"In one week, you can put an end to the politics that would divide a nation just to win an election; that tries to pit region against region, city against town, Republican against Democrat; that asks us to fear at a time when we need hope. In one week, at this defining moment in history, you can give this country the change we need.....In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history. That"s what"s at stake. That"s what we"re fighting for."

GO VOTE NOW! Make History! Obama is need of all the votes necessary to create a landslide. Let's make sure that our state turns blue! Bring your friends and family - make it a group thing! Wouldn't you want to say 1 year from now, 5 years from now, or even 20 years from now that you contributed to the most highlighted election in US history? Wouldn't you be proud to tell your kids/grandkids years from now that you voted for this election? It will be the most talked about election for centuries. Voting is a right and a privilege. Let's all make history together!

Gee, ya think he's writing a book? The only way a Republican gets any attention from the MSM is when one is supposedly going against his "lifelong" conservative beliefs.

By the way, who cares. This turncoat was Chief of Staff for something like 6 months, so he essentially was an advisor during the lame duck stage of Reagan's great presidency. And anyone who knows Reagan knows that a vote for Obama is a vote for everything Reagan was against. The party of Jane Fonda can have Ken.

[antaeus]

Anyone who knew Reagan knows he hated John McCain; at a minimum, he held the Arizona senator in disdain. Have you seen Nancy Reagan's tepid pro-forma "endorsement" of McCain? It's winceworthy; basically, well, Ronnie and I always support the Republican, and now the nomination's been made, so, sure, whatever, I endorse this year's nominee. Hahaha.

Real conservatives are scoffing at this ticket because McCain's choice of Palin is a scandal and an affront to any thinking Republican. It's one thing to go after the Hee Haw vote in order to gain power. It's another thing to put a Hee Haw candidate on the ticket.

[AynRand123]

What, so we should vote for the Socialist (an inexperienced one at that) instead? And since when did liberals give even the slighest sh*t about what Nancy Reagan has to say?

[desertbloom]

Ronald Reagan's chief of staff and Ronald Reagan's son both have endorsed Obama.

That's quite a legacy.

[AynRand123]

Reagan's son has been a limp wristed lefty his entire adult life. I'm pretty sure that Hugo Chavez endorses BO, too. How's that for a "legacy"? Then, of course, there are all those wacally liberals who have endorsed McCain, i.e., Leiberman, Lynn Forester de Rothschild , Wendy Button (Democrat speech writer), former Clinton officials, etc., etc. The MSM has no interest in reporting on that front. And of course, at one point, even Hillary and Joe Biden suggested that McCain was qualified to be president but Obama wasn't.

[antaeus]

Wednesday morning's headlines, "Obama Elected," will be much easier to take if one adopts a reward-him-for-what-he does-right attitude, rather than endlessly fault finding. The election's practically over. Liberals had to suck it up and endure eight years of perhaps the worst president in history, Conservatives will survive Obama.

All of these endorsements are very special and music to my ears but they won't negate the very real votes of biased and ignorant people who have been swayed further by the slime of the McCain/Palin campaign. We must go to the polls and stay as long as it takes us to cast our vote for Obama. We only have the one vote so make sure it counts. Good luck to us all. I hope we get our men in office.

OBAMA and BIDEN TO THE WHITE HOUSE IN 2009.

[ropadopa]

While it is true that endorsements generally do not result in a significant change in voting decisions, what these strings of endorsements are doing is having a massive demoralizing effect on the Republican base by sending a strong disapproval of McCain. Every vote not cast for McCain is a vote cast for Obama. So welcome them and lets talk about them to our Republican friends.

[honestpolitician]

LISTEN ALL: Please Go Vote! There has been confirmed reports of voter disenfranchisement and election fraud with the Republican Party and it's supporters. Obama is need of all the votes necessary to create a landslide. Let's make sure that our state turns blue! Bring your friends and family - make it a group thing! Wouldn't you want to say 1 year from now, 5 years from now, or even 20 years from now that you contributed to the most highlighted election in US history?

"Take nothing for granted..."

VOTE!

[hypocritesonallsides]

Joe Perry of Aerosmith endorsed MaCain...That must be worth something...

[Punkynsnow]

So did Daddy Yankee, LOL!

[Changeizgood]

Our troops are marching door to door, talking driving and arranging for group parties on the line. We were OUR jackets with our Obama shirts zipped, until the vote is cast and then we proudly walk out knowing, that Barack and Joe Biden are on their way in with OUR blessing.

That BS your hearing from "Bone head" is just the kicking and screaming of the brats that over spent and expanded OUR government and taxes on Crony schemers with lobbyist deep in their pockets.

Listen out for the "It's too close to call" Bush It also. The exit polls will reflect. We will wear our jackets zipped, until the vote is cast.

BARACK ON TEAM AMERICAN BLUE TSUNAMI OF CHANGE WE THE PEOPLE NEED!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

CHUGGA CHUGGA BABY!

[ConcernedJoe]

If you are not an authoritarian follower or leader,
if you are not a know nothing,
if you can think for yourself and have half a brain,
if you don't have an agenda that is selfish,
if you can see a better tomorrow for all and can accept that like a "TRUE CHRISTIAN",
, if you are confident in the merits of your opposing arguments and believe some people (like Obama) really do want to do the RIGHT thing and not just their thing
and if you are intellectually honest and otherwise honest

YOU WILL PULL THE LEVER FOR OBAMA AND YOU WILL WEEP WITH JOY WHEN HE IS ELECTED AND OUR COUNTRY BREAKS THE BONDS OF THE IDEOLOGUES AND SELFISH PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELD THE REINS FAR TOO LONG

Obama has done nothing substantial in his whole adult life that suggestions anything other than he's a person devoted to the best core values (values that really count and are not based on a particular delusion's premise), and a sense of intellectual pragmatic striving for what is right and just. He is the ONE for NOW.

[lesleync]

WELL SAID!!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT! 3 MORE DAYS!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

[OutsiderSA]

Ronald Reagan would have NEVER endorsed McCain

There fixed

[Changeizgood]

Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave, at the way his party has been taken over.

Even Reagan, is on OUR side.

Just ask him Johnny Mac, you have an open line. Your almost there and you want to leave us with, a dynamic sucessionist Diva, that will Maverick kick the rest of your party, for the AIP.

She's just there to finish your party off and take your supporters that are left over and don't want to vote for Mac Daddy Bush III

[hypocritesonallsides]

Obama has dead people vote for him so it would make sense that dead people endorse
him.

[wrenny]

I assume you're referring to those that some of the workers ACORN hired registered? Registrations are a far, far different thing from VOTES.
