Pennsylvania a key battleground in US election - 28 Oct 08

It is no coincidence that Barack Obama and John McCain are in Pennsylvania just days before the US presidential election - the state is considered one of the few remaining battlegrounds for voter loyalty.

Although polls that indicate Obama, a Democrat, has a comfortable lead in the state, McCain, his Republican challenger, remains confident of his chances. Seb Walker looks at the fight for Pennsylvania.

How could Hillary Clinton supporters disagree with Obama if she basically a carbon copy of him in terms of policy? ITS RACE!

[WilliamHBonney55]

Please go out and vote.

I am Canadian and I am not happy that few went out to vote in our election.

People fought and died so that we could vote.

The world is watching.Don't let us down.

Don't make excuses.

Some of you may have a hard time with change.

I understand that. I love smoking cigarettes.

I tend to deny the harmful effects of smoking despite the fact that my dad got cancer twice and had to be operated on.The fact that some of us do not like change doesn't mean that change has not happened.People do not except tobacco and it's harmful effects.People do not except drinking and driving anymore.People do not except racial hate and bigotry.Get used to it.Times have changed for the better.

I cannot believe that you people still talk about racist idea's in this day and age.Things have changed.I grew up learning and telling lots of racial jokes.I refuse to tell my children those joke I learned.I tell my children that they can marry anyone they want when they grow up as long as they chose Christian girls to marry.Race is not the issue.What is the issue is who is Obama and what will he do different then Bush?How will he treat Canada and other nations?

[SSWinterberg]

Oh really? What would you be saying if McCain attended KKK ralies? I mean by your standards just because he listened to their Hate speaches doesn't mean he belives the same way...right?

Get real..we all know why Obama was a member of Jeremiah Writes church for 20 years, he liked the messages he was hearing. Chicago is a big place if he didn't feel the same way he could have easily found another place of worship.
