	DemoFan 10/04/2008 12:00:00 AM McCain is the one throwing all the dirt
	BetsyOTexie 10/04/2008 12:00:00 AM Not according to what I heard. One study said Obama's ads were running 77% negative, but McCain's are only 56% negative.
	DemoFan 10/04/2008 12:00:00 AM Maybe, but the word is that McCain is getting ready to go to the mattresses. The main doesn't know he's already dead.
	DizzieLizzie 10/04/2008 12:00:00 AM Sadly, McCain has no chance at all unless we get another Pastor Wright-style bombshell, or worse.
	ALNim 10/06/2008 9:45:00 PM As McCain and Obama prepare for Tuesday night's debate, all eyes are on the presidential prize. With Obama up by roughly eight percentage points in national polls, and leading by 60 to 100 electoral votes, voters strain to hear about issues while pundits look for deal-killing gaffes. Only about 12% of the voters remain undecided, which is why most viewers of the first two debates came away convinced their candidate had won. While Obama is playing to run out the clock, McCain is shooting more and more desperate long shots in the hope for some unlikely luck. What would you like to see in the Tuesday debate - more of the same, or something more? Touch base with the Internet Voters Guide to let us know your thoughts before, during and after the debate.
	DemoFan 10/06/2008 10:17:01 AM I want to see McCain lose it and lash out at Obama.
	GunLovinGirl 10/06/2008 10:20:02 AM I sure hope he bones up on economics and stops Obama from pretending like he wants to balance the budget when what he really wants to do is give tons of money to his friends favorite social causes.
	DizzieLizzie 10/06/2008 10:21:05 AM I just want to see McCain dominate like the Commander-in-Chief I know he can be.
	DemoFan 10/06/2008 10:23:08 AM Good luck with that. McCain still seems shell-shocked to me, ever since the bailout talks began.
	DizzieLizzie 10/06/2008 10:24:13 AM I actually thought the first debate was excellent. I was just disappointed because McCain let Obama dominate, and we all know Obama is a lightweight.
	DemoFan 10/07/2008 8:08:06 PM Obama's off to a strong start on economy - sounds strong and presidential. McCain sounds bitter and angry, like he is a victim and not a leader.
	BetsyOTexie 10/07/2008 8:10:21 PM Oh, I can't believe McCain just suggested an Obama supporter (Warrent Buffett) for Secretary of Treasury! Johnny, we hardly knew ya.
	JackWit 10/07/2008 8:11:48 PM I can't believe McCain made that sarcastic crack to Obama - "good to see you at a town hall meeting". Even I'm not that big a jck$$.
	GunLovinGirl 10/07/2008 8:13:50 PM At last someone is nailing the Democrats for failing to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Barney Frank is trying to take credit for the reform when he's the one who needs reforming.
	GunLovinGirl 10/07/2008 8:00:00 PM McCain and Obama square off over the economy tonight. What are your reactions? Blog them in real time.
	BetsyOTexie 10/07/2008 8:21:05 PM Obama sounds pretty short with the woman who doesn't trust either party - not very friendly. He says he understands her cynicism, but acts like he's really annoyed.
	BetsyOTexie 10/07/2008 8:22:21 PM Yeah, for the first time tonight McCain sounds empathetic. He sounds every bit as cynical as her ... like they're chums in the battle against the Washington politicos. I wish he had done that in his opening remark.
	DemoFan 10/07/2008 8:24:31 PM Why is it every time McCain wants to talk about wasteful spending, he picks some teeny little $3 million project that has some benefits, when the Republicans have been wasting billions every day since Bush took office? And what's wrong with spending $3 million on a science education project?
	FightinIrish 10/07/2008 8:29:47 PM Obama just said something really dumb: he said when Kennedy announced the goal of going to the moon, no one knew how to do it. WRONG! The rocket boys knew how. Obama wants us to think that no one knows how to remove dependence on foreign oil, but we can do it. What a dumbie! Plenty of people know how - but they know it means drilling offshore, drilling in ANWR, and building nuclear plants again. The Dems are in total denial about what is required to do the job, and Obama is following, not leading.
	DemoFan 10/07/2008 8:33:29 PM Obama just endorsed drilling offshore.
	BetsyOTexie 10/07/2008 8:35:13 PM Maybe he mentioned offshore, but he then copped out by talking about the "unused 68 million acres" now under lease. Everyone knows the oil companies will drill if they think oil is there. They don't think oil is there! This is a straw man excuse the libs love to use.
	BetsyOTexie 10/07/2008 8:43:13 PM Who woulda guessed it: McCain just cleaned Obama's clock on Social Security. Brokaw asks a yes/no question and Obama says three paragraphs! Can't guarantee fixing it in two years! McCain says the truth: Social Security is easy. We know how to do it. Ronald Reagan did it! Why can't Obama?
	DemoFan 10/07/2008 8:50:26 PM McCain's outburst about energy just now was so patronizing I wanted to scream. I admire Obama's self-restraint.
	DizzieLizzie 10/07/2008 8:52:21 PM I don't know who to believe. Is Obama against nuclear power or not? McCain says he's against it, Obama says he's for it, but McCain is saying that Obama is lying about supporting it. I wish I knew which was true.
	DizzieLizzie 10/19/2008 11:20:00 AM Retired General Colin Powell, who is former Secretary of State, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a long time Republican, today endorsed Senator Barack Obama for President. Powell said he sees Obama as potentially transformational, and can have great benefits for reforming America's image worldwide. He prefaced his support by saying that McCain had been a friend for 25 years, and that he has a lot of respect and admiration for him, but that the Republican Party had made a lot of mistakes that must be accounted for. Only a decade ago Powell himself was considered a likely presidential candidate, and many would have bet on him to be the first African-American to win the White House. The popularity that he and President George H.W. Bush gained from winning the First Gulf War and bringing it to a swift conclusion did not last long for Bush. The problems he encountered, due to a downtown in the economy, led to his re-election defeat, but had no effect on Powell's popularity, as he stayed on during the Clinton Administration. Powell eventually bowed out of any consideration for a presidential candidacy, saying did not have the "fire in the belly" required to make such a race. Now he says he is confident that Obama will be "ready to serve on Day One", and that he has "the intellectual vigor" to hold the job. One liberal pundit called the endorsement the "final nail in the coffin of John McCain". Conservative pundit George Will said he heard "the cracking in the ice". But Powell's popularity took a real hit when he spoke at the United Nations on behalf of President George W. Bush's accusations against Iraq that quickly led to war. If Powell's support, which amounts to nothing more than announcing he will vote for Obama, is to have any impact on the election, pollsters look to middle-aged white undecided voters to be most affected by this endorsement - a sort of validation of not only Obama, but also potentially for Powell as well.
