Count me as one of those independents who have changed their mind about McCain. I used to like him and planned to vote for him. No more. He has proven himself to be erratic and downright scary at times in his behavior, most notably his antics of the past two weeks -- the quasi suspension of his campaign, his not looking at Obama during the debate and the infamous cold handshake with Obama at the floor of the senate. Meanwhile, Obama has been calm and composed under much pressure - that's the kind of president I want and this country needs!

McCain is fundamentally wrong!!

Sarah, stop being a winking, lipstick smiling, cheesecake. If you must be so defiant attacking Obama with Ayers et al, the fact that the economic is in turmoil; demands old certainties and prejudices will reverse those trends. Republicans like you using Ayers, Rev Wright, Acorn, is nothing more than a CLANDESTINE WILLIE HORTON ATTACK. Take a gander at the newspapers. It’s the economy; stupid girl. Also a gander in a US history book while you’re at it will show you a Doug Wilder effect. We (the people) are not ignoramUS.

I have always giving the Republican party credit for (right or wrong) knowing how to run a campaign and how to steal an election. I have also (but was not going to vote for him)recognized John McCain as a hero mainly because i lost two relatives and two best friends in the Viet Nam War. But after the smear campaign that they have recently started against Obama I take it back, and esp. for you McCain. I do not expect a hero to resort to these type of tactics and esp. with you tied to the Keating 5 and you were not 8 yeras old, get my meaning. And you empty Pale Palin do you really want to go there with associations after you delivered a speech at the successionist party get together in Alsaka and your husband Todd being a card carrying member, plus there is still that abuse of power thing you haven't explained and continue to cover up. Who is ever running your campaign so far is doing a cracker jack job for you.

Percpetions of Joe Biden — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:10:48 GMT

Confidence in Joe Biden? I have one question about this man that so many Democrats "trust". Why did he say in the primaries that Obama was "not ready to lead". He said it more than once...even when a follow-up question came to him to confirm it. How do you say that with clarity one minute and campaign for the same guy the next? How do you trust a person who self-contradicts himself like that?

Also, in the VP debate he defended Obama saying that Obama never said he'd meet with the dictator of Iran without pre-conditions. Really? Another contradiction or lie.... Mr. Biden himself criticized Mr. Obama on this point in 2007 at the National Press Club: "Would I make a blanket commitment to meet unconditionally with the leaders of each of those countries within the first year I was elected President? Absolutely, positively no."

This is the same Joe Biden busted on more than 1 occasion for plagiarism and lying about his grades. The same Joe Biden who comes off as "Mr. regular guy" and yet whose mansion was secured due to his inside relationships with banking leaders and whose annual Am-trak expenses are way out of line when compared with other Delaware congressmen who take Am-Trak to Washington.

This is the same guy everyone trusts so much?

Chris W. — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 23:11:06 GMT

Things are beginning to look pretty grim for the McCain campaign. The shift of the country's attention to the economy, a topic which traditionally favors Democrats, has clearly added momentum to Obama's success in the polls. One area where McCain is still holding on is foreign policy -- specifically, his support of the troop surge and success it seems to have promoted in Iraq. Obama is stuck in a bit of tight spot on this: refusing to acknowledge its success paints him as a defeatist, acknowledging plays to McCain's favor. Nevertheless, I think there is a rebuttal that Obama can use that would nullify this advantage for McCain forever (and give Obama some great soundbites in the process).

It still saddens me that such a large number of people feel she is ready to be president. If John Sydney McCain III would release ALL of his medical records and we had them looked over by impartial professionals, then we would know exactly what the likelihood of having Sarah Palin take over is. It scares me that such an erratic man with such a radical woman at his side is still polling at over 40%. Some people in this country truly are not paying attention. But with only 29 days to go, I hope that reality slaps them in the face real soon.

I am just an average guy, out of work with a good deal of time to spend online right now. I just can not believe how openly MSNBC and NBC in general are really out of touch with reality.

It seems to me that you are so pro Obama as to be laughable. My feeling is that the common folk, like me are not going to vote for this guy for a number of reasons. Spending is a big one. (Bush was out of control but he is a piker in comparison to what Obama has in mind) What about the economy? I know you point the blame toward the Bush policies but it seems to me it goes back to the Great Society (thats worked out nicely hasn't it), Carter with his only successful legislative action and Clinton with his subsequent action on Fanny Mae. Obama's crowd did nothing to slow it down or stop it, rather guys like Dodd, Schumer, Franks used the system to pound out more contributions, sweet realestate deals and generally act like mobsters.

How does the editorial board at NBC and MSNBC look in the mirror each day? It's sad really. Scary and sad but we can all pray that regular guys like me are seeing past you propoganda and brain washing. It's not wrong to be on the other side of any issue but you are not beings newsworthy, you are puppets to some lesser known master.

Ok world I apologize for voting republican and voting for Bush, twice…. I will not however be snowed under again. No more flag waving BS, no character assassinations, no swift boats, not this time. You went to those wells over and over and I am sick of it.

Besides I have actually read most of Lincolns’ speeches and writings and I have to honestly admit that Oboma speaks and writes at the same level. Go ahead and say I drank the cool aid. In those days there was no shortage of mean and ignorant folk who hated Lincoln as well Just as many died hating FDR.

I haven’t drank any cool aid, I can think for myself while you ,my past friend are lost in the hate and fear of your own stupidity. Stay as bigot if you must but be brave enough to say so.

Here is how I see it…

McCain, a bad drunk and lousy pilot. A coward in Vietnam, a fool and pet to Keating, throughout his life a below grade mind. Traitor to his wife and family, lousy husband, lousy father, lousy senator and now lastly a traitor to America in service to his ambition.

Palin, a fool and generic dirtball politician, tax cheat, vindictive and mean in every way. On the run from her own Alaska government subpoenas….

To those of you who can actually go out day after day repeating the lies on TV and in public, well you are lower then the two political hacks you work for. You are stupid and easily bought.

To the press allowing lie after lie to be repeated without challenge, to give lie after lie airtime, you are worse cowards then the creeps working for McCain Palin. You claim principles but have none. You are lost, sold to corporate entities and shill for them like a bunch of Nazi propagandists

I will continue to say...for those who want to criticize Palin for this....if the media was investigating these issues/relationships of Obama even 1/10th of how they've investigated Palin, Palin wouldn't need to. I'm sick of reading media reports which say "according to news reports, Obama hasn't spent much time with Ayers". And yet you guys go to Alaska, spend a few months there, and interview every last Tom, Dick, and Harry there to find out the most trivial issues about Palin to try and bring her down? Give me a break.
When Barack Obama tells us he sat under Reverand Wright for 20 yrs, was married by him, viewed him as a "father figure" and his church promoted Louis Farrakhan as "man of the year" ... and yet Obama tells us he didn't know Wright's views??? And you guys are content with that answer and do no follow up to it?? Even Hillary Clinton knew that was a blatant lie and she called him on it. There's a pattern here of close ties to radicals and complete denial of them by Obama. The secrecy speaks volumes and you media folks, just like with John Edwards adultery, are accomplices by your blatant inaction and lack of integrity.
And it's only because of that that Republicans are made to force the issue.

Only a Republican could distort the facts to your own view like this. You guys are the masters of this. Barack Obama was fully vetted months ago. I could not look at a newspaper or turn on a tv or my computer without seeing a reverend wright story. Obama had a major speech that addressed this issue and the American public obviously accepted his explanation.
The media has a job to do and we all know it so spare us the sob story of Sarah Palin being "attacked" by the media. I mean really? Katie Couric? You right-wingers are enraged by Katie Couric? She is the queen of gotcha journalism? Truly pathetic. The media vetted her and America made the decision that she is woefully unqualified to be VP so don't get mad at the media. Get mad at the American people.
Your assertion that the Republican party is doing us all a favor by playing the old fear and smear game is freaking ridiculous. Where the Republicans doing America a favor in 2000 when Bush and Rove spread the lie that McCain had an affair which produced a "black baby"? How about when they said that his pow status made him crazy and unfit to command? You right-wingers have been doing this for years so dont try to bulls**t us and tell us your doing your patriotic service because the media wont because it not only makes you a liar, it makes you look completely stupid.
We are in 2 wars. The economy is in the toilet and you guys are too ignorant to talk about who's policy would be better for our children's future. No you wan't to talk about about associations. Well guess what genius? In the age of the internet any American can find out all they need to know about any politician and any associations or skeletons they have in there closets. We dont need to look at it through the hateful lense of the Rovian attack machine. That lense is solely for people like you who are too dumb to do there own research and form there own opinions.

It's a no brainer that Joe Biden won the vp debate. Sarah Palin didn't give ONE straight answer to any of the questions she was asked. She rambled with run-on sentences which made absolutely no sense! And to think she grew up in a family of school teachers...I guess English wasn't one of the subjects they taught!

And this Joe 6pack woman with her winking and "folksy" talk thinks she belongs in the White House?! She could no more carry on an intelligent conversation with a foreign leader than a 2 year old.

Her latest attacks on Barack are just a desperate attempt to stop the flow of voters running to the Democratic party. It won't work! Americans are fed up with Washington as usual, and McCain is a big part of it. How can he begin to make us believe he's one of us when his wife wears designer clothes, lots of jewelry and owns many homes. Not to mention her hobbies of race car driving and horses, which are both quite expensive to maintain.

McCain, your glory days are over! I've lost any respect I had for you as a person because of your latest campaign tactics. Get ready to pack up your office and head back to Arizona. You and Sarah are the last 2 people we need running the USA!
