would support Obama
and Biden

And herein lies the differences between the two campaigns. Biden took the opportunity to extend an olive branch and depite their differences, hope that fences can be mended. If the scipt were flipped, I'm sure that Palin or McCain would have taken the opportunity to point out how their opponents are "terrorist sympathizers", "socialists" or some other type of outrageous claim.

Take note right-wing puppets, the Obama/Biden campaign has taken the high road for the most part and that's one big reason they're winning. Most people just aren't dumb enough to be lead around by the "swift boat" tactics anymore and can see right through them. Biden has just showed you how the playbook has changed.

WELL, THE FACT THAT THE RNC HAS NOTHING ELSE

TO SAY ABOUT JOE THE PROFESSOR, IS A TESTAMENT

TO HIS CHARACTER, HONOR & INTELLIGENCE. ITS A

SHAME WE CANT ATTRIBUTE ANY OF THAT TO EITHER

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS VOTED!

COME ON EVERYONE WHO HAS NOT YET VOTED GET OUT THERE!

THANK YOU TO ALL THE REPUBLICANS & INDEPENDENTS VOTING FOR SEN. OBAMA!!

WE REJECT THE VILE POLITICS OF THE REPUBLICAN-HATE-LIES-FEAR-AND-DIVISION MACHINE!

Yes, McCain is offering a $5,000 tax credit and Palin advocates a huge boost to special needs children. I'm not sure I understand how that, and other spending promises, fit into McCain's plan to freeze spending.

Smoke and mirrors?

Biden at least has extensive foreign policy experience and can string together a coherent sentence or wait, make that a paragraph, and still make sense unlike the repub vp candidate.I can see OK from my house does that make me an oil expert?As for John no longer being his friend with friends like that who needs enemies? I seriously doubt he need be too worried though as John will sneak off into the desert sunset soon enough.Get out and VOTE

joe has better friends than mccain anyway...

Diplomatic Joe, but Mr. Creepy needs to get the boot. He's trapped in the last century.

NIXON, REAGAN, BUSH, BUSH . . . Republican leadership has gotten us where we are today. I wonder if when Sarah Palin gave each Alaskan that $2K+, wonder was that socialism or spreading the wealth! GO BIDEN 08. He will make a fine Vice President and is Presidential material FOR REAL. I am praying for him and Obama, the "Democratic party and their supporters. Keep your guns, keep your religion, READ yoiur bible, and GIVE ME THE CHANGE. Because of America's leadership positoin, the world is crying out for us to change because what happens to us, happens to them. We need Joe and Barack desperately.

Nobody 'muzzles' Joe Biden. The nice thing is that Barack Obama picked a running mate that doesn't need muzzling.

it is very difficult to take this man seriously, he would panic in a
heartbeat if put under pressure.

mccain should have pick al sharpton and them we would not be fighting about this dem and rep we all know that this is all about race we are the united states of america and we need to grow up

Right on, Rumel!! Obama/Biden '08!!

The question is, why would any one want to be the friend of McCain the traitor any way.

Well, at least Joe didn't misspeak or say something the GOP strategists can jump upon and misquote out of context. (I think)

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Don't woory, Joe. john won't remember that he's been hurt by anything said.
He puts his arm around Bush after bold , hateful lies in 2000.

Joe, you no longer deserve John's friendship.

Joe Biden is an idiot.

John McCain hung out with communists in the formative years of his life in Vietnam, so Joe will have to work with him when he is VP and Obama president, if we are to believe all the lies and propaganda that he has propagated during this campaign. Just be careful he doesn't try to shoot you in the back, Joe!

to all who will scream, "see, I told you, proof Obama is a terrorist"...be VERY VERY careful. This is an immigration issue and immigrant families may very well be the ones to decide this election....go ahead, alienate them, discriminate against them, let your hatred rear its ugly head....go ahead...point your fingers and refer to 'them' or 'that one'.....you will only hurt the party you claim to love.....I dare you to for just one minute have empathy for those who seek a better life in this wonderful country.....this is a test, how will you do?

I could not gbe friends with someone who has thrown the kitchen sink including the plumbing with it at me... John McCain will say and do anything to win... he lacks the judgement and expertise to get us back on track*

firstly, the average american makes around $40,000 a year. on the far lowest end it can be $15-20,000 and on the high end $60-70,000. so no one makes taht kinda of money and if they do then they don't need any help. that is wealthy to the average person who, even with college education, only makes $40,000 a year. so the nuimber keeps changing because the obama folks are tying ot deifne rich. a rich person only sees themselves rich at a million dollars, while us average folks see rich at $100K. so they are only trying to define it to the critics and punditst like Fox news and Sean Hannity and them. I hate those guys.

Well Biden you win some and you loose some and if you just happened to lose McCain then good riddence. As far as the muzzling goes, THE MEDIA IS SOOOOOOOOO BRAINED WASHED INTO BELEIVING THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN IS SO CORDIAL. The media has been engaged in Nasty politics for years and now that this year a new coalition has formed, the media is like a dog in heat stroking for dirt!

Well he'll make her a Citizen along with the other 20+ Million Illegal Alien parasites that have no respect for the law !!!!

With the personality of a used car salesman , and the foolishness of repeatedly defeated pesidential candidate ( but still grasping) Joe Biden has molded into a defender of Obama who has at the very least divided loyalty to America . If a person is sorry , great . But do not trust anymore.

Maybe Joe Biden had better look up the meaning of the word “scurrilous” before applying it to John McCain’s campaign.

Maybe Joe had also better look up the word “bold-faced lie” - now touting Obama as the best thing since sliced bread, while insisting earlier - “I think he can be ready, but right now I don’t believe he is. The presidency is not something that lends itself to on-the- job-training.”

The thing that Democrats find so “offensive” about McCain’s campaign is that it asks REAL questions about Obama and his policies.

Others don’t find that “offensive” at all – but, rather, an absolute IMPERATIVE in electing the next leader of the free world.

blkkbbeauty- For you to speak of a man who gave his life and liberties for you to spout your hatred is shameful. You are exactly the type of person drinking the coolaide for only race as your platform. As far as beauty, it is in the eye of the beholder, and you should look at yourself.

McLoser has lost, good luck with house and senate seats republicans

Joe is a bumbling fool. IF he gains the VP he will be the biggest laughing stock since Quayle. John McCain should shun this once friend. With friends like that who needs enemies????

What a joke

Joe, oh Joe.. You are a bumbling fool.. Nobody has listened when you said Obama was not ready to lead. Nobody listened when you said Obama will be tested because he is inexperienced and he needs our help and prayers.. Nobody listens to you. There is good reason for that, and John McCain should never speak to you again. You have smeared his good name, and said horrific things against someone who you called friend. It is typical of you.. McCain said nothing negative about you..

IF you are in office you will surely be the biggest laughing stock since Quayle.

Sorry Joe... In the Republican World if anyone has a difference of opinion, views, religion, thought, race, demographics or choice then you can not be their friend. Even more so, you can not even be American.

The Republican Party has become Anti-American and everything our country was founded upon.

You will not be able to speak with him unless you meet his preconditions which are to:

Admit Barack is a Terrorist
Admit Barack is not American
Admit Barack is not really half white... he misses the 1/8 rule so he is Black
Admit that Barack is a Socialist
Admit that Barack is the Anti-Christ
Admit that Sarah Palin is Smart and Capable
Admit the Surge has worked (even though we are still there)
Admit that Taxes on the Rich is un american
Drop out as Barack's running mate

Great for you Sen Biden to be able to forgive him! But don't forget that the evil nature that came through during his campaign is still lurking beneath the surface. Think hard about trusting him. Do you really want to pal around with him – given his erratic tendencies?
P.S. Chose you friends wisely!

OB08PLUS!

Palin will ask what is an endorsement .

"McCain – my dear, long-time friend...and a dangerous psychopath."

Right on, Mr. Biden.

McCain will endorse Obama on Monday night

all fair in love, war and politics. I hate him now. I love him later

For two days I have heard Joe Scarorough state that the Obama campaign have muzzled Joe Biden and today he said iden's campaign was a failure! I was stunned when he made those statements. I called him out. He is so pro McCain/Palin he cannot see straight

Joe Biden is great.

Then Joe should not have lied about his "friends" record and accomplishments. He and Obama are a couple of sleezes.

The difference between Biden and Palin is that Biden is a deep thinker and Palin is an slogan spouter. He puts his foot in his mouth sometimes because he is constantly thinking, analyzing, examining the issues. When he gets long winded you can see he is think about a topic and has a depth of knowledge. Palin on the other hand reads scripted comments and slogans from a telepromter like her old job reporting high school hockey scores. have her go off script and have an indepth conversation and you have her use slogans and "style" over substance like in the debates or an empty rambling mess like the Couric interview.

I heard Biden is excited about his big "one on one" sit down interview tomorrow night...the dems have him talking at a mirror for an hour. Way to throw him a bone Barry!! Then only guy that could make Dan Quayle look like a good choice. It's going to be a LONG four years of hiding this guy...nice decision!

He should not want to be friends with such a low life, just because you were a POW in a war , Doesnt qualify one to be president of the United States... for all we know Mcsenile HAS post traumatic stress syndrome !!
and to the bloger MN Voter, who called Michelle Obama ugly, he or she should probaly take a look in the mirror !! the b$&*# will then see how ugly jealously can be ! and if they put down the crack pipe they will also see how ridiculous John Mcain and Sarah Failing really are ! Stop slinging kindergarden insults and act like an adult !!!

Hey, Tainopower,

Do you keep copying the same old script for every ticker that comes out? How lame can you get.

Now, we all know your I.Q.

Next time, try hard to write something that is fair and balanced that does not misrepresent, mislead, falsify or lie on everything that Obama has been talking about. Of course, with McCain and Palin perpetually attacking Obama, I guess you have to follow suit a copy exactly what they spout.

reading all the comments on the news stories regarding the american presidential elections of 2008, i am coming to the conclusion that most of those who identify themselves as republicans and are supporters of sen. mccain/palin are intellectually-challenged, have a bigoted streak (think KKK!!!).

but i hope that the majority, nay the plurality of american voters will choose wisely their president and vice-president this time around because their country and the world could not tolerate and endure another bush-cheney tandem – their domestic and foreign policies have wrought so much damage to our world.

Joe Biden is making the right decision.

I would do the same thing too, if one of my friends was spreading awful lies about me, and denied any wrongdoing, and Biden's comment proves he is sincere with his decisions.

Biden. After 36 Years in the Senate, You Deserve being the Vice President of the United States.

Go Joe I still say God save this country if the Republicans stay in office. I might want to move into a cave until they go away. Please everyone get out and VOTE and leave the Right Wingers in the dust for once, and let the Dems put this country back together again.

It really ticks me off how some people take a bit of missinformation and hold spread it like evangelists spread the word of God.

TAINOPOWER you are clearly very stupid and very ignorant of the facts. McCain twists a piece of policy completly out of shape, such that it bears no resemblance to what is actually proposed, and, rather than (as aTHINKING person would do) scrutinize the claim and resaearch its validity, you run with the bull you are fed,

You need to learn a little bit about how the tax system works. That would be a good start. But you are too lazy, aren't you. That would require some efoort, nopt to mention, intelligence

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp, "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."..............DO NOT VOTE FOR mccain

TAINOPOWER – Get a clue everyone already knows..

The tax plan is as follows.

250K – 200,001K no tax cut , but no tax increase either...

200,000 – on down receives a tax cut... so they are all right in stating 150K will get a tax cut under his plan, 120K gets a tax cut under his plan, 5K gets a tax cut under his plan...

So get a clue and stop your SPIN....

OBAMA/BIDEN 08 12!

CLINTON 16 20!

katiec hit the nail on the head! McCain WAS a maverick at one time. A man of his word and honorable but he sold his core beliefs and integrity to the far right for his own benefit. Now he's just ICK.

McCain's campaign has set a new low – one can hope the moderate Republicans will toss the radicals and get back to where they belong in a decade or two (...).

The difference between the Obama push and the McCain push is just too much. Biden =should= be doubtful about what the future holds for his relationship with McCain; there are some things that simply aren't forgiven nearterm.

You will clean up corruption, McSame? What was the Keating 5 all about? Seems to me that started the corruption in Washington!

I keep hearing that Mccain is offering a $5,000 tax credit, In our area most people that really need health insurance do'nt make enought to need a $5,000 tax credit or for that matter a $5oo. They just need coverage. GA

You CONservatives are getting sad.

Anyone who believes McCain to keep taxes low is misinformed. He caters to the rich.He didn't marry Cindy because she was poor!

hey biden , so you wana be hanging arround the like of mccain even though he is a hater and fear mongerer, and use anything to devide people playing the race card, while you are for uniting, wow, i am surprise at your attitude, hey biden just punt his butt all the way to alaska

Let it go..........

admirable post, and certainly the mature way of looking at it. however, i myself will NEVER support nor rally behind a mcshame/palin administration should they find a way to steal this election. dont get me wrong, it wouldnt be a simple "sour grapes" reaction, because if john mccain (a man i once had a great deal of respect for even though i am a democrat) had run a decent and respectable campaign and ended up victorious, then so be it. tip of the ole cap.

but he chose to use these disgusting smear tactics and personal attacks, which only incited and fueled the bigotry of many americans. he spent far more time in this election trying to convince people why they should not vote for obama, rather than why america should vote for him. he has no honor left, he became a shallow old man willing to do anything and everything to win the presidency, he became everything he once claimed he stood against.

Can anyone really muzzle Senator Biden? I don't believe for a minute that the campaign has tried to muzzle him. Afterall, Senator Obama selected him not only because he felt Senator Biden will be the best vice president for our country, but also because Senator Biden in on record for thinking independently and for speaking his mind. When two people are always in sync, one of them may be unnecessary!

Tainopower

It helps not to be intellectuall lazy...do some reading, if you have access to the internet(s) then you should also have access to Obama's website, newspapers etc

You seem like the apathetic voters that McCain and Palin preys on while they screw you over just like Bush for the next 4 yrs...

Im making over the 250K, but I see the reason behind taxing me higher...

So much for a Christian country, where "Love thy neighbour" is only a quote in the Bible , but not a commandment..The US must have the highest concentration of fake christians per capita

katiec – You say the republicans go low and shady but the fact is that's where the facts on the democrat's lie, in low and shady places. We haven't forgotten Ayers, Wright. Rezko and Obama's desire to gravitate toward Marxist professors. All these are facts that have been uncovered by those who want to report on the true nature of Obama. Got a problem with that? Then you may be happier living in Iran.

Senator Biden is a man of intergrity. He will make peace with mcsame, sorry mccain.

OBAMB/BIDEN 2008/2012

TAINOPOWER – give it up. Everything you post is part of the McCain campaign talking points, i.e. a lie.

I read that McCain tends to consider people who go against him as 'enemies' so it may be the end of that friendship. It might be hard on McCain 's ego being friends with someone that most people now think is the better man.

Joe, I really think your old friend is not here with us any longer. I think the John McCain a lot of us admired and respected has lost his way. He has sold out to the Christian right and to the Corporate Regimes of this country just to win an election. Anyone who trys to divide America they way these two have, well, I have another word to call them and friend isn't one of them. To give up everything he stood for, he's very soul to be president reveals to the whole country what type of man John McCain really was. You didn't lose a friend Joe. You would never call a person a friend when he does something like that.

McCain has shown himself to be untrustworthy. I used to think he WAS a maverick. Now he has bought into the whole Republican philosophy and the far right wing part of the philosophy to boot. It's like I don't even know him anymore! I think maybe this is how Biden feels.

It is time for the extreme right wing party to go away. Hopefully a more moderate party will be able to form. I want my children to have choice just like Caribou Barbie. I suppose we really wont need to worry about the defunct GOP for at least 8 years.

I love Joe Biden, I think he is a great guy, but if I was running for President, I would muzzle him. He gave the Mccain campaign something to talk about, that is not his job. His job is to tell the American people why he thinks their ticket is the best choice for the people. I hope Obama/ Biden will win on Tuesday and show the country how dedicated they are to making our lives better. I believe in them and believe in their vision.

just go vote...

You know Joe,
It seems that your 'friendship ' with McCain is one-sided at best. He hasn't even acknowledged you this whole time during the campaign. You are starting to sound pathetic.

I still plan to vote for Obama even though Biden is a wet blanket.

The republicans will split off into two parties in 2012, the true fiscally conservative moderates and the right wing religious wackos. And the right wing wackos will select Sarah Palin and Joe Plumber as her vice president nominee.

Mccain will not want you as friend because he is bittered. He wanted to be president at all cost. No more country first for him but president first. he has got a new friend in palin who he believed is more experienced and better that you and obama put together.No one leaves the best and goes for mediocre. It can no longer be the same.

People can hide behind the tax stuff all they want. No one is complaining about the taxes they paid under Bill Clinton and Obamas will be the same. It really is a sad commentary. Oh and I love the hypocracy of that new McCain global warming commercial. Obama's character is good enough to ENDORSE McCain but not run for president? Give me a break!!!! If Obama were not black this race would have been OVER long ago. However, I remain eternally hopeful and I am inspired whenever I see the people at Obama rallies who come from ALL walks of life that want UNITY. Thats what the world I want my children to grow up in looks like. Not the very scary homogenous McCain rallies.

You go Joe!
Even Biden knows the REAL Obama and that hs is not fit to be president!

Joe has been put on a very tight leash.

Tainopower, you ignorant thug, try learning to read before you post your Faux News approved lies and propaganda. See you at he polls!

I hope all of you mesmerized college students for Obama enjoy your welfare state when you graduate. After all those years of hard work, you are forcing employers to cut jobs due to high taxes..Please face reality–where did your dreams go? You will never head A COMPANY OR GET A HIGH PAYING JOB WITH OBAMA AND PELOSI IN CHARGE.THEY WANT TO KEEP YOU DEPENDENT ON THEM. DON'T LET OBAMA RUIN OUR COUNTRY. If not for the young and vulnerable, Obama would be losing big. You are smart, but not wise.

I wouldn't worry much, McCain appears to be in seriously ill health. Biden won't have to work with him long.

Joe Biden has more credibility in his middle finger than Mccain and Palin put together. I think come November 5th, it will be McCain wanting to reach out to VP elect Biden, most probably on bended kness seeking forgiveness for all the sins he has commited during this election cycle. sarah, hopefully, will be left out in the cold, a distant memory in Alaska (where she belongs).

Did you forget Biden that McCain holds grudges? You should know him better than anyone! A liar is dangerous! One thing leads to another. McCain has run a dishonorable campaign. The things he has done to steal this election is incomprehensible.
Joe the Plumber was a plant. Now I'm wondering about the one who carved the "B" in her face and blamed it on a black man. Now just suppose she had given a description of someone and it had not been determined to be a hoax. Someone's son would be in serious trouble.

Why would you want to be friends with a guy who would obviously sell his soul for power, Joe? McCain is not the guy you once thought you knew.

McCain takes this race personal because it's more about his legacy as a POV becoming President. So i think he feels that anyone who questions that is wrong. Joe smart Sarah is not. Obama calm McCain unstable. What would you have leading you.

Joe Biden has more credibility in his middle finger than Mccain and Palin put together.

ZOGBY: MCCAIN MOVES INTO LEAD 48-47 IN ONE DAY POLLING

I just watched McCain speaking and just can not believe the lies and distortions. Obama has said all along 200K-250K no change, 1K-200K tax reduction. And the "Joe the plumber" is totally false Joe is a unliscensed plumbers helper. To have one of your platform planks hung on the thoughts on the economic thoughts of Joe is crazy.

BIDEN IS A HIPOCRITE

i guess the next ad from Sen. McCain's campaign would use Sen. Biden's comments as an endorsement for Sen. McCain as president..haha...Go out and vote, ppl...

Obama/Biden 08

Kina.

If a friendship is truly solid, it will continue no matter what happens professionally. The formula is simple....business and personal are two totally separate entities. So Joe, bottom line, you'll find out who McCain really is, a friend or foe! Should he not remain a friend, he never was in the first place!

With friends like McCain, who needs enemies. McCain has slung one muddy lie after another at Obama and Biden. It would be hard to call him a friend. In business, they say "nothing personal," but McCain has made his whole campaign personal.

Why would you want to be friends with a guy who would obviously sell his soul for power, Joe? McCain is not the guy you once thought you knew.

If you think your taxes are going to be lower under McCain.....you're the same people that wrote off our country into ruin when you voted for Bush.

I guess misery loves company, in some sick, twisted fashion?

If I hated everybody who disagrees with me, I would be friendless.
Joe will have to work with McCain as a senator regardless of who wins. We have had enough sniping and infighting. A house divided can not stand. Yes, I blame everyone who voted for Bush for this mess we're in but they will still get a Christmas card.
Time to grow up.
Obama/Biden

tainopower – you probably voted for Bush twice. nuff said. Are you better off than you were 4 years ago.

John McSame is redistributing wealth to the wealthy by giving tax breaks to CEO's and oil companies.

JUST MENTION THAT WE HAVE AN ILLEGAL RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT . AND WE GET MANY AGREEING THAT THAT IT IS OK ! WE LOVE A LIAR , WE HATE OUR FLAG , AND WE ARE GOING TO DO AWAY WITH OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM . WE LOVE CATERING TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAT DESPISE US . THATS WHY THE DNC HAS SPENT SO MANY DOLLARS TO GET THIS JOB DONE . HOLLYWOOD STYLE .

YOU KNOW TRUSTING OBAMA IS LIKE TRUSTING BILL CLINTON WITH YOUR UNDER AGE NIECE.

NEWS MEDIA'S DARLING .

DNC DIG , DIG MORE DEAD VOTERS STANDING IN LINE . GOT ONE IN A LITTLE RED WAGON , HE LOST HIS LEGS FIGHTING FOR YOU . AN DIED NOW YOU DIG HIM UP TO VOTE FOR FLIP FLOPPERS .

NO JO, NOOO BARRY HUSSIEN , WRIGHT ONCE AGAIN.

I would never be friends with McCain. He's a hater, and that is not what we're supposed to feel for other people. He's also a liar. I just don't like him at all.

Wonder what he would be today without Cindy's money? Interesting.

I voted early for Obama/Biden – the constitutional guys.

Would you turn your back on John McCain knowing that he sacrificed his own life for our country?

For two thousand and seven days (5 ½ years) John McCain said “Country First” even if this meant receiving torture beyond belief by the Vietnamese captors. For two thousand and seven days, McCain did NOT turn his back on the nurse, the bus driver, the school teacher, the immigrants, the white, the black, the hispanics, the entrepreneur, the rich, the poor, and senior citizens. On the contrary, McCain said “I will sacrifice my life for every single American Citizen in the United States of America” even if this meant being in solitary confinement, getting the most atrocious beatings, getting smashed with a rifle on the shoulder, getting jabbed in the ankle, getting jabbed in the groin, getting knocked down, getting kicked in the head, getting the ribs cracked, having a high fever and losing consciousness for long periods of time, lying on vomit, blood and waste from the inhumane beatings.

This is our ONLY opportunity as a nation to do the right thing, and say “In McCain we trust” Please show your gratitude and loyalty to our country and to everyone in the United States by voting for McCain and Palin…

“I can only hope that every man that was ever in the military will read this book and appreciate the contributions of men like John McCain III. We all owe a debt of gratitude to men like him, true Americans who sacrificed everything for their country.” (Wayland Mayo)

For all of the ignoramuses who post on here: People under $250,000 will see no increase in taxes. People under $150,000 will get a tax cut. It's really not that complicated. I guess the country has to cave in before some of you will vote for a black man. He has run the most organized and successful campaign in history, but for some of you, nothing Obama does will ever be good enough. You same people, however, think Palin is great. This is the same woman who took six years and five colleges to get a freakin' undergraduate degree and who has a pregnant teenage daughter and a future son in law who are high school drop-outs. Her other children apparently never go to school, and her special needs baby is kept up all hours of the night, but she's a great role model. If Obama had a family like that, all of you would be calling him and his daughter welfare recipients who are eating away at the taxpayer's dollars.

PA, don't let the country down. VOTE FOR CHANGE, VOTE BLUE!!!

Senator Biden is a gentleman in every sense of the word. I like, admire him, and am sure he will be one of the very best VP we've ever had. Senator Obama is very fortunate to have him.

Also, I don't believe for one minute that he has been "stifled". I'm sure it was his decision to back off because he didn't want to do or say anything to hurt Barack chances for election.

What's up wtih the headline on this one? You make it sound like Biden is doubting his friendship with McCain, when in fact, he merely said they haven't talked much and he hopes they will remain friends. I'm getting really tired of the media making the news...can't you just get back to reporting it?

Biden is a good man. He will make a great VP. He may talk a lot or make a gaffe here or there, but the guy is solid.

Go get em Joe!

Awwww isnt that sweet. I hope they can remain friends too but for now. Biden your work is not done my friend. Obama/Biden 2008

Joe Biden is again showing the steady leadership that proves he is ready to be VP. Way to go JOE!

tell dem Joe,Obama/Biden08

Thanks Joe for being yourself. Joe American. Average Joe. Joe for average Americans. Good luck on election day. Sarah Palin said last week that "God's will, will be done on election day". I hope she realizes and accepts that God's will on election day does not include her attaining office, but it does include her becoming a full time mother again!

Good luck! McCain seems the type to carry a grudge. You think he is an angry old man now, wait till after the election.

Have you noticed for a while now how McCain has frequently used the word "fight" in his stump speeches. He certainly is showing his true colors as a warmonger. This man is truly scary and devisive.

Yes, you listen to FOX. Go to Obama's site and then compare it with McCain's site. Ha. Every election, Repubs trying to scare people and argue Democrats will increase taxes and the size of Government. Nothing new.

At the end, it was the Republican WH which is costing us $700 billion+++. And, if you are so afraid of paying more taxes for education and health care – instead for wars – why aren't you upset with McCain's mortgage bail out plan? Cavuto was. McCain is asking you to pay for someone else’s house, you know. Even Obama would not go that far. Your reasoning is just too shallow.

Katiec who are you kidding? Obama has gone the lowest of the low. He did it with Hillary and now the American people. Just wait – if he gets elected he will go against every promise he has made to try to decieve the people. Wake up and do your research.

Lowering the "living large" amount down to $120,000 after early voters casted their votes.... hmmmmmmmm... a glance into what will happen if Obama is elected.

God love him, but he’s a raging maniac, and a dear, dear friend.

Hmm...you call me an idiot and then want to be friends? I'm wrong on everything for the last 30 years and you want to be friends? I'm sad, I'm desperate, my party's a joke...yeah, Joe, let's be friends.

What a joke Biden is. I guess everyone's forgotten about his plagarism and resume embellishment that cost him the Democratic nomination. It was so long ago- years, even.

You're not comfortable with Sarah Palin, but you think Biden's leader of the free world material? Our country is in serious trouble.

TAINOPOWER: "From 250, 000 to 200,000"

Obama has *always* said that 250,000 for FAMILIES, and if you read his actual program that's been on his web site for months, you will see that he is talking about 250,000 for families that file taxes under the "Married Filing Jointly" area. Those that are either single or "Married Filing Separately" come under the 200,000 amount.

So, in one sense, families get more of a ceiling and a break than single folks, but the marriage penalty is still in strong effect for people that are "Married filing Separately" since if both people get close to $200,000 they'll end up getting more of a break than families that file jointly.

I am watching the polls ever since CNN has been carrying this election and if each week there was a swing amongst both Party then i would have some doubt in my mind about the final predictions. But since the last 4-6 months Obama has been leading. If Democrats loose this election then i know the system is a mess and full of illegal practices.

Trust me, because Obama will likely win based on his dishonesty in wildly and intentionally over-promising what he can deliver, I and millions of other people will expose his dishonesty. There will be no middle ground and reaching across the aisle. We will destroy his dangerous ambition. Can't we all just get along? NOBAMA we have just begun to fight. Democrats you ain't seen nothing yet. CNN, I will turn your website offer forever on November 5th. You were dishonest in coverage as well.

Tainopower @9:21

Yes, you listen to FOX and so do I. But I do not believe 1/2 of what they say any longer. Go to Obama's site and see what is there and then compare it with McCain's site. Ha. Every election, Repubs trying to scare people and argue Democrats will increase taxes and the size of Government. Nothing new.

At the end, it was the Republican WH which is costing us $700 billion+++. And, if you are so afraid of paying more taxes for education and health care – instead for wars – why aren't you upset with McCain's mortgage bail out plan? Cavuto was. McCain is asking you to pay for someone else’s house, you know. Even Obama would not go that far. Your reasoning is just too shallow.

The way Obama and Biden have lied this whole campaign. McCain should say screw you !!!! Dems took the campaign into the cutter where they belong.

Joe the Vice President, you are actually better off, if that petty, little old man is NOT your friend.

Hey Tainopower, Sarah Palin said McCain would balance the budget in 4 years, and the McCain economic spokesman said that could not happen. What does Sarah know that John doesn't? So what is it?

We don't care – Joe's a good guy with character – I just wish they would muzzle the pit-bull with lipstick though – its hard to take all the "trash" she lets fly out that mouth. Funny though – she can't/won't talk to reporters – talk about being muzzled!!

OBAMA/BIDEN

Joe biden you are the best. you possess the attributes of a leader as Obama. Mccain will not say same of you. thank you Biden.

LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

katiec, don't be so hard on Obama.

I think Joe Biden is GREAT!! He is REAL! He will be a wonderful VP.

GET OUT AND VOTE ON TUESDAY!! It is suppose to be a beautiful DAY!!! Take a folding chair if you need to sit, or a wheelchair if you need to ride the lines!!

I know of some women in their 80's who plan a whole day to GET OUT AND VOTE!!!! FIRST TIMERS TO CAST THEIR VOTES FOR A
DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT!!!! THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THIS COUNTRY IN THIS NEW WORLD! If they can do it SO CAN YOU!!!

IT WILL LIKE THE 4th of July-TAKING AMERICA BACK!!! WEAR YOUR RED, WHITE and BLUE with an emphasis on BLUE!!!

BE RESPECTFUL OBAMA SUPPORTERS and BRING HIM HOME!!!

Second negative Obama story of the day.

Nothing about Palin's medical records.

I think anyone would agree that as an attack dog for Obama , Joe Biden said personal things about John and lied about what his policy positions were . John being the man he is will grt along with Biden, but no one would trust him as a friend .

You van see the tax plan, in writing, on the website, or would actually researchingit for yourself be too much like doing the right thing.

Tainopwer.....I've heard this too! Obama has VOTED to tax everyone who makes $42,000. His campaign rhetoric went from $250,000 to $200,000. Joe Biden says it's more like $150,000. Now he has Gov. Bill Richardson saying it's more like $120,000. All talk when what Obama has actually VOTED for was to tax everyone making $42,000.

Actions speak louder than words!

If you lose him as a friend , it's no big loss!!! McCain has turned into a nasty old man. No one to be proud of!!!!

I don't see Sen Biden as not wanting to be McCain friend. It's McRage who might have a problem with it.

John McCain has become an angry little man who believes that Obama is stealing his birthright. After an entire campaign of lying and trashing Obama, McCain has done more to divide this country than even Bush.

RECORD NOT RHETORIC
Already the figure is down to $120,000 for "spreading the wealth around". Guess the more they spew rhetoric the closer they get to touching on the truth.

What about that call at 3 AM that Hillary talked about. She said Obama is not a leader and will NOT keep us safe when tested as Joe biden said he would be tested within the first 6 months. Joe Biden said the presidency does not lend itself to "on the job training".

Why would you elect someone who would put our country at risk for another 9/11?

The DMC has investigated "Joe the plumber" more thoroughly than their own candidate!

Now we individuals are called SELFISH by Obama cause we want to use more of our own money and not hand it over blindly to a government that is FULL of wasteful spending?

And you don't consider that SOCIALISM Obama??????

l will vote obama

I love Joe Biden. Wicket Smaht man! I definitely will feel comfortable with him having to stand in if god forbid anything would happen.

His morals are light years away from McCain's.....much more of a man than McCain will ever be. Sick of his frickin' war hero story – there are TONS of war heroes!!!!!!! You don't have to be captured to become a war hero....and this race is not about 4 decades ago...it's about the next decade to come.

Have to agree with Letitgo.

United we stand, Divided we fall. We've been divided for quite a few years now. Just read the comments on any news website that allows comments. I think if some of those people thought they could get away with causing serious bodily harm to those who disagreed with them, they would do it. I know a lot of people who will not put bumper stickers or any political signage up (for either side) because they're afraid of being vandalized or worse.

This is not the America I would want my children to grow up in. People should not be afraid to voice their opinions publically in real life for fear of losing their jobs or being vandalized or worse, and yet they are.

We need to end these partisan politics and work together to fix this country.

Obama has NOT changed his tax plan – people have got to stop spreading this lie. These are just EXAMPLES, people. As far as it being socialism, we have had a graduated tax system since Teddy Roosevelt – Obama is simply letting Bush's tax cuts to the wealthy expire. NOT socialism.

A Hillary supporter strongly for Obama/Biden '08

Don't worry Joe, when your administration is in power, McCain will be glas to be your friend. He is no friend or he wouldn't have said all of those nasty things he has said and spead all of those lies about you and Obama.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08–'012

Obama's website explains his tax plan and it has not changed – $250K would not see a tax increase and under $200K would receive a tax break. And, people who don't pay taxes will not receive free money – educate yourself before you criticize. Also, look at McCain's tak plan and see where you stand.

Who ever calls Obama a socialist for his values and spreading the wealth. If you recieved a stimulus check, or Grant money for a project, A loan for a car, loans for school. If you recieved a tax return anytime in your life. Then I am going to need you to return every penny you unappreciative spoiled brats. What do you think taxes are for quit complaining.

You know some of us will need counseling after the election. Our country is still filling the pain from 2000. I wonder how many true conservatives will be honest.

Go Biden!!

We are all used to McSame's mug slinging and lying. He has lost all integrity! I used to at least respect the man even though I did not agree with his politics. Voting with Bush 90% of the time is obscene to me! But the way McSame and McBarbie are running their campaign is more that obscene. It is unAmerican!!! Beneath contempt!

I think Mccain has lost alot of friends because of the Sleazy Dishonarable way he has ran his Campaign, I dont think anyone looks at Mccain the way he use to be he has lost alot of Respect!

Joe, if you are really interested in whether or not you and John McCain are still friends, all you have to do is pick up the phone and call him, after all you both have cell phones...

I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHEN I WENT TO HILLBUZZ AND SO THE GOP INTERNAL POLLS.
MCCAIN AHEAD IN MICHIGAN NEW JERSY PA AND DOWN 1 IN CALIFORNIA
I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THE MSM ARE GOING TO TO LOOK FOOLISH

ESPECIALLY MSNBC

HEY CNN YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO CHANGE THAT ELECTORAL MAP

Friendship is valued by both men and women. I would like to have a friend like that, even though we may agree to disagree.

Obama/Biden08/12

Every time I hear Sen. McCain speaks, it makes me puke. What a dishonorable man he becomes. I regret feeling bad about him in 2000. He sold his soul to evil this year.

I don't think Biden was "muzzled." More likely, he realized that every word he said would be put under a microscope so he spoke more carefully. As for his friendship with McCain, that probably never really existed. A good working relationship is not a true friendship.

I am sure they are still friends. It's all just political now.

I wonder how McCain can return to congress and face those still in congress(the ones that have not been voted out) that he has called thieves and liars.

I don't care if they are friends, I care that the politicians can be trusted to what's right for us.
Joe the Biden is one cool dude, he can find better friends than that.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK McCAIN WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND. YOU HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT OF ABOUT 60 MILLION VOTERS IN THIS NATION. IF YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH OBAMA'S AUNT BEING HERE ILLEGALLY, HIS CONNECTIONS WITH WRIGHT, THE TERRORIST, REZKO IS NOT ENOUGH THEN WOE UNTO AMERICA WHEN YOU PEOPLE START RUNNING THE UNITED STATES.

Sure he's still your friend Sen. Biden...he calls you "my friend" all the time.

I mean, he even calls ME his friend...and I've never even met him!!

Yee Haw!!

Levi...LEVI!! Git yer white-trash behind outta that there south lawn 'an come're 'an feed this here baby!!

YEEE HAAWWW!!!

I think Biden is a decent man. I still believe that he has been trying to tell us Americans in code that there is something to be wary of with Obama. I just think he got himself into something he nows really don't want. You can bet if Obama is President he will dump on Biden!

Common sense
.
Please use your common sense people. NOBODY in office (Either Obama or McCain) would cut the defense spending. Period.
The McCain camp is desperatly grabbing any idea or lie to win this election. Please don't let the next 4 years be like the last 8. I do not trust McCain. Obama has fresh and great ideas for this country and he has the intellegence to seek answers to complicated issues.

Please give Obama a chance. Vote with your common sense and your heart. Forget about one being republican, democrat or a different race.

I'm voting for Obama. I hope you do too.

For the most part I agree with katiec, except it is Obama and Biden who have dishonored themselves.

what has obama's aunt's immigration status in the US got to do with obama. I happen to be a legal immigrant soon to be citizen and immigrants do not discuss their statuses.....period

Obama is a Chicago politician with no experience.

McCain is a war hero with vast experience.

Please stop with this American idol mentallity.

Support a man that will protect us from the world.
Support McCain

MCCAIN HAS SHOWN HIS TRUE COLORS AND HAS SOLD THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY OUT!!

ITS CAMPAIGN FIRST, CORPORATIONS FIRST AND RICH FIRST THEN COUNTRY!

GET REAL- OBAMA 08

Biden and McCain might be friends but there is a huge difference in their personalities with Biden being easy going and friendly while McCain is hostile and grumpy.

McCain is irratic and desperate whereas Biden is calm and unwavering in his appearance.

McCain will likely hold a grudge as he has the same mentality as Bush which is you are either with me or against me and if you are against me you are an enemy. There is a word to describe the latter and it fits both Bush and McCain to a Tee.

Joe Cool. What a statesman.

Obama tax plan ? From 250,000 to 200,000 Biden say 150,000 and now the New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson say 120,000? and obama is not in power yet . Wen he does don’t know how low will it go? Maybe under 42,000. Well at least the people that don’t pay taxes are going to be happy. I will do my best to keep my taxes low .I will vote for McCain.

No matter WHO wins, we ALL must get along and put this division behind us. This is SUPPOSE to be the UNITED states of America, NOT the DIVIDED states of America. People need to take a look at themselves in the mirror and ask, "HOW CAN I MAKE THIS A BETTER WORLD FOR ALL?" We ALL must work for common ground. Cut the mela-dramatics>...

I would think it would be hard to be friends with a man who
has thrown away all honor and integrity to try to win an
election.
Know there are politics but there should be a limit as to
how low and how shady the republicans will go.
Be careful, the votes still have to be counted and the
pubs will try to steal it once again.
