There no question the 2008 presidential race is hinging on the economy. There is a question, however, about how much power the winner might have to turn the economy around.
While the Republican candidate's campaign is sending mixed signals about a new proposal to address the financial crisis his Democratic rival unveiled his plan Monday in Toledo.
John McCain was booed by his own supporters Friday when, in an abrupt switch from raising questions about Barack Obama's character, he described the Democrat as a "decent person."
Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks.
Anyone who would even consider voting for Mccain/Palin is giving no thought to the future of our country. We cannot let these phonies have control over us. You name it, integrity, religion, sacrificing family for ambition, continuation of Bush policies, total disregard for m …
Vote: Will disclosures about Sarah Palin hurt John McCain's bid for the White House?
On a day and night of political suspense, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden emerged as a leading contender to become Barack Obama's VP pick as two running mate rivals learned they were eliminated.

Older white voters are more open to voting Democratic this year than in the past, but the Democratic presidential candidate still needs to close the sale.
Katiec do you really believe this government can fix health care? Look what they did with GM. Within 15 days of taking over GM they went bankrupt. Are you willing to pay for less care? I doubt it. If congress and the messiah all have the same health care as we would get then I would listen. Did you know half of the staff of senators and interns are not offered any health care? As a small business owner I pay 100% of my employees health care. For 34 employees it cost about 348000 dollars BUT it allows me to retain good employees and gives me an advantage over my competitors. Yes I have the same coverage as everyone else Kindest regards Joe

wow, ia am amazed on most of the comments I have read. Any true American would care who Obamaa or anyone running for president ,who they asociated with past,present or ?I care about people like tyhat and for that reason I cant vote for Obamaa.I was A Hillary supporter,but now she makes me wonder,because how could she say such bad things about Obamaa and now be in his court. I dont vote for the party but for the person who I think best serves this country and as of now that is McCain,thats just the truth.But people opnly see what they think they know ,McCain is not Bush,but most people dont follow any of the campagne,so dont know whats going on and hey how about Accorn,What a damm shame ,wow Obamaa supports them to the tune of $800K , if he has so much money why doesnt he put some of it to use to help all the people who is says he will cut taxes ,that way my taxes dont have to pay more into welfare,where they dont pay taxes anyway. I am an average worker ,but have alwasy paid my own way and certanily dont think because you have money that it is owed to me,All of you who think that way she move to Russia.
I also feel that Obamaa has been just as nasty or neg as McCain but because he is Black, everyone yells race, well I knopw that he is half white so I dont think of him in color one way or the other. But do not trust him and think McCAin should not stop letting people out their know.To treat a woman has bad as Obamaa did Hillary and now the Media so nasty to Sarah Palin,you people just arent very good at being a journist. Shame,Shame.Could say more but no use because you find out that Obamaa will make the crisis worse .wait and see— elebowen
Wake up people have youn all forgotten Barack Obama has a WHITE, I repeat a WHITE MOTHER????????????? How PREDJUDICE can YOU PEOPLE,and I mean YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!! BE. No-one has spoke withn or have I seen anyone speaking with his MOTHER??????? But McCain comes up with some WHITE if she is WHITE??? woman to be his VP nomination???????? Who is she and where did she come from???????????? That's as ploy to get WHITE VOTES. Who doesn't see that???? Even Stevie Wonder can see that :)
This is my body and no one should tell me what to do with it. This is my social security and no one should put it any where for them to use. I worked hard to get where I am . Blacks have always been down graded by whites since I can remember. It is a shame that people are loosing their homes and the republicans think Bush has done good, he does not know how much bread cost in a store nor does he care about POOR people and what they make at their jobs. HE is for the rich, are any of us RICH like him and Chaney??????????????
The article stated:
'Less likely to vote for Obama'
More than a third of all white Democrats and independents — voters Obama can't win the White House without — agreed with at least one negative adjective about blacks, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for Obama than those who don't have such views.Couldn't this just as easily have read:
'Less likely to vote for McCain'
More than 99% of all black Democrats and independents -- voters McCain can't win the White House without -- agreed with at least one negative adjective about whites, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for McCain than those who don't have such views.
How many racist blacks are going to vote for Obama; 90%? The racist Jesse Jackson, and people like him, do more damage to Obama than the republicans. Reporters, stir up the issue of racism, because they want an attention getting story. Obama seems to be the smartest person running, and the most trustworthy. What would hurt his administration, is his wife. She seems to have an agenda; she appears to be one of those blacks that wants to equalize the races.
President Johnson tried to give, without earning; now we have a 4th generation of welfare; fatherless families and no ambition to work; his presidency was terrible. The Katrina debacle, was an example of laziness, that has been put on the poor by our politicians. Many people laid around until their benefits ran out. People need to fell good about themselves. They need to work and learn. Otherwise they get fat and lazy like our politicians; they always take the easy way out.
How many wars would there be, if our politicians had to take-up arms and lead the charge? Most of the problems of the world, are brought about by greed, with politicians leading the way. Obama has a good agenda, but his wife will make his life hell, if she does not get her way. This is the only problem I see in voting for Obama.
I think all you bigots need to get a life. Blacks need to try harder and all your
idiotic comments. I suppose whites don't commit rape, murder, robbery, sell
drugs and use drugs, belong to criminal organizations. Good and bad is in every single race of people on this planet. People with poor work ethics is in
every field and every race of people. Idiots take the actions of a few and put
everyone in the same category. We are all after the same thing take care of yourself and your family. We are all after the pursuit of happiness. I judge
people on a individual basis of the character they posses and how they treat
me or others. I cant say all Hispanics,asians,whites, are bad based on actions
of a few. Check yourself.— lj1467
If we vote on the color of skin, we are doomed
It is just sick if your vote is due to race. There are as many bad whites as black and any other color. I am white but no better than any black person I ever met. We are not what is on the outside we are what is with in.
This sounds like an attempt to justify a potential election loss. The reason he will lose this election is that most voting Americans don't want their hard earned dollars to go to people in an income redistribution scheme. When you give a majority of the people free money then you are building a power base of constituents who will continue to vote for you so they can keep receiving their free money. Fortunately the bulk of these people won't show the initiative to even go to the polls on election day.
Mr. Sniderman's findings are as Flawed as the idiotic belief that non of the so called "Economic Experts," know who? or why? is responsible for this disastrous
financial melt-down...The who goes back six (6) to seven (7) years ago, the handsome Mr. Alan Greenspan. The why?, His idiotic refusal to increase interest rates. Not everyone in the world will ever be able to afford a house, today or a billion years from today.
The poll is flawed and idiotic because the U.S. population is over 330+ millions and like the economy the numbers do not add up to an Obama win today or (20) twenty years from today, because, the "Bigots," Whites, Hispanics, Asians, Jews, Arabs, Turks,Midgets and Martians will all be coming out to vote against a "colored person, negro, black, or African American (Oops, real Africans from Africa do not personally like black Americans referred to as African-Americans, they find them too boisterous and loud----visit Africa and talk to the real natives without a camera, microphone or A la Oprah money!). Survey/poll is now totally and truthfully complete. Semper Fi and God Bless America!!!
This is almost laughable. You have not one fact that Mr. Rove ever did anything illegal while or before or after his commission as adviser to the President. Liberals and the media have been putting out stories on him for 8 years. If you have any documents that show anything illegal went on, Ill be the first to apologize to you. Secondly, ask any of the liberal congress or senate if they would appoint a conservative judge to the Supreme Court. the answer is never, never, never. Is that discrimination?
Thank you Ms. Katie C.for I am a So-called Black female senior citizen and a retired CNA,I have been in health care for over 40years,there is no color in suffering,sickness,and pain. America,is suffering,suffering from corrupt,deceitful,lying rulership.I am a registered Republican,I am supporting,voting for righteousness,not skin color.You know something is wrong with this administration and so do I.
