So this means Obama will lose Virginia? Rainy weather usually keeps the Dem demo voters out of the polling places, so McCain's rural conservatives should be enough to carry the state for him.

Weather won't keep voters away this election.
Posted by: annie | Nov 2, 2008 10:25:36 PM
Obama supporters stand out in the rain with him, nothing will keep them from voting.
Posted by: Kathy | Nov 2, 2008 10:31:01 PM
Obama holds his rallies despite the rain and tens of thousands of people are there with him, while McCain cancels his events due to the rain, sounds discouraging for his supporters. I think McCain should be more worried about the bad weather in battleground states.

Bankrupt coal mines and Electricity rates will sky rocket!! Obama is horrible!

Obama, Jan 2008:
"If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it's just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," Barack Obama said to the San Francisco Chronicle in January.
Share this Obama quote with every member of the United Mine Workers in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Ohio.

A profile in political courage this is not. Given his recent gaffe on redistributionism, though, it’s probably smart. ABC’s Jake Tapper tried to get Obama to talk about his plans for the economic rescue plan, but Obama refused:
JT: What would you tell your Treasury Secretary to do differently with the $700 billion?
Obama: We’re on a tarmac.
JT: Why don’t you have a press conference?
BO: I will. On Wednesday.
Remember when the media screeched over Sarah Palin’s lack of press availability after the convention? Neither Obama nor Joe Biden have taken questions from the press in weeks. If Palin’s fortnight of preparation somehow revealed her unreadiness for higher office, what does this say about Barack Obama?

Obama, Jan 2008, SF Chronicle.
"The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.
You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers."

eh, whatever, it's just one vote anyways, no one is going to miss it. If it rains, I'm not going to be stupid and get in a line just to vote. that's just stupid.

Palin refuses to do the Sunday Morning shows (Biden has done all of them) and prefers the infomercials with Fox to get her "message" out.
The fact you would even consider asking the question says so much about you.....

America can not afford a Marxist to throw it all away for all of us. Obama would like to not only bankrupt Coal industry, and electricity, but also many many more diligent business owners like Joe the plumber. It is way too dangerous to have someone not vetted to get into the White House by his, in my opinion, not that great speeches. "A ideological..." should have been "An ideological..." Obama makes mistakes in speeches that high school students do not make. I can overlook that if a president make a few English mistakes. but it's a shame that SPEECHES are the only thing that Obama's got. He can not be America's president. He will ruin this country. I am making sure to vote for McCain/Palin on Tuesday. And I will not take the day off as Obama so disrespectfully suggested. He wants all businesses and their owners to suffer...think about who will pay his heavy taxes for the government to hand out social welfare checks!

I will vote Obama in - I have been waiting for government hand out all my life, and he will make that happen for me. Why should I work hard? Own business? Let Bill Gates and Warren Buffet pay 60%, 70%, even 90% taxes, so you and I don't have to work for a living. They are capitalists and deserve to spread their wealth to us.

The Last One:
The final Gallup 2008 pre-election poll -- based on Oct. 31-Nov. 2 Gallup Poll Daily tracking -- shows Barack Obama with a 53% to 42% advantage over John McCain among likely voters. When undecided voters are allocated proportionately to the two candidates to better approximate the actual vote, the estimate becomes 55% for Obama to 44% for McCain.

"just vote", I am sorry but the poll is like Acorn's fraudulent registration of dead people and prisoners to elect Obama. The fix was in. Shame on all of you who are in cahoots to steal an election from its sacred process.
Posted by: Nancy | Nov 3, 2008 12:26:29 AM
Nancy - Why is the Gallup poll "like Acorn's fraudulent registration of dead people and prisoners to elect Obama."?
Did a dead person vote? Now that WOULD be election fraud.
btw - great new book - HOW TO RIG AN ELECTION by Allen Raymond is available at Amazon. He worked for the GOP and helped get BUSH into office. Talk about being "in cahoots to steal an election from its sacred process." Those darn Republicans.
Posted by: just Vote | Nov 3, 2008 12:37:08 AM
nancy the polls just like the msn are trying to direct public opinion instead of reflecting it.
if they can demoralize us, we quit, we don't vote, we give up-the obama game plan. don't fall for it. have more faith in the american people than in the polls.
