What If the Polls Are Wrong?

There have been in the neighborhood of 159 national polls in the last six weeks. Most of those polls have Barack Obama ahead of John McCain,  including our ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll, that has Obama comfortably ahead 53-44.

But what if the polls are wrong?

It’s happened before. Remember that famous Chicago Tribune newspaper headline "Dewey Defeats Truman" back in 1948?  But in that case, the last polls of the election had been completed in mid-October. Not on the eve of the election.

If it turns out that McCain wins tomorrow night in the face of so many polls that even at this late hour show Obama ahead comfortably, I think you have to say that the industry of political public opinion polling in this country will be shot.

They’ll have to build from the ground up. People will have to rethink how they do this work.

The same thing will hold true for the political media.  We know that polls are just a snapshot in time. But I think Americans will really questions what they’re hearing from now on from the political media.

Probably even more important, if this happens tomorrow, I think a significant number of Americans will be in a state of political shock. They may not believe what they’re seeing tomorrow night.

Right now we’re looking at polls where not only is Obama ahead nationally, he’s ahead in the key states he needs to win.

Of course, anything can happen tomorrow. The media has had to eat crow on election night before.

But we’ve never really seen so much polling at this late date all pointing in the same direction. –George Stephanopoulos

Vote wisely!
Which is better for our economy: Obama redistributing our wealth or McCain growing more wealth?
Obama will take more money from the Americans who already pay the great majority of income taxes and “spread the wealth” to many who don’t even pay taxes to begin with in the form of a government check. :(
Obama thinks it is his right to redistribute wealth, but it certainly isn’t the view of the average American worker, and it is obviously wrong.
McCain thinks the way for America to prosper is to leave Americans with more of their income, allowing them to do what they do best — create the businesses, jobs, and opportunities that drive our vast economy.
Government has to be paid for, and that money comes from guys like Joe the plumber. Politicians can either bleed him dry to fund their programs, or they can encourage Americans to create more jobs and more wealth – and keep government limited and effective.
Obama does not include survivors of botched abortions in his “the least of these!” :)
It is your choice!
This former democrat and Hillary supporter voted for McCain/Palin 08! They are America’s only choice for authentic reform! :)

The only way McCain will win is if he wins the way Bush did- by cheating and stealing the election.

If Obama loses tomorrow, I don’t think it will be the media or the pollsters we will have to examine. It will be quite obvious there would be a problen in tallying ballots.
Say what you want about the Bradley effect. That happened 35 years ago and we didn’t see it in the primaries. Why should we see it now.
Technology has brought our prediction capabilities much more accurate.
Don’t blame the media or the pollsters. Blame our voting system.

The time has come for Americans to sweep away the far-right wing lunatic Christian nut jobs in the government who are hell-bent on stuffing their backwards views down our throats. We’ve had enough. The neo-cons have put us in a colossal mess and they need to pay by getting the hell out and staying out for good. All you cons care about is yourselves and the wealthy cronies. You don’t give a hoot about your country. It’s always, “Me! Me! Me!”
You far-right cons represent all that is unpleasant about human character: bigotry, ignorance, arrogance, mean-spiritedness, vindictiveness, dishonesty, lack of class, selfishness, lack of compassion, etc. Observing the way you’ve been running the various campaigns around the country, your true colors have shown right through. You have run this great country of ours into the ground with amazing incompetence and sown hatred across party and ideological lines. You’ll be swept out and the rest of America will do whatever it can to keep you lunatics in your hole where you belong.

I wish the wealth-haters would get it right. Tax breaks for the middle class is a good thing for stimulating the economy.
Let’s also restore our 401Ks, retirement accounts and begin investing in the U.S. again (instead of allowing Cox to permit the short-sellers pillaging).
CNN, NY Times and USA today published the facts if you want to look that up. During the periods we had Democratic presidents, the stock market performed far better. CNN analysed the data from 1927 – 1999 and USA’s data was from 1901 to 2004. The NY Times data was examined from 1929 – 2001.
CNN

2% gain = Republicans
11% gain = Democrats

6.9% gain = Republicans
13.3% gain = Democrats

Just a reminder of the primary election in New Hampshire. The polls had Obama ahead but the media and pollsters had misjudged. Just remember that the media has been very biased in this election but the one thing they can’t do is vote for us. They can lean the election in the direction they want but that is as far as they can go. When it comes time to vote, that is our own private and personal choice and we in this country think for ourselves. Obama’s lead may not be as great as the polls are saying. There may be a surprise tomorrow night that is totally unexpected.

McCain will grow the wealth? Really!? How many of us are wealthy after 8 years of Republican policy? Feel rich yet? How much is left for any of us?

Posted by: davel54 | November 3, 2008, 8:54 pm 8:54 pm

Who knows how this election will go, some polls show obama up by 10 or more points some show them tied. I think we may see a very tight race if not tight then that will mean that McCain took it as Regan did in a landslide, I don’t think that will happen. I don’t think we will know who really won for a few days since some states my have to do a recount. The state I live in will not have to do a recount it will go McCain by 60 to 80%, but now we have to place our furture in the hands of places like San Franc-sicko that scare the hell out of me since the moral fiber of that city left many years ago and became a far left freak impound.

Posted by: Robert | November 3, 2008, 8:56 pm 8:56 pm

If the polls are wrong? Then America we have a problem. This country is very diverse with all races and colors. Now at the McCain rally you only see the color white and maybe some spec of other colors. Now at the Obama rallies you see all races and colors in an attendance. Now if McCain win can we honestly say that all those other races combined with the white race do not represent the majority of the voting public. If McCain win it just something wrong with that picture.

Posted by: attacked tired | November 3, 2008, 8:57 pm 8:57 pm

davel54- I for one have had a very good 8 years don’t expect that to happen in the next 8 no matter who gets in. If McCAin gets in my business will maintain about the same or increase a little. If obama gets in then I will have to layoff a few people may all of them and bring the family in to do most of the work. To bad for the people they been with me for years but nothing you can do when the goverment starts taking your money you use to pay employees.

Posted by: Robert | November 3, 2008, 8:59 pm 8:59 pm

I’ll keep my fingers crossed that this election is an honest one! I hope we have lots of folks at the election centers with cameras documenting all infractions. America can not endure another questionable election. Peace to all and see you at the polls. May the best man win. Go Obama!!!!

You seriuous, the reason Obama want the middle class to get a break is so it would create more wealth.
But I guess its pointless to explain as most smart people vote for Obama.

Posted by: Matt | November 3, 2008, 9:03 pm 9:03 pm

If the Republicans can figure out a way to steal this election like they did in 2000, they will. And if Obama loses McCain will not be able to govern even if he does win legit. THe people won’t trust him and the Democrats will tie him up. They will also being numerous investigations into the Bush administration. So George you had better hope McCain does not win.

Posted by: nick ames | November 3, 2008, 9:03 pm 9:03 pm

attacked tired – You got to ask youself a few question about the obama’s rallys. Is it because he is having a rock singer before are after as he did in Germany and Denver or are they really there for him. I really question that with what I have read. McCain rallys, I don’t think I have seen more than one or two on the news, they don’t report stuff like that about McCain, it might help him and they don’t want that. I will vote for McCain to protect the country. You vote who you think is best. The country will be split for the next 4 years if it is obama since most of us can not trust him at all and will not be able to turn our back on him at all.

The early “Dewey” poll was also based on a biased sample. This was before we realize that polls are only accurate if EVERYONE has an equal opportunity for inclusion. That poll was based on subscribers to a magazine (I believe). Hardly close to representative (it was conservative leaning).
POTENTIAL distortions in Todays polls:
1) many don’t poll cell-phone users, some information says they slightly prefer Obama
2) The “Likely” voter calculus. Republicans are typically more likely to vote than Dems – that’s why Registered/adult based polls widely favor Obama. This is how we get house effects. This especially the case for black turnout estimates. This year will be different. I strongly doubt young people will have greater turnout than they usually do (they are under-represented).
3) The weighting of party identification. If a pollster uses party id figures from 2004 to weight repondents, this will likely result in a poll that underrepresents Obama supporters.
4) Then there’s the “bradley” effect. If it exists, it helps McCain a bit.

I am sure the media is happy with their gratis campaign for Obama. The bastards at ABC are shameless. You hide the facts and even today you hide the coal industry destruction plan of Obama while he went and promised those poor folks the moon.

Posted by: Bill | November 3, 2008, 9:04 pm 9:04 pm

aware2u- “redistributing the wealth” is a McCainism used to convince people that it is wrong to raise taxes on the wealthiest people and give tax breaks to the middle class. How he managed to convince working class people that is a bad thing to do, is beyond me. Of course he doesn’t want the wealthy to be taxed more because HE is incredibly wealthy. And why would any middle class person think that getting a tax break is a bad thing and “socialist” or “redistributing”??? Bush gave the tax cuts to the wealthiest few and McCain went along with it. Obama wants to repeal those tax cuts and give the middle class a break. Did you think it was “socialism” to give those tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans and give the middle class nada? I do not get you or people like you. You don’t make any sense at all. Of course, if you are one of those lucky few that is incredibly wealthy, then I get where you are coming from. But there are many wealthy people (Warren Buffet being one of them) that says he is willing to pay more taxes because that is fair and he should do his share to help the American economy by doing so. We all pay taxes, but the middle class carries an inordinate amount of the burden and Barack Obama thinks that is unfair. He wants to “spread the tax burden” equally. That is not “socialism” or “redistributing” or any of the other silly buzz words that McCain uses. It is just FAIR. TRUTH, pass it on.

As a former Hillary supporter & a first time voter I can tell you we are voting for McCain in large numbers, the polls don’t want to show that. We feel Hillary was mistreated during the primaries and we did want to see her the first female President or VP. We’ll settle for McCain Pres and Plain for VP because we want to see a woman in one of those positions.

Get off your butts and do some research to find out the truth. Make a list of what is really important to you then see where each candidate stands on the issues. For a long time I thought I was a Democrat because my mother was a Democrat but I found out i leaned the other way. Stop drinking the kool aid and get informed!

What is the point of Stephanopoulos writing this speculative article? He cites 1948 which was 60 years ago… when this country still supported segregation … a totally different electorate. Plus the technology of polling is better and better. He seems to be grabbing a vague scenario and running with it in a sort of blathering way. Typical of the level of

The polls are wrong. There is a higher hang up rate of 80% when it’s usually 50%. This is likely McCain supporters hanging up because they’re fed up with the biased media and print outlets.

This, I know there are ALOT of exceptions and the parties are changing but this is what it SHOULD be and how it basically is at its core (in early politics, the dem-like parties were the opposite of what the dems are now, vice versa for the republicans):
Dems are the party of the “little guy,” big on economic intervention (higher minimum wage, affirmative action) but small on social intervention (abortion, legalizing drugs). They, more often than not, dislike war spending.
Reps are the party of the wealthy; big on social intervention (except, strangely, on gun rights), small on economic intervention (lower taxes, deregulation) They, more often than not, like war spending. No, they are NOT the party of SMALL spending ever since Reagan, both spend about equally.
I really don’t understand why the Reps are supported by such low-income people when they clearly don’t have their best interests at mind, well also the fact that lower-educated people support the reps isn’t suprising…
Infact, how much money one makes isn’t really that big of a factor in party preference as much as it should. What REALLY divides people is lifestyle. Those in rural America are MUCH more likely to be conservative than urban america. And yes, women are more for Dems, men for Reps, minorities for dems, and whites for reps, those are given.

Forty percent of Obama’s vote will come from people who do not pay any taxes thus have little at stake except the free money he is promising. Wonder why they vote that way!

If Obama wins a majority of US Citizens registered to vote wanted him to win based on the issues. Again that is fair and there isn’t anything wrong with that picture. McCain has only a spec of other races at his rallys because the other races support Obama. They like where Obama stands on the issues more than McCain. This doesn’t have anything to do with race.

I see that aware2u is typical of most Republicans. Tell a lie enough times, and it becomes true.
Even Alan Greenspan has stated that the disparity between the wealthy and the have-nots is too great in this country. The bottom 40% of the population only owned 0.2% of the wealth. The bottom 80% of the population only owns about 15% of the wealth. When the top 20% owns 85% of the wealth, why shouldn’t they bear the burden of the highest taxes?
The majority of the Republican party, and the pious right, are being hoodwinked by the rich to help maintain the status quo.

Hey Bill if you think it is right to take money from people who worked hard for it and give it to the low life, lazy bums that can work but don’t want to so they get on welfare, then you you are crazy! Also you need to check your facts. The middle class doesn’t have the burden of paying the most taxes. The wealthiest 1% actually do and if they want to pay more good for them. But Obama’s team keeps lowering the amount they consider wealthy. The last I heard it was 120K. Pretty soon it’s going to be 50K. Also don’t know where you have been but I am middle class and I got a tax cut.

dzwjno — Other races support Obama because he is a black man. This came straight from the mouth of a political analyst on BET. They may not agree with Obama or his policies, -plain and simple he is black so they will vote for him. Just like if there were a Latino running, 98% of Latinos would vote for them….Hmmm if Obama wins who will “The man” be now??? Tell Me Jessie and Mr. Sharpton.

VOTE OBAMA for President for the obvious reasons that I did – the top 5 percent of income earners make 90 percent of the money in the United States- giving the wealthy people tax breaks will not grow our economy- its been proven multiple times through various presidencies. When you tax the upper class 4 % more (not redistribute wealth and propose socialistic ideas as McCain supporters would say), it grows the economy because the middle class gets more money and they have to spend the money they receive from these tax breaks and pay for housing, food, and clothing.
No one wants and old man who is really “a heartbeat away” becoming president, with the most inexperienced vice presidential candidate in history backing up the oldest presidential candidate in history- that does not sound too good- I am just as prepared to be VP as palin-
REMEMBER – VOTE OBAMA TOMORROW FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

There will be no one left to protect you
By Alan Caruba (11/02/08)
Barack Obama wants to institute a Civilian National Security Force, a vast militia not unlike Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a personal army. He knows he would need such a force to protect him and to enforce his will on Americans.
Americans will have not seen such arbitrary power used against them since the days of the Civil War when Lincoln
put the Constitution in the bottom drawer of his desk and set about arresting anyone who opposed his policies to enforce the Union on southern States seeking secession. The moral issue was slavery. The Constitutional issue was states rights.
If you want to see another civil war, just wait for this new security force to come into being. Obama would need it because the concept of posse comitatus forbids the use of the U.S. military to enforce laws within the nation. An army of domestic followers of “the One” would fill that need, assuming that all other law enforcement agencies failed to resist such a horrendous plan.
There is absolutely NO need for a homeland security force. We have the Federal Bureau of Investigation that has a long and distinguished history of obedience to the U.S. Constitution and respect for the rule of law. We have a huge law enforcement community that is likewise pledged to the rule of law. We have a Central Intelligence Agency and a National Security Agency, both defending against foreign enemies. Nothing Obama proposes is more dangerous to the comity of the nation than a National Civilian Security Force.
A friend recently suggested that the KKK is probably hoping Obama will win because they anticipate their numbers will gain in response. That would be unfortunate, but not surprising. These days the KKK is, if you visit their website, are all about “white, Christian Americans.” They still hate Blacks and Jews, and one supposes everyone who is not a white Christian by their definition.
What this ignores is that America was founded by Christians for the free practice of Protestantism. Even the Declaration of Independence makes reference to the “laws of Nature and of Nature’s God…” While the Bill of Rights forbids the “establishment” of a state religion, it does not forbid the practice of religion, any religion. America has been mostly free of overt religious bigotry, despite attacks on the early Mormons, a rampant distrust of Catholics, and evidence of anti-Semitism that virtually disappeared after the Holocaust in the last century.
So the question is not who the KKK is voting for, but what the unwitting and ignorant followers of Obama voting for? And do they know what awaits them in an Obama administration backed up by a Congress in the total control of the Democrat Party? I doubt that most do.
Rev. Martin Niemoeller, a German Lutheran pastor who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938 wrote, “In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me and by that time there was no one left to speak for me.”
The liberties that thousands of Americans have fought and died for hang in the balance.
All the conditions are in place for a huge Democrat blowout this election. That much power concentrated in a single political party is not a good thing. It is, in so many ways, not democratic and not American.

Bill, I read it, it’s still wrong. If you line up the platforms, they are essentially different by 12% on the cap and trade system. If you actually listened to the interview of Obama, it would be clear he was talking about a hypothetical scenario where there was NO CLEAN COAL. So go do that. I’m not taking someone’s filtered opinion about it. I don’t believe every second hand story I read on the internet. Get the primary docs.

Obama’s Plan to Destroy America
by Roxanna Moser (11/3/08)
Obama isn’t even waiting to get elected to put his plan to destroy America into action. Training ACORN was his first step. It is this organization that is committing the voter registration fraud we are seeing throughout this nation. What better way to get in power, and stay there, than rigging the electoral system in your favor.
Obama claims that he is running his campaign. Therefore, he is
responsible for the intentional disabling of all of the security
protocols on his campaign website in order to take any amount of
money from any person whomsoever, real or fictional, American or not.
What better way to get yourself elected than to flood the airwaves
with your message, thereby placing your opponent, who is following
the rules, at a financial disadvantage.
Obama has said that the first thing he’ll do once in office is sign
the Freedom of Choice Act, which would make any type of abortion, at
any time during the pregnancy, legal. And, there will be no parental
notification. What better way to impoverish the nation than to kill
off the future generations so necessary for the payment of
entitlements.
Obama doesn’t like the 2nd Amendment. He’s not real fond of the 1st
Amendment. In fact, he’s planning on drastically limiting all of our
freedoms. Why else would he want a “Civilian National Security Force
that is just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded” as the
military. Russia had one of those. It was called the KGB. Obama
has spent years associating with a man who believes that people
should be put in “re-education camps” and those who cannot be
re-educated must be killed. Where will America’s gulags be located?
Obama would reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine, which would destroy
conservative talk radio. Would he stop there? Not likely. What
better way to keep the masses in the dark than to take away their
avenues of information.
Obama would destroy the American economy in favor of draconian
regulations in the service of the hucksters of anthropogenic global
warming.
He has said that he “would put a cap-and-trade system in place
that is as aggressive, if not more aggressive, than anybody else’s
out there”.
He “was the first to call for a 100% auction on the
cap-and-trade system, which means that every unit of carbon or
greenhouse gases emitted would be charged to the polluter. That will
create a market in which whatever technologies are out there that are
being presented, whatever power plants that are being built, that
they would have to meet the rigors of that market and the ratcheted
down caps that are being placed, imposed every year. So, if somebody
wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it
will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for
all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted”.
Under his “plan of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates
would necessarily skyrocket”.
Regardless of what he says about coal being good or bad, he’s
“capping greenhouse gases. Coal-powered plants, natural gas plants,
you name it. Whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit
their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money
on to consumers”.
Human beings emit carbon. In fact, every oxygen-breathing animal on
the plant emits carbon. In fact, this carbon dioxide is necessary to
the survival of the planet. Will we have to pay a tax for the simple
act of inhaling and exhaling?
By the way, Obama thinks that agriculture is a huge contributor to
greenhouse gases. What will farmers be forced to do? How much will
that raise the cost of the food we eat?
Obama has plans to destroy our military.
He “will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending”.
He “will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.”
He “will not weaponize space”.
He “will slow our development of future combat systems”.
He “will set a goal for a world without nuclear weapons”. To
seek that goal, he “will not develop nuclear weapons”.
He “will seek a global ban on the production of fissile
material”.
He “will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off
hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenal”.
In short, he will leave us vulnerable to anyone and everyone who
wants to attack us.
Obama’s going to raise taxes. Make no mistake about that. In just
two short weeks, his promise of a $250,000 threshold has been lowered
to $120,000. Imagine what it’s going to be by January 21, 2009.
Under Obama, everything will go up except our wages, our savings, and
our standard of living.
And, don’t forget, Obama said that he plans on being around for the
next “8 to 10 years”. So, I guess the 22nd Amendment is gone as
well. If he gets everything he says he wants, Obama’s plans would
destroy America’s economy, its military, and its people.
As I said at the beginning, he has a plan to destroy America.

The sad truth is this:
I would have voted for McCain 8 years ago. Now, where is he? And had he not selected Sarah Palin in this election, I might have considered his candidacy with some degree of seriousness.
Now, this former Hillary supporter is 100% behind Obama. Taxing those who can afford to pay more is what we do already. Obama just wants to ENFORCE the already graduated tax code and put some teeth in it. Doing this so that middle class Americans pay fewer taxes is exactly what will jump start the economy.
Furthermore, all of you half educated morons who support McCain are IN THE TAX BRACKET THAT WILL PAY FEWER TAXES under Obama’s plan. Read the information that is available to you, Nascar fans! Stop cutting off your proverbial noses to spite your faces!

how can you say that it fair for the top 5% of Americans to pay more taxes when they already pay 99% of the taxes? And as for the polls, well we all know who is doing the polling and how they are going to lean… towards Obama.

Obama is telling people what they want to hear. That’s why he has to use teleprompters because he can’t keep the lies straight.
Obama is trying to buy votes by promising majority of Americans lower taxes or welfare. But if you look at his actions he voted for tax increase starting with wages at $42,000.
So many lies, too little time.
As you vote just remember that Actions speak louder than Words.

Posted by: DeadHeat | November 3, 2008, 9:42 pm 9:42 pm

The major screw up with the Chicago Tribune newspaper was that they were trying a new
approach in poll taking, by using the new
craze called the telephone. Back then, only the
well to do had access to a majority of these novel communicators. The “Average Joe” either couldn’t afford it or had one, but was working their 14 hr shift when the poll was taken, hence the omission of the majority.
They were also gambling with the headlines. No other paper carried the headline this early and it was their own selfish greed that persuaded them to place the newspapers out earlier than the competitors. Are they still in business?

Posted by: spacerook1 | November 3, 2008, 9:44 pm 9:44 pm

There can and will be an upset. obama supporters will be upset, but it is because the media bias has led them to believe that he was going to win. When our votes are cast tomorrow,and john McCain becomes our next president, they will be weeping, and George will be dining on crow.

Posted by: ellsbells930 | November 3, 2008, 9:46 pm 9:46 pm

Raising taxes on the wealthy is the most ignorant thing our next president could possibly do. Maybe it’s because he has never run a business or worked in the private sector, but Obama fails to realize that while our economy is in the dumps, his anti-business positions threaten to make it that much worse.
Our government is not Robin Hood and redistributing the wealth is un-American, as is raising taxes. Don’t forget that our country was founded on a tax rebellion as you slog to the polls to cast your ballot.

Posted by: CORepublican | November 3, 2008, 9:46 pm 9:46 pm

McCain is no Bush. He doesn’t even like Bush.
Don’t forget about how poorly Bush treated McCain in the 2000 election when he spread the rumors about McCain daughter.
McCain is an honest man. He is the one we need to clean up our government.
Obama on the other hand will bring about a lot of change. Let the bribes and skimming begin (it’s the Chicago Way)!!
I have great faith in the American people.

Give me a break.
Alan Caruba) you have to be a Republican as being a fear monger seems to come with the territory.
The last eight years are enough to convince any thinking person that enough (is enough)and that a REAL change is needed.
The US has lost it’s way and needs to put it’s people first once again and not just the interests of the large corporates that are the basis of Republican support.
This other rubbish you have taken out of context and edited for your own purposes is not enough to convince the intelligent amoung us.
Obama is the man of the people.

I am so sick and tired of the term “Redistribution of Wealth” that is what government is all about – they collect money from individuals and businesses and they redistribute the money to all government sponsored programs – this includes providing farmers with money in return for not planting their fields – do the farmers pay tax on the government donation? The fact is that there are many, many working poor in this country who in the end pay no tax and in fact get money back from the earned income tax credit – are these the people who the republicans claim pay no tax? – these are the people who need every tax break possible – PS – most of the working poor work for wages that the republicans think is over payment – they continue to vote against any increase in the minimum wage go obama!!!!

Posted by: tmac | November 3, 2008, 9:48 pm 9:48 pm

George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years.
The first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.
19 a gallon;
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high–14,000 +
5) American’s were buying new cars, taking cruises, vacations overseas, living large!…
But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted in a Democratic Congress and yes–we got ‘CHANGE’ all right.
In the PAST YEAR:
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted ;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!;
3) Unemployment is up to 5.
5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS and prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) as I write, THE DOW is probing another low~~
$2.
5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YES, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE…AND WE SURE GOT IT! ….
REMEMBER THE PRESIDENT HAS NO CONTROL OVER ANY OF THESE ISSUES, ONLY CONGRESS.
AND WHAT HAS CONGRESS DONE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GOING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!!
JUST HOW MUCH MORE ‘CHANGE’ DO YOU THINK YOU CAN STAND?

I know folks here in NM who have already voted for Obama, and they are messing with the Republican automated polling calls by responding that they are going to vote for McCain. Many of us are just so fed up with these intrusive calls. I get 3 calls daily, and have for the past month, from the Republicans. Some of the calls have been horrendous. Never in history has any presidential candidate spoken so disrespectfully of his opponent the way John McCain has. I used to respect McCain highly, but not any more.

A side note: Why is it that Obama supporters are so quick to dismiss Republicans as uneducated or backwards? I received my undergraduate degree from an Ivy League institution and am currently working on a dual MBA/JD. I assure you that I, myself, as well as the vast majority of my Republican friends, are not only more educated and more intelligent than the vast majority of Obama’s supporters, but we’re also vastly more open minded and less obnoxious.

Virginia and Nevada are really close and with undecideds Mccain can win these two states. The toss up states are close and again with the undecideds he can win these.
So lookin at total electoral votes it will end up as Mccain – 266 to Obama’s – 272.
I do not think that Mccain will win Pensylvania so his only hope of winning the presidency is to win Colorado — and ‘my friends’, he is there tonight — I think the lights just came on; only hope it’s too late…

OK, this is a ridiculous column, intended to instill fear and disbelief into those who read it. The only way the Republicans can win at this point is if they outright steal it — which is the important thing that has happened before that George should be talking about — and if that happens…well, it won’t just be political shock. It will be social, institutional, and constitutional shock, and it will need to addressed appropriately. God Bless America.

Posted by: Jordan Gruber | November 3, 2008, 9:58 pm 9:58 pm

The polls are not wrong. Polling has been refined to a fine art using very scientific methods and continuously improved over many elections since 60 years ago.
If the election result doesn’t reflect the polls with their wide margin spread the American people will immediately know that this election was stolen somehow and I think major riots would erupt across the country as a result.

Posted by: JMM | November 3, 2008, 10:04 pm 10:04 pm

UnitedStates1776′s comment about polling is nothing short of ignorant. While polling has been refined, the entire field is a joke and anyone with more than a twelfth (that’s 12th for you Obama supporters) grade education knows that statistics can be twisted to say whatever they want. The media has used its polls in an attempt to play king-maker in this election and the vast majority of the country hasn’t paid attention to the fact that most Republicans don’t have the time or desire to spend 30 minutes answering a telephone poll. We just vote on election day. All these Obama welfare cases have all the time in the world to answer these surveys.
Moreover (these are transition words, for those Obama voters that were unable to pass sixth grade English), the fact that on any given day over the last month, you could find one poll on, say ABC, that Obama was up 13 percentage points, while the CBS poll shows a dead heat, completely undermines the credibility of the entire profession.

Posted by: CORepublican | November 3, 2008, 10:05 pm 10:05 pm

I don’t get why the polls have to be ‘right’. The title of this article is somewhat presumptuous in thinking that the media has some type of influence through its polling…I never saw the media as being the 4th branch of Gov’t…although I’m sure George would have a different opinion. This is sort of like newspapers endorsing candidates….aren’t they supposed to just report the news in a neutral fashion? What’s this ‘endorsing’ angle?

The economy wasn’t in that bad of shape until the 2006 elections when the House and Senate became controlled by the Democrats. Imagine how bad things will get when the White House is also controlled by a very liberal democrat.
Tomorrow, if Obama wins, change will come, but I don’t know if his supporters realize the extent of change he will bring. I fear that it will be the beginning of the end of America.
Don’t forget about the Worldcoms and Enrons of the Clinton era. And while he was getting his thrills in the oval office Terorists were plotting their attack only months after his term was finally over.
No matter the outcome of this election, pray for us as a Nation, and hope the grace and mercy of God will continue to bless and protect us.
On the other hand, if McCain wins, I hope the Christian community and those in favor of traditional values will not go back into their complacent rut and assume that the foundations of our nation will be preserved as our founding fathers intended.

Libertarian347 – Interesting that you blame our current economic woes on the Democratic congress. I’ve followed the economic crisis very closely, and the consensus seems to be that many Americans living large a few years ago were living beyond their means, and the recent economic crisis has been fueled by sub-prime mortgages and investment bankers selling CDO’s. This was possible because, in it’s wisdom, our Federal government got off the regulatory bandwagon, so greed ran wild on Wall Street. Guess who has been one of the biggest cheerleaders for deregulation: McCain.
It’s too bad many Republicans have been listening to McCain about Obama. Has it occurred to you that your opinions about Obama are founded on lies by someone with a pretty huge agenda of discrediting a decent, smart, thinking, and capable man. Obama doesn’t have all these negative agendas attributed to him. Do the research yourself. Find out the truth, instead of revealing that you haven’t taken an even-handed look at both candidates to decide for yourself who is best.

If Obama loses, it will not be becuase the polls or the pollsters fail. It will be because the polls did not measure all the negative ads from McCain/Palin and the lack of regard for the truth in Palin’s stump speech which has been carried verbatim on cable news. I am in Illinois, and I have seen a lot of Rev Wright ads + other negative ads all day…… Don’t blame the polls. It is obvious that this final deluge of filth was saved for the last 24hrs, and for the people who are looking for a reason not to vote for Obama.

CORepublican: “Why is it that Obama supporters are so quick to dismiss Republicans as uneducated or backwards? … I assure you that I, myself, as well as the vast majority of my Republican friends, are not only more educated and more intelligent than the vast majority of Obama’s supporters,…”
I have some concerns if you are so well uneducated yet fail to understand the basic precepts of polling, which show Obama’s extraordinarily strong support among those with a college bachelor’s degree or higher. There is also the fact that the Republicans chose a creationist young Earther for their VP nomination and consider the climate change science consensus built up over 20 years and thousands of factual measurements and experiments a liburl scam.

It’s time for the Republicans to go. 8 years of redistributing the wealth with the final gift of $700billion is enough. I am shocked to see so many conservatives arguing that they want to pay higher taxes so the wealthy can pay less. If Paris Hilton pays less, you pay more.

I am not after who will be the next president, I am just concern about the media credibility and reputations… I’ve been always watching World News with Charles Gibson but now I am not going to watch anymore, it seems like this station is one sided. Especially George Stephanopoulos obviously biased I wonder why If George knows about Professional Ethics as a Journalist… I think you should review it again maybe George you forgot it already or you don’t really have an ethics George as a journalist… If I were you George joins Saturday Night Live I think thats best for you instead of being anchorman or journalist…

ellsbells930: “The Constitution guarantees our right to own a gun. And IF Obama wins, the first thing I am doing is joining the NRA, even though I do not currently own a gun – because it infuriates me that Obama wants to take that right (along with many others) away from us.”
Perhaps you should re-read that Constitution again. The President cannot take away any right that the Constitution guarentees.
Glad to see that in the face of Iraq, Al Quada being left free to set up camps in Pakistan, and the economy you’re clinging tight to a pointless wedge issue.

I think a more worthy measurment would not be education, but wisdom. With age and experience comes wisdom. That’s why at the Republican convention, you saw mostly Grandmothers and Grandfathers, and elder veterans of past wars.
Sometimes education doesn’t make one wise, just arogant. And it is a well known fact that the faculty of most universities are highly liberal. The more years you sit under that train of thought the more brainwashed you become.

This article is simply softening the embarrassment ABC and the other major networks will endure because their polls were incorrect. It is another way of saying, “Don’t blame us if the polls didn’t get it right.” What is so sad is the fact the mess this is going to create for the rest of the country. The polls, if found misleading and completely inaccurate, will cause some major problems for cities across the country because Obama supporters will cry foul and take to the streets. Their rabid support for a man they know very little about, yet worship as if he was some kind of messiah, will cause them to protest. ABC and others will be responsible for the mess they’ve created. And they deserve the blame for lop siding this election. If they had done their job by reporting the news and keeping the people of these United States informed, instead of hyping this man up so much, things would have turned out ok. So, when we wake up Wednesday morning and all hell has broken lose, we’ll know exactly whom to blame. McCain will win. But he will win not because you idiots think he stole the election, but because decent, intelligent, well informed, and patriotic people voted for America the dream. This Socialist bull*$%# being sold by this boy will not jive, will never jive, with an America that values personal freedoms and the pursuit of happiness. Happiness obtained only if each and everyone of us works for it. McCain will win!!!!

I wish that this wealth redistribution-talk would have “stuck” a little better (rather than become just another pathetic attempt to throw something, anything, at Obama to try to get people scared enough to vote for McCain). If so, this election would be a referendum on socialism! Imagine that — America more like the Netherlands or Sweden. I can only dream.

HERE IS ANOTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR OBAMA: IT IS A MUST READ
WASHINGTON – Americans who tuned in to the last round of John McCain and Barack Obama campaign rallies will be voting Tuesday with some false notes ringing in their ears along with the hurrahs.
McCain and running mate Sarah Palin, right down to the wire, persisted in distortions that were discredited long ago. Obama, who has been more responsive lately to being called out on his misstatements, did a rhetorical dance that avoided some of the bogus claims of the past. Even so, not all of his words bore up to scrutiny.
Altogether, facts took a beating in the campaign. McCain and Obama produced enduring myths that their running mates and supporters amplified and distorted even more. When a non-licensed plumber who owes back taxes and would get a tax cut under Obama is held out by McCain as a stand-in for average working people who should vote Republican, you know truth-telling took a back seat to myth-making.
On Monday, McCain gave a final airing to unsupported statements and half-baked truths at rallies such as one in Tampa, Fla., where he said:
_”My friends, if I’m elected president, I won’t spend nearly a trillion dollars more of your money. Sen. Obama will.”
THE FACTS: McCain’s health care plan alone is estimated to cost $1.3 trillion over 10 years by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, which also estimates that McCain’s tax cuts and spending programs would drive up the national debt by $5 trillion in a decade.
_”We’re not going spend $750 billion of your money just bailing out the Wall Street banker and broker who got us into this mess. Sen. Obama will. I’m going to make sure we take care of the working people who were devastated by the excesses of Wall Street and Washington.”
THE FACTS: McCain supported the financial bailout, even suspending his campaign to work for passage of the failed $700 billion version that was geared even less toward families than the version that passed — also with his vote. Obama backed the bailout, too. Both added more relief for families in their own platforms.
_”We’re going stop sending $700 billion to buy oil from countries that don’t like us very much.”
THE FACTS: A wildly inflated figure that McCain kept using after it was refuted.
_Palin told two tall tales almost in the same breath in her final rallies. In Jefferson City, Mo., she declared about Obama: “He voted 94 times for higher taxes, even on hardworking, middle-class Americans making just $42,000 a year.”
THE FACTS: This highly misleading if not fictional count includes times when Obama voted to cut taxes for the middle class — that’s cut, not raise — while increasing them on the rich. An analysis by FactCheck.org found that 23 of the votes were for measures that would have produced no tax increase at all, seven were for measures that would have lowered taxes for many, 11 would have increased taxes on only those making more than $1 million a year. Her count also includes repetitive votes for the same measure.
Palin’s claim that Obama voted for higher taxes on workers making as little as $42,000 is also off the mark. Obama voted for a nonbinding budget resolution that assumed certain Bush tax cuts would expire on schedule. Translated into tax law, that could mean $15 more in taxes for an individual making $42,000, says FactCheck.org. But there has been no move to put such higher rates into law. In any event, Obama proposes tax cuts for most people earning less than $200,000 and no increases for those taxpayers.
Obama’s remarks at a rally in Jacksonville, Fla., also twisted some facts and omitted important details:
_”If you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes will not increase one single dime. Not your income tax. Not your payroll tax. Not your capital gains tax. ”
THE FACTS: Not quite. Individual taxpayers making over $200,000 would see tax increases under his plan, along with those who report joint income over $250,000.
• “I’m going to go through the federal budget line by line, ending programs we don’t need. ”
THE FACTS: Obama has been unable or unwilling to identify programs he would cut. Instead, he offers this pain-free prescription. Obama did identify a specific savings early on, proposing to delay certain NASA missions to help pay for his education plan. Then he reversed himself. NASA spending is important to Florida, a state important to him Tuesday. He’d save billions by withdrawing troops from Iraq but plans to augment forces in Afghanistan.
_”He’s been a sidekick to George W. Bush, voting for the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy that he once said were irresponsible.” “This out-of-touch, on-your-own economic philosophy that says you should give $700,000 tax cuts to the average Fortune 500 CEO, $300 billion to the same Wall Street banks that got us into this mess. A philosophy that says we shouldn’t give a penny of relief to more than 100 million middle-class Americans.”
THE FACTS: Obama also supported bailing out institutions “that got us into this mess.” The Bush-McCain “philosophy” he’s criticizing has not denied “a penny of relief” to middle-income Americans. Bush’s first-term tax cuts were across the board, of most dollar value to the wealthy but spread among all taxed incomes, and Obama plans to continue them for all but the richest when the cuts are due to expire. Moreover, the government sent tax-rebate checks this year to all taxpayers except the wealthy and those earning less than $3,000.
_”If you already have health insurance, the only thing that will change under my plan is that we’re going to lower your premiums. ”
THE FACTS: At least in these remarks, Obama hewed closer to reality by leaving out one of the most notoriously unsupported figures in his campaign-long pitch — that his plan will lower family health care costs by $2,500. His plan does not lower premiums by a set amount but rather envisions savings being passed on to the consumer over time as efficiencies from information technology and preventive care are realized.
Such last-minute claims capped a campaign in which the truth was often stretched to the breaking point.
Months ago, Obama saddled McCain with a bum rap when he accused the Republican of wanting a 100-year war in Iraq back in the spring. Finally he relented and said McCain sees U.S. troops being in Iraq for 100 years. That’s closer to right — as a peacekeeping force like the one in South Korea. But McCain might be long associated with war without end.
Obama accused McCain of wanting to privatize Social Security, which he doesn’t. Now he accuses McCain of wanting to privatize “part” of Social Security, which he does, as one option that younger workers could choose.
For his part, McCain blithely carried on with a variety of discredited claims, abetted by a running mate whose exuberance was not at all dimmed by contrary evidence.
Some of the classics:
HEALTH CARE HORRORS
It only took McCain and Palin a few words to bend Obama’s health care plan out of recognition.
McCain told supporters he “won’t fine small businesses and families with children, as Sen. Obama proposes, to force them into a new, huge, government-run health care program, while I keep the cost of the fine a secret until I hit you with it.”
Palin talks about Obama’s “universal government-run program” and adds: “I don’t think it’s going to be real pleasing for Americans to consider health care being taken over by the Feds.”
Obama’s plan doesn’t fine small businesses. It doesn’t force families with children, or anyone, into government-run health care. And the Feds wouldn’t be taking over the system.
McCain’s health plan was distorted, in turn, by Obama.
“Your health care benefits will get taxed for the first time in history,” Obama warned voters in attacking it. He often leads voters to think that’s the full story. Hardly.
McCain, in exchange for proposing to tax the value of health benefits provided by employers, would offer a tax credit to help people buy insurance. That tax benefit — $5,000 for a family — gives people much more than the new taxation takes away.
___
THAT BRIDGE
When Palin ran for governor, she indicated her support for a proposal to build a nearly $400 million bridge from Ketchikan, Alaska, to an island with 50 residents and an airport. She was, at times, wishy-washy about it.
But that doesn’t make for a compelling line against government waste on the stump.
So her stance became: “I told the Congress ‘thanks, but no thanks’ for that Bridge to Nowhere.” And a campaign ad declared she “stopped the Bridge to Nowhere.”
Actually, during her campaign for governor, she vowed to defend Southeast Alaska “when proposals are on the table like the bridge, and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that’s so negative.” At the time, the chief “spinmeister” against the project was McCain.
As governor, she abandoned the bridge after Washington pulled the money from it, letting the federal dollars be used for other projects in the state.
In September, her transportation department completed a $25 million gravel road to nowhere. Officials went ahead with the road, which would have led to the bridge, even though it has no purpose other than for foot races, hunting vehicles and possible future development.
___
GUILT BY ASSOCIATION
William Ayers, a University of Illinois education professor and former member of the radical Weather Underground, was front and center in Republican claims that Obama was “palling around with terrorists,” as Palin put it. Ayers had a meet-the-candidate event in his home for Obama early in the Democrat’s political career. The two served on the board of the Woods Fund. And they live in the same Chicago neighborhood.
McCain and Palin stretched the extent of that relationship to link Obama with shadowy figures.
Beyond that, they falsely implied that Ayers used the occasion of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to wish even greater harm.
“We don’t care about an old washed-up terrorist and his wife, who still, at least on Sept. 11, 2001, said he still wanted to bomb more,” McCain told a rally.
This distortion originated in Hillary Rodham Clinton’s play book during the primaries, when she criticized Obama for the same relationship.
Ayers, Clinton said, made comments “which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn’t done more.”
By coincidence, The New York Times published a story on the day of the attacks about Ayers and what he called his fictionalized memoirs. The story was based on an interview he had done earlier, in Chicago, in which he declared, “I don’t regret setting bombs,” and “I feel we didn’t do enough,” even while seeming to dissociate himself coyly from the group’s most destructive acts.
Late in the campaign, McCain and Palin criticized Obama for attending a 2003 party for Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian-American professor and critic of Israel. But McCain is also linked Khalidi. The professor was a founder of the Center for Palestine Research and Studies, which received $448,000 from an organization McCain chairs.

So this is not mean spirited? When someone says the only way McCain wins is if the Republicans steal the election, this is not dishonest and lacking of class? I would say both sides of the aisle can claim hate-filled speech. Please feel free to only look at your own words to know that the Republicans do not hold the monopoly on hate-filled speech.

it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if it’s rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost

Dewey Defeats Truman or Obama Defeats McCain? We hope your wrong, as was “Dewey Defeats Truman” Chicago Daily Tribune, November 3, 1948!
My Friend,
From the time I entered the Naval Academy at age seventeen I have been privileged and honored to serve my country.
Throughout my years of service, I’ve been faced with challenges where I could have taken the easy way out and given up. But I’m an American and I never give up. Instead, I choose to show courage and stand up and fight for the country I love. Today, I am asking you to stand with me and to fight for our country’s future.
Our country faces enormous challenges and our next president must be ready to lead on day one. My lifetime of experience has prepared me to lead our great nation. I’m prepared to bring solutions to our economic challenges, bring our troops home in victory and improve our nation’s healthcare system.
Time and time again, my country has saved my life and I owe her more than she has ever owed me. I have chosen to show my gratitude through a life of service to our country and tomorrow, you will have a choice before you.
I humbly ask you to make the choice that will allow me to serve my country a little while longer by casting your vote to elect me as your next President of the United States.
Finally, I ask that you never forget that much has been sacrificed to protect our right to vote. We must never forget those Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice, and with their lives, have protected our freedom. It is my great hope that you will exercise your right to vote as an American tomorrow.
I thank you for your kind support, your dedication to our cause, and most importantly I thank you for your vote.
With sincere appreciation,
John McCain

Pretty obvious the last 8 years have been a colossal disaster. Hard to imagine that anyone on the planet could have done any worse a job in destroying the country.

All of you that are worried about who is going to give you the biggest tax cut must have slept through the last 8 years. Eventually we have to start paying back the debts. Maybe if Americans did not have the mentality that everything could be bought on credit then we would have a $800 billion bailout for people who bought houses they couldn’t afford and a $10 trillion national debt. Start paying cash people, don’t buy stuff you can’t afford.

Too late to tell the truth now George. You have been discredited. You and your left-wing goons in the pro-Obama liberal elite media have been feeding us lies from day one.
Too late for you to salvage any respectability now.

Barack Obamma is a charasmatic guy who is appealing to a populous of the US that is lazy and desirous of being entitled to free money and benefits. This is just the have nots getting a african radical smooth talker to take from hard working high earning group and give it to deadbeats that aren’t smart enough or ambitious enough to work and earn for themselves.

Posted by: Vend | November 3, 2008, 11:04 pm 11:04 pm

Now, cmon. I told you I wanted to tell you the truth to the pollster and let them know that I was voting for McCain. But the questions were so distorted, and they were working so hard for me to say I was voting for Obama, that I gave them what they wanted.
“Are you a registered Rep, Dem or Indep?” I answered Independent.
“Do you believe that women who are raped should not be allowed to have an abortion?” I answered no.
Then another question about guns that I can’t exactly remember to quote.
Then another crazy question.
Then they assigned a candidate to me instead of asking. They just said I must be voting for Obama. So I agreed.

Those racists blacks are going to be in for a surprise if Obama loses. I hear they have threatened to riot when that happens. Shame on these fools.
Learn to accept defeat graciously and stop being so racists.

The pollsters asked me if I was against a black man being President. When I said no, he said I must be voting for Obama then.
I don’t like Obama because he is a socialist who wants to spread the wealth.

McCain is growin the wealth.
Yeah. Well yesderday I went an shot a moose. Then I went an got an offshore oil rig. Then I went an move dose crazy Native Alaskans outta their tribal homelands so I coulda get more money and oil – heck dey don’t need no caribous or national protected lands. Nah.
Now I’m happy as a clam. George W. Bush has made me so rich. Now I’ma happy dat McCain is going to grow my wealth.

How many of you sheeple work for the Obama campaign? I love how you are already making excuses for when Obama loses. You all so valiently defended the point that voter registration fraud is not voter fraud and it will not be a problem, so if Obama loses, he loses. Stop making excuses already, that’s all you people have is excuses, it’s always someone elses fault, you expect a trophy regardless of what you do or don’t do.

Body: so this is a story from a friend. it actually happened to her.
Screw obama and his campaign.
-Meredith
I got a phone call from someone working for the Obama campaign…
The conversation….
Campaign caller: Hello, am I speaking to Brittney?
Me: Yes it is.
Campaign caller:Hello, Brittney, this this is Hillary and I’m working ofr the Obama campaign, and we mere calling to see if we can count on your vote for Obama
Me: No, I’m sorry, you cannot, thank’s anyway.
Campaign caller: Oh… Well, may I ask who you are voting for?
Me: Yeah, I’m voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Campaign caller: Oh… Can I convince you otherwise?
Me: Haha, no, I’m sorry. I’m 100% sure not going to vote for Obama, I’m sorry. It’s funny that you called though, we were JUST talking politics.
Campaign caller:Well, may I join in? Just put me on speaker.
Me: No thanks, I’m actually at a hockey game. It’s pretty loud. And you can’t convince me to vote for Obama. Ever. Sorry.
Campaign caller: Ugh! Well, F*** you!?
I was like, in shock, so I just hung up.
So my cell phone rang again, but it was on silent and didn’t hear it.
But I had a voice mail which said
Hi, ma’am, sorry.
But F*** you and John McCain!..
HAHAH!
Yah… That’s classy. Very classy.

Hank, we’ll see who has the last laugh. And for your information, I’m a registered Democrat who happens not to have drunk the kool aid. I’m a conservative moderate Democrat voting for a Republican who shares his values and ideology with me. It is unfortunate because I was willing to give Hillary a chance. I would have swallowed her change a bit better because it would have been gradual change. This boy is going to tilt the pinball machine (United States of America). The change he’s proposing is a bit to much and to fast. I am willing to bet that regardless of what you mindless Obama idiots think (as if you guys had brains to think for yourselves), McCain wins and you all go ballistic. Maybe instead of accepting handouts you should ask your messiah to donate money from his campaign to a good cause, getting lobotomies for each and every single one of your kind. Oh, I forget, he’s going to pay for it anyway because it is all part of his socialist agenda to re-program you guys.

I have to tell you that it is a sad day in America that the National Inquirer is more truthful than the mainstream media has been. What a shame that our news has really let the public down.

They are hopeless, hopeless, hopeless. Arguing with them or talking to them rationally or trying to appeal to their missing sense of decency is fruitless. Don’t even try.

McCain Palin represent the bigoted, prejudiced morons who are too stupid to know that the Republican party works for the super rich, and screws the their very own base. These redneck, gun toting idiots are the only reason Republicans ever get into office; because there aren’t enough super rich to elect them. We need to eradicate the gun toting morons from the planet, then maybe, the rest of the intelligent folks can elect people that will bring about world peace and prosperity for all citizens.

Posted by: billthomson | November 3, 2008, 11:24 pm 11:24 pm

Everyone…. First, are the demeaning, negative comments really necessary? Behind the economy, this is a serious issue (partisanship) within the country which has been brought to the forefront of this election process. Where’s the hope? Where’s the reaching out? Or is it political rhetoric?
With respect to the polls, they are a point in time and based on who is polled. You could poll the same people and ask different questions or phrase the question differently and you would receive a different answer. Heck, look what Howard Stern did with regular Joe’s on the street of NYC. Inserted McCain policies or Sarah Palin as the VP with Obama’s name and they agreed with it. And how many people really enjoy what is essentially a telemarketing call?
Janice is right. Based on questions, your true opinion may be misinterpreted and the poll ends up being wrong. The only poll that really matters is at the end of the day tomorrow.

WND ELECTION 2008
Obama speechwriter defects to McCain
‘I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me’
Posted: November 03, 2008
2:27 pm Eastern
© 2008 WorldNetDaily
A long-time Democratic speechwriter who claims to have written for both Barack and Michelle Obama has announced she is leaving the Democratic Party and endorsing John McCain for president.
Wendy Button, a frequent columnist for the Huffington Post, where she is credited with writing speeches for Democratic Sens. John Edwards, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and John Kerry and for Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, made the announcement in a blog post called “So Long, Democrats” on The Daily Beast.
Button’s reasons for defecting from the Democrats include false campaign slogans, poor economic policy and her admission that McCain was right about the surge in Iraq; but her argument begins with outrage over the way the Obama campaign attacked two women and a common man – Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber – the kind of people she thought the Democratic Party championed.
“I can no longer justify what this party has done and can’t dismiss the treatment of women and working people as just part of the new kind of politics,” Button writes.
(Story continues below)
She says “the final straw” came when Democrats attacked and mocked Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (a.k.a. Joe the Plumber) for balking at a tax hike during difficult economic times.
“The party I believed in wouldn’t look down on working people under any circumstance,” Button writes. “And Joe the Plumber is right. This is the absolutely worst time to raise taxes on anyone: the rich, the middle class, the poor, small businesses and corporations.”
Button further railed on Democratic fiscal policy, stating, “Our approach to problems – big government solutions paid for by taxing the rich and big and smaller companies – is just as tired and out of date as trickle down economics. How about a novel approach that simply finds a sane way to stop the bleeding?
“That’s not exactly the philosophy of a Democrat,” she concludes.
Button takes exception in her article to the way her former party has mocked McCain’s age, used Palin’s wardrobe to score political points and portrayed the Republican VP candidate as stupid.
Button writes of Palin, “When someone takes on a corrupt political machine and a sitting governor, that is not done by someone with a low I.Q. or a moral core made of tissue paper.” She even praises Palin for her determination and humility, despite stating she disagrees with the governor on social issues.
“Sexism. Racism. Ageism and maybe some Socialism have all made their ugly cameos in election 2008,” Button writes. “It’s not inspiring. Perhaps this is why I found the initial mocking of Joe so offensive and I realized an old line applied: ‘I didn’t leave the Democratic Party; the Democratic Party left me.’”
Button’s article has generated hundreds of responses from The Daily Beast’s readers.
One poster writes, “How can you possibly fault the Democratic Party for undermining the goals and mocking the aspirations of women and members of the working class? Have you paid attention to anything that has happened in this country for the last 30 years?”
A more supportive response came from another reader: “Thank you Wendy for having the resolve to look at who’s who in this election and stand up for the people of America rather than just a party.”
WND contacted the Obama campaign for comment and to seek confirmation that Button worked with Obama but received no reply.

This after months of flooding the media with only the good of Obama? Face it, the media lost its credibility and unbiasedness a long time ago when it came to this election. If McCain wins, not only does it prove the polls wrong, but it also reminds our media not to count its chickens before they’ve hatched. Their job is not to brainwash the public, but to provide fair, unbiased reporting and allow Americans to form their own opinions. Personally, I have nothing against Sen. Obama, but I don’t believe he is the right choice for our country in this day and age. Nor do I believe it’s right for the press to revere him (or any candidate for that matter) as the only man worthy enough of the Presidency.

Why I Can’t Vote For Obama By Huntley Brown
Dear Friends,
A few months ago I was asked for my perspective on Obama, I sent out an email with a few points. With the election just around the corner I decided to complete my perspective. Those of you on my e-list have seen some of this before but it’s worth repeating.
First I must say whoever wins the election will have my prayer support. Obama needs to be commended for his accomplishments but I need to explain why I will not be voting for him.
Many of my friends process their identity through their blackness.
I process my identity through Christ. Being a Christian (a Christ follower) means He leads I follow. I can’t dictate the terms He does because He is the leader.
I can’t vote black because I am black, I have to vote Christian because that’s who I am. Christian first, black second. Neither should anyone from the other ethnic groups vote because of ethnicity. 200 years from now I won’t be asked if I was black or white. I will be asked if I knew Jesus and accepted Him as Lord and Savior.
In an election there are many issues to consider but when a society gets abortion, same-sex marriage, embryonic stem-cell research, human cloning to name a few, wrong economic concerns will soon not matter.
We need to follow Martin Luther King’s words, don’t judge someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I don’t know Obama so all I can go off is his voting record.
His voting record earned him the title of the most liberal senator in the US Senate in 2007.
NATIONAL JOURNAL: Obama: Most Liberal Senator in 2007 (01/31/2008)
To beat Ted Kennedy and Hilary Clinton as the most liberal senator, takes some doing.
Obama accomplished this feat in 2 short years. I wonder what would happen to America if he had four years to work with.
There is a reason Planned Parenthood gives him a 100 % rating.
There is a reason the homosexual community supports him.
There is a reason Ahmadinejad, Chavez, Castro, Hamas etc. love him.
There is a reason he said he would nominate liberal judges to the Supreme Court.
There is a reason he voted against the infanticide bill.
There is a reason he voted No on the constitutional ban of same-sex marriage.
There is a reason he voted No on banning partial birth abortion.
There is a reason he voted No on confirming Justices Roberts and Alito. These two judges are conservatives and they have since overturned partial birth abortion. The same practice Obama wanted to continue.
Let’s take a look at the practice he wanted to continue.
THE 5 STEP PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION PROCEDURE
A. Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the (live) baby’s leg with forceps.
B. The baby’s leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
C. The abortionist delivers the baby’s entire body, except for the head.
D. The abortionist jams scissors into the baby’s skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole.
E. The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child’s brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.
God help him.
There is a reason Obama opposed the parental notification law.
Think about this: you can’t give a kid an aspirin without parental notification but that same kid can have an abortion without parental notification. This is insane.
There is a reason he went to Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years.
Obama tells us he has good judgment but he sat under Jeremiah Wright teaching for 20 years. Now he is condemning Wright’s sermons. I wonder why now?
Obama said Jeremiah Wright led him to the Lord and discipled him. A disciple is one in training. Jesus told us in Matthew 28:19 – 20 ‘Go and make disciples of all nations.’ This means reproduce yourself. Teach people to think like you, walk like you, talk like you believe what you believe etc. The question I have is what did Jeremiah Wright teach him?
Would you support a White President who went to a church which has tenets that said they have a
1. Commitment to the White Community
2. Commitment to the White Family
3. Adherence to the White Work Ethic
4. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the White Community.
5. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting White Institutions
6. Pledge allegiance to all White leadership who espouse and embrace the White Value System
7. Personal commitment to embracement of the White Value System.
Would you support a President who went to a church like that?
Just change the word from white to black and you have the tenets of Obama’s former church. If President Bush was a member of a church like this, he would be called a racist. Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton would have been marching outside.
This kind of church is a racist church. Obama did not wake up after 20 years and just discovered he went to a racist church. The church can’t be about race. Jesus did not come for any particular race. He came for the whole world.
A church can’t have a value system based on race. The churches value system has to be based on biblical mandate. It does not matter if it’s a white church or a black church it’s still wrong. Anyone from either race that attends a church like this would never get my vote.
Obama’s former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is a disciple of liberal theologian James Cone, author of the 1970 book A Black Theology of Liberation. Cone once wrote: ‘Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.
Cone is the man Obama’s mentor looks up to. Does Obama believe this?
So what does all this mean for the nation?
In the past when the Lord brought someone with the beliefs of Obama to lead a nation it meant one thing – judgment.
Read 1 Samuel 8 when Israel asked for a king.
First God says in 1 Samuel 1:9 ‘Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will do.’
Then God says
1 Samuel 1:18 ‘ When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, and the LORD will not answer you in that day.’ 19 But the people refused to listen to Samuel. ‘No!’ they said. ‘We want a king over us. 20 Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.’ 21 When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the LORD. 22 The LORD answered, ‘Listen to them and give them a king.’
Here is what we know for sure.
God is not schizophrenic
He would not tell one person to vote for Obama and one to vote for McCain. As the scripture says, a city divided against itself cannot stand, so obviously many people are not hearing from God.
Maybe I am the one not hearing but I know God does not change and Obama contradicts many things I read in scripture so I doubt it.
For all my friends who are voting for Obama can you really look God in the face and say; Father based on your word, I am voting for Obama even though I know he will continue the genocidal practice of partial birth abortion. He might have to nominate three or four Supreme Court justices, and I am sure he will be nominating liberal judges who will be making laws that are against you. I also know he will continue to push for homosexual rights, even though you destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for this. I know I can look the other way because of the economy.
I could not see Jesus agreeing with many of Obama’s positions. Finally I have two questions for all my liberal friends.
Since we know someone’s value system has to be placed on the nation,
1. Whose value system should be placed on the nation?
2. Who should determine that this is the right value system for the nation?
Blessings,
Huntley Brown

A few random thoughts:
- the Bush taxcuts were legalized for ALL tax brackets, benefitting every level of taxpayer. They are expiring in 2010, thank you Democrats, which will require ALL to pay more taxes, without actually “raising” taxes.
- Obama’s tax plan description for the “rich” keeps sinking lower and lower… last count at $120,000 a year. Yes, that is more than $30,000 a year but a far different lifestyle from to making + $500,000/yr. Seems like middle class is about to be punished.
- Seems like Obama is a getting a “Robin Hood” aura. I think the point was missed. Robin Hood was celebrated because he was stealing from the rich, who were rich because the rest were being taxed to death and the king was distributing the tax dollars to his cronies. Today, the lower brackets of taxpayers are not being taxed to death. In fact, it is the handful of these rich paying the lion’s share of taxes to subsidize the bottom-end’s lifestyle (otherwise known as Obama’s legion).
-Things WERE going quite well until the Democrat Congress of 2006.
- Does it even matter that the principle characters in this economic disaster are all HUGE supporters/players of Team Obama? Does else feel that wave of nausea?
- Meanwhile, as energy policy is concerned, Obama doesn’t want to drill, doesn’t like nuclear, wants to shut down coal… are we really supposed to rely on wind and solar energy until reliable alternate energy sources are developed? Has anyone ever looked into that? I have. To outfit a home for solar energy for personal use, it costs as much as some people make in a year. Is the government going to subsidize that for nearly every household in America too? Let’s just add that to the national debt… or should the evil “rich” get their checkbooks out for that too?
add that to the more often discussed topics…

I don’t think too many Americans really give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of us , we have been taking care of most of it since WWII and they still hate us. Obama is a dangerous weak little man who will capitulate at the drop of a hat. He really is a bag of hot air and millions of people will vote for his lies and bs. If he wins it will be extremely bad for the US. His tax and spend will cause a depression like herbert hoover did, he will be weak militarily and every two bid dictator will walk over him and nancy and harry and barney and if you add biden you will have the five stooges.

Demsnever….I fully agree with you, I have listened to 4 hours of talk radio where Obama supporters were asked what I asked, “name 1 significant thing Obama has accomplished in his lifetime that makes you proud to vote for him.” Guess, what, not lying, there were ZERO answers, just a whole lot of “change” “McCain is the end of the world” “hope” “change hope.” I just want 1 thing, 1 positive, significant thing he has accomplished, anyone? And don’t tell me he has brought people together….that’s a joke.

All Obama supporters, do you really want to give any politicians regardless parties unchecked powers to control and change anything they want???
Think harder before you cast your freedom away and assuming Obama-pelosi-Reid will give you a few hundred Dollars. Absolute power corrupts people.
They can bring down to any number they want with Obama-Pelosi-Reid control US.
1. Barney Franks already promised to raise tax across the board. Hold on your wallet.
2. Obama said that he would allow Bush’s tax cut to expire, another word for tax increase. Family making $25000 will pay $700 more, People make $50000 will pay $2500 more, Those make $75000 will pay $3000 more.
3. You pay more on things you buy, because business pass tax increase to you by raising prices
4. Millionaire Obama and his rich friends Kennedy, Pelosi and Fannie Mae CEOs do not pay more tax, only you the middle class pay more tax, because they hide their money in the Trust. They do not represent middle class.
5. Obama will raise Social Security tax, medicare tax, medicaid tax, unemployment insurance tax, payroll tax, capital gain tax, 401K tax, death tax, etc
6. Obama was “bringing the threshold down” from $250,000 to $200,000, before Biden seemed to lower it to $150,000. Richardson Pegs Middle Class as Those Making Under $120,000. They can bring down to any number they want with Obama-Pelosi-Reid control US
7. Hawaii did away with the Universal Health Care plan because he cost too much money and did not work. Who is going to pay for that system if it is implemented? The very tax payers he is claiming he is going to cut taxes for?
Obama-Pelosi-Reid do not care about middle class, they only want your money to control you and to give to the people of his chosen such as voting fraud organization ACORN and his wife’s hospital that doubled her salary to $300,000 in return.

Both McCain and Obama make hideous presidents just as they have been hideous senators, but the public opinion is in favor of Obama. Even so, I predict that McCain will win if the establishment has anything to do with it.

I bet you know Jesus wants you to shoot a moose, maybe get your own personal oil rig, and even move dem crazy Native Alaskan heathens outta der homelands so you can save em.

I only wish that some of these Obama nuts had read the letter from a Cuban who told it like it was. He had come here from Cuba after Fidel Castro came into power the same way this nut Obama is. He promised the people of Cuba whatever they wanted to hear, and the poor and the stupid followed him, to their regret.
But then Obama people would have to be able to read, first wouldn’t they? I guess it is just easier to carry a sign that says change. Change what? Oh, right, give them other people’s hard earned money.

They are more to blame than Bush…look at the states currently not in a recession – Republican states – you need to give tax breaks to big businesses to attract them to your state and employ people. Most citezens are not going to run their own business making under $250K profit… They need to work for a company willing to pay a decent salary and healthcare costs. Democrats are good are moving the “wealth”…but we need the “wealth” to come back to the US first. Things are looking like it could get worse the next four years. Get out and vote tomorrow.

Shane, like I said, explain how they have our money? You mean by working harder, failing more, getting back up more often? Taking risk when most would remain comfortable? Please, I want details of how they have our money? Did they have bank drafts set up to your bank account? Did they send people to steal from your house? I’m just curious…cuz I rather like the fact there are people that make a lot of money so they can pay me more at my job, and maybe even give me a bonus on down years like my company has every year I’ve been there. But let me guess, you have had opportunity in your life, but you turned it down repeatedly because it was easier to stay “comfortable.” And since you have done this and settled for the life you have, now everyone is out to get you, right? Typical.

The only thing conservatives do well across these boards is to spread fear and lies. We know what Obama will do for the middle class. And, contrary to their fear mongering, We know EXACTLY what conservatives have done for the middle class — just look at your home values, your 401K’s, your bank accounts and the jitters you have about your job. It’s absurd they are telling us how bad it will get — we’re already there, folks! Their ideology of trickle down economics is a lie and they are in the pockets of big business. Until they jump out of those pockets of the wealthy and stop narrowing their definition of “real” Americans, the Republican party will not only see defeat tomorrow, but most likely, forever. America is changing — we are not all white any more. Yet, we can be pro America, patriotic and Christian. It’s sad that the Conservatives/Republicans have narrowed their view of even what that means today. As an independent, I am disgusted with Republican style slash and burn politics. The final straw is seeing the Rev. Wright commercial 50 times tonight. Millions of us not just want change, we need change from the conservative ideology — not just Bush or Cheney or McCain — a complete 180 degree turn of our backs on devastating economic policies and blatant bigotry.

You say
“Richasshit- Jesus would eat a moose, cutting up unborn babies is something I bet he would have a problem with though..”
Oh, you are so right der! Only Jesus say parents should kill their children if they sic bears on them.
From The Holy Bible, 2 Kings 2:23-24:
“And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them”
Okay, so I don’t agree with killin little children. But I do agree with shootin bears, and siccin’ bears on little children who say you have a bald head. Now that just ain’t right.
By the way, McCain is spreadin the wealth around. Maybe he’s a spreadin some of this bear siccin; stuff around since he’s almost bald.

To fix the economy the government has to quit spending money – this does not sit well with liberal thinking. Promising people that government will “take care of them” has been the biggest lie in American History. The government has created a dependent group of people the like that has never been seen before. So go vote for Obama and your kids will get a great educaton, we will all be covered by universal health care, your taxes will go down, and the rich will be put in hell. Hey – all of you liberals that were blaming Bush and Big Oil for high gas prices a few months ago – what happened?? You must have all convinced Bush and his oil buddies to give you a break or was it really supply and demand with some speculation mixed in like most intelligent people argued?? Get ready for the New Deal and the Great Society – those programs have served us so well. It is the end of personal accountability and responsibility. “Ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you” Is that how it goes?

Posted by: ms1236 | November 3, 2008, 11:55 pm 11:55 pm

Lets get the facts right. This is a huge economy. The economy is reacting today to things things that were put in place
years ago. Jimmy Carter’s policies started the housing crisis. Bill Clinton’s policies with the help of Barney Frank added more fuel to fire.
The Reps.contribution to this mess is their failure to clean up the Dems. mess.
Bill Clinton’s NAFTA program destroyed the U.S. Textile and furniture industry.
Even your almighty Obama told Hillary that Bill’s NAFTA agreement sent U.S. jobs overseas.
People are so uneducated that they think
this is Bush’s mess. Yes, Bush has made some not so smart policies however,It will be years down the road before we feel the affects of his missteps.
The Reps. picked their weakest candidate to run against the Dems.
However, I am amazed at church folks who support Obama. He made light of The Sermon on The Mount. Now for those of you who do not know Jesus preached the sermon on the mount.
I amazed at all the seniors who support Obama. On the last two debates he stated he do away with the Medicare Advantage program that in many cases has a zero premium for part C medicare.
I am amazed at all the so called patriotic folks who are willing to support a man who attended Wrights church for 20 years.— (GD) America
A man who said he would like to see the national anthem changed to I’d like to teach the world to sing.
I am amazed at hard working Americans
who would support a man who wants to redistribute their wealth.
I am amazed at white people who support a man who attended a church that hated white people, called this country the U.S. of KKK.

Vend,
Alot of your statements are very offensive, and obviously deep-rooted with ignorance.
Let me tell you and the Obama haters something:
Judge Obama by his character and what he represents, not by the colour of his skin.
I pray that your kind will one day be able to live peacefully with people of all races.
Senator Obama has support from all races, not just blacks. To break it down for you, he has support amongst whites, Asians, Hispanics, blacks, and mixed races, and majorty of his supporters are VERY well educated, and established so your comments are very offensive and insulting to the majority of us.
We do not make decisions based on the colour of a person’s skin, it is based on their character and what they represent.
That said, Senator Obama is both black and white. I am sure he would prefer to be perceived as the AMERICAN that he is rather than a lable.
Senator Obama represents all of us – whites, blacks, hispanics and Asians. The rich and the poor. The educated and the un-educated. He represents all Americans.
May God bless the USA, and may the Lord’s will be done in the election.

I an praying that all of the polls are wrong. Over 100 polls and I, nor anyone I know, never got polled. If Obama wins, it’s because he bought and paid for it. Amazing what cold hard cash can get someone. It’s okay for him to spend money that’s been donated, but he wants to tax those who have worked their butts off for their money. I’m praying harder than I have in a long time. Please God, don’t let Obama win.

The polls are always wrong, especially with this election when the media is skewing the facts. Even some of the pollsters are in Obama’s pocket. When you poll 800 Dems and 500 Republicans and say Obama is up by 7 points that is disturbing for Dems. With that imbalance, Obama should be up even more than that. Do the math people.
Example, the day before election day 2004, polls showed Kerry up by 5 in Ohio and Bush took that state by 5.

The polls have been heavily weighted by Democrats in order to get favorable spreads. I have looked at the underlying data, and it’s absurd.
Don’t believe the polls.

With accusations of voter registration fraud swirling as early voting begins in many states, some Hillary Clinton supporters are saying: “I told you so.”
Already in Iowa, the Obama campaign was breaking the rules, busing in supporters from neighboring states to vote illegally in the first contest in the primaries and physically intimidating Hillary supporters, they say.
Obama’s surprisingly strong win in Iowa, which defied all the polls, propelled his upstart candidacy to front-runner status. But Lynette Long, a Hillary supporter from Bethesda, Md., who has a long and respected academic career, believes Obama’s victory in Iowa and in 12 other caucus states was no miracle. “It was fraud,” she told Newsmax.
Long has spent several months studying the caucus and primary results.
“After studying the procedures and results from all 14 caucus states, interviewing dozens of witnesses, and reviewing hundreds of personal stories, my conclusion is that the Obama campaign willfully and intentionally defrauded the American public by systematically undermining the caucus process,” she said.
In Hawaii, for example, the caucus organizers ran out of ballots, so Obama operatives created more from Post-its and scraps of paper and dumped them into ice cream buckets. “The caucuses ended up with more ballots than participants, a sure sign of voter fraud,” Long said.
In Nevada, Obama supporters upturned a wheelchair-bound woman who wanted to caucus for Hillary, flushed Clinton ballots down the toilets, and told union members they could vote only if their names were on the list of Obama supporters.
In Texas, more than 2,000 Clinton and Edwards supporters filed complaints with the state Democratic Party because of the massive fraud. The party acknowledged that the Obama campaign’s actions “amount to criminal violations” and ordered them to be reported to state and federal law enforcement, but nothing happened.
In caucus after caucus, Obama bused in supporters from out of state, intimidated elderly voters and women, and stole election packets so Hillary supporters couldn’t vote. Thanks to these and other strong-arm tactics, Obama won victories in all but one of the caucuses, even in states such as Maine where Hillary had been leading by double digits in the polls.
Obama’s win in the caucuses, which were smaller events than the primaries and were run by the party, not the states, gave him the margin of victory he needed to win a razor-thin majority in the delegate count going into the Democratic National Convention.
Without these caucus wins, which Long and others claim were based on fraud, Clinton would be the Democrats’ nominee running against John McCain.
Citing a detailed report on the voting results and delegate accounts by accountant Piniel Cronin, “there were only four pledged delegates between Hillary and Obama once you discount caucus fraud,” Long said.
Long has compiled many of these eyewitness reports from the 14 caucus states in a 98-page, single-spaced report and in an interactive Web site: http://www.caucusanalysis.org.
ACORN involvement
The Obama campaign recently admitted that it paid an affiliate of ACORN, the controversial community organizer that Obama represented in Chicago, more than $832,000 for “voter turnout” work during the primaries. The campaign initially claimed the money had been spent on “staging, sound and light” and “advance work.”
State and federal law enforcement in 11 states are investigating allegations of voter registration fraud against the Obama campaign. ACORN workers repeatedly registered voters in the name of “Mickey Mouse,” and registered the entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys twice: once in Nevada, and again in Minnesota.
A group that has worked with ACORN in the past registered a dead goldfish under the name “Princess Nudelman” in Illinois. When reporters informed Beth Nudelman, a Democrat, that her former pet was a registered voter, she said, “This person is a dead fish.”
ACORN was known for its “intimidation tactics,” said independent scholar Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow with the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington, D.C., who has researched Obama’s long-standing ties to the group.
Fully 30 percent of 1.3 million new voters ACORN claims to have registered this year are believed to be illegitimate.
Long shared with Newsmax some of the emails and sworn affidavits she received from Hillary supporters who witnessed first-hand the thuggish tactics employed by Obama campaign operatives in Iowa and elsewhere.
Jeff, a precinct captain for Clinton from Davenport, Iowa, thought his caucus was in the bag for his candidate, until just minutes before the voting actually began.
“From 6-6:30 p.m., it appeared as I had expected. Young, old males, females, Hispanics, whites, gay and lesbian friends arriving. Very heavily for Ms. Clinton, a fair amount for Edwards and some stragglers for Obama,” he said.
That makeup corresponded to what he had witnessed from many precinct walks he had made through local neighborhoods.
“My mind began to feel victory for my lady,’ he said. “THEN: at 6:50 p.m., over 75 people of African-American descent came walking in, passed the tables and sat in the Obama section. I knew one of them from my canvassing. I knew another one who did not live in this precinct. And aside from four or five families that live on Hillandale Road, there are no other black people in this unusually white precinct. And one of those black couples were in my Hillary section,” he said.
Thanks to the last-minute influx of unknown Obama supporters, Obama won twice the number of delegates from the precinct as Hillary Clinton.
After it was over, “a very large bus was seen in the parking lot afterwards carrying these folks back” to Illinois, Jeff said.
Obama’s flagrant busing of out-of-state caucus participants from Illinois was so obvious that even Joe Biden — today his running mate, then his rival — pointed it out at the time.
At a campaign stop before the Jan. 3 caucus at the JJ Diner in Des Moines, Biden “said what we were all thinking when he got on stage and said, ‘Hello Iowa!’ and then turned to Barack’s crowd and shouted, ‘and Hello Chicago!’” another precinct captain for Hillary told Long.
Thanks to Illinois campaign workers bused across the border into Iowa, all the precincts in eastern Iowa went for Obama, guaranteeing his win in the caucuses, Long said.
Obama supporters were also bused into northeast Iowa from Omaha, Nebraska, where Obama campaign workers were seen handing out “i-pods and free stuff: T-shirts, clothes, shoes, and free meals” to students and people in homeless shelters,” according to eyewitness reports Long collected.
In Iowa City, red and white chartered buses with Illinois license plates arrived from Illinois packed with boisterous African-American high school students, who came to caucus for Obama in Iowa after being recruited by Obama campaign workers.
2,000 complaints in Texas
In a change in the Democratic National Committee rules for this year’s election season, four states had caucuses and primaries: Washington, Nebraska, Idaho, and Texas. “But Texas is the only one that counted both the caucus result and the primary result,” Long told Newsmax. “The others didn’t count the primary at all, calling it a ‘beauty contest.’”
Because caucuses are more informal, and can last hours, they tend to favor candidates with a strong ground operation or whose supporters use strong-arm tactics to intimidate their rivals.
“There is inherent voter disenfranchisement in the caucuses,” Long said. “Women are less likely to go to caucuses than men, because they don’t like the public nature of the caucus. The elderly are less likely to go to a caucus. People who work shifts can’t go if they work the night shift. And parents with young children can’t go out for four hours on a week night. All these people are traditionally Clinton supporters,” she said.
But Obama’s victories in the caucuses weren’t the result of better organization, Long insists. “It was fraud.”
In state after state, Hillary was leading Obama in the polls right up until the last minute, when Obama won a landslide victory in the caucuses.
The discrepancies between the polls and the caucus results were stunning, Long told Newsmax. The most flagrant example was Minnesota. A Minnesota Public Radio/Humphrey Institute poll just one week before the Feb. 5 caucus gave Hillary a 7-point lead over Obama, 40-33.
But when the Minnesota caucus results were counted, Obama won by a landslide, with 66.39 percent to just 32.23 percent for Hillary, giving him 48 delegates, compared with 24 for Clinton.
“No poll is that far off,” Long told Newsmax.
Similar disparities occurred in 13 of 14 caucus states.
In Colorado and Idaho, Obama had a 2-point edge over Hillary Clinton in the polls, but won by more than 2-1 in the caucuses, sweeping most delegates.
In Kansas, Hillary had a slight edge over Obama in the polls, but Obama won 74 percent of the votes in the caucus and most of the delegates. In nearly every state, he bested the pre-caucus polls by anywhere from 12 percent to more than 30 percent.
This year’s primary rules for the Democrats favored the caucus states over the primary states.
“Caucus states made up only 1.1 million (3 percent) of all Democratic votes, but selected 626 (15 percent) of the delegates,” says Gigi Gaston, a filmmaker who has made a documentary on the caucus fraud.
In Texas alone, she says, there were more than 2,000 complaints from Hillary Clinton and John Edwards supporters of Obama’s strong-arm tactics.
One Hillary supporter, who appears in Gaston’s new film, “We Will Not Be Silenced,” says she received death threats from Obama supporters after they saw her address in an online video she made to document fraud during the Texas caucus. “People called me a whore and a skank,” she said.
John Siegel, El Paso Area Captain for Hillary, said, “Some people saw outright cheating. Other people just saw strong-arm tactics. I saw fraud.”
Another woman, who was not identified in the film, described the sign-in process. “You’re supposed to sign your names on these sheets. The sheets are supposed to be controlled, and passed out — this is kind of how you maintain order. None of that was done. The sheets were just flying all over the place. You could put in your own names. You could add your own sheets or anything. It was just filled with fraud.”
Other witnesses described how Obama supporters went through the crowds at the caucus telling Hillary supporters they could go home because their votes had been counted, when in fact no vote count had yet taken place.
“I couldn’t believe this was happening,” one woman said in the film. “I thought this only happened in Third World countries.”
On election day in Texas, Clinton campaign lawyer Lyn Utrecht issued a news release that the national media widely ignored.
“The campaign legal hot line has been flooded with calls containing specific accusations of irregularities and voter intimidation against the Obama campaign,” she wrote. “This activity is undemocratic, probably illegal, and reflects a wanton disregard for the caucus process.”
She identified 18 separate precincts where Obama operatives had removed voting packets before the Clinton voters could arrive, despite a written warning from the state party not to remove them.
The hot line also received numerous calls during the day that “the Obama campaign has taken over caucus sites and locked the doors, excluding Clinton campaign supporters from participating in the caucus,” she wrote.
“There are numerous instances of Obama supporters filing out precinct convention sign-in sheets during the day and submitting them as completed vote totals at caucus. This is expressly against the rules,” she added.
But no one seemed to care.
Despite Clinton’s three-and-a-half point win in the Texas primary — 50.87 percent to 47.39 percent —Obama beat her in the caucus the same day by 56 to 43.7 percent, giving him a 38-to-29 advantage in delegates.
Linda Hayes investigated the results at the precinct level in three state Senate districts. Under the rules of the Texas Democratic Party, participants in the caucuses had to reside in the precinct where they were caucusing, and had to have voted in the Democratic primary that same day.
When she began to see the results coming in from the precincts that were wildly at variance with the primary results, “I could see that something was wrong,” Hayes said.
Hayes says she found numerous anomalies as she went through the precinct sign-in sheets.
“Many, many, many Obama people either came to the wrong precinct, they did not sign in properly, they did not show ID, or they did not vote that day.” And yet, their votes were counted.
In a letter to Rep. Lois Capps, a Clinton supporter calling himself “Pacific John,” described the fraud he had witnessed during the caucuses.
“On election night in El Paso, it became obvious that the Obama field campaign was designed to steal caucuses. Prior to that, it was impossible for me to imagine the level of attempted fraud and disruption we would see,” he wrote.
“We saw stolen precincts where Obama organizers fabricated counts, made false entries on sign-in sheets, suppressed delegate counts, and suppressed caucus voters. We saw patterns such as missing electronic access code sheets and precinct packets taken before the legal time, like elsewhere in the state. Obama volunteers illegally took convention materials state-wide, with attempts as early as 6:30 am.”
The story of how Obama stole the Democratic Party caucuses — and consequently, the Democratic Party nomination — is important not just because it prefigures potential voter fraud in the Nov. 4 presidential election, which is under way.
It’s important because it fits a pattern that Chicago journalists and a few national and international commentators have noticed in all of the elections Obama has won in his career.
NBC correspondent Martin Fletcher described Obama’s first election victory, for the Illinois state Senate, in a recent commentary that appeared in the London Telegraph.
“Mr. Obama won a seat in the state Senate in 1996 by the unorthodox means of having surrogates successfully challenge the hundreds of nomination signatures that candidates submit. His Democratic rivals, including Alice Palmer, the incumbent, were all disqualified,” Fletcher wrote.
Obama’s election to the U.S. Senate “was even more curious,” conservative columnist Tony Blankley wrote in The Washington Times.
Citing an account that appeared in The Times of London, Blankley described how Obama managed to squeeze out his main Democratic rival, Blair Hull, after divorce papers revealed allegations that Hull had allegedly made a death threat to his former wife.
Then in the general election, “lightning struck again,” Blankley wrote, when his Republican opponent, wealthy businessman Jack Ryan, was forced to withdraw in extremis after his divorce papers revealed details of his sexual life with his former wife.
Just weeks before the election, the Illinois Republican party called on Alan Keyes of Maryland to challenge Obama in the general election. Obama won a landslide victory.
“Mr. Obama’s elections are pregnant with the implications that he has so far gamed every office he has sought by underhanded and sordid means,” Blankley wrote, while “the American media has let these extraordinary events simply pass without significant comment.”
Hillary Clinton supporters, belatedly, now agree

Most people refuse to do polls especially among conservatives. I’m an independent and I told both pollsters where they should put themselves instead of doing a poll. I hope people aren’t really going to vote for the fascist and marxist tomorrow. Florida polls are going better than expected for McCain…so I hope this continues tomorrow for all states.

Read about half way down in article…more proof that MOST libs are all talk and no action! I know you don’t believe in facts and stats, but oh well!
http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=736
We often hear that religious people give more to charity than secularists. Is this true?
A. In the year 2000, “religious” people (the 33 percent of the population who attend their houses of worship at least once per week) were 25 percentage points more likely to give charitably than “secularists” (the 27 percent who attend less than a few times per year, or have no religion). They were also 23 percentage points more likely to volunteer. When considering the average dollar amounts of money donated and time volunteered, the gap between the groups increases even further: religious people gave nearly four times more dollars per year, on average, than secularists ($2,210 versus $642). They also volunteered more than twice as often (12 times per year, versus 5.8 times).
The top 10 percent of households in income are responsible for at least a quarter of all the money contributed to charity, and households with total wealth exceeding $1 million give about half of all charitable donations. The American rich are generous, on average.
Who gives the most in America: conservatives or liberals?
A. There is a persistent stereotype about charitable giving in politically progressive regions of America: while people on the political right may be hardworking and family-oriented, they tend not to be very charitable toward the less fortunate. In contrast, those on the political left care about vulnerable members of society, and are thus the charitable ones. Understanding “charity” in terms of voluntary gifts of money (instead of government income redistribution), this stereotype is wrong.
The fact is that self-described “conservatives” in America are more likely to give—and give more money—than self-described “liberals.” In the year 2000, households headed by a conservative gave, on average, 30 percent more dollars to charity than households headed by a liberal. And this discrepancy in monetary donations is not simply an artifact of income differences. On the contrary, liberal families in these data earned an average of 6 percent more per year than conservative families.
These differences go beyond money. Take blood donations, for example. In 2002, conservative Americans were more likely to donate blood each year, and did so more often, than liberals. People who said they were “conservative” or “extremely conservative” made up less than one-fifth of the population, but donated more than a quarter of the blood. To put this in perspective, if political liberals and moderates gave blood like conservatives do, the blood supply in the United States would surge by nearly half.
One major explanation for the giving discrepancy between conservatives and liberals is religion. In 2004, conservatives were more than twice as likely as liberals to attend a house of worship weekly, whereas liberals were twice as likely as conservatives to attend seldom or never. There are indeed religious liberals in America, but they are currently outnumbered by religious conservatives by about four to one.

Apparently the money is NOT coming from him…he is a plummer wanna be and a tax cheat. Wake up. JTP is an opportunistic germ of the society trying to make a quick buck. He lied about buying a company when he was talking to Obama. He lied about what he wanted to do. He must have thought he was at a local pub chatting with his buddy. Do you know he hired some firm to mange his appearances ? McCain has been endorsed by a tax cheat…if you are a democrat and voting for McCain. Good riden.

I’ll pick that question. This is so easy even you can understand. Just a tiny case among thousands during the last eight neocon years.
+500 BN in taxpayers money (our money) was spent occupaying Irak for dark reasons and open lies. That money keeps flowing. Ever since, many coporations (let’s say Halliburton) incresed their profits by getting involved in the economics aspect. Or Lookheed, Boeing, General Dynamics. Guess whose money they receive? That’s just not “growing” but transferring money from the middle class taxex to the wealthy via a neocon govt. Just one case.

Ah, there is a good dem for ya. Sue, sue, sue…
Red Neck quote #1…”If polls are wrong then we are f-up. We will have a total idiot and a absolute moron leading US. Idiot because he selected the moron or vice versa. Either way we would be f-up.”
Red Neck post #2 “Wish everyone would take a moment to pull their heads out of their behinds. I’m shocked at how few people can actually think for themselves. Seems as though the majority of the population has been mind screwed in one way or another & simply spew the same crap that they just ingested. Pretty obvious the last 8 years have been a colossal disaster. Hard to imagine that anyone on the planet could have done any worse a job in destroying the country. Why would anyone in their right mind want to vote for another republican? They’ve already looted the treasury & there’s no more money left to steal. The power hungry self serving money grubbing greedy bastard republican party needs to fade into extinction.”
Again, this is the self-proclaimed not hate spewing party…
Red Neck post #3 “If McCain wins, it will not be because the polls were wrong, or the political media is not credible. It will be because there has been foul play.” yep, the whining begins already…

“Spreading the Wealth” Vote for Obama. That is disgusting. I’m not wealthy, I’m just a small biz owner that works 7 days a week, 13 hours a day struggling to make a living. It is very hard for us already to make ends meet. If Obama becomes president, I don’t think he’s gonna care how small biz owners struggle. He’s going to keep taxing, taxing, and taxing. So he can give the money to welfare people that sits their lazy asses at home and wait to be fed. What was he thinking? Offering welfare to the whole nation. We want a prosperous nation, not living off the wealthy. It would make people lazy. Hispanics cross borders to come have a baby and not have to pay a penny because they’re poor. That’s why they keep crossing the border. After they have their baby, since it’s free they’ll have a dozen more. Live off welfare and medi-cal and the Wealthy who is living frugally, have to pay for them. We need to set a premium for having a baby even with welfare. $1200 per child, whether you like it or not. That might make people think twice because wanting to make baby. There is something wrong with the picture.
American Leaders need to stop letting other parts of the country take advantage of us. We’re the one that is losing, not them. Americans can’t go to other countries and just purchase land, we can only lease the land since we’re Foreigners. Why is it that everybody in the world can own pieces of properties here. We’re just too free-market, that may bring people with bad intentions to our country. We should make Foreigners only lease land as well.
Vote McCain, it’s nothing about race. It’s about prospering the nation again. Although Bush was the President, the Congress was controlled by the Democratic. The economy was doing well when the Republican were in control. Please vote wisely. Just because Bush was a bad example of a horrible president, it doesn’t mean other Republican will follow his lead.
People that seem to talk smart are usually just talkers not doers. They talk their way into everything, just saying what people want to hear so they can get their vote.

Three things we know about the polls:
1) It is not trendy to tell anyone you are voting Republican this year.
2) Dems who voted for Hillary are more than likely to tell pollsters they are still voting Democrat whether they are or not. I bet a quarter that Hillary and Bill pull the lever for McCain.
3) About 90% of those against Obama because he is black are not going to tell folks that.
4) Women who will vote Republican just because they have a woman on the ticket will be less likely to admit that to pollsters.
5) Here’s the big one: Given the economy, Bush Administration’s performance, his aloofness and the initial mishandling of the war in Iraq, this should have been a slam dunk year for the Dems, on the order of 60-40, maybe even 65-35, HOWEVER, Obama can barely scratch 50% if the polls are correct. Dems should be embarrassed that they threw up such a candidate.
All of these points are in favor of McCain. If he could just draw 1% of Obama’s supporters for each of these reasons, then he has a chance. A big if, but we shall see.

Those that want to accuse the Republicans for all the bad things that have happened really need to pay more attention. First, the first six years of Bush’s term were good.
Then in 2006, we wanted a change so Democrats were voted into congress and look what that change has brought us after only two years. These democrats have had control of congress for the last two years. Its just easier to blame President Bush, and of course the media will tell you it is his fault so that you will be stupid enought to vote for Obama.
You sound like a bunch of parrots unable to think for yourself.

For all you folks who are afraid of obama because of Wright and Ayers? Do a little googling about Mccain’s good friend Gordon Liddy, Palin’s america-hating AIP, her extremist radical church NAR movement, and their many ‘dangerous’ associations, the ones the media refuses to talk about because they are too busy drilling Ayers and Wright into your heads!!!

Most of the rich worked for their money? Really, like they worked for that $700 billion? Gee it felt like corporate welfare to me, but what do I know I’m a stupid independent voter. Hell I guess if you tell me they worked for it I may as well vote for more of the same! Thanks for showing me what reality looks like.

What if the polls are wrong????
What if the media has swayed the polls all this time?
What if the MSM has been in the tank for one candidate for the entire election?
Does anyone believe that it is far beyond time to report fairly and honestly? Does anyone believe that a journalist should not show their own bias toward their candidate of choice?
This entire election has proven that the MSM has been in the tank for Obama from day one. They have withheld pertinent facts which would have been important issues in the eyes of the voters?
IMO, this election would have been much, much different had the MSM not shown their bias.
Yes, we do need CHANGE! We need FAIR and BALANCED reporting.

From Bloomberg…”Obama, the Democratic candidate, has said consumers should be allowed to withdraw as much as 15 percent of their 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement Accounts without tax penalties, up to $10,000. Republican McCain said he would allow those over the age of 59 1/2 to withdraw up to $50,000 from an account at lower tax rates than they might otherwise face.” I think, as of now, if you draw from any retirement account early you pay a huge penalty and tax.

TRUTH, thank you for mentioning the 2000 election, but get it straight. Gore is the one that was trying to cheat and didn’t succeed. Gore wanted to change the rules after the election instead of doing it before the election. You can’t change the rules in a game after the fact and get away with it unless you are under about 7 years old. Quit whining about losing an election where the Democrats tried to cheat to win. Sorry, but our elections are decided by the electoral college whether you and the Democrats like it or not. Too bad, try a new argument next time.

To help MINIMIZE problems with the vote count, try to check your ballot for ANY inconsistancies, (“flipped” vote, “hanging chads”, etc.), BEFORE exiting the voting booth! Do NOT let “human error” add to the other potential problems with this year’s vote. Make sure that YOUR vote counts for the candidates YOU choose, if you possibly can! Good luck tomorrow and may the best man win …. no matter who you believe that to be.

Keep them company if their is a line! Have fun because people – the pay off is worth it!

This rating was all inclusive of all parties.

The polls have not been accurate – hello? – doesn’t anybody remember that both Gore and Kerry were projected to win? Okay, let me explain this s-l-o-w-l-y. It does not matter how many votes Obama has, if the increase is in states where he already leads. You can only wring the maximum number of electoral votes out of a state. So, he could have HUGE margins of victory in California, New York, Illinois, and other states…but if McCain manages to eek out even a small lead in enough other states…Obama could indeed have a 3% popular vote lead…and LOSE the election in the electoral college. This is why the founding fathers set up the electoral college system – to balance the rural and city interests. The system works, and McCain may just win it.

Just like the book Marx wrote about. Word for word just like Bill Ayers. They will have re-education camps to kill off about 1/4 of the us population .

http://alaskanwoulds.blogspot.com/2008/09/friday-october-22-2004-pollsters_12.html “Pollsters getting Kerry’d away”
… then lie to pollsters afterwards. I said the test of my theory would be if the exit polls were way off.
They were!
http://alaskanwoulds.blogspot.com/2008/09/wednesday-november-03-2004-i-beat_12.html “I beat the Pollsters!”
And it will be worse this year. I’m not racist, but a lot people are … it is “cool” to say you are for Obama … but behind that privacy curtain … hey … no one really believes that pollsters keep things confidential, so they lie to them. It will certainly happen again this year. Whether enough to tip the election of not, I’ve no idea, but the theory is still sound:

Oh … and Palin was just cleared in Troopergate! Naturally they waited until it was essentially too late for people to find out in time. But even the Alaska McClatchy rag titled the story “New Troopergate Report Clears Palin”.

Posted by: Backwoods | November 4, 2008, 1:14 am 1:14 am

The Obama campaign has succeeded in equating any criticism of him as racism and that includes not voting for him. Therefore, in the same manner that exit polls showed John Kerry with 300 electoral college votes because those voting for Bush refused to take part in them and subject themselves to redicule, people who are for McCain have been not answering their phones (caller ID), or hanging up in droves (just ask the pollsters). It may well be that most of the undecided voters in these polls are for McCain but don’t want someone who now knows their phone number to know that they are “racists.” If I’m right, then McCain will win decisively and the disinformation campaign about the inevitability of the Obama presidency will have failed. Oh yeah, and there will also probably be riots in the streets of our cities.

Obama and Biden want to spread everyone else’s wealth around but their own. You liberals seem to think Obama will be a savior of the middle class and poor, but he can care less about his own family. He has a half brother living in Kenya in a shack earning a $1 a month. Obama even met him several years ago and left him staying there in poverty. Would it have been asking too much of Obama to slip him a couple of hundred dollars so the poor guy could buy a house?
Now we find out that he has an Aunt here illegally living in Boston and also living in poverty. She had donated several hundred dollars to his campaign and Obama, being this wondrous and gracious person, gave back her money to the penny, but not a penny more. So she is still living in poverty.
Now Biden has over the past couple of years made over $3 million and been so gracious in donating $3,000 some to charity. I don’t remember the exact figures, but at the time I divided it and it is .0009 or .09%, not even one 10th of 1 percent.
These guys are total hypocrites. Look at actions, not words.

I was a Democrat, but now I am an independent. I cannot beleive the democrats nominated Barrack Obama. He has no experience, no track record, not run anything, never gone against his party, etc. He is not the person we need to lead us. He needs more experience and we need to know more about his positions and his background.
It is a big mistake if he wins tonight! If you thought Bush was bad just wait. Are you going to tell me Obama is more qualified to be president than Gore? or Kerry??, Obama speaks well, I am not knocking him as a person, I am questioning his qualifications. In the infomercial las Wednesday he never once said what he asscomplished, nothing about what he Obama did, nothing nadda.

Obama = higher taxes for everyone.
Obama = Depression that will be worse than the one in 1929.
Obama = health care controlled by government that will reduce resources and medicines available and increase the wait in the doctor’s or dentist’s offices.
Obama = Education controlled by government where he will tell the schools what subjects to teach like sex education.
Obama = more spending than any president in history which will increase the budget deficit more than any other president has.
Obama = the surrender of Iraq to the terrorists and insurgents.
Obama = a friendship he will have with terrorists and other haters of America.
Obama = the destruction of the coal industry and the increase in energy prices and a decrease in energy created causing more blackouts across the country.
Obama = a man with a VP that will stick his foot in his mouth daily and rehash ideas that McCain supports.
Obama = a puppet president being run by the far left wingers and media like Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, and many others that hate that America is a capitalistic society instead of a socialistic/facist state that they want to bring.
Obama = racist trying to call Republicans racists and a man who hates Republicans. He and the left-wing congress and media are trying to destroy the Republican party so that they can rule by a one party dictatorship. Don’t let them win by giving them the House, Senate, and the Presidency. That would be the largest mistake in our history. Let’s keep a two party system.
If you want to destroy America tomorrow then vote for Obama. He will be the singular person to do what the left-wing liberals have tried to do for years.
If you want to see America overrun with Al Queda and others then vote for Obama.
The life of this country is now in your hhands if you haven’t voted yet.

Shirley, can’t Democrats come up with any questions that aren’t hateful toward republicans. Can’t you talk about why Obama is a man that has lied so many times we can’t count them anymore. He supported bills to increase everyone’s taxes, but now says he won’t increase taxes to 95% of the people, but did support a bill to increase taxes for those making more than $46,000, not $250,000 he now says he would do if you believe that. He supported a bill that would protect abortion of those in the third tri-mester of pregnancy and would allow it to be done in the most in humane way. He voted “present” more than 130 times and didn’t vote at all just so he could blame the Republicans. Democrats refuse to vote on things without Republicans voting with them so that they can later blame them because they know that the bills they created themselves won’t work. Why are Democrats so scared they won’t answer these questions? Democrats are cowards and know that Republicans have their number so they have to yell and not answer direct questions about issues that they don’t want to answer. Thanks to Joe the Plumber for asking a question that pointed this out and the outlandish probing into his background was cowardly by a party that couldn’t answer the question without mentioning “spread the wealth” = socialist/fascist economic values. Let the Democrats answer straight questions without returning questions with questions or silence.

You know, I was think I was going to vote Obama. Seriously, as a lesbian seeing change-change-change and civil rights shining promises, I was thinking of it. I thought about it, and I’m voting McCain–which will make heads implode, things divisable by zero, and the Hadron Collider suddenly rip the timespace continuum.
Biden saying that those who don’t vote for Obama are rednecks and racists is deeply offensive. Obama saying that people clinging to their religion and guns was offensive. I agreed with Rev. Wright somewhat for awhile, actually, with that said.
I don’t agree with either side 100%, and I think that whoever gets this country will be in for a world of hurt. McCain will be accused of rigging the election, or Obama will be secretly thought of as unrepresentative somehow away from mainstream media. Neither will immediately make the world blossom into sunshine and kitty-cat smiles.
I think both sides make fools of themselves–very grandly, with that. This reposting comments going “lol point proven–these people are stupid!” is kind of silly.
I think that the country is racist, unfortunately, enough to have someone ending up to assassinate Obama–it seems to be the elephant in the room that Democrats are very unwilling to address. Personally, I don’t want President Biden. Where will Obama’s supporters go then?
As for McCain, I’ve heard from doctor friends of mine that according to life expectancy tables he’s not going to be here for a full four years. Which brings into account a President Palin.
I mean, it’s just something to ponder on, if this is so far down on this comment thing for someone to read. Personally, my life won’t end if Obama’s president, or become miraculously better. He believes marriage is between a man and a woman, like McCain, so I’m screwed regardless.
Sorry for any misspellings on my part, I’m tired.

I believe that if the polls are wrong, the US will experience some depopulation due to ex-migrations and suicide.
Apart from that, it is tragic that we get so hung up in rather small-minded “civil war” and not move forward with revolution. Strange, odd, and sad, come to think of it. The country was founded on a revolution — not on petty bickering. And they did it without the internet and even without electricity, etc.
My father, whose grandparents had something (albeit modest) to do with the founding of the Republican party, and who loved neither do-gooders nor Democrats, must be brushing off the earthly worms and ready to leap out and say “REVOLUTION. Vote for Obama. He is the intelligent and wisest choice.”

Both Candidates have established that they will increase federal programs that they favor.
In Canada and other countries, candidates run against one another, one proclaiming to be left and the other right, when both are socialists.
Little has been said by either of these candidates that would restict the federal government to the limited delegated powers granted to it by the Constitution.

They’ll even fake being a lesbian former Dem – voting for McCain! You can see right through these old guys like a cheap shirt! Their opinions of their own acting skills are astronomically high – but I will admit – they are HIGHLY entertaining!

James Drake, good point, I’m truly hoping after this election we will see some change in this area.

Posted by: shirley | November 4, 2008, 1:45 am 1:45 am

For those that say McCain = Bush. If that is true the Obama = Bill Clinton. Clinton raised taxes just like Obama will, the difference is that Clinton got lucky with a new invention during his presidency that actually allowed job creation. The invention is what we are all using right now, the internet. If the internet hadn’t come along jobs would have declined and the economy would have sank. Here’s the truth, we won’t see that happen with Obama because we are already in a downturn, but not as big a downturn as the liberals want you to believe. It’s funny how they are the ones that didn’t listen when Republicans tried to tell them that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were in trouble, but now they have the audacity to blame the Republicans. How blind can you all be? The Democrats have created the current financial fiasco led by puppet master of Obama Barney Frank. Do you want them to do the same thing to everything else in America like health care, education, etc.

juju -
I’m a disgrace for disagreeing with Obama (and, albeit, the majority of the LGBT community, I admit) because I don’t think he does enough to protect my rights, personally. I support gay marriage, as marriage. Obama stated he wants civil unions. Separate but equal is always separate but rarely equal.

I don’t drink the Kool Aid. I vote for people I beleive are the best person for the position. I make up my own mine and this year, frankly I have gone contrary to my family and friends as a Democrat for McCain. What do we know about Obama, WHAT HAS HE DONE? We know what he wants to do?
Flying to Europe or Asia I want a pilot who has some flying hours as opposed to someone who who thinks they know how to pilot the jet.

I saw a commentator on PBS say that sometimes when people get in the booth to actually vote, they have changed their mind when it came to a non-traditional candidate. He sites an election in California (I believe) where a black man was way ahead in the polls and very popular, but when it came to the people putting their money where their mouth was, they did not vote for him and he lost the election. that is one example, and I have even seen some bloggers say they just lied to telephone poll examiners about voting for Obama. I am glad George is being more cautious about thinking Barack has this in the bag.

Gays, Lesbians, I’m sorry that Obama can’t support gay marriage, it would be political suicide. As the country evolves (on the verge of electing a black man president!) gay marriage will eventually come, sorry you have to wait, but it will come.

Posted by: shirley | November 4, 2008, 1:49 am 1:49 am

SBunny – NOBODY on the Right has ever done ANYTHING to support the gay/lesbian community in ANY WAY. I’m just a regular, white, mom of 4 boys – but I believe in marriage for gays and I at least know that putting a President into the whitehouse with the ability to appoint supreme court justices – is the ONLY way we will make progress at a federal level. I AGREE WITH YOU – BUT YOU ARE SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE FOOT WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION….WHY?

Posted by: juju | November 4, 2008, 1:51 am 1:51 am

First, the first six years of Bush’s term were good.
Then in 2006, we wanted a change so Democrats were voted into congress and look what that change has brought us after only two years.
======================
Hahahahaa
Uh, right. The reason the Dems took control of Congress was because things “were good” right?
And the economic chaos we are seeing is due to YEARS of Republican led policy.
It certainly didn’t happen in 18 months!
I understand that’s what Hannity and Limbaugh tell you to think, but get real.
The country was a mess when the Dems came in at the end of 2006, and the effects of “get government of my back”, give the tax breaks to the rich, Republican policy destroyed our economy.
This conversation has grown tiresome. If you are so gullible to actually believe the same party that damaged our country for eight years, now has the answers to fix it, that’s just scary.
POLLS ARE RIGHT. OBAMA IS WINNING ACROSS THE BOARD. McCAIN RAN A PATHETIC CAMPIAGN ON A NON-PLATFORM. HIS ONLY POLICY WAS TO ATTACK OBAMA.
THEY WILL ANNOUNCE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AT 10PM EST TUESDAY NIGHT.

Posted by: Obama 08! | November 4, 2008, 1:52 am 1:52 am

Shirley, we have to do something since Obama and the Democrats create so much voter fraud that there isn’t a way for Republicans to win. The Democrats bus people to other states so that they can vote twice, create registrations for the dead, and create registrations for celebrities and ordinary people in multiple states. I don’t think that any of this legal, but the Democrats and Acorn do this every election and no Americans try to stop it, and when the Republicans try to stop it they say that Republicans are suppressing the vote. All Republicans want is for each person that is living and a legal American citizen to only vote once. This is not trying to suppress the vote. It is trying to create a valid legal vote where everyone that wants to vote only one time in the state that they live in can vote, but not allow them to vote more than once or for the dead to vote.

I am just still astounded that those of us who are not gay/les but totally support gay marriage would keep doing to while you are going to vote for the party that will do the LEAST for you. We don’t want Obama to commit political suicide by saying he wants to support gay marriage – we want him to win so that he is in a position to make positive changes. Why on earth would you vote for McCain Palin – so anti everything homosexual (in fact they are openly disgusted) WHY?

According to the book of Revelation, the anti-Christ: will be a man in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will come out of nowhere, decieve the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal….. the prophesy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA? I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT AND SEND THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO VOTE. THE BOOK OF REVELATION SAYS THAT THE BEAST WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE AUTHORITY APPROX 42 months (in ch 13) Thats almost a 4 year presidency term. Lord have mercy on us!

Posted by: Chris | November 4, 2008, 2:01 am 2:01 am

Obama 08, it is a democratic congress whose policies have failed. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created under Clinton and this is why we have the economic mess we now have. You are right it didn’t happen in 18 months, it happened in 15-20 years when Clinton was president. The Republicans tried to fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but Democrats refused to listen and then they blame Republicans and Americans believe that crap. Give us a break and speak the truth, it is the Democrats who try to destroy the economy so that they can win a presidential election. It happened in Bush 41′s re-election campaign agains Clinton, and is now occurring again with McCain vs. Obama. If you believe that the Democrats support America’s growth you are an idiot. They try to destroy America to get elected.

Shirley, why is Acorn under fire for voter fraud if this isn’t the case. And Obama did support Acorn and take campaign money from Acorn. It has been proven. Also, I have never said I wasn’t a democrat or republican.

Facts.
Acorn tries to get communities to vote, by registering them
Some paid volunteers faked names
Acorn was required to turn in every potential registration
Acorn voluntarily flagged suspicious potential registrations
Voter registration fraud almost never leads to voter fraud
Obviously a repub tactic, they have used this forever, to suppress the vote, and probably have to a done it to a degree here. By the way, you can view videos of McCain supporting Acorn when they were helping him.

The lies that the right wing keeps coming up with is amazing. I guess it makes money for FOX and Rush. The latest is the coal mining.

I’m so disgusted to hear the filthy lies and hatred that republicans constantly spew out. If you read through all the posts here, you see that those who back Obama do so because he is the better candidate, more intelligent and thoughtful, with better tact and foresight. Those who back McCain simply spew out hatred, anger and downright lies about Obama or his policies. It’s ridiculous to call him a Socialist or Communist. You should learn what that really means. By the way, the tax rate that Obama wants to re-install for people making over $250K a year was initially put in place by GEORGE H.W. BUSH. Please give our country a chance to heal and change direction and vote OBAMA/BIDEN tomorrow.

Obama’s position on MANY ISSUES are IMCOMPATIBLE with CHRISTIAN VALUE.
Obama is the MOST LIBERAL senator who supports GAY MARRIAGE, TAX FUNDING for ABORTION, human CLONING, JUDICAL ACTIVISM. GAY PRIDE CELEBRATION, and HOMOSEXUAL EDUCATION.
Obama also is THE MOST EXTREME PRO-ABORTION candidate and is RATED 100% in the rating of NARAL, Pro-abortion group
Obama, as a Illinois state senator, VOTED FOUR times AGAINST providing IMMEDIATE medical care to NEW BORN-ALIVE BABIES, LETTING THEM DIE.
Obama also supports PARTIAL BIRTH abortion, a GROUSOME procedure without ANASTASIA.—CRUEL THING.
Voting for Obama is INCOOPERATING in the EVIL OF INNOCENT BLOOD SHEDING.

I believe that a good indicator of voter preference is rally attendance numbers. Here Obama dominates. His turnouts regularly overwhelm McCain’s showings — to such an enormous degree that should the numbers not reflect such tomorrow I would suspect something is amiss, and it would not be the fault of pollsters, or the media.

Posted by: Average Jane | November 4, 2008, 2:28 am 2:28 am

This election has proven that you can’t vote by part line. The Dems really messed over Hillary, creating the type of cacuses, to reflect whom they wanted, denying delegates, splitting as they pleased. Out right Fraud. Obama has committed outright fraud, with ACORN, with Fundraising, from illegals,& foreign countries. Refusing to be honest and submit his birth certificate,ect. Look at the company he keeps, only temporarily forsaking them just because he was running for President. How is Obamas Fraud better than Bushes & Cheneys?
John McCain is a moderate Republican & a senator by principle, not going with the status quo, he stood up for what was right in the senate, like no pork, and changing the ruins in Iraq to turn the tide for the side of right. Obama has Never served our country in any tanagible way. Ive been a community organizeer, I was in Girl Scouts.
Experience and Integerty counts. Obama is just now having faith in America, Michelle too. Obama has a Long way to Grow – Go!!!

Re-education… “The theory underlying such camps is the Maoist theory of reforming anti-revolutionaries into socialist citizens by re-education through labor.”
Well, den we’re all fer it up here in Alaska. We want to kill off the moose population. We want those commie moose to reform into socialist moose by werkin their butts off. We’re gonna let them know whose boss. Yeah.

Posted by: shirley | November 4, 2008, 3:12 am 3:12 am

John McCain is so far left he kinda scares me. One of his worst traits is he is like George Bush, liberal with their spending.
I don’t believe John McCain is planning on a tax cut, but he did say he wasn’t going to repeal the Bush tax cuts that benefited 100% of Americans.
Health care is so expensive that we are required to have health insurance. That is the real problem.
I could point out the truth all day, but nobody really cares what I say. I didn’t condemn President Bush or insult John McCain, something quite unpopular.
I think I want Obama to win though, because he would usher in change we haven’t seen since the 30′s. This almost recession will definitely turn into a depression. He would need a third term to try to get out of his hole, something he might get due to the fact that everything he says is right and anyone who resists is racist.
Since I can’t find a job if Obama is a person of his word he’d really benefit me. Though, not everything is about me. You can’t buy my loyalty with promises, rhetoric, and bribes. The United States of America matter more to me than my own comfort.

If you’re alleigance to the Republcan party is so strong that you’re voting for McCain in 2008, make sure you ask yourself, “What have they done for me?”
Are you truly better off? The power-elite wealthy are, but they constitute a tiny minority. If you’re making under a million, you need to vote Democrat. It’s going to take a long time, but the Democrats can grow this economy- they have a proven track record on it that dates back long past the Clinton years.

But it’s not over until the fat lady sings, so we will be doing everything we can to get the vote out until the last ballots are cast.

Gombonzo, what are you talking about, please put it in clear terms, are you voting?

My fellow Americans,
This country is totally screwed up. I’ve been living in Europe for nearly 30 years and every time I come back to the States I am shocked at home much more we’ve gone down hill since the last time I was there.
The only God in America is Wallmart.
There is less racism, which is good. But now, it seems like almost everyone is “white trash”, even the minorities.
America has become complacent to horrible crimes, destitution, homelessness and hate.
It’s really time to take a look in the mirror and realize we must change soon or go the way of the Romans into decadence.

Whoever wins this election will jump into the drivers seat of a car in mid skid. Lets hope he can drive.
And BTW , if Americans expect any of these campaign promises to be possible let alone happen , they better be prepared to sacrifice. With that sacrifice will come a new meaning of what it is to be a positive force in the world , an American.
I’m not American , but at times like these I get a general sense of what it means to be an American , warts and all.
Do I have a preference between the two candidates? Yes.
Good Luck America , we’re rooting for you !

Shirley,
Go get’em. I’m an agnostic too.
The only religion in America these days is the GoDollar.
They all kneel down and prey that someone whill give them more GoDollars. Nothing else matters to them.
They hate anyone who doesn’t share their religious views, because they’re greedy and afraid someone will take their GoDollars away.
It’s time for these people to renounce their pagan GoDollar and see the true joys of life, like enjoying a walk in the forest in Fall, or watching their grandchildren grow up in a safe and loving community.

There are two candidates claiming ‘change’. One had that slogan first, the other usurped it mid-campaign.
The original represents true change.
The later represents simply changing the name on the oval office door.
Based on the past 8 years, the choice isn’t too difficult.

I voted for Obama, because he’s the only one espousing personal responsibility to the community.
The GOP is the party of “Every man for himself”. It represents the true “Maverick” spirit of the Wild West.
The trouble is, there is no more wild frontier. It’s time to put the guns away and build schools and hospitals… and mend some fences.

Vote the Right Guy!
The one who looked more presidential throughout the gruelling campaign.
The one who was more positive.
The one who will change America’s perception worldwide for ever.
The one who did not go for negative campaigning.
The one who chose his running mate wisely.
The one who is trying to unite the country rather than divide it.
The one who offers hope.
The one who does not live in the past.
The one who does not look angry everytime someone asks a question.
The one who showed better judgement.
The one who is not a war monger.
The one who is more strategic.
The one who respects wisdom over courage.
The one who will be more transformational.
The one who will usher in a New America.
Thank you!
Vote Obama!

Poor people who vote for republicans are the only unselfish people there are. After all what do they get out of it besides for tax cuts?
Of course so many people don’t believe that others are being unselfish when they do things that do not benefit them unevenly. There are many people who insist that it is all mind control of the stupid. Sounds like xenophobia.
Many people don’t like George Bush and that is a shame. Never before have the people had such contempt for their leader. Most likely it is because they don’t understand him or what he has had to do. Or they have some crazy belief that I can only equate to those with dementia. If he was the fascist that they want him to be then they would love him as they do the Hugo Chavezes of the world.
People hate what they don’t understand. I’ve done my best to understand both major candidates and I am filled with fear. I fear because I understand them as best I can and they’re nuts. Obama’s actions are easy to understand once you understand him. He is to the left of his own party line and really he isn’t much past that. McCain doesn’t adhere to only his party’s politics and is quite near the center. He is so much more than the party line and I guess that is scary to a lot of people. A moderate, someone who everyone can agree with on at least a few issues, nobody can fully oppose him. If people wanted to unite around him they could. On the other hand Obama is so radical and extreme that McCain, despite being or an unpopular party, can draw in democrats.
I guess I’m quite liberal. After all I want everyone treated equally until their actions and words make them unequal. Then again I have national pride and know that we’re the best in the world. That isn’t that popular in America anymore and is a shame.

National polls do not and have never meant a thing. If you want a good look at how things are going, you need to look at the state polls. Because of the way the system is setup, it is possible to win the election even if you did not win the popular vote which is what the national poll will typically reflect. State polls actually have this race closer than what the national polls reflect. Going to be very interesting to see what happens this evening.

Posted by: Otwal | November 4, 2008, 4:51 am 4:51 am

Kevin.. you are so wrong on so many points that I can’t even begin to address each one. But I will address one that I think might make you feel a bit better.. that of Obama being far left, or ‘radical’ as you put it.
When Obama was in Harvard, and was being considered as president of the Law Review, many feared the same thing. It turned out to be completely unfounded, and in fact, the liberals gave him more grief for not supporting them than the right. Here is an excerpt from the PBS Frontline documentary “The Choice – 2008″ relating to that experience, and giving a good insight as to how Obama treats the position of leadership:
=====
LIZA MUNDY: The voting for the presidency was an all-day process in which- it started out in the day with a lot of candidates, and they got basically voted off the island as the day progressed.
KENNETH MACK: One of my most poignant memories of The Law Review election process was late in the process. It’s late at night. We’re trying to figure out how to resolve this thing. Clearly, Barack has a lot of support, but it’s not resolved yet. And a conservative editor who probably disagreed with just about everything that Barack stood for got up and said that he was firmly behind Barack because we were a divided institution, this was the best person to lead the institution and to reach out to all constituencies, even though he had his own political views and made them known.
[...]
NARRATOR: The African-American editors were ecstatic.
BRADFORD BERENSON: I think a lot of the minority editors on The Review expected him to use his discretion to the maximum extent possible to empower them.
CASSANDRA BUTTS, Harvard Law, 1991: There was an expectation on the part of his more progressive colleagues at The Law Review that he would side with them on issues.
BRADFORD BERENSON: Barack was reluctant to do that. It’s not that he was out of sympathy with their views, but his first and foremost goal, it always seemed to me, was to put out a first-rate publication. And he was not going to let politics or ideology get in the way of doing that.
NARRATOR: Only one African-American student received a top editor’s job. Federalist Society members were given three.
CHRISTINE SPURELL: The whole Federalist slate was taking over. I was kind of hoping to get a masthead position, and I did not get a masthead position. I was hurt. I think I would call it very hurt. And I told him so. I mean, certainly, he was aware of how I felt.
BRADFORD BERENSON: I think Barack took 10 times as much grief from those on the left on The Review as from those of us on the right. And the reason was, I think, there was an expectation among those editors on the left that he would affirmatively use his position to advance the cause.

It is a great non-biased look at both candidates, their lives and how they got where they are today. PBS has been airing it pretty much non-stop for the last week or so, so if you can catch it on the tube, it’s worth watching.. you can also get it on-line at the link above along with the transcripts.

Posted by: Concerned American | November 4, 2008, 4:54 am 4:54 am

Kevin,
That was a thoughtful post, even though I don’t agree with all your conclusions – especially with respect to George Bush.
George Bush lied to the world and involved us not only in a pointless war but with attempted nation building in a hopelessly divided Arab nation with no experience in democracy.
This was something he promised in 2000 that he would never do.
He has done absolutely nothing on the domestic front, except play golf.
I agree that McCain is much more to the center than Bush or the usual GOP line. Still, he sold out the center by choosing Palin. If she were any more out in right field, she’s be in the bleechers!
As for Obama, it’s true he’s a bit to the left of center, though easily within arms reach of someone who is, say, in McCain’s range.
The important thing now is to unite the country and start looking into our hearts to restore the basic values which used to make America great.

Posted by: Paul New man | November 4, 2008, 4:57 am 4:57 am

Kevin,
Just one more thought:
We _were_ the best in the world and we can become so again, with leaders who will honestly tell us there’s no free lunch and we can’t be every man for himself any longer.

You daft American Conservatives and Liberals for that matter wouldn’t recognize a Socialist, let alone Communist, if it bit you your a–. America is closer to India than Europe currently. The money spent(wasted) on Iraq should have been used to revamp Americas powergrid, with bridges, tunnels, and roads to follow. That would have put money in Americans pockets and have something to show for it afterwards. MCCain saves it in one hand and throws it out in the other. He is a bully and if he, they McPain & Co, are elected, the suffrage will continue. Vote for him, he is white and Palin is the cheerleader who you always wanted, but never got the chance, to nail in high school all American girl. Arizona is a tax wreck, what happened there Mav? Socialism requires a measure of responsibility, standing up straight for those who cannot, that Americans simply lack. America cannot and never will be Socialist. Its not in there genes. The Republican party have simply taken a word out of context, socialism, and used it to do harm. Very American indeed. Being social, consideration for the country as a whole, is not a bad thing

Posted by: RC | November 4, 2008, 5:00 am 5:00 am

Paul New Man,
You’re so right. They are screwed either way simply because of the fact that they’re americans and live in a country where ~85% of the population are ignorant, egocentrical fools that can’t think, let alone think for themselves.
OK, Obama is probably gonna raise taxes at some point? and so what? It’s not like you don’t need the money. Redistrubution of wealth- Is that a bad thing? NO, you already do that !!! You pay taxes NOW and some of that money goes to fund agencies in the US, some goes to building a defense, some goes to other countries etc.
Just look at other countries that are more socialistic, Canada, U.K., all of the Nordic countries and most of the countries in Western Europe . . .they are all much better places to live and raise a family, work. They don’t nearly have the troubles of the U.S. with people living on the streets, being evicted for not making mortage payments, not being able to put food on the table, having medical coverage . . .the list goes on and on and these are just the basics.
But, yeah America is great! (sarcasm) Let everyone fend for themselves, screw your neighbor as long as you the individual has it good, who cares right? But we’re ALL americans and are suppose to care and help out for fellow citizens . . . but wait a minute, helping eachother so that We all have it good is “socialistic” What a dilema?

Posted by: Keith | November 4, 2008, 5:02 am 5:02 am

And Kevin, as for McCain, don’t paint him as the centrist you think.. Even the ‘Economic’, usually a very conservative and right leaning publication endorses Obama… here is what they say about McCain and his position:
The fiscal conservative who once tackled Mr Bush over his unaffordable tax cuts now proposes not just to keep the cuts, but to deepen them. The man who denounced the religious right as “agents of intolerance” now embraces theocratic culture warriors. The campaigner against ethanol subsidies (who had a better record on global warming than most Democrats) came out in favour of a petrol-tax holiday. It has not all disappeared: his support for free trade has never wavered. Yet rather than heading towards the centre after he won the nomination, Mr McCain moved to the right.

What a dirty campaign McCain. You’re a low down shame to the American Dream. What kind of President will you make carrying your self like that. Surely yours is a “dark heart” with some sentiments like the KKK.
You will not lead America because you are a soldier and just a drone for that matter. Can’t even run a race without putting stumbling blocks in your friends way.
Obama has come not to fight flesh and blood, but spiritual wickedness in high and low places. So while you fight him down, We’ll stand firm and give God thanks and praises.

Posted by: chifwani | November 4, 2008, 5:08 am 5:08 am

Concerned American,
I agree basically with what the Economist says. However, a lot of that was politics on the part of McCain. He had almost no choice but to lean a bit to the right, just as Obama has had to promise a bunch of tax cuts which the country really can’t afford (and he knows it).
I think McCain made two big mistakes which cost him a shot at the election:
(1) Palin
(2) Personal attacks against Obama instead of focusing on the issues
Americans might have pardoned the Palin choice but we were completely turned off by the Bush-Cheney-Rove style of campaigning.

The sad part, since I am voting for McCain, that despite my own opinion, my vote will not count because Obama has already won the election.
The polls they conducted of 1300 voters has dictated it. Our country will follow the direction given. I have never felt so disenfranchised from voting in my life. I am very much against Obama’s policies. I am very afraid of the have notter taken what I have worked to gain. While I live pay check to pay check, I did not go out and get a mortgage I could not afford. I live comfortably. That is why I live paycheck to paycheck, to live comfortably.
Perhaps under the new administration, I should just leave my door open and the keys to my car because we should “spread the wealth” and help our fellow nieghbor. Let him come take what he wants from me. Me, I am too proud to ask from my nieghbor for a hand out.
I sound like sour grapes, but if I am going to lose what I worked for to the Government, why shouldn’t I.

I think 1st of all, tax after all is a type of redistribution wealth, it has been there in the American history whether you call it redistribution or sharing opportunities. I am amazing why Mccain campaign consider as a big deal, if this is take as redistribution who will be hurt only 5% of which Mccain, Bush and Obama themselves will be part of the it the rest of the people like will benefit therefore are Mccain’s supporters as such rich to be touched on this. Lets believe it and 5 % including Bush, Cheneny vote for Mccain the rest of us who need a little help from the governement for our children education and health programs need to vote for Obama and will see if can change the name from Commander in chief to redistribution in cheif as Mccain claims.

you people are so freaking ignorant, you blame republican president for the mess we are in when it was Clinton that signed bills that allowed the people that can not afford homes to buy them, with your wonderful messiah (wack-obama) being the lawyer representing acorn to make it happen. What about the democratic controlled congress, did they not have any part to play in this whole mess. If that idiot gets elected he will be the idiots president not mine, unfortunately I will have to suffer your consiquenses. Obama has nothing to offer but a good snow job, I just pray that congress protects us from this liberal wack-job. Oh wait it will be democrat controlled, we are screwed, God help us!

David,
Don’t worry. When the dust settles, not much is likely to change no matter who gets elected.
I favor Obama but I don’t think he’ll be able to do what he wants because the economy is in ruins. McCain would have his hands tied too.
Keep working for those paychecks. Neither Obama nor McCain would likely take any more of your money, at least for the next 4 years.

Posted by: Paul New man | November 4, 2008, 5:33 am 5:33 am

– “spread the wealth” –
Don’t buy into the rhetoric coming out of the GOP David.. Taxes go to pay government spending such as defense, homeland security, parks and recreation, regulatory and oversight agencies, etc.. The goverment has always included various social programs such as food stamps, EIC, medicare, etc.. and neither Obama or McCain are going to do away with those. However, under McCain, you would pay more taxes so the wealthy could pay less. If you want to think of it in simplistic terms, it is spreading the wealth from the middle class to the upper class.
The problem is, McCains spending proposals would cost roughly twice what Obama has proposed, and he has absolutely no way to pay for that increased spending. He would need to cut substantially more just to catch up to Obama without cutting anything.
So be happy.. you will pay less in taxes under Obama, which will give you more cash to spend, similar to those ‘stimulus’ checks although spread over a longer period of time.

Posted by: Concerned American | November 4, 2008, 5:33 am 5:33 am

george – the ‘mess’ we are in is in part due to our continued large scale deficit spending over the last 8 years forcing us into a recession, combined with the banking deregulation which allowed banks to, for the first time since the 20′s, package and sell mortgages as investments. That deregulation bill was passed in a non-partisan, veto-proof fashion. Pointing blame at either party is inaccurate and simplistic.

If the election came down to You-Tube viewers, a pro-John McCain video would be the winner.
A video of an Iraq veteran giving his endorsement to McCain is the site’s most watched election video, with 11 million views, according to the BBC, which calls it “short, simple and powerful.”
The video opens with a young man with close-cropped hair standing outside in casual clothes next to an American flag.
“Dear Mr. Obama,” he says, and describes himself as an Iraq war veteran, whose yearlong tour convinced him that Iraqis are “just like us” in seeking freedom.
“Are they better off today than they were in 2002? You bet,” he says.
The man proceeds to list the reasons he doesn’t agree with Obama’s policies toward Iraq and instead is endorsing John McCain for president, “because he understands the fundamental truth, freedom is always worth the price.”
The man then walks away from the camera, revealing he has a prosthetic left leg.

A 7-year-old radio interview in which Barack Obama discussed the failure of the Supreme Court to rule on redistributing wealth in its civil rights rulings has given fresh ammunition to critics who say the Democratic presidential candidate has a socialist agenda.
The interview — conducted by Chicago Public Radio in 2001, while Obama was an Illinois state senator and a law professor at the University of Chicago — delves into whether the civil rights movement should have gone further than it did, so that when “dispossessed peoples” appealed to the high court on the right to sit at the lunch counter, they should have also appealed for the right to have someone else pay for the meal.
In the interview, Obama said the civil rights movement was victorious in some regards, but failed to create a “redistributive change” in its appeals to the Supreme Court, led at the time by Chief Justice Earl Warren. He suggested that such change should occur at the state legislature level, since the courts did not interpret the U.S. Constitution to permit such change.
“The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of basic issues of political and economic justice in this society, and to that extent as radical as people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical,” Obama said in the interview, a recording of which surfaced on the Internet over the weekend.
“It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as it has been interpreted.
“And the Warren court interpreted it generally in the same way — that the Constitution is a document of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf, and that hasn’t shifted.
“And I think one of the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the civil rights movement became so court-focused, I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still suffer from that,” Obama said.
The 2001 interview evokes recent questioning by Joe “The Plumber” Wurzelbacher, the Ohio man who asked Obama about his proposal to raise taxes on people making more than $250,000. Obama told Wurzelbacher he wants to hike taxes on the wealthy so that the government can spread the wealth.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said Monday the comments on the tape have “nothing to do with Obama’s economic plan or his plan to give the middle class a tax cut.”
“Here are the facts. In the interview, Obama went into extensive detail to explain why the courts should not get into that business of ‘redistributing’ wealth. Obama’s point — and what he called a tragedy — was that legal victories in the civil rights led too many people to rely on the courts to change society for the better. That view is shared by conservative judges and legal scholars across the country,” Burton said..
“As Obama has said before and written about, he believes that change comes from the bottom up — not from the corridors of Washington. … And so Obama’s point was simply that if we want to improve economic conditions for people in this country, we should do so by bringing people together at the community level and getting everyone involved in our democratic process,” Burton continued.
John McCain’s campaign said the tape proves that Obama is too liberal for the White House.
Now we know that the slogans ‘change you can believe in’ and ‘change we need’ are code words for Barack Obama’s ultimate goal: ‘redistributive change,’” said McCain-Palin senior policy adviser Doug Holtz-Eakin.
“Barack Obama expressed his regret that the Supreme Court hadn’t been more ‘radical’ and described as a ‘tragedy’ the court’s refusal to take up ‘the issues of redistribution of wealth.’ No wonder he wants to appoint judges that legislate from the bench,” Holtz-Eakin continued.
National Review reporter Byron York, a FOX News contributor, said the U.S. government already has a progressive tax system that gives money earned by one group to another group, but it’s a matter of degree. He added that Obama’s outlook on that system hasn’t changed.
“It seems clear from listening to this that the Obama of 2001 and probably the Obama of today feels that the government doesn’t do that enough, and I think that’s probably the big point in this tape,” York said.
“You’ve got to take him at his word,” York added. “It seems to me that the tape shows that this is simply a goal he has had for a long time.”
In a speech in Cleveland on Monday, McCain said the Obama interview is just another indication that the Democrat wants to increase sharply the amount of government spending.
“Today, he claims he will only tax the rich. But we’ve seen in the past that he’s willing to support taxes that hit people squarely in the middle class, and with a trillion dollars in new spending, the most likely outcome is that everyone who pays taxes will be paying for his spending,” McCain said.

The Los Angeles Times is refusing to release a videotape that it says shows Barack Obama praising a Chicago professor who was an alleged mouthpiece for the Palestine Liberation Organization while it was a designated terrorist group in the 1970s and ’80s.
According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April, Obama was a “friend and frequent dinner companion” of Rashid Khalidi, who from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from Beirut with the PLO.
Click here to read the original LA Times story: ‘Palestinians See a Friend in Barack Obama.’
In the article — based on the videotape obtained by the Times — Wallsten said Obama addressed an audience during a 2003 farewell dinner for Khalidi, who was Obama’s colleague at the University of Chicago, before his departure for Columbia University in New York. Obama said his many talks with Khalidi and his wife Mona stood as “consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases.”

OBAMA’S MILITANT RACISM REVEALED
In her senior thesis at Princeton , Michele Obama, the wife of Barack Obama
stated that America was a nation founded on ‘crime and hatred’.
Moreover, she stated that whites in America were ‘ineradicably racist’. The
1985 thesis, titled ‘Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community’ was
written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson.
Michelle Obama stated in her thesis that to ‘Whites at Princeton , it often
seems as if, to them, she will always be Black first…’ However, it was reported
by a fellow black classmate, ‘If those ‘Whites at Princeton ‘ really saw Michelle
as one who always would ‘be Black first,’ it seems that she gave them that
impression’.
Most alarming is Michele Obama’s use of the terms ‘separationist’ and
‘integrationist’ when describing the views of black people.
Mrs. Obama clearly identifies herself with a ‘separationist’ view of race.
‘By actually working with the Black lower class or within their communities as
a result of their ideologies, a separationist may better understand the desperation
of their situation and feel more hopeless about a resolution as opposed to an
integrationist who is ignorant to their plight.’
Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to
her ‘further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure
that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full
participant.’
Michele Obama clearly has a chip on her shoulder.
Not only does she see separate black and white societies in America , but she elevates black over white in her world.
Here is another passage that is uncomfortable and ominous in meaning:
‘There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black
community, I am obligated to this community and will utilize
all of my present and future resources to benefit the black
community first and foremost.’
What is Michelle Obama planning to do with her future resources if she’s first
lady that will elevate black over white in America ?
The following passage appears to be a call to arms for affirmative action
policies that could be the hallmark of an Obama administration.
‘Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically
designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of
their enrollments.’
The conclusion of her thesis is alarming.
Michelle Obama’s poll of black alumni concludes that other black students
at Princeton do not share her obsession with blackness. But rather than
celebrate, she is horrified that black alumni identify with our common
American culture more than they value the color of their skin. ‘I hoped that
these findings would help me conclude that despite the high degree of
identification with whites as a result of the educational and occupational
path that black Princeton alumni follow, the alumni would still maintain a
certain level of identification with the black community. However, these
findings do not support this possibility.’
Is it no wonder that most black alumni ignored her racist questionnaire?
Only 89 students responded out of 400 who were asked for input.
Michelle Obama does not look into a crowd of Obama supporters and see
Americans. She sees black people and white people eternally conflicted
with one another.
The thesis provides a trove of Mrs. Obama’s thoughts and
world view seen through a race-based prism. This is a very
divisive view for a potential first lady that would do untold
damage to race relations in this country in a Barack Obama
administration.
Michelle Obama’s intellectually refined racism should give all
Americans pause for deep concern.
Now maybe she’s changed, but she sure sounds like someone with an axe to
grind with America . Will the press let Michelle get a free pass over her obviously
racist comment about American whites? I am sure that it will.
PS: We paid for her scholarship.

I shouldn’t be surprised that nobody agrees, but I am because I had some hope that one voice could change things.
I have nobody behind me to back me up so I might as well be not saying anything at all.
George Bush screwed up. He didn’t veto the 700 billion dollar bail out as he should. If he really believed in the free market he would say, “They screwed up and now they have to deal with the consequences.” He didn’t fight hard enough to stop them from collapsing either. If he only spoke louder in 2003 and 2005 maybe somebody might have heard him and saved Fanny and Freddie.
Did George Bush make the US not a superpower anymore? No. Have the past 10 years been hard? Yeah. Is America the best country in the world? If you answer anything other than yes you sure as hell better live in another country. I mean, it is quite disheartening to hear that when times get rough Americans lose allegiance to their nation. Though, I know there are many people who think that the american flag can be offensive and all they know about America is how we’re the bad guy. On any issue, we’re evil. Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Free trade, negative liberty’s, the cold war, or even having a volunteer military. We’re the evil fascist empire trying to impose our freedoms on those who don’t want it. If we were only benevolent like Europe. Certain sects in California have always been infatuated with socialist leaders like Il Duce, Fidel Castro, or Hugo Chavez. Their infatuation is only because of their own ignorance. Who needs Adam Smith when you have Karl Marx? Our educations have been faulty for preparing us for anything, especially thinking for ourselves. The only truth is the truth of large numbers. We once had an American Dream. We didn’t want to fulfill our part of the bargain to continue it. Martin Luther King Jr had a dream. Dreams of unity, something that nobody wants or care for anymore. We can’t blame the Republicans for slavery because history shows their role in it. After all they were the party of opposition. Only opposing the Democratic party. You see, Jefferson Davis wasn’t a Republican and Jim Crow was something the Republicans fought. They barely got the 14th and 15th amendments to pass because of the bigoted racist democratic party. It was Justice Earl Warren who helped overturn separate but equal, something the Democratic south didn’t like. Earl Warren was nominated by Eisenhower, a republican, who received a vote from a nice southern preacher Martin Luther King Jr. Once upon a time black people voted republican, but when the democrats decided to be the opposition of the republican party and the free(and fair) market they were wooed over. Now 90 percent of black people vote for the democratic party, an extremely shocking number. The Republicans are bigots, who only want to keep their money safe and haven’t cared to woo back the black vote. Reagan didn’t leave the democratic party, it left him. The republican party didn’t leave black people, they left it. That being said I doubt I’ll have changed anyone’s mind. I doubt I could, after all I don’t promise you anything you didn’t earn.

I’m SO sick and tired of people saying that the candidate with the most electoral votes, (but not the popular vote), STEALS the election! People – elections are based on the electoral college – PERIOD! It’s been that way for longer than we’ve been alive! Gore people said it, Hillary said it – like they JUST figured out that the popular vote means nothing. If you don’t like it, write to your congress and tell ‘em so – BUT – don’t call it stealing – those are the rules!

Why is the incredibly stupid people keep talking? Obama is not going to gut the consitution, he never ever said anything at any time in any place to any person that indicated he is going to even think about socialism and he is not running around with terrorists. You morons who keep repeating those ridiculous lies are just plain stupidheads. You are dumb, you are ignorant and you are uninformed. You don’t think but want someone to spoonfeed you. Please for the sake of the WORLD, stay the f#%^K home and do not vote you dumb pieces of crap!

Common Sense —- regarding your 8:50PM post… I can quite easily pick apart such weak assumptive reasoning regarding partisan-based stock market performance. It could easily be argued that the gains or losses observed over time in the stock market are reactive phenomenon and that policies put into place during one administration may not yield their effect until much later therfore causing undue credit to be given. Further… whichever party dominates the congress will also have a direct effect on whether budgetary changes are even enacted in the first place.

I am not sure about about paying less in taxes. According to CNN, of what they ran of the tax plan of McCain and Obama, based on my joint filign rate of 66K, I would get an extra $200 savings in income tax compared to Obama.
But your right, no matter what happens today, the idiot who get elected (and you have to be to want the punching bag of the country) will not be able to change much without the approval of congress. But the sad part is if the country crys loud enough they will pass the bill.
My other concern is the how much a wise decision that Obama will make as CINC. With Russian bombers overflying our carriers and challenging our borders and a depressed Russian economy, makes me wonder if we won’t see something similiar to Germany’s invasion of Europe due to economical reasons. I hope the running Idiot thinks smartly before he leaps. While there are second chances at home, there are none in International Diplomacy.

The polls have come a long way since the days of Dewey defeats Truman. The polls are more accurate nowadays and the constant updating of them will help settle the disputes.
ALL the polls all the time are pointing to an Obama/Biden Victory. If this comes to a tie, then we will be pretty certain that someone is messing with the votes. Should be pretty close to a landslide for Obama/Biden.

For the sake of our country and its fundemental values, I hope and pray that the polls are wrong. The outcome of this election will result in either punishment or blessing for America. The most important issues are moral ones. If America elects a candidate who has no regard for the pursuit of human life (such as killing unborn children), no protection for liberty (spreading-the-wealth-around socialism, which discourages and punishes success) and proven bad military judgment, America will be in for a very rough ride. The economy will be the least of our worries. How could anyone believe a man who not only fits the above description but publicly lies to the Amercian people regulary? Obama’s word is no better than the polls-completely unreliable.

Posted by: Daniel James | November 4, 2008, 7:31 am 7:31 am

Well, the day is here that I have been waiting for. I voted last week for obama and I feel like I should know who is the winner. My ever nagging fear is of the repubs stealing this election. It is what they are best at. They were masters of it in 2000 in PB county. Personally if all these polls are wrong, the American public should start a revolution. This is supposed to be the land of the free, not the land of Republicans who will do anything to rule. After eight years of Bush/cheney, you have to be either a die hard republican (who votes repub no matter who or what is running), have been asleep/in a cave for the past eight years, stupid, or (I hate to say this) a racist, not to vote Obama/Biden. I am watching tv right now with the long lines of voters here in fl. I agree with Rachel Maddow, this ridiculous voting system we have equates to a poll tax. We need real voting reform and we needed it yesterday. JMO

I’ve posted on these pages my personal guestimate, based on my thorough grounding in “The Theory of Error” as it’s calculated on the multivariable calculus level, that the polls are not being truthful when they claim +/- 2%. It’s more like +/- 6% for each candidate, meaning you can’t tell who’s ahead unless one is more than 12% ahead of the other. I base that on the polls released the day before primaries as well as the major national polls that are released simultaneously yet are often much different.

How will Obama invest in America and create jobs for Americans? How exactly? By bribing big businesses in his pocket with money? Whats to stop more ‘bankruptcy for profit’ from these companies. Whats to stop the big CEO’s from taking the money and using it for big bonuses for themselves and keep outsourcing? Find one piece of proof that Obama can live up to that promise. Or is the auto industry and our jobs forever doomed to cutbacks? What happens if we lose the Iraq war because of Obama. They will cut military spending on our soldiers (our family members) armor! Cut it by 25%??? To save who? Who gets that money? Obama and Barney Frank and Pelosi and a 2nd bailout? Come on! We need to win the war and take back our jobs.
OBAMA IS A CANCER ON THE USA AND WE HAVE JUST ONE CHANCE TO REMOVE HIM NOW NOV 4th. Its not like congress. We dont get a ‘do-over’ on the vote. The United States of Cuba? Just saying it makes me want to spit on the ground! OK now think hard people be rational about whats going on in the USA today. The auto industry is failing. Jobs have already left for overseas or gone to cheap labor. How will “Castrobama” put those things back. Its like trying to rebuild detroit it will never be the same. Japanese car makers are scaling back too. Ever wonder why everyone in Cuba drives an old car? They dont make them there either so they are too much money. Everyone but the government is poor. Obama claims he can get us more jobs but how? Pay off big companies to hire us? Wont they keep the money for bonuses? The guys middle name is “Hussein”. You claim to support him and be a patriot and want to help the USA? Shame on you. The Revolutionary War, The Civil War, Korea, ,Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq dont you see war with Iran coming? Who do you want in charge? Our country was based on wars for liberty, civil rights and freedom. What country are you from? I am from the USA. There arent as many jobs. Pick up a newspaper today! See how many jobs there are? Who is hiring? Its November before Christmas 2008! Wake up!!! Here are some great democrat-related words to remember. Clinton, Vince Foster, Whitewater, Edwards, Jennifer Flowers, Monica, Obama, Biden, Barney Frank, Pelosi, Congress. Think where you want the future of your country to be? Think rational about reality now today. Who is really going to help you but yourself. Not Obama.. Vote for McCain. You will be happy you did when Iran invades Israel next year or threatens them with nukes. These are the tests facing our next President. Think what the enemy will do if they think the President is weak or indecisive? Castro said he would bring change to Cuba and resdistribute wealth to the poor! Now in Cuba only the government is rich! No one else is allowed to be rich. You cant afford a new car or house and they dont make them there anymore either! Chavez, Amedinejad they all love and want to speak to Obama right away!
You have got to understand if Obama is elected he will be sort of like Fidel Castro. If no one in the USA is allowed to be rich we will ALL be poor just like in Cuba where no one can afford a new car anymore never mind a new house. He also used cocaine in his 20′s would you hire him if he said that in a job interview? If foreign investors like China and other countries see him as the ‘tax man’ they will no longer invest in America and start investing where its cheaper and more lucrative for them. When the war ends not only the soldiers will be out of work, but all the companies that supply the military will also have massive layoffs thereby hurting the economy even worse. THE COUNTRY IS AT WAR!!! THE WAR IS KEEPING THE USA ALIVE ECONOMICALLY. It employs millions and millions of workers. It generates trillions of dollars for our current economy. Its why we arent in a depression yet! Also the Dems and Barney Frank want to cut military spending by as much as 25% (but not end the war) so this would leave our troops leaving them in harms way these cuts mean they dont get the extra armor for vehicles or body armor etc. For our troops to be outgunned and under armored means we lose the war! America needs to be ready to win the war we are in and any future war. I dont see Obama as a war time leader he is more of a Jimmy Carter. I like the Halloween candy analogy ‘redistribution of wealth’ means one kid go’s out and gets all the candy but has to SHARE all the candy with his brothers and sisters (leaving him not so rich). I dont want to live in the “United States of Cuba” ask any Cuban what its like to live under Castro. Also Obama lies! He even lied about his own Aunt. If he doesnt know about his own Aunt do you want him in charge of national securty???Vote McCain!!! Do you think the terrorists and Islamic Fundamentalists we are at war with will ever surrender?? They have been at war with each other for centuries!! Your childrens and their childrens future hinges on your vote. Vote for a safe USA and world! Vote McCain!

You have confused the tenure of service with an ability to provide good service and they are not the same thing. Forget McCain. Its over. Landslide is in the forecast. Remember these words:
Yes we can change.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can seize our future.
And as we leave this state with a new wind at our backs, and take this journey across the country we love with the message we’ve carried from the plains of Iowa to the hills of New Hampshire; from the Nevada desert to the South Carolina coast; the same message we had when we were up and when we were down – that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope; and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people in three simple words:
Yes. We. Can

Yes, the electoral college selects the president. But assume one candidate wins the popular vote, and his party makes gains seats in both the Senate and House, but this candidate is not selected as the next president. Do you actually think the person who IS the next president would be able to be an effective leader? Do you actually think that he would be able to advance his platform?

Posted by: John | November 4, 2008, 8:59 am 8:59 am

If the polls are wrong it could be because of people like me. I didn’t vote in the primary why? Because I wasn’t a fan of any of my options. However I did vote McCain in the general. Lesser of two evils in my opinion. Unfortunately I believe whoever becomes president will have a hard time getting our country back on track.
I live in an Obama leaning state but I know quite a few people who haven’t participated in politics before who are now doing so. McCain probably still won’t win in my state but I believe it will be much closer than people think. I hope that people don’t immediately jump to the conclusion that the Republicans cheated if they win close states or even ones leaning towards Obama. I think that because there have been so many early votes it will encourage republican voters who hadn’t planed to vote, to go and cast their votes as well especially in places where its closer than you would expect.

Where I live there are more Independents then democrats and republicans put together.
I’m an independent, yesterday I received a poll call, one of about 30 over the weekend, I decided this time to take the poll question(s).
They asked who I voted for, which I answered (McCain), it then became apparent that it was an answer they didn’t want.
She then asked, not another question but where exactly I lived.
She then declared that I was out of the polling area and that it ended on the east side of my street not the west side where I live. BTW it’s the same district. Wonder how often that happens?

Yes I settled. Why? Because there are no good options! There currently are Zero presidential candidates that I would happily support. I didn’t vote in 2004 for the same reason. But I regret that I didn’t cast a vote. My choice not to vote didn’t send any messages that I wasn’t happy with my choices. It was only one less vote for the lesser of two evils. Some progress is better than none. I wish I didn’t have to settle but at the moment I do. I hope that we will someday have politicians who will be able to make smart choices that represent the nation rather than their party. For now I have to settle.

Sorry reagannomics or trickle down economics is what has destroyed this country and bled the middle class dry.
We need better wealth distribution, not a system that creates more wealth and power control for the already wealthy.
If the republican mindset about the economy is correct then why have we had 4 recessions in the last 25 years always during a republican president.
The fact is if the majority of Americans have more money to spend then all the businesses will earn more money and they will create new jobs from the profits caused by the additional income that the middle and lower classes have.
If the republicans win they will continue tax breaks for the wealthy who will pocket the money and put it in their rainy day fund creating little to no jobs and stimulating nothing causing an even larger downturn in the economy.
But give the money to those will spend it is the only intelligent way to stimulate the economy. if the middle andlower classes do not have money to spend then nothing works.
Obamas plan to create infrastructure that can’t be outsourced is brilliant. We also get tyhe added benefit of green energy and mass transit. Plus Obama is the one who wants to stimulate the auopt industry with 15 billion for cars that make sense, which will create many jobs and opportunities.
I just cannot see how McCains plan makes any sense at all. Obvioulsy the mass majority of Americans also do not believe in MCCains “Republican” trickle donw reaganomic scam system that rewards those who do not need more money and punishes the workers by not creating anything but McJobs for the citizens while more jobs get offloaded and those companies get rewarded for doing so.
Today we witmess the death of the republican party

Posted by: Americans against stupidity | November 4, 2008, 9:51 am 9:51 am

I think money spent and media interest, rather than the polls, are more indicative of who will win any election. If that is the case, then, of course Obama, will win. But as a blue leaning independent voter in a very red state, I think many folks around the country are living in a fantasy world – the media included. Anyone who thinks this is going to be a landslide for Obama has forgotten that Clinton actually got more votes in the primaries against Obama and time and time again, she proved an unprecedentedly biased media, that Americans don’t always follow the pundits. I do hope Obama wins, but I don’t necessarily think it’s going to be a sure thing and, if by some chance, McCain is the winner, I don’t think it will have anything to do with voter fraud. I think we’ll have the media to blame for giving the public a skewed “opinion based” election viewpoint instead of a fact based view of election.

quote from robert:
“If the polls are wrong? Then America we have a problem. This country is very diverse with all races and colors. Now at the McCain rally you only see the color white and maybe some spec of other colors. Now at the Obama rallies you see all races and colors in an attendance. Now if McCain win can we honestly say that all those other races combined with the white race do not represent the majority of the voting public. If McCain win it just something wrong with that picture.”
well robert. let me educate you. the minorities of this country altogether make up 30% of the population. 93% of them are liberal. our country always hovers close to 50/50 on political views. therefore the majority of obama supporters are people of color not white. once you throw the white union workers and white treehuggers into the liberal mix we have a horse race.
the conservative movement is 97% white. the bottom line is that the minorities vote liberal for the entitlements and handhouts. the dems want them to stay poor uneducated and democratic. if you rise up and become succesful in life you realize how much the govt. really takes away from your hardwork to hand the lazy leeches of society your hard earned money!

Posted by: marty | November 4, 2008, 10:03 am 10:03 am

Obama wants to spread the wealth around so basically he wants to take money from hardworking people and give it to the people who choose to sit home and expect everyone else to pay for them. I’m sorry but this is not right!! If you truly work hard for your money why should you have to pay for this?? Why don’t these people stop being lazy get a job and make there own money! John McCain has the right idea! And by the way I am not some rich republican I am a college student with not a lot of money but I am working hard to have a successful life and when I do make money and will not want to hand it over to pay someone’s welfare check! Vote McCain!

Always amusing how the marxist “wealth distribution” advocates love to bash “trickle down” economics, but fail to remember how poorly their “trickle up” theories have ALWAYS performed. The logic goes.. Let’s take away all of a business’s profits and give it to the poor. That way the poor can buy products from the business.. so we can again take away their profits. It’s idiotic. No business is going to expand under that system, and anbybody that can get the hell out of the country is going to do it. Obama’s plan of punishing businesses to create jobs shows just how clueless the man really is, and why inexperience really is a problem.

Obama wants to spread the wealth around so basically he wants to take money from hardworking people and give it to the people who choose to sit home and expect everyone else to pay for them. I’m sorry but this is not right!! If you truly work hard for your money why should you have to pay for this?? Why don’t these people stop being lazy get a job and make there own money! John McCain has the right idea! And by the way I am not some rich republican I am a college student with not a lot of money but I am working hard to have a successful life and when I do make money and will not want to hand it over to pay someone’s welfare check! Vote McCain!–
If you really are a college student(which I doubt) you are showing the sad conditions of our schools. Maybe you haven’t noticed the hundreds of thousands of job losses that have occurred recently. These are not welfare people but folks who have worked hard for their dollar and now need to know which way to turn. What is McCain’s idea to help?

Tom B -
I love that you get your news and information from You Tube and Fox News. That makes me consider you an expert, especially when you cut and paste some of that fascinatin info into small comment boxes.
You should be a newscaster because you go straight for the facts. And I bet you are a good moose hunter, too.

Well, of course. This is a fluff piece to get people to think that Steffi or ABC is not biased in any way. Gee, what if we’re wrong? But most likely we’re not.
What tripe. Steffi is no analyst. There is nothing ABC has done in the past two years that even suggests analysis. It has been one big Obama propaganda machine.
What a bunch of phonies. Time to get into a new business. There’s no news at ABC.

well robert. let me educate you. the minorities of this country altogether make up 30% of the population. 93% of them are liberal. our country always hovers close to 50/50 on political views. therefore the majority of obama supporters are people of color not white. once you throw the white union workers and white treehuggers into the liberal mix we have a horse race.
the conservative movement is 97% white. the bottom line is that the minorities vote liberal for the entitlements and handhouts. the dems want them to stay poor uneducated and democratic. if you rise up and become succesful in life you realize how much the govt. really takes away from your hardwork to hand the lazy leeches of society your hard earned money!
Marty-Please get your numbers right before you spout off ignorance. It is amazing how folks will try to hide their true beliefs with made up numbers and percentages. Anyone who does not agree with you is an entitlement hungry minority or a confused white tree hugging union worker. Now who is the one that is really uneducated

The Big Business Fatcats have figured out how to best ‘Bleed Off’ the monetary gains in a ‘trickle-down’ economic approach. If you don’t believe that, just look at the CEO’s etc. with their ungodly ‘Golden Parachutes’ and benefits whilst they artfully beg for government aide to keep their failing companies afloat! Even when you manage to dethrone one of them, they drift off into Nirvana while the company hires YET ANOTHER CEO, who they have to ALSO PAY and offer them their own ‘Golden Parachute’. Wow! They get to pay for TWO of those leeches in the best interests of their company (Usually for more than one year as part of their ‘Golden Parachute’).
Often, the exiting CEO is hired into YET ANOTHER company that seeks to learn how to more effectively plunder their profits from the company assets (Including the employees 401Ks) by leveraging their personal experience.
The sad thing is that they do all of this LEGALLY under current administration policies and under McCain it will only continue. The rich will grow richer at the expense of the common man.
Yes, the big corporations will ‘punish’ the common man and say, “I TOLD YOU SO, LITTLE MAN!” if Obama wins and manages to reverse the tax burden to where it used to be.
The stock markets will probably rise due to their influence today (Must make the economy look strong today. We want McCain to look like he is right.) Only to drop drastically on the morrow no matter who wins as they rake off their profits and the die is cast. All they can do is profit from this in the short term which is what they care about. McCain wins, they win. Obama wins, they blame the drop on him too.
I really hope the common man will let his voice be heard today and end this tyranny. It will be a painful, but needed change. We have suffered enough and I for one foresee more suffering before it gets better but it will be for a good cause.
I want a President that represents THE PEOPLE not some big business that is only interested in ITSELF.
Let’s get America (God bless her!) back on track! Vote for CHANGE! Vote OBAMA!

We can say no to 8 years of failed Republican policies…tax breaks for the super rich, war in Iraq costing 10 billion a month, squandered corporate welfare, inept foreign relations, decaying infrastructure, inadequate disaster response, millions without healthcare. Obama has the depth of thought to consider the complexities of the issues at hand. It took 8 years to sew these seeds. The democrats in Congress for the last 2 years have been fought ruthlessly by Republicans (who were paid by Fannie Mae to stop beneficial financial legislation). We need to stop the stalemate and filibusters and get to work solving these problems. Vote Democratic.

It appears that Obama will be a greater political genius than Karl Rove if this election turns out to be as the polls predicted. Only a month ago, the race between Obama and McCain was nearly even. After the October’s economic meltdown, Obama tried hard to blame everything on the lack of regulation by Bush and McCain, while not mentioning the subprime mortgage failures as the root cause of meltdown, in which ACORN, Obama’s favorite grass root organization, served as an enforcer of the reckless mortgage lending

WHO ARE KOOL-AID DRINKERS? They are Hilary voters going McCain/Palin. What kind of freaky, women stalkers are you? Hilary and Palin are on opposite sides of the woman’s rights spectrum.
If you’re for Palin now, you were never for Hilary. So when you were at Hilary rally’s, listening to her speak, did you have your iPod on? I may be one of the few Liberals who doesn’t have anything against Palin. My views are simply different than hers. I’m hoping a Hilary voter who’s now McCain/Palin can explain to me how you twist your personal ideology like that? What it really means is that you don’t stand for anything, you just like being part of the in-crowd. Perhaps you were left out as a child or had to eat lunch alone at school. Now you just bounce around, with no direction, because you’re not really educated and are looking for friends.
Seriously, all you “I was Hillary now I’m McCain/Palin” losers need to get a life. It doesn’t even make sense. I’ve heard very few points where those 2 ladies agree (and don’t ask me to name the points because I don’t think i could but I’m just giving it the benefit of the doubt).

These people think that mocking FOX NEWS channel will lessen the growth of this fair and balanced news source, which they have abandon this type of presentation of news for what seems like a generation. They lie, cover-up, ignore, twist, mutilate, interpret, and feel the events of our time to their own iddeology and candidate. This media in the future will be read at the checkout lines at the Wal-mart with hollywood magazines in the future if we remain a Republic, where they can prey on the feeble minded that don’t check out the facts through various means now a days.
#2 George Bush 2 the worst president in my opine to have slept through the worst financial event to engulf our times; from pip-pro-quo for the oil companies, allowing the oil boys to close down over 50 refiniers in 8 yrs to bottle neck the fuel market, to starting a war that turned basically the world against us, those who didn’t like us before, hate us now, to instructing the FED in 2001-2 to bring down interest rates to nothing which caused this melt down to happen and fiddling while the nation burned and then instructs the FED to do the same thing that got us in this shape to begin with(cheap money) lower interest rates again.

All of these greedy little pigs saying “Obama will gimme what’s mine (even though I didn’t work for it)” will see what happens when you kick the “evil” rich out of a country.

However, in my dream, he was helping Iraq and North Korea finish developing their nuclear technology. The end result was a nuclear war (WWIII) destroying all life on earth. I so desparately wanted to protect my children in my dream. I felt helpless. All I could do is sit and watch everyone and everything die. Just horrible. I woke up this morning and went to the poll as soon as it opened and voted for McCain. Too much about obama that is not truthful nor trustworthy. My dream was not that far fetched. McCain is the only one who we can trust to protect us and our children.

Yes, what will happen will be determined at the polls, but we’re missing the key ingredient which will happen if this is all we’re doing to be informed.
If you leave out the CREATOR Of The Land, what can one expect?
“If my people who are called by MY NAME, will humble themselves AND pray AND SEEK MY FACE, THEN WILL I HEAR from HEAVEN and HEAL Their Land”!
The Creator is more than capable of moving the Heart of a PERSON who (KEY)consults HIM FIRST =to humble oneself…(KEY)PUTS HIM FIRST, (before the media and any person’s opinion),then We have the PROMISE (cause and effect, reap what you sow)of a HEALED LAND. When you forget and take your eyes off the SOURCE of OUR FAVOR, that’s when we are doomed and not until then!
I have to say, I’ve watched everything from day one and read everything possible from the most “educated” to the simplest thoughts that I’ve come across and wonder where our Discernment as a Nation has gone.
When have we EVER in “history” voted for someone, anyone, as our President/V.P./Sec of State or any High ranking office, that didn’t want to Salute our Flag or Pledge Alligiance to OUR COUNTRY or say in their own writings “I’d ere on the side of the Muslims”… etc.? Who removes all FIFTY stars from the Flag of the U.S.A. and we would still vote someone who does that, into the Highest office?

I did not see any comments about the 60′s in this blog. Does any one remember the 60′s and the riots against an unjust war. Maybe obama should ask his friend ayers about the riots, bombings, shootings and especially the death of walter schroder in l972. I would only hope that people do not elect him. HE is an empty suit. All talk and no action, no game plan & we will be under marshal law in february 2009. I really have a problem with him taking the oath of office on the bible and promising to ‘protect & defend’ the consititution of the united states when he finds it old, outdated and useless document – little hyprocatal (?? on spelling) – we will all be wearing bar codes on our arms – sound familiar? only told what to do, when to do it, & where to do it.

Interesting perspective George. If McCain wins, are the polls wrong or did the participants lie? I would suggest the participants lied. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is he is black and many folks voted against him for that reason. Might I suggest that they didn’t want to tell the pollsters they weren’t voting for BO because they were afraid to be labeled bigot. What I suspect is that whenever we are split in making a decision we choose the side we are most comfortable with and we are most comfortable with those who look like us. Its tough to get outside one’s comfort zone unless we are very sure. I for one am sure BO is the right man at the right time for America. Just hoping enough others think so as well.

If you choose your candidates based on such shallow and uninformed criteria, do America a favor by staying out of the voting booth.

For all of those backstabbers who were Hillary supporters and are now on McCain’s side?
Simply because a man is 1/2 black you choose to vote for someone much dumber than our current president, and alongside him, an even dumber, semester per college woman. Hillary i sbacking Obama you idiots, so it’s obvious your eyes are wide shut, simply because of color.
You should be ashamed! Thank God Obama is going to win.
Now, practice saying it – President Obama! President Obama.

My prayer all day is “God have mercy on us and show yourself strong” How an American can vote for a man who says he has compassion but his brother lives in a hut in Africa and he has nothing to with his Aunt in the slums don’t believe he cares for any of you. I fear what will happen if he is elected. This nation will no longer be the Free American we know it as today.

Tom-
If you voted for Obama, please do discontinue “working to do [your] part to make America and the world a little bit better”. You are doing the entire world a disservice.

I live in Southern California. I was very fortunate in the fact that I only had to wait for 45 minutes to vote today. I insisted that they check my ID as I do every time I have ever voted. Amazingly they seem bewildered that I insist they see my ID… I could vote as long as I knew the name and address of a registered voter and they had not voted yet… My daughter, who lives in Virginia, waited 3 1/2 hours to vote today… and she would have waited 8 hours… it is that important. I for one feel less safe now with Big Brother (Homeland Security) running around violating anyone and everyone’s civil rights, I refuse to allow ANYONE in the government to force me to make decisions based on fear… I am not a battered woman, but one who will fight for my rights, I still have not gotten my slice of the pie from the trickle down effect (when can I expect to recieve that Mr. McCain and Mrs. Palin?) and am apolled that there are females and Citizens of the United States of America who think that Palin is a great choice for VP when all she REALY wants is for Alaska to seceed from the United States so she can be the Queen… LOL… Seriously, she insults me as a hard working, single parent, female.

To get an accurate poll you need to poll at least 4000 individuals who are “likely voters”, not “registered voters”.
The pollsters simply did not have the time to poll more than about 900 people and the sample consisted mostly of “registerd voters”.
Obviously there were SOME pollsters who did not want to take polls but wanted to use some ammunition against the Republicans so they polled 60% Democrats and 40% Republicans and, what a surprise! The result is Obama is ahead by 10%.
How many of these polls can we trust? Well, I say why not wait until tomorrow to see.

My hair stylist was voting for Hillary and now is voting for McCain, so don’t tell me there are not democrats who changed over, because they believe this is one of the most important elections ever, and we can’t take a chance on Obama. He says he will bring change, and that terrifies me! He’s not talking about the economy, he’s talking about everything of morality and integrity this nation has ever stood for, which our forefathers founded this country on. God help us if Obama wins. Pray he won’t.

Oh, I should change my informed vote because a hairstylist is voting for McCain, so I should too? Wow, no. And “God help us if Obama wins”?! That tells me you are truly not a Christian. Do you even read the Bible? Only HE can judge, not you. Even if Obama were Muslim (which he’s not), God is supposed to be the judge of who will be saved and let into his kingdom, NOT you. As a young Christian I am glad that my generation is also knowledgeable, of faith, AND tolerant, all the things which earlier generations show they are not. Such hate-filled postings from people like you. What will you say to God when it is your turn to be judged, and he points out your utter hatred of another man? What will you say then?

What you say is NOT true, and saying it doesn’t MAKE it true. “McCain thinks the way for America to prosper is to leave Americans with more of their income” How? By taxing health care? THat’s leaving us with more of our money. By giving tax breaks to the wealthy? That’s taking from the poor and giving to the rich. By giving tax breaks to the big oil companyies. That’s more of the same.
AND…
You posted the same message twice under 2 different names!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Obama loses , it will not be because of voting machines, it will be because the news of his own actions and choices was seen and heard.
Over spending will not buy voters via an Onetwork on TV.
Leaving relatives to starve, and lack of empathy reveals a different man than the speech writers made him out to be.
Seeing all of his friends under the bus, and broken promises about campaign spending do not make Americans think he has a credible case to present to us.
The Narcissistic Personality Disorder over taking the World Series was not a healthy display.

With the tricks at the polls, the machines not working, paper ballots, not enough pens, and whatever else can be concocted, in the minority neighborhoods to keep us from voting, it’s too soon to tell who will come out on top. I see another Florida fiasco. There are numerous reports of voting sites with suspect malfunctions. I bet there are no malfunctions happening in affluent neighborhoods

How many of you know how your state’s electoral vote will be cast? How many of you are aware that not all states require their electors to vote according to the popular vote? Check ou this site:

Mortimer — you are missing the point. It’s about intelligence and judgment. A preposterous pick for VP? Financial advisor in the form of Phil Gramm, the architect of the financial meltdown? McCain wants to win so badly he doesn’t care what he does, or says, and is willing to throw slime and pander to the bitter end. Poor Mortimer. Wake up.

Hey RJ — that pilot you want to ‘fly the jet’ crashed three planes hotdoggging before ditching it into that lake in Vietnam. How much did that cost the taxpayers. Read up on him — unpredictable, cranky, self serving opportunist. Plus his VP pick is ludicrous. Get some facts, and listen to what’s coming out of John and Sarah’s mouths — cheap shots, divisive language, smearing, sneering and general pukebag politics. That’s the leadership values you want in the Oval Office? poor you.

I think all the name calling is very imature on both sides.Grow up America you are not still in High school.You should vote for the Man or Women who will do the job best,This country of ours is in one heck of a mess.It didnt happen overnight.It started way back in the 70s when I worked for Timex Plant in Connecicut.They sent our factory that was there for many years to Mexico. American jobs are being sent to were it can be made CHEAPER.Recently I worked for a computer company that made most of thier laptops overseas.Ok people thats were USA JOBS are going.GREED IS A BIG problem in this country.You have to give a little and you will get back if you take care of your workers.There could be enough jobs in this country if people would wake up.The conpanies in this country dont treat their help like they did years ago.If you had a good employee they had your back all the way.Today is a disgrace the the american people are treated working 10 – 12 hours a day for chump change.The bottom line is no one take pride in their jobs or in our contry like when I was growing up.Wake up we need someone who is going bring jobs and pride back in our country.Oh by the way we dont have a middle class anymore.Its the upper class and poverty.because if you think 20,000 a year is middle class.You are in for a big surprize.GOOD LUCK AMERICA CAUSE WE ARE GOING TO NEED IT IN THE MONTHS AHEAD !!!!

Who knows if the polls are correct, not everyone puts their input in those polls. But I do have questions for everyone. Why are people voting for a person who cannot produce valid proof of being a natural born citizen of America? Or someone who wants to take your hard earned money that you work for and give it to someone who sits on their butt all day? Republican, Democrat or Independent.. They are all crooks anyhow.
McCain/Palin voter.

Posted by: Benna | November 4, 2008, 7:12 pm 7:12 pm

The majority of the wealthy in this country are republicans. The majority of those who serve our country in the military are from the middle and lower social economic class. These men/women are the ones who in some cases pay the supreme price for this country. Maybe this is a situation in which we should spread the pain and emotional being. Spread the wealth is just another way republicans have bamboozled those who have minimum income and lack of worldly knowledge to vote for them. They are being used and abused and donot even realize what is happening. By the way, did McCAIN REALLY PUT “Country First” by choosing Palin. It seems to me that he put the zealots on the religious right first and foremost!

I agree with CORepublican, but have to tell you that the reason the Democrats like to call us these things is because for one, THEY are the ones that lack education. It’s been so in their party for a long time, more than a few decades. That’s why they call themselves the party of the people. Number two, name-calling is about all they are really good at.

How can you check off a state blue or red and not have any numbers.
It is tiring to watch bias over fact at this late hour.
Why vote? Just let the press bias someone in with their opinions.

Posted by: woman citizen | November 4, 2008, 8:12 pm 8:12 pm

“But I think Americans will really questions what they’re hearing from now on from the political media.”
Even if McCain doesn’t win, America loses when we have Red and Blue media. Slanted reporting from CNN for the left doesn’t cancel out slanted reporting from Fox for the right – it just cheapens the entire debate.

Trying to track the map on ABC is odd.
Michigan is marked blue, but the intel says

the 17 electrol votes are in the wrong place
Give em to Mc Cain

I think what should be outlawed is the type of reporting and coverage as we’ve seen for years now.
I BELIEVE the media should be required to report facts only and NOT be in a position to put their own bias spin on current events!
I ALSO BELIEVE these prediction polls should be eliminated completely and the maps should show nothing more than REAL VOTE RESULTS with regular interval updating! FORGET VOTE FORECASTING!!! Remember SGT. Friday??? Just the facts ma’am, Just The Facts!!!
You do not have to believe as I do or share in my thoughts and opinions here… but I’m Thankful that I still had the freedom to speak my mind and post them here!
GO McCAIN!!!
No further comments will follow. :-)

I had a girlfriend and her husband that went to vote for the first time today (in Webster County, IA) both for McCain.
When they got there they were told they couldn’t vote because they had already cast an absentee ballot for OBAMA!!! Apparently these were not the only people this had happened to there. They were allowed to vote, after jumping through many hoops…how does something like this happen and how does it get fixed???????

Write down what happened and name the polling place, notarize the letter, and post it to the elections officer in your state.
Then call and e-mail them.
Take a copy of the notarized letter to the local press
Take a copy of the notarized letter to the police and make a report of the stolen identity.

I really am not pleased, as everyone on both sides are, that the troops have been unable to put their votes in.
Can the President or both candidates agree to wait for the service men and women in Iraq to vote?
We live in an electronic age, and it seems awful that we cannot here from those who serve.
It gains or loses nothing to wait for the candidates, but it shows support for the people who count.

my president is black-if the polls were wrong; they wouldnt have announced the winner so soon; and maybe they need to change the rules. but who cares??? my president is black-no matter what the polls say. people are so pesimistic and its sad how people hate change and do everything they can to put somebody down who is actually DOING something for our country. get over it!
***MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK & MY CAR IS TOO!***
ALL HATERS CAN KISS IT! OBAMA IS WORKING HARD FOR YOU TOO! BE GRATEFUL FOR GOOD-NO GREAT HISTORY CHANGING IN AMERICA!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate to burst anyones bubble but I have to say that a judge ruled that those men and women serving overseas have until November 14th to cast their vote….So yes Obama might be our President today but on Nov. 14th it could be McCain. Just like what happened in 1948. To be its not about the color of his skin..I could care less we all bleed the same color but its the character these 2 candidates displayed which played a role in how I voted.

JENNIFER,
I hate to burst YOUR bubble but its actually the ELECORIAL votes that place a candidate in office and not a POPULAR vote. Although the men and women who serve voices are important; it is just as important as you and I voting. Its just a popular vote and one can LOOSE a popular vote and still become the winner because they have the majority electorial vote. Please note in 2000 Bush won electorial votes and not the popular that Al Gore won.
A recount is unlikely as well because it is a sweeping win. Obama clearly is the peoples choice. ITS ALRIGHT AMERICA…EMBRACE THE CHANGE…
YES WE CAN!!!!

Posted by: AZEEZAH | November 5, 2008, 6:24 am 6:24 am

Well, that answers that question. The polls were right all along, so I guess all those pollsters can breath easy now that they know they were right. :)
And Azeezah is right, Jennifer. It’s the *electoral* votes that count, not the popular vote. Each service man or woman outside the country have to vote in their state of residence, thus even if all of them voted for McCain, it will not tip the scales since no one state has hundreds of thousands of military personal outside the country at any given moment.
So with more than 300 electoral votes *firmly* in his hands, Obama *is* the next Prez. McCain already had announced he conceded the race to Obama, for he knows he does not have a chance to win even if he wins NC, Indiana, and MI (which are still contested as of now).

I am a white guy and now I too believe Democracy and common sense is alive once again, the Republicans didn’t SCARE us into voting for them again!
Hey, Joe the Plumber:
You convinced a lot of people that YOU have to be an imbecile to vote Republican.

Jennifer- What is wrong with you?

Posted by: Redneck4Reason | November 5, 2008, 7:49 am 7:49 am

Oops. I meant MO, not MI. MO’s election is still being contested since the votes are too close to call. ^^;

WOW, I took about a six week break from blogging here. It became apparent that after McCain chose Palin, the race was over. So to the paid McCain bloggers like Chattaway, NoBama, annoying rabbit, tim, PUMA frauds, Steve, janephilip sorry you voted for the wrong guy!!! But, I suppose none of you will be found today or will either change your screen names.
