What to Watch For

Black or white who cares? If we are all that ignorant to choose someone on there skin tone then maybe the British should have won the war. If we cannot all be satisfied to be called Americans and not anglo, african, mexican, asian, native americans then whatever god you choose to belive help us all. I AM NOT WHITE IAM NOT BLACK I AM NOT YELLOW I AM NOT BROWN I AM AN AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT! Can your canidate say the same. can we foucus on issues and not character attacks.

I have a biracial grandson and I am not voting for or against anyone due to race. I am voting for who I think is the best man for the job. Last time that I checked we have the right to do so unless that has changed and I am unaware of it. When my senior starts texting me from high school telling me that she is scared because the students are going "CRAZY"! Most of these kids cannot vote and one child was beat up when she said that her parents were voting for McCain/Palin. What scares the h ell out of me is the fact of kids acting this way over who you are to vote for and above that what have parents told their children about this election. I think we all have the right to decide who we vote for and that is a right that I have lost family members over. I told my child to not express an opinion because that is your right to vote for who you want and no matter what you say publically when the curtain is pulled only you know what you did........................

I'm sick to death of the race card thing!! My husband has a McCain sticker on his truck and all of a sudden he is accused of being a racist even though the man accusing him doesn't have a clue who Obama picked as a VP running mate. The guy was voting only on color. Tell me that isn't racist. My mother works with a black lady who constantly complains that "we used to have to sing for our supper". Guess what she never sang for her supper and our family never owned slaves. Get over it and quit using excuses. We had a group called Blacks for Obama but if we'd had one called Whites for McCain there would be such an outcry of racist accusations as you've never heard before. We are sick of walking on eggshells. It is getting OLD!! You think Obama is going to cure all your ills. Let's see 6 to 8 months down the road what he's done for us all. Some of you just might be suprised but a lot of us won't.

I am an African I do support Obama because is not only creating African /American relationship not also Islam and Africa.I do believe he is not Muslim and he does not believe Koran but he is good hearted man.

The nationwide race should not be announced until ALL the polls close.

This is a great discussion. It's too bad that so many of you base your decision on what you believe is wrong with the "other" candidate. I based my vote on the merits of my candidate. I refused to allow the negative campaigning and outrageous untruths about the candidates persuade my vote. There is incredible wisdom in both of these candidates and both of them love this country. Don't get caught up in "us against them". Love your candidate, vote for your candidate, and love your neighbor no matter which candidate she or he votes for. Both candidates want what is best for this country and whoever wins will take us to a new place and surely does not aim to make us suffer more. God Bless our candidates, God Bless our election process, and God Bless all the people of the World.

Most of what is being posted here is jibberish and fear mongering racism. Goodbye, gone to vote.

Measuring by some of anti Obama comments, it shows that education is still not at the level required for the average American to make an intelligent rhetoric. "Appearance over substance" still is the core life style of the average American citizen. I can only hope that Americans are willing to really look beyond their own borders, and not get their information about "Socialist" Europe from the myopic "celebrity style"/nationalistic American news media like CNN or FoxNoise. Take it from me, a European Social Democrat, Obama is not even close to being a socialist.

The biggest problem is not who has been president for the past 8 years but who got voted into Congress in 2006.Those of you who think otherwise need to do your research.If you think its bad now you havent seen anything yet.Those of you wanting to paint the White House black need to look at the issues and not the fact that a half black man is running for president.Those of you not voting for a man due to the fact he is half black need to wake up as well.Learn the facts,learn the issues and make your choice that way.

all you are using is if if if, IF YOUR GRANDMOTHER HAD BALLS, SHE'D BE YOUR GRANDFATHER., SO SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR PREDICTIONS. The old saying, better to keep your mouth shut, than be thought a fool, than open it up and prove it..

I have a biracial grandson and the reason for who I am or not voting is not due to race! I am voting for who I feel will do the best job for "US ALL"! Each and everyone of us has an opinion and are entitled to it. I have gotten text messages from my senior in high school about the way that the children in school are acting today. One child said that her parents were voting for McCain/Palin and was beat up for it. "Most" of these children are not even able to vote at this point in their lives. The attitudes that our youth have over this election is scary to me but the parents that have instilled this in them is even "SCARIER"!

If Obama wins.....the fanatical muslins will be let loose and for sure there will be another attack on American soil. I lost 2 family members on 9/11. I personally dont care if he is black or white....but... a muslim who follws Christian beliefs - excuse me? There is no such thing. Good luck America!!!!!

700 billion could have bought Ford a 500 million dollar production plant to build eco friendly cars and save us all money at the pump while reducing our need for fossil fuels. Don't bail out the banks, bail out the people and businesses that will put money into the banks. I stick by the Republican credo, "I can spend my money better than the govt. can".
