<p>Endorsements for Barack Obama continue to pour in as Alaska Daily News and Financial Times add their names to the ever growing list.   However, with all this support it is worrisome as to whether people will be complacent about voting believing it is in the bag for Barack Obama.   Peggy Noonan warns of a McCain upset, and Barack Obama keeps reminding voters to remember that cold day in New Hampshire when Hillary Clinton added a little too much starch to his boxers.  Meanwhile, CNN is reporting that Sarah Palin has gone rogue on the McCain campaign, and is now ushering in her own 2012 agenda.   9 days and counting! </p>
