There can only be one winner. We have known for awhile it is not Hillary and on Tuesday we will know for sure it is not John McCain. Other than that, it's too little too late.

This is for all who have not yet voted. Please go and vote and exercise that right that is naturally yours. Don't believe in polls because the polls are like gain or loss on paper; it doesn't realize unless you get out and vote. The consequence of not voting in this close election IS a life and death decision – yes, the life and death of the BETTERMENT of this great society and country. Signed – a naturalized immigrant citizen.

When the GOP going learn you dont try something again that already failed. You saw what saying these comments got her, no where. Try something new and maybe people might listen.

I sick people saying Afr Americans only voting for Obama because he Black. More Afr Americans acutally was for Clinton thatn Obama at first. Yes, people voted for or against base on Race. American also forgets people vote for or against base on party and hometown, which to be is just as wrong as race.

All this talk about money spent on advertising. I think that this time it's about the issues. Most people are not swayed by an ad. If McCain had a billion dollars to spend in advertising I still wouldn't vote for him.

I wish they would make these robocalls illegal. I live in SC but work in NC so I get these calls at work but they are all about NC races. I even got a post card from NC Senator Dole at a SC address. Government efficiency at its best. I just hang up on the calss, even if it is from the campaign I support.

Obama is right: power does not concede defeat easily. This cynical misuse of Senator Clinton is just another indication of that.

Mark my words: If McCain wins this election, the conventional media win go frantic asking: "Why were all the polls wrong?"

(1) Duh. (2) Hello?

Anyone who understands the science of polling knows that – whoever wins – there's no way ALL the polls could be "wrong."

Ergo, IF McCain wins – which I have no doubt is a distinct possibility – the real question should be: How did Rove and the RNC steal the election this time? They did it in Florida in 2000. They did it in Ohio in 2004. Expect them to try again this year.

Obama is a big liar He denied the status of her aunt as illegal immigrant the same thing he denied when said he didn't hear his pastor Rev. Wright of his anti Americans sermons but later on admitted. He's a shame, a fake guy who pretend to be pro Americans but actually he's a big American detractor.

AGREED!

I AM A P.U.M.A

and we all know that Hillary, Bill & Chelsea will push that button for McCain when they are behind that curtain...

Why would they vote Obama after Obama tried to destroy their legacy by virtually calling them racists in the run-up to the South Caroline dem primary.

That's unforgivable. Yes, it was a hard-fought race, but for Obama to try and destroy EVERYTHING the Clinton's worked for all their lives–to try and destroy that in 2 weeks...

That's why 28% of Hillary voters are now solid McCain Voters.

I find it humorous to read the comments of the Obama supporters on this blog. You write about how mean and awful McCain is, using smear tactics. But then you call names and are down right rude and mean yourself.
I don't understand why Obama supporters are so bitter. You want your candidate to unite people, but you are downright nasty. You say it is a historic election because of race, but if a Republican says it, you call him a racist.
Look in the mirror, people.

This Didnt Help Her Campaign And It Wont Help The Mccain Campaign Either! Mccain Has Based His Campaign On The Negative When Americans Need Positive! That Will Surely Cost Him The Election! People Wanted To Hear Why Your Plans For The Country Are Better, Not What You Think Is Wrong With Your Opponents Plans! Now Your Message Wont Get Across! I Will Be Voting For Obama Because He Stayed On Message And I Know Where He Stands On The Issues! The Fear Tactics Dont Work On Me!

They can't get any true Democratic leaders to endorse McCain so they have to resort to this tactic. That's in comparison to the Republican leadership that have supported Obama like Colin Powell. McCain has to distort the truth (because Clinton DOES NOT support McCain) in order to attempt to win. Unfortunately some people will get that call and say "Wow, if Hillary supports him, so will I."

Hopefully most people have listened well enough to know otherwise.

HOPE: To cherish a desire with anticipation, to desire with expectation of obtainment, to expect with confidence. From the first time I heard Obama speak in 2003, I hoped for him to campaign for president. I hoped for that one chance to feel proud of my country again. I hoped to feel safe in America, not just from foreign attack but from attack on our liberty by a conservative right wing government. I hoped for a change, a clean slate in the overall operation of my government by those who may have started out with good intentions, but became part of the status quo.

John McCain at the beginning of this campaign was to be a war hero, however is was out of touch with the 21st century and the global issues. By the end of the campaign he was and is a hate-monger who would do anything to win. Palin was the most irresponsible decision in history.

It was very hard for me to not support Hillary, a highly qualified woman, who has served America well.

However, for me I saw a light in his eyes, the truth in his words and his no fear of the old Washington establishment. This man grew up with one foot in each world and is a tough as they come. Yet he never let the negative words change his message of hope. He is America's son, we should be very proud, our gift to the world. I have asked the universe to walk us all home, to the Whitehouse.

So stand in line as long as it takes and mark your ballot carefully so it will not be rejected and Vote OBAMA.

The 21st century needs a 21st century president OBAMA08.

A landslide victory for Sen Obama will shut the mouths of these fools, and render them powerless and irrelevant for the next eight years!

They deserve it – they've worked hard for it! DEMS FOREVER!

P.S. There will be a significant amount of Republicans and Independents who will vote as protest to the trashy campaign of McPalin!

MCCAIN'S MESSAGE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, AND HIS TACTICS GIMMICKY AND NEAR-SIGHTED. THAT MAKES A POLITICIAN.

This is the reason why you republicans will lose....because you focus on everything but whats important. the election is in two days......2 days, and you guys are still trying to talk about things that really don't have anything to do with Obama. I understand you hate him, but trying to find everything you hate about Obama, you should be focusing on everything you like about McCain. but maybe your hate for Obama is stronger that anything...if anything you like about McCain. If Obama wins and i hope he does, regardless what you say...America spoke....and they voted for everything they love about Obama and cared less for anything they didn't like in McCain.

That was during the primaries and she never said McCain would be a better president.McCain and Palin are still busy attacking Obama instead of staying with the issues that are important to the american people which is the economy.This woman is a joke she gets a phone call from a comedian and didn't even know it was a prank call and today a European newspaper says that McCain's campaign paid 10,000 to Oxford professor Peter Millican to try to show that Obama's biography had been written by William Ayers. I think this is despicable what kind of country would Palin and McCain be running if they are elected with all the hate and some americans patriotic and some are not god help us all

By: Anthony

Anthony — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 17:50:38 +0000

To add: What the McCain campaign is basically saying now is that we have to elect them by default, not because of what they'll do, or their great campaign.

A victory for McCain is a victory for ignorance, hate, bad campaigns, robocalls, fear tactics, we can't let this happen again.

And follow Hillary's lead. And Bill's. The past is the past. They want Obama to win and badly.

Wow. I seriously thought that the McCain campaign and the RNC had already hit rock bottom in both morals and material. I guess they're digging deeper?? My prediction: no matter how hard McCain "campaigns" (if that's even what you can call it anymore), and how deep he digs, there is no gold mine of voters just waiting. He's out of time. Darn right!

I supported Hillary. Hillary is now backing Obama. I am now backing Obama too. I do not understand former Hillary supporters defecting to the republican party unless there are racial issues involved. That is a shame–letting race change your fundamental ideas. I am a recently unemployed, middle income earner, and gay. The ideas of the GOP are a triple threat to me. Use your brain people. Vote for Obama. I already did in Arkansas.

@Bob... Don't know where you're drinking your Kool-aid, but if you truly believe that McBush / Palin have a chance at winning this election then please listen to the prank that two radio hosts played on Sarah Palin. She actually believes she's talking to Sarkozy even after he mentions the documentary that "Larry Flint" is making about her, "Nailing Paylin"... ludicrous!

There is lestion to be learnt: what is once said stays. Let's hope everybody who is a Democratic by heart understands the contex and is willing to vote Obama.

I respect Hillary and Bill Clinton now more than I did few months ago. She has been a good sport and supported Obama wonderfully.
