dON'T GOTTA BEAT mCcAIN. yOU GOTTA BEAT dIEBOLD!
Those damn machines are still out there!!
People are learning about Obama and the Dem's intimate connections with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, despite the MSM blackout. Expect it to get worse Dems.
Obama just has to ignore the false accusations now and ride this wave on in to the Whitehouse. He shouldn't give in to the "Swiftboat" politics of Mccain and Palin, and simply ignore the charges they are leveling against him, just like Palin is ignoring Troopergate. Obama wins by a landslide!

The republicans are really going to get ugly now with their lies!
They are the scum bags responsible for the meltdown.
They will pay the ultimate price when Obama wins.
We have hope now that Obama is in the lead.
As long as people do not believe the garbage being spread by the MCcain camp!
GO OBAMA!
Sorry people but just because it is news YOU do not LIKE does not make it "lies". Tonight CNN, NOT the Republicans, went gave a detailed and disturbing account of Obama's ties to Ayers and Wright, and this is still just the surface. Ayers was not "anti-war" he was (and still is) a Marxist. Obama has too many ties to too many anti-American radicals. The big picture is unfolding fast, FINALLY.
Ayers was a terrorist, who bombed the pentagon and was part of a terrorist group that set off dozens of bombs, robbed banks, and killed people.
As the facts come out it's clear that he and Barack are as tight as ten toes in a sock.
If Booosh or McCain as much as talked to Falwell or Robertson the moontards went berserk, and here they are trying to explain away this "circle jerk" of two, one consisting of the Chosen One, the other a terrorist who wishes he had bombed more.
Millions will be disgusted to learn Ayers' views, and of his association with Obama. This terrorist "barely knew" Barack, yet he entrusted him to dispense millions in Annenberg $$.
Riiiiight!!!
I am predicting in the next few days another "wonderful speech" by the Chosen One to address this issue, and he with some help from the media, as usual, he will actually SOMEHOW turn this into an advantage. This guy is SLICK!
