Well, I am a democrat voting for McCain/Palin.
I am not so sure these polls are close to being accurate.
But, hey, we'll see in a few weeks.
Que sera, sera.

Hey, it can't hurt having thousands of dead people voting for you, or can it? Nah, they can't complain about "Acorn's" role in duping the government out of hundreds of millions of our tax dollars.
Ah yes, dead voters; the best kind.

All of these polling numbers mean nothing! These pollsters are just attempting to sway the outcome of the election by reporting favorably for Obama. If the so-called margin of error is 4 points, then they are in a dead heat. Florida will deliver for McCain/Palin!

Well, I'm an independent (NPA in Florida) and I would have voted for McCain over Gore in 2000. I am voting for Obama this time. I think McCain is getting bad advice from those running his campaign. Please bring back the REAL McCain - independent, but conservative w/ enough honor and integrity to pass around w/ plenty to spare. He is not the same candidate as he was in 2000 when Bush smeared his good name.

The real McCain went away when the Alzheimers set in. All you Republicans that are crying about the unfair voter registration will have to shut up when Obama wins by a landslide in November. Mark my words.

John McCain makes me sick to my stomach he's not going to win so he might as well drop out just to save him the embrassement on the 4 of next month

Unfair voter registration? Try ILLEGAL. You may think that O bomber is special, but raising the dead? Must be something on 'the other side' that affects handwriting, since they ALL match.
The 'Big House' seems to be a more appropriate destination for this criminal.

"Lebowitz said Obama has successfully but unfairly tied McCain to President Bush and the faltering economy..."
Unfairly? McCain is tied to Bush
and as he says, he voted to support Bush 90% of the time. I don't consider 10% dissent a "maverick!"
A vote for McCain is a vote for a third Bush term. And, yes, I'm a registered NPA also....

I agree, how can one possibly vote for someone who's racial bias is so evident. Who belonged to a church that espounded hat for the middle class who he swears he now wants to help. A church he worshiped in for years, was married in, his children baptized in. This is their doctrin.

Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

1. Commitment to God

2. Commitment to the Black Community

3. Commitment to the Black Family

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community

10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions

11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System

12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System

Wisdom does come with age. But McCain doesn't have a clue. When asked if health care was a "Responsibility" or a "Right" during the last debate on live TV John McCain exposed himself by suggesting that it was a "Responsibility" Because John McCain only cares about John McCain. But Obama with no hesitation proclaimed that it was a "RIGHT!" Obama understands it. Obama cares about our senor citizens.. Obama stands with the Jews. Obama is a friend of the Cubans and all of our latino brothers and sisters..

I think you misheard. Health care is a right, everybody has, that doesn't make it any less your responsibility to get it. We are getting very close to socialism here folks. Medicare is available to almost everyone, who is below a certain income bracket. If you choose not to apply, that is your right. No-one has the right to tell me I have to have insurance. That is what he is doing, every child has to have insurance.

Typical sniper attitude. You FAILED to mention that McCain just finished speaking and was hit with the question as he was returning to his chair, while Barracks O Bomber had time to sit, listen and think about it.
O Bomber cares about, and is a friend of, free government money. Ask anybody in "ACORN".

Boy that is really the pot calling the kettle black. How about the Repubs trying to close down the early voting sites in the low income neighborhoods in Indiana? They had no problem with them being open during the Democratic Primary but they don't want them open for the general election...want to know why? Because those people will vote for Obama! So you can keep your self rightous attitude to yourself and stop trying to act like the Democrats are trying to steal this election. That is what the Repubs do, not the Democrats. The difference is that it won't work this time so you guys have to scream bloody murder about every little thing that doesn't go your way. Sort of like spoiled children....how sad.
