As always this is not how I will vote but it is a predication. In fact on most of these I more then likely will not be voting for many of these people.
President:
At this point I have to give the edge to Obama ( God help us all.). I hope things will change but not sure they will. Well most polls have McCain down by 2-4% points one ultra liberal poll has Obama up by 14%. The race will be much closer then that.
I think McCain is in better shape then some think he is. Yet yes I do believe he is behind in the polls. I am one that does not think much of polls and believes the only poll that matters is the one in November.
The media has played a huge roll in this election and it has been very pro Obama. He has gained there support. Now as far as media I think one of two things. News outlets should either not be allowed to have a political leaning or they should have to say what it is up front.
Predication: As of now
Obama
U.S. Senate race:
I also am in in the believe that this race will be close. There was a time that Al Franken was way down and it did not look like he could rebound http://duluthpolitics.blogspot.com/2008/08/sinking-ship-that-is-al-franken.html. Now polls show the race to close to call with some polls having Coleman up and yet others have Franken up by just points either way.
Well Dean Barkley will and has played a roll in this election. Lets be clear he will not win. Barkley a former U.S Senator (appointed) not elected has run a strong campaign. Barkley seems to be taking more support away from Coleman then Franken.
"Negative" campaigning has also seemed to hurt Coleman more well both candidates are doing the same amount. I have said a few times that Coleman should focus on the issues and if he does so I think he would win http://duluthpolitics.blogspot.com/2008/09/coleman-and-franken.html.
Predication: As of now
To close to call, I think however Barkley will be in 20% range or so.

God help us if Obama actually wins this thing! I know some Obama supporters and I can't get a single one of them to tell me why they have so much faith that their candidate can actually save this country. They seem to be basing their vote on what he says he can do rather than what he's ever accomplished.
Yes, I'm concerned greatly about his socialist policies and more concerned about the fact that he's not hiding his agenda and people still want to vote for him. My niece even told me, "Socialism isn't all that bad." And she is actually an educated person. I just don't get it.
I'm only left with the supposition that they are voting for BHO because he isn't George Bush. And they want change. I hope it's the change they were hoping for when he taxes this country into ruination.
Pat:
I agree with you 100%. I hope that Obama does not win. I just have a very bad feeling about the whole thing.
I have always been a McCain supporter and hope that people see threw Obama.
Ok...here's why I am voting for Obama.
He will get us out of Iraq.
He will talk with other leaders in the world, even those we currently refuse to talk to. (I do not believe in our current system of not talking to countries we don't like. The current foreign policy is crap!)
He supports a woman's right to choose. (how is killing people in another country during war pro-life?)
He will work to bring back regulation to the financial markets. I also believe in the working class, and that the economy must be built from the bottom up...trickle down isn't working. The free market is not working and we must take a governmental role in making sure the market is working for all Americans.
He will give tax cuts to businesses who create jobs in America, and not give cuts to companies who send jobs to other countries.
He is the only candidate that I heard mention during the debates that we need to reduce our wasteful use of oil and energy resources as well as invest in new energy technology.
I have faith in him because he has a clear and consistant message and it is a message that I want to hear.
I respect your choice of candidate and hope that you respect mine.
So, there you have it, thanks
