You make it sound like she is the second coming of Elvis or something. Big deal. I am sure you are going to tell us she outdraws Obama right?

I guess all these nitwit cons going to see her want a glimpse of her one and only US tour. She is done in 18 days.

John McCain's peace summit visit to CBS' "Late Show" gave David Letterman his highest viewership in nearly three years.

The Thursday night telecast was seen by 6.5 million viewers, and received a 1.7 rating in the adult demo. That's the largest audience for the show since December, 2005, when Oprah Winfrey appeared. "Late Show" also topped Jay Leno's "Tonight Show" (4.6 million viewers) by 43%, and Leno had Joe Biden as a guest.

I fail to see your agenda here. You are touting these impressive numbers, and yet you are getting completely wiped off the political map. Congratulations on that.

Obama! Obama! Obama!

The future is within reach, less than month to be exact. A democrat in the oval office means prosperity once again.

Yes, Obama will let you live....... the good life.

Just down the road Sarah had 4000 in Salem, solo.

LOL. Fool, you do know you are an utter fool, right? Firstly, Obama does consistently and regularly outdraw his opponents. Secondly, why the Hell is your girl Palin, outdrawing the top of the ticket?

Thirdly, why is McCain campaigning in states he has NO shot at? Iowa. Wisconsin. Pennsylvania. NO chance in either of those. Meanwhile Obama is spending time in VA, NC and FL, all red states that are or have turned blue.

Dude, I don't know if you are just playing with me and trying to get me riled up, or are you really this politically inept.

States that went for W in 2004, IA, FL, VA, NC, MO, NM and CO are all now blue. Some are dark blue, and some pale blue. Meanwhile, McCain has not picked up ONE single state that Kerry carried in 04.

Outstanding. You keep up the optimism. Obama wants to instill that in ALL Americans.

PS- LOL, North Dakota. LOL, North fucking Dakota is a light shade of blue today, and WV is white(tied). Epic candidate, epic campaign and epic party you got yourself there Cons.

I will be all over you retarded thinking morons come November 4th. I figure they(the mainstream press) will announce Obama as "president Elect" at about 815PM Pacific. I will then completely take over this motherfucker and you will know I am here without even logging on. You will feel the heat emanating from your PC before you logon.

Dude, I hate to be the one to tell you but yesterday Obama had a rally in Londonderry, New Hampshire (what's he doing up there anyway, that's supposed to be in his column already),

New Hampshire is a slave state caught on the wrong side of Washington and it is very unique. Had Kerry carried it and it's 4 electoral college votes, he would be president. In any event, NH is a very independent state and McCain has always been strong there. He beat W's sorry ass in 2000 there, and look no further than Obama having a 9 point lead against Hillary and losing. Obama is a smart guy and knows how to campaign. The funniest thing I see here is McCain backers criticizing the guy who holds a landslide victory in the palm of his hand, and is destroying his opponent in every facet and at every turn.

There will be NO tax hike for those earning under 250K, if Obama is elected. He has said that 578 times. I guess Fox News doesn't tell you that though do they?

The last democrat president that had a chance to follow through on his campaign promises, promised middle class tax cuts. He lied, never delivered. In fact he raised gas taxes on the middle class. Anyone's a stupid dupe who actually believes Obama and a democrat led congress isn't going to bend them over and rape them.
No worrys. McCain's gonna win.

You know politics but you obviously don't know economics...if you raise taxes on businesses, as Obama has said 578 times following saying he won't raise taxes on those making $250,000/yr, the business merely pass the tax on to us via higher prices. So we end up paying it anyways. Take a look at your phone or electric bills one time and see the taxes they pass on. The are usually listed as a "recovery" fee.

I agree with you Obama is going to win, but at least be realistic about what his tax hikes are going to do to the country.

I know the economy a helluva lot better than you know politics. You saying Kerry was up 8 points on election day is Bush-like stupid.

Obama is NOT going to raise taxes on INDIVIDUALS who make less than 250K per year. Where the Hell did I ever say or mention business?

First and foremost...who gives a fuck how many people are showing up at political rallies. Most of the nutbags who actually attend these things are a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic! As for what Obama is doing in NH...Let me enlighten you. He has a campaign going on right now! Saying he has NH "in his column already" is just dopey. Do you not remember the primary, when he had a double digit lead on Hillary in NH, and lost? If you were half as intelligent as you tell everyone you are, you would know that New Hampshire almost always votes Republican, and that John McCain has always had a VERY strong presence in the state of NH!

Yeah, so we'll be unaffected. Unless of course we work for a business or buy products from a business.

Fuck, the Texas National Guard? He was never "present." That fucking asshole was too busy doin booger sugar and being absent for physicals. He had NO intention of ever serving in combat.

That picture by the way, is President Retard acting tough and gruff, on the Carrier announcing "mission Accomplished." LOL, He was a bit off with that one wasn't he? Stupid dick.

Not good news Cons-

100,000 ballots cast YESTERDAY, the first day of early voting in North Carolina.

The North Carolina State Board of Elections is reporting that over 100,000 voters cast ballots yesterday, the first day of early voting in the state.

In that one day, Democrats had the clear advantage:

State Board of Elections data showed that 64 percent of voters who went to the polls Thursday were registered Democrats, while 21 percent of voters were registered Republicans. Another 15 percent were unaffiliated.

The record turnout, especially among Democrats, is being fueled by the sense that, for the first time in decades, North Carolina is in play. Both presidential campaigns are investing heavily in NC, although Obama is outspending McCain 2-1 in advertising.

This is NOT good for Mac backers.

Today, news out of New Mexico, the state GOP looked at information for 92 newly-registered voters in one district, and found 28 had "missing or inaccurate Social Security numbers or birth dates. In some cases, more than one voter was registered using the same Social Security number. In others, people who the Republicans said had no Social Security number on public record were registered." All of these are of individuals who have already cast ballots in the June New Mexico state legislative Democratic primary.

Hey, guess who was out registering voters in this district before the primary? Aw, you saw this coming - ACORN. The same group running into legal troubles in thirteen other states. When you see the same issues coming up with the same group in fourteen different instances, how much more evidence do you need before you conclude that this is "organized voter fraud"?

Many small business owners report their business income as their own, so yes, their taxes would effectively go up.
