The final days
November 2nd, 2008
There is one full day left before the election and barring some unforeseen development there I’d likely little left that can shake up the race.
If the polls are correct Obama seems likely to head for a big win tomorrow. The last two shots for McCain are:
1) Turnout (Higher than expected foe him, lower than expected for Obama. Naturally
2) Independents. If they break heavily for McCain there is still a shot.
I will be staying up to watch the vote here using multiple means of communication to spread news. So make sure to stop by!

I have ALWAYS known whom I plan to vote for well in advance of going to the polls. This election has been tough. It is a “vote for the least worst candidate” election.
I am a veteran, middle class, and a divorced single mother. I have been a fan of McCain's for over a decade. He lost me with the negative campaigning and with Sara Palin. It is clear that not a lot of thought and time was put into his choice of running mate.
Obama. What can I say? First the ordeal with his preacher, he then refused to put his hand over his heart during the anthem, refused to wear the flag lapel pin, REFUSED to shake hands with the troops, has less than “patriotic” associates, his voting record is rediculous (you can actually just vote “present”? What is that junk?) And just because he surrounds himself with movie stars, has blown millions on his overkill campaign, and is an articulate speaker- NO- I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THAT PIECE OF FOD. Biden is cool, but he will be just the vice president.
Last year, I was absolutely anti-Hilary… now- I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO HAVE HILARY BACK ON THE BALLOT.
You know what, I am going to go vote in just over 8 hours… and I seriously don't know what to do. I think that I have narrowed it down to 2 candidates to pencil in on my ballot…
HILARY CLINTON or MICKEY MOUSE.
I can't believe that will the several million Americans that populate our country- that not ONE single moral person is available to step up to the plate and take office with dignity, courage, and honor. I can't believe that the best our two major politcal parties could offer is the pathetic display we have been witnessing over the past several months. I soooo can not wait for this election to be over… it is worse than the media coverage on OJ Simpson was… and I am sick of the Democratic party calling up and harrassing my family all of the time.
AND I KNOW THAT OBAMA IS GOING TO WIN. If I could afford it, I would move to another country NOW. I proudly gave over 10 years of my life to my country, always teared up during the national anthem… and now my stomach turns when I think of our government, our policies, our crumbling “paper” economy- and no matter who gets elected- WE ARE SCREWED.
What else can be said? We are a sinking ship- and Obama is going to be at the helm.

Hey American people: Don't vote blindly; educate yourselves on the background and legislative accomplishments of each one of our presidential candidates. If your voting for whomever Hollywood or the mainstream media has influenced you to vote for, you just might see “change” in America; but I can promise you it won't be welcomed “change”. Find out the facts for yourself….if you are trusting the voice of Hollywood, you have given up your own personal rights as a U.S. Citizen to be an informed voter. Trust me, most of you reading this has a higher intellect that most in Hollywood. Give yourself the credit….think for yourself.
P.S. Maybe you should consider what our Democrat majority in Congress has done before pointing the finder at the once “well-liked” President Bush. President Bush is currently trying to give the American people another tax credit check before December 31, 2008 to stimulate our economy during the holiday season and Congress is saying “NO”. Now who are the bad guys here? Let's put blame where blame belongs America!
