Interactive Graphic: Swing States on the 2008 Electoral Map

why is it that McBush supporters can't see the truth in front of their eyes, and speak like they are the voice of all. Newsflash-------- the rest of us will make sure Obama will be President...from a WHITE, GERMAN-BORN-FEMALE

Obama taking our guns away is not so far fetched, take a look at how he's voted in the senate and draw your own conclussions. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens will do very little if anything to prevent criminals from obtaining them. Taking our guns away also violates our second amendment right. Obama's short record speaks for itself. Ensure that we keep our guns and vote McCain today!

mommy2two: you and I, and all of us were once apes. Or forget that. Say we're all decendents of God. We'll it's a finite world. No aliens that we know of. So, we must ALL be related to each other somewhere in history.

I started out working at a factory. I worked very hard and many hours. I made many sacrifices and saved as much as I could. I also took college classes to get a degree and to better myself. This also took alot of money and mroe time. I then went into considerable debt and sacrificed more so that I could start my own business, which was my dream my whole life. It took several years and many more sacrifices and more stress than I thought a person could possibly take. All the stress, long hours, hard work, and many many sacrifes finally paid off. Now owning my own business and doing quiet well, I still have to make many sacrifes still and still have alot of stress that goes along with it. One thing any business owner will tell you is that almost 50% of your income goes to taxes - federal, social security, workmens comp., property, city, state, business, and the list goes on. If my taxes increase I will be forced to raise prices, reduce wages for my emplyees, and even lay some employees off. I have house payments, car payments, kids to care for, college to pay for, and utility bills just like my employees do. I also pay half of their social security, 90% of their insurance, holiday pay, sick pay, uniforms, and bonuses. I worked hard to get to where I am and had to face many obsticles and rejection. But I did what had to be done and did not give up and now Obama wants to tax me even more so that the ones who don't want to make the sacrifes and put in the 80 hours a week, and go hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and don't want to take care of their own health, he want to take my hard earned money and give it to them. I treat my emplyees very well and they are paid a fair wage. Some of them want to vote for Obama and take the risk of losing their job due to me having to cut back on exspences due to Obama's economic plan. I hope and pray for me and my famlily's sake and for the sake of my emplyee's jobs Obama does not get elected ! ! ! !

I am truly shocked by some of the comments here. A responsible citizen will have questioned BOTH candidates, sought answers from several sources, and finally made a decision based on that research. Judging from the comments, some people forgot their responsibilities...make sure you are not spreading lies please....it's not good for us!

Oh Jason Hutchcraft, be glad that I???m not a democrat, otherwise I would have to go through all of your personal files, trash and income taxes (if you ever actually paid any), because if you say something that the democrats don???t like, like Joe the Plumber did, then the democrats will hunt you down.

Looks like the sheeple have fallen for the Hitler trick when he was able to mesmerize a population into believing they were the best thing since the gestapo. My fellow sheeple, be afraid, be very afraid of the shepard who you choose to lead the flock

Standards in America;
Over the past 5-7 years our nation has been rocked by not only the rising trillion dollar national debt, but also nagging domestic issues such as sex scandals, hypocrisy, dishonesty, greed, arrogant and selfish behaviors, family feuds and breakup, racial tension, disrespectful and abrasive language, child abuse and pornography, rebellious students in classrooms, many passive and inefficient leaders in communities, children lacking firm discipline and parental guidance. Which is due to a steep decline in our nation???s moral and ethical values and, as an end result, this has infected the political arena, religious community and the private sectors across the United States of America like a deadly ???Bubonic Plague???.

Men in America
Men, with all due respect, regardless of our social status and present circumstances, we are overall responsible for the current state of our homes, communities, cities, states and nation. Therefore, I strongly encourage every adult male that is truly gifted with integrity, faithfulness, discipline, Trustworthy and impartial, that uses sound judgment and is skillful in the use of time management, materials and financial resources, from every neighborhood, to better lead our families, communities and nation in managing our vast amounts of precious economic, social, material and financial resources wisely.

Lead on Mr. Obama, lead on!

The vote totals by category seem to indicate there are 554 votes when there are only 538. Fuzzy Math?

I am truly shocked by some of these comments. Responsible citizens will have questioned both candidates, sought answers from several different sources, and finally made a sound decision for their vote. From many of these comments, I can see that adequate research has not been done...open your minds please.

Funny comment jasonhutchcraft. Name one lie in any of my postings. They are all fact. The problem is that BO has spent so much time lying or denying what he stands for that Americans don't know what they are voting for. You are much like the typical democrat. When some one provides you with facts that you don't like, you attack the person. Just like Joe the Plumber and what you are doing to me. You know I'm correct, so you attack me instead of discussing the facts. You and your party are the ones that BO was referring to when he talked about taking pride in ignorance!!!!

Ok lets see everyone is getting angry at everyone for there reasons for there vote? Why? We have made up our minds up to this point just make sure you have made a clear and correct choice not by race or by the media but you must do your own research on your vote. If you dont then you are just as stupid as everyone else. The sad thing is everyone keeps saying this is not about race then why is everyone talking about it? I know that there is racism every where but hey ignorance is bliss. I know I will vote today not on color or because Im a white folk but because Im a proud AMERICAN and you should vote as a woman this was something that We haven't always been albe to do. So Im proud and honored to do so. I hope everyone comes together in the end and just lets the next man run the country, and let the best man win.

The count on the left side of the map seems to indicate that there are 554 votes up for grabs, when it should only be 538. Is this fuzzy math?

Your publication like the main media networks have done a fantastic job of keeping the real Obama from ever being discovered in this election. Hitler,Sadam,Putin, Castro would have been proud of your diligence in dunbing down the voting population. Propaganda would be way to kind to discribe the media efforts to minimalize the real Obama and his past including the fact he has less experience than Palin. I could only hope some day you will all who are supposed to be the press get back your wrong doing to this country. Would it not be a better world if you wrer all intelectually honest about the way you do your job. Hope you all lose your jobs to the new media that you can't stand because they understand the rights given to the press in this country like no other are for the people to be accuratly informed by the media not lied to or keep information from us. You discust me and millions of others and when you understand all this thank God it will be to late to make up for all your bull ***!

BHO is going to reign in change! "It is about time that the rich elite are forced to give to the needy and poor, even if they worked hard and took risks to make their money." This is ridiculous and has been echoed by many BHO supporters, it is incomprehensible to believe that Americans are for a marxist. When did we loose our country, what happened to hard work, why does everyone want a handout. Get a job, make a wage and spend your money wisely. We need to hold our elected employees responsible, the same way we hold ourselves responsible. Taking money from one class and giving to another is not the answer. Yes I agree that our government just did that with the bailout, and it was wrong. WE cannot allow our leaders to continue these policies. BHO is going to turn us into the USSA! John McCain wants to reform the government! I think I'll take reform over communism!

This is in response to tweedle dee and tweedle dumb on here, gstoner73 and cathyif, first to gstoner73 you voted for George Bush, who at the last press conference I saw him give read directly from the teleprompter and still manage to flub his speech...oh and he didn' t even look good doing it...oh and isn't it funny i bet you never questioned the close to a billion dollars in campaign money that bush raised while running for president, but that's okay i understand stupidity reigns when one is endanger of not getting what one wants, get your facts straight before you go spouting off...so when Mccain removes the Repulican parties hand from up his butt, like the puppet he is destined to become, then and only then will I even consider him on the same level as Obama, or even say Ross Perot for that matter....
Now for tweedle dumb cathyif...them der hills must get awful cold and lonely at night...you have to be about the dumbest person alive and why if someone disagrees with this countries policies on certain issues are we touted as flag hating commies...my advice to you is get some new rhetoric, I would respect you more had you just come out and said I don't like Obama because he's black, what kind of stupid hillbilly states that someone is the anti-christ, well if that is the case you need only look to your current president for the anti-christ, I do believe I saw the three sixes on his forehead one time...i feel sorry for your children...they will never know what intelligent, honest dialogue sounds like...if Mccain is elected I think I'm going to run for the hills and come live with you and your trusty old 6 shooter.....

Well I just hope PA is smart enough to vote MCCain! I have faith in my state being more intelligent than our Governor (who I didnt' vote for either).
