- sincerelysarah, on 10/06/2008, -8/+93McCain is getting nasty spreading lies and digging up distractions - I hope that the voters can see through all this and hold Obamas lead.
- jsdratm, on 10/06/2008, -5/+79I accidentally the whole Ohio
- Shiloah, on 10/06/2008, -6/+66HOORAY! McCain's "new" aggressive strategy is working already!
- gab00n, on 10/06/2008, -3/+53I'm still worried about these ***** voting machines, they seem to have a mind of their own.
- chickenloco, on 10/06/2008, -3/+49MCCAIN/PALIN 1984!!!
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -2/+41you mean like me?working class from Kentucky. or all those fine people down in Virginia?or the record number of regular people who have funded his campaign?its McCain who is currently hanging out with the lobbyists who helped him and George bush trash our economy(they make up his staff)its McCain who has to rely on his corporate Friends to fund his campaign.at least if Obama loses his house he'll know it.not have to be told about it or ask how many are left.john McCain is not out of touch as he has never been in touch with the average American unlike Obama McCain was raised rich.the only exposure McCain has ever had with the working class is from the people who have worked for him!
- Jo9100, on 10/06/2008, -5/+41McCain: I'm leading in New Ohio! Yay!
Advisor: Uhhh Mr McCain... there's actually no such state as New Ohio...
McCain: You're fired!
Ex-advisor: Plus, if that state actually existed, Obama would be leading in it...
McCain: Leave me alone, I have lies to make up. - blix01, on 10/06/2008, -5/+41This is good news, but it is from 3 days ago- before McCain's negative campaigning efforts really ramped up.
We cannot sit back and consider this election done. McCain/Palin will lie, cheat, and exploit their way through the next few weeks. We need to continue to a GOTV efforts for Senator Obama, and correct the lies when we have the opportunity. - psibladeZX, on 10/06/2008, -8/+43That's all right... once McCain/Palin steal the election by purging voters from voting lists, hacking the vote, and burning the evidence, we can all relax with another 4 years of republican ideology that will ruin this country... ah... the end is nigh
- kingofinternet, on 10/06/2008, -1/+35the fundamentals of mccain's campaign are strong!
- WasabiBomb, on 10/06/2008, -2/+35"Obambi"? Seriously? That's the best you can do?
No wonder you're losing. - shupy, on 10/06/2008, -1/+33I live in Ohio. New Ohio has thrown out the Republican leadership at the state level. We are about to throw out the Republican leadership at the federal level.
- linny57, on 10/06/2008, -2/+30The stealing of the election by way of these voting machines is what worries me. I was here in Florida thru the 2000 theft, and watched in horror when it happened again in Ohio in 2004. They know how to do this and I think they will try it again this year. Really sucks that the voters don't have a say in this, the machines decide the election.
- 3gibberish4q57, on 10/06/2008, -0/+20I'd be more inclined to write a long winded post deconstructing your claims if I wasn't so sure you're a troll.
And if you're not a troll, wow. - GoatRoper, on 10/06/2008, -1/+20^^ And me, providing for a herd of children and still finding a way to slip donations to the only candidate that cares about us in the middle class, Barack Obama. Go take your GOP some place that cares, which certainly is not the working class/middle class of this country.
- Jektal, on 10/06/2008, -1/+17The PA poll numbers are really dependent on the area surveyed. Our state is incredibly polarized between liberal urbanized areas and much larger very conservative rural regions.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+17http://www.electoral-vote.com
enough said - inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+16Wow, that kind of religious intolerance and bigotry really takes years to develop into something so vile that you think it's OK or appropriate.
I thank you for spewing stuff like that, because it illustrates the kind of people who support McCain, and the kind of people that will be represented by him. - TigerStar337, on 10/06/2008, -1/+15Electoral math at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/. Very Good Stuff! Nate Silver, the website author, is famous for his baseball statistics. McCain has a 13% chance of winning. Barack Obama has a 87% chance. His chance of a landslide victory is 30%.
Go Obama! - WasabiBomb, on 10/06/2008, -2/+16You're just jealous of his "ebony tower".
- inactive, on 10/07/2008, -0/+13i just hope Kucinich keeps his seat in the Old Ohio
- mediaspree, on 10/07/2008, -0/+12The answer isn't that funny, sadly. Just google it and be underwhelmed.
- avataros, on 10/06/2008, -1/+13W00tage. I've yet to see many polling numbers with Obama leading McCain beyond the MOE in OH, but if it's an indicative trend it puts 270 EVs beyond McCain's reach.
- yolanda1222, on 10/06/2008, -1/+13exactly. the news lately has been pretty great but no one should forget that if the GOP cant win legitimately, they will cheat their way into office.
just dont get your hopes up. i have no doubt they will do their damndest to steal this thing - zephyear, on 10/06/2008, -0/+12well
This Day in 2004

this day now
http://electoral-vote.com/
something tells me as long as we don't get cocky, we got this - RodBorn, on 10/06/2008, -2/+14Quick John, quick Sarah...go low, go lower, go disgustingly negative!
...oh wait, you have. - Someguy101, on 02/19/2009, -0/+11Hey VoteGOP, take a look at these numbers and tell me again who doesn't have a chance in hell.
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ - allothersnsused, on 10/06/2008, -1/+12In New Ohio, car drives you!
- deleo, on 10/06/2008, -1/+12Even as a nervous Obama supporter I can't help but to start to breathe a little easier these days. This race is really starting to open up, even more so in the state polls than the national polls. If the numbers are still like this in a week or two, I will start thinking that as long as Obama gets decent voter turnout, it's over. The Obama campaign is really well funded and organized. You have to think that will happen.
- seddyei, on 10/06/2008, -3/+14At this point a loss for Obama is impossible unless we look at the idea of, God forbid, a national tragedy - one that I would look at highly suspiciously should it happen.
- JakeKreber, on 10/06/2008, -2/+12Yes we can!
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -1/+11Yeah!
What, does he think he owns the voting machine companies.....oh!
Yeah, let's just all cheer for the Republicans and hope for 4 more years of lies, corruption, and war. - roseap, on 10/06/2008, -2/+12I heard Obama is also doing well in Michigan
*ducks* - noahgelman, on 10/06/2008, -0/+10I hope McCain supporters bury you too. That's offensive to the things America stands for regardless of your political position. We should act better then that and you should be embarrassed to be so far behind the standard that this country has for being a reasonably decent person.
- lofispy, on 10/07/2008, -0/+9Hmmm....as an Ohio resident I can say with total confidence there isn't a damn new thing about it. But, anyhow, to politics...in Ohio it's going to come down to the cities (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati) vs. the country bumpkins. And unfortunately, Cincinnati leans to the Republican side...but both of the other cities are very heavily Democratic and have about the same amount of people that live in the much larger but less populated rural areas. So, essentially, for Obama to win Ohio he's going to have to win the hearts and minds of the county folk, which I feel he is doing, and no doubt the economic situation is helping with that. But on the flip side, the second you leave the cities and get out to the country there are McCain/Palin signs everywhere, and reaching these peoples minds is a true challenge, these are people who still believe Obama is a Muslim, terrorist sympathizing, America-hating freak of nature, and breaking that kind of ignorance is a hard thing to do. It is with great sadness that I believe that McCain's attacks over the next month are going to do a very good job of keeping these kinds of people paralyzed with the same fear that 8 years of Rovian politics has instilled in them. All in all, I will be holding my breathe on election day, I fully expect that the Diebold e-voting machines we're stuck using are going to "help" McCain greatly, and that too few people will know that we can ask for paper ballots.
- cadmiumpaint, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9don't start celebrating yet. if everyone assumes a victory people will be lazy and blow off voting
- fugularity, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9Man, it sure is funny when someone tries to save you money, right?
- yellowfish04, on 10/07/2008, -0/+9You know what's cool? To me anyway..
Out of all the states that are "Strong Republican", North Dakota has more support for Obama than any of them (42%). That's crazy, at least to me, and I ***** love it. I drive around town (Grand Forks, ND), and I see Obama bumper stickers ALL the time. To date, I've only seen 3 McCain bumper stickers at most, and probably at least 100 Obama ones since this all has started. IN NORTH DAKOTA. I love how excited this man has made the electorate.
Obama '08. My vote will count for ***** nothing because of the electoral college, but I'll be there on Nov. 4th. - richardstaboner, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9"A 39 year-old male from Jackson, Mississippi (US) who joined Digg on October 5th, 2008"
- JakeKreber, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9Nixon was in Dallas the same day that Kennedy was shot.
- Zomgondo, on 10/06/2008, -2/+11And their minds all seem oddly Republican.
- inactive, on 10/06/2008, -0/+9Not in red states!
- futebollounge, on 10/07/2008, -0/+8enzo why are you so ***** mentally retarded? where is your brain? point to your brain please if you can.
- wastelander, on 10/06/2008, -0/+8yes, but what about New Michigan?
- deadbaby, on 10/07/2008, -0/+8Well, let's look at the facts.
There has been a Republican President for the last 8 years
There has been a Republican congress for 6 out of the last 8 years.
So... hmm... How did Obama (he's a Democrat, you know) manage to create this problem? Doesn't even make sense. Bush didn't veto a bill until what, a year ago? So anything passing congress had his signature on it and many Republican votes. No bill relating to mortgage policy has passed in the last 2 years in congress with enough votes to override a Presidential veto. So no matter how you want to spin it there are Republican finger prints all over this smoking gun. Bush in fact bragged about the "ownership society" and in 2004 even ran on home sales as part of his re-election campaign.
Now objectively you can trace back these mortgage policies to the Clinton administration almost a decade ago now. You have to remember though, a decade ago we had a great economy. Tons of new jobs. Booming stock market. It made a lot of sense to get people into homes. It was good for the economy at the time. What happened was, Bush continued Clinton's policies while the economy began to tank. The Republicans, who were in control, should have had the foresight to undo the Clinton policies as the economy changed. It's just common sense. You would have different policies depending on how the economy was doing. The thing is, Bush and the Republicans, and some Democrats, ignored the problem until it was too late.
So there is definitely blame for both parties however the Republicans had the power therefore they get the blame.
Thank you for your time. (and I dunno when we'll get to the history books, we have to undo 8 years of failed Bush policy first. That's going to take a bit of time. I'll have to get back to you on it, k?) - RoboRay, on 10/07/2008, -0/+7I'm pretty sure "Old" Orleans is still in France, where it's always been.
- adamdigg, on 10/06/2008, -0/+7VOTE BY MAIL. It's generally more convenient, and doesn't rely on diebold machines. I suggest that everyone do it.
- shupy, on 10/06/2008, -2/+9The problem is that the blue collar rural folks are hurting because of the Republican economic policy. They need medical care and jobs. And there is a strong racist streak.
They may not admit it, but I suspect Obama will do better there than anyone realizes. - sneezachoo, on 10/06/2008, -1/+8How do I Old Ohio?
