Interactive Graphic: Swing States on the 2008 Electoral Map

Why are all of the Democrats so SEXIST!!! I have never seen such terrible bias actions in my life. It makes me embarrassed to be an American.

the president has no power to make sweeping changes. Neither major party candidate can or will have any real impact on our government and the direction of this country. By the time either candidate's agenda passes the congress, the bills will be so watered down that they won't even represent the ideas presented in the campaign. So rest easy "Republicans" and "Democrats" either way.. we're going to see our economy and our status in the world change. Its not for the better or the worse... its just they way history works.

I completely agree with the following:

Comment: Anyone who is saying either candidate is going to "destroy America" has been influenced by the politics of fear.

Remember folks, we are all Americans and we all want what's best for our Country - we just have different opinions of what is "best". We really need to stop the divisiveness and disrespect. Were abolitionist "anti-American" because they wanted to end slavery? Were Suffragettes "anti-American" because they protested for women to have the right to vote? Part of what is great about our Country is that we keep evolving and keep making it better. Regardless of who wins, lets do more to UNITE as PROUD AMERICANS!

Its truly amazing that one individual that say NOTHING can attract so many voters: Grab hold of your checkbooks and 401K because they are going to be nationalized. WHY would one individual spend $700 million for a job that pays $400000 a year. He wants to change the constitution to suit his wishes. All the programs that he has proposed cost money and if anyone can do the math it doesnt add up no taxes for people who make over $250000 my ass I have worked 3 jobs to get where I am today at age 59 and I will be dammed if I am going to let someone spread my wealth let the people that sit on there ass with their hand out get up and go to work I have been there and I work my way through college my parent didnt have much you just have to have the will to to work not to sit and take and these are the people that are attracted to Obama give me a break. He tells everyone that he will give them a chicken but you wont have a pot to cook it in. History repeats itself and we are headed down a path of destruction not rebuilding do you really think the crooks in Washington (Democrat and Republican) think about the little guy the trickle down effect yeah right the only thing that trickles down is brown and yellow in color and for one I am tired of working hard to have someone else benefit from it. Lock down the borders and have all the illegals become legal if they think this is the land of plenty but this is where Obama is getting his support from. Rome was a great nation and look what happened to them

Don't fear the unknown. W has had two terms of ignorance and failure. I haven't the sky in the last eight years with stupidity at the wheel. Maybe it's time to let someone else drive, then the GOP can be on side of "I told you so".

I have one quetion....If McCain went to KKK's rally's for the past 20 years would have even be considered for this election??? If not, can someone tell me why in the hell is Obama who attended an ANTI-WHITE church for the past 20 years being considered??? And how is he going to unite this country when he hates white people? Anyone that votes for obama hasn't done their homework or is too stupid to do a little bit of research. Please American's, don't be brainwashed. You know who else gave great speeches, Hitler! Vote McCain 2008 all the way!!! An American that has fought for the US his entire life.

to Cathyif,
if you hate the results that MIGHT happen, you have two choice DEAL with it like the rest of us or LEAVE. I suggest leave, because if want your conservative values go to Canada with Stephen Harper. OOPS, they have socialism, maybe Mexico instead. Also spell check your comments.

Good Lord! The "Anti-Christ", "change the constitution/" It never ceases to amaze me how many postings I read wherein the writer makes all kinds of accusations, but always fails to quote any substantive political records, individual speach comments, etc. to back them up! I am grateful that we in America have the right to voice our opinions without fear of reprisal, but put your facts where your mouth is!

Cathyif, first of all, if you're going to bash our next president, I'd spell everything right, so that folks will at least think that you're educated. Secondly, you can't even spell your VP candidates name correctly... Which leads me to believe that you're seriously uneducated, and Obama would definitely be the president for you... Well, if not for you, then for your children. At least they'd have a better shot at a good education. Think about it, do you really want your children to grow up like you? Uneducated?

If any of you have EVER heard Obama's speeches he is NOT about hand outs AT ALL!!! He talks about people and families who work hard and raise families and still can't afford needs NOT wants!!! He does not want to give people things they don't Oh yeah and by the way GO OBAMA... but seriously why all the crap talk people? 24 hours till the election will be over and we will have better president for it!! Get over it quit whining and move on!!!

I personally do not support the death penalty or partial birth abortions; however, I see the financial standpoint on the death penalty. A baby has done no wrong. He/she is completely innocent, did not ask to be here, did nothing to deserve to die, and deserves a chance at life. Someone facing the death penalty has done much harm to another human being - in most cases, brutally murdered someone. It costs US money to keep them locked up in jail waiting for them to pass away naturally. Not to mention, the prison system is already overcrowded. If you want to pay the extra tax dollars every year to abolish the death penalty and keep these cold hearted murderers alive until they pass away naturally - feel free to offer up your own money, but as far as I'm concerned, I'd rather pay more of my own money to raise a child who would have been aborted than to pay for someone to eat 3 square meals a day, watch tv, work out, etc. after murdering someone.

Anyone who is saying either candidate is going to "destroy America" has been influenced by the politics of fear. Despite what your local advertisers (tv, radio, etc.) say, both parties think they have Americas best interest at heart and are not "socialists" Too many Americans have lost this fact and have sheepishly accepted what they've been feed. If this is you, please do us all a favor and stay home today. If you don't have the mental capacity to go beyond politico-talk, you are not being patriotic . . . you are a pawn.

???? So you think killing babies, who have barely gotton one breath in this life is on the same level as executing a convicted felon?? That, my friend, is WAY wrong...whether you are Christian or not. You may be a rich genius, but you are one immoral piece of sh*t. Have fun voting.

I sm not an "impressionable youth or uneducated." I proudly cast my vote for Obama. He is more of an appropriate leader than McCain and Palin who will continue to push trickle down economics which does little to help the middle class. In regards to the previous comment on abortion- PLEASE, I am SO sick of the conservative christians who will blindly put their faith in 2 candidates who proclaim to be christians, yet BOTH support the death penalty. You cant have it both ways people. They are christians when it is conveinant to be one, when it will garner more voted and press. The people who vote for Palin and think she is appropriatley capable of having a hand in running this country need to check themselves!

Snowstorm: You can not even write a sentence correctly, nor can you get your point accross. If I was Obama and I saw the ignorance his supporters spew, I would be ashamed. I'm a 24 year old female who thinks Obama is full of it. I agree with lisa in that you "either have to be impressionable youth or poor to vote for Obama". To add to that, I think the black community has been completely blinded by the fact that Obama is MIXED (not black thank you black community!) instead of listening to the issues. They think Obama is some kind of "god" here to save them. He's not! All of you barbershop owners, get ready to become even more poor. Expect gas prices to go back up and expect food prices to continue to rise as well. Be prepared to be more poor than you have EVER been in your life. Educate yourself - quit making your decision based on race, based on popularity, based on what others tell you. FIND OUT what Obama truly stands for - then your vote would be legitimate.

And don't complain when our country goes even further downhill if Obama wins. Bush spent four years cleaning up Clinton's mess, then the Dems took over Washington and messed it up more. Thank you Dems. Thank you for supporting a lack of education in this country.
