		<description>I think John Edwards should be given a second look.  He really got back in the debate after the &quot;squabbling&quot;.  The other two should just sit down and let John Edwards lead.  Thank you.</description>

		<description>McCain is an idea man....yet he lets the ideas he has get watered down so they are virtually unusable...and calls it a &quot;win&quot; - the only way he will win is if the Dems are dumb enough to run Clinton....(polarize 70% of the country)</description>

		<description>As a viet nam vet too, I&#039;ll give McCain due respect.  At least he has never attacked our military with contrived atrocities like Kerry did.. That being said, he and Kennedy must enjoy wearing the same suit, because not much distinguishes them apart.  John McAmnesty.  Calderon and the mexican congress love this man cause he implies everything that they wanna hear.  Can you imagine the governor of sonora mexico not accepting his own people coming home because he just might have to create some jobs for once.  If McAmnesty and his cronny Calderon can&#039;t create jobs in sonora for illegals, what makes anyone think he could do that here for his own constituents.  Would you wanna stay in Iraq for 20 plus years?

Mitt for responsible economics and immigration</description>

		<description>Even though the war may look better for us, you can not get around the fact that it is costing us dearly. I do not think 100 more years of a trillion-dollar-a-year-war is going to put us in the black, financially, in this country. You can not separate the war from the economy. Bush&#039;s tax cuts and then funding the war through massive deficit spending can not be sustained. McCain may think that he can continue the war by cutting spending across the board on everything else including Social Security and Medicare but that won&#039;t work either. McCain keeps talking about victory in Iraq. What victory? Over what? They do not want us there and the only reason that the terrorists are there is because we are.  And, forget about Iran, we can&#039;t afford war with that country either. Do you think the Chinese, who hold a lot of our debts, are going to allow that? 

No matter what it is the economy but it is also the war. We need to get out of Iraq and direct some of those resources in going after the terrorists where they are and fight it like they fight; guerrilla style. It is time to stop being the world&#039;s army and start asking our allies to start picking up some of the responsibility in this area. We can no longer afford it! I suppose that once we are broke that our allies will have to because it will be the only way that they will be able to fend off the terrorists from attacking them. 

Also, progressive independents out there, if McCain is elected he will be under a lot of polictical payback pressure to nominate a &#039;strict constructionist&#039; for the supreme court when a vacancy comes up on the supreme court. There is a real possibility that this will arise under the next adminstration. He has done a lot of pandering and groveling before the christian right in order to win their support they will want payback. Think.</description>

Mitt is for tax cuts, Obama, Clinton and John McLaim are against tax cuts and want to raise our taxes.

Mitt is for conservative judges, Obama, Clinton and John McLaim are for liberal judges.

		<description>McCain should be shopping &quot;Shady Pines&quot; or some other adult retirement     community.  His ideas are old.  He&#039;s anchored to ted kennedy and the dems on Amnesty.  Has absoultely no economic understanding of jobs plain and simple.
  Dont care for his bomb Iran looney tune either.  He looks old, acts defiant to his base and has more skeletons from his checkerd past than all other candidates combined.   No Thanks.. Not someone this viet vet will support although i do respect his military service.  Other than that...Where&#039;s the beef.</description>

		<description>How can there be any doubt that McCain will win the Repub nom?   

Look at the clowns running against him -  
    silver-spoon-in-his-mouth Romney who can&#039;t see past his checkbook;  

    Huckabee who hides behind his &quot;religion&quot; and brings his kid up to be an   
    animal torturer/killer;  

    slick Guiliani who will expect the taxpayers to support his next mistress, too.</description>

		<description>People are starting to realize they can&#039;t stomach the Clintons, and Obama, for all his smooth talk and rhetoric, is not ready for this office.  Did you watch the debate?  They just keep denying their past, giving lame excuses, and slinging mud back at the other.  Sadly, Edwards is starting to look better.  Can you actually imagine either one of them as president??   McCain is at least honest, and understands the brutal reality of war, so quit portraying him as a &quot;war monger&quot;.  Joe Biden was the only other worthy candidate, so vote for McCain  now.  We can&#039;t let those current Dem bozos into the White House!!</description>

		<description>Chris from Toledo:

Why don&#039;t you go spend a couple of years in a prison camp with little to eat and constant torture.  Then you can come back and talk about being un-American.  I am not Sen. McCain&#039;s biggest fan, but to describe him as un-American is about the most insensitive and ungrateful comment I have ever heard.  You are able to express your opinion in &quot;your&quot; America because Americans like him were willing to sacrifice their comfortable lives here so you can do so. 

Thank you Sen. McCain and all others who serve and have served our country.</description>

		<description>Senator McCain deserves the respect of this land called America whe he has stood up to defend its ideology of Freedom. Anyone who looks down on the men and women in the uniform who are ready for their ultimate sacrifice may want to think again.

I think Senator McCain is the most honest and most respectable candidate.</description>

		<description>The national polls claim McCain is the Republicans best chance to beat a Democratic challenger. WRONG !!!

Those polls count support for McCain among Democrats as well as everybody else. The truth is that the Democrats will vote for the Democrat, not the Republican in November.

McCain is the Democrats favorite Republican. He is to the Republican Party what Joe Lieberman is to the Democrats.

A McCain nomination would negate the largest issue that separates the two parties. It’s the Amnesty Bill of course. That issue will rally the Republican base, and divide the Democrats. The Democrats desperately want that issue silenced this election. It is their Achilles heel. John McCain marches in lockstep with the Democrats pushing for illegal alien amnesty.

The media will pump up McCain at every turn for one reason, and only one reason, to get a Democrat into the White House in 09.

The Democrats would love to face McCain in November. Why do you think they are telling everyone just the opposite? Do you really think they would tell us the truth so they could help their opponents? Get real!!</description>

		<description>MCCain is in this Presidential race for the good of the country and not for the some inner desire of thrill/glamour of becoming a President.   He is a true leader and someone that can work both sides of the aisle to get things done.  The country needs a leader and one that is respected.  We cannot afford otherwise.</description>

		<description>Hillary is strongest on the most important two fronts:  the economy, stupid...and international affairs, terrorism, and international relations.  So, of course she needs to be the one to face McCain, a war hero, also strong on defense.  He&#039;s even called a democrat by his own party.  Good matchup, if you ask me.  She is the only one ready to assume the office tomorrow.  CNN needs to realize this, and adjust accordingly.  Unless you all want a Republican in the White House, that is.</description>

		<description>MCCAIN IS BUILDING HIS ALLIANCES WITHIN THE REPUBLICAN BASE, AND IF FLORIDA GOES HIS WAY I CAN&#039;T SEE WHY HE WOULDN&#039;T BE THE NOMINEE.  HE DOES WELL WITH INDEPENDENT VOTERS, MODERATE DEMS AND NOW THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS ARE STARTING TO BACK HIM,  WITH THIS BEING SAID LET ME ASK YOU THIS.  IS IT POSSIBLE FOR SOMEONE WITH THE POPULARITY OF A JOHN MCCAIN TO LOSE TO SOMEONE THAT COULDN&#039;T MUSTER UP REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDENT VOTES IF SHE PAID FOR IT (HILLARY CLINTON)?  IS THE GOAL OF ALL DEMS TO HAVE THE CANDIDATE WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF WINNING THE WHITE HOUSE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION?  IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE DEM AGENDA HAS BEEN LOST WITH ALL THE  RHETORIC, AND SMEAR TACTICS FROM THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN WHICH IS DIVIDING THE BASE AND GIVING REPUBLICANS AMMO TO USE AGAINST THEM IN NOV.  HILLARY WILL DO ANYTHING TO GET THE NOMINATION AS SHE&#039;S SHOWN THUS FAR, BUT IT WILL BACK FIRE.  I HOPE IT JUST DOESN&#039;T BACK FIRE ON ALL OF US WHO CAN&#039;T IMAGINE HAVING ANOTHER REPUBLICAN LED WHITE HOUSE.....</description>

		<description>Chris from Toledo:

No other candidate has given as much for America as Senator McCain, and the only reason that you can call him un-American and a national security threat so freely is because patriots like John McCain throughout American history have stood up, fought our wars, and defended our freedoms for us.  Try showing some respect to those who have earned it.</description>

		<description>Romney has WAY more delegates than McCain. Let&#039;s wait and see what happens in Florida.

McCain is too eager to ally himself with the Dems to get the Republican vote as the record clearly shows. The Democrats would love McCain as the nominee. That way they get a Democrat in the Whitehouse either way.</description>

		<description>I agree that if Clinton wins, some independents may choose McCain because they decide to vote anti-Hillary.  But I think McCain will have troubles for a while getting his own party behind him since he is not perceived as conservative enough by many republicans on the right.  He has to address those issues first.  Speaking as an independent or moderate voter, I still have not made up my mind on which of the Dem candidates I like -- I was reluctantly impressed with Edwards for the first time tonight.  

The most that I can say about a Mcain-Clinton fight at the finish is that there would be plenty of fireworks in those debates for those who enjoy them; I certainly would find such a debate entertaining.  Both Clinton and McCain can hold their own and would go at each other like two fierce tigers. A McCain-Obama fight? Well Obama has proved he can defend himself, and he could draw some independents away from McCain. Will that be enough if McCain plays the experience card?  Depending on what happens in Iraq between now and November could help decide things....</description>

		<description>McCain is likely to win a debate on National Security in a GOP debate but Hillary will win this debate in the general election. McCain is nothing more than an extension of the Bush/Cheney policy .

&quot;Clinton/Obama&quot; will beat Bush/McCain in 2008, no one wants to go to war with Iran except the neocons. I am sure the Clintons will point this out to the people, just wait and see.  TIME FOR A CHANGE!!</description>

<p>The media will pump up McCain at every turn for one reason, and only one reason, to get a Democrat into the White House in 09.</p>
<p>The Democrats would love to face McCain in November. Why do you think they are telling everyone just the opposite? Do you really think they would tell us the truth so they could help their opponents? Get real.</p>

		<description>I think the &quot;real&quot; Democratic candidate has not yet taken the stage. Yes I agree that McCain is the most likely Republican Presidential candidate and that ultimately he will team up with an economic strongman like Mitt Romney as a VP candidate. 
That combo will give the republicans a big edge over either of the Democratic
candidates.

Hillary suffers from an integrity and trust issues be they real or percieved. She represents the past, with Bill at her side. But she is running for president and not 
Bill - the real issue for her is what role Bill will play if she were to win. These 
two issues are going to create confusion and diminish her appeal and they are easy fror the Republicans to pick off. Furthermore, Hillary will unify the Republican Right Wing coalition - if for no other reason than to crush Hillary.

Obama suffers from a experience issue and has difficulty articulating his 
positions. Obama is emotionally impressive but not persuasive
when disussing the issues in any depth. He&#039;ll be blown out on national security and economics . 

Neither Democratic candidate no matter who they choose as a VP running mate seems to me to present a KO to a Republican McCain/Romney ticket.

If the Democratic calculus results in doubt about either Hillary or Obama beating 
the McCain / Romney combo, I think you will see a floor fight at the convention and they will draft the only candidate who could KO the Republicans - Al Gore.  

Gore could easily team up with Obama - never Hillary - possibly Edwards but more likely Bill Richardson (to bring in the Hispanic vote). Consider a Gore/Richardson or Gore/Obama ticket vs ticket vs McCain/Romney.  That would be a real race.</description>

		<description>This wouldn&#039;t post on another forum topic, but is applicable here after what you said Chris, Toledo, OH:

I lost a lot of respect for McCain when he came out and openly said &quot;Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran.&quot; He isn&#039;t even President yet and already wants to start another war in the middle east. His age doesn&#039;t bother me one bit and I generally have a greater respect for people as they age, but his arrogance and hostility towards other nations does worry me tremendously. I can&#039;t vote for him. I can&#039;t in good conscience hope for America&#039;s safety under John McCain. The best person in time of war is someone who knows how to achieve peace with the least amount of lives lost. When I think of great military leaders becoming our President I think of George Washington. I just can&#039;t imagine those words coming out of Washington&#039;s mouth. Are there no good, honest people in Iran that are worthy to have their lives destroyed by the hostility of one man? Could John McCain answer with a clear conscience on judgment day to their suffering?

Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. You have been warned.</description>

		<description>I think Sen. Clinton may be the least able to beat McCain, as the entire republican party has been stockpiling their armories with anti-Clinton ammunition, so to speak.

The democratic candidates can hope to gain to groups;  the rabid democratic base that would follow the party to an eternal stint in hades if need be, and the in-betweens/independents

The rabids will vote for any democrat, and Edwards or Obama would be better suited to reach the independents, so the choice is clear.</description>

		<description>John McCain is pro war which will cost the American people lives and trillions of dollars. I don&#039;t think Americans want this war to go on any longer.  John McCain will not win any debate on National Security. Part of the reason America&#039;s National Security is worse now is because of the war. Explain the ideology behind pro war and better on National Security.  George W. Bush spoke on the Iraq war with authority and look where that has gotten us. Gun totting is not the way to help our National Security , it is about getting it right and going it right.</description>

		<description>John McCain is no soldier of mine.  He is un-American, and I reject any portrayal of him as anything otherwise.  His strongest issue is national security only when you understand he is a national security threat.  Endless war and militaristic bravado reigns in hell, not in my America.</description>

		<description>There has been a lot of talk about race and gender issues coming out of the Democrat&#039;s trio, but nothing concerning the greatest discrimiation facing all Americans.  AGE DISCRIMINATION!

What is missing on the Democrat&#039;s stage, is a face who can speak about the concerns of seniors, and soon to be senior citizens.

The politician with the most over-all experience, is John McCain.  which is main reason why this senior ex-IBEW member, who was oppressed by organized labor, is voting for the senator from Arizona.</description>

		<description>John McCain the true ambassador of illegal immigration. As a Senator from Arizona for 22 years he has let the illegals pour through the open door of his state. And has done this so employers are able to use them as cheap labor. He in-turn has not raised a finger to stop this onslought or cooperate with this Governor Napolitano. Ask him where in Phoenix and from whom he has been receiving monies for his campaign. These are the folks that hire the illegals that McCain has helped by looking the other way. Do you know this-probably not ,because you don&#039;t live here in Arizona. If he once was a favorite son he is no longer. Ask if his wife&#039;s beer distributing business hires illegals in Phoenix. The Mafia may not have the ties here in Arizona thet they once enjoyed ; we have instead John McCain. He is far from being warm and fuzzy but instead is deeply entrenched in providing cheap labor to his cronies. Another words it will be business as usual if he is elected and he will continue to pander to the illegals. After all as he says, &quot; they are all God&#039;s Children &quot;. Children who are bleeding our social,health and law enforcement communities dry and affecting all the rest of us. Vote well.</description>

		<description>Why is the media afraid of Mitt Romney?  He has the most delegates. He has won the most states with very strong second place finishes in two others.  He definitly has most of Americas popular vote behind him. If Fred Thompson bails out, Mitt would probably gain those votes as well.  How is McCain(someone that has been sitting in the government mess for years) show change.  I actually have not made a solid decision yet, but what really bothers me is the media&#039;s bias on the election.  Let America decide.  So far the vote is going to Romney- no matter how bad you want to ignore him.</description>

		<description>I have to agree with Clinton that she has shown she can come out of many a fight and is still be standing. She stayed focused and looked comfortable for the most part. Obama has not proven that yet and is not proving it in these debates. For someone who is constantly praised for his eloquence and ability to speak Obama sure says uh a lot when it is not scripted. Edwards came across much better than he has in a long time.
  That being said, I am happy about the choses we have for our democratic candidate.</description>

		<description>McCain is just another Sr Senator war veteran who has no winning ideas like Bob Dole was a sr senator war vet in 1996.  Obama/Oprah or the Clintons would have a very big victory against McCain just like Slick did against Dole back in 96.
 
If the people of Florida do not wake up and give Mitt a win that would make the dems and the media very happy indeed.  A vote for McCain or the Huckster is a vote for the Democrats and economic &amp; international failure.

Romney is winning the Republican base.  If anyone undecided will listen with an open mind to Mitt speak, it will only take a few minutes to see that he is brilliant.  The dems and media know that Mitt would crush any liberal socialist on the dem side in a one on one debate. Thus the dems and media are still talking up McCain.</description>
