CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib said the race could be tightening.
"There are indications that McCain has started to close the gap in a few key battleground states in the final hours," said Silverleib. "The big question for the GOP is whether it's too little, too late. Obama definitely has the upper hand when you look at the overall electoral map, and his supporters appear to be far more energized and enthusiastic than their counterparts in the McCain camp. All signs still point to a solid Obama win tonight. If McCain somehow ends up on top, it will be a bigger upset than Truman's defeat of Dewey in 1948."

I'm not surprised by West Virginia. They still have a long way to go but you betcha we will get them there
CNN,
If I read correctly...
nothing's really changed...
misleading headline
I AM PRAYING THAT OBAMA WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!! IF McCAIN AND PALIN WIN, THAT WILL BE A GREAT DISASTER FOR OUT COUNTRY!!! THAT WILL MEAN THAT WE HAVE TOO MANY RACIST REDNECK VOTERS IN OUR COUNTRY!!!
Did you remember to call the millions of young voters who only use cell phones, or the other millions of Americans like myself who have now switched to digital phone service as opposed to land lines?
I think not, so many of us have zero faith in all your polling data... in this case, we read the vibes....
YEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not surprised by west virginia they truly have a long way to go but that is not the only state that matters now is it.
This campaign will be the most interesting in history!! Although the most negative campaign in history, this is be the most interesting.
God Bless America!
Just get out and vote! WHOEVER YOU FAVOUR, JUST GET OUT AND VOTE ..... preferably just once!
I'm 64, a registered republican in AZ and for the first time in my adult life I am soooo proud of my country!!! First time I voted democratic in my life!!! God Bless Obama/Biden!!!! Oh how we need a change!!!!
If we democrats cannot win THIS election. With eight years of Bush, the market crashing five weeks before the election, gas prices at 4.29 a gallon at one point, and two unpopular wars going on we will NEVER be in the White House again.
Dear Lord: Hear our prayers...please show us grace and mercy and forgive us for turning a blind eye to the sins and the downfall of this nation.
You kiddin me....I just voted for "that one". Hope "that one" is POTUS. I'm thinking landslide.......what say you?
REMEMBER,, MCCAIN WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET VOTES AS HE HAS DONE SO FAR,, LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE,,, SAME WITH PALIN,,,LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE,,,,
Let's show all the pollsters that their polls are trash. Get out and Vote. A landslide is on the horizon. In just 12 hours the USA will make history. No, not with a woman vice president.
One might think Obama was the second coming of Jesus Christ from the way his followers fawn all over him. What a tragic day it will be for America if we elect a socialist to the highest office in this great land of freedom.
McCain push!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it racist NOT to vote for the Messiah Obama? I won't vote for him because I don't want his big government, his taxes or do not agree with his abortion or gun stance. That is not racist, and alot of my friends politically agree with me. Get real. Obama is not the Messiah.. He is a Jimmy Carter in another skin color.
Let the cheating start.
Today is the day we will see how our fellow voters can digest information and cut through all the rhetoric. Children will see our example of learning and making decisions- and I hope they ask the question WHY.
One answer better be - FOR YOUR FUTURE.
Lean what socialism is. Those of us who lived through the vietnam era and the cold war REMEMBER what it was to be a socialist. Mr. Obama sirs, is not a socialist. Get your facts straight so you dont sound simplistic while blogging.... oh and also: NA NA NA NA, NA NA NA NA, HEY HEY HEY... GOOOD BYEEE. Start the bus boys. Its, back to Canyon Country for Mr. McCain. Ha ha, we're gonna beat you like you stole something!
McCain making only small gains. That's good enough for me. I don't see how he has a chance. The upset is going to be when Obama slides in. He's the one that has caused all the enthusiasm nationwide. McCain certainly didn't and Palin only lasted a month before her rating dropped. Again, McCain ran the dirtiest campagn I have ever seen. He deserves to lose, the cad.
he's not a socialist... some people are so uneducated!
mcbush, you are over.
your biggest mistake was palin around with sarah.
what were you thinking.
go obama
Come on AMERICA – Vote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Be part of Histort – let's make History!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes we can – Yes we will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA / BIDEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It comforts me to know so many out there are just as worried as I am today. I just hope tomorrow we can put aside our differences and help each other through this difficult time. Even if we don't elect Obama president today, we can still fulfill his dream of a united America. Of course, we'll still be fighting against a divisive administration, but. . . yes, we can.
Jus get out and vote
we dont need no women
vice president at all
and we sho dont need
another Bush in the White
House!!!!
--Obama Yall
It sounds like a few of the republicans commenting today are poor loosers. That's okay, they will have 8 years to get over it.
Deemocrats – please remember this, it will take a LANDSLIDE to counteract the Republican tricksters, they really will try to steal the election again, make no mistake about it, VOTE for Barack Obama for President, VOTE Democrat across the board and teach them a lesson they will never forget, do not be fooled into not voting, it is your RIGHT, do it for those who went before you and those to come after you. God bless America and the American people.

Don't get mad at us just because we are excited about our candidate. No we don't think he is Jesus Christ, but we do and you will as off 12 hours from now refer to him as President of the United States. Now I know it will be tough for you and those like minded mjhart but too bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get over yourself. I'd be willing to bet that even you will reap the benefits from Obama being President, mjhart. So join us, jump on the winning team.
Texas still has a way to go in turning blue but I am seeing more and more Obama/Biden signs. McCain/Palin signs are just about nil. Republicans are ashamed to even put out a sign. My neighborhood was filled wall to wall with Bush signs in 2000 and 2004 but now, you can't even get these people to come out of the house to talk about issues let alone put out their signs. Times, they might be a changin...
"Obama's most important achievement to date has not been getting enough press: In less than a year, Senator Obama has managed to divide our country to the degree it has not seen for over a hundred years."–Jeff Tyler
CNN, stop fishing for headline stories.
This election will be a landslide.
"When you have the mandate of the people, no ONE can stop you"
Barack Obama has the American people's mandate.
He will be a great president!
We already have a Socialist in office today, also the most corrupt and dumbest, in Bush.
Get ready for change. Get out and VOTE!!
OBAMA/BIDEN
So sorry – Typo, of course I meant DEMOCRATS, I'm so excited for America on this historic day.
For the first time in my lifetime, I believe we will have a government for the people and by the people. We will grow jobs and have more people paying taxes. We will tax the wealthy who own 7 houses and make over 4 million a year to spread the wealth they possess from the blood, sweat and hard labor of 95% of the population. Everyone will have access to medical. We will protect our environment and become more dependent upon ourselves for our energy, we will unite all Americans and we will restore the name of our country and what it stands for abroad, and we will have an intelligent, sensible president...I am an American and for the first time in my lifetime, I am proud to say it with gusto and spirit. Barack needs our help and support to make our country the greatest on this planet, now let’s get to it! Oh, and we won't have the wealthy, fat cats, running our country or telling us they understand how bad it is while they own 7 houses and are multimillionaires.
OBAMAS & BIDENS RULE!
I will be very interested to compare CNN's polls to the actual polls.
I won't be surprised if the actual polls show Obama with a greater margin of victory.
I am waiting for CNN to post on its front page the news that Sarah Palin was cleared of any wrong doing in the Troopergate investigation. You liberals trashed her and made sure that Troopergate was on the front page of every liberal website when it looked like she may have done something wrong, and now that it has been proven she did NOTHING wrong, you cannot find the story anywhere. It has become such a sad state of affairs. Liberals are working overtime to ruin this country.
To Obama is not the Messiah,
Then don't vote for him!!!!! That's your choice but get off the freakin soap box!!!!! What an idiot!!!!!
I agree with CB, this just confirms a status quo of the polls... there seems to be no big movement in any direction. Wether it's bad interpretation, a liking by the media to have a narrative that it's still close or statistic noise or some true movement will be seen this evening.
All of the world is ready for Obama (source: The Economist), to stop the economy from drowning, to put a halt to the Republican greed and agressiveness that endageres the United States and the rest of the world.
Are Americans that ignorant of political philosophy. All this criticism of Obama being a socialist is absolutely childish and shows such a lack of education on most people's part. By and by, if American's elect John McCain, the world will look at the US as a vast wasteland of simple minded people ruled by religious rhetoric than by common sense and progress. You think your economy sucks now, if McCain wins, people will get desperate on all levels and really, what world leader is going to help a republican administration in a country in so much trouble who created this global mess? THINK PEOPLE THINK
I AM PRAYING THAT McCAIN WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT!!! IF OBAMA AND BIDEN WIN, THAT WILL BE A GREAT DISASTER FOR OUT COUNTRY!!! THAT WILL MEAN THAT WE HAVE TOO MANY SEXIST VOTERS IN OUR COUNTRY!!!
EVERYONE WHO'S TIRED OF THE RICH GETTING RICHER AND ARE STILL {8 YEARS LATER} WAITING FOR THE WEALTH TO TRICKLE DOWN ON YOU, GET UP AND GRAB A COUPLE OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND MEMBERS AND GO VOTE. LIKE SEN. OBAMA STATED "AMERICA LETS GO CHANGE THE WORLD", LETS MAKE AMERICA EQUAL FOR ALL AMERICANS. "NOTHING IN LIFE IS TO BE FEAREDL. IT IS ONLY TO BE UNDERSTOOD". -MARIE CURIE-.
Since when is 9:30(cst) in the morning on Election Day "last minute"?
Obama/Biden '08
Say what you may let your stress level soar! The new name in the White House will be "President Obama and Vice President Biden"! I think they will be a Job for Palin somewhere in Montana doing wildlife calls!
@MJ Hart
I've seen the groupies at the Palin rallies too. It's partisan politics everywhere. Not just Obama. Go vote for the losers!
I am so sick of people calling Obama a "socialist." His tax plan is considerably less burdensome to the taxpayers than those of noted pinko commies Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970s. If you are so ill-informed as to not understand what socialism is, don't expect me to listen to you.
Uh, those are trivial "gains" - if you could even call it that.
Last Minute gains for McCain? I think he gained two points in Nebraska, three points in Texas, four points in Idaho, and two points in Utah. Mac is back!
I'm not watching the polls im watching the handicappers and bookies. At the moment they are giving the win to Obama in a huge way.. Handicappers really have something to loose while Pollsters make money no matter how skewed their questions or questioners are. Look at the lines outside the voting offices. I predict Georgia and Florida both for Obama.
According to the article, nothing has really changed.
I am praying Obama wins. No he is not Jesus but he is the one God will use to deliver us from this terrible economy! Just like God used Moses to lead out the children of Isreal. We need a leader! I am voting Obama! Not because he is black but because he is thatone who will lead us out of 8 years of call it what you will...
be blessed america
GOP – plse get out and vote ....
Noah, get over yourself. It was breaking news on CNN yesterday.
I am not sure why, as a panel appointed by her, finding her not guilty
is not actually breaking news. LIberals do not have to work to ruin this country, the right wind whack jobs have already done that
Then why did u even have to mention him being a different color? Typical.....
Actually most polls in Indiana close at 6 pm Eastern Time, only the far northwest county polls stay open until 7pm ET. I think to call people who vote for McCain/Palin racist rednecks is ridiculous, it demonstrates the same kind of narrow-minded judgmental attitude that causes people to be racist. Also to call Obama a socialist is possible the most un-founded accusation I have ever heard, it is simply not true.
Just a comment – I live in Dearborn County, Indiana, and our polls here close at 6 pm ET, not 7 pm ET.
No matter who will win, most important – who will lead!!!
Just because you are an arrogant, racist pig who is cowering in fear that Obama and his government will enslave you due to your level of ignornace, does not mean that he will not win.. Make no mistake, HE WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA Winning is more welfare - more food stamps - in short ....
more spending
Hope ALL Republicans get out there and VOTE
VOTE FOR CHANGE!
I disagree with the statement referring to Obama as the "next coming" and a socialist".
The U.S. tax system, Social Security and other federal programs- by definition=socialist. Voted for on a bipartisan level. Bank bailouts, McCain's promise to "buy up bad mortgages and sell them back to the people at a rate they can afford-socialist.
That argument doesn't work anymore. That's why Rush, Hannity, and co. have changed it to "communist". Give me a break.
Furthermore, I've never heard of any Obama supporter likening him to the "second coming" of JC, but I have heard plenty of his opponents refer to him as the "Messiah", a Muslim, The "annointed One", or even, "That one". It seems that the opposition has more of a preoccupation with referring to Mr. Obama to a religious savior or spiritual deity than anyone else.
A Black Man Asks Nation for Change
Gotta love the Onion
Forgot about race and focus on the issue. I would not care if Obama were poka dotted or striped. I care about what he can do for our country. I don't care what your political affiliation is. The thought of eight more years of political leadership is too much bear. Forgot about race and focus on the issues!
Hey – I'm up for Obama to win. I'm going part time in my job – letting my business go dormant for a few years and get on the dole.
I've never lived the easy – lazy life – but what the heck. A few years of watching TV and eating cheetos sounds good to me.
Send me the check......huh – what do you mean there may be no check.
Oh – no – many of the business owners who are targeted by Obama are doing the same thing? Those lazy bums!!!
McCain gained what? A point in North Carolina- wow!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
I love all these republicans who chant away about this great land of "freedom".....because freedom to those redneck republicans means freedom for white people to make money....oh, and own guns..but NOT the freedom to choose of course, and NOT the freedom to be a gay american with legal rights, and NOT the freedom to have liberal views. Do these jacked up repubs know what freedom REALLY means? Clearly not...and if by socialist you mean someone who treats ALL americans fairly, who thinks progressively, who has hope for the future, and believes in the potential of each individual through the help and support of all, the HELL YEAH...call me a socialist all you want...just as long as this right wing, neoconservative, OPPRESSIVE regime never sees the light of day in this country of FREEDOM, ever , ever again.
Sarah Palin WAS NOT CLEARED of the STATE ethics violation – read about this again. She WAS convicted of the STATE ethics violation
Wow, the liberal news media has actually put something in here that is positive about McCain, say it ain't so Joe.
Don't blame me, im voting Republican
For all the WV haters please. Just because there are people they do not share your view and choice for POTUS there is no reason to call them rednecks or anything else. A lot of smart and good people live and work in WV and gee they work in coal mines that Obama wants to put of business, so I can see why they do not support Obama. All I can say is WV knows how to vote, unlike Florida... talk about issues.
dem. pres, dem congress I guess i'd better get a third job to pay for all the give aways Obama will be doing for everyone BUT ME!!!
The McCain trolls out in force today. The rats are beginning to drown!
Noah
i have seen the headlines of the _2cnd_ probe regarding trooper gate all over the place and here on CNN. The 1st Probe did indeed find that she abused her power....
To Noah: Not only is the Palin troopergate story on the front page, but it's been there since yesterday. Don't complain about things when there's nothing to complain about.
I am a Canadian who has been with this election from the very begining. I have watched endless reports on CNN and read endless stories in all our major newsprints.
All I want to say is, that you are all part of one of the greatest history making elections. You all should be so proud no matter what you decide to vote for.
If I can say, I am a huge Obama fan from far, he will do you proud if you just give him a chance.
GO OUT AND VOTE AMERICA !
Noah – don't know what CNN you are looking at but it (Sara Palin) was all over my CNN yesterday. Amazing that after the legislative investigation found her "guilty" her hand-picked Personnel Board found her "not guilty." I don't know about you but I think that her friends will vote for her guilty or not.
I would like to correct my entry. The thought of eight more years or Republican leadership is to much to bear. Think about it. Forget about race and focus on the issues.!
Helen what's wrong with more welfare. I thought you Republicans are good hearted specially for poor people. So it is only a sham!!!!
Jack last nigth a statement from your blog was display on CNN an indivual view, and that person said you are a sick man and you should go and take a rest. I really believe you should take a break because if not, then you are going to be very sick if Mccain wins, and God forbid you catch an heart attack.
Jamaicans for Obama !! GO AND VOTE
thanks Jack
Noah, you are a fool. Palin was cleared by a group of her own hand picked people. Big deal! She is still a crook.
CNN is not posting this because it means nothing. If the people she gave jobs to found her guilty that would be news!
Obama 08/12
Yes, we did
I heard the story of the Troopergate investigation ON CNN. It's just a contradiction to an earlier report. Who's to say which one is correct? There happens to be a bigger story going on today, if you hadn't noticed.
Wake Up America! Vote to change the system, let the worm turn, and don't believe the lies from either campaign! Obama is definately the lesser of two evils, but let's not forget about the other candidates.
Agreed, that headline was misleading, and not worthy of the best political team in the history of the universe or the mind of god or whatever they call themselves.
Today is not a day for hype, it is a historic day that deserves –you know –some respect.
If I wanted BS, I'd read foxnews.com.
Common sense people stop talking about race we will go no were with rep right know and every one who has been alive the past 8 year's should be able to see that and stop saying that there are to many redneck racist because then you are just as racist come on were is your education be real go obama.
More Spending? Are you serious? We just had 8 years of Mr. Bush and are in the largest debt and biggest spending administration in US History.
IN US HISTORY! 10 Billion a week an in Iraq...yet you're worried about a candidate spending and urgins republicans to vote????
I love the uneducated people in this country....they help us keep our reputation as a bunch of idiots.
McCain-Palin, go for it. We don't want a socialist who is already taking about having a civiian army like in Cuba and Venezuela.
McCain-Palin 2008
wow im so sick of hearing how the libral dems will spend spend spend.....what the heck have we done the last 8 years under the republicans??
Let's discuss taxes and the economy, and reality. If we don't think that we are not going to be given more of a tax burden- no matter who we are- due to the economy in the state that we are in now, then we are all folling ourselves. We have G.W. to thank for that.
As far as the need for "welfare", food stamps and "handouts" for those lazy Americans who don't work- well, thank you again, Mr. Bush. The stigma attached to this must stop-many hard working people have lost their jobs and their homes because of these failed economic policies, and need not be referred to as lazy or undeserving of help.
THINK ! VOTE! UNITE!
Big Surprise Number One: McCain is closing in the polls!!!
Big Surprise Number Two: Voting machine issues in batleground states and democratic areas.
I'll go out on a limb here –
Big Surprise Number Three: GOP tries to steal another election by manufacturing voter irregularities and manipulating vote counts.
Amen mjhart, amen. Not to mention the fact that he couldn't have less American pride. Say goodbye to the greatest country in modern history, and hello to the United Socialist Republic of America. Stagflation and unemployment, here we come!
McCain Supporters... If Obama supporters can stand in line, so can you. Take a stool and wait as long as you need.
Palin is guilty..they only cleared her because they know she will lose this election,and will need her old job back. You right winged elitists will be counting your blessings when you see how wonderful Obama will be as president! You may actually have $$ in your pockets, and better health care, and job security..wow..to think we have to pray for the basics in life.
GO OBAMA/BIDEN
Karen from Phoenix –
You've got a serious problem – if now in 64 years you are proud of America - I think you are just waitng on Hand-outs and Food Stamps from OBAMA's Government – but wait, when he gets in – we will all see if he lives up to ALL HIS RHETORIC
God Bless America now and Always
Noah,
Liberals ruining this country? It's kinda funny, I felt like the Bush and the conservatives did a pretty good job doing that in the last 8 years. 2 wars with no end in site, housing crisis, economy in shambles.
Pipe down. You guys had your chance and you blew it big. It's time to try something new.
When people to say if Barack wins it will be more welfare is totally ridiculous and insane. They are the people who are not following politics but listening to sound bites from other people. People regardless of who you vote know all the facts. Please use your head for something besides a hat rack.
It is a lot of haters on these blogs today, but enough is enough.
Hey, bag the "socialist" garbage already. Alaska is the nearest to being socialist of any state in the union. Everyone in Alaska gets a government check. That's welfare, that's socialism, and in one of the most Republican states in the country, the state Sarah Palin governs! Why aren't you complaining about that?
You people screaming "socialist" are just looking for some inflammatory word to use, since they won't print the words you'd prefer. You don't know Karl Marx from Karl Rove!
That's fine but this headline doesn't fit the narrative. Please fix that to favor Obama in some way, and be ready to call this thing by noon for Obama.
Make the change, your kids depend on it.
Make this country whole again.
Vote Obama & Biden. It is a new start.
Amazing how good you will feel when you vote today!
VOTE.
We will overcome GOP voter suppression by Democratic voter enthusiasm.
VOTE.
Obama – today!
Just voted for Obama today....It felt really good for a first time voter like me.....Go OBAMA!.
Also, if you're still undecided, just think about Sarah Palin and the thought of her running this country if anything happens to McCain--vote smart.
I'm not too crazy about either of them.
I'm moving to Canada!
In God We Trust . . . God will get the Victory and all will testify to his Glory!
So long sad times
So long bad times
We are rid of you at last
Howdy gay times
Cloudy gray times
You are now a thing of the past
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one
Who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about it now
Happy days are here again
Your cares and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
From now on ...
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
So, Let's sing a song of cheer again
Happy times
Happy nights
Happy days
Are here again!
So I've realized that most of the people who are voting for McCain in this poll are significantly more uneducated than those who vote for Obama.
Not very surprising..
Does anyone know what McCain stands for anymore? He has changed positions to fit the polls so many times. How did Republicans and Conseratives get stuck with McCain at the head of the ticket anyway? McCain was never a true Republican. He was always at war with the Republicans and always mis-trusted by Conservatives. Palin is just a cue card side kick attacker without any real skills or leadership. How did we end up in this position? I wish Mitt Romney was in this race. We might just have won! Romney/Pawlenty 2012.
Democrats for MCCAIN....
Sarah Palin has been cleared by her own personnel staff!! She is not cleared at all....the real investigation by the elected bi-partisan officials found her guilty!! She is and always will be on the right-wing fringe and most moderate American's will never accept her.
I am voting later today alongside my 86 year old mother and 22 year old daughter and I'd like to add that my mother is a registered Republican who hasn't voted Democrat since JFK. However, today, she will make history in our family by breaking out of her rut of voting for the GOP just because she was a Republican and voting to get rid of the stranglehold the Republican party has had on us the past 8 years.
I feel an all-nighter coming on....
Obama/Biden Forever
All you need to know is ;
IT"S OVER & BARRACK OBAMA"S THE NEXT US PRESIDENT!
So get used to it & try again in 4 years...Send the Maverick to the ranch for grazing!
It's time to change America. & the policies of George Bush's.
Misleading headline. A 1-pt. gain in IN and a 2-pt. gain in WV hardly makes up meaningful last-minute gains. Besides, those gains are offset by Obama's tremendous performance in nat'l polls taken since his infomercial Wednesday. The real stories are weather, lineups, and GOP attempts to disenfranchise voters.
More sand-bagging for Mccain! Nice Try!
I COULDNT EVEN SLEEP LAST NITE. I WAS TOO EXCITED. ITS WAS LIKE BEING A CHILD AGAIN AND WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS MORNING. I GOT IN LINE AT 530AM ARIZONA TIME. WAITED FOR THE POLL TO OPEN AT 6AM. BY 6:52AM.
BY VOTE WAS CAST FOR: BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
The Next president of the United States of American!
HELL YEA.
My God, Helen, what welfare to speak of have you got in the US?
You should worry much more about all those banks squandering your money.
Why is it, I wonder, that Republicans, who are always so much holier than thou, are so terribly worried that some coins could be used for people who have less than they have.
This is ugly and it is hypocrisy, it´s the pharisees all over again.
Some Christians, indeed...!
I saw someone here say GOD Bless Obama/Biden. Lets see..baby slaughter and gay marriage? I think abetter prayer would be to open their eyes.
Just get out and vote...no matter who it is, just do it.
As a former Republican, Navy Officer, and now owner of a small firm doing consulting work for the Federal Government, I don't know how any ignoramous could vote for such a bombastic person as McCain.
He was heaviliy involved in fraud and the Keating Five Savings and Loan Scandal, has absolutely no ethics at all (cheating and fornification), and his ONLY Bible is John McCain. Thank God in American we really have a choice this time! Otherwise we could end up elelcting a Putin to office.
I personally look at black guys with suspicion. If police is looking for the criminal, most of the time description starts with "Black guy in his twenties...". They grow in neighborhoods with bad criminal situation, less of them plan to go to university, build a career, and become respectable citizen. Many of them think the gun is the power.
And if the guy came out of such environment, became senator, then a presidential nominee, and is currently leading in polls – I think he is worthing something. Being a president is not an honor for your heroical past but a hard job for the nation's future, that's why people must think ahead and weigh all pros and cons in a global scale and think how one or another candidate can make future for them and their children brighter and restore status of United States in the world.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
Vote, vote, vote!
Go Obama '08
The day of reckoning is finally here!
VOTE OBAMA!!!
Make it a landslide.
Throw the bums out of office.
Time to retire McPalin.
VOTE FOR PEE WEE!!!
Republicans are playing all the dirty tricks to steal the election. Let us show them how we can make this election historical. We the Young American’s are going to be the deciding factor.
. Let us bring back prosperity back to our country. Make sure everybody is getting out and voting for Obama.. God bless America..
Obama/Biden
Although Palin was "cleared" in this investigation, she was found of ethical wrongdoing in another. Neither one carry more weight than the other.
I took my 6 year old son to the polls with me this morning so he could see the voting experience first hand. I let him help me push the button to make my (our) vote final! I had to fight back tears when I put his "I Voted" sticker on his shirt. I don't think he fully understands the process at 6, but I'm hoping I left a life long impression on him…. Voting is important and a Priveledge!
We Baracked the Vote!
ROVE IS JUST TRYING TO KEEP YOU FROM GOING TO VOTE. BY TELLING YOU IT WILL BE AN OBAMA LANDSLIDE HE THINKS YOU WON'T GO TO THE POLLS. DON'T TRUST THIS CREEP. GET OUT THERE. SHOW AMERICA IT IS READY FOR CHANGE.
VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE
Obama is the greatest! I dont see why you foolsl that are voting for McCains purpose and reasonings are. Do you hear that man talk? Do you hear this ridiculous com backs that aren't even worthy of listening to? And that idiot he picked as a VP talking about forgien policy and how she could see Russia from Alaska! COME ON! OBAMA AND BIDEN have my vote 2008! And i hope he wins, because he's what can help our country instead of that old, saggy thing McCain!
Helen, you are an idiot!!
Obama 08/12
Noah, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the conservatives do the exact same thing to Bill Clinton with the whole "Whitewater" scandal.
In the end, there was nothing there, and all that came from it was Monica Lewinski.
I'm voting for obama because he is as socialist.
So your telling me that someone with no military background is suitable to run our country. The only fix is someone who can handle crysis, not say we need change. Change will happen but Obama is not the one who can provide it. Be sure that if Obama wins then tommorrow morning will be the longest day of our lives for the next 4 years.
if you didn't vote white, you didn't vote right!!
MCCAIN-PALIN 08'
down with the communist muslim
Oh, and make no mistake... John McCain was planning to do his own share of spending. Right or wrong, in order to make advances in energy independence or give tax cuts to all peoples, esp those making billions of dollars... that money needs to come from somewhere.
Helen: More spending? Oh wait, the Republicans already did that.
Noah: CNN posting about Palin? Oh wait, they already did that, too.
If you exclude West Virginia, which was never really a "battleground state" then there is no net increase or decrease here, and only Indiana's change even noteworthy.
However, CNN, I like your style. People in the comment sections tend to claim you are very "Pro McCain," when it is clearly the opposite. I applaud your Rovian counter-tactic to help bush Obama supporters to the polls to give him that extra nudge. Well done.
This is what I think the funniest part is: that the Republican party still sells itself as a party of low spending. Spending has been out of control the last 8 years and we had a Republican in the White house and Republican controlled Congress for 6 of the 8. The spending argument might make sens if they practiced some responsibility, but it is all talk.
I voted OBAMA/BIDEN and because of the terrible antics of the GOP during the campaign I voted straight Democrat Ticket.....People Please clean up – stick to the facts – and no more Plumbers! Thank you very much! I sit with fingers crossed – GO OBAMA!!! WIN THIS ONE FOR TOOT!!
History is about to be made. God let your will be done, let the American people have the ability and foresight to choose a president who can revive and stabilise the economy, unite fellow Americans and shape the face of America in the world. Long live America, Long live the World at large!!
There hasn't been a Democrat out there who hasn't been called a Socialist at some point. And I am VERY educated. It's all talk, nonetheless. Not really pulling for either candidat, though.. I don't necessairily need to vote because my state is going to swing one way and one way only! That's because the Electoral College will only go that way! It is a shame that swing/undewcided states like Ohio, PA, and FL decide who our President should be. The Constitution should be ratified/amended to make it popular vote that elects a President.
Yes, another Democratic candidate similar to Bill Clinton; who brought more welfare, more food stamps and BUDGET SURPLUSES.
Those "Tax and Spend" liberals will be the end of us...
Score one for Republican fear mongering.
Fire -It -Up Florida Ready-To-Go!!!
Fire -It -Up Florida Ready-To-Go!!!
Fire -It -Up Florida Ready-To-Go!!!
Fire -It -Up Florida Ready-To-Go!!!
Don't Booo, Just Vote!!!
Obama today!
To: Obama is not the Messiah
Your comments are so typical of an elitist, right-wing, holier-than-thou idiot who is blinded by stereotypical Republican attacks on any Democrat.
If you were truly objective, you would see that it has been Bush and the Republicans who initiated socialist bailouts, increased spending and generated record deficits. The world knows deregulation has been one of the main drivers of the economic crisis.
What's up with W.Virgina?? I guess they are doing great economically unlike the rest of the country.
GOP has not standing on fiscal responsibility – Just look at the deficits they created.
GOP is irresponsible – War & Tax Cuts don’t go together (at least we know republicans can be bribed for little money).
GOP mismanaged the economy – see data on recession and Wall Street
GOP nationalized insurance companies, Wall Street and next auto industry. They call others socialists but fact is they are the socialists and almost communist.
GOP launched an unnecessary war and as a result aborted the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, women and children. And they have the audacity to talk of abortion. Republicans will abort anyone that comes in their way.
GOP and Republicans are bigots, case in point, calling Obama a Muslim.
GOP expanded govt in the last 8 years more than any administration. Sorry no leg to stand on here to.
McCain + Plain IQ does not equal Barak’s IQ. I could go on but I rest my case.
How can anyone in their right non biased bigoted minds vote for the GOP?
Republicans had 8 years. What do we have...failure.
No Way, No How, No McCain, No Palin. This is the END of the Republican ERA.
Leave it to the intelligent Democrats and we will show how a country should be lead with unity and not divison.
This is Tuesday Nov 4th, election day. John McCain, Barack Obama and Joseph Biden have all provided details about their medical history but NO full medical records of Sarah Palin!
mjhart.... do you even know what a socialist is?
I dont understand how a country can vote for someone that cannot even be honest as to who he is. If you dont like having rights and you prefer the government telling you what to do at any given time than vote obama. If you enjoy getting up in the morning and having the right to do as you please than vote McCain. Either way it is just a name, the president does not make all the decisions that run this country, there are alot of others that can can override what the president does. This economy is the way it is because we have to many people living above their means, so it is about time they fall on their faces. Live within your means and pay for what you want instead of charging everything we wouldnt be in the shape were in. So just get out and vote.
It is very important that people get out and vote, don't get lulled into a false sense that Obama is winning and therefore they can stay home.
We need a smart, intelligent president in the oval office. We have had eight years in office now without such a president, and look where that has taken us. If you want prosperity, like we had in the 90s, and a president who is smart enough not just to make the right decisions, but who is smart enough to surround himself with other intelligent people on all sides of the political fence, then there is only one qualified person, and that person is Obama.
But we all need to VOTE to make that change possible. And this REPUBLICAN proudly cast my vote for the right man to lead us into the future, into a better tomorrow....
Go Obama!
lol, i'm not even off work yet, and i'm voting mccain, bc his supporters work for a living.
YAWN to the fools on here...you can vote for WHOMEVER you want for whatever reason you want to....whoever loses the election will STILL HAVE MORE MONEY and MORE BENEFITS than you...
Grow up....
Any Christian who votes for Obama will have to answer for it someday...to God. Would not want to be in your shoes but oh yeh you are a Democrat and Democrats don't believe God should tell them what to do.
They are smarter than God.
I forgot.
not really gotcha Ga is in the bank for McCain and Palin. Oh yea she was cleared of troopergate. Guess Demosocialist could not find anything on her. Look out 2012
Sarah Palin was cleared of any wrong-doing by members of Alaska's Personnel Board that SHE APPOINTED. As we all know, she tends to choose to surround herself with many less-than-qualified individuals (such as her high school basketball coach), so it shouldn't come as any shock that she was cleared by this investigation. This still doesn't excuse the fact that she lied to the American public about the outcome of the initial legislative investigation, stating that she had been cleared of "all ethical and legal misconduct" when the report found that the exact opposite of her statement had occured. By the way, the story is listed in CNN's top stories in the political section, so maybe you should have checked before you pointed fingers. I can't believe how many people stick up for this incompetent, unintelligent, unqualified VP pick that has failed to even define the vice presidency correctly. Ignorance must be contagious.
To Noah, Palin was cleared of wrong-doing by a panel of people on her payroll. Of course they will clear her. I don't put any stock in that second investigation and neither will a lot of other people. I read this little tidbit in the Anchorage Daily News about a month ago.
It will be a big surprise for Obama cause he be lossing this election. Thank you Americans, thank you for the enlightening you've got in the last minustes
first time voter and im going McCain I work and wana keep my money that make not let the government take it and redistribute it to the people that dont get off their butts and work for thier wn money McCain/Palin all the way!!
Big shocker – liberal press covers up the truth. Polls are actually tighter than what's reported. Why is that surprising to any of you Democraps that the REPUBLICANS actually may win this thing????????????????
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is it that if someone isn't voting for Obama, they are automatically branded an "arrogant, racist pig"?
So your telling me that someone with no military background Obama is suitable to run our country. The only fix is someone who can handle crysis, not say we need change. Change will happen but Obama is not the one who can provide it. Be sure of this is that if Obama wins then tommorrow morning will be the longest day of our lives for the next 4 years.
Just voted for Obama, there is no place for bankrupt ideas, fundamentalism, lies, negativity and incompetence in the american politics, we had enough for the last eight years.
In France, after many years of "socialism", we pay as taxes 45 percent of our incomes in average.
A lot of people live very correctly here due to the help of the govt without working. Of course, they live with the taxes paid by the workers!
In some cases, it's even better to refuse a job, and to continue to live with the help of the govt. Laziness is congratulated.
American workers, u will be soon in the same situation as us!
Good luck!
May be you can take another poll tommorow after obama wins and you will see McCain ahead.
On behalf of all Canadians, I wish our American cousins all the best on this historic day.
On behalf of something like 75% of Canadians, I say also:
GOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McCain all the way!!! Thank you Sarah!!!!
Just like I tell my kids. You can make your own choices but you also have to pay the consequenses of them. Unfortunately all of your bad choices will destroy this country. Lets talk again in 4 years when we have no jobs because all of the small businesses are gone, no energy because the coal industry in bankrupt, and we have a deficit that will bankrupt our kids for generations. Blind faith in someone without any positive record of doing anything is crazy.
To all of you people who rant about "Obama's big govt. and taxes. Do you even realize how huge and centralized the govt got under Bush? Have you read Obama's tax plan? I guess if you are still a hardline conservative ater 8 years of the Bush regime there is just no hope for you.
Hey Joel, just paid $2.09 gallon for gas, so Im suppose to be mad and go vote for Senator Obama and blindly for the democratic party. I think not. I'm a Florida Democrat, and I proudly vote for Senator McCain today. Checks and balances sounds better to me. I suppose if I wanted to be more like Senator Obama, I should of just voted present.
November 4th, 2008 10:32 am ET
I am waiting for CNN to post on its front page the news that Sarah Palin was cleared of any wrong doing in the Troopergate investigation. You liberals trashed her and made sure that Troopergate was on the front page of every liberal website when it looked like she may have done something wrong, and now that it has been proven she did NOTHING wrong, you cannot find the story anywhere. It has become such a sad state of affairs. Liberals are working overtime to ruin this country.
Noah, did you forget that it was YOU republicans that bankrupted our country, got us into a war we didnt need. Man, you are so blind and ignorant. Fortunately, most Americans are not as stupid as you.
V V OOOOO TTTTTTTT EEEEE
V V O O T E
V V O O T EEEEE
V V O O T E
V V OOOOO T EEEEE
Just finished voting for McCain/Palin. I feel good!!!
proud to be a Red neck go McCain
Obama will be among the greatest Presidents of U.S.A. He is on par with Abraham Lincoln. Bush the worst ever and his inner circle of Christian fundamentalists no different from religious fundamentalists of other nations. This is a great nation – get this country back to his glory through honesty and economic strength for all people. McCain/Palin and all those 527s oozing hate – you disgust me.
– Independent conservative for Obama.
Helen's ideas are totally wrong. Barack will be there for all Americans. Maybe you noticed that the crowds for McCain are all blonds, wear tons of jewelry and makeup, and designer clothes? Barack represents all that is good in middle America. My daughter has a Master degree in education and can't find a job. She is now on welfare and we are glad that it is there for her and her children. When Barack gets elected, he promises more teacher positions and we are hoping for that. She was laid off in budget cuts. Go Barack!!
Remember, a snake is a snake I don't care what color it is? The key is will both candidates practice what they have preached for the last 2 years. Who ever wins the other will still be in the Senate.
Liberals don't need to bash Palin. Every time she opens her mouth, she bashes herself. Duh! What an idiot.
Obama for the win!
If not, we're headed for a lot more trouble in this world.
Im so happy- I really want McCain in as president + a veto proof congress with Democrats
Maybe we could finally get something done!
VotE for THAT ONE!!!!! he's winning THAT ONe!!
I voted for Bush 2 times. I voted for Obama today!
Noah, You did not read the report from the Independent counsel. what is it with you people, you don't like to read, Palin still has not read the Constitution, Nor has she been vetted on Meet the Press!
I am another registered Republican that has voted for Obama/Biden. I am also a Vietnam veteran. Its time to clean up the mess that the present administration has made of this great nation. Vote Obama/Biden
RE: OBAMA.. more welfare more food stamps ...
There isn't anything wrong with helping out people who are not as well off as you are. Your hope is that ALL Republicans get out there and VOTE – I'm a Republican, I voted, and I voted for OBAMA!!!!
Obama is not the Messiah November 4th, 2008 10:24 am ET
Why is it racist NOT to vote for the Messiah Obama? I won't vote for him because I don't want his big government, his taxes or do not agree with his abortion or gun stance. That is not racist, and alot of my friends politically agree with me. Get real. Obama is not the Messiah.. He is a Jimmy Carter in another skin color.
Do you even know what his tax stance is? Unless you are making over $250,000 you will benefit from his tax plans. Do you know what his gun stance is? He supports the second amendment. Do you know what his stance on abortion is? Or have you been listening to the hysterical ads about "partial birth abortion" which are not true? What did the Republicans do about abortion when they had complete control of the government for 6 of the last 8 years?If you are basing your decision on stances that are not true, it does not make you a racist necessarily, but it does make you stupid
I voted for Obama not because of the color of his skin, but because of the content of his character!
Jeff,
The fact that you can't spell "Learn" just tells us how uneducated you really are on who Obama really is.
A Bigger government is not the answer and its not the direction our country needs to be heading.
I'ts always so suprising to see average Americans throw their support behind McCain even thought they would actually see more tax cuts under Obama's plan. People have been so misled. I guess if you give them a rope long enough.......
i hope that Barack Obama will be the next president of the USA
no more republicans, or better say repuignorants!! the uneducated americans are so dump
I, too, am puzzled by the headline – I didn't see any examples where McCain has made any ground in the polls, except for a 1-point gain in Indiana where McCain was already ahead, and Ohio where Obama's lead went from 4 to 3 points – what gives??
THE WORLD WANTS OBAMA
Mike
You are dead on. Mr Clinton left a balanced budget. The dept now is???? The managed to grow the size of the federal governement how much? The truth is tough to take for red.
Mccain messed up with negative campaign. Mainly been hearing people give their negative reasons 4 votin mccain (obama a terrorist/ socialist/ muslim/ can't be trusted...etc) where as obama supporters not being negative towards opponent, but rather positive bout their canidate.
Hence tomorrows headlines:
Obama President-elect
Elizabeth. I am not a redneck racist, and I resent the implication that I am.
I do not like, or want, big government.
I do not like, or want, "universal health care" – which doesn't work in Canada or the UK very well at all.
I do not want business taxes to go up. That will raise prices for everybody.
Please keep in mind that people who vote FOR Obama solely because he is "black" – he isn't; he's biracial, as if that mattered to me one bit! – are every bit as racist by your standards as those who don't vote for him.
I didn't not vote for Obama because I don't like black people; I'm a photographer, and the only reason I care in the first place about skin color is to know where to put my lights to get a good exposure. I didn't vote for Obama because I don't like his POLITICS.
Get over the racist crap.
Obama is not the Messiah wrote
"Why is it racist NOT to vote for the Messiah Obama? I won't vote for him because I don't want his big government, his taxes or do not agree with his abortion or gun stance. That is not racist, and alot of my friends politically agree with me. Get real. Obama is not the Messiah.. He is a Jimmy Carter in another skin color."
The last sentence says it all you phoney.
Lord, please hear our prayers and heal our land. Forgive this land for killing the innocent children, supporting those who will not work, for not standing up for what is just and true. In your mercy, lead us.
When a nation looks to it's government to save them, that is the beginning of its downfall. Only one Person can save you, and it's not the Dem. Senator from Illinois
"OBAMA Winning is more welfare — more food stamps — in short ….
more spending"
It's probably too late, but you might want to look at which party was in power the last time the budget was balanced, and which party controlled both the White House and Congress during the creation of the largest deficits in U.S. history.
Obama campaign has truly brain washed the American people. It appears that Obama will win this race and everyone that voted for him will make excuses win he screws up in office. Don't gripe when your taxes are raised, the National debt rises, and the economy is stagnant. Because he flip flops and never can make a decision on anything. Look at his Senate votes.
obama has to win for a change
Repubs, dont say 'Country First' when all youve done the last 8 years is put your pockets first.
If Obama loose this election because of the racist white democrats....
all colour skinned people shoud boycot the democratic party and give momentum to a third party in this country.
if the U S cant see how this country is struggling because of the previous administration and they vote for insane mcain then they deserve to struggle another 4 years. GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Rove saying that Obama will win by a landslide is self-serving in two ways: 1) He hopes that by saying it fewer people will bother turning out to vote for Obama (since "Rove the expert" says he's going to win by a landslide anyway)...and 2) Since Obama WILL indeed win by landslide (if everyone turns out to vote) Rove hopes to gain some sort of brownie points later for having said so earlier. We should ensure he LOSES on both counts. Get out and vote and after (and forever) remember who Rove is....(one of the key guys who helped Bush steal the first Bush election)....So he is also partially responsible for the trillion dollars spent in Iraq and all of our brave American war-dead. Hold him accountable and put him behind bars if at all possible.
Even if Palin is exonerated by her own bias and bull committee she PUT TOGETHER, she still violated her power it is impossible to think as someone who has a comment on this blog saying you should do as they say and put that blog on CNN. Listen this race is not about Palin got it.
It doesn't really matter who wins as long as the Democrats don't pull a super majority to rubber stamp their socialist agenda. I would still like to see McCain pull it out so I would still have some faith that the general population has not completely lost their minds.
Obama's principles didn't work in the former Soviet Union, they didn't work in Cuba and they definitely won't work for America. If Obama wins, be prepared to fight to keep the Constitution and the principles of America intact.
Helen November 4th, 2008 10:37 am ET
OBAMA Winning is more welfare — more food stamps — in short ….
more spending
Hope ALL Republicans get out there and VOTE.
It is obvious dear Helen that you are an ignorant racist. Get a life woman.
Polls in Florida close @ 7–not 8
I for one have not been taken by Obama's charm....but, of course he has the young vote...what college kid isn't going to get "excited" about a $4000.00 check....last I checked that was a bribe, but if that is how Obama needs to win this race....by, bribing American college kids, bu lying to blue collar workers....by making promises he can not cash in on....we'll see "IF" he wins....how much things will "change"....Change isn't always a good thing...I am in need of IMPROVEMNET! I hope that John McCain can retain the bible belt and maybe take a small lead in some surprise states....MCCAIN/PALIN 08!!!!!!!!!
Polls over sample Dems. And this year they are playing with "new models" to "account" for first time voters, which pollsters in Florida say have been voting at a lower % than in '04.
New polling methods to account for Obama's worshippers who aren't even voting? Whatev. Sounds like 2004 all over again to me.
As Joe Biden would say, two words: President John McCain
GO VOTE PEOPLE. VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!!!! LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. VOTE, VOTE,VOTE, OBAMA,OBAMA,OBAMA!!!!!!!!!
To Obama is not the Messiah.....I agree 1000% .....anyone who disagrees with Dems is a racist..I'm gonna deck the next person I hear say that. Just another example of skewed, biased media in this country which has replaced free speech.
Democracy is dead.....get out the hammer & sickle and se it nexct to the Stars on tha flag.
Please look up the definition of Socialism people.
"OBAMA Winning is more welfare — more food stamps — in short ….
more spending
Hope ALL Republicans get out there and VOTE"
Excuse me but do you think wars are fought for free? Current administration has bankrupted the future or hadn't you noticed? Let's review: they went after ONE GUY named Bin Laden. To get that ONE GUY they started TWO WARS (without formal declarations, I think) .. the second of which was under the pretense of WMD's which were NEVER FOUND. Can you just imagine for a minute if all that extra war money went into some of your crumbling infrastructures like health care and education?
Oh, and about abortion (you didn't bring it up but others have) – how can a country call itself the "land of the free" when you try to deny a woman the "right" to do what she wants with her own body? Such hypocrisy..
I can't wait to get out of work so I can go vote for Obama alongside my husband and two first time voting sons! We are making history!!
It is really frightening and discouraging to me how many people bought into McCain's negative ads and complete fabrication of the truth. I will be glad when I do not receive any more ridiculous emails on how Obama is a socialist, foreign-born, inexperienced radical. He is an inspiration – finally! After the 8 year Bush regime, I'm ready for some inspiration. People, get the facts before you write something on the internet!! Go OBAMA!! It is time for fresh air.
Tonight USA will become CCCP.
I agree that popular vote should decide President–not electoral college.
I just watched an interview with New York's "naked cowboy"...Now I know why the song, "Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys" was written...
Voted this morning for Obama/Biden!! God Bless America!!
You're right 'NOT THE MESSAGE', not voting for Obama does not make you a racist. I agree 100%. But as long as your reasons have more depth then not wanting 'that one' in the White House. (Man, I need to look up the origins of that name)
Me, I'm going the Obama route because I think FAR TOO MUCH is being made of the tax issue. Have we all gone crazy? They ALL TAX US! This time, its just going to be slightly heavier on those who could afford it. Guys, if what we are doing doesn't work, its time to do something else.
No more plumbers you say. If Senator Obama wins, we will need them, cause they poop will get deep in D.C.
To Noah
The headline you were looking for about Palin being cleared appeared yesterday. Get with the progam. You repugnentcans constantly whine out of one side of your mouth, while you lie and cheat out of the other side. Your days and ways in Washington are numbered.
As a Canadian I am happy to see a Black Man as president.I hope that real emancipition can begin , not only in America .but around the world.
Hey Noah? Don't act like Republicans always take the moral high-ground. Let's not forget that your party impeached a sitting president for having an extramarital affair and even called for him to be brought up on charges of treason. Your party's party is over. Deal with it.
And by the way, what would be wrong with socialsm?
If somebody relly know what that word stands for...
What would be wrong with Europe? Are they really do something wrong? Have some money, traveling where they want, when they want, having four five weeks of vacation per year (not per entire life ciclus), sound not really bad to me.
What would be wrong with being able to speak some foreign languages and being able to correctly pronaunce names of some countries and cities?
Are we going to move toward the future, or we are going to stay where nobody wants to be.....
MCCAIN WIN ???? IN HIS DREAMS !!!!!!!!!
I voted for Obama today and it felt great!
Obama all the way!
YES WE CAN!
Obama is nothing but a liar...who is he?...what has he done?....no way can this man be trusted...he can't come clean on his past....the man is cold and no way does he love America the man loves himself first and he loves the spotlight – god help America if Obama is elected president.
So happy the end of the campaign has nearly arrived. I never watched McCain or Palin very much, but I saw enough about them to realize I won't hear their talking distortions about Ayers, Wright, Obama's inability to lead and their overall trashing of their opponents.
Also, your report that McCain is closing the gap in the polling is making me wonder about CNN's reporting/
"I am waiting for CNN to post on its front page the news that Sarah Palin was cleared of any wrong doing in the Troopergate investigation. You liberals trashed her and made sure that Troopergate was on the front page of every liberal website when it looked like she may have done something wrong, and now that it has been proven she did NOTHING wrong, you cannot find the story anywhere. It has become such a sad state of affairs. Liberals are working overtime to ruin this country."
Go Obama we need a change we will make history today.
Obama fans continue to be rapid, mean spirited people. Unbelievable! Let's hope the unaccomplished, inexperienced Obama does not win. I'll keep my own money and the lazy bums who want a hand out can go work!
All Obama had to do to gain my vote was to author one single bill that became law. He didn't do it. He didn't do anything as a Senator but promote himself. Shameless.
The headline is misleading–they're just trying to create last minute drama.
It amazes me that some of our citizens are so ignorant (and proud of it). Somewhere along the lines The United States of America has lost the united part (or maybe we never had it). I feel a change coming on the horizon!
Exercise your right to vote!
From the old world (switzerland): Its interessting and pleasing to see how much involved you people get into this vote. I really hope you'll get a better chance this time. VOTE VOTE VOTE

PEACE
too little too late...make yourself proud and vote for obama
People will be in deep regret if they gonna vote for Barack Hussein Obama, a bogus and the greatest liar. Please don't be persuaded for his speechesm how good he delivered his speech is how bad his intention for the Us.
Today we make history.
Today we will be rewarded after 40 years.
1968 was the begining of the end for champions of change when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King were murdered.
Today we will elect the real leader of change.
MLK & RFK are watching us.
Let them be smiling on us come Nov 5th.
Get out the Vote
Get out and Vote.
VOTE VOTE VOTE
Obama/ Biden '08!!!! Get out and vote! make your voice heard! Vote! Do not leave the polls without voting, no matter what you are told!!! VOTE! THIS IS OUR TIME!
For you that claim that Obama is the Messaih, he is not, nor do I think he is,nor has he himself ever said he was. He is an American with a dream to make things better for us as a country. What you fail to realize is that the Republican party has failed America and the people have recognized that. We are ready for CHANGE and Obama is the Man with a plan for change. I pray that he wins and I pray that the lord keep him from harm.
All I can say is hold on a change is coming go OBAMA! No dirty old man and no slick mouth bimbo. OBAMA/BIDEN2008
"One might think Obama was the second coming of Jesus Christ from the way his followers fawn all over him."

If that's how it seems, it's only because we've been in the toilet for the past eight years - ANYONE who can bring about much needed change and who can turn steer our country to its proper course WOULD seem like a savior!!!
BARACK BABY BARACK!!!
A typical Republican: bigot, ignorant, devisive. Need I say more.
Think about a president named Obama and his middle name, Hussein. Then tell me he is not a Muslim. Once a Muslim, they do not allow you to turn your back on the faith. He would be the worst thing for the LAND OF THE FREE.
He has many dark hidden secrets and we as a nation will definitely pay the consequences. Think about the consequences before you pull the lever.
No president can do any more than the House or Congress will allow. He won't be able to give his professed 95% tax break.
He is like the the anti-christ and we will be sorry in the end if america does not open their eyes before it is to late.
too bad africa has to decide the vote for america,, maybe the o will send them all back,,a democrat for mccain,,, cant wait for the riots to break out,,,
Making the rich pay their bills does not equal socialism. Oh I feel sooooo bad for the mega rich who will pay a whopping 3% more in taxes...now those poor saps will have to just settle for a Porshe instead of a Roll's Royce. Booo hoooo.
You uneducated hilljack Republicans need to actually look up Socialism. Obama does not support the complete government take-over of production and distribution, ya morons. I mean, I know you conservatives hate social programs like Social Security and Medicaid.
Some of us, on the other hand believe in a thing called Ethical Capitalism!
Those mega rich Ivory Tower-dwellers wanted this expensive war so bad; now it's time to pay the bill.
I just voted here in Florida, and we will carry Florida!!!!
Don't listen to any "pundits" predictions about who will win the election–Just vote! I don't care if they say Obama is winning by a million votes–Just vote!!! Make it a million and one.
VOTE!!!
Obama/Biden '08
I am amazed at all the Dems acting like 3 year old with their comments. It will be these same 3 year olds trying to hang their "leader of change" in a year if he wins this election.
I voted for Obama by absentee ballot. I live overseas in Kuwait. I think Failin' Palin and McPain would be a disaster for the USA and the rest of the World.
Go O'

wow this counts as a story? All these "gains" are in the margin of error, infact they are in the margin of errors margin of error. What a joke!!
lord Jesus please don't have another 4 years regardless if it's Obama or mcbush
it will be a sad day for this country if mccain is elected.
Don't we teach our kids at a very early age already to be social?
What does social mean? It means to respect the other person, to share, provide help for the people in need, people who are less fortunate. That's what Americans have always been known for.
This is to all you uneducated Republicans out there:
DO NOT CONFUSE SOCIAL AND SOCIALISTIC!!!
Got it....? I hope so.
I came to this country in 2000, when Bill Clinton was president.
BTW, I would consider him probably the best president America has ever had.
I looked up to American values and loved this country. Then Bush took over and everything changed. I want to be able to love this country again. Go out and vote Obama/Biden 08 – that's your only choice.
Jeff, "Lean" how to spell and grow up.
Obama will most likely win, I just hope his we are not regretting this four years from now. The best line though is his wife saying she is the next Jackie Kennedy, come on now Michelle NOT EVEN CLOSE.
All the focus seems to be on the Presidential election. And although the Presidency is an incredibly powerful position, don't allow yourself to be under-educated on the people running for Congress and Senate. The true power lies in these positions.
What is so great about Obama? Why elect a President of the United States who cannot even put his hand over his heart while the National Anthem is playing or solute the American Flag? And his wife is not even proud to be an American. Why should we vote for Obama when he and his wife are not truely proud to be Americans? It just does not make sense.
