Gallop tracking now down to 4%. What happened to the 9%? Rasmussen tracking at 2%. and we know the polls tend to overstate Obama support.

tell you right now I will be scared of obama if he picks Kaine...

if he picks Kaine and McCain picks Ridge I will vote for McCain.

because it means Obama is not the man he said he was ...

and yes that would scare me.

McCain has so far showing himself: no value, no character to begin with, unpatriotic to lead this great nation.
McShame, you are risky and you scare me.
Carl Rove's tactic is so yesterday.

I admit to being afraid of Obama. The man wrote a private prayer to God in Israel, and stuck it in a holy wall where it could be found by someone and “leaked” to the press. Just in case it blew away and didn’t get leaked to the press, he xeroxed a copy of it and had it delivered to a couple of Israeli newspapers. Some people might find that amusing. I find it disturbing. Does this man have any scruples? As a Democrat, I was willing to vote for any Democratic candidate, as I always have. I was very much impressed with Barack Obama, but that was at the beginning of the campaign. The more I see of this man, the less I like him. I don’t want the Republicans in power again, but I just don’t see how I can vote for this man. It seems to be something new with this man every single day. I could overlook his church associations, his wife not being proud of America, etc. All that is marginal, as far as I’m concerned. What I can’t get past is the fact that he trotted over to Europe and tried to make himself President of the World. It disturbs me that he is talking policy, etc. with foreign leaders before he’s even wrapped up the Democratic nomination. Doesn’t this man realize that he still has to win the election before he starts to govern? If his ego is this big now, how big will it be when he actually takes the oath of office? I can’t believe I’m 54 years old, and contemplating voting for a Republican.

No, Obama McCain doesnt make me scared of you. You make me scared of you, you and your ego, you and your non stances, you and your choke hold on the dnc frighten me.

Of course, Obama is frightening. Much of the money that has come to him over the Internet has come from foreign countries, including China and Arab countries. He finally admitted as much. Those who believe all the money he’s raised has come from black people and college kids are just plain naieve. Why do all these foreign people want this man elected? Do they have America’s best interests at heart, or their own?

THEY BOTH SUCK!!!

So what they are going to try to do is make you scared of me,” Obama warned, “You know he's not patriotic enough. He's got a funny name. You know, he doesn't look like all of those other presidents on the dollar bills.” WE ALL CONCEDE OBAMA THAT YOU ARE DIFFERENT. THE QUESTION IS NOT THAT YOU ARE BLACK BUT YOUR EXPERIENCE VERSES YOUR ROCK STAR IMAGE THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS PAINTING. THE QUESTION IS YOUR CHARACTER AND THE FRIENDS THAT YOU HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS. THE QUESTION IS THAT YOU PLEDGE SOMETHING AND THEN CHANGE YOUR MIND (TOO MANY TO LIST). John McCain and campaign do not have to make the public scared of you----you are doing just fine all on your own. NOW YOU ARE PROPOSING WAR, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PEACE TALKS?

Your post is highly subjective! It is easy to deny that the Republicans are using race-scare tactics. Do you think Nixon would have admitted that his Southern strategy was racist? Unfortunately, that's the only thing Republicans know: make you scare of the other candidate. George Bush even used this same strategy against McCain. You would think the old man would know better.

BREAKING NEWS: Carl Rove charged with Contempt.
ONE AT A TIME, KEEP THEM COMING. TAKE BUSH WITH THEM.

Dear Ms. Carrie,

Its bad enough when Republicans print lies and half-truths about Obama. Why would a Democrat do such a thing?

Please, provide one shred of evidence that can be authenticated that Senator Obama "xeroxed a copy of it [his prayer] and had it delivered to a couple of Israeli newspapers."

I too can't believe that you are 54 or voting for a Republican.

Regards,
Kees

The private Western Wall prayer was not leaked. That's been debunked: check the Israeli news sources and this as well - "just got off the phone with a Ma'ariv spokesman who says that the accusation is "completely false," and that he has no idea who these papers were quoting from Ma'ariv. "No official spokesman for Ma'ariv told this to any of the papers." I've got some calls in to these papers to find out where they got the quote. (I'll update here when I hear back.) He told me definitively that "the Obama campaign did not give us a copy of the letter or approve it for printing."

Now what does it say about you that you're so eager to embrace this smear?"

If the posts on this site are any indication, it is all too evident that most people clearly will be voting based on their visceral reactions and emotions stoked by candidates' hype and "swiftboating" rather than based on any critical analysis of whether what they propose to do, and the direction in which they propose to take this country, make sense. It's too bad we have such a "television news" culture.

McCain is losing it. Really. Compare him in 2000 to now. He's not the same man he was. He gets confused. He can't make a coherent statement. His campaign says he doesn't speak for the campaign. He sounds timid then explosive. What's scary is having McCain's early stage dementia progressing through the oval office.

McCain is the risky one, with his cadres of lobbyists and right wing think tanks running roughshod over the constitution.

It is imperative that we have a changing of the guard because the Republicans haven't been minding the country's business. For eight years they have been selling us out to the highest bidder and the damage done to the nation is mind-boggling.

There is no choice. Vote Obama. Vote for change. Vote the Republicans into the oblivion they have earned and so richly deserve.

The only candidate I'm scared of is one who would call his own wife a c-nt in public and who would sing a song about nuking Iran and killing millions of innocent people.

That's John McCain, and he's just as psychotic as Bush, for all the same reasons.

He's a silverspoonfed Republican bigot. The mental disease is what leads these freaks to become Republicans... it's not some big coincidence all these Goopers are nuts.

I think it is really funny how all you republicans are afraid of losing it all. First the house and now the Whitehouse. McSame is doing what W did for his re-election. Fear Tactics. Thats all he has. McSame flip flops everytime Obabma speaks of his plans.

Obama camp complains that 1/4 of McCain's proposed tax cuts will go to those making millions. OK. Who are the other 3/4 going to? Us, maybe?

A recent poll demonstrated an overwhelming majority thinks Obama is the riskier candidate. Is he implying they are all manipulated by McCain? Maybe all clinging to their God and guns too.

Spectacularly unqualified, as a London paper said. It was very irresponsible of the party to put Obama forward as our candidate.

It's amazing reading these GOP posts.
Not one original thought... every word programmed into them, what they've heard... what they're told to think.
When are you sheep for the GOP, going to *get* that you're voting against what's best for you, and your children?
Listen to McCain... all he does is attack Obama. He has no ideas to solve this country's problems... if he's elected, what you see now, is what is going to continue.
At least listen to what Obama says... do some research, and look at his policy thoughts. Then make a decision.
But to repeat the lies you're told, without thinking for yourselves... what a waste of a brain. And more importantly, the future you're forcing on your kids, by ignoring reality, and voting for the same policies that have put this country into this mess.

The funny part is that all you people slamming McCain are probably the same ones who were giddy with excitement when he was rumored to be a possible running mate for John Kerry. Now, it's the "Bush/McCain" whatever, or he's senile and crazy. John McCain hasn't changed from four years ago when he was your hero!
