Today, the American people will cast the final verdict on the last eight years of disastrous Bush policies. Today, we elect Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.
The leaders chosen to serve in Washington will make decisions that will impact the lives of you and your family during this time national economic uncertainty, and re-set the moral compass of our nation to be a source for healing and leadership in the world.
Over the last several months, Marylanders have made their way into our neighboring battleground states, on which the result of this election may very well rest. But we also take nothing for granted here in Maryland. We'll spend Election Day out at the polls throughout Maryland, encouraging voters to cast their ballot for change, and a new direction for America.
As you make your way to the polls this morning, be sure to bring your neighbor or family member so all eligible Marylanders participate in freedom's greatest privilege.
And while you're there, be sure to vote yes on Questions 1 and 2. Marylanders have a unique opportunity to affirm our commitment to open and accessible elections by voting for Question 1: Early Voting. Similarly, voters in Maryland can reaffirm our commitment to our future, by approving more than $660 million in slots revenue for our schools.
We hope to see you out at the polls today. Later tonight, as the results come in, join us at Bourbon Street Live, 316 Guilford Avenue in Baltimore, to celebrate victory!

Today, we've crisscrossed Philadelphia meeting enormous crowds of excited supporters ready to change the direction of our nation, and elect Senator Obama the next President of the United States.
After stops at area colleges and universities, including Temple, La Salle, and St. Joseph's, where literally thousands of students have showed their enthusiasm for Senator Obama, we're on to more Philadelphia area events this evening. The excitement here is hard to put into words - so many students, parents, and working families eager for a new direction, and new leadership to take us there.
Tomorrow night will be an evening to remember, as this historic election culminates with the selection of Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States.
We're going late into the night tonight, to make sure every last undecided voter hears our message, and that every last Obama supporter makes it to the polls tomorrow.

This week, the American people will make history, and cast the final verdict on eight disastrous years of Bush policy. This morning, we're spending the final hours before Election Day with Governor Rendell of Pennsylvania and many other enthusiastic volunteers and supporters, as we embark on a "Get Out the Vote" Bus Tour throughout the neighborhoods and suburbs of Philadelphia.
I'm looking forward to the crowds of enthusiastic Obama supporters that we've become accustomed to in the last several weeks.
Pennsylvania could very well be ground zero of the 2008 Presidential election, as many inside the McCain campaign have quietly admitted that the Presidency can't be won for them without carrying Pennsylvania. Marylanders have done their part to ensure an Obama victory here by loading busloads of volunteers to knock on doors in PA throughout the past several weeks.
And believe me, they've noticed! At every turn, we're greeted by thankful organizers, appreciative of the efforts that Maryland volunteers have contributed to winning Pennsylvania for Senator Obama.
The effects of the nation's economic hardship are hitting Maryland hard. We're fighting every day to protect Maryland’s families during these tough economic times. We’re also working every day to make sure that government and its programs work for people.
