I'm just amazed he is this close. That tells me that people (thinking, logical, rational ones) are resistant to Obama. All those undecideds, could very well break for McCain. You would assume if they didn't have serious reservations about Obama, they would already be in his camp.
My guess is that most of the undecideds wont even vote which certainly is not going to help McCain. They are undecided for a reason and if they were that resistant to Obama they'd be supporting McCain by now. Also you say the race in close in the battleground states. A democrat hasnt been ahead in Virginia since 1964. You realize that all of them are republican red states in which many of them Obama is ahead in. McCain should have a big lead in these states so whats the problem? It looks like this could be cake walk for Obama to me.

Coming together for the soros socialist party means to submit to socialism. I think I'll continue to work for a republic capitalist society, thanks anyway.

Even though I'd wait until tomorrow (hey, you never know...), I appreciate the handshake and the genuine class in your post.

There are big problems out there to tackle. I'll be glad when this election's past so we can get past the animosity, and work on solving them.

I can see you don't put much value on your opinion if you're only willing to put a $1 on it.

You know, you will find more anti-capitalist living in those bunkers don't you.

Just ask that other Harvard educated professor community activist Ted Kaczynski.

I've held my faith in God and tried to be supportive and faithful McCain would win...but I would now like to ask my fellow republican/conservatives/McCain supporters to join me that feel the same way and lets come together and look forward to another race in 2012.

Also I would like to congratulate the democrats for winning and offer a handshake. Gosh I can't stand saying this but I have to be sincere and honest.
with all of your Dem hacks.

You just lost a lot of respectability points....

So calling the current President of the United States Dumbya is respectful. Can you see why behavior like yours and so many others is also very disrespectful?
