48 Hours for the Undecided to Decide

COLUMBUS (Nov. 2, 2008) – With only 48 hours remaining in the race for the White House, the battleground state of Ohio both presidential candidates are pressing their argument about why undecided voters should do more than “lean” their way. They want their vote.
The Midwest, working-class state is a “must-win” state for Sen. John McCain, and Sen. Barack Obama would like to see it turn blue. Ohio sealed the deal for President Bush in 2004, and Obama’s road to Pennsylvania Ave would be easier with Ohio in the win column.
That’s why I’m in Ohio.
I’ll be watching and waiting here in Columbus to see first hand which way one of the most critical states swings. Both Obama and McCain raced around Ohio this weekend with hopes of luring any remaining undecided voters.
Obama traveled to Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus on Sunday. “We’ve got to want it more,” he told folks gathered at a rally in Cincinnati. Throughout the state, he warned supporters not to become overconfident. And before a crowd of 60,000 in Columbus, he told voters, “Don’t believe for a second that this election is over.” In Cleveland, with rocker Bruce Springsteen, he told a another crowd of 80,000, “We can’t afford to slow down, sit back, or let up for one day, one minute, or one second in these last few days.”
In the final 48 hours, McCain brought some star power of his own on to the Buckeye State. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger appeared with McCain in Columbus at the Nationwide Arena. Schwarzenegger questioned Obama’s readiness to lead and told the crowd of 10,000, “Ladies and gentlemen, I only play an action hero in the movies. John McCain is a real action hero.”
McCain also campaigned in Pennsylvania, another state in the “toss-up” column. McCain would like to turn this blue state red. Democratic nominee Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) carried Pennsylvania in 2004. “My friends, I’ve been in a lot of campaigns. I know when momentum is there,” McCain said in Wallingford, Pa. “We’re going to win Pennsylvania and we’re going to win this election. I sense it, and I feel it, and I know it.”
With some polls saying 6 percent to 8 percent of voters are still undecided, neither candidate can take a break. I know the next 48 hours will feel like the longest since this journey to the White House began some 21 months ago.
VOTE, VOTE…GET OUT AND VOTE !!!!, TAKE THE DAY OFF AND VOTE..YOU WILL GET YOUR JOB BACK, DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE POLICE, THE FBI, OR THE CIA, THEY CANT STOP YOU, TELL YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR ENEMIES, YOUR FAMILIES, YOUR BABY MAMMA(S), IF YOU ARE READING THIS, YOU ARE NOT VOTING, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED, DON’T SLEEP IN ON TUESDAY, DON’T THINK YOU CAN VOTE WEDNESDAY, DON’T GET TIRED OF WAITING SEVERAL HOURS IN LINE, THEY WANT YOU TO GO HOME…JUST VOTE
I almost voted for Barack Obama, until I spent more time reading and learning and thinking. After spending a lot of time googling the following subjects and reading about it all in depth I just couldn’t do vote for him and so voted for McCain. I felt it was the safer choice. Whether or not anyone believes any of the associations as shown in my list of googling topics has any value, is up to y’all. Anyway, what ocurred to me was that if any of those people listed were eligible to vote; just who would they vote for? Not that each of my terms included a person necessarily. It’s just when I started think about who those people on the list would vote for, I just didn’t want to be part of that group. No just only that, but some of the other stuff was scary. Especially the socialist tendencies, that really scared me. Anyway, here’s some of the search terms from my list….
Please vote. Educate yourself and Vote. Vote right.
Here’s some of the terms I chose to research:
obama redistribution
obama global poverty act
obama jim johnshon
obama socialism
obama alwaleed bin talal
obama ayers

Bush “won” Ohio due to voter suppression.
Stupid CAROL PICKET you are also as racist as the SELFIST MACCAIN.But let me tell you no matter what your stupid thinking gives you OBAMA is going to win this election by the special GRACE of god.You think your this kind of foolish tricks will work any more.BY GOD IT IS VERY GOOD to run for your country but only if you are legible to and if you are not mentaly impared you can find it out that MACCAIN is not the one america needs now.for god sake he is an old,foolish,selfish,racist who can only put america into deep problems instead of salvaging us.So think again and decide your future.
Please fellow blacks, you should not be worried on the few racists.There are millions of whites and other races who will rally behind Obama.Similarly no blacks can turn any state blue without the overwhelming white votes.Mind you we are only 11% in total votes countrywide, so if we want Obama to get into the white house by Grace of God is only when the whites come out and vote for him, contrary to that it will be mirage. So lets pray for our white brothers and sisters to come out and vote for their son also.Without that there will be no chance.
Get ready for the great showdown tonight!!!!! Cornbread will be really crying tommorrow!!!!!
i have noticed that the paranoia is setting in already amongst certain black blogs.. warning their fellow black voters of a” white blacklash” if obama wins.. (sigh!) there is sooo much wrong with this, firstly, the chances of a black voter being hounded and bullied for voting for obama are virtually negliable in blue states,, where the overwhelming majority of whites are voting for obama.. 2, blacks are more likely to be attacked by their fellow blacks in black neighbourhoods.. violence is nothing in the englewood type areas but of course thats not the same is it?.3,if it aint broke, why are some of you looking to fix it already?. blacks are too busy , destroying themselves they dont need any outside help.
Carol Picket and anybody else:
I voted right. I voted for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States. Your SILLY list is meaningless and provides no real information for an intelligent person to ponder. I’m not scared of Senator Barack Obama…most smart voters aren’t …I’m scared of the alternative…McCain/Palin!
republican.. dont have any food..??? whats with the “cornbread” hungry..??( what didnt bush bail you out too?. or was that 700million dollars not enough to pay for your copy of playboy?.I hear pale lynn does a mean alaska bake at her kitchen window.!!!. ( as long as you invite the russians in for tea)….she’s good to go….
Republican and david,
If blacks are so stupid then why the hell are republicans in many states trying to throw out our ballots, telling voters in line that the voting will be continued tomorrow and basically doing all manner of distracting behaviors to make us leave the polls without voting? If Senator Obama has no chance of winning in this very racist country (thanks to scum like you two) then why are republicans working so hard ALL over the country to BLOCK OUR VOTE. WHY CAN’T THIS ELECTION BE FAIR???
WHY ARE REPUBLICANS ALWAYS CHEATING DURING ELECTIONS???
COULD IT BE BECAUSE REPUBLICANS CAN NOT WIN THIS ELECTION WITHOUT TRICKERY AND STEALING????
im done talking for now..its time to get down
to buisness.its time.our time.
i want to say its been a pleasure rapping with everyone of you.
DO NOT LET THIS BE THE END OF YOUR ACTIVISM OR
YOUR VOICE!!!
im on my way to Chi town.theres a celebration brewing!!!
but check it.. this is your brother BIG D.transmitting live from the
Ohio battle grounds saying
SEE YOU IN THE END ZONE!!!!
CHAMPAGNE ON ME!!!
