  • CBS Evening News Where They Stand

    The CBS Evening News provides an in-depth look at the issues facing the 44th president.

(CBS/AP)  Warmed by the cheers of thousands, John McCain and Barack Obama plunged through the final weekend of their marathon race for the White House, the Republican digging for an upset while his confident-sounding rival told supporters, "We can change this country."

"Yes we can," he added, his slogan across 21 months of campaigning.

Both candidates were backed by legions of surrogate campaigners, door to door canvassers and volunteers at phone banks scattered across the country as they made their final rounds Saturday in a race that carried a price tag estimated at $2 billion.

Obama, ahead in the polls, maintained his stride despite news that an aunt from Kenya, Zeituni Onyango, lives in the U.S. illegally. The Democratic candidate "has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed," said a written statement given to The Associated Press.

Campaign strategist David Axelrod added, "I think people are suspicious about stories that surface in the last 72 hours of a national campaign."

McCain made no mention of Obama's relative, but he worried aloud about the consequences of Democrats winning the White House while maintaining control of Congress. He warned of an agenda that "apparently ... starts with lowering our defenses and raising our taxes."

He contended that Obama was "running for redistributor in chief, I'm running for commander-in-chief."

The Republican spent much of the day in Virginia, trying to make up ground in a state that has not voted Democratic since 1964 but leans that way now. "We're a few points down but we're coming back," he said. "I'm not afraid of the fight, I'm ready for it and you're going to fight with me." (Read more on the race in Virginia)

On Sunday and Monday, the last two days before election day, McCain will campaign in nine battleground states, reports CBS News correspondent Chip Reid. Of those, seven voted for George W. Bush in 2004; only Pennsylvania and New Hampshire did not.

In Wyoming today, Vice President Dick Cheney said McCain is "the right leader for this moment in history."

"John is a man who understands the danger facing America," Cheney said. "He’s a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched. He’s a man who’s comfortable with responsibility and has been since he joined the armed forces at the age of 17. He’s earned our support and confidence, and the time is now to make him commander-in-chief."

Obama's referenced Cheney's comments at an appearance in Pueblo, Colorado late this afternoon.

"I’d like to congratulate Senator McCain on this endorsement because he really earned it," Obama said, according to prepared remarks. "That endorsement didn’t come easy. Senator McCain had to vote 90 percent of the time with George Bush and Dick Cheney to get it. He served as Washington’s biggest cheerleader for going to war in Iraq, and supports economic policies that are no different from the last eight years. So Senator McCain worked hard to get Dick Cheney’s support."

Obama was in Nevada, then Colorado and Missouri today, all states that voted for President Bush four years ago.

"We have a righteous wind at our back," he told one audience.

In Nevada, a state hard-hit by the a mountain of foreclosures, Obama pounded away on his economic message, reports CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds. Roughly a third of the 1.2 million registered voters in the state have already cast ballots - a potential positive for the Obama campaign, according to the latest CBS News poll on early voting trends.

A recent CBS News/New York Times poll, released on Thursday, showed Obama ahead 52 percent to 41 percent.

But the McCain campaign is pointing to a new Associated Press poll showing that one out of seven voters have yet to make up their minds.

CBS News' John Bentley reports that McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, sent out a memo to supporters and the press outlining their path to 270 electoral votes, which includes their hope that they can persuade a large number of undecided voters.

Referring to the AP poll, Davis wrote: "That means, if 130 million voters turn out on Tuesday, 18.5 million of them have yet to make up their mind." (Read more in From The Road)

McCain's hopes of an upset hinged on winning all or nearly all the states that carried Bush to victory in 2004, and possibly carrying Pennsylvania to give him a margin for error.

Ways To Win
Calculate your own path to the presidency with our Electoral Vote prediction map.
Apart from the presidential campaign, Democrats confidently predicted they would add to their majorities in the House and Senate.

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was in a close and costly battle for re-election.

But so was Democratic Rep. John Murtha, several days after describing his southwestern Pennsylvania constituents as racists. Democrats arranged for former President Clinton to campaign for the anti-war lawmaker in hopes of saving his seat.

Bush was nowhere near the campaign crowds as the election neared, and McCain wouldn't have it any other way, given low presidential approval ratings.

Like Obama and McCain, the vice presidential running mates campaigned toward the finish line.

Sen. Joe Biden was in Indiana, another traditionally Republican state where Democrats are running hard. He accused Republicans of "trying to take the low road to the highest office in the land. They are calling Barack Obama every name in the book."

Republican Sarah Palin, in New Port Richey, Fla., said Biden had it backwards - it was the Democrats who were resorting to unseemly tactics.

"Barack Obama goes around promising a new kind of politics, then he comes here to Florida and tries to exploit the fears and worries about Social Security and Medicare for retirees, and that's the oldest and cheapest kind of politics there is," she said.

The rhetorical flourishes were merely the most visible aspect of the late-campaign effort.

McCain's campaign said it was reaching more voters than Bush's re-election campaign did at this point four years ago, more than one million a day. Volunteers in reliably Republican states like Utah were bused to nearby battlegrounds like Nevada.

Democrats had a similar plan. Volunteers in Maryland were told they were needed in Virginia.

Early voting statistics were large, and tilted Democratic. In North Carolina, officials said 2.3 million ballots had been cast as of Saturday morning, 52 percent of them by Democrats and 30 percent by Republicans.

In Missouri, spokesman Justin Hamilton said Obama's campaign had agreements with cab companies across the state to provide Election Day rides to the polls for any voter who wanted one.

He said the callers would not be asked how they intended to vote.

According to the front page of the Wall Street Journal (Friday October 31, 2008) %u201CFinancial giants getting injections of federal cash owed their executives more than $40 billion for past years'' pay and pensions as of the end of 2007.%u201D Examples cited include Goldman Sachs ($11.8 Billion), J.P. Morgan ($8.5 Billion) and Morgan Stanley ($ 10-12 Billion). Most of the firms have not funded these payments so one must assume that the funds used to pay these executives, who drove their firms and the world economy to the edge of a cliff, must come from resources that could have been used to reduce the tax payer funded bailout. I fail to see how this is not a redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the upper class. Furthermore, I have trouble understanding why these wealthy failures should continue to get the Bush tax cuts that McCain is fighting so hard to preserve. Please forward this to other blogs and news outlets

Palin Loves to call Obama a Socialist Redistributor

Along with the rest of Alaskan''s

She''''s the only Candidate to accept Socialized Redistribution of tax revenue

(AP) Consumer confidence plunged to its lowest on record in October

(AP) Home prices tumbled by the sharpest annual rate ever in August

Meanwhile

McCain admits that he''s weak on the economy.

McCain quote:


"I don''t know how the economy works, I''ll have to choose a V.P. who does."

Palin simply doesn''t fill McCain''s admitted hole the economic bucket.

Where do you think Bush got the money to make up for those tax cuts for him and his friends? No, not just China. From me, and others making under $250,000.00. Now THAT you silly goose, is COMMUNISM FOR THE RULING ELITE AT ITS FINEST. Sh it, if you want to talk about tax breaks, have the common courtesy to bring some honest dialogue to the table.

What if things were switched around? Think about it.
What if the Obama''s had paraded five children across the stage, including a three-month-old infant and an unwed, pregnant teenage daughter?
What if John McCain was a former president of the Harvard Law Review?
What if Barack Obama finished fifth from the bottom of his graduating class?
What if McCain had only married once, and Obama was a divorcee?
What if Obama was the candidate who left his first wife after a severe disfiguring car accident, when she no longer measured up to his standards?
What if Obama had met his second wife in a bar and had a long affair while he was still married?
What if Michelle Obama was the wife who not only became addicted to painkillers but also acquired them illegally through her charitable organization?
What if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?
What if Obama had been a member of the Keating Five?
What if McCain was a charismatic, eloquent speaker?
What if Obama couldn''t read from a teleprompter?
What if Obama was the one who had military experience that included discipline problems and a record of crashing seven planes?
What if Obama was the one who was known to display publicly, on many occasions, a serious anger management problem?
What if Michelle Obama''s family had made their money from beer distribution?
What if the Obama''s had adopted a white child?
Why is this election not a landslide?

It is sad and pathetic how people who continually get scr*wed by the Republicans are their strongest supporters. Even when presented with fact that Obamas plans would benefit them more they still claim he will "redistribute" their "wealth".

Trinkled down economics only result is the wealthy p*ssing on the middle and working class nothing more.

I, for one, am sick of it!

You fell for it with Bush and look what happened - Wake up, Wise up, Suck it up and VOTE Obama on Tuesday!

with barry obama spending over 600 MILLION DOLLARS. if he were the better candidate he should be way ahead in the polls. The closeness of the race shows how inferior barry obama really is and how much onrecorded money he must spend to win. barry obama is NOT the right man for President.

Actually it only goes to show that a very good candidate for President that does not fit the mold has to be 10 times more intelligent, 10 times more composed and spend 10 times the amount of money to get the same result he would if he fit the mold.

FYI - the mold is 50-70 yrs old, white male.

Why can''t Sarah Palin release even a summary medical report? Is it drugs? abortions? Still wondering why she put an unborn at high risk by taking a 8 hour long flight to Alaska after her water broke. She did not take immediate or on flight medical attention.

Where are Palin''s medical records? It is rumored that she suffered a nervous breakdown in her thirties and was treated for sever depression. Perhaps that is why she is purposely withholding her medical records weeks after she pledged to release them.

Well, it''''s official. Obama is going to be the new president. How do I know this? McCain has started campaigning for him. Last few stump speeches I have seen from him, he says "it''''s time for change".
So, McCain has thrown in the towel. He has decided to endorse Obama.

In fact, I am watching McCain speak in PA right now. And he is practically copying Baracks material line by line. Guess he realized who is best for our country.

kevinkkloste;

If Obama looked whiter than black he would have at least a 30 point lead in the polls and would win at least 49 states this Tuesday.

I am very (pleasantly) surprised that he has the size lead that he does.

ANYBODY who votes for 4 more years of republican destruction, deserves the misery they will inherit, although their children, grandchildren, and the rest of America do not.

Take My statement as a FACT%u2026%u2026I Guaranty %u2026.
"Mark my words,". %u2026%u2026..
I will say categorically%u2026 that the reason Obama dose not release requested information and dose not talk about his past affiliations is because
it would be damaging to him for America to find out the
TRUTH.

That%u2019s the only logical explanation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Once people go down the path of overlooking Obama%u2019s Lies, past affiliations and records..
It%u2019s not easy to go back and investigate the issues.
It%u2019s easier just to go along with the PROGRAM%u2026%u2026..

FOOLS%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026

The people of Germany drank a whole lot of KOOL-AID..
Before they accepted Hitler%u2019s load of SH*T..

Obama has promised everything to everyone the masses have fallen for it Hook Line and Sinker.

After McCain wins%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026



It%u2019s of the utmost importance that we spend as much money as is possible to Teach Math and Science in the public schools. So that poor people can better themselves. Otherwise we will continue to have a bunch of dumb low income democrats standing line looking for hand-outs securing the Democratic BASE.
This is a National Emergency and if we don%u2019t address it we are doomed to Communism.

The networks love to get Americans side tracked with petty stories about clothing allowances instead of covering real stories.Obama wants us to focus only on the economy so that we won''''t think about our national security which would bring out his weekness.Doesn''''t it bother anyone that Obama''''s circle of friends hate America?Look at the philosophy of wright,Ayers,Odinga and they don''''t paint a pretty picture.Obama went to Kenya in 2007 to support the radical Odinga,who when he lost,was responsible for killing innocent women and children.David Axelrod,Obama''''s campaign manager successfully ran a campaign to get a corrupt man elected mayor of Philadelphia by playing the race card,and now he''''s doing it with Obama.Everywhere Obama goes,he plays one group against the other;you know those bitter Americans clinging to their guns and Bible;he lied to a congregation in Selma,AL about his parents being inspired to have him because of Selma,when in fact he was born in 1961 and that event happened in 1965.He has a new story everywhere he goes,and you''''re just playing into his lies to help him achieve his ambition.I urge you to google and YOUTUBE Obama/Odinga and also Prince Alwaleed bin Talal who financed his law school education

I''m for John McCain but if Obama wins I will support him.

The worse thing that could happen if Obama wins is that our enemies see us as weak and divided.

As Biden said

"Mark my words,". "It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We''re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don''t remember anything else I said. Watch, we''re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy."

"I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate. "And he''s gonna need help. And the kind of help he''s gonna need is, he''s gonna need you - not financially to help him - we''re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it''s not gonna be apparent initially, it''s not gonna be apparent that we''re right."

"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd

What is Biden warning us about that not apparently right.
It''s not apparently right to turn to Communism ?
It''s not apparently right to convert to Islam?
It''s not apparently right to kill your parents ?
It''s not apparently right to vote for Obama ?


What%u2019s not Apparent.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs) is a slogan popularized by Karl Marx in his 1875 Critique of the Gotha Program.[1] The phrase summarizes the principles that, under a Communist System, every person should contribute to society to the best of their ability and consume from society in proportion to their needs,

The Obama camp deliberately set up their credit card processing so that they would not have to record the credit card%u2019s user name and address.
All they need is the credit card number.

The only reason for doing it that way is so the donor could not be traced.
And they can receive credit card fraud funds.
Both of which are illegal.

It''s not so bad enough that Obama''s trying to BUY the election
But he is doing it with illegal money.

Obama paid for last night infomercial with dirty money.

(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai''i over Barack Obama''s bogus "original" birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai''i backed his assertion that there was an original, "typewritten, 1961" birth certificate, called a "Certificate of Live Birth" or "COLB" in Hawai''i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai''i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.

Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the "original" on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.

Hawai''i officials have now refuted Obama''s false assertion.

Martin''s victory in Honolulu will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign. Internet chatter is expected to explode as the issue moves to the front page over Saturday and Sunday. Swing voters may be swayed by the exposure that Obama has brazenly been lying to the American people. "We just lobbed a grenade into the final weekend of the presidential campaign," says Andy.

"I am ecstatic. I called Obama a liar. I called Factcheck.org ''ObamaLies.org.'' I said CNN was sloppy and lazy and wrong. And I was right. The State of Hawai''i has now backed me up.

--Andy Martin

In Wyoming today, Vice President *** Cheney said McCain is "the right leader for this moment in history."

"John is a man who understands the danger facing America," Cheney said. "He%u2019s a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched. He%u2019s a man who%u2019s comfortable with responsibility and has been since he joined the armed forces at the age of 17. He%u2019s earned our support and confidence, and the time is now to make him commander-in-chief."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am not surprised that 5-deferment Cheney would say that about McCain.

BUT, looked into the face of evil and not flinched???????????

According to his own words, McCain, almost immediately after being captured in Vietnam, caved in and collaborated with the enemy, and give them military information in exchange for treatment for his injuries.

That Information almost certainly led to more pilots being shot down and/or infantry deaths on the ground.

Most people would likely give in to torture, IF they were really being tortured, But there are pictures of McCain in a hospital bed, just 4 days after being captured, that show NO obvious signs of physical torture.

He has used his POW status like a blank check for political gain ever since he was released.

Not many Americans, and certainly NO heroes, would do that to the extent that McCain has.
