Interesting that so much was made yesterday of the Quinnipiac polls showing Obama doing so well in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. How come no mention has been made of the Florida and Ohio Rasmussen polls out today? They show McCain up 8 in Florida and 1 in Ohio.

I hope the campaign remains positive as long as possible. It got so bogged down in the attack-defend of the primary... It's good to see an introductory ad like this. I hope issue-focused ads will follow.

Having the funds to do this is where Obama's choice to keep his supporter-financed campaign will make a difference.

It's just sad that any American must defend their patriotism. What I know though is that Obama will defeat McCain to become the next President because despite all the mud thrown at him and his family, it's being done out of fear because the repubs know they have a man of character on their hands and they don't know how else to deal with him. That will be their downfall however because thanks to the Hannity's of America, we, the American public have been bombarded with Obama's negative contacts and characters and have seen through it all. That's why Obama is as strong as ever today, he has no worries that America will have his back. Haters can spit and holler but Obama will prevail, good over evil.

Dear Lyle C. Wagonwheeler,

I'm not embarrassed by his middle name, nor is Barack. It is his father's name, and he should be proud of it.

But, ignorant conservatives who can't really make a point on the ISSUES, throw it in, in hopes of scaring people away, because of course if that's his middle name, then of course he must be some radical muslim.

Conservatism is a disease.

Our founding fathers were Liberals. Look it up. Read a book.

RE: the NBC lean states. He's not airing the ad in those states because McCain has no chance of winning those states. He may have a slim chance in Minnesota but I'd call it very slim. The rest of 'em will go Obama, perhaps by 10% or more. Count on it.

here's some information about the Bush tax cuts McFluffy doesn't want to let out of the bag...

McCain fails to mention that repealing the AMT costs the government a lot of money in lost revenues. According to the TPC, nixing the AMT would cost more than $850 billion over 10 years, if the Bush tax cuts expire as scheduled (as OBAMA is for).

If the tax cuts are extended (as McMain is for), eliminating the AMT would cost $1.6 trillion over 10 years.

Now here's my question to all you McCain backers....

Whats so conservative about that?

Great way to show how he plans to spend his campaing money. On ads that show where he came from and a peek at his life mission and how that can help the country.

I find it interesting that his doubters want to say that Sen. Obama is unamerican but has lived the American dream. Started with very little and through HARD WORK, EDUCATION and DETERMINATION, he has pulled himself up and made something out of himself. If republicans weren't so scare of losing the little power they have left, they would be using him as an example of how people should get off the social programs and become contributing members of society.

Well, when he becomes the next POTUS, they might just get their wish.

I'm glad he opted out so messages like these can reach more Americans to combat the 527/youtube/emails blasts out there.
