On your cmments for parents taking responsibility for there kids , It's well over due . The horror stories my wife tells who is a teacher would make your hair stand on end . At parent teacher meeting the good studens parents always show up but the ones with the problem kids , you never see . Its time the parents of these kids take some responsibility . I'm with fining them . Maybe then they would take some rsponsibility .

Some people are still racist…most of the red states voted for McCain and they are predominantly whites..now look at NY,OH,FL,CAL..they are the states that have people of all colors to include whites and they voted for Change with Obama…people need to understand it's not about them it's about the future of this Country and the people that reside here.

Mccain team blames Acorn for voter fraud, but this video proves that they actually are doing it.
Shame on you Mccain paying people to vote for you.

Democrats, like Sebelius, and their media hacks, like Gergen and Cafferty are sore losers, who use the race card every time Obama missteps, or falls behind in the polls. So far, the most prominent references to race in the primaries, as well as in the general election have been from the Obama campaign … usually in terms of the Obama campaign accusing anyone, and everyone of racism, who disagreed with Obama, or challenged his lack of credentials, or his lack of experience, as racism. Obama has also vocally predicted and anticipated racism, when nobody actually said or did anything racist. Obama also used the race card against Bill Clinton. And, now democrat, and Obama supporter Kathleen Sebelius is once again using racism as an excuse, in case Obama doesn't win in November. But, what about the other side of the coin? 90% of Blacks in America are voting for Obama simply because he is black. This is racism also, but it always gets swept under the carpet.

Being a Republican does not make one a racist. Personally I could care less what religion, or nationality one is I just want someone I think is the most qualified to be President. Right now I feel is it choosing between the lesser of the two evils. If Obama looses it won't be due to the race, it's due to his politics which many do not agree with. Parties should not matter it should be based on the best person for the job. I will vote for whom ever will do the job right. I just wish we could stick to the issues and take away all the drama. I just want my politicians to act respectable and give the world a reason to look at the United States and respect us.

wow really the republican party is obviously racist cause thats what your leaders in the democrat party wants you to believe and have been saying this whole election. where did you get your stats from to support this statement? "it is the Republican base that is most likely to vote against Obama because of race." Let me guess our southern republican hicks are backwards cause they dont want to live in pollution spewing cities so obviously they are retarded and biased.

Maybe all this is simply because Obama has turned out to be your standard run of the mill chicago politician and we are seeing it now. As a life long republican I actually considered voting for him and have been following his career for some time now. then i found out hes just another politician with his backtracking and spewing hope and change with no real details. sure hope and change is great but hope for what exactly and change things how? taking the exact opposite stand of Bush on everything does not appeal to me and its not change, its called the democrat party and its what they've been doing for years. Take what Bush says, reverse it, and thats what we will do for better or worse.

McCain stands where I thought Obama did and thats why McCain gets my vote.

The problem is that Palin is a typical American woman!

Look, I think you are right Cafferty's comments betray a bias. No doubt. And I agree with you that Palin's participation motivates the Republican base. And maybe that's the point. Let's call it as it is: of all the various groups that support the two parties, it is the Republican base that is most likely to vote against Obama because of race. That's not bias, its just a sad fact. And while race has been an issue for the demographics of the polls for months, of course, the fact that the Republican base has just been awakened (with the advent of Palin) may mean that race is now a bigger deciding factor than it was 3 weeks ago.

Its their own fault. If they hadn't bought into the sensationalism and actually did their jobs everyone would know what a liar McCain has become and his involvement in this mess. Now know one believes them.

I think things changed when McCain started refusing access.
