Bradley Effect

If McCain wins Penn, it will prove beyond doubt that Penn state is a racist state. I, however, have no doubt, that Penn state will prove McCain's assumption wrong, that we are racists.

Blame Game

Since when does someone say you will get ahead because you are black? You can't be serious.

OK

Take comfort in whatever advantage you can find for McCain....

He will not win.... he can keep spending his money tin PA, he will not win!! It is time for something new... John McCain and Falin (lol) are not agents of change....

Face it ...according to Repubs; the media hates yall and love the liberals, Palin was a great choice for VP and everyone else that sees her as laughable is wrong, and the McCain campaign was ran like it was a race for high school president!!!! Yeah .... they will not win and i am sooo glad!!!!

peace and unity under OBAMA

hello

People should not vote for Obama because he is black. If Obama wins it is because he is black. Not because of what he wants to do for the people. Too many people are not even researching his history and beliefs.

HOW ABOUT THAT RUTH CALABRIA FROM TEXAS?

Say, what is that funny smell? Loco Weed? Palin a hate monger? You know, I'll bet Ruth would like Sarah a lot more if she had aborted her handicapped baby - That would have proved to folks like Ruth that Sarah had more sense, was tolerant, inclusive and real feminist.

Go get 'em Ruth - McCain needs the votes...

McCain Will Do Anything To Steal The Election

With ten days to go until the election, its possible theft via the White House invading Syria just in time to jigger voter focus towards the national security issue that favors McCain should not be taken lightly. For the conservatives’ success with this October surprise or other skullduggery to steal the election would leave Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from having her finger on the button that launches our nuclear missiles. This is to put the media on notice that not repudiating the likes of this smiling hatemonger will not be tolerated, even if I have to send this message out to every last person in America myself. She has been just what her boss, John McCain, needed, her practiced-in-the-mirror smile the perfect accessory for this inanely dumb broad who would distract us from all the important issues of the election and from the conservatives' efforts to steal the election by race baiting and any other means they feel necessary. They will stop at nothing.

Bradley Effect

What a shame, Obama will lose because his Socialism agenda is spreading. His race has nothing to do with it. Unless you count in that 95% of blacks are voting for him. So he woll lose, but not because of the Bradley effect, and comments like that just fan the fire.

Stating the Obvious

McCain is contesting Pennsylvania because he has a good chance of winning it.Just ask Gov.Rendell

He is Pa because its up for grabs.Anyone with access to internal polling knows that the cooked results of the media sponsored surveys are nonsense.
