From CBS News' John Bentley:

(HERSHEY, PA.) – With one week to go before Election Day, John McCain is playing a little offense today, trying to turn a blue state red – Pennsylvania – and some defense, as he heads to North Carolina, which used to be firmly in the Republican column, but is now a neck-and-neck race.

McCain unveiled a new attack on Obama last night in Pottsville, where he questioned Obama's tax plan as well as his readiness on foreign affairs.

"Sen. Obama is running to be 'Redistributionist-in-Chief.' I'm running to be Commander in Chief. Sen. Obama is running to spread the wealth. I'm running to create more wealth. Sen. Obama is running to punish the successful. I'm running to make everyone successful," McCain said.

McCain has two Pennsylvania rallies with his running mate Sarah Palin, one here in Hershey and another in Quakertown, followed by a solo event in Fayetteville, North Carolina, this evening.

Gov. Palin is herself much more qualified to be President than Obama!

McCain is not the BEST choice for President, however, Obama is by FAR the worst choice for President! Even his own running mate has told that he is too dangerous for the country! When are you going to listen? After we invade Pakistan like he said he would do during the debates?

We Americans have to take responsibility! We can%u2019t spend or tax our way out of it! We must elect McCain if we stand a chance at all of heading off a depression and further world conflict!

Even you Democrats have to admit, there are far more qualified people in your Party than Obama. The one trait that got Obama his nomination was his RECORD of voting obedience to the Party. So for you who can%u2019t see what is happening, the Democratic Party is making a bid for the Oval Office, not just Obama. He will only be a puppet for the Democratic Party, doing their bidding.

Remember, the Democratic Party has controlled Congress for the last 2 years and has an approval rating that is 1/2 of President Bush%u2019s! Just look what they%u2019ve done to our country in those two short years! And that%u2019s fighting against an opposition Administration! Think what will happen to the country if these same chukleheads gain control of it all!; Reply to this comment

With accusations of voter registration fraud swirling as early voting begins in many states, some Hillary Clinton supporters are saying: %u201CI told you so.%u201D

Already in Iowa, the Obama campaign was breaking the rules, busing in supporters from neighboring states to vote illegally in the first contest in the primaries and physically intimidating Hillary supporters, they say.

Obama%u2019s surprisingly strong win in Iowa, which defied all the polls, propelled his upstart candidacy to front-runner status. But Lynette Long, a Hillary supporter from Bethesda, Md., who has a long and respected academic career, believes Obama%u2019s victory in Iowa and in 12 other caucus states was no miracle. %u201CIt was fraud,%u201D she told Newsmax.

Long has spent several months studying the caucus and primary results.

by hihawaii1 October 28, 2008 12:19 PM EDT: I''m ashamed of John McCain. In the final hour spreading the hate around in all manner of ways. Comparing Obama to the holocast to Jewish people, Promoting the namecalling of marxism, socialist. Allowing a POW to put down democrats in general as dangerous. I thought from the very beginning that the GOP would do something to endanger Americans in the war and lo and behold there was an attack in Syria that killed innocent people and their spokesperson believes it has something to do with the campaign (calling the GOP party extremists and a ploy for troops to stay longer in Iraq) I tend to believe him. The GOP represents barbaric cruelty to me capable of doing just that.; Reply to this comment
