Drawing Even

The Democratic Party???s popularity with Hispanic voters in December, however, may have been due heavily to Sen. Hillary Clinton???s appeal as a primary candidate. Given the choice between McCain and Obama, some feel that McCain???s long record on immigration may prove more beneficial to Hispanics, according to the CBS News analysis.

McCain has made immigration reform a key part of his political career, and he pushed hard for a failed immigration proposal last year that was largely unpopular with conservative Republicans because it advocated a path to citizenship for working immigrants.

McCain has also begun running ads targeted at Cuban-Americans in Florida and has spoken out on Latino issues for many years.

Alma Morales Riojas, the president of the Latina women???s organization MANA, said McCain???s work may appeal more to Hispanic voters.

???They???ve seen McCain coming from Arizona, work with the Latino community,??? she said, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Company. ???I don???t know that we???ve seen Senator Obama work with the Hispanic community, and frankly, I don???t think we???ve seen him speak on immigration reform.???

Hispanics support John McCain.

The reports stating that McCain and Obama are deadlocked, are totally a Republican pay-off view! Check the Vegas odds, and you'll see that they still have Obama a heavy favorite! What's that tell you? Sarah Palin has nothing whatsoever to bring to the table, except that she's a woman, and that's the only thing that John McCain cared about! She's a totally unqualified "hockey mom" that can't even manage her own family, let alone be put in a position to manage our country! Let's get real here. Obama/Biden is the only "sane" choice! MC

Sarah - you GO Girl! The Great Swing State of Nevada Loves you!

The voters of America -- not all of them -- usually are easy targets of crooks, and they are so gullible that emotions, not logic or wisedom or facts about the candidates -- drive their voting patterns. They are mroe receptive to emotional-laden rhetoric bullshit. It is easy to trickle the minds of the public, for voters have been blinded by Palin's youthfulness, beauty, and conservative credentials -- no not conservative but sinful credentials of lying and deception -- that they simply forgot what the democratic purpose of the election is all about.
That explains why Palin is now being voted favorably no matter who she is -- her beauty, her youthfulness, her eccentric and contradictory Christian views intrigued voters that her leis and deceipt were obscured by voter excitement. barack Obama has been in national politics sicne the 2004 Democratic Convention.

We will see an Obama/Beiden victory....In doing the door to door and phone canvassing, we have never heard any of our respondents say they were supporters of McCain...not one! They either supported Sen. Obama , were leaning that way, were undecided and wanted more info on Sen. Obama....This is in Rhinelander and Merrill Wisconsin, historicall Republican voters.....I think when the debates are aired you will see the polls swing back to the Democrats...Who in their right mind would vote for candidates that promise more the abominable Bush policies? Those that do vote Republican, especially white women and undecideds, will not be smart enough to question the McCain accusations and outright lies about Sen. Obama. How can they vote for anyone who promises to clean up Washington and yet has so many lobbyiest and former Bush campaign people on his staff already?
If you examine the income tax break down, you will see that the Democrats mean what they say.: more taxes on those with incomes above $2.87 million to $603, 403 and lower taxes on every one else....No even close for the Republicans: tax decreases of 4.4 , largely for those making over $2.87 million..... down to 0.7 to 0.2 for those making from $66, 354 up to $18,981, roughly 60% of the tax payers.....Wake up America...WE INDEED NEED A CHANGE! gjgumness, Wisconsin

We are the most gullible people on earth. We worship heros and easily get carried away by new found charm and egoism.We belived Bush & Chaney and their cronies when they said Saddam carried WMD. We never questioned thier gimmicks and we will never question the gimmicks of McCain & Palin. We simply and blindly belive the smear TV ads we see without questioning the authenticity of its origin. One can self pity and face the consequences. Let the Republicans enjoy another 4 years. Wake up people. Get out there and vote your rights.

Reality Bites..Huh

Karl Rove has said the same thing....The Electoral Map, favors Obama [248] all he Needs is [270] and he wins, something you Mccain Addicts and John Mccain himself have Over Looked !!

CNN) -- Sen. John McCain has inched ahead of Sen. Barack Obama in national polls, but the Democratic candidate holds a steady lead in the most recent Electoral College estimates.

In national surveys, McCain leads by 2 points, 47 percent to 45 percent, according to CNN's poll of polls released Monday night.

In the Electoral College standings, the most recent survey shows 243 electoral votes either safely in Obama's column or leaning his way. At this point, McCain can claim only 189.

Many of the state polls used to determine the Electoral College standings, however, were conducted before the conventions.

Monday marked the first time McCain passed Obama in CNN's poll of polls. Watch how the race has tightened »

On Saturday, Obama was up by 3 in the poll of polls. That lead shrank to just 1 point Sunday before disappearing Monday.

In the most recent survey, 8 percent of respondents said they were still unsure about who they were going to vote for.

The poll of polls is an average of five surveys: CNN (September 5-7), ABC/Washington Post (September 5-7), CBS (September 5-7), Gallup (September 5-7) and Diageo/Hotline (September 5-7). The poll of polls does not have a sampling error.

The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Monday shows McCain and Obama tied at 48 percent.

The poll, which was conducted Friday through Sunday, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. It was based on 1,022 telephone interviews.

Republicans are hoping that if McCain can close the popular vote gap, he can also make gains in the electoral gap. The Electoral College will ultimately decide who takes over the White House.

Although polls across the country are open on one day, the election is not a national poll but a series of 51 state-level elections that decide the members of the Electoral College.

Technically, voters aren't choosing a candidate but a slate of electors who have pledged to vote for that candidate when the Electoral College meets.

With 538 electors up for grabs, the candidate with more than half -- 270 -- wins the presidency. The number of electors from each state equals the number of senators and representatives the state sends to Congress

Dear Newsweek:
Please read all these hateful and racist comments by the shameful Republicans. This is a terrible thing that the Republicans have become. This is not what America is about. Put their names and comments in your magazine.

Once Barak Obama is President, then the Republicans will have to live in the UNITED States of America. They will have to deal with a more level playing field. One percent of Americans have more wealth than 150,000,000 Americans combined. Trillions of dollars wasted in Iraq, and plenty of innocent DEATHS on both sides, not to mention the disfigurement, suffering, and hell on earth suffered by thousands more.

Whatever happens, people like Bush and the rest of the Republican selfish, will still be above it all. They just don't get it!
To those who don't want a black man as President, get the hell out of our country! Black people are as American as apple pie or the American flag! They are loved and respected by tens and millions of their fellow Americans, all of whom will be voting in November. Some of these people spewing hate in these comments are about to learn a lesson: America is about to claim it's greatness once again. Obama/Biden all the way.

What is it going to take for the Obama followers to snap out of their trance with this guy. Can I just line them all up and spray them with water? Please tell me one good reason to vote for this guy who has so many faults!

Iron Horse .... Pull that white sheet over your ignorant head and smother yourself.

Obama never attacked Palin (Pain) with-out the L in her name, she was and is the one who started the attacks on him. Any person that can't see beyond colour is pitiful ....

A footnote here, Hey Iron Horse, did you ever trace your ancestery, and I mean all the way back ? Bet black blood runs through your veiws just as white runs through Obama's. If your smart enough think about it.

Barack and Biden are righteous, McCain and Pain are racist liars.
