CNN

Why in the world do CNN newscasters keep refering to John McCain as the front runner. Romney has more wins, more delegates, and is within the margin of error of taking Florida. Gee, no bias here.

Yale gave us a Draft Dodger President, Harvard and Yale gave us a CEO President, maybe we need a Naval Academy Graduate who was taught that liying, cheating and stealing and tolerating those who do are not tolerated, instead of being taught in law school and as an MBA to lie, cheat, and steal! I feel McCain is strong on fiscal issues and national defense ( the dems are all post Viet Nam dems still) but yes I do not agree with him on immigration.

Mike.......................They put a Bush chip in his head.

You know, when you've run for President before and you didn't make it to the nomination, then STOP! Our country didn't want you.
John McCain is now too old for the extremely stressful job of President.
He stated that Putin was the Pres of Germany.
Come on people, he's a great guy and a wonderful hero of his war, but he would NOT be able to beat Hillary or Obama.
He is TOO OLD and they will use that to the NINES!

If McCain is nominated I vote democrat and I ain't one

Birds of a feather flock together.
No surprise here.

That is awesome.

Way to go, John.

John McCain is the Joe Lieberman of the Republican Party.

McCain would take the Republicans best issue off the table.

Its the amnesty issue. McCain will negate that issue that unites the Republicans and divides the Democrats. It is the achillies heel of the Democrat party.

We don;t need two clintons in the White House.

Bill Clinton should shut up.

I'm Black, New Yorker, and a long-time Republican backer. I say McCain-Giuliani in 2008!

I was upset at first with Hillary for showing her desperation to win by going nasty with Obama, but the more they fight in the public is the more I think Americans are seeing the true colors of Hillary Clinton.

This is not an ordinary woman who is the wife of a former President or who is a New York Senator.

This is Satan in the flesh! The woman oozes evil. She is the personification of that which is abhorrent and destructive.

America may not be ready for a Black President, and even if it is ready for a female President, it certainly is not open to Hillary.

Democrat for McCain,

Just become a Republican, and spare us your ignorance.

He's still alive?

Romney is Rock Hudson!

Is it just me, or is Norman Schwarzkopf beginning to look like Willard Scott??

Mccain was a war prisoner he claims torture. but some of the people that were held with him told that he told the enemy every thing that they wanted to know so he could get special privligeles. go to google and look it up you might be suprized.

I'd love to know the age of those wits who dismiss General Schwartzkopf's endorsement of Senator McCain as some kind of septugenerian cabal.

Point one...General Schwartzkopf had a long, distinguished military career that gives his opinion credence.

Point two...no one in General Schwartzkopf's position endorses a presidential candidate without great thought.

Point three...do you have the same objections about Wesley Clark endorsing Hillary?

I like Gen Swarzkopf, but I don't agree with him on this backing, they are just old military friends trying to make one last hurrah.

Go Romney

I'm sticking with Romney.

JAMES–You sound like you have not studied the issues, but you are copying what the Libs are saying about Mitt. Please be smart enough to do the research. Mitt Romney was sucessful with a democratic majority in his state. He was so aggressive with cutting taxes that he made the democrats he worked with angry. By the way he balanced his state budget every year without raising taxes. The only thing he has changed on is abortion. He believed in one thing, but as governor when it came down to it, he voted on the side of life. A move that earned him the label of flip flopper. As more and more people actually learn about Romney, the less they call names and the more they respect who he actually is.

As far as McCain beating Hillary, McCain has not received the republican base in a single race. He is getting more support from the independents. McCain is way too liberal to have the support of the Republicans. If you will check the numbers you will see that there are more Republicans voting for Mitt than any other candidate. Romney is a true conservative. Don’t be swept up in the media created idea that McCain is the only way to beat the Dems. McCain is so close to a Democrat that you have to blur your eyes to not notice it.

Don’t be so easily fooled. Vote Romney.

Just another old guy supporting an old guy...

Electing McCain is not "paying a veteran back", it's allowing him to provide US with a great service. His leadership and integrity is unparalleled among the candidates!! Not to mention he is by far the strongest candidate to send to the general election!

McCain '08!

There are a great many good things to be said for and about John McCain. I just don't see him as head of state. Perhaps in the European sense (figurehead elder statesman), but not as a hands-on visionary-manager. Not saying the country would go to pot with him, just probably would be a caretaker administration until the GOP gets its act together.

I'm not ga-ga about Romney either. I'll give him credit for a great many positive things in his life and career. I'm not sure he has a firm worldview. It's one thing to not be a rabid idealogue, but I'd still like to see a little conviction, a little philosophy, a little abstraction in a leader. 100% pragmatism is ok for the short-term.

Forget Ron Paul, he's playing a spoiler role in this campaign.

So that leaves Huckabee and Giuliani. Both coudn't be more different in many ways, but both share something in common: proven executive leadership. I'd be proud to vote for either (first preference to Rudy).

Too bad Stormin' Norman isn't running for president!

Doesn't anyone care that this man cheated on his wife and doesn't have the decency to go to church??

"Wake up Republicans – remember where Bob Dole got us? 'Paying back' a veteran got us eight years of Clintons while setting the stage for another eight. "

Well for starters, Bob Dole's run was followed by only four years of Clintons. And for finishers just look at the polls! McCain polls better against Clinton/Obama than any other Republican nominee. So if beating Clinton is your sole concern, then McCain's your man!

Of course, he hates free specch (McCain-Feingold)... but that's another story.

McCain needs some backing. His tax plan and Giuliani"s are the same old crap!

Besides Ron Paul who has the best plan, Huckabee's tax plan will make sure everyone pays when they purchase products. Goodbye income tax and we need to start getting rid of the property tax also.

I am reminded of one of the Little House on the Prairie shows where Michael Landon and his neighbors have lined up in front of some home or office in town to pay their property taxes. They were all upset at the government charging them tax on their own property but they were not fighting it due to the socialist argument about supporting the school systems, etc. Landon laughed and said, "Heck, after this they will probably want to tax you on your income." Yea, who is laughing now?

Stop the big central government now. Vote Ron Paul (if the media will let you)

Vote Romney, help the Dems! The Republican Dukasis lives!

I just love this, McCain is the best option for independents and democrats who are disgusted with the idea of a Clinton nomination and Republicans better wisen up to that fact if they do not want to see Clinton back in the white house. Romney appeals only to the mean spirited fiscal conservatives who will put money before everythng and will not get the support of a very crucial base of the republican party the Christian conservatives who do not trust his commitent to pro life and gay marriage even if the overlook the mormon thing. He also will not do well with the independents who will not fall for his ever changing position from CEO to labor leader.

Just imagine all the votes Huckabee is getting and think what would happen if all those people are alienated, that's how Clinton got into power in the first instance.

Amen to the many people here who make the very astute observation that endorsements from military commanders may help McAmnesty's chances in the nomination process, but only further erode his chances to win in the general election. Mechelle is right. With 60% of the country bitter over the war, pinning your candidacy on the Iraq war is no way to win the general election.

We don't have to flock to McAmnesty simply because the media would have us do so. We have a great candidate in Mitt Romney – a proven leader with an impeccable resume of results.

It's because they're both very old!!!

Mcpain is guaranteed to loose to the Dems.

@ James:
I KNEW there was something fishy about Mitt's populistic rhetoric in Michigan. The "fiscal conservative" who promises jobs...

The only reason why I hope McCain wins Florida is because I hate Romney. But I also hate McCain. At this point, Romney seems to be in first place and another McCain win would drop Romney's momentum, preventing a front runner from arising. I say let McCain, Romney, and Huckabee knock eachother down. Wait for the real Republican to rise up! Of course, I am really looking forward to a Giuliani loss in Florida! Huckabee and Paul are the only candidates not running for George W. Bush's third term.

Given the fact that Mitt is pandering for expensive cat insurance in Florida, though FEMA already exists, I wonder how he is proposing to pay for this sinkhole?

I'm not wild about any of the candidates! Now what do I do? I think I'll take two smart people working (hopefully) for our country's good....No more brainless politicians who have humiliated our good name...for the sake of O I L and money in THEIR pockets.....

No surprise on the endorsement. But the media favorite McCain gets any little bit of information publicized.

Great! Here goes the GOP chances of winning in November. This kind of endorsement will sink us! We must distance ourselves from anyone who is pro war.

These men have served valiantly, but this kind of endorsement wreaks of bias and does not play well when 60% of our country is bitter about the Iraq war.

I can only hope FL and NY voters will say NO TO MCCAIN!!

Am supporter of Romney but the way things go this time its likely hillary will win.I think John mccain will beat her heavily in november.I think Mccain should be given a chance.We cant afford more 8 years of Clinton it was hell.

Vote fo Mitt for the right change!!!!

McLaim, Hillary and Obama all Liberals.

If you look at McLaims voting record it looks very similar to Hillary and Obama.

Vote fo Mitt for the right change!!!!

A vote vor McLaim, Hillary or Obama is just more of the same!

Vote fo Mitt for the right change!!!!

Hillary 2008!

MCCain/Schwarzkopf 2008!!!

Now there's a shocker. I just might die from how surprising this story is.

VOTE for the Democratic candidate.

Just look at what a Republican administration has done to our country in 8 years!

We need some common sense back in the White House.

McCain = GW Bush x 10

I like John McCain but he is in bed with too many Democrats. He will dilute his strong positions by trying to be an independent maverick. Guiliani will use his compstat mindset and turn around this country. He will get certified results on the border as well.

Who cares?

VOTE for the Democratic candidate.

Just look at what a Republican administration has done to our country in years!

We need some common sense back in the White House.

McCain = GW Bush x 10

SchwarzWHO. What do you get when you have one old fossil endorsing another old fossil?

DUST!

McCain would be a terrible president. Besides his pro-war stance, he is basically a liberal on every other conservative issue.

Romney is the only chance for the Republican Party. He is gaining momentum and will win Florida next week!

Vote Romney! Vote Change! Vote brighter future!

It's the ECONOMY stupid. Economin stability is the #1 issue on people's minds – not war. Everything hinges on the economy. We cannot win the war if we don't fix our economy.

Mitt this, Mitt that. Mitt is for everything. That's true, he's been for everything over the years. For abortion, against abortion, for tax increases, against tax increases. He has the well-coiffed, slick appeal that we had to deal with in Clinton for 8 years. Wait till Mitt has to deal with a Democrat Congress. Will he maintain the same positions then or acquiesce to appease the desire to 'get something done.' Most recently, Mitt said he'd fix Michigan's economy, when it's his very business mentality that led to job losses. I'm not even saying that is totally bad, as you try to cut labor costs to keep profits so the company doesn't fold. However, you can't be pro-business, then promise to be pro-labor at the same time. If you are not true to yourself, how can you be true to anyone else?

what a shocker...a war hero supporting a war hero. Darn, I bet Giuliani and Romney are really disappointed they didn't get his endorsement. Who cares, really? Isn't this what you'd expect? Without a strong economy and fiscal discipline, you have no means to even fight a war. So let's get someone in office that understands how to strengthen the US economy so we can support our goals of being a military powerhouse. Romney 08!

I know John McCain was a veteran, I heard he was in a POW camp.

But tell me why he has resisted every effort to secure the border, even though he is a sentor of Arizona, one of the states hit hardest by illegal immigration. Tell me why he favors outsourcing of our jobs overseas. Tell me why he has done nothing about big oil raking in record profits, while oil is $100 a barrel and we're paying through the nose for gas. Tell me why he has backed George Bush on every issue.

Tell me why I should even think of voting for John McCain – and I'm a Democrat looking for any option except Hillary Clinton.

I respect Norman Schwarzkopf for his work in Desert Storm and other military campaigns. If this were a race for Secretary of Defense, then this would go along way. Just being able to lead the military and being a part of it at one point isn't enough for most people (at least it shouldn't be the only thing that people consider).

I'd like to know where Schwarzkopf has been. Did he speak out in favor or against the war when it was proposed? How about the "surge" that McCain likes so much, where does Schwarzkopf stand on that issue? This statement is so minimal that it begs too many other questions.

the war mongerers stick together. I'm sure ol' Norman wants us to bomb Iran, too.

Schwarzkopf, do you want a 100 year war?

I really expected a lot more from a service man, but like McInsane, he must have gone senile.

Ross Perot handed Pres Clinton the election his first run, and took votes from Dole in 96' as well. the 92' election was all about Perot, the 96' election was running against an incumbant president (stacked against the opponent to start).

Had little to do with Dole's service or "Payback", lol.

its the economy, taxes and taking home more of your money. It's not the war or national security. Sorry McAmnesty.. I don't trust you or your non existant fiscal resume' . From one viet vet to another..
Mitt for responsible economics and immigration

Oh boy…more of his one-trick dog and pony show.

Again, thank you for your Vietnam service but that alone does not qualify you to be the President.

Wake up Republicans – remember where Bob Dole got us? "Paying back" a veteran got us eight years of Clintons while setting the stage for another eight. Please, please, please we don't want to go through that again.
