What rumors are you talking about? Dumb question.

If someone hasn't made up their mind by now, they are either ignorant, apathetic or have been living in a case for the past two years.

I hope not. The rumor mill is stuffed with last ditch lies.

From the Republicans, more lies - let's call them what they are.

I'd be surprised if gossip affected the outcome to any meaningful extent given the gravity of our circumstances.

After the last two elections having been decided questionably and unscrupulously, I wouldn't be surprised at anything that turns up.

Most voters have had a long time, starting with the primaries, to digest the load of information on the issues involved.

    Rumors are the only prayer McCain/Palin have been going for. People are seeing right through their lies and hypocracy.

    I don't think rumors will change the outcome but I do belive they have an effect. How often do we still here about Obama being a muslim?

    I hope the American people are more intelligent than to let wild rumors dictate their votes.

      Looking at Obama's RECORD- what we have heard is not rumors, but truth. Redistribution of wealth is a major theme in the Communist Manifest

        doesn't it always? By the end of 2004 John Kerry had never even been to Vietnam.

          Although there are quite a few Republicans who believe their own rumors. The intelligent people will vote for Obama/Biden.

          The fact is over half the country is voting for Obama. People are paying attention. We know the truth. Vote!, Vote!, Vote!

          The issues are much more serious to think about than rumors, since rumors at this point amount to an attack, most probably against Barack.

          Minds are pretty much made up at this point; a rumor may only push the person in the direction they were leaning.

          By now most people know who they are voting for.....it time for change and a 72 year old man thats out of touch is not what we need.

            I think most voters have seen through all this. $150,000 for clothes, make up and the rest. McCain blew it when he turned into Bush.

              I don't think the rumors will change the outcome, but it is sickening that so many of them have spread like wildfire.
