I'm male 65, Republican Hamilton County Ohio born and raised and 100%pro Barack. The local die-hard Republicans will go for McCain. They just push the R button no matter who it is. The R centrists are interested in Obama and know McCain is not offering what they want to hear...they hate talking about Bush. The Democrats are pretty conservative and could go either way. Barack faces basic racism that isn't violently hateful, but is, by long years of breading, fearful of a blackman. I meet many who do not support McCain but are having a really hard time thinking about voting for a black man. Some of them - R &amp;amp; D will and THAT IS A BIG CHANGE. If Hamilton county is going negative on McCain, he will lose the state. I'd like to see the stitistics for polling in Hamilton County. My guess is that it is getting softer and softer. It's tough going against cultural beliefs but the Republicans I know are surely not interested in four more years of Bush economics.</description></item><item><title>CNN/Time: Obama up in 5 states</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/01/1476527.aspx#1476807</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:15:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1476807</guid><dc:creator>C A, Tuscaloosa, AL</dc:creator><description>Nobama, miami, Florida (Sent Wednesday, October 01, 2008 4:44 PM)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nobama, miami:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well you were wrong about not having your comment posted weren't you butt-head.

Hopefully, the electorate have learned from the last two elections that the lies were just that, and the Bush team followed up being liars throughtout their time in office. The McCain camp would be the same.

If you want a socialist goverment vote for Obama. He seems to want to rob from the rich to pay for the poor. Young people that have never had a house payment, paid for college or medical bills or paid taxes should not be allowed to vote. I guess they will vote for Obama since they have not had many life experiences. MSNBC you must just take polls of the young (18-21). I work at a college and listen to the students that have not had to pay for anything. Please keep up the good work and take polls from them, they all want Obama </description></item><item><title>CNN/Time: Obama up in 5 states</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/10/01/1476527.aspx#1476900</link><pubDate>Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:34:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1476900</guid><dc:creator>Cindi in Louisiana</dc:creator><description>As an Obama supporter, I am So happy that I wish it were a Miller Lite Nite instead of Wednesday because I feel liike celebrating!!! But I agree with those who remind that we can't afford to become complacent. Some speculate that this is why Obama lost NH in the primaries because polls showed him ahead of Hillary and the young folks, in particular, did not show up to vote. These polls might make Dem relax and could energize conservatives to get out and vote.
