Senator Barack Obama putting ads back up in Georgia

Tools

ATLANTA (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama is putting television ads
back up on the air in Georgia.

Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said Friday ``early vote is
going extremely well in Georgia.''

In September, the Obama camp took down its ads and moved some
paid staff out of Georgia suggesting it was retreating from its pledge to compete in the reliably Republican state.

But new polls have suggested Obama is close to GOP candidate John McCain in the state. And blacks have turned out in disproportionately high numbers for early voting.

Plouffe said the state is winnable, although any victory would
be a narrow one.

I like the ideals that Obama has presented and i do agree we need a change and a new chance in our govt but i don't believe he is the one to bring it- and its not because of race or lack of conviction on his part. I just don't feel his experiences up to this point is enough to be the strong leader America needs - He's too inexperienced right now to put his agenda thru and let's face it - Holding the highest office in the land is not where he should start cutting his teeth as a leader...

Can't wait til Tuesday when our nation proves that all people are not racist. All the people I have come across that are voting for McCain, their #1 reason is that they aren't putting a black man in the white house. It's 2008 people!! And since when does the color of a person's skin represent his intelligence and ability to run a country. I'm appalled by all the small-minded idiots in Georgia, and I am so glad I'm not one of them!

Is time you talk more about developing your country than talking about persinification How can this present economy crisis be solve. You should all pray to God for wisdom to who so ever wins the election and bringing in the Anti Christ Issue. More to it, Anti, Christ will not come from USA but from Rome. Rome is the only country surrounded by 7 mountains and having a crown with gold. So expect the best or anti christ from Rome. Have that clear and you should help to build your country. Titus

I don't think Barack Obama will be a bad choice for President; quite the contrary, so let's stop hesitating and debating and mostly false labeling someone without having concrete evidence of what we're saying is true...and if you're bold enough to write it then you need be bold enough to put your name on it! No one is ashamed of the truth nor afraid of it but it's the unknown that folk are skeptical about. I implore Americans to cast your vote for Barack Obama it's time for change!

Anonymous, you are the ultimate bigot! And you obviously have not read your Bible! The prophecy says no such thing and if you read it instead of the chain email you got your info from, you'd realize that Islam didn't even exist at time the prophecy was written. By the way, if you read the texts about the Anti-Christ you will find a description much more like Bush or Palin than Obama. Try using some reality to make decisions rather than blind accaptence of whatever your "Christian" sources say!

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40's, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, he will destroy everything. And Now: For the award winning Act of Stupidity Of all times the People of America want to elect, to the most Powerful position on the face of the Planet -- The Presidency

I pray Americans understand what happens if we elect Obama. God help us. I don't understand how anyone could vote for a man who has ANY connections to Islam.

If McCain wins, he knows that he will not run for 2nd term but he will get a presidential retirement so he really doesn't need to do anything about our economy. Obama on the other hand is young and has a lot of energy and will want to return for a 2nd term and more than likely do everything he possibly can in his first 4 years. If McCain wins and can't finish his term having Palin in charge is possible and that's very scarey. That's a risk we shouldn't take.
