My question is: How can the FEC do their business if they only have 2 members and have to fill the 4 vacancies before they can rule on this?
Do these members need to be appointed (if so, by whom) or are they elected? It makes absolutely NO sense to me….what is going on?

The FEC should get their act together and to their job!

You got to ask yourself?????…..do we need 4 or 8 more yrs of Repub lies????????

It's about time somebody in politics challenged McCain's code of conduct. I'm sick and tired of hearing the "hero" line. Am I supposed to vote for this phony because of his "hero" record? Am I supposed to vote for him because he served in the military? People need to stop sucking up to him and worshiping his hero record and start looking at the facts and the real John McCain. We're electing the President of the United States; we're not electing a homecoming king. McCain is a loose canon and will start WW III if elected. Nobody should be fooled by the "nice guy" image he's using in the media.

I am glad I don't vote south of the border. You give the candidates no room to speak or give thier opinion There is so mutch crap going around and who knows what to believe. Make it simple and you will still get the person you want elected.
Everyone has a moutpiece out there and its almost like the saprano's in real time.
Does enyone think for themselves?

DNC Chairman needs to hold his tonque as to John McCain's integrity. The Democrats have a lot of room to talk about integrity and values. Their beloved President was impeached and his wife stole the furniture and silveware from the Whitehouse when reluctantly left the whitehouse. This shows how desperate the Democrats have become and what they will do to get back into the Whitehouse. Not on my watch, Semper Fi.

This is so absurd, it does not justify a response…. shame on Mr. Dean. Unless he has spent over five years being tortured and never given up on his country…. shut up.

If The Catholic League for Religious has some guts it would DENOUNCE & REJECT John McCain for President TODAY. Mr. McCain has had ample amount of time to DENOUNCE & REJECT this Hagee guy.

Its good to see Dean back on the scene! The left needs someone to counter all the right-wing attack dogs.

Dean is speaking on behalf of perhaps the most unethical couple in American politics and he has the nerve to criticize a man of McCain stature? Just more of the same gutter politics from the Democrats. Nice going Dean, let's continue the trash talk we have experienced of the past 15 years!

My question has always been, when did McCain grow some integrity. Charles Keating and his young son were sent to prison for stealing millions from the savings and loan, McCain was involved and walked away. The Keating family was financially destroyed while Charles Keating did his prison time, John McCain's family made money. There is more to be exposed on this McCain family which will blow your socks off.

Quit haggling ! You got enough problem as the head of a party ! What about Florida and Michigan voters ?

The lack of restraint of some democrats, as Howard Dean, has no limit, having performed the same act (nuances excepted) as he is
now accusing McCain, more so, because he takes advantage of the fact that the FEC is not operative.

And it is very bizarre that such persons have the nerve to say that
reepublicans are the masters of smear tactcs.

Tom

Hey i wonder if you all could ask huckabee one more time why he is staying in the race, Do you realize how you all look in the eyes of a person like me that understood his answer with clarity the first time. I think this makes you feel better about yourselves because you really dont give much value to regular working americans. Why not try to up your standards a little bit and act like ya got some sense.

We are talking about a man who cheated on his first wife and married his Mistress. We are talking about a man who was deeply involved in the S& L Scandal in the 80's with the Bush family that the American tax payers had to bail him out. We are talking about a man who used his horrible orderal in Vietnam to drum up sympathy. We are talking about a man who has disrespected colleagues and foes alike. We are talking about a man who ran out of money for his campagin and want to use the "General Election Funds" as a campaign issue because he can't raise enough money to go the distance. We are talking about a man who has a bunch of Lobbyist running his campagin. Mr. Straight talk. Yeah this is man is Mr. Intergrity.

Way to go Dean!!!

Since Obama and Hillary are so focused on each other, they really don't have the time to focus on McCain.

Hillary drop out so Obama can focus his energy on the McCain and the republicans

Obama 08

I'm an Obama supporter and I think Dean needs to shut up until he goes through a Vietnamese prison for 5 years, is beaten every week for refusing to sign statements against his country. McCain refused special treatment or release unless all of the other POW's were also released. Tell me again how he has no integrity.

Please, Dean, do us all a favor and shut up.

The great hypcrosy that is Howard Dean. Howard Dean himself entered and got out of public financing in his "failed" 2004 presidential campaign. How can Dean call out McCain's integrity when Dean never even served in the armed forces.

And you think obama has any?

CNN seems like it's reporting for a change. Thank God.
Most people in my community were so tired of hearing about the new kid on the block. Many love the Clintons.
Too many opinions and too much hate was completely turning them off. The Clintons aren't to dislike. They should be totally respected.

It took Saturday Night Live to stop the bashing.
I think 2-3 surveys also conveyed the outrageous coverage of Hillary

Hillary is the former "First Lady" of America. President Clinton was the greatest president with a 60 percent approval rating.

Both of them deserve respect from the media. It's so refreshing to see this for a change.

McCain has a dam sight more integrity than Hillary and Billy boy. But there again this is the Clinton News Network reporting.
If Hillary had any integrity she would release those tax returns and Whitehouse papers.

Please, Howard "Screams like Vince McMahon" Dean is calling John McCain's integrity into questions seems like a big joke, because Dean's 2004 campaign had a similar public financing situation. Oh and by the way, Mr. Barack "the Chosen One" Obama also reneged on his written pledge to accept public financing himself (so much for hope and dreams, when the man flip flops on his own word).

But as to Mr. McCain's integrity, he endured years of brutal torture and certain death as a POW because he refused to make statements against the USA. To me, as a veteran, there can be NO GREATER TEST of a man's integrity or honor. If the dems want to beat McCain, do it on the issues, because this honor, integrity and patriotism are losing arguments.

Let's see….one of the Keating 5…divorced after having affair with current wife…is John McCain 'ethical'?

Dean is right on track. I am surprised that the news media has not asked McCain about his ties to Lincoln Savings. He was deeply involved with "loans - gifts - donations" from Lincoln Savings. That is his albatross. Iraq will come back to haunt him too. We have become the occupying force and the law enforcement of protect that do not exist for Iraqis. They can be arrested with no proof, searched with no warrant, and houses destroyed with no reason. Money is being spent on bribes and not on rebuilding the country's infrastructure. The surge on the military side is good news, the news on the political side is a joke. The Iraqi Prime Minister is a wimp who is more interested in revenge killing then trying to be a leader. He has not made one political milestone that Bush/GOP stated in January 2007. Yet the surge is a success. Only in America can you take something and twist a failure into a success. That is what McCain is counting on, that nobody is looking at the political milestones. There has been too much money and deaths on this country. Bush's legacy will be tied to his failure in Iraq and his inability to be a tell the truth. Now McCain wants to carry the torch and his 100 year remark will come back to haunt him too.

Did Howard Dean think there was a need to attack McCain in order to increase Obama's chances in November? This is so unnecessary.

Without proof of wrong doing, before they even gather the facts, he is smeared again like before. What is it? They can't find anything to use against him so they clutch at straws even if it means using rumor and innuendo?

Howard Dean attacking McCain on his integrity? Good god, attack him on his political views, but to attack the integrity of a man who spent 5 years as a POW for his country is nothing short of shameful.

Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy should get together in a bar in Southie and see which one can bellow the loudest.

As for campaign financing it is an expensive waste. As for the lengths of these campaigns it is an expensive waste. All candidates who are serving (strike that)/ being paid to do a job representing a constiuency are an obscene waste of tax payers money.
We have national elections every 4 years coinsiding with leap year.
Let the games begin no sooner than Jan 1 and end February 29 in all states. A day off to vote in the primaries. Be done with it in one fell swoop, and get back to work.
This congress is a bad joke. They quibble about steriods in sports while we are at war, the economy is in turmoil, and the nation is raped by the support of illegal alliens stealing OUR nations benefits.
Nancy Pelosi should be tarred and fethered for dereliction of duty along with the rest of the musty bunch of quagmire do-nothings.

McCain has no integrity left. He's so determined to get to the White House that he has embraced the hate-filled leaders of the Religious Right who smeared him the last time Around. He was a POW for 5 Years, presumably tortured, so he knows darn well why America doesn't torture, but he refuses to denounce President Bush's torture policy for fear of losing the 26%. He's basically running his campaign on a platform of Attacking Iran.

The rodent Howard Dean should stick a sock in it.If ever there was a cheap political hack it is him. Howard Dean was skiing in Vermont when McCain was a POW.

McCain won't even denounce Hagee, who is he to ask Senators Clinton and Obama to denounce Howard Dean? And isn't Dean 100% correct? Aren't we seeing a lack of integrity in McCain's refusal to denounce and reject the endorsement of homophobic anti-Catholic Hagee?

Honestly, I expect better of John McCain.

Dem and Rep really should stop petty attacks like this example from Dean. This type of tactic doesn't help either party and causes the real issus facing Amreica to be convoluted into the background, instead of bringing lively discussion on them.

I agree with John McCain that this type of attack by Dean should not be acceptable. I think it is time that the "political leadership" of America finds a place to have a discourse worthy of Americans and not just a mud fest as usually happens.

Howard Dean needs to apologize.

Dean is right. McCain is the sacrificial lamb for a republican party that is on the wane. McCain is the best the republicans have to offer and that is a sad commentary for an arrogant, corruptible and incompetent political party.

Come on john it is again time to tell america about your POW tour and do not forget to retell us how you have used the same old story to further your political endeavors. Also do not forget to remind us that you came back alive, 55,000 [did not come back alive] and or get involved criminally with special interestsand lobbyists. If your going to use these tactics to forward your greed be prepared to pay for them

Senator McCain recently changed his positions as often as he changed his suit. He is cravenly chasing every vote he can get, even the anti-catholic vote. He should be running in the election of 1884 as James Blaine.

Actually he looks more like the third term of George Bush. Talk with your friendly neighborhood Republican and they will tell you the only thing wrong with George Bush is the sloppy way he handled the war. Imagine, finding out you don't have enough troops after you declare victory! They will also tell you two recessions in eight years is just the business cycle. zzzzzz….

It looks like Senator McCain might get some competition for the Bush mantle from the Democrat side. I see Senator Obama is declaring himself a uniter. Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Is Howard Dean still mad about losing the primary 4 years ago? Is that what this is about? The Democrats who are actually in the race are too busy arguing about who gets treated by the media so Howard Dean pipes up to attack and smear John McCain?

Ask Vince Foster about Hillary Clintons integrity-oh wait….

How about we ask Antoin Rezko about Barack Obamas integrity

This is a weak and transparent smear attack from a washed up has been who is upset that he never had a chance to begin with.

Howard Dean is right, and I am a dyed in the wool republican who has NEVER voted Democrat and never will but neither will I vote for McCain.

Go ahead and start that crap and you will hand it over to McCain. You don't get it Americans ESPECIALLY INDEPENDENTS LIKE ME have no loyalty to either party and we are sick and tired of being sick and tired of the dirty uncalled for slams. John McCain did more for America in six years with his hands tied behind his back than you will ever do, and you know it. So there's an attack for you! How do you like it. I guess your mommy didn't teach you how to play nice. Now, I am a staunch Obama supporter, but I am a supporter of being decent first and actually that is one of the reasons why I support Barack. I hope he and Hillary denounce & reject your style of dirty slams. So please go away, don't go away mad just go away.

Typical Republicans, do as I say & not as I do. If America is stupid enough to let Dictator Bush older twin in 1600 Penn Ave; They deserver and the world deserves everything we know he will do.

DESTROY MANKIND!!!!!!

Why would they denounce it… It is very true.

McCain, the evil little man, has no integrity at all.
Let's not forget this part of his "record":
He cheated on and then ditched his first wife (after a severe auto injury) for heiress Cindy who took pills from her own charity.
Google it.

He sure hates being out of the spotlight…what an ego…

Why is McCain a hero? I don't want to take away from the torture and suffering he endured while a P.O.W., but that is something he had no say over, how does that make him a hero? We keep hearing that there has been no attack since 9-1-1, before that we had not been attacked on our soil since the war of 1812! Whenever we are finally able to give the Iraqi's control over there country, they will probably ally with Iran and Syria, brings back images of the Persian Empire. The economy went from a 3 trillion dollar surplus to a 3 trillion dollar deficit under the Bush misadministration. Gas was about 1.00 a gal. in 2000, now it is over 3.00, thanks to the republican economic and foreign policy. The theory of giving business a break on taxes so that they can increase jobs is good in theory, but doesn't work when they tak the profits and invest them overseas.

We denounce and reject John McCain for President.

Texans for Obama!

McCain really portrays himself as a man of great character but it seems some skeletons are squirming in his cupboard. We'll see.

I am from Arizona and I am completely disgusted with McCain. Besides all of the apparent issues, such as the war, immigration, and the economy, Senator McCain was the most absent Senator last year. In my opinion, he is basically stealing the money he makes as a Senator and then he spends all of his time planning a presidential campaign.

I have contacted local media and they refuse to ever run an article about this.

I would love to get paid for a year while I look for another job.

This comes from a guy who got a deferment so he didnt have to go to Vietnam, allegedly for a bad knee…then spent the next year skiing in aspen.

As howard Dean is so concerned about fair play, WHY HE DOESN't USE HIS AUTHORITY AS CHAIRMAN OF THE DNC TO INDUCE HILLARY TO FILE HER TAX REURNS FROM 1992 TO 2006 IMMEDIATELY ???
ALL THESE MUST BE FILED IN HILLARY'S OFFICE AND ALL WHAT IT IS REQUIRED IS THAT A SECRETARY COPIES IT AND FORWARD IT TO RGE DNC AND THE MEDIA

Excuses as that she if very busy and she would release them if OBAMA files his documents regarding RESZKO are real lame and
worse, outrageous excuses, especially as people voting in the primaries wishes to now how she was able to write a Check for $ 5,000,000 to the campaign !!

TOM

Deans right. McCain is a flipflopper weasle.

My big question is where did Vicki go? Is she in hiding? Why won't SHE talk to the press??????

WHERE IS VICKI?????

I think the time has come for a thorough, public review of John
McCain's relations with Charles Keating. We demand an end
to the media cover-up of what the Senate Ethics Committee
called "poor judgment" on the part of McCain.

Who pays attention to what Dean has to say anyway? Looks like the Democrats are really hurting when Dean has the gumption to say a war hero has no integrity. Last time I checked, the "wild one" blew his political career on a winter night in Iowa a long time ago. Keep it up Dean, the Republicans love you!

I am a Democrat but Dean should back off on his attacks on McCain. It can only spur the Republicans to launch similar attacks. We need intelligent discussions of the major issues not personal attacks on the candidates,

That was unbelievably outrageous and it's really dissapointing more democrats aren't calling for the resignation of Dean. Among other things he's called Republicans evil, insulted religion. and now called a man regarded for his integrity by all americans unethical. Dean needs to step down now.

Howard Deam should keep his mouth shut or we will have another 4 years of Republicans.

don't promote bigotry. anti catholicism is bigotry. 4-8 more years of republican lies? only to be replaced by a lifetime of democratic lies? open your eyes, brainwashed child!

I think Howard should have stayed in medicine.

What's going on with Florida & Michigan, and why did republican get some delegates in Florida & not the dems?

I heard Wolf today in an interview with Govenor Charlie Crist from Florida, and the Govenor thinks the dems should be seated.

Wolf commented saying that the candidates did campaign in Florida, however I live her & Obama did TV ads! We're not living under rocks, we've been watching debates, which leads me to believe that Obama would have difficult time here in Florida after his comments in regards to Cuba. Wolf hard to believe 1.7 million people don't know what's going on! General election Obama has serious troubles, he should want Florida & Michigan seated!

Another good reason why Hillary and not Barack needs to be the Democratic nominee. To pit Barack's integrity (real estate scandal in Chicago) against John's integrity (Keating S&L scandal in America) is to pit one cover-up artist against the other. Hillary comes out shining in the integrity contest.

I won't be voting for McCain in November, but he deserves credit for treating his Democratic opponents with respect. He's repeatedly referred to Obama and Clinton as "great Americans", and he's chastised those who speak disparagingly of them.

So it would be appropriate for Obama and Clinton to return the respect by denouncing and rejecting Howard Dean. His brand of gutter politics has no place in the Democratic Party.

I am horrified Mccain has not REJECTED the endorsement of John Hagee. I did not realize Hagee had such prejudiced and unheard of (among the educated) opinions about The Catholic Church, Slavery , Civil Rights and Women. Are we going back to the 19th century? Who supports this man?

Dean,

YOU JUST ALL LOST MY WHOLE Platoon's VOTE…..we'll vote for a war hero over an empty suit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mc Cain is a man of honor. Dean has always tried to bring others down to his level. Dean need pity. He is so jealous of the victories of others in politics.

Dean is a master at finding faults with others and not himself. The Democrats need him and Bill. They are from the same mold.

Mr Dean would do well to show some respect for a man
who has served his country as well as John McCain.

In defense of McCain's integrity comes: "DNC Chairman needs to hold his tonque as to John McCain's integrity. The Democrats have a lot of room to talk about integrity and values. Their beloved President was impeached and his wife stole the furniture and silveware from the Whitehouse when reluctantly left the whitehouse."

Sorry but there was no defense there. But then McCain has lied a lot. On Social Security, on tax policy, on the Iraq War. I guess some would say all politicians lie. Fine - but integrity was supposed to be McCain's strong suit. Which of course, is just another lie.

Really, Alice, the MOST unethical couple in politics? George more than makes up for Laura, you realize?

and Tom Wittman, the "nuances" you "except" are the difference between following the law and not following the law.

Is Dean wrong for making this statement…even if he is right?

Of course, you can almost never win attacking the integrity of a five year POW. But anyone who cares to look at McCain's political career will understand the true meaning of 'rhetoric, not substance.'

So very tasteless of Howard Dean to attack John McCain. But then again, what could we expect from someone who screams his brains out?

"John McCain has a history of doing what it takes, regardless of what the ethics of this are," Dean said. "I think he's going to be a flawed candidate."

Substitute Hillary Clinton for John McCain's name and it really is eerie how the truth is found.

To Peg:

Bush has held up the appointment of the other two members of the FEC.

McCain IS a loose cannon. He is wily and cunning, a true politician, and probably the exact opposite of his self-proclaimed "Straight-Talk Express" moniker.

I agree that Obama is also a charmer and a smooth-talker (though I am supporting his candidacy). I feel Clinton is actually, when it's all said and done, the most authentic, most genuine candidate. However, we need someone that inspires and LEADS the country. We don't need someone to "manage" or "run" the country. That should be the job of congress and the senate and the PEOPLE of this country. We need to get on board, as a nation, and get ourselves back on our feet after reeling from the horrible LEADERSHIP that is the Bush administration in conjunction with the horrible MANAGEMENT that has been our last 4 congresses.

But back to McCain for a minute…

Do we really want a man that is probably suffering from post traumatic stress disorder due to his horrible experiences in Vietnam as a prisoner of war?

He IS an American hero, and should be held in the highest esteem. However, that DOES NOT make him fit to be a LEADER of this country. Times are far too trying, and the stakes are far too high to elect this "straight-talker" who will say and do anything to get elected. Military service should ALWAYS be honored and revered. But military service does not mean that you can lead a country of farmers, doctors, teachers, lawyers, janitors, salesmen, and truck drivers… Obama is a leader. Of the highest caliber.

OBAMA 08

Dean's comments about McCain are reprehensible. As an independent, I am turned off by the DNCs constant attacks against McCain. If this line of negative campaigning continues, I will be voting for McCain in the Fall.

To Peg's question on the FEC -

Do these members need to be appointed (if so, by whom) or are they elected? It makes absolutely NO sense to me….what is going on?

The holdup believe it or not was Obama - rather than allow the nominated members to be voted on, Obama spoke against it and so those nominees are in limbo. The republicans want to vote on the four nominees as a group - yes/no. Can't be done until the democrats agree to it.

how he honored his first wedding vows speaks volumes about integrity.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I wish Howard Dean would just shut up about this. Let people decide for themselves. Republicans and democrats should be able to come together to do what's best for this country, instead of fighting like blood thirsty mobs.

I hope both Obama and McCain will speak against these kinds of partisan attacks coming from their parties. Might be a bit early for Obama since he hasn't gotten the nomination yet. Both of these people have the power to change their parties, for the better.

End the bickering, NOW!

I am a Democrat, but I am not fanObama supporter. Dean should not expect McCain to denounce anyone if BO has as a mentor a man who gave Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award. Farrakhan hates all Jewish people and has called Hitler a great man. Rezko goes on trial tomorrow. Perhaps we'll learn more about BO's character when we learn the full story of his good friend Rezko. Or we learn how much money he got from his other buddy who was a member of the Weatherman. How much integrity does Micelle Obama have to say she was never really proud to be an American but wants us to vote for her husband to be president? Dean should not thrown stones if his chosen candidate can't take the same pressure. Obama's only claim of political action is how he didn't support the war because he knew Afghanistan was the real problem. But he didn't have the integrity to hold hearings on Afghanistan. I believe he avoided it in case he was wrong. Don't disparage a man who spent years in a prisoner of war camp because he defended our country. Was Dean even in the military. Obama sure wasn't! Pictures of him on stage with a line of people who have their hands over their hearts to honor our national anthem while he stands with his hands down, speaks volumes about his support for our country. Ask for our votes, but will not honor our anthem. That means his talk of being president isarrogant.
NO = Not Obama

I've never been a McCain supporter - he always talked like an independent but voted like a harcore, right-wing neoconservative. Even on issues he's been stringently opposed to - like torture - he's changed his position. How can a guy who was tortured in Vietnam change his position on torture?

Anyway, why is it every time anyone with the slightest affiliation does anything, everyone calls on the candidates to denounce them? If it turns out I voted for Hillary, and I say something mean about gun owners, does she have to denounce me, even though she's completely uninvolved? If McCain wants to disagree with Dean, let him. I didn't see Republicans denouncing Swift Boat Vets, but Dems get backed into a corner and denounce MoveOn? Politics is a tough game, and the crybaby tactic seems unbecoming of a national leader - whether it's McCain, Obama or Clinton.

There is nothing funnier than watching one career politician attacking another politician's integrity.

You're in the wrong business, Dean. Looking at the way your party's been controlling Congress, particularly how they were going to clean it up after they took that control, seems to be the biggest act of hypocrisy in recent memory.

I really don't think the American people will forget those promises either, Howie.

November's coming, hope you brought your lunch.

Integrity, indeed.

McCain is such a hypocrite. How he can go through the worst of war and then declare that hes going to subject over 100,000 troops to potentially the same treatment for 100 years BAFFLES me.

A true hero would SAVE lives and that means getting OUT of Iraq.

This man needs to rethink how he operates himself. Im so tired of his immunity because he suffered. We get it….. he was tortured……. but he didnt learn his lesson that WAR is WRONG

Hes no better than Dean, and he needs to stop cheating the people out of the tax money!!

It's like the pot calling the kettle black Mr Dean. Your integrity is certainly in question after your attempts to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan Democrats.

I believe Mr. Dean just better be "careful" with his words!! Right now, the Democratic Party hangs in the balance — the two candidates are fighting for victory — and it appears that Mr. Dean is considering letting Florida (and perhaps Michigan) spend their own taxpayers money to either have a redo of their primary and/or seat the Florida/Michigan Delegates and let them vote at the convention!! THE WORD INTEGRITY MIGHT JUST COME BACK TO BITE HIM, AND HE MAY JUST FACE A LAW SUIT HIMSELF!!

And further, Thank you!! CNN for your today's biased coverage of the campaign trails of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama !! You certainly have pulled out ALL OF THE STOPS to cover "POOR HILLARY" today! It has been and continues to be very evident that you spend most of your air time at every stop along the Clinton trail!! Well, when she loses, she certainly cannot come back to you and say you didn't give her the proper PR the last few days!! I believe ALL Americans would be better off in their decision/choice for the nominee if their was NO MEDIA, NO NEW PAPERS, NO RADIO, NO TELEVISION AND NO TELECOMMUNICATIONS!! That way, we could pick our candidate by listening to him/her — and make up our own mind in HONESTY AND TRUTH!! The fabrications, dirty politics and lies we have heard and continue to hear in this election have taken the steam right out of both political parties!! To be quite honest with you, I for one, will be glad when the "NEGATIVE" AND DISHONESTY" are done and over!! Perhpas you can find a plan of action to ALTER your media coverage by the time the year 2012 rolls around!! However, I"m NOT holding my breath!!

Dean is ranting like a spoiled baby again. Everyday, people in Amierica struggle to get by taking loans, paying mortgages, putting kids thorugh school. What does the liberal politician do - nothing to help us, but tyr to advance their party by bad-mouthing the ccompetition. This guy should get out of public life - I'm sick of the carping.

Just who the heck Dean thinks he is? This is not is campaign. If he does no support McCain, then endorse Hussein and shut up.

Dean attacking McCain on his integrity? McCain spent 5 best years of his life years as a POW when Dean was skiing in Vermont.

Attack his political views if you want Dean, but attack his integrity? Shame on you.

Dean said. "I think he's going to be a flawed candidate."

So what Dean, are you flawless? Are you the perfect one?

Interesting comments…Is McCain going to be impossible to criticize because of his undisputed heroism??

My cocerns about McCain:

1. His insistence on Obama sticking with public funding while he is trying to get out of his request for public funding for the Republican nomination; Obama has every right to state that, if (when) he wins the nomination there needs to be a face to face meeting and a signed deal hammered out before any agreement is reached

2, McCain's change in stances now that he is trying to consolidate his "base" within the Republican voters

3, He is more than able to wage a war…but where is his track record on making peace or on diplomacy…that is really what is needed now…his comments on "…bomb, bomb Iran sticks too vividly in my mind

I'm a Clinton supporter and I think that Dean needs to hush up. He made a fool of himself when he ran for President. He needs to learn from his own lessons.
