After watching today's Meet the Press, I can not understand why John McCain and his campaign keep saying that Barack Obama is flip flopping on his tax cuts. It is quite simple, if you make $200000.00 or less as an individual or $250000.00 or less as a family, you will receive a tax cut. I can not tell you how disappointed I am with John McCain's campaign, I am an Arizona resident and have always repected him, but I believe that this has been the most negative and nasty campaign in my lifetime.
I would look at Missouri as going exactly how it did in the democratic primary when Obama pulled an upset over Clinton.
John McCain said they are "doin fine".
Must be in his good mood stage today, he wasn't blinking as much.
Sarah sees the writing on the wall and is trying to do an end run to claim the mantle of the repub base, look out you old boys club, you have created a monster of your own to deal with four years from now, she will tie you to the dems and take you all down. That would be poetic justice for your old and tired party.
You reap what you sow, boys!
Obama will win Georgia.  The polls don't account for the total African American vote as well as the number of non-minorities that are voting for Obama.... Georgians were historically for the Rep. Party, but in recent years Georgians have been left out of the circle... This will be the big surprise on election night.... Just watch....
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Chuck and Mark.... You would be surprised by the Georgia turnout and the African American turnout down here....
Erratic! More of the same+ Mccain/Palin = Nobody, but Obama/Biden

John McCain has nothing new to offer. That’s why you’ve seen the McCain's poll numbers drop and his campaign becoming so predictably unreliable and inconsistent. What answers say you McCain, provide besides...
Outsourcing
“Moose head” Sarah Palin open your mouths it’s to attack Barack Obama
Bill Ayers
communism
socialism
Islamophobia (Barack is a secret Muslim)
ACORN exotic
fake birth certificate
not akin to Joe the Plumber
inexperienced
seemingly is just to win by causing fear, McCain?

I'll be awaiting your erratic answers!!!! !!

Go Obama/ Biden
McCain did himself no good on Meet The Press. He was combative, snarky, and sarcastic. Brokaw actually asked the Senator's permission to show a clip to his veiwing audience.

I had Brokaw all wrong.

His interview with Barack after his return from the European tour smacked of bias in my estimation at the time. I'm just too sensitive to all things Obama.

Tom, it seems, is trying to keep them all honest.
Georgia is recording record numbers of Absentee voters. I'm included in this group (white, female, registered Republican who voted for Barack Obama). We realize that a "real change" is needed. The Republicans have had control and misused that control to the dire situation that is now our economy, misguided war, lack of respect abroad. Barack Obama is giving me the confidence that we as One America will survive. His common sense and intelligence will guide us out of this Republican generated MESS. I've voted for Change, now will YOU? Obama/Biden 08/12. Yes, we can!  PLEASE VOTE from now until Nov 4th!
McCains "senior moment" did not help him
I early voted in Florida for Barack Obama.  I have no idea what's going to happen in Missouri or Georgia but I will say that if you are a McCain fan, you can't possibly be happy with the way the numbers are going.  There is a landslide in the making, and not just at the executive level.
