C'mon Steve,lets keep the war going 100 years....

So start with a loser end with a loser.

It is amazing to me that just like this blog how McCain is being appointed the nominee in the MSM. If you are so disenfranchised by the thought of a Clinton/Mc
Cain choice for the presidency then act now and vote for Romney who can with your help overcome the Republican old boy (and I mean old) establishment and bring honest change. Many I have spoken with when faced with a McCain versus Clinton option are very torn because of the vehement distaste for either candidate. I have been told by staunch republicans that they would vote for Obama before McCain (I am considering it myself)! Let's not just "change the chairs" in Washington and expect new results. My vote is for Mitt Romney!

Shawn is completely and utterly wrong.

Forbes drafted a plan for a 30% tax cut in New Jersey with Whitman.

Major issues Forbes supports include free trade, health savings accounts, and allowing people to opt out 75% of Social Security payroll taxes into Personal Retirement Accounts (PRAs). He supports traditional Republican Party policies such as downsizing government agencies to balance the budget, opposition to pollution control, opposition to gun control and drug legalization, tough crime laws and support for the death penalty, and school vouchers. In terms of foreign policy, he called for a "US not UN foreign policy". He is adamantly opposed to abortion and supports prayer in schools.

Steve Forbes is a pretty smart guy. He was a bit offbeat to win his own campaign years ago, but his endorsement is a valuable addition to the other who have been lining up behind McCain.

Steve clearly sees the need for Republicans to rally behind an emerging leader. The November election will be challenging enough without division in our party. McCain was not my original choice either, but he is an outstanding national leader and I am supporting him now. Go John!

Well now we know what the boys at the yacht club are thinking.

Who cares?

If it were Steve Jobs, then that would be news.

Steve Forbes a liberal? This man wanted a 10% flat tax. That's hardly a liberal idea. Some say it's even regressive.

If Hillary gets the nomination.... then I'll be forced to vote Republican!!! Anyone but another Clinton!

Hillary will win in November. Our party better remember how the last 2 democratic presidents (Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton) were elected. It was not with just the left of the democratic party. You must get the base of the party plus.
Moveon.org will not play good in the fall. John McCain, laugh all you want to, will be an incredibly formidable opponent in the fall. Hillary is our best bet by far.

JohnS-
You have posted the same cut and paste in every thread on this blog. We understand your opinion you've stated it well and it was understandable so you don't need to keep posting it. Thanks.

Oh man – this is tough news for Romney! Now that they know what Steve Forbes thinks, tens of millions of other billionaires will decide to vote for McCain!

McCain keeps getting more and more liberal endorsements.

If John McCain was "conservative", why would the New York Times endorse him? Why did he ask John Kerry if he could join his Democratic ticket in 2004 as VP. Why did he consider leaving the party and become an independent in 2001 after losing the Republican Primary? Why did he say Justice Alito was not as desirable as John Roberts because Alito "worse his conservatism on his sleeve"? These things are all true and well-documented by independent sources. Google them.

So Steve Forbes endorses McCain.

Who asked him to endorse anyone? Why is he a "chosen one" to be an endorser? What is the criteria to "endorse" someone?

I endorse Hillary Clinton. And if she doesn't become the nominee,
I endorse Barack Obama. And if he doesn't become the nominee,

Uh oh, no one else to chose from.

My original choice was John Edwards. When Oregon finally has its primary in MAY (yes, 2008), I am going to write in John Edwards.

It is not democratic to have multitudes of primaries whereby people drop out so the rest of us can't vote for them.

We have two Dems now and apparently one will be the final nominee. Chosen by a small handful of Americans–actually two states weren't even involved....Florida and which-ever-it-was...Michigan?

Sooo undemocratic.

All I can say is I don't care who, or how many so called important people endorse McCain, I sure hope people are too inteligent to vote for him. A vote for McCain is avote for another George Bush. McCain should always be honored for his service to his country, but that's as far as it goes. Bush campaign totaly disgraced themselves, while trying to smear McCain, and then McCain becomes Bushs' " Lap Dog " ,the second term and even campaignes for him. Mcain will keep us in Iraq, as he said," Till We Win." I think long ago it became unwinnable. We should never have gone there in the first place. I think McCain will be oh so easily led into war, by"The Powers That Be." "War is good for corporate America, and we all know they are ruling our country. "If Mother Teresa were alive, and she endorsed John McCain, I still wouldn't vote for him. I 'm voting for the" Best Man For The Job," Ron Paul. He's scary and very threatening to "The Powers That Be,",because he is telling Americans the truth. All the monopoly money in the world, printed up by The Federal Reserve Bank won't fix the economy. "We're headed for a DEPRESSION, NOT, a recession. People have lost their jobs, their homes, their selfrespect, because now most Americans can no longer support themselves or their families.

O.K who is she

steve forbes should stick his head in the sand. how can this economic giant support someone who is going to continue policies that got our economy in the toilet. Used to like Forbes now i know he is just a partisan escort.

Seems like there are always people that make lots of money when there is a war. So why should any already rich person not throw in for some one that has offered to fight a war for 100 years?

Another liberal endorsement, what a surprise.

How interesting this is getting, only because Hillary is in this campaign-

SOME OF THE DEMS, like the Clintons, NEVER LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES!!!

I really believe that it is going to take the active support of Hillary for the DEMS to lose the White House again; Remember Gore and Kerry? How short minded can the Dems really be in this nation. Gore and Kerry (each a stronger candidate than Hillary) were the "accidents" of the Clintons– The Dems lost each time!!!!!

Currently, the Dems are celebrating the "huge number of voters" out there for them because of the Independents (like myself), moderate Republicans, and young voters that have been brought onboard by Obama. Let us wait until the Dems put up Hillary as the nominee and the "voting pool" will run dry!!

This is yours Dems to lose again; it always takes the Clintons for the Dems to lose the White House or to deal with issues of moral corruptions!!!

WISE and Intelligent Dems should simply stay AWAY from the Clintons; they are the source of "curse" for the Dems!!!!

No Clinton, not even Bill, can ever restore the ECONOMIC fortunes of the past; the conditions of the past (e.g., Internet bubble) that made that happen are simply NOT there today. The Clintons burnt their bridges BEFORE thet left (in disgrace), the White House!!! And guess what? Hillary has been making stronger enemies since!

Why doesn't CNN just announce they are supporting HiLLary? Wolf's action last night were horrible!!! He lets hil talk for an "hour" then when Obama speaks up wolf interupts him. I don't know who comes up with those questions but wolf must have some control, why does n't he ask sensible questions like the LA times guy?
If Wolf has control of those questions He should be fired!! There used to be an old adage that there's no such thing as a dumb question– Wolf has proven that its not true.

Ann Coulter for Clinton? I find that unbelievable. I guess the country has been polarized by Republican tactics for so long, I can't help but think this is a way to try and sabotage Clinton's campaign. Let's hope that doesn't work! If you are sincere Ms. Coulter you have my apologies.

However, some in the Democratic party are saying if Clinton is the nominee they'll vote for McCain rather than vote for her. Two sides of the same coin here. Emotions are very high this campaign. May it all work out for our country which I know we all love-whatever our politcal bent.

As for McCain...he is a man I respect for his past service to the country and his straight speaking ways. I read his book on his time as a POW before he was ever in politics and my admiration for his personal courage is great. However, from where I sit-as a Democrat-he has moved from the center toward the right. He may not satisfy Republican conservatives, but his war and taxation policies scare me plenty. I could never vote for him.

I don't understand the rush to endorse the Grumpy Old Man before Super Tuesday. What are they seeing in this guy????

Don't do her any favors ok? I wouldn't want you on my side and I probably won't vote for her if she endears you.

Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran and anyone in the way has been lining Forbe and his ilk's pocket. Endorse McCain for more wars and war industry!!!!

Okay, CNN. You win. For whatever reason you either delete my posts or I end up in eternal "awaiting moderation."

I'm done with the Ticker.
