Obama-Biden campaign leads with early voters
Friday, October 31, 2008 at 11:45AM
The Obama-Biden campaign today announced a very confident and committed position in the presidential election. With several million volunteers around the country. the Obama-Biden campaign manager, David Plouffe, said “we like what we’re seeing in all the states with the early vote.”
Today the campaign released two 30 second TV ads in Arizona, North Dakota and Georgia. Plouffe said that even though the McCain-Palin campaign has criticized the Obama-Biden campaign about heavy advertising, “the McCain spending levels this week have been quite high. In the Tampa market, they’re spending over 5,000 points of television, which may be the most amount of television ever bought in a political race.”
Through advertising, voter contact, and resources, Plouffe said he feels the Obama-Biden campaign is doing everything they need to do in the swing-states. Plouffe also said the campaign is organizing polling information at popular locations that youths hang out at in the swing states.
Plouffe said that in the tossup state of Nevada, 43% of democrats voting early are new or sporadic. In North Carolina, 19% of democrats voting early never voted in an election before. In Florida, 1/4 of sporadic voting democrats have voted early. Plouffe said the campaign is putting special focus on voters who recently committed to Obama, because they’re known as “sticky” and still vulnerable to vote for McCain. Even though the campaign feels confident in their state of the race, Plouffe said this does not take away from “the fierce urgency of trying to win Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida, and Ohio.”

I am a obama suporter then I asked myself these questions
why are his college transcripts sealed what is he hiding
why did he support rev wright for 20 years and lie about not hearing what he said
why did he lie about his relationship with ayers (the McVeay of the 60's)
congress has a 9% approval rating why would we give them more power
3 trillion in new spending there is no way that only people making tow hundred and fifty thousand a year wwill cover that
why did he tell joe the plumber that he wants to spread the wealth aroundnew taxes do not create jobs the middle class does not create jobs why is the media shoving him down our throAT
Rick, I have a news flash for you. You are no Obama supporter and you have never been one. You are a lying neocon. Yes, that's what you are.
rick...i dont understand...you are a obama suporter even though you understand the facts you are staying? what are you saying, do you support lies and dishonesty? i am confused...are you or aren't you? you see how wrong he is but you still giving him your vote???????? i bet you are not among the ones tht have to work the welfare people of obama and that you are not a soldier who has to defend the constitution but won be able to live to it...a soldier that under obama would have to fight for what we have been defending from all these years...this is ridiculous and if obama gets elected, American will suffer...unfortunally the obama voters will also touch bottom...and, no one can say obama lie...obama is being clear in letting record of his dishonesty and his lack of loyalty to us and to our nation...i personally, considerate any one who votes for obama, a person who voted against my family interest, against my values and someone who is putting my husband in harms way...we have been in the service for 32 years and this is our 4th tour, if senator obama gets elected, we are out of here all together...under senator obama i will never support the economy i will never serve...God Bless America!
I DONT LIKE OBAMA HES JUST A BAD PERSON!!!!!!!!!!1
