CNN

Not so important as the outcome of the race, but please fix the grammatical error in the title.

TIME FOR CHANGE is right...It's about time...

"McCain Supporter" Maybe you should move to another country if you think that the USA is full of "idiots"...
CHANGE IS NOW! VOTE OBAMA '08!

Medai has such an impact on everything else except what is important. Why can't we stick to the basics. Vote conservative and the government "generally" will spend less which means less out of your pocket. Vote liberal and generally you'll have more taxes, more regulation and less ability to make decisions for yourself. I'm voting Republican. Race, religion, personality really don't matter to me as much.

Yeah Yallz

I should practice what I preach. It's grammar, not grammer

Just because I am not voting for Obama doesn't make me a racist. I don't agree with gay marriage or abortion. That's why he isn't getting my vote..the color of his skin doesn't have a thing to do with it.

If Obama losses it proves that he is a bad candidate for Presidency. I would rather make the decision of where my money should be spent not some inexperienced politician with an imaginary idea how to run the best Nation on Earth. Give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a life time. You can't give our hard earned dollars away to people who are not willing to take advantage of being born into a society with many opportunities. If people are going to believe that Obama lost due to racists than those people should pack up and move to Canada.

Just because I didn't vote for Obama doesn't make me racist. And saying you must be racist for not voting for a man because of his skin color is just as bad as only voting for him because of his skin color. Either way I voted for McCain because I serve in the Army and I would rather my battle buddies come home safe and later, than sooner and in a body bag.

Please use correct grammer and spelling. The polls are "too close to call", not "to close to call".

A lot of you keep saying that if Obama loses, it is all because everybody is racist. Has it ever occurred to you that the only way you can get past racism is to quit using it as your excuse for everything. If you let it constantly be your source of blame, then we will never be able to get rid of it! I personally do not support Obama, but that isn't because I am a racist. I just don't like his stance on the issues.

CNN please learn our language!!

It should state "Polls TOO close to call."

God please help MI,
just give us hope & real change=
Obamanation!!!

WE ALREADY KNOW THERES AT LEAST 53 MILLION IDIOTS IN THIS COUNTRY! THAT'S HOW MANY VOTED TO "REELECT" GEORGE W. BUSH! NOW THATS AN IDIOT FOR YOU!

American Voter i have to agree with. Yes there is a racial componet to this race but there will always be people who vote thier own albeit Catholics, Babptist, black, white, whatever. There are still more of us who love Obama for what he stands for, than more of you who hate the color of his skin, so chill out folks, we will be ...I'm sorry I forgot....all Obama haters I 've been at this all day so let's say it together, 1.................2................3.............President Obama, no wdon't you feel good about yourself? You Betcha!

Obama/Biden 2012

Your right this country is still full of racism, you cant blame white americans of racism it is everyone. Black americans that have no sense of what Barack is about will vote for him because he is black, just as well as a white person would vote Mccain. It disgusts me how african americans throw the race card constantly. Im proud to say vote right vote white. I have absolutly no shame in that. Be proud of who you are and where you come from, i proudly say im white.

drill baby drill
mine baby mine
mccain baby maccan
palin baby palin

By CNN!.... I will a place open for you in Canada...

I don't see how people can just say that if McCain is elected pres. that we live in a racist country. I personally hate the views and concerns of Obama because he isn't prepared to run our country. He needs more time in the senate or the house to be truely ready to run our country. I am a full McCain supporter not because hes white (or Obama being black) but because I love his views for the economy. Don't be ignorantly voting on Obama cause you just want to have our first black president but because you actually like his views. I guess thats too hard to understand for some of the un-educated voters in our country though...

Obama Supporter-
I already voted for Obama but I caution you to be careful what you say. We cannot turn this election into a one issue race. Some people will vote for McCain because they prefer his stand on abortion or gay marriage, or some other such issue. I can't argue with them on that.

Some will support McCain because they make more than $250K and don't want their taxes to go up. That is their right though I would caution them to think about the future of the country more than just what they need.

Some people are racists. It's obvious, but not all are.

George Bush the demise of the republican party

Thank you Em for noticing a grammatical mistake made by such a large news outlet. I see it "too"

maybe the title is correct. maybe the polls are to close (at 8 pm local time) to call. maybe we're thinking they meant clos (soft s) and not cloz (z), but maybe they meant to close!

personally im scared either way this election goes... there is either a man who refuses to stand for the american flag or one who says he can help our economy when in all seriousness he has no worries as he is married to a millionaire.... May the best one win i guess

Go Obama. Whoo Hoo!!

Barack the Vote!!!!!

Reading the first comment posted only is proof that if John McCain wins tonight it will be blamed on racism and not the issues. Lets not forget, 90% of all African Americans are voting for Obama. Not because he is a Dem but because he is black. If John Mccain wins tonight I feel sorry for those that have worked so hard in small business because the riots and lootings will begin. By the way, I am a Veteran and African American and I voted for John Mccain.

If Obama loses this thing, it does NOT prove racism. I voted for McCain and I'm no racist. I personally don't believe Obama is qualified to be president or commander-in-chief. John McCain has over 20 years of experience in Washington compared to not quite 4 for Obama. There are too many factors at play and I believe it is wrong to call someone a racist just because they didn't vote for Obama. Get a clue.

Ooh, bad form to blame racist white people for the outcome of a national election. I am sure that you didn't mean it that way.....so does that make you...wait don't tell me oh wait, I got it ...a racist????

i believe that god holds this in his hands and only he can decide
go mccain

Whoever wins wins ... no excuses. Support the winner or leave the country ... simple as that. We should all be united, not divided.

If Obama wins, terrorists win. If McCain wins, the rich wins.

the only reason this is a racist issue is because multi reces are involved. but to say that if obama does not win makes me a racist, shows your ignorence and stupidity. Obama has court sealed most all his records? he says nothing of substance. how could anybody vote for someone with no record. Colen powell I would have voted for untill he backed obama, colen is either a recist or hes looking for a job!!!

A moderate.

I'm a racist if I vote for McCain. Wow. I didn't know that I was a racist.
That's amazing. I thought I just was a different mind that the Democratic Party.

That is sad that racism is going to be the word if Obama doesn't win.

Why do people say that if Obama doesnt win that people are racist? Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It means that people dont agree with him. I, for one, disagree with almost every one of his policy proposals (I do agree on abortion and civil rights). Therefore, I hope he does not win. But, if he does, I will hope that all Americans give him the respect and hope the best for the Senator from Illinois. I sincerely hope that McCain supporters are much more respectful of Obama than Obama supporters are of anyone who isnt buying what Obama is selling. To be called stupid, racist, unenlightened and to "go away for four years"...I thought the whole "change" thing was to rachet down the rancor and mean-spirited attacks. Apparently not.

This is my comment.

Im just gearing for the riots and looting and pillaging, Hurricane Katrinas older brother hittin nationwide yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldnt have said it better:

Praying for the nation
November 4th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Voting for McCain does not reflect racism, but rather care for the national economy and a financial structure that is not reflective of socialism. Voting for McCain is also a vote against infanticide of children of all races.

its sad that more people are concerned with grammar than the election. Although it drives me nuts to see it spelled 'to' instead of 'too'. You work for CNN for cryin' out loud!

What's it matter CNN you and the other media companies already have Obama claiming victory. SAD

ummm... Spell checker? pleeze.... really R we worried about grammer ore the prezident

How can we ever tell if the count will be lagit? I'm an Obama man but, i seriously do not believe they will let him win...... Let us pray...

I voted for John McCain, a true American hero. I trust him. I could never vote for Obama, a man who is the most liberal member of the Senate. I don't believe Obama will win and it has nothing to do with his race. It's his values. He's way off.

"Polls TOO close to call..."

Thank you, please fix the error.

I like how if Obama loses its because this country is racist and has nothing to with people disagreeing with his policies, whereas if Mccain loses its because people dont agree with his policies. Talk about hypocrisy

I am white and I believe that if obama loses it does mean that we are still a very racist country!

You seem to forget who has been the majority in Congress for the last 4 years, Congress makes the laws the president signs them into law.

Right on Rachel. Two bad moar wern't spent on edjacation in this country

peter November 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET

I thought this race was not about Race!

hahah! that's awesome

Typo in your headline:
Polls to close to call in six key states

Should be: Polls "TOO" close, not "TO" close

gotta love America..."to close to call". Dumb down dumb down.

Hey CNN you missed an "o" in your too. Who cares. I can't believe there are people checking spellings right now. There si an election going on, maybe you should pay attention to that

Are the polls to close early? OH, my bad, "toooooo" close to call.

Hey, McCain is doing better than I thought he would. Go John! (My dad was a plumber and a Republican when he died.)

Please fix it – too close to call. I hope Obama improves the educational system in the country.

that was probably the most racist comment you could make. congrats!

if you're not an obama supporter it does not mean you're racist. there are people who actually read and support policies.

although i'm not saying mccain should win, just don't be contentious and confront others.

chill.

What i would like to know is why are we racist if Obama losses his race doesn't have anything to do with political beliefs and if i don't agree with them then how does that make me racist? Furthermore you would just be saying the same thing if Hillary was in this race only that the country is sexist instead of racist because she is a woman. So instead of being an ignorant fool on the internet think about what your saying before hand because stupid comments like our country is racist is not needed and furthermore most likely not supported by Obama himself. Whoever wins is our president and blaming it on something none related to politics is juvenile.

If the law of attraction is accurate Obama will win. Global polls show that the rest of the world wants Obama to win 4 to 1 in his favor. Good luck Obama!

I thought this might be an intelligent forum but it is clear that Barrack's promise, and his goals are being clouded by people with color STILL ON the mind.

I am a Republican, white and have a Phd...I voted for Barrack. What does that make me?

It's wise to say "too close to call" at this early point in the night. They don't want to repeat the debacle of calling Florida for Gore in 2000 then rescinding it later.

Polls "to" close to call in six key states?
Product of a liberal education.
And we should believe what you misspell why?

PLEASE get on the grammar! it's "too", not "to". Whoever wrote this should be denied his or her journalism degree (if he or she was ever issued said)

Or it proves that race had nothing to do with the election and this country still doesn't buy into the vague platform of "change" as the new direction of this country. Substance, not race, will determine the outcome. Playing the race card as a reason to vote a certain way or a reason for the outcome is just as racist as not voting for someone for the same reasons.

In response to Obama Supporter

Suggesting that the outcome of this election is based on race, without any evidence other than your opinion, is in itself a racist comment.

wow thanks for that enlighting criticism, lets all pause and absorb that...

dose it really make a difference how the spelled "to" i think most people will figure out what the ment.
go get a life!!!!!!

Please... I voted for obama but I respect the rights of expression and opinion of those who voted for mcain. And I do not say that the black people who voted for Obama did so because they are racist. Let's move beyond your narrow minded racist mentality.

RIDICULOUS! Why is it everything is blamed on race? Do you not realize the dems were in office THE LAST TWO YEARS? thats fine, blame everything on race...I however live in a place called REALITY, thanks. Isn't Obama half white? HMMM, RACIST huh? lol, he's NOT african american AT ALL, his dad was AFRICAN KENYAN!!! GTFO BROOOOOO!!! (that means brother, not in the racist sense )

I'm so sick of people using the race, age, and gender cards. That is not at all what this election should be about what's best for this nation as a whole, not what race, gender, or age groups is going to socially benefit from the outcome. Please grow up and learn to think.

Yeah? And if Obama WINS this thing it proves that there are just as many idiots in this country as I always suspected.

If Obama doesn't win, it could be the fact that this election is rigged. I don't believe that so many people would vote for Mccain over Obama. However, I do believe that the Republicans have the power to rigg an election to their benefit.

Spelling? I believe it would be "too" close to call.

All I ask America is to be fair. I'm for Obama. . .

PERHAPS JUST PERHAPS IF OBAMA LOOSES MAYBE IT IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T AGREE WITH HIS POLICIES, INSTEAD OF CALLING EVERYONE RACIST, TRY THINKING THAT OTHERS DON'T AGREE WITH THE MAN. PERHAPS

Maybe the problem is you trusted the extremely liberal media to lead you to water. When you have 10 year old kids on Democratic adds telling you how to vote there is something wrong. Unfortunately there brains haven't developed all the way and liberal adds take advantage. Do what ever it takes right? Wrong, the strong America will unite tonight and vote for who they really want, either Obama or McCain but it won' be swayed by liberal polls!!!!!

McCain has 69% in GEORGIA???? What are they thinking??

well then how about we just do away with these stupid polls and wait for the real results?

In reference to Obama Suporter's Comment:
Just because someone doesn't vote for Obama does not mean that they are raciest. There are more issues that need to be considered other than race. If a person's race is the only reason we are voting for that person, then we have failed as a country and failed to use our power of voting to its full potential.

Sure sound like the Obama Supporter is the Racist,give it up that went out in the 70's

I agree, sadly, the only thing McCain has over Obama is the color of his skin.... if Obama were a white man, the race would be pretty close to unanimous.. On a good note, the fact that Obama IS black has made millions of people who would not ordinarily Care, get out and Vote... most of them for the first time.. myself included...

There may be plenty of racists in the red states to be sure. Red is Republican and Red is for hate. Fear is the Republican way. But there are plenty of whites like myself that voted for Obama today here in California. I wonder how many people of color voted for discriminating
against gays and lesbians here today? United we stand devided we fall.

FROGY
YOU REALLY BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT GOD HAVING ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS ELECTION? IF THERE WAS A GOD THEN THERE WOULDN'T BE "PEOPLE" LIKE YOU!!!!!!!

God help us all if Obama wins. Obama supporter... just because people might vote against Obama does not mean they are racist. I would easily vote for a black President... if I agreed with that person's place on the issues. I disagree with Obama on health care, on abortion, and on many other issues. I am voting based on issues.. not on color. How about all the blacks... voting for Obama ONLY because he's black without even knowing where he stands on the issue.... are they racist against whites in your mind? I do not trust Obama. There fore, I voted against him. McCain is not Bush... It's going to take more then 4 years to Fix America.. no matter who wins. All we can do is wait... and hope for the best, no matter who our leader is.

Obama Supporter, that is completely ignorant. People will vote for McCain based off of the issues, not his race. There will be exceptions, but they'll be the minority. Sounds like you are supporting Obama based purely on race. That's terrible.

Obama Supporter are you serious. Why do you democrats always have to play the race card. Your policies aren't even close to correct, so you have to play this race card, what a load.

Wait, wait, wait, if we didn't vote for Obama we're both white and racist? I happen to be neither, and I voted McCain because I'm also not a socialist with the desire to throw this nation into a depression.

Actually, if he "looses this thing," it has nothing to do with "racist whites" in this country. It would have much more to do with people who are smart enough to sort through his false rhetoric about the economy. This bad economy has nothing to do with Bush loosening regulation of Wall Street. In fact, the SEC regulations originated during the Clinton years, and Bush, typical of him, sat on his behind and did nothing. The real blame lies at the feet of those politicians who forced banks to give loans to people who were such risky borrowers that banks would otherwise refuse them loans. When gas prices rose and defaults followed, the economic hen came home to roost - in Barney Frank's and Barack Obama's yard. It's ironic that an economic crisis might propel Obama into office. It's the one area that is least qualified to handle.

"Frog Lover November 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET
If Obama loses it just proves that God is still in control of this nation."

LOL!! Because the devil hasn't been running this nation for the last 8 years....??? Please believe that if Obama gets elected, God's hand is pouring a blessing over the USA!

There are other reasons besides race that cause people to vote.

Not only that, it proves that dirty politics is what America stands for. The ignorance of people not voting for Obama because of B.S., i.e., he is an Muslim, the Anti-Christ, a terrorist, not a naturalized citizen. It proves that facts no longer win elections, ignorance, naiveness, and implanting fear in our brains does. Our country will suffer badly if McCain/Palin wins this election!

In a word, NO

So if you vote for McCain you must be a racist?

Obama supporter you should be able to do better than that!

I think thats an ignorant statement. None of us should make this about race. It's about the canidates. Obama didn't make it about race and neither should his supporters.

You want to talk about racist what obama getting 92% of the black vote.if mccain was black and obama white keep the issues the same I bet mccain gets 92% of the black vote. That's racist!

Wow. With 4% of precincts reporting, Warner (D Senate) is ahead in VA while Obama is behind. That makes me nervous. All day today I was thinking it was going to be a landslide for Obama.

i don't like obama or mccain. so i voted for mickey instead

I couldn't agree with you more. It's really sad to see so much hatred here in our own country. Pathetic.

it could also be clinton supporters who are voting mccain because my whole family of 6 who voted for clinton are voting mccain! obama did not even win the electoral college against clinton what makes him think he could against mccain even though he got the supper delegates backing him! thats the only reason he won against clinton!

I think we should wait until the votes are counted before we pull out the race card. It simply does injustice to what Barrack stands for.

who is the spell checker? Find something better to do

Come on man, why does everyone always have to pull the race card?

If Alan Keyes or Al Sharpton ran for president I wouldn't vote for them, and it isn't because they're black.

I support Obama, but honestly if you want to help stop racism, you need to stop pulling the race card, it will hurt your chances at getting rid of racism more than it will help them. Believe it or not, some people don't want Obama in just because they don't agree with his policies, black or white.

Nothing to do with race. Dems screwed up the economy with sub prime mess.

Obama Supporter: So your saying your voting based on the color of someone's skin? Wow thats deep. There is more important issues than color...by the way I am independent.

The "headline" should read Polls TOO close to call....

Please check your grammar, CNN!

Here we go,, just because someone supports McCain means they are racist. Since Obama is friends with a known terrorist does that mean if u support him then your a terrorist?

Just because someone doesn't vote for Obama does not automatically make them a racist. In that case.. following your example then wouldn't you be a racist for not voting for someone simply because they are white.

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect. Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.

In a day with an unprecedented level of global attention, the United States of America elects its 44th president. So much has been written about it if there is no last-minute surprise, I am betting on Obama.
He has done everything right in his campaign – coming across as calm, intelligent and presidential, whereas McCain has been erratic, impulsive and (in his choice of the woefully undercooked Sarah Palin as his running mate) irresponsible. If Obama were white, this would not even be a close contest. If he loses despite having run the most impressive presidential campaign in recent Democratic memory, will it mean that the candidate of change has been defeated by the one thing he cannot change – the colour of his skin??

I voted for OBAMA and am very proud of it!!!!!
I hope I wake up in the Morning and he is president....

Voting for McCain does not reflect racism, but rather care for the national economy and a financial structure that is not reflective of socialism. Voting for McCain is also a vote against infanticide of children of all races.

Maybe some people think experience is what makes a good leader, not charisma.

If Obama loses, that does not mean that Americs is full of racists. I think that people should just forget the fact that he's half black. It makes no difference and I don't think that someone would vote for McCain just because he is white if they disagree with his views. This election has nothing to do with the color of skin, and if people really think it does, than they really don't know enough about our country, now do they?

Frog Lover November 4th, 2008 7:43 pm ET
If Obama loses it just proves that God is still incontrol of this nation.

George W. Bush is God?

So if an African-American votes for the African-American candidate it is because they believe in the policies of the individual but if a white voter votes for the white candidate it is because he is a racist?

Could me just stop with all the racist crap? It isn't going to do us any good right now. Anyways, here's hoping Obama does win.

Lifelong democrat.....but may the best man win...God Bless us and God bless the United States of America...we are Obama supporters and we trust he will make the right choices for us and our children....but we as Americans must learn to make our own way and work hard for ourselves and our childrens future...I know we can do it

Should read: Too Close to Call...

Too, not to

If Obama Wins it proves that the Democrats are as corrupt as I have always suspected

shouldn't that read "too close to call"? I suppose CNN doesn't have time to get things right – they just have to be first.

myspace.com/ph
GO GO GO GO GO GO G OG

TYPO, kids

should read 'Polls TOO close to call'

WHEN IT COMES TO POLITICS, I DON'T TRUST ANYTHING. I JUST HOPE WE CAN HAVE AN ELECTION WITHOUT IT BECOMING A HISTORY MAKING DISASTER.

Wow, only 4 comments and an Obama supported already pulled the race card. Gotta love that even if someone doesn't vote for Obama because we disagree with his policies, its not *actually* because of that, its because we're racist.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Racism still exists in places in this country only because people on BOTH sides refuse to let go.

Dude, chill. everthing's going to be FINE.

Or, shockingly, it means they disagree with Obama's policies.

isn't it "too" close to call?

If Obama loses it just proves that God is still incontrol of this nation.

When Obama wins will you all just go away for four yeaes please.

Do you think your projections have any effect on the Western states that have polls still open?

The fact that some of these states are too close to call at this time is a VERY good sign for Obama.
Obama 08 TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!!!

I'm seriously worried. Why in the heck is John McCain up in the polls? I know the earlier polls that were taken don't matter but still! What's going to happen? Its all up in the air. I hope Obama wins, I really do!

I HOPE OBAMA WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS AN OBAMANATION

I love the fact that traditionally Republican states are "too close to call". Even if Obama doesn't win said states, the fact that HE caused them to be TCTC says it all. GO OBAMA! from a non-racist never raised that way Texan!

Tell us when you do know!! OMG!

CNN editor, we know you're busy with this election's news, but please check your spelling. The title should read, "Polls too close to call......"

If Obama looses this thing it proves that there are just as many racist whites in this country as I always suspected. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. These people will have to live with the fact that they elected a bad economy and George Bush for a third term.

Um, please fix the grammatical error in the title of this article. Thank you.
