In Ohio, Early Voters May Give Obama Enough Running Head Start That McCain Can't Catch Him on Election Day: Barack Obama 48%, John McCain 46%, in SurveyUSA's final tracking poll released Election Eve. Obama leads 5:3 among those who have already voted. McCain leads 5:4 among those who have not yet voted. Obama led in the past 3 SurveyUSA tracking polls, but by tapering margins. Obama led by 5 on 10/14/08, by 4 on 10/28/08 and by 2 today. It is possible that McCain could overtake Obama in the final 24 hours, but that would require young voters to stay...

Sarah Palin was pretty fired-up over the newly unearthed Obama comments, saying to a crowd at Marietta College that her ticket would not let that happen to the coal industry. “Instead, we’ll make clean coal a reality and to help power the American economy with clean coal technology, we’re going to be looking to the hard-working people of Ohio and West Virginia and Pennsylvania.” With a wink and a smile she said “You betcha. Drill baby drill, and mine baby mine.”

CORAL GABLES (CBS4) ― Just one day before voters will decide on their next president, an invigorated John McCain rocked the house at a post-midnight rally on the University of Miami Campus in Coral Gables, in a speech aimed heavily at Miami's Hispanic community, with a promise that he would continue to fight and win the presidency on Tuesday. "We gotta have all of our rallies at this time of night, I'm telling you," he said to thunderous applause from the crowd that gathered under the banner "Estamos Unidos", Spanish for "We're United". Many had been waiting at the BankUnited...

Republican John McCain continues to trail Democrat Barack Obama in five of eight battleground states that the Arizona senator likely must hold on to to win the presidency, according to new polls. However, the divide separating the candidates is narrow, and there are still a significant number of voters in these states — anywhere from 4 percent to 9 percent — who are undecided. McCain leads Obama in North Carolina, Ohio and Missouri, while Obama is ahead of McCain in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia. All but Pennsylvania are states President Bush won twice. With Obama having shored up...

VIDEO HERE. Barack Obama stated his intention to bankrupt the coal industry in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. That would throw countless people out of work, devastate the economy of many coal producing states, and send electricity prices skyrocketing for everyone. Sarah Palin opposes Barack's bankrupt plan and pledges to fight with everything she has for working Americans! Please ask everyone you know to vote for her Tuesday November 4th!!!

Just received word that Sarah Palin will be making a stop at the Jet Center in Colorado Springs on Monday evening, Nov. 3. Probably some time between 5 and 7. It'll be a simple event -- her plain will land, she'll step in front of a podium near the plane and talk to us, and then continue her flight. I'll have more info shortly.

Presidential candidate John McCain will visit Grand Junction on Election Day, his campaign announced today. Details have not been finalized, said McCain's Colorado spokesman, Tom Kise.

Latest PA poll from SurveyUSA.

Commentary borrowed from another website: If McCain wins this election it's going to be through a strong, grass roots volunteer effort. McCain can't beat Obama on money or boots on the ground. Obama's doing his best to buy the election with his millions, some of it from questionable sources. But we can help overcome Obama's money advantage by going to work for McCain--from the comfort of your own home!

<p>Imagine if John McCain had whispered somewhere that he was willing to bankrupt a major industry? Would this declaration not immediately be front page news? Well, Barack Obama actually flat out told the San Francisco Chronicle (SF Gate) that he was willing to see the coal industry go bankrupt in a January 17, 2008 interview. The result? Nothing. This audio interview has been hidden from the public...until now.</p>

With so many polls showing Obama "ahead" you may be wondering why we should fight. Here's why. When you strip away the national polls and look down deep into each of the battleground states, you find that this is NOT a runaway election for Barack Obama. In fact, the race is tied in almost ALL of the battleground states. The Mason Dixon poll for Fla. and Virginia not only has Obama and McCain statistically tied, but up to 9% of voters in each state are still undecided. We see the same trends in Ohio and Missouri. For the past several...

Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin unleashed a new volley against Barack Obama on a four-city tour of Ohio on Sunday by touting newly released audio comments made by the Democratic presidential candidate promising to restrict the construction of new coal-fired power plants in the U.S. The issue is particularly sensitive in coal-rich Ohio, West Virginia, and Colorado. Obama made the comments to the San Francisco Chronicle in January, which were posted on YouTube over the weekend. Obama said that under his proposal to cap greenhouse gases, energy suppliers would get incentives to develop technologies to reduce pollution and to use...
