MINNESOTA: It IS Hillary vs. Rudy! Two of the biggest guns in national politics headed to Minnesota for last minute appeals in the Franken/Coleman race -- Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani.

Video: Former mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani knows that John McCain's chances were hurt by the economic crisis, but is not willing to give up on his candidate's chances.

MISSISSIPPI: Check out this sample ballot being circulated by incumbent Roger Wicker. Wicker's a Republican, but you wouldn't know from looking at this.

NORTH CAROLINA: The final price tag in IE expenditures in the North Carolina Senate race? $22 million.

Today is the day! To all those whose posts I have enjoyed, thank you. I'm gonna forget names, I'm sorry. Libratine, Jawillie, Erik from Mechanicsburg, Pat in Huntington, vote! This is our time! I'm off to the polling place now but as I cast my ballot for hope, I'll be thinking of how why stood by our man when others sought to bring him down. Si se puede!

It's no contest as Hillary is a far bigger political star than "Tutti Fruti" Rudy. It's Judgment Day for the repugnant ones who are going to lose in a landslide for their evil wicked governance which has wrecked ourt secular democracy. It's Redemption Day fopr us Democrats as we sweep back into power so we can fix the messes left us.

I'm really sick and tired of hearing "Simpleton" Sarah whining about the left wing agenda and us liberals being soft on terrorism. Only a fool would believe Osama bin Laden when he says that Iraq was the central front on the war on terror. Only a fool would cling to what Osama says as being true. Only a fool wouldn't see that Osama wants the central front as far away from him as possible. Only a fool would have tried to box him in at Tora Bora with a three sided box and outsource our dirty work to a bunch of Osama's pals. That's why "Fool" Bush never brought justice to Osama and why "Fool" McCain has no plan to get him.

Go Obama/Biden 08/12!

The Wicker sample ballot is hilarious.

Was this put together by his Democrat opponent for statewide distribution, or by Wicker for selective distribution in Democratic areas?

Also, did anyone else notice a Mr. Richard Cock running for Congress?

Norm has more problems then Hillary being in town to support Al Franken.Taking 75,000 $ and using your wife as the bag lady,and now a law suit in which he blames Al and the democratic party,when they had nothing to do with it.Norm was a hand picked to run in the senate By Dick Chaney and has voted for 86% of the bush/Chaney Bills.He dose not represent change,he is a me, myself, and I guy.

I hope Kay Hagan trounces the carpetbagger Liz Dole who has run a dark and shady campaign...the woman has half the class of her husband...

If I were Coleman I would not want a liar, thief, and cheater on his wife and a cross dresser such as Rudy Giuliani stumping for me. But I guess that is the type of people Norm Coleman wants around him.

Am sure by now everyone has made up their minds, so,
am putting my trust in the American voters to vote
for the future and survival of our country.
It is so obvious, with the republicans leading our
country down the patch of destruction, that we need
major change.
Please do not believe the lies, horrible attacks by
Mccain/palin. Instead, believe in the person who
wants to lead our country back to the greatness we
once had.

This doesn't make sense. Franken is being criticized for being a comedian and is not taken as a serious candidate, while Coleman, who is viewed as the serious candidate, is having a guy who dresses in drag campaign for him.

Rudy - go home and stay home.

Go Hillary, there is no way Rudy the Pootie can do anything with you. Go out there and get Al Franken his Senate seat. Hillary if things go as they should I expect to see you play a huge roll in taking our government back.

Voted Republican in the pass but not this time. I'm angry with the republican party. The lie, they cheat and they got our country in the biggest economic mess since the depression, also McCain can't be trusted, and here are my reasons. He was a D student, finish second from the bottoms, he was not a great soldier, he supports amnesty for illegal immigrants, he complaints of Obama's association, but he was friends with Rev. Hagee and Pinochet (Pinochet murder 1000's of innocent civilians) he cheated on his first wife while he was married, and re-married a drug user, he was a central figure in the savings and loans fraud and he's choicer of VP is border line idiotic, The woman is a door knob she attended 6 college to get a degree, and her husband is a separatist. For the first time in my life I'll be voting for a democrat .. Voting Obama

After Franken called Norm Coleman out for having a Political Sugar-Daddy, I thought I would p* my pants..lol. I was sure they were going to be in a knock down drag out hair-pulling match next..lol. Franken attacked Coleman's wife on her corruption scandal and then brought up Coleman's father for being arrested while soliciting prostitutes in parked cars..lol.

Reelect Sen. Norm Coleman(R), to maintain Decency in our State! LOL

Attention Hillary supporters:

Today is election day, the day we can make our voices heard ! Remember whenObama said " anyone would be a fool NOT to consider Hillary as his VP " Well that fool didn't ! He also led all of us to believe that he was considering her, when in fact he NEVER intended to. He never cared about our feeling or ur opinions. All he wanted was our votes and therefore lied about his intentions.
Also remember how people on this blog trashed her and tore her down, making fun of her and us. Then they had the nerve to tell us that we should get over it and fall in line and vote Obama ? Remember when they said we had NO choice, but to vote for Obama ?
Remember how you felt when Obama and Howard Dean stole the nomination from her, remember how upset you were and how obama and his supporters didn't care and how mean they are.
Well, today, we do have a voice. Today we can send a VERY CLEAR message to Obama, Dean and obama supporters. Today our feelings should be heard !
Today when you go out to vote, make it know that you're not happy, either vote for McCain or write in Hillarys name. I just left voting and I wrote in Hillarys name. I was not the only one. A group of us did it. We can make a difference ! YES WE CAN !

Today........ Remember Hillary !

Rudy Giuliani needs to just go away and never be heard from again. He is a fraud. I am glad that he ridiculed the COMMUNITY ORGANIZER at the convention. That COMMUNITY ORGANIZER that they laughed at took the high road and did not engage in the viciousness that the republicans chose to engage in. Result? McCain/Palin can't lose by enough to please me.

I just have to comment on the guy from texas saying hillary sould be ashamed of herself for supporting obama? They may have been in a race for the democratic nomination at one point but they are both in the democratic party, i think it shows alot of charicter that she can put things behind her and do whats best for the intrests of her party. BARACK THE VOTE 2008!!!!!

The Republicans will get exactly what they deserve. They wouldn't let McCain pick his own running mate, and they pushed Palin on him.They didn't want Liberman because he has Democratic ties, and he's JEWISH...They didn't want Romney because he's MORMON.

Get the picture folks!...I wonder what that big, fat slob Limbaugh will come up with now?
