In my opinion I want Barack Obama to win because i personally think John McCain, you can't make promises with him. He says, I'll lower something but like how much? I just want to know who's winning and hoping that it is Barack Obama.

Well for the person who thinks that Gore was ahead in October 59-41 - that just isn't true. By this time in 2000 Bush was ahead 49-43. Remember that poll data rarely adds neatly up to 100% because of the number of undecideds, etc.

Also Kerry was not leading Bush in 2004 either.

To the person who thinks that Obama is best friends with a terrorist: The "terrorist" was an "extreme activist" in the 60s who protested the Vietnam War and stood up for civil rights. Whatever he may have done, it didn't keep him from working in education once he grew out of his rebellious youth. During the time that he was "hating America" Obama was an 8 year old child. It doesn't really make any sense to judge someone for something an acquaintance of theirs did 40 years ago.



Anyway, you have to suppose that when even the massively biased FOX News reports that Obama is leading in the polls, he must be leading in the polls.



But just leading in the polls is not going to win the election. You have to get the voters to the polls.

well, Obama is winning if you look at the polls. It should be noted that the polls this year have many problems. A lot of lower income and younger voters just have cell phones which make it hard for pollers to find them. Another problem is the Brady effect which suggests that white voters will change their minds and switch to McCain or say they are voting Obama when they are really voting McCain. This can be as high as 6% making it a toss up. I still think Obama will win, but by about 3% and about 30 votes in the electoral college. Things can change with one more debate and 3 weeks left until election day.

He doesn't say how much because that is a mistake. How many politicians say they will do 'this much' and never come close. McCain isn't speaking just to win, he is speaking in an honest manner.

Barack is ahead because he is the media's love child. The media talks about how great he is and ignores anything bad he says (ie. "Bill Clinton is white trash") whereas with McCain, it is the exact opposite...only, they have to actually try to make McCain look bad. Barack plays the race card like its going out of style, is definitely hateful towards caucasions, makes insane promises and worst of all, he is a Marxist. Go back and see just how charismatic both Hitler and Stalin were. They promised and promised and promised and ended up as warmongers. Barack is already friends with the Pakistanis, who are trying to destroy Israel, and yet, he has the gall to call everyone else racists and warmongers.

John McCain is winning and I'm actually mad about that. John McCain is old he shouldn't be winning because all he wants is just war. Bidden' thinks that Sarah Palin should not be Vice President and Bidden wants Obama to be Vice President

according to the biased polls Obama according to me McCain and hopefully McCain does win because Obama is best friends with a terrorist. Obama has lied so much more than McCain just to tell you and McCain is gonna lower taxes and gas prices b/c he is gonna drill on the coast. Obama is gonna raise taxes he says on the small Businessses they will go out of business and make less jobs here then he will lower taxes on some businesses until they make a certain amount then he will raise them again and make them go out of busines no small businesses will be able to survive so please vote for McCain i don't like either but clearly McCain is the better choice.

Unfortunately, high-tax socialist Obama is "winning" but it's never over until it's over (despite Obama measuring the White House for drapes right now).



I respectfully submit that it would behoove you to read the articles at the below website.

If you believe the polls Obama is winning. But i would like to point out that back in October of 2000 Al Gore was ahead of George Bush 59-41 in the polls. Also in 2004 John Kerry was ahead of Bush in the polls up until election day. Thus the polls can be wrong.

Obama: Delegates, one hundred seventy greater beneficial than Clinton, and transforming into! typical vote seven hundred,000+, and could be greater beneficial after the ten greater primaries, of which he's a cinch to win 5, and in all probability six! Primaries gained 29-sixteen, and could be 35-20 while complete! he's the clean WINNER, and may be the nominee!!! it fairly is a actuality!!! Clinton spin, it fairly is lies from the LIAR, won't exchange the mathematics!!! it fairly is NO-WIN, LOSE-LOSE for her!!! it fairly is throughout!!!

Obama wins, but McCain gets inaugurated, just like in Bush's case. Election results are a FRAUD in US. And the fact there are only 2 parties and 2 candidates surely doesn't make US a democracy.

I want him to win cause he can maybe make a change to how people look at skin.

Barrack Obama is winning from about 7 to 8 points.

Sadly Barack Obama is winning. 1: Because he is black 2: Because he has lots of money 3: MTV and Oprah promote him like no tomorrow.... What's even sadder is because its 2 parties! Go 3 parties! Then you have more choices!!!

Well, last time Kerry was "winning" and 8 years ago Gore was "winning" so I guess Obama is......"winning"



How did it work out for the first two?

No. You can't make any promises with Barack Obama.

did you know he's not even eligible to become president? He's friends with terrorists. You figure it out. But so far, he's winning.
