I just heard someone call into Rush Limbaugh and blame him for the loss of the election! She called him out on his appeal to voters during the primaries to vote Democrat against Hillary as a set-up, in "Operation Chaos". He , for once, was speechless and wanted to know what her source was? How about him flapping his big fat mouth all of the primary season? He made a mockery of the election process, got his listeners to vote because of his bad advice, and now is paying the price. The only card McCain has left, according to the caller, is racism, and people aren't buying into it anymore! As for PUMAS, blame Rush, not the DNC! OBAMA/BIDEN: YES WE CAN!!! LOL!!!

I've never stood in line more than ten minutes to cast my ballot in the 40 years I've lived in Canada. No candidate is allowed to campaign on E-Day. They cannot have signs up within 200 yards of any polling station on E-Day and NO VOTER is allowed into the polling station wearing ANYTHING indication who they are voting forIt seems to me that these long lines (5 to 10 hours) are to deliberately disenfranchise those voters who: 1..are only allowed an hour or two off work to vote 2. cannot afford to take a day off work to vote 3..cannot stand in lines for hours due to health reasons Doesn't appear like a level playing field to me.

Do you all ever think to vote for how this country was founded and based on CHRISTIANITY!?!?! I don't see how anyone can support anyone who would say "oh, sure, go kill helpless babies - as long as the adults who created them are OK, that's all that matters" Doesn't anyone value family anymore? Or marriage? It's really sad. I'm not saying gay people shouldn't be allowed to be together, but can't you call it something else? The bible says marriage shall be between one MAN and one WOMAN. There are so many more issues to this election than are truly presented and it scares me that people are voting without even knowing them all. Thank GOD I have faith in Him - I know he really controls it all anyways and things will turn out as he sees fit.

Why would you vote into office someone who's idea of governing is based on dismantling the very same government they strive to work for? why, people? The republican party always makes it a point to run for office to demonstrate that government doesn't work and that less government, less regulation, less oversight, less transparency, less fairness and less accountability are better for the nation. If you really think about it, this idea is ABSURD. I hope tomorrow people will finally speak loud and clear about their own idea of what government is supposed to be and how it's supposed to work (i.e. Clinton years vs. Bush years).

As a Texan turned Montanan, we don't need your brand of government or your brand of campaigning. We don't fall for your B.S., so you should shovel it somewhere else. Good luck, John boy. You probably wouldn't have had to work so hard if you had run the honorable and clean campaign that you promised us. You probably would be doing much better in the polls if your V.P. pick wasn't the scariest woman in national politics that I have ever seen.

Yes we can! Obama said that about his energy plan, it is his intention to put all coal companies out of business by bankrupting them. Coal and oil companies need to be shut down. Do it today! Everybody who works for them should hit the streets now, and start looking for another job. If the company you work for uses lots of electricity – kiss it goodbye. Obama is going to save the planet for us. Obama is going to fundamentally change this country. He is going to give us free college education, free healthcare, and pay our mortgages for us. This is a revolution. All of you loser Repugs will be handcuffed and perp-walked into the prisons and camps. We want skyrocketing electric prices! Yes we can!
