The poll numbers, and whole "horserace" mentality of the election coverage is misleading. In terms of the electoral college, Obama has a commanding lead. I'm not saying the election is sewn up, in Obama's favor, but I'm a little tired of the storyline that "independents are shifting back and forth" "it's anybody's race" etc.
Honest coverage, and coverage that would be helpful to the voting public, would say that McCain is losing in traditionally red states, is falling behind in battleground states, and has been on a downward slide ever since people finally started catching on that Palin is not the salvation of the Republican party that people wanted her to be. Enough with the "horserace" mentality!

Well this Independent voter from Va.is supporting Obama Biden.

My wife and I are both in the military. She is serving her 26th year and Im on my 29th. One year to go for me. We have always voted fot the Republican ticket in the past even though we are Independent. After keeping up with this campaine and researching everything we could, we will be supporting Obama. McCain served his country with honor, but that in itself doesnt mean he will be a good President. What really sent us over the edge was the pick of Palin. The thought that she could be our Commander in Chief one day is scarey. Both Kennedy and Reagan were great at deplomacy and the Berlin Wall came down and we prevented a war with the Soviets during the Cuban missle crisis due to having brains in the White House that believed in deplomacy first.At one point Kennedy's four Generals and Chief of Staff were pressuring Kennedy to attack. Kennedy didnt fall to the pressure and used is brains and deplomacy to possibly stop a war and it worked. Does anyone acually believe, if McCain and Palin had been in office that they would have gone against their Generals and used deplomacy. I think not. If something were to happen to McCain, Palin would be in charge of the most powerful military in the world. I know about the Alaska National Guard but I also know she as never given them one single command. My Wife and I are sure in our beliefs that if McCain and Palin are elected, at the least, we would just continue with Bush policies or even worse. Obama believes not only in deplomacy first, before conflict, and has the brains to make it work. He will keep our military strong and country safe and will help fix the the worlds view of us. Remember the days when the international community respected and looked up to us. Please support the troops and God Bless America.

Dumb people voted for Bush, dumber people will vote for Obama/Biden

Good thing all the independents are voting for Obama!!!

Independent Voters:

Please read about Hussein Obama before you decide. Read

They are not polling the students. Having seen Palin's performance on CBS interview with Couric, I am scared to think that an idiot could become a president in case McCain passes on. Another Evita?

OBAMA, is a new way of doing new things. Bush/McCain is the old corrupt way.

McCain...how is the 1st wife you left high and dry...with a payments from Botox Barbie

But I also know my opinion doesn't matter because we also have a Senator Barney Frank who is .. a lisp talking dork who CAUSED all of this mess with his pressure to give out loans to low income people who obviously couldn't handle the payments! Now - go crawl into your hole ..

what a boring day---perhaps when palin starts cackling like a chicken on thursday we will have some entertainment------and george stop being so boring---even mcbush is getting predictable.

Bush finally sets a record that he deserves do richly.

Obama, ACORN, and Fannie Mae: What exactly does a "community organizer" do? Barack Obama's rise has left many Americans asking themselves that question. Here's a big part of the answer: Community organizers intimidate banks into making high-risk loans to customers with poor credit (Source: Stanley Kurtz, The National Review).

What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. ACORN is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because ACORN works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. ACORN likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama.

In the name of fairness to minorities, community organizers occupy private offices, chant inside bank lobbies, and confront executives at their homes - and thereby force financial institutions to direct hundreds of millions of dollars in mortgages to low-credit customers.

In other words, community organizers help to undermine the US economy by pushing the banking system into a sinkhole of bad loans. And Obama has spent years training and funding the organizers who do it. Read the shocking details...

Read the $700 Billion Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 bill currently in Congress.

Find out why Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are impeding Republican efforts to investigate Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Even Bill Clinton blames the democrats for obstructing efforts to investigate these corrupt institutions and their executives who stole tens of millions of taxpayer dollars.

In 2005, Sen. McCain co-sponsored a bill to tighten control of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. The bill was opposed primarily by House Democrats led by Rep. Frank Barney who wanted little control or oversight of these financial giants. Read the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 that was co-sponsored by Sen. McCain and rejected by House Democrats.

I make 18K a year part-time .. can I get a home loan for 350K please?? Sheesh! Wake up people ..

"OBAMA, is a new way of doing new things. Bush/McCain is the old corrupt way."

New way of doing things? Guess you having been paying attention. Chicago politicians are some of the most corrupt in the nation.

I voted for Sen. Clinton in the primary, and she's right when she says that she needs a president who will pass her version of Universal Health Care.

That person is Sen. Obama.

Mack you will be hard pressed to find any body dumber than john mccain. Finished 894 out of 899 in the naval academy.

I believe mccain when he says he knows nothing about the economy. He is the in the bush mold favors emotion over thinking.

Right on CW. My husband was a Navy Flight instructor during Nam. He too honors McCain's service. But he says pilots are graded on "headwork" - McCain's selection of Sarah Palin was seriously bad headwork. He and I are voting Obama/Biden.

I hope the American people don't vote for McCain and vote for Obama because he is a better man. McCain is a evil, rotten, twisted human being who is part of the good old boy establishment. He is a part of the money club that has destroyed our nation because of shear relentless decadence. We don't need change. What we need is a rediscovery of what it is to be a proud USONIAN. The religious right and pinko left need to leave the US and find UTOPIA somewhere else. The USA is for USONIANS and not religious zealots or left wing do gooders. The USA is for people who are willing to respect everyone including the religious zealots and left wing do gooders. The problem is the right and left have no idea who they are. So I will tell who you are. You are a USONIAN a person from the United States of America. Love it or Leave it.

I support loans to ALL low income people to give them the American dream .. a home they will default on because they don't make enough to rent let alone purchase!
