I don't want to say that McCain will definitely lose the presidential election, but this endorsement pretty much tells me that he will.

Every morning when I wake up I flip between Morning Joe on MSNBC and Mike & Mike on ESPN2. On Morning Joe lately they seem to leaning toward the McCain / Palin ticket, but refuse to outwardly say so. Every guest they have on, whether they be an Obama supporter or not, when something is said in favor of Obama, Joe Scarborough whines and rants, not allowing guests to speak.
This clip annoys me because of the discussion after Willie Geists sets himself up on the upper west side of New York City with a McCain / Pail t-shirt only to be greeted by Obama supporters. Brzezinski and frequent guest Mike Barnicle were suprised that the people of the city of New York greeted Geist with disgust. Barnicle commented by stating, "it proves why so many people are so right, to really loathe so many on the left. Those people are so close-minded."

Gallup Daily: Likely Voters (Traditional)
According to the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll among likely voters Obama leads McCain 51 to 43.
23% Of Texans Believe Obama is a Muslim
A poll conducted by the Texas Politics Project and Department of Government at The University of Texas at Austin projects that 23% of Texans believe that Barack Obama is a Muslim.
Obama is not a Muslim, but this poll is important because, unfortunately, in a country where church and state are supposed to be separate, being Muslim automatically eliminates you from presidential contention.

Whites Don't Have To Vote For Obama....
...Because a black man won't?
This ad, which I will give McCain credit for not endorsing, is, in my opinion, offensive. First, the use of Dr. King is completely ridiculous. Sure, Dr. King did say that "we should not judge people by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," and I agree, but are we insinuating that that Obama's character is in question? I question McCain's issues and his campaign, not his character.
Secondly, this ad is clearly an attempt to comfort white undecided voters who do not want to vote for Obama because he is black. A black man stating that he won't vote for Obama even though he is black, gives comfort to those who don't want to vote for Obama because he is black. And lost in all of this are the issues. Which candidate views the world as I do? Who do I feel will fix the economy? Who will fix the way Americans are viewed around the world? These are just a few of the questions we need to ask ourselves.

Obama vs McCain
Somehow, this is getting close again. This is why we should not take this election for granted. No matter what the pundits say, we need to go out and vote. I don't care if they call the election early on Tuesday, November 4, VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!

Gallup: Early Voters Favor Obama
With seven days remaining until the election, several states have started voting early. In a poll conducted by Gallup, among people who have alreadly voted, Obama leads McCain 53% to 43%. But do not let this fool you, previous elections have shown that the presidential elections typically tighten in the days prior to the election.
Game Five Suspended, Again

Game five of the World Series, which was suspended last night in the sixth inning, was again suspended tonight and will continue tomorrow night. The game was tied between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelphia Phillies, in what has become the lowest rated game five. Hopefully, the suspension of game five, the first time a game has been suspended in World Series history, will work for Major League Baseball.
