I agree. I have many farming friends in Iowa as well. Lived there for 8 years. And they are all voting for Obama.

So, just what IS this farming angle??? I don''t think it means anything. Just more noise.

I don''t know if Florida really matters. George W has a Repbublican in office. Think on this one: Florida was a key state when Al Gore ran and consider how that one turned out. Now that George W has an idea of how to mess up and rig elections what makes it not possible to happen again? Computers? Well I hate to say this but as a programmer for over 20 years there are ways to get into computer data systems via remote without being detected or seen as a threat. My point is this: no one knows the outcome and the outcome can be swayed via one phone call to the right people.

When our grandparents learn about McCain''s ideas to clip Medicare to fund his harebrained health care initiative the Sunshine will be a blue hue.

Obama is the most intelligent presidential candidate USA ever had. He will not only fix the economic melt down but end the unnecessary war.

Obama''s phony record backed by the black congressmen are the worst misleads in the history of politics. Obama disenfranchise and took away the choic of the state in democratic primary. Democrates should remember the humiliation and vote against this nerd.

Americans need a president that will support an environment condusive to CREATING WEALTH NOT REDISTRIBUTING IT. Florida like the rest of the country needs an injection of new enterprenurial capital, new ideas and the right policies to create new jobs.Obama''s policies will destroy the enterprenurial and creative spirit of America. Don''t let this happen at a time when we need it most....

All this back and forth bickering is comical. Has anyone seriously looked at how much money these candidates are throwing away?! It is disgusting. It was nice they were both able to attend the Catholic Charities party and I know, I know, they made $4 million dollars for needy children. But, if they had only given the Catholic Charities their combined campaign costs/functions, I bet theyd end up with enough money to help each states needy children. It makes me sick how much each side spends. As a matter of fact, we here in Wisconsin with Dish Network can tune into the 24/7 Barack Obama TV channel.

I am sick of all the TV ads. You cant go anywhere, do anything, without being reminded of the damm campaign. Where is the fast forward button on life right now?

Red states for red ink. Since 1980 when Reagan first began to over inflate the deficit the free spending republican presidents, Reagan, Bush Sr & Bush Jr have created 11 trillion dollars in red ink. What do we have to show for it? A failed economy, rotten health care, an over extended military and falling down bridges and roads. Nice work guys.

McCain is acting like a castrated man...striking out wildly at what exposes his weakness, his poor judgment...

its time to stop being emotional and look at the facts...Obama is simply and obviously more qualified and McCain has a 1 in 4 chance of dying in the next 4 years. Palin couldn''t run a hick town of 9,000 without corruption. It so heart breakingly obvious that the GOP is out of touch with any kind of new vision.

irmcvet97 - I''m with you! and alaz00

And, fortunately, so are a lot of thinking people in Florida. For fair and accurate reporting of the polls, go to www.fivethirtyeight.com . Check out Florida''s polling results, you''ll see that of the 9 polls registered this week, McCain was on top once.

The people of Florida are hurting. 600,000 unemployed, their plight is well-known around the country; their economy is in trouble.

John McCain has no plausible economic plan other than to take from the poor and give to the rich, hoping the rich will give it back. That''s his plan. Take from the poor, give to the rich, then hope they drop a few crumbs from the table.

The rich people *I* know didn''t take their tax refunds and hire more employees, or give them raises; no, what they did was bought another vacation home while they hoarded their cash unto themselves.

95% of us need the policies of an Obama-Biden administration. This election will be a landslide victory for Obama and the more desparate the Repubs get the worse they look. Once again, they are trying to suppress the vote, because they hate democracy. Bush says he''d rather be a dictator!
