I want to focus on the part of this interview where they talked about voter suppression, and voter registration fraud. Both men recognized that this was going on for both parties, but it wasn't them, it's independent groups doing it for their self-interest. This makes me almost sick to my stomach. It's very unfair to both candidates, and takes a huge crap on what our founding fathers set up in The Constitution, doing this defeats the purpose of having a democracy. All people are sovereign, and thus, should have the power to decide who will lead them. If to many lawsuits occur on election day, then we may have to wait a very long time to see who our new president will be. I feel like doing this can only hurt a candidates chances of winning because it makes the party look bad. All Americans should be allowed to cast a ballot if they feel moved to.

Down To The Wire
McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, is very proud to be by McCain's side right now. He sees McCain making an epic comeback, even though he is down in the polls. It was said that McCain is closing in, and Obama is losing a little bit of ground. The polls show McCain down within the margin of error, so they are somewhat unreliable as of now. Davis seems confident that McCain can win in Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada, where the race is fairly even right now. He says the state to watch will be Pennsylvania, a Republican hasn't won here in a long time, but he feels they are doing very well here. The last part of this interview talked about what they are doing in these last moments with money. The question was if they were spending more on advertisement, or the get-out-the-vote program. Davis says that a ton of money has been pumped into the get-out-the-vote program, and some in advertisement.
