CNN

Hey Indiana Chris you are a moron. How did you even figure out how to post a comment. You are the type my parents warned me about.

how can people honestly complain about the lack of Obama's qualifications when some ignorant hockey mom with less than a couple of years in a position greater than smalltown mayor is a heartbeat away from the presidency?

There is no reason to vote for McCain. His "experience" is negative, and has in large part responsible for this financial crisis and this war.

He belongs in jail, not the white house.

Sarah Palin is a total nutjob, and needs no further comment.

Every complaint against Obama has thus far been about things other people did, not things he did. Complaints about McCain are specific, and directly linked to McCain himself.

The job of the president is to defend the U.S. constitution, and Barack Obama is a constitutional law professor. He is qualified by occupation, by intellect, and by his stance on the issues thus far. He is also qualified, because the American people have decided so. No matter what a bunch on loony freedom-hating fundamentalists think.

If McCain wins and tries to overturn Roe vs.Wade I'm going to freak out.
How is it that someone in the military who's job it is to kill people, can tell me that when i was 17, was raped, and got pregnant I'm not allowed to kill my braindead fetus?

My brother is in the miltarry, and with McCain its very likely he'll be heading out to the middle east soon.

I don't agree fully with Obama that he will be able to do what he say he will, but I voted for him because he is the most in line with my values and where I want to see this country headed, in more ways than military and prochoice areas too.

I fear for this nation. I just hope we get a breath of fresh air and a new generation of ideas.
Obama08!

Don't any of you dear Republicans realize that you will never, ever, EVER win some of us Democrats into even kind of listening to you till you GET OUT OF BED with the Christian coalition??? Separation of church and state. Y'all are so scared of the Muslims, but you want the same thing – to convert everyone and for yours to be the only way. It may surprise you to learn that quite a lot of people are perfectly capable of moral behavior and good ethics without the help of organized religion. "Lord, save me from your followers!"

If mccains voters wanted experence, HOW IN GODS NAME COULD THEY SUPPORT A SILLY AND STUPID VP LIKE PALIN, GIVE ME A BREAK!! OBAMA-BIDEN TRUE LEADERS

Socialism... smocalism. It was just another "scare tactic" for Republicans finding themselves backed into a corner. If they want to blame someone... blame Enron, Exxon, AIG. Gone are the days of Regan's trickle down theory. Republicans let these greedy executives write their own rules and what did they do? They padded their salaries, gave themselves golden parachutes and prayed only to the dividend gods on Wall Street and THEN were stupid enough to go bankrupt. They forgot if they don't keep employees healthy with affordable healthcare, keep their jobs here in the US there's no one able to buy their products or invest money in their banks. Someone(Obama) needs to reign them in and get their priorities straight. Quite frankly Mickey Mouse could've run against the failed Republican ideology and won.

Personally I'm going to enjoy having an intelligent President that can talk his way out of a paperbag instead of having to shoot himself out

to texas forever-–
In Philadelphia Pa. It was definately a black man dress in the typical black panther garbs with a nightstick saying "white power doesn't rule anymore"
not allowing white people to enter the voting office. The cops were called and told them to leave. But they later came back and the cops
were called again. Fear tactics to scare people to vote for Obama.

CNN is very partisan. They have censored my comments. How can you trust a news organization when they will only tell you what they want you to hear?

The New Black Panther Party, if indeed those gentlemen were members and not just posers, did not deploy to intimidate whites or republicans. Get a grip on reality, here. These guys were in a majority black precinct to keep any GOP operatives from suppressing the votes of those black citizens. Geez, can't you think outside yourself and your party?

CNN is very partisan. They have censored my comments. How can you trust a news organization when they will only tell you what they want you to hear.

Once Obama becomes the 44th President, I think people will be impressed with not only the way the world views US, but also, what they have (better education, our sons/daughters/wives/husbands home from Iraq, health care etc) and what they will get when the Re'lic party is OUTTA THERE and no longer lining THEIR pockets with OUR money!!! 13 cars...7 houses...clothes they will probably never wear etc...

GREETINGS EVERYONE I KNOW WE ARE A FEW HOURS AWAY FOR THE FINAL BALLOT I'M NERVOUS BUT I'M GOING TO KEEP MY HEAD UP. PLEASE EVERYONE I KNOW IT'S HARD TO IGNORE MCCAIN OR HIS CAMPAIGN FOR CONTINUING TO ATTACK OBAMA. HEY AS OBAMA SUPPORTER WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BUT A LOT TO GAIN. THIS IS FOR EVERYONE EVEN THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE ABROAD. YES WE CAN !!!!!!!!!

HAVE A BLESSED EVENING

Who wants to share McCain's "values?" McCain ran out on his wife because he came back from the war and found her disfigured from a car accident. He's the one who kept cheating on her with various women and then went on to Cindy . McCain filed for a marriage license when , in fact, he was still married to his 1st wife!
McCain is the one who called his wife a " c- – t",.. McCain is the one who shoved a woman in a wheelchair. McCain is the one who speaks profanities at congressmen and anyone who annoys him.
McCain is the one who ran this campaign with lies and distortations.
You call this "values?"

How could and intelligent person truly believe Obama has the qualifications to be the president? Name his qualifications please! Truth is he doesnt. This has turned out to be nothing but a popularity contest not a question of who is qualified. Its embarrasing. If Im hiring someone for a job I want the best qualified not someone that just talks big but has no credentials to back it up. Plain and simple!

I f I was voting for Obama because he was black, I would be :"Stupid". Reason being, If Obama had the same ideas and values as John McCain, he would most definitely not get my vote. He's getting my vote because he's "RIGHT ON TIME". We need him and it was in deed his time. GO OBAMA!!!! Ron New York, New York

What America needs is a leader with vision, a commitment for change and belief in the future of the USA. Change is good "idea" ... but what people are looking for is someone to make them feel good.

Unfortunately only one of the candidates has had the courage to change anything ... and she running for vice president.

We are holding our breathe in Canada ... change ... we'll see ...

obhama we need u to change this country

I wanted to Nominate SNOOP DAWG!

He can't do worse than the outgoing administration.....

And we would be a lot more safe! Who needs Secret Service when you have the NWA?!

Bow wow wow yippie yo yippie yeah
Snoop Dawg is in the f_____ng white house!

even my dad who lands in the category of fiscal republican (who even voted for Bush because of money reasons)..even HE couldnt bring himself to vote for McCain after he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate.

also...Why is religion slowly seeping into everything that governs our lives? Do we feel threatened by Islam and feel like we have to up the anty on our christian-ness? Because in doing so we're becoming just as bad as any religious totalitarian state.

SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE. and that means no pandering to someone just because they are the same religion as you.

Obhama!!!!!!!! obhama!!!!!!!! obhama will change this country

Go Obahmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have fate for u

Obama/McCain '08!!

GO USA!!!

to the people posting about this Black Panther stuff..PLEASE give a link or something because other than here I have seen nor heard nothing about it. I for one didn't even think this group still existed.

McCain supporters are bloody selflish. All they care about is me, me, me. Obama will take all of MY money. Share MY values (that's as closed-minded a statement as they come.. and it's ironic given that McCain cheated on his crippled wife with Cindy.. hmm). And the sad thing is, a heck of a lot of them are extremely religious. Jesus preached giving to the needy, not freaking out at the idea of being taxed in order to repair a very broken country with A LOT of debt.

I love Obama. I woke up this morning and just cried for joy when I realized election day was finally here. Finally the nightmare of George W. Bush will be over! Finally we will have a leader we can be proud of! Finally America will be a great country again!

OBAMA/BIDEN for the win!

40% want someone who shares their value and 6% want someone who cares about people. Does that mean that 38% of McCain voters do not care about other people?

I along with a goodly percentage of Canadians have been watching the proceedings leading up to your election. The whole world is watching and if McCain wins, the American people will get what they deserve after voting George Bush in for a second term. "No minds" never learn. My hope is that are more intelligent people in America who will override the "no minds". Obviously Kentucky is populated by the less than intelligent types. Good luck to Obama and the American people!

Yeah, Obama is going to bring "change" all right....except that it will be "oops, that's not the kind of change I wanted."

I refuse to validate the corrupt actions of the DNC in stealing the primary for Obama. This lifelong democrat will NOT be voting for Obama. Thanks to the DNC for proving Dems can steal an election just like the Republicans!

In response to CHRISSY, If mccain had a crappy campaign what do you think that will reflect on him being president. Obama all the way, We need a change simply because the current and future methods of mccain have and are not working.

Health, Longevity, Dedication, Change, Effectiveness of Running mates, Caring about People, Views on world preservation, wanting to change our curuptedness on the world. All this spells OBAMA
what more can I say OBAMA is the right Man for the Job.

Simply put: there is good change and bad change, necessary change and change for the sake of change. I've never heard O's definition, however. Nor anything I would call a specific.

John McCain is a wealthy man with few houses but Obama has one house and he went to one of the top school for his degree, He was not born rich so he would know the pain of main street such as schooling, job loss and other day to day issue. We are in hole because of the wrong foreign policy, and I believe that the 9/11 was also result of these policies. I never understood that why Bush administration went after Iraq and not Afghanistan, as OBL hideout ia afghanistan and not IRAQ.. They went after Iraq 's oil . If Bush administration have adopted the different resolution instead of IRAQ War, the country would be not be in economic crises. I would like to give chance to Obama, as he is backed by proven leaders auch as Bill Clinton who left the country with surplus, Collin Powel with military experience, Joe Bidden who is atleast experience with foreign policies and warren Buffe, who is authority on ecpnomics. However, John McCain , may not even have education as of Obama or Sarah Palin , my God , with the canadian prank call, the way she is talking and can be pranked , just think what she would do if some one calls and tell her that something serious happen , she may order " ATTACK " on Chaina instead of Iran , becuase of her geography knowledge. God Bless America and hope people select democrates and not repblican ticket with sarah Palin, please readers dont get me wrong, I like some policies of republicans and John McCain as war hero but his choice of running mate made me think about his ability of Judgement.. So Pray GOD BLESS AMERICA and PEOPLE OF AMERICA to make the right choice. THX for reading my long comment

Ilive in canada and I think its time the USA puts there pants on and vote for obama

Finally no more awful commercials from the McCain campaign and no more racist ones from Senator Dole.

I pray Obama wins and I pray fro nj for the "black panther intimation" comment it was rude and ignorant and indicative of the McCain party and the change they are NOT really trying to make.

If Obama wins I guess I will sell my business and join the rest of the 40% of Americans who don't pay federal income taxes so then maybe I can get a handout as well. Something for doing nothing, the way of the democrats. It is sad situation.

The ironic thing is that with all the experience O brings to the table, if he wins, both parties may end up looking barack at these as 'good old days.'

"Of those who voted for McCain, more than 40 percent said they want a president who "shares my values,"
==============================
ok its "values" this time.... "morals" last time... always living in some self sentered box concerned with yourselves and not what this country is becoming.

I dune vote for McCain! He don't need none of that there city edukation! My momma done gave me birth and dhe same day I done start to work! We dun't need no city boy with his store bought edukation come and tell us country boys what to do!

Yehaw!

As an Obama voter, I feel this nation needs a far more intelligent person in the Oval Office than the past 8 years. I want a VP with experience, not one who idnetifies with an org that want to secede from the Union. I also voted for the candidate that told me more about what his administration would try to accomplish as opposed to one that told me nothing.

I am a registered independent.

Obama represents hope, and we set forth our warrior! May change prevail and may we regain the respect of the World with OUR choice!
Blue Girl in a Red State.

McCain represents the past and the American people are thinking about the future.

Obama!!!!!!

I hope Americans show themselves and the world that we are open to change real change and steering away from the cowboy antics of people like bush and McCain who think the only waY to solve problems is to make war!!!

I voted Obama, he is going to change this country. Go OBAMA!!!!!

I could not live with myself if I shared McCain's values.

The main difference I've observed is that Obama voters say they want a government that empowers individuals to pursue their goals, talents and dreams; but that also protects and serves people as only a government entity can (National Defense, roads, schools, etc.). In general they seem more hopeful.

McCain voters, on the other hand, seem to want a "Daddy" government that forces their personal religious or spiritual values onto individuals (they KNOW when life begins, they KNOW same-sex marriage is wrong, they KNOW everyone should accept wire-tapping, etc.). In general, they seem more fearful.

Obama/Bidden are gonna change this world we live in. Who ever does not think so, is not very smart or makes too much money

tell me im racist for not voting for obama because hes black.
you're voting for him because hes black. youre the racist ones.

BLACK PANTHER intimidation is just a glimpse into what to expect of obama is president.
unbelievable!!

McCain all the way!!!!

I voted for Obama for 3 reasons:
1) No Confidence of the Republican past 8 years and lack of believable plan for future.
2) The attack culture of the Republican party, almost 3rd World.
3) The choice of Palin was an absolute aweful choice that was the nail in the coffin for me.

"Comparatively not as intelligent?" Speaking as an Obama voter, I think that claim might be unfair.

bern: What kind of fantasy world are you living in with the comment Obama supporters are "smarter"? Check your demographics please.

You bet we want change. The great socialist movement has begun and we need to hit those rich people with 35%+ tax on their fat 401k's.

So a sign of voting b/c of color?! Typical

Just think about all the experience George Bush had running businesses into the ground. If only 2% of Obama voters said experience was important, only 6% of McCain voters said experience was important. No wonder McCain's "I have the experience" campaign did not work – noone was listening.

Traditionalist activism emerges out of a fear of the complexities of modernity...

Remember that VOTING is just like driving: if ya wanna go FORWARD you put it in (D) and if ya wanna go in REVERSE... well you get it...

I wonder if Bush will trash the whitehouse before he leaves... I've seen the movie "W."

Barack Obama is the guy who can bring about change.

Obama/Biden '08

Bern – sorry to say, but making a blanket statement like that makes it certainly seem like you are the closed minded one lacking in intelligence..c'mon, can you really believe such a thing? How can you not accept that people have many different viable reasons why they vote for who they vote for, and even if they disagree with you, that does not make them wrong, stupid, closed minded or anything for that matter....for you to judge them as such is hypocritical. Do you understand that word...?

This whole election has been about poeple standing for their pick! So tired of people saying Obama isn't qualified. If he wasn't, he would not have gotten this far!! Republicans should pay Democrats the same respect that they expect. Instead, they want to tell us anything and expect us to think that just becuase they did things that way in the past they are going to "shake things up" when they get to Washington. Where's the proof?? McCain can't give you any. He just goes negative when he's asked too many questions. Sure!! Take the spot light off of the real issues. I haven't trashed McCain but his platform does not work for me. Someone with different views can only change this country. Only time will tell how. But it terrifies me to think that people are voting for McCain and he is no different from Bush! I didn't vote Bush in 2000 nor 2004. I said things were going to get bad but never could have imagined that they would have gone like this. Guess what!! This is real!! Some people will never learn. It's very unfortunate. But for now. Yes We Can!! Obama/Biden 08

And they said it would never happen!

Bern,

What an open-minded comment. Your support for McCain is too transparent.

McCain voters are bitter and angry, just like their candidate. Obama gives people hope.

GOBAMA!!

YES WE CAN!

It's not rocket science to predict that economy would be the biggest factor in this election...while I don't think Democrats are best equipped to bail the country out of this turmoil, I wouldn’t hesitate to express my view that picking Sarah Palin hasn’t helped the cause at all…Mitt Romney would definitely have helped in swinging the undecided and independents while ensuring our base stays intact.

Thought????

John McCain appealed to the racists in this country so I guess that they share his values as a bigot.

John McCain appealed to the rich and greedy in this country so I guess they also share his values.

John McCain appealed to the zealots in this country so they too share his values.

Nice going John your on a course to be worst than George Bush.

Not even Obamas grandmother wanted to wait and see what he would do to the country.

Republicans are SOOO upset that Obama is ahead that they just had to create all of these Ballot initiatives to ban abortion, Affirmative Action and equality for gay people just to give themselves some solace tonight.

And for that reason, tonight will be bitter-sweet for all fair minded Americans.

the amazing thing is the same repubs were making similar arguments to get Bush elected. Some people never learn.....or maybe forget too soon. Dont you understand that Obama's tax rates are similar to the rates during Clintons or Reagons time.....were they then socialists too..how did big businesses do during those time?...the only thing that is new here is that McCain will start taxing your health insurance....please think.

Barack Obama is the guy who can bring about change.

Obama/Biden '08

obama has done it.....lets watch him on the world stage

Yeah dats right...Obama is the Man!

Change? What happened to the change in my pocket?

Oh, Obama. I can already feel your hand on my wallet.

2% of Obama voters are looking for experience in their Commander-in-Chief. That sounds about right. Maybe a little high...

VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN AMERICA IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE

This is what I love about CNN's polling. I cannot wait to read their next "Flash Exit Poll" – "Most Catholics indicated that they don't agree with abortion". I for one cannot wait for you guys to go back to your regularly scheduled content like farming embryos for miracle cures to ingrown toenails.

The main difference between Obama voters and McCain voters is much more fundamental. Obama voters, as a whole, are smarter, want positive change and are willing to look past the stupidity of racism. McCain voters on the other hand are comparatively not as intelligent, racist for the most part and closed minded.

We want a government that cares for all people.

We want our religion in church.

I'm another first time voter who did not vote for Obama. Being sick of a broken Republican party is no reason to vote for one of the most liberal senators in Washington. Do you people even know what you are voting for or are you just so inspired by his speeches you figure he MUST be good for this country...? The Republican party knows it needs to be fixed to run the way it was intended, and now that we hit rock bottom with the Wall Street crisis, I believe it would finally happen if John McCain was President. He ran a crappy campaign; but I still think he is good for this country.

VALUES!! I don't understand the Right Wing Republicans anymore. What values has this campaign shown you? All they have shown is how to deceve, lie, attack someones character, racism, show hatered and bigotedness. If that is the values you are talking about, than you have NO VALUES and you are all HYPOCRITS!!!

God Help us if Mccain has a stroke, He is a good Candidate for a stroke, Dont you see what he looks like, He just looks like a stroke waiting to happen and then what His running mate? ha ha ha Maybe we would have better luck asking for a polar bear for help!!!

We NEED a Change! McCain knew that when he stole Obamas slogan. The Americans are burnt out after the last 8 years.

The biggest difference is ... Obama supporters do not want to elect a 'hateful war mongering idiot' ....

OBAMA/BIDEN -ALL THE WAY

Vote for Party or Country.Pretty easy to see who the Patriots are isn't it America?

Ugh....

freaking "values" voters....

you guys STILL owe America an apology for GWB...

Maybe, the religious fascists in control of the Reptilian party will see America, does not share their HATE VALUES.

Philadelphia democrats must not be very confident if they feel it is necessary to employ the Blank Panthers to intimidate any possible republican votes in their inner-city precincts. I am not surprised that they aren't willing to win without these types of tactics. Pathetic!

I love David Gergen – he knows Obama will be our next President.

Kentucky folks are just not yet in the 21st century. More reasons for a better education in ALL States.

Obama/Biden

Obama!Obama!Obama!

We want to look forward.

Obama/Biden '08
