Biden got crushed by Sarah on Thursday.
I'm surprised he's out showing his face after all the lies he made during the debate.

Fact Check got him good.

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!

No to Obama/Biden.

[McCains addiction to Gambling]

McCain's Tax Returns Hide Gambling Activities Says Tax Attorney.

Biden outclassed and outsmarted Palin with ease. My respect and admiration for him increased after the debate. I watched many of the primary debates and thought he won several of them. He is a good and decent man who will make a great vice president. People go out to see him and give him your support in this very important time. We are on the verge of taking our country back.

Obama: Judgment.

McCain: Experience.

Biden: Both.

Palin: Neither.

Biden will restore honor to the VP spot

My High School government teacher knows more than Sarah Palin.

[Palin is eye-candy, to the low IQ Republican base.]

will Biden will be bringing woman beating jayz

if obama screws up as president we have to blame cnn and msnbc for making his lack of experience seem like nothing when it is everything.

Democrats are jealous of Sarah Palin because she represents their failure to bring unity to the party over Hillary Clinton. If Obama does not win it will split the party between those who knew Hillary should have been on the ticket and those mesmerized by "change".

Palin is wright about obama paling around with a terrorist. You would be foolish to defend his associations. Would you have hung out with Timothy McViegh 30 years later if he was still alive?

One nonth left and counting. Those poll numbers don't look very promising for a McCain comeback. Most voters have already made up their minds, and it's clear that Obama and Biden have won over most of the undecided vote. There is no real strategy for McCain to follow now; even if he lies his @ss off and misrepresents Obama's position, McCain has no credibility left. No one will buy it. Unlike 2000 and 2004 it looks like the best team is actually going to win.

Maybe he will hang out at the Home Depot like he said in the debate. Please this guy has never darkened the door of a Home Depot or done any home repair of any kind. He probably hasnt cut his own grass in 35 years.

Palin's claims that Obama is associated with that 60's radical is laughable. He taught at the same college and lived in Obama's neighborhood. There is no association. Yet Palin lies and blurts out whatever they tell her. She is shameless and has the integrity of a skunk. I want to hear more about her assocation with that radial group that advocates Alaska withdrawing from the United States. That is treason my friends. Sarah, people who throw stones...

[Raven]

O & Joe '08!

Welcome to Tampa Joe ... see you Wednesday!

ayers is associated with obama. you need to check your facts and yes you can fight the smears but you can't fight the truth.

And Palin's husband was part of a political party that wants Alaska to secede from the US.

"Alaska First - Always Alaska"

If Al Franken had an ounce of truth in his bones he would write a book about Biden called Lies, Lies, and more Lies.

Remind me to go out of town when Biden drops in.

Florida Voter The association with the Weathermen is well documented. Get you head out of the sand.

Didn't Biden crash and burn in his first run for president because it was revealed he was a liar and plagiarist?

[Democrats steal elections.]

Our nation may be on the brink of repeating the 2000 Florida election debacle, but this time in several states, with allegations of voter fraud, intimidation and flawed voting machines added to the generalized chaos that sent Bush v. Gore to the Supreme Court for overtime.

"If you think of election problems as akin to forest fires, the woods are no drier than they were in 2000, but many more people have matches," says Doug Chapin, editor of the nonpartisan Electionline.org.

The real battle that could decide this election may be fought by the squadrons of lawyers both sides have hired to prepare Florida-style challenges to the results in any close state. Once again, America's sloppy, fraud-prone voting system could turn Election Day into an Election Month of court challenges.

Election lawsuits are already piling up. A new federal mandate requires that all voters be allowed to cast a provisional ballot if their names don't appear on registration lists. Liberal groups are suing to have such ballots counted even if they are cast in precincts where the voter doesn't live. If the number of provisional ballots exceeds the margin of victory in the Senate race, you can bet lawyers will argue that "every vote must count," regardless of eligibility. Candidates may have to hope their vote totals are beyond the "margin of litigation."

The issue of photo ID has become symbolic of the clash of values on election standards. Supporters say it is bizarre that most states don't require a photo ID to vote, at a time when one is needed to buy an airline ticket, rent a video or cash a check. A Rasmussen Research poll found 82% of Americans believed voters should show photo ID, including 70% of Obama voters. But liberal groups insist that even laws that allow voters to use a paycheck or utility bill as ID discriminate against minority voters and could lead to "profiling."

But when voters are disfranchised by the counting of improperly cast ballots or outright fraud, their civil rights are violated just as surely as if they were prevented from voting. The integrity of the ballot box is just as important to the credibility of elections as access to it.

Political bosses such as Richard Daley or George Wallace may have died, but they have successors. Party machines in Hawaii and south Texas intimidate critics and journalists as they harvest votes from illegal aliens and the dead. A left-wing "community organizing" group called ACORN has seen its employees frequently convicted of voter registration fraud. This year its employees are under active investigation in several states. Perhaps one reason for ACORN's go-for-broke behavior is that Barack Obama used to be a lawyer and top trainer for the group. In August, the Obama campaign was caught misidentifying an $800,000 payment it had made to an ACORN subsidiary for "election services."

Even after Florida 2000, the media tend to downplay or ignore stories of election incompetence, manipulation or theft. Allowing such abuses to vanish into an informational black hole in effect legitimizes them. Should "anything goes" continue to accepted as an election standard, voters may wake up to a crisis even bigger than the 2000 Florida folly. Perhaps then it will demand to know why more wasn't done to fix the system before it failed again. That's why officials need to enforce whatever safeguards we have this year - and then lobby hard for better voter education and protections against fraud in the future.

PALIN DOES NOT EVEN KNOW THAT MAN IS THE REASON FOR POLLUTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT. COME ON, DIDN'T EVERYONE LEARN IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT CAR POLLUTION IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF POLLUTION?

The association with Ayers and The Weathermen is well documented. Not between The Weathermen and Obama - unless you think that while Obama was eight years old he was partaking in their plans and bombings.

Ayers supported Obama's political aspirations. They served on a non profit committee together. And? Ayers is also a college professor. I guess all who attend and teach and support that college are hanging out and supporting terrorists.

Politicians are very likely to have associates that are less than stellar, felons and con artists simply due to the sheer amount of people they deal with. I've met and dined with many myself - I'm not palling around with them however and I certainly have no influence.

His mother in law died today so I doubt he will still keep his schedule this week. My prayers are with his family. I have known the Bidens for years and I know how close his family is.

[You'd have to be a fool to vote for McCain]

First of all, Obama's alleged association with a "terrorist" is hilarious. Yes, he does know the man who, in the 60's was involved with a radical underground movement...When Obama was 8! Obama met Ayers when they were volunteering for a non-profit organization raising money for schools. Put that in your fact check and smoke it.

[you'd have to be a fool to vote for McCain]

also, comparing Ayers to Tim MCViegh is the most Heinous thing I have ever heard...In my life! The depth the McCain campaign has gone to, to try to disgrace Obama is shallow and if you believe the lies they are saying, I feel sorry for you. Go home and do some research. maybe if you watched anything but Fox news, you would have a clue.

Lets see:

Smoke crack; get caught; get 10 years

Bomb Buildings; get caught; become a university professor

OK so Barack's 1st political fundraiser was held at the Ayres house. Big deal!

OK so Barack was Chairman of the Board 1995-2001 at the CAC (founded by Ayres). This group "came up with" $100 MILLION to spray around Chicago funding a radical left agenda. Big deal!

Come on, whats the big deal? As Barack said; Ayres only "lived in my neighborhood!"

I am part of the "Middle Class" (earning less than 200k)and I take exception to being referred to by Gov. Palin, as "Joe Six Pack" or "Soccer Mom", I find both to be demeaning to me and my hard working well educated (in school and life) neighbors and friends, we are so much more. Sarah Palin is low class and uneducated, it shows in her stupid euphamisms. Is her winking at the camera supposed to instill confidence in her ability to lead our troubled nation? Get real folks. Quite honestly, I think my cat knows more than Sarah Palin and my dog has more class. Take your lipstick and head back to Alaska honey, you're not fit to run the PTA.

[middle class mom]

could not have put it better. Thank you for saying what we are all thinking !

[judith]

Obama is an educated, dignified man. His ability to rise above the lies, deceit, name-calling is admirable and obviously enviable. I cannot even imagine what the wretched combination of McCain/Palin would do to further decimate our country on all fronts; the economy, health care, global warming, foreign policy, the war.

I DO NOT want McCain/Palin to represent me. I want intelligence and dignity to guide our country. Can you honestly imagine Sarah, hockey-mom, lipstick on a pitbull, Palin meeting with foreign dignitaries? What a joke. What a mistake. Please tell me that this is merely a nightmare that will go away soon!
