Picking Joe Biden is Proof

Obama lacks experience, wisdom, judgment, ethics, and morals. Choosing Joe Biden only fills in the foreign policy experience he lacks. But the guy does not know when life begins...it's above his paygrade...sounds so out of touch. He is not middle class. Harvard is a very expensive school...paid for by his rich white grandparetns. And Obama has NO economic or business experience. He's never run or owned a business. His only solution to any problem is higher taxes - stealing money from taxpayers and redistributing it in exchange for votes to greedy people seeking government handouts. Eastern Europe, even Russia have some of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world - leading their economic revolution, while we stagnate under regulation and taxes that are crippling our economy. Politicians like Obama don't know change -- only more of the same -- MORE BIG GOVERNMENT -- MORE TAXES -- MORE LAWS. This myopic view of America will lead to business fleeing for friendlier environments. And Obama wonders why jobs are leaving the U.S.

Election 2008

Obama your momma no way-----You go John McLain---He's our man

Obama website

For all of you that are supporting Obama b/c he is for change, go to his website and click on the issues page....See what the first "issue" is that comes up....you got it! Civil Rights, and a few down from that, Disablities....this guy is a joke. I'm sure those are the most pressing issues in this country right now, hunh? McCain needs some help in a few areas, but for the most part his views and policies have my vote, Obama one the other hand has no political experience and is affiliated with a racist church and pastor. Get real, stop believing everything you hear on the news or on these stupid polls. And for all of you who are clowning on Jimmie Johnson for "supposedly" backing McCain, read his comments again and then research all that he has done to help many charities, with I might add, the help of "HUGE" corporations. All of you liberals who have spent the better part of your life getting a law degree will get most of your fees paid by clients who ARE corporate America.

I support the troops!

That is why I want to bring them home. I work at Bristol Motor Speedway and am a proud Democrat. Believe me, there are a lot of us that are involved in racing that are dems.

If you want more of Bush's fiasco on everything from the war, Katrina,economy,the environment,then go ahead and vote for McSame.

With all of the comments on here dissing Obama, it is no wonder that this sport is referred to as redneck.

I'm not a Jimmie Fan Anymore!

Wow, Jimmie! I guess it has to do with how you were brought up and your crowd. I think I'm going to look for another driver to bet on. How can you talk so highly of McCain? McCain wants another war, he's a mad man, a radical. Democrat=Peace & and is for the working class. Republican=Corporations.

I'm a NASCAR Democrat and proud of it!

I'm a NASCAR junkie AND a Democrat. If the nominee weren't Obama, I'd be voting for whoever the Democratic nominee was. Just wanted to point out that not all NASCAR fans are Republicans.

WHO CARES

What these red necks think. Its their fault the country is in the horrible shape its in now. Falling for the Bush/rove strategy of "hey I bet ole george drinks beer, hunts and watches nascar... just like me!! I'd better vote for him." Unfortunately half of them work mcdonalds/home depot/grocery store and Bushco could care less about their economic situation. And hasnt done one single thing to help them. But these idiots continue to vote their religion/morals/racist attitudes over their wallet. Fool me once... you cant get fooled again . Well they were fooled twice in 2000 and 2004. Barack was right on with his bitter comments. Its amazing how you can sell these idiots on a perception. Sheep to the slaughter. BTW When did NASCAR become a "sport" :(

It is sad that we feel the best way to choose our next President is by weighing the negative. I have respect for the accomplishments of both John McCain and Barrack Obama. I am an Alabama raised middle class white man with a Baptist upbringing. I am a NASCAR fan. I am ex military. I am leaning toward Obama.

Nobama

Rickster of FL Obama is smoking McBush LOL. You must be referring to the bias newsweek poll. He is ahead anywhere from 2-5 points over McCain. Dukakis led by 18 points and Kerry led Bush in July. How did that turn out for you Rickster. Nobama will not win Florida. You dont find many McCain supporters because they are afraid to labeled as racist if they show their support for Nobama. I live in Kentucky and I dont see much McCain support. But he leads Obama by double digits! When people get behind the curtain we will see who they really support. Where did you come up with McBush LOL...Damn you are funny. Is that the only thing you guys can say bad about McCain.
