Interactive Graphic: Swing States on the 2008 Electoral Map

I'm voting for the party- It's time for a new party to be in the office... We may vote for one person to say he's president...but it's the party as a whole...we need the change! You are going to tell me that Bush made all the terribe decisions over the last 8 years by himself, or that McCain would have picked Palin for his side kick if it were really up to him? OPEN YOUR EYES! Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, think about it! Besides which Palin needs to concentrate on her family not her so called career! by the way, I am a white women in her mid thirties married with children, I stay at home with my children, trying to budget our one income family. And we bought a house and can afford the payment, but because of the way things are in the 'bush' world, I can not afford to go back to work! My husband and I are college educated, responsible americans who want a new party in the office! Oh, and I would love to see McCain buy his health insurance with his 'health care tax cut' give me a break...have you ever tried to buy health care for your family when your husband is out of work? Shove it McCain!

Oh and I've come to realize that the bulk of the American people are ignorant. How can some of us even consider voting for McCain.....its just sad. Can you imagine what would happen to this country if McCain were to succumb to an illness (Uh yeah he's 72) and Palin becomes President???? She would be a figure head at best. She would be told what to do and when to do it. Sound familiar??.....Ahem...George W. Bush.

I happen to be an atheist, but from my thological studies, it seems to me, that Jesus would be shocked at what you "Christians" are saying here. I wonder, do you all actually know how to READ your bibles ?
Good luck though. Really.

To never an easy life's comment about abortion: Not all life is sacred. There are times in history that we can all recollect an evil person and would in the end most agree that they should be killed - Hitler, Bin Laden, etc.

However, my question to you is what about the women's life? There are times when a woman having a baby can possibly kill her. Do you choose the women or the baby? There are too many greys and not the black and white stances you are oversimplifying.

I have children and would the majority of the time choose life. However, I'm Pro-Choice, not Pro-Abortion as many pro-Life people ignorantly call it. We live in America where freedom is one of the most sacred consitutions. You can choose whatever your religious beliefs dictate.

No matter what, the ability to choose needs to exist.

You took your revelation from a pyramid email that is completely baseless and irrational. Remember when the world was supposed to end in the year 2000? There is always a revelation the Republicans will use for a historic election. Calling a civil servant the "anti-Christ" for political purposes is not just insulting to everything this country stands for, it is blasphemy to Christians both Republican and Democrat. Obama is a Christian, and you are chastising him as the devil. Shame on you.

Look at the crowd at any major sporting event. Most people stand quietly with their hands at their sides. I am a white middle aged man and I was taught in elementary school to put my hand over my heart when reciting the pledge of allegance, not the national anthem. Some of you republican, radical religious nutjobs are as bad as any middle eastern muslim nutjobs. Ever hear of the seperation of church and state? In fact, George Washington abhored organized religion and even quit attending church while President because of the extreme religious views of the church of the times. And Thomas Jefferson equally distrusted religious leaders. Belief in God does not mean you have to belong to an organized religion. I think all churches should be required to pay income taxes just like all other businesses. They take money from the poor and weak minded to enrich themselves, like Benny Hinn, the texas fat pastors, the Mormon church, etc.

People keep bringing up Obama's race. So what! Does the color of ones skin make a difference? It should not. BAck in the 50s and 60s it did, but havent we evolved as human beings to think with our minds instaed of bigortry and hate, just because of ones skin color. Come on America! Lets move ahead.

I've heard a lot of negative comments on socialism lately. Every time someone puts down a socialist institution they are saying our police officers and firefighters are not doing their jobs. I'm afraid to tell you that these are socialist ideas. Before they became socialist, the only way you got fire or police protection was if you could afford it. The rich realized that if the poor weren't protected, the rich were in danger. I think it's about time we realized that financial protection is just as important as physical protection.

Well if McCain is soooooo great....why did he not get into any details of his plans?? All I heard was that Obamas plans wont work. McCain is washed up and his choice of running mate was poor to say the least. That woman has her head so far up her somewhere....Obama has laid out his plans and they may not be perfect but he is at least willing to try something new. McCain seems to lean in favor of the past 8 years

It truley is sad when a pollitical agenda is to call your opponent a terrorist just to try to win an election and even worse is people fall for it. That really shows just how unintelligent people are. I have never seen an election like this and it just makes me sick. I am a registered Republican and always have been,but in this election I am proud to say I voted for Obama. Obama will win tonight and thank God for that because we are in such a mess. I know none of this can be fixed over night,but with Obama I could see in the future possitive progress being made to help mend our broken economy.

I wonder how many of the comments on here are from people from the southern states. As for Obama being a terrorist, what a load to S%$^. I am White British and would vote for obama in a second if I could.

Bravo Americantothebone! You stated it perfectly. What has happened to our country that we would vote for a President that has never served in our armed forces and only has 2 years of experience! Christians need to wake up and start fighting for what we know is right!
Military wife and proud supporter of John McCain!

How unfortunate that your on the obama bandwagon....biden is a moran at best/two facer. first he says that Mccain is best man not Obama for the job after he had dropped out of the running, since then no one has ever mentioned that again ...strange. And Obama seems to feel the need to do a way with the use of coal for energy right now at the expense of the consumer at double the cost!! Dont know about you, but I'm not looking forward to this at all!!

please read revelations 13 before voting> If you enjoy your freedom and Christianity. I may help america stary free. If not God Help Us all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
