1 in 4 people in America admits being racist, and 2 in 5 claims to be christians. 50% all have guns. 60% live in poverty and 51% claims to be Republicans. They support a set of Neo - Conservative policies they don't understand. Much of which is about de-populating the world the 3rd world by WARS.

Imagine a captain of a ship, full of anxious passengers whose worldly goods were at risk. Instead of a firm hand at the wheel, the captain said this way, shifted direction, this way, shifted direction, this way, shifted direction. What a catastrophe to have such scattered leadership! Obama ho!

Situation for McCain seems desperate, His only help can come from the reluctancy of people to vote for a black

Check Obamas background-see for yourself why in spite of all the biased media attacks,McCain and Palin are still the best choice to lead the greatest country in the world!

As a large percentage of the ‘anti-Americanism’ felt across the world would quickly evaporate if the Hawks were removed from the White House - the American people should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize provided they don’t elect another group of Hawks.

Younger and inexperienced does not disqualify one for leadership. Even in Singapore CG young people are groomed to be leaders even without experience

Claire, Baltimore,

You overlooked May 5, 2006
In a letter to the Senate Majority Leader and Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, McCain warned that financial disaster lay ahead if Congress failed to pass legislation to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, who, even in 2006 had $1.5 trillion of debt between them.

I am deeply concerned about Gov. Palin's success in inciting the radicals, racists, and bigots in her party with her personal attacks against Obama. But then few have suggested she's intelligent enough to see the link between her actions and those of her supporters if any personal harm results.

Becky, Salem, USA

When you are picking a president the person to run the country, everything needs to be taken into consideration. Their past, their experiance to lead the country, what they are telling you, and who they associate with help mold what kind of leader they will be. John McCain is that man this time.

Dwight, Evansville, United States of America

Mccain is too old to run for President. Also, he has been so erratic lately until it is scary.

Mccain's biggest problem began when he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. That's when his problems began.
I am not a Republican, but in all fairness to Mccain, Sarah Palin adds absolutely nothin

Michael North - ACORN is a non-story, a fake scandal concocted by Republicans as an excuse to purge electoral lists of likely Democrat voters.

Kate, Hampshire, UK

This time. This year. I will not be swayed by racism or dirty slurs. I have observed and listened to both candidates carefully. I have no doubt that Obama represents the aspirations of all Americans of goodwill. I will vote for Obama. I will vote for Change. It is my gift to my young children

'He snatched the microphone later from a woman who suggested Mr Obama was an Arab.' [...] '...the claim that millions of foreigners were praying to “Hindu, Buddha, Allah that his opponent wins”.'

What must the countless thousands of good, honest, hard-workng American Hindus and Muslims think?

Sean, Surrey, UK

These attacks by the Mccain campaign on Senator Obama are disgraceful, in particular Governor Palin, accusing him of 'palling around with terrorists'.This is the 21st century, surely by now opposing politicians can win their campaigns by fighting the issues,rather than slandering each other.

jn, orlando,

The McCain campaign seems to be bringing out the worst in people - fear, hatred, xenophobia - whilst the Obama campaign seems to be doing the opposite - inclusiveness, respect for different viewpoints,

What does this tell us?

Beng Low, Chiangmai, Thailand

How wonderful it would be to have a US president who is intelligent and articulate and not influenced by far right wing religious bigots - there is not only hope now for America but for the whole free world.

ruskee, London,

Has anyone noticed that the Monday poll releases show the race closing up again? McCain's biggest problem is his constant shifting--he should be hammering the Obama vote registration fraud machine (ACORN), and keep hammering, instead of flitting like an aged butterfly from theme to theme.

Michael North, Bryan, USA

Can American transcend racism? This is the question that is on all of our minds. Senator Obama has proven himself to be steady, intelligent, and thoughtful. Senator McCain, not so much.

Saxxon Domela, Mount Vernon, United States

I've always been a Democrat, but I used to like McCain. I actually could have voted for him, back in 2000. It's too bad, for the entire world, that Karl Rove's tactics took him out of the running for the GOP nomination that year. McCain would NOT have started the war in Iraq, that's for sure.

Clay Adams, Rochester, NY, USA

Its odd that the younger Obama seems the more experienced, more patient and steadier campaigner than the (much) older , seasoned politician in McCain.

CG, Singapore,

The McCain I knew is gone. What a shame
