There's 26 days and people are looking at the very serious possibility that there's a chance that Obama might get in, and they don't like that," said Ian Eltrich, 28, as he filed out of the crowded sports complex.
"I'm mad! I'm really mad!" another man said, taking the microphone and refusing to surrender it easily, even when McCain tried to agree with him.
....In recent days, a campaign that embraced the mantra of "Country First" but is flagging in the polls and scrambling for a way to close the gap as the nation's economy slides into shambles has found itself at the center of an outpouring of raw emotion rare in a presidential race.
"I'm not done. Lemme finish, please," he said after a standing ovation. "When you have Obama, [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there going to run the country, we have to have our head examined.
"It's time that you two represent the rest of us. So go get 'em."

That message was clearly shared among the crowd. Mike Payne, who traveled from Madison, Wis., for the rally, rejected the idea that McCain's supporters are angry, preferring to use the word "frustrated."
"It might have something to do with you guys," he told a reporter.
"It's not anger at all. It's frustration. There's millions of people around the country that think like we do. You guys refuse to acknowledge that, and you insult our intelligence by misreporting the information. You are treating [Obama] like he's Britney Spears and covering him like he's Paris Hilton, instead of the next president of the United States, potentially."

Washington Post in full propaganda mode repeating the polls for Obama are ahead.
Ignore the polls. The MSM is lying to you.
So....
If Obama wins, will angry white folks burn down the Wal-marts?
Americans are finally realizing we are on the verge of losing our country to the Communists. It’s going to be close.
The thought that we’re about to be under the absolute control of a party that looks at taxpayers the way pedophiles look at little boys?
That fills ME with anger too.
I saw the video footage and I got psyched up!!!
TAKE IT TO HIM, MCPALIN!!!!!!!!
I am trying to relax and listen to you folks who are saying that the polls are a lie. It’s so easy to feel the frustration that is conveyed by the people in this article.
While the media tries to play this down and act as though Republicans are losing the election and losing their cool, I would like to add that I’m outraged as well. Americans that love their country, will not surrender their freedom nor their children and grandchildren’s futures to socialists. If anyone in the Congress or the mainstream media doubts that the American people are beyond angry, they better think again. The mainstream Liberal media is sadly mistaken in their assessment of the heartland of America. Don’t count us out ever. We were born of American pride. My father fought in WWII and in the Korean War. The World’s Greatest Generation didn’t sacrifice and die for us to throw this country and our freedom away to a Muslim Terrorist nor are our troops fighting in Iraq and Afganistan for us to elect a domestic terrorist.
Not likely, although I can see some white folks being less than enthusiastic about spending their money to prop up the economy during an Obama administration. Especially when you consider that he's about to tax the crap out of the rich.
No, if Obama wins it won’t be necessary to burn Walmart...he’ll kill it softly with his words....and tax burden.
Setting up the Angry White Man straw man for when Obama fails to win.
Win or lose Democrats will be voted out en masse at the midterm elections
Of course they didn’t mention that the gentleman that begged for McCain to go after Rev. Wright et al is a local AA...
Anyone have video footage of that rally today??
James T. Harris is the guy at that rally that was telling McCain to take it to him!!!
DO IT!!!
No but if he wins im moving out to another country like Alaska
The compost didn't give us a very descriptive title .....
Here’s a 3 minute video of the rally:
