It's the ground game folks!

Obama has the ground game while the GOP does not.

He can scramble all he wants. McLame and his party are out of touch, out of ideas and out of time. Go home McLame and sit in your rocking chair. You look older by the second. We don't need this in the WH - what happens when he looses control and starts shaking like a fool (oh, wait a minute - he is a fool) and touches the wrong button? Wake Up Voters! There is no conclusion but that we need a new, younger, and more calm and collected voice in Washington and it isn't McLame, Botox Barbie McLame and prom queen Sarah.

McCain is pathetic. Anything not to talk about the issues Americans are concerned about. Next he will bring out Rev. Wright and then we can talk about Palin's witch hunting minister.

McSame, who did not have the ability to understand the economy and the economics of running a country, he, who has followed the wrong path of McBush as a sidekick for the last 8 years is now trying to portray himself as the "other" side? This blatant lying is actually showing him in his true colors. His lack of judgment in blindly following and supporting the Iraq war, a failing proposition, as even the Iraqis now want us out as fast as possible, instead of the 100 years McSame wanted, his wrong judgment of Palin as VP, the most unprepared and unqualified person for this post at this time, shows how wrong he is and can be and will be. McSame is the wrong man to help us out of the problems we are now facing. Wrong time, wrong man, wrong McSame.!

Sen. McCain stepped up his attack this week when he said that the Obama plan's "billions of dollars in higher taxes would kill jobs." An Obama aide responded that "Sen. McCain's tax policy is an exercise in unprecedented fiscal recklessness" that would "explode the deficit."

Obama does not get it. MORE jobs means more taxes collected with spending cuts means REDUCTION of the deficit.

Obama wants to tax the oil companies and waste the collected taxes with federal government spending. The same spending waste used for his housing projects in Illinois. Where did the tax dollars go?

You Betcha Palin Is A Tough Governor: This is Governor Palin Way Of Spending Oil Tax Money.

During the oil crisis of 2007, Palin fought to raise taxes on oil companies. As fuel prices skyrocketed in the lower 49 states, Palin complained that her state wasn't getting its share of the windfall.

Palin successfully pushed for a law that raised taxes on oil profits. The increase amounted to an estimated $1.6-billion annually more for the state: double the amount it received the year before. Then she gave the money to the people.

It’s true: we've already checked her claim that she sent "a large share of that revenue directly back to the people of Alaska."

On Aug. 7, 2008, the Alaska Legislature approved a measure she promoted. The administration of Alaska's governor Sarah Palin now gives $1,200 to every single Alaskan. This comes to about $741-million for state residents. In addition, each resident will receive an annual dividend of $2,000 from an oil-wealth savings account. That comes to about $741-million for state residents
For a family of 7 (Gov. Palin has 7 members in her family) that means an additional $22,400.00 in income sent from the state of Alaska. WOW, who needs a job! Back to the trailer, Billy Bob!

Sarah Palin is more ready for the Washington, D.C. crowd than Obama. Obama has proven he cannot even take care of a simple housing project. How can YOU expect Obama to run the country?

Obama gave the people in Illinois broken down housing and dangerous living conditions. Where did the money go? What pockets were filled with tax payers’ money from Washington, D.C.? We know where Governor Sarah Palin’s tax money is. The tax money is in the pockets of the residents of Alaska. BOOOOOOOO To Obama. BOOOOOOOO To Obama

He has aged a lot. Which is scary, because we could end up with Palin running the country.

So much at stake, and the message is not resonating. What is a candidate to do? HOw do they justify their tactics ................

Just sit and think about this, Mccain wins the Election, A couple of days weeks or Months something happens to him Guess what PALIN IS OUR PRESIDENT Think about that why you have your Coffee this Morning! SCARY AINT IT!!

According to the article Obama is going to Hawaii to visit his ailing grandmother. I hope she comes thru OK, we would not want this to be one of the reason's Obama is distracted.

But on the other hand, here we are in a finacial crisis, it took President Bush to request Obama to help with our ailing economy.

The draft of our young men into the military will return with Obama. Therefore, all you mothers and grandmothers out there remember your vote for Obama drafted your sons and grandsons into the military. Here is why it will happen:

Michael F. Scheuer, the founding head of the CIA's bin Laden unit: Senator Obama must have left a couple zeroes off his plan for reinforcements. Two brigades -- which is about 6,000 men -- will not make a lick of difference in Afghanistan, which is a country the size of Texas, with the highest mountains on earth, a hostile population, and a growing Islamist insurgency. If Obama starts talking about 100 brigades -- about 300,000 men -- then the public might be able to assume he means business. Otherwise, he is just blowing smoke. Obama and all the other candidates in the other parties constantly say that "we have tried the military option and it does not work." This of course is a bald lie; U.S. military power has been used most daintily in Afghanistan and Iraq. If the military power we have delivered in both places so far is the best we can do, then American taxpayers have been monumentally swindled in the amount of taxes they have paid for their military during the past 25 years. And another billion dollars for aid for Afghan reconstruction would just be another billion wasted. It appears that Obama and his fellow candidates in both parties have not learned that programs for economic recovery, internal stability, and nation-building cannot be started with any hope of effectiveness and durability until the enemy has been definitively annihilated. If Obama is right and the military option has failed, then more aid is just throwing money away because -- as all can see -- the enemy is growing in size and ferocity and shows no signs of being on the edge of annihilation.

Democrat President LB Johnson used Vietnam to enrich the industrial-military-complex. Moreover, the Vietnam War helped LB Johnson with the unemployment problem. Sounds cruel and unreal, but it is a historic fact.

Then there is the opportunity to draft women into the national service of many different jobs. You never heard of the national service program that Colin Powell and Barack Obama think is a great idea. Obama will be full of surprises because Democrats want to control people. Of course, that is not socialism, but then I do not know what to call it. Demsoism may be a good name.

It all comes down to two things: money and organization. Obama has plenty of both. Because of the money he can compete in every state he chooses, including those normally red. McCain has to defend those states that may turn blue. In Indiana for example, Obama has 44 field offices while McCain has none. Axelrod's organization has resulted in hundreds of thousands of new voter registrations, and on election day that organization will turn to getting out the vote.

A little late for McCain to be looking for a viable anti-Obama message...

I LOVE the fact that Palin, Gulliani, Thompson, McCain and others all made condescending remarks about Obama's experience as an organizer.

Now Obama has beat them by being much better organized and one step ahead of them the entire race. He has showed superior leadership and planning by all measures.

McCain and Parrot have no idea how to lead.

Obama is about change, so McCain decided he was about change.

Obama was helping the middle class, so McCain decided he should start talking about the middle class.

Now McCain is trying to be the "fighter" like Hillary displayed in the primary.

Too funny. Nothing new. No new ideas. No new direction. Same old GOP.

Face it, with all of Obama's money, and most of the media in the tank for Obama--Obama STILL can't close the deal--

Still, Obama and his fan club (including the media-ABC, CBS, NBC(WHAT A JOKE); AND CNN(MSNBC wannabes) still make fun of McCain and Palin.

I was a long time democrat-but after witnessing the vile attacks on McCain and especially Hillary and Palin--I am so totally done with the democrats.

'Hail to the Chief', President-Elect Barack Obama!

NEILPA
So sad for you to rely on FIXED NEWS(FOX NEWS),For you Information everyone knows Fox news fries the Brain! and so sad of you Too turn your Back on Hillary she Supports Barack, And She is voting for him,Guess you like the way the past 8 years has been and you want more GOOD LUCK!

John McCain is a good, honorable and trustworthy man who would make a great president.

Blackjack,

Your funny.

You failed to mention how the Parrot requested more FEDERAL money per capita than any other governor as part of her "fiscal conservativism". (More than Obama did) Shhhhhhhh. Don't mention that ok?

Also, the oil tax back-to-the-people of Alaska was already in place BEFORE she was governor. She just increased it.

And what? She INCREASED taxes on the oil companies? Doesn't this go directly against your initial point that raising taxes reduces jobs? Now I'm confused.

Please get your comments organized. You're acting like the McCain campaign. You're all over the place.

And what you and McCain fail to realize is that business will not create more jobs for anyone if there is no market. When consumers - i.e. 85% of us who make up the middle class - have no money, there will be no more job creating.

Supply side economic theory has FAILED miserably. EVERY economic metric shows this. You guys are still trying to say that the economy is driven by production. It's driven by consumption.

It's true that the Bush administration has stood for light regulation of capital markets. But it did not invent this approach. By the middle of the last decade, experts across the spectrum believed that U.S. financial institutions faced outmoded restraints on their ability to innovate. Thus, the Clinton administration, supported by then-Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, refused to tighten regulations on financial derivatives, memorably dubbed "financial weapons of mass destruction" by Warren Buffett. The 1999 repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act, a Depression-era law separating commercial banking and investment banking, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton.

Should also focus on Obama's drug use. This was not the casual use of pot but a hard core drug that if he were caught would have been a felony and disqualify from from even running for president. In many countries he would just be getting out of jail.
