Who would you rather be today, Obama or McCain?

This is going to be decided by voter turn out, and the Ds are wiping the floor with the Rs in that category. It will be an Obama landslide in Florida.

In an article he wrote, McCain said he will deregulate health care to open health care to "more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking."

More deregulation as we have done over the last decade in banking? Cut me a break. We all know how that turned out. It was a race to the bottom and then a crash.

If McCain had his way, social security would have been invested in the stock market during the recent financial collaspe. He still wants to do it, because his Wall Street supporters want the cash.

McCain is the same guy who said, “The issue of economics is not something I’ve understood as well as I should, but I’ve got Greenspan’s book.” Greenspan’s book! G-d help us!

Anybody voting for McCain and Palin at this point is just not paying attention. Do you need to lose your house before you figure out this country needs a change?

Voting for radical change is not the answer. Voting for leadership that can get us thru these troubled times is. Obama is a choice that will huant this country for years after his term is over. His record of voting shows me he is only out to punish success and reward the average.
I want to know how a person without any real experience can be placed into our highest office by people who are just sour over current conditions?
Don't get me wrong, there is alot to be sour over but the blame needs to be put aside and look at our future. I am afraid that of Obama is the future, ours might look bleak!
Either way without lobbiest reform and term limits nothing will get accomplished, so choose with your head not your heart!

Dockery just dropped off another $25k here last week for the Democratic Party. We shipped it right back to Polk County.

An Obama win is starting to look more rather than less likely. I'd like to know what an Obama Presidency would mean for Britons.

THE REPUBLICANS HAVE BLOWN THIS ELECTION. If you want to place blame consider this: (Based on early returns) In Florida Obama has a 330,000 vote head start heading into November 4th. In Virginia and North Carolina the lead is between 310,000 and 350,000 respectively. This is because the Republican campaign chairman DID NOT do a get out the early vote campaign. THE BLAME IS TOTALLY ON RICK DAVIS!!!

Obama is Satan.

I looked up meet the press for Sept. 7th and I don't see the interview. O f course no one put their name on that because it isn't real either. Great to see who the bigots are. Thanks again.

The Bradley Effect. Don’t believe these polls for a second. I just went over our numbers and found that we have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada. Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but is too close to call it for him. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa are the true “toss up states”. The only two of these the campaign feels “confident” in are Iowa and New Mexico. The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley Effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign. In general, we tend to take a -10 point percentage in allowing for this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark. This is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania!

Is putting out this sort of "post-partisan" drivel why RPOF pays George Lemieux $10,000. per month ??

"Topic 1: Presidential Race
A Mason-Dixon poll released Saturday shows Obama up by 2 points in Florida, a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll shows McCain up by 1. McCain is in Tampa today. Palin stopped in New Port Richey, Lakeland and Ocala on Saturday. Biden campaigned in Daytona and Tallahassee yesterday, and Obama is scheduled to appear in Jacksonville today. Early voting suggests that Obama will take a lead into Election Day here in Florida, so McCain will have to win the Election Day vote.
Prediction: Winner Obama. McCain should carry Florida in a nail bitter, but Obama will carry the nation winning: Colorado, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Wisconsin. Missouri, Virginia, and Ohio are too close to call. Even if McCain wins all three, he will fall short.

Bonus Prediction: Electoral Vote Count: Obama 322; McCain 216."

[Concern in Mississippi]

I am a concerned voter. I have voted democrat in every election held since I was eighteen. Never have I felt so concern and uncertain. Today, that concern evaporated. I know that this race will not be a landslide because there are too many people concern with race and party affiliations to just vote their hearts. I would be proud to call Barack Obama my president because of his ideas not his affiliation or his race. I am ashamed that race is still an issue in this country. I think back to all the people both black and white who have lost their lives on the case of racism. It is time to heal and stand up for the basic creed that the country was founded upon. We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal... It is time to show the world that we are no longer sayers but doers. If we don't end this division of class and race, we are nothing more than liars and can no more call ourselves a democracy or look to spread equality any where else in the world. Charity begins at home and is spread abroad.
