Bloomberg:

Democrat Barack Obama leads Republican presidential nominee John McCain in battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Minnesota, according to new polls.

Obama, an Illinois senator, leads 49 percent to 42 percent among Ohio voters, according to a Columbus Dispatch poll of 2,262 likely voters released yesterday.

The survey, conducted Sept. 24 to Oct. 3, shows a change from a poll by the newspaper before the parties' nominating conventions, when McCain had a single percentage-point advantage. The state is crucial to the Arizona senator's campaign, because no Republican has won the presidency without carrying Ohio.

We should fear that we don't live in a democracy any longer. The cyber security with current voting machines is in the bronze age and paid GOP computer hackers alter results going from polling stations to district offices which total the results. Also, GOP members in office are purging voters in VA, MO, and LA. Please see the videos and sites below, then call the Obama campaign to express your concern and voice your opinion (especially if you are a contributor like I am) and tell them you want something done about it.

Obama campaign number is 1-866-675-2008 and press option 6 to speak to a volunteer. They are answering the phone 7 days a week.

How the next election will be stolen:

We need to take action:

The voter purging in Virginia (and in general):

It is our responsibility to take action. Call someone, write someone, pass this along, talk about it, etc. We can't just sit idle and read about these things that are happening in our country and be passive.

Early voting by mail helps reduce voter fraud. I have sent in my ballot already here in Arizona [notthat Obama can win here] but my family has contributed to his campaign and we are voting for him.

Has anyone seen the article posted in "The Voice" where Virginia McCain chair Bobby May makes some seriously racist remarks about Obama? Just found it on Daily KOS. Here is the link if you're interested, and please pass it along.

Sure-Shot Dickie has been so very quiet....too quiet. I suspect he is plotting something deep inside the dank bowels of my WH, where he hatches his devious plans. I am sure he some dark plan to turn around the current polling results. Count of it.

I only hope the repubs don't do worse; like an 'incident' before Nov. 4th that will be blamed on 'terrorists'; I would not be surprised, but I think at this point most people will not be dumb enough to fall for it.
The stock market is in the tank. We, as a country, and as a people, must live within our means. Ireland, Germany, Iceland, Greece and many other coutnries are insuring all deposits with no limit. Here is the U.S. we are getting a "temporary" increase of $250,000 that the FDIC will insure. The 'mess' started in this country. There should be NO TAXES ON INTEREST EARNED AT ANY BANK. If you want to encourage savings, that's what you do, but the gov and big business [mastercard, visa, banks] want every citizen in debt. STOP TAXING INTEREST AND RAISE THE FDIC permanently on all saivngs accounts.

Everybody should vote. I can't imagine staying on the sidelines; everyone should be part of this! All the more reason, if its a landslide.

And make sure that if you know someone who is just registering to vote, to let them know that that ISNT their vote. They must go to their designated polling place on Nov 4th. And this isnt just 'poor' people, some college kids have even thought that by registering to vote, they had voted and were finished! Go figure!

The problem is, will they try another surprise of some kind. Will something blowup, or new crisis to distract people away from things. Will they use illegal means to manipulate the electronic votes , or is their someone setting them up this time with the voting fraud, to prosecute them after they leave office. Its not over with this bunch of crooks until the next person takes the oath of office. Maybe this time he will actually abide by it.

I think it's safe to say Obama has won this. I think the turning point was when McCain tried to get out of that debate a couple of weeks ago. That looked like he was quitting. Then of course the debate itself was won by Obama and then McCain made an imbecil of himself over the economic crisis. The gap between them will only get wider from here on out. A few weeks from election day, it will seem like a joke. But then that's dangerous because many people may not vote, thinking that he will win by a landslide.

picking palin, suspending campaign, pulling out of Michigan, dodging debates, failure to get GOP house repubs on board.....it's a combination of lots of lots of stuff that leave people cold to Mcpalin.....and he picked a running mate with more issues that we could imagine.

More economic bloodshed today, Congressional hearings into Wall Street shenanigans, several overseas market trading halts, unemployment report last week, yep, not voting or voting for McPalin is NOT an option here.

Did you know McCain is pulling out of Michigan, although Palin wants to stay in there?

Did you know Obama pulled out of Georgia, Nebraska, North Dakota, Alaska. Didn't think so.

Palin's comment was damage control. Try engaging your brain prior to typing.

Alaska, please, he never even bothered with Alaska.

Did you know in 2000 and 2004 the media wrote off Bush at this point.

Did you know that Bush won both times?
