Saw it too. Can’t figure out what they are doing. Maybe it is reverse psychology. We sent our ballots in this weekend. All I know is not to listen to the doomsayers. Tuesday night they’ll be saying it’s all over by 6 pm PST. Don’t listen to them and go VOTE!

Donated...again and again.

Making calls, most uncomfortable thing I’ve done in a while. Not a salesman, private and don’t like to talk much and don’t like calls myself.

They're saving their ammo for when it is going to stay fresh in people's minds. And that will give Obama virtually no chance to launch a counterattack.

Most posters unlike you are pretty ignorant of how elections are won.

In the final days there are two thrusts made by every successful campaign. The first is to go after the undecided voters. These are the independent swing voters that often wait until the final days and hours before making up their minds.

The second prong is to run ads designed to reduce the turn out for the opponent. These are often called negative ads because they are designed to reduce the votes for an opponent not increase the votes for the candidate. The Rev. Wright ad is designed to turn Democrats against Obama. The I've always served my county ad is for the undecideds.

Independent voters, often called swing voters, sometimes vote for the left and sometimes for the right. They are not ideological at all. They vote for a candidate they can like,and trust ... one that they think will look out for their best interests. If a candidate personally does attack ads in the final days he will almost certainly lose these independent voters. If on the other hand he looks and acts like a nice person that cares for them... they will vote for that candidate. If you look at McCain's ads that show John McCain that is what they are doing.

If on the other hand you look at ads run by the Republican party or 527s, they are attack ads that portray Obama as follower of Rev Wright by showing Wright and what he has said. This is aimed at Democrats to stop them from just voting the party line with out thinking about Obama and his associates. It will Cost Obama Votes!

Those that are angry at McCain for not attacking Obama are just foolish. I am reminded of all the dummies that were totally angry with Reagan for his failure to attack Jimmy Carter in 1980. Even William F. Buckley was angry with Reagan for playing nice guy when he could have been attacking Carter. All William F proved to me was he did not know diddly about wining elections. Typical intellectual. See Peggy Noonan for this years brilliant idiot.

Had Reagan been as unknowing about running for office as William F., Jimmy Carter would have had a second term.

McCain may lose this election but his campaign has been fantastic. Many believe the media when they tell you McCain is not running a good campaign. The truth is if McCain was truly running a bad campaign the media would never mention it. Hey McCain we are doing all we can to defeat you.. so we thought we would tell you what you need to correct in order to beat Obama... RIGHT!!!

I may have missed this, but is there some indication in PA, (Amish turnout ?) that would provide an early indicator of how the state is going on Tuesday ?

I’m starting to wish we had another two weeks before the election and it might really make a difference for McCain. I wonder how many of those coal miners did early voting for Obama before this story on coal was released. I agree with Fred Barnes that early voting has been a negative on the process, because people vote without knowing information that surfaces at the end.

He should have gone with either romney or arnie.Sure arnie can’t become president...

That's the first thing you got (almost) right.

Constitutional Lesson #1:

The qualifications for the VP ARE THE SAME as for President!

Arnie can't make the team, genius....
