Consider the Source - just what would one expects from Obama.

Nona, New York City, USA

It's good for Obama. It'll purify him even more and further prepare his character for the role of President. Only souls of integrity are made better by struggle. McCain/Palin steel his platform and then want to make change strictly a case of going up against one's party. Obama breathes it instead.

Teri Foss, Forks, USA

Obama isn't about change, every idea he has is recycled from Democratic platforms of the past, if you have a problem throw more money at it and hire more goverment workers who produce nothing.

Al Richardson, Tracy , CA, u

Obama is right to be worried: The US media is focusing on personalities and one-line put-downs, instead of policies, honesty, and team-working abilities.

Much of the US public does not have sufficient information to understand that choosing expensive war over diplomacy is destroying the US economy.

Does anyone really think Obama sat in that church for 20 years and had no idea what Jeremiah Wright was preaching? If he knew, he's lying--about that and who knows what else? If he didn't know, it's even worse! In either case, do you want someone like that in control of the U.S. nuclear arsenal?

Rex, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA

Elections are not about the future. They are a report card on the past. The Republicans deserve an F for the past 8 years. A vote for Obama is a message: you can't run wild for 2 terms and get away with it.

(Plus I fear the deafening screech of "I told you so" coming from Hilary if Obama loses!)

he was badly on edge with bill o'reilly tonight on fox, complaining about fox news. he is too thin-skinned to be president of the united states.

I guess Mr. Baldwin submitted this article before O'Bama insulted Gov. Palin (as well as the 51% of the voters who are women) by him saying,

"You can put lipstick on a pig..It's still a pig."

"You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change. It's still gonna stink"

I recently read Obama's Renewal Speech of September 26, 2006, I brought up on google, and I was appauled at the blasphemy of the Bible right in the middle of that speech.

The Democrats are demonstrating again what they do best - snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Dave, USA,

Obama has no agenda - his campaign has been based on attacking George Bush. By adding Palin, McCain has made it clear to America that Bush is not running for re-election, leaving Obama with only the issues to discuss - a subject upon which he has nothing to contribute.

BillW, Chicago, USA

If the UK and the World want Obama so badly - you can have him. We certainly don't need him and his socialist policies. To Bob in Edmonton - there is no such thing as universal OPPORTUNITY. People succeed or fail based on how hard they're willing to work for it. Government only screws things up.

"she had received thousands of dollars from her state for expenses incurred "

Nothing improper there, it's OK in Alaska just as in DC where Biden does the same to pay for his daily commute from Delaware.

Stan(expat), USA, USA

The leftists have become unhinged over the McCain/Palin ticket. The more vitriol they create to smear both Republican candidates, the stronger they become. The vast majority of Americans describe themselves as conservative. Lies and name calling just are not going to lead to a Dem victory.in Nov.

William, Los Angeles, USA

Obama should be worried if Gordon Brown is supporting the Democrats.

DaveP, Beverley, UK

Obama is not change he is all talk. Obama has no experience and you want to put him in charge of the most powerful nation in the world. I am Glad America is starting to wake up!

I watch in awe at how gullible Americans are, do the republicans have to steal your TV, and then give it to some CEO before you realize that you are being robbed of your hard work to make the wealthy even richer? I have no problem with wealth, but I do the loss of universal oppertunity bothers me.

Bob, Edmonton, Canada

Luke - what utter tosh! Well before this election McCain was famous for running against the grain of his party. That reputation hasn't come out of nowhere.

& what's so new about relying on govt. tto do stuff when times = hard. That's the oldest, lamest policy possible & it's Obama's policy.

Bertie, London,

8 yrs of the same stuff. For the sake of America and rest of the world, we need change. obama is the change we need. Not someone who voted with George W 91% of the time.

Luke, Spokane, USA

If they are going to find dirt on sarah, they had better hustle- not much time left
