The story i chose is on in just two days, most polls show Barack Obama ahead of John McCain and you can read more on http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27483362/. With just two days to go, most national polls show Obama ahead of McCain, and state surveys suggest the Democrat's 270 electoral votes and maybe more is much easier to navigate than McCain's.The polls show the six closest states are Florida, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Nevada and Ohio all won by Bush and made competitive by Obama's record-shattering fundraising. the only thing now is to go out Tuesday and vote if it hasn't already been done. About 27 million absentee and early votes were cast in 30 states as of Saturday night that is way more than ever. The Democrats outnumbered Republicans in pre-Election Day voting in key states. That has Democrats and even some Republicans privately questioning whether McCain can overtake Obama. But now McCain and the RNC dramatically ramped up their spending in the campaign's final days and now are matching Obama ad for ad, if not exceeding him, in key battleground markets in states such as Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
This article wasn't bias to me i think it was going off statistics and they are pretty straight forward. I think the information is all there but it never said how McCain got his money. My opinion is i cant wait for the new president to win and makes changes and election day is almost here. I just want to know where he got the money from. Its important and affects me because this is going to help me see who my next president is.

Obama's money comes from donations. McCain's money comes from the government fund (which most presidential candidates use--Obama declined this money in favor of raising more money through donations).
You say statistics are straight forward. I understand why you think this: it seems like numbers can't "lie." However, statistics are often tweaked and based on how questions are worded, the statistics can show very different things.
i agree that the statistics are straight forward and the article isn't bias at all
