I have to say, I am worried with Obama's strategy to rewrite the electoral college map. Then again, he's unlike any other presidential candidate, in many many ways.

Wait until the chickenhawks on the right start convincing the easily conned that mccain will keep them safe even while he is raping their social security and medicare benefits and starting even more wars of choice....and mccain is the moral choice even though he dumped his crippled first wife for the hotty cindy with all the money...

When the righteous (Obama) are in authority, the people rejoice, but when a wicked man (McCain-Bush) rules, the people groan.

Stop the war, stop the dishonesty of the republican party.

Vote Obama.

I think with Mark Warner running for senate in VA, the state might shift to Obama.

Obama supporters, hope you figure out a way to vote
twice in the general---you are going to need the help.
Obama is ill qualified to become president.
You folks enjoy yourselves now ----the kool-aide party
will be over soon.
DNC party leaders---and I use the word leaders
in a shameful manner---you are a bunch of idiots

American people are smarter that that Kilgore. This is a different time and even the NRA or more concerned with their purse strings.

I think Obama can win in November if Americans are serious about the future of this country. Although, we will those who really need a serious health care plan to include psychological help...they are they ones voting for McTeleprompter. By the way, this is where the McTeleprompter folks are to booooo my comments.

I said this last week that the Libertarian candidate Bob Barr will siphon 7% of the vote from the Republicans and put a number of states into serious contention. When you add in the millions of new voters that Obama will register this summer, I can see the map changing.

Kate in Atlanta — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:05:04 GMT

Oh, Bob Barr, you can help us turn this peach state blue!

Plus, force McBush to spend millions he doesn't in states he thought he already had. Remember GA went Huckabee, not McBush.

Let's go Blue GA - hey Georgia State Univ's main color is blue.

why do i feel like the idiots of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida are going to determine this again, and, for the Republicans nonetheless. Oh well, they get they deserve.

Sorry people from Ohio and Florida, you two voted for Bush the second time around, what were you thinking.

My only advice to people is vote American. Let me explain my comment.

This is the first time we can have change, forget who you think I am referring to. Never before do we have a time to vote as individuals, and still feel we have a voice. Here's a quick quote:

"Always vote for prinicple, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost."
President John Quincy Adams

Don't vote for someone because hes too old, that would be UNAmerican. Don't vote for someone because hes not white, that would be UNAmerican. Don't vote against someone because your candidate didn't win, that would be UNAmerican.

Vote for someone because he (in this case) has the best potential and promise to become a great President. Whether you pick McCain or Obama vote for the person to best make this country great for our children. Vote based on the issues, and not what some fanatical religious person said, both candidates are tied to that. That is nonsense. Can't we all see fanatical religion has done more damage in the history of the world then any other organization. I believe religion is still good before you moan, Im just talking about the fanatics. Choose the best President to make this country safer, wiser, healthier, closer, stronger, more fianncially secure stable, and better educated.

Thats voting American

I can tell you first hand that McCain's stance on NAFTA will cost him states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio.

I was in Janesville, WI yesterday. The GM plant there will be closing. People are extremely upset at NAFTA.

Just this week, McCain said NAFTA was good and helps America compete on the global market. Plants are closing in the US, and then we hear new ones open in Mexico. Having jobs move from US to Mexico is not a good solution, it's part of the problem.

McCain's support of NAFTA has ended all chances he has at the Great lakes region.

If you take the primary states that Hillary won vs Obama and map them to a general election... Hillary wins in a landslide, 311 to 227. You want to secure the victory in November, you Obama fans should start lobbying for Hillary as Vice President.

How can McCain win in these areas if he is not patriotic? McCain does not wear a flag pin so he must not be patriotic according to many Republicans.

J. Hallmark — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:28:13 GMT

The reason McCain has called for weekly debates is because he can't raise the money needed and Obama would draw the free publicity to him.

Also, when Obama refuses, he can call him a coward. Win, win, for McCain.

I don't think Obama needs weekly debates or McCains suggestions on trips to Iraq. Obama will know when it is time to visit the capitals of Europe and Iraq
