		<description>Not for McCain: He&#039;s an American Citizen, still. It doesn&#039;t matter where you are born as long as you are born as a US Citizen. You can have someone born in Canada whose parents are American and claim they are a natural American citizen.

And it&#039;s amazing the animosity against McCain. Almost as amazing as the support of Ron Paul (I still don&#039;t get the appeal of someone running William Jennings Bryan&#039;s platform of bimetallism and isolationism), but I suppose that&#039;s to be expected. Of all the Republicans, he&#039;s easily the one I respect the most. Frankly, the Republican Party today is murdering itself behind stupid leaders (Bush) and selfish pundits (Limbaugh, Beck, Coulter) who feel they are actually more important than the people who actually do the work that they comment on.</description>

		<description>Is it wrong to hope McCain dies of a heart attack?  It is starting to look like the only hope for our country.

Fortunately, this nomination fight is not over, except in the sense that the Democrats are sure to win if McCain in fact becomes the nominee.  No true conservative will vote for him.

What a raw state of affairs when a perfectly good and well educated person entertains thoughts of a Presidential candidate&#039;s premature death being a happy and patriotic event.  (The &quot;Son of Cain&quot; is 71.  It could happen.)

And I am not alone. 

Back to campaigning for his competitors!</description>

		<description>How can McCain even run for President?  He was born in the Panama Canal Zone. Check out his bio on his website, he leaves that little factoid out. If he wins, can he serve?</description>

		<description>Just like Romney, she is trying to buy the nomination with her money.  If you can&#039;t get people to support you financially, then I&#039;m sorry you should give it up. Meanwhile ordinary folks continue to support Obama because they believe in his cause and vision for the country.  Ordinary folks are propelling Obama all the way to the nomination and the presidency.  That&#039;s the difference!</description>

		<description>Definitely in favor of Clinton otherwise Florida and Michigan results will have to be recgonized.. If they are not recognized, it is already roumoured these states will go for McCain and Clinton supporters will switch to McCain in anger. It is also expected that the Republican conservatives will announce a colorful acceptance of McCain. Many people also believe that McCain deserves presidency as a reward for serving in the military and in congress for very many years.

I tatally believe that McCain will beat Obama in November &#039;99 but he will not beat Clinton. Conservative acceptance will make healines that will energize the party. against Obama - a Blackman who&#039;s been against the military - literally laugh at their sacrifices in protecting the country and laughing at them for listening to the C-in-C&#039;s orders. Clinton did not demean the military.</description>

		<description>This question goes to the voters of Arizona. This state is inundated with illegal immigrants, perhaps more than other states of the country. Senator McCain has been representing this state for 25 years. He did nothing to close state’s border with Mexico. Why people of Arizona kept reelecting this man to the senate, and now voted for him in presidential elections?</description>

		<description>McCain is an old pandering fool.  I can&#039;t ever forget how he spoke the gospel truth about Fat Boy Jerry Falwell and his ilk being &quot;agents of intolerance,&quot; then surprised the hell out of all of us by speaking at Falwell&#039;s university commencement exercises.  McCain only knows ONE thing -- the war, the war, the war.  He knows nothing about the economy, he couldn&#039;t define what an HMO is to save his life, and he certainly can&#039;t spell the words, &quot;Illegal immigration.&quot;  Yep, his imprisonment in Vietnam (I thank him for serving) has completely addled his brain!</description>

		<description>Yes, McCain can reunite the &quot;Republican&quot; party if we conservatives only abandon our principles.  No thanks.  I&#039;ll prefer to lose with my honor and integrity intact rather than win by abandoning all that I am.

Check out Ronald Reagan&#039;s 1964 &quot;A Time for Choosing&quot; speech on YouTube (the full 9 minute speech).  When liberals are mystified as to why conservatives &quot;still&quot; swoon at the memory of Ronald Reagan, watch this video and discover why.</description>

		<description>The dems should be happy about this.  A McCain nomination will ensure a Hillary/Obama victory.  True conservative republicans will NOT vote for McCain.  We will settle for another Jimmy Carter in office for 4 years rather than have McAmnesty de-face the GOP.

Congrats dems, you did it this year!  Start planning your victory parties now.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m an Obama supporter, but I will only consider McCain on following two conditions:

1. If Hillary is the Democratic nominee. 
and
2. Huckabee is NOT the running mate.

I will vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee, but only if McCain chooses a running-mate that is comparable to McCain. Given McCain&#039;s age, I do not want to wake up one day to see Huckabee (or Romney) as President of the United States. I am tired of the conservative extremists and extremists left. People like Romney and Huckabee are ultimate dividers, and they will further ruin this country. Nothing gets done, and never will. Aren&#039;t you sick of it? Can&#039;t we get along?

Charlotte, look at the Exit Polls for each primary state. It even shows county-by-county votes. They&#039;re available on CNN&#039;s Election Results.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m as disgusted with the current choices as the next guy, but staying home and not voting is 100% foolish.  If you are that fed up, find a candidate in a small third party and support them.  The GOP/Dems aren&#039;t changing course anytime soon, so if you disagree that strongly with them, find someone you can believe in.  It&#039;s not &quot;throwing away&quot; a vote if you don&#039;t win, but not voting IS throwing away your vote.</description>

		<description>True McCain has crossed the line, but isn&#039;t that what America needs? Do we want more of the same that we have had for the last 8 years? God forbid.

Not voting is not the answer. At least McCain is not claiming to &quot;reunite the world&quot; like Obama and his focused is on reuniting the US. 

I would rather see McCain in office that Obama any day and will cast my vote for him if Obama becomes the Dem nominee; which I doubt. 

I heard Fox News say today the Obama&#039;s claim to reunite the world is the same claim that Regan made. Doesn&#039;t surprise me that Obama still remains with nothing original, copycat a/h! Noe that is BAD!</description>

		<description>Alice in Florida -

McCain is more of Bush.  Much more.  

If he wins, we are in Iraq for 100 years, we will give amnesty to all illegal aliens and on and on and on.

It should bother people in BOTH parties that McCain is winning on issues that his party has in overwhelming numbers refused to support.  There is only a small contingent of war mongers in the party, and they do not want illegal immigration rewarded, yet McCain is winning, vs. Romney.  

Something is wrong with the party, when McCain can be elected on these issues.    

If this can happen to the Republicans, it can happen to any party.  

It should worry us all..</description>

		<description>Every one needs to quit whining about the candidates. The three remaining candidates are the best of what this country has to offer.  If there was a better solution, that person would still be in the race.  They may be not the best candidates for your specific needs, but for the country as a whole.  Remember that when you vote  you are supposed to vote for what is best for your country.</description>

		<description>McCain is coming on strong now and we had better be glad.  He would have made us a good pres. in 2000 if he had the money to get past the Bush Bulldozer that bought their way in then.  You&#039;ve got to have a man that understands the military, terrorism, and foreign policy first, then the rest of the nations many,many,many problems can be addressed.  But, we have to have strength and security before anything else.  Go McCain, come-on haters, don&#039;t hate, appreciate !!!!</description>

		<description>JACK NICHOLSON ENDORSES HILLARY CLINTON!

Of course, no coverage on CNN, because this is not as important as a headliner story such as Hulk Hogan endorsing Obama. 

Shame on you cnn.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t imagine voting for McAmnesty.....unlike other comments I think Mccain being held in Vietnam must have addled his brain..why else would he want to give our country away to a bunch of illegal alien criminals! He is a shame &amp; disgrace to the republican party...anyone that would team up with Kennedy shouldn&#039;t even be considered for president. I hate, hate, hate John McCain.......</description>

		<description>A couple of thoughts... 

1) A vote for Huckabee is a vote for Huckabee. What makes you think those voters who voted for Huckabee would have picked Romney as their 2nd choice? Romney&#039;s problem from the start was that he trashed his rivals in attack ads, then acted hurt when Huckabee/McCain hit back. Huckabee and McCain, whether they are wrong or right, cannot stand Romney... and as a result, I think a lot of their supporters can&#039;t stomach him either. As evidenced by the results in West Virginia, Huckabee supporters may very well have all gone to McCain in states like Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee... or at least a decent percentage of them. To continue to say that voting for Huckabee is taking votes away from Romney, it is just wrong! If you looked at the results yesterday across the country, Romney was in THIRD in almost every state! Huckabee would have the more legitimate argument that Romney is stealing votes from him!

2) The whole business about accusing McCain/Huckabee of a backroom WV deal is pathetic, especially coming from a campaign who 24 hours before stated that one of the two rules in politics is &quot;no whining.&quot; I am by no means an expert... but if I was a McCain supporter in that room yesterday, and saw that my candidate had no shot to win... it would be a no brainer as to who I would go stand with. It is common sense!!! 

3) &quot;Conservatives&quot; who say they refuse to vote for McCain or would vote for Hillary... Seriously... get a grip. You&#039;re actually willing to let Hillary pick the next 2-3 Supreme Court Justices? Doubt that.</description>

McCain needs Huckabee but it seems no one needs Romney.  I like Huckabee.
How about a McCain Huckabee ticket?  Then if BO sneaks in I would have someone to vote for.  :)</description>

		<description>McCain should not have to unite his party since Hillary&#039;s &quot;claiming&quot; that she&#039;ll do the same for the Dems.  That being said, there is an unaccounted, unreported and rather large contigency of Democrats who won&#039;t vote for her under any circumstances.  Couple that with her potential for rallying the Republican base, and I think the Republicans will keep the White House.  Congratulations on the early Christmas present!   Fifty percent of the country doesn&#039;t like Hillary and add to that 25-33% of Dems and the Republicans have a winning combo.  I hope all the Republicans wade through hell to vote for McCain and save this nation from another Clinton!</description>

		<description>i have no idea what the right-wing wants other than defeat.
mccain is pro-life, tax cutter / the emphasis of cutting spending as well, knows that the war on terror does not end just because you pul, out of iraq or afghanistan, and ruffles a few feathers that need ruffing time to time.
you guys stop w/ the roney thing, he betrayed more republican principles in his defeat v sen kennedy and yet that goes unblemished. besides, he has proven to be unwinnable in the south because he is a terrible campaigner. johnny mac and the huckster are beating him soundly w/ their pennies v his $$.</description>

		<description>McCain can&#039;t be serious.  He is the most liberal Republican in over a hundred years.  The conservative base is hoppin&#039; mad and rightly so.  The only unity in the forseeable future for the Republican party is if Hillary becomes the Democratic presidential candidate.  

He would be wise to drop the anti-Romney rhethoric and begin a very inconspicuous pro-Hillary campaign right about.... NOW!</description>

		<description>McCain doesn&#039;t seem to understand something.  HE WILL NEVER WIN. Both he and Bill Clinton&#039;s wife are deluding themselves if they think they have universal appeal.  If it is Bill Clinton&#039;s Wife vs. McCain my guess is that turnout will be low most people will be too depressed to bother voting knowing we are in for at least four years of either of these idiots.  The spectacle of Southern California being ceded to Mexico under either of their presidencies is too much to bear.

If either Romney or Obama top the tickets I will vote.  If Bill Clinton&#039;s wife is on the ticket even in the second spot then I&#039;m voting for the other candidate.  Unless the other candidate in McCain in which case my ballot goes in the trash bin where hopefully his presidential aspirations will eventually land.</description>

		<description>McCain is not a republican, he should run as Hillarys VP, Unite us? He&#039;s the one driving us in droves away the republicans, I Fought against McCain/Kennedy amnesty, I will fight again against McCain, Vote Romney, and if Romney drops out I will write in a vote, I&#039;m tired of hearing McCain is a war hero, Thats great and I think every person, every paper has Thanked him for his service, so for that and that alone he gets the Presidency, Dont think so, He has Juan Hernadez on his campain staff, Mr. Open Borders himself, McCain voted on a bill that would in effect give Mexico its say about our Border Fence, he voted AGAINST an amendment that would have called for all gang members, criminals and terrorists here illegally to be banned from citizenship. Mr. Republican? Not My Republican, not my President.</description>

		<description>The problem is between Huckabee and Romney, and has nothing to do with McCain. Yes, he is a good man, and I do believe that he knows what he is talking about. If he would talk about it. I have heard nothing but rhetoric, bad rhetoric, thus far. No plans. If he would say something intelligent, maybe I would be convinced. But thus far all I hear is liberal nonsense. If he wants to unite the Republican party, he has to adopt conservative views, but of course, that will not convince anyone. We all know what he already believes. Let&#039;s not have a flip-flopper like Hillary. 

That being said, let the conservatives unite behind Huckabee or Romney. Democracy means the majority wins, and the majority, thank goodness, is still conservative. So let&#039;s be rid of this fighting. Look, Huckabee, you won all those votes, yes, but you are still in third. Throw your support to Romney, and all those who would have voted for you will vote for Romney rather than side with McCain. That is the true union, none of this McCain nonsense. You can have the vice presidency. Let the true Republicans, those of us still faithful to conservative values, win. 

And for goodness&#039; sake, voters, let&#039;s think about our votes, shall we? Let&#039;s not vote for anyone because they&#039;re Mormon or because they&#039;re a POW or a woman or whatever, okay? That&#039;s how dictators are elected: people don&#039;t think about their votes. Let&#039;s approach this rationally. After all, we are electing our leader for the next four years. It&#039;s an important decision and shouldn&#039;t be approached like a popularity contest. The last thing we want is for people to see America as ignorant. 

Then again, it may be too late. We already showed how easily people can win our votes, no matter how empty their promises.</description>

		<description>I will not for McCain if he is the nominee, absolutely not.  I simply don&#039;t believe a word out of his mouth, do not believe he is a conservative and his ability to unite the party is seriously in question to say the least.  Our family will write in our choice.  Great post Matthew!</description>

		<description>To Charlie:

I&#039;m currently serving in Iraq have been here for 3 tours. I have received 2 purple hearts and a silver star . Do I have your vote? I hope not because a service record shouldn&#039;t be a determining factor. I&#039;m not going too vote for Sen. McCain I would rather vote Democrat.</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s ask a legit question....why hasn&#039;t John done any open forms or town hall meetings in his home state - if he can remember where that is.  Go to the people - get our questions and feedback.  What has John done for Arizona since his last election?  Why, he&#039;s MIA!  He&#039;s hot on the campaign trail and only leans on his political career as experience in the political arena.  What about the war?  John says he is one of the few with military experience.  Does this really qualify him to run a war that is such a controversary to the US citizens?  What about the border problem?  NO ONE wants to tackle this topic!!  Not even John because John will not want to tackle a problem that has to do with what the majority of US citizens really want - border protection.  What about John&#039;s age?  John should be looking for less stress jobs - we need someone young enough to run the office - not let the office run him!  We the people are looking for honesty, good solid business and personal ethics, and a sincere interest in the United States and it&#039;s peoples.  John will not bring any of this to the office of President of the US.  I think it&#039;s time for an addition to the ballots - &quot;None of the above&quot; would perhaps force a break to the grid lock we are seeing.</description>

		<description>Hillary has NEVER been true to herself (except for the greed factor) and especially NOT to the people (how quickly people forget her fiascos with Whitewater,  missing evidence, WalMart, secrecy, shady tactics, scandals of Chinese officials, and the ridiculous push of the Clintons to sell out our country to China which accounts now for all our jobs gone and everything Made in China. Hillary runs only on her name and her womanhood. Most Democrats and Independents were NOT behind Hillary.

Obama actually SAVED the Democratic Party because so many people hate Hillary and the Clintons that the Republican Party would win no matter who is the nominee and that still could happen if she gets nominated by Democrats.

Even in speeches...Obama is sincere...Hillary has to read hers, insincere, and actually copies her delivery and words to try to match Obama&#039;s. I thought it was funny when she tried to shout and sound like Obama that she lost her voice.  Hillary should try to be herself and honest for once in her life.

The only person like Bush is McCain...warmongers</description>
