Yes, his at his best sleep.

3AM

74 YEAR OLD MAN

THE PHONE RINGING

IT TOOK HILLARY 6 RINGS TO PICK IT UP, IT WOULD TAKE McCAIN 206 RINGS.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANT.

Why don't McCains people tell him when he sounds like a moron, he goes off script and sounds like exactly like a bumbling moron.

Kind of like saying Obama is the candidate of the past, this coming from an old pale white guy.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaah

"I've been involved in every major national security challenge for the last 20 years that has faced this country"=======

Wouldn't a real "red phone moment" leader have found a way to keep us out of some of them? Iraq was one of those he might have helped us avoid, ya think?

JOHN MCCAIN SURE IS A JOHNNY COME LATELY WITH A STATEMENT LIKE;

"I AM THE BEST AT 3 A.M."

IT TOOK HIM TWO DAYS TO COME UP WITH THAT RESPONSE……….

GOD HELP AMERICA!

I love my country to, but when I get 71 I hope to be retired and enjoying my country. I know McCain feels 20 but no body can beat the time clock and everyones body goes throught the process of getting old there is nothing you can do to stop it, If McCain wins the election he will be 75 at the end of his first term. I admire McCain but I don't know any 71 year old that I think could run our country.

McCain's judgement is worse than Clinton's. Invasion of a country who doesn't want us there, 4000 dead soldiers, loss of credibility with the international community, wasting $12 million a month, for what? The answer is the for the love of war and oil. I only phone McCain should answer at 3am is Domino's Pizza.

Texans for Obama

This 3 Am thing is a joke. Hillary made a commerical about it, it was a dumb fear tactic and Obama and McCain follow up with these kind of things. I want politics to represent the potential and beauty I see in the world. Instead it represents Americans.

The republicans have destroyed the image of america, they have sqaundered millions in Iraq.They had no bid contracts for Katrina and Iraq were they ripped people off. They have used torture in abu gray in Iraq and the white house has been the most corrupt in history and you think another republican should be elected?i don't think so.

Billary would not have a sleeping chance against McCain.

And this comes from a Democrat who would never vote for Hil-Liar-y.

sorry McCain your EXACTLY what America does NOT want in 08
more of Bush, more fear tactics, etc etc
Everything that comes out of your mouth will come back to haunt you
bomb bomb Iran, wishing castro dead, insinuating Russia had illegal elections
dont you get it….Americans are sick and tired of War mongering and
finger pointing at your enemies!!!
why do you think they are coming out in the tens of thousands for Obama!
they want DIPLOMACY .you know trying to talk to your enemies for a change!!
down with McCain !!

Phone rings at 3am; President McCain, it's time…to change your Pampers!

why not, she's a mean evil woman - just like ann coulter and he is… spreading falsehoods and manipulative!

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
This is his best work yet!

Obama claims to have good judgement on the Iraq issue from the start. He now says as far as the Rezko issue, he made an error in judgement. So I don't want him answering the phone. As Ann Richards said, "That dog won't hunt."

LOL!!!

When Hillary's phone rings at 3am, you know it's going to be someone asking if she knows where Billy Jeff is.

You young ones have no clue. Us Old timers are awake at 3:00 a.m.
going to the bathroom. So when the phone rings we are already awake. Plus we have the knowledge and wisdom that comes with age that allows us to make decisions and the foresight to know when we are over our head. The young ones make quick and rash decisions and later realize they made the worng ones. We were young too and many of us wish we could take back some of those bad choices. I'll take the old man over Obama or Clinton anytime.
At least I can count on him to make the decision on what is best for his Country. The United States of America.

For someone who wants the 100 years war w/ Iraq and sing - 'Bomb bomb Iran' for fun - no, I don't want him to make a decision on that 3:00AM call.

Another call that McCain might get in the middle of the night is one telling him of the death of one of the moderate/liberal Supreme Court justices.

If that happens, Roe vs. Wade is history, and women will die.

Vote Democrat in 11/'08. If your candidate doesn't win the nomination, hold your nose and do it anyway.

Why are Latinos voting for Hillary? She has never shown that she has their best interest at heart. She can't even articulate her ideas on immigration, for goodness sakes!

Obama is by far the best candidate, his policy ideas are much more realistic than hers.

Very funny.

John McCain wouldn't even hear the phone ringing. And, his support of the Iraq invasion ought to remove any question about his poor judgment.

The only call McCain will be getting after he gets blown out in the generals is the 3am phone call from his wife wondering why the hell he's still at the club drinking away his loss.

HILLARY IS THE SMARTEST AND STRONGEST OF THE 3 CANDIDATES.

I READ THIS HEADLINE AND HAD TO LAUGH. ELDERLY PEOPLE DO HAVE ERRATIC SLEEP PATTERNS. I KNOW…BAD JOKE.

Obama's answer to everything is the vote for the Iraq war, which he didn't even vote for b/c he wasn't in the senate at that time. This argument is getting old!!!

Most 3am calls that Hillary has taken so far allegedly involve Bill saying "don't believe what you read in tommorow's papers."

Most 3am calls that Obama has received allegedly involve Rezko saying that the check has cleared.

Clearly, Rush is still an idiot.

This is exactly the problem with the 3 a.m. thing. The Dems arn't going to win by nominating mini-McCain (Clinton) for her favorability on national security. Dems need to nominate Obama who can fight McCain on a whole different battlefield and make McCains "time-in-washington" argument meaningless.

It's absolutely scary to me that this old man would be responsible for this countries national security issues.

U r a good man, but, no, you are not the best answering the phone at 3 am, cause you wanna stay in war Mr. McCain.

Hillary has the strenght, and the skills to lead our nation based on experience. Obama has a good will, but that is not enough . What do we calll people who says one thing and does a different one? why don't we "read about the memo" and the false talk of Mr. Obama, is that the change we hope for.

We are running to change things based on the D agenda and Hillary will successfully lead our nation.

Come March 4th, Hillary will once again prove that she is the "come back kid."

Hillary 08!

All three of these clowns are wrong. The person most capabale and most likely to answer the call at 3am is the help desk agent in India, Hungry, Malaysia, Brazil and some day…China.

McCain is on life support at 3 A.M everyday, thats why he is at his best. How is he going to be answering the phone.

I just hope I get invited to a BQ next time, LOL!!!! Na'h, na'h I'm just playing, LOL!!!

No doubt! John McCain is by far the most qualified.

The argument against McCain and is age is rather, well, old. The President is supposed to be strong in the area of foreign policy and leading the military.

Hillary hates the military, and Obama thinks he can talk our enemies into a treaty, thinking because he can make a speach he will be listened to.

Life is more complicated than Mr. Obama thinks, though he can talk a great line.

McCain has done both the leg work and the home work; that is a qualification of age.

McCain is our man, he is ready to lead America in 2009.

I didn’t know McCain was an oil baron, so I must read up on that. Being a Vet I can understand McCain and being ready at 3am. For those of you who have not had the privilege to serve our country when you have a post no matter where it is you take it seriously, very seriously, and I believe McCain has the knowledge and sound judgment to make those decisions. Hillary was in the White House and not running the country so for her to say she has 35 years of experience show me please where did you get it from. Obama is a freshman Senator and talk about the lack of experience he is at the top of the list. From what we have so far running for President we don’t have much to choose from so I’ll take a 75 year old Senator with 20 years of experience over a new Senator who sounds good and has yet to deliver and another Senator would rather debate than anything else. Please in another 4 years could we have someone run for President who has proven experience, sound judgment and who hasn’t been in politics their entire life and will bring back respect to our country and appreciation abroad?

Red phone ring……

2 days later… McCain finally wakes up to the 3am ringing phone question..

Mccain: Bomb… bomb…. bombbb bommbbbb IRAN, 100 years of war here we go!!! yippeee

No doubt, at 71, you are experienced. Point is, we DO NOT want your type of judgment. That's the point exactly. Its the future vs the past. No brainer.

bond wrote March 3rd, 2008 6:48 pm ET

"wasting $12 million a month, for what?"

Correction: Bond it is 12 BILLION a month not 12 million a month ( This is a staggering 400 million a day !!) The total amount of money GW Bush had loaned is more than all other US Presidents combined. We are in a recession !! make no mistake about it. Can anybody rationally think of voting for a GOP candidate unless they want India and China to overtake is in the next 10yrs.

Senator McCain will not hold his opponents' age and lack of experience against them, for now. I cannot wait till he makes them look like ill-tempered attack dogs in the general election debates.

And he cheated on his first wife with his current wife. Great morals from a conservative leader that the religious right wing love.

McCain should be able to wake up at 3am in the morning after having been asleep since 3pm. At 71 years old at 3pm every day is about the time us old timers to take a nap and call it a day. If you think I'm joking, wait until you get there and trust me McCain is no acception. Vote Obama.

The thing that matters the most here is if Hillary is President There wont be no need for a red phone call,Lets face it Hillary will make it so we have jobs Healthcare and can stop worrying about everything so we can go back to are jobs and go on vacation and play golf again

When Clinton ran this ad, I thought the same thing. Because, if Clinton's "lifetime of experience" makes her better equipped to answer the phone at 3 AM, then McCain's lifetime of experience makes him far much more equipped to answer the call.

But we've learned that experience doesn't mean you'll make the right decision.

Judgment Matters
Obama 08

At his age would it be healthy to stay up that late?

LadyLeo,

I'll put the judement of Ronald Reagan in his 70's against Bill Clinton in his 40's any day of the week.

McCain 08!

At 3 AM this dude would probably need a cardioconverter to wake up and deal coherently with a call from the White House Situation Room.

"Invasion of a country who doesn't want us there…"

Grammar aside, now that's funny!

Mike Huckabee March 4th in Texas, and Mike Huckabee in November too!

But who is best equipped to handle non-3 am crises?

I could be wrong, but I doubt that the vast majority of crises occur at precisely 3am, so I therefore conclude that this argument is ridiculous.

John Mc Cain has had a string of episodes of, “I did not meet him”, statements. He said he never met Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham says he did. Mc Cain said he never met with the lobbyist’s boss that worked for the Media giant. I cannot find his name now, but that boss, said in reports that he did in fact meet with McCain. Mc Cain’s top advisors said that they did met with McCain about the lobbyist problem. McCain has said he did not. Mc Cain has also gone through a retraction mode. First he says “I lose” on Iraq with a quick retraction. Then Mc Cain says, “ I am a Liberal Republic”, with a quick retraction of “hold on there, I am a Conservative Republican”. Add this all up and you have to ask a couple of questions. Is he lying or are they? I do not think McCain is a liar, nor are they. I think McCain doesn’t remember meeting these people. I think his miss steps in words are a more frightening possible cause. I think it is possible McCain’s best days are behind him. Is it possible he is moving towards senility?

se·nile adj
1. forgetful, confused, or otherwise mentally less acute in later life
2. occurring in or believed to be characteristic of later life, especially the period after the age of 65 years

McCain is a hero. But you can not elect a man who can't remember.

People need to think this thought.
If your parents are in their 70's, would
A. Want to endure the stress of being the President of the US
B. Would you be totally sure that they would have the same ability to react quickly and effectively in all situations after living with the stress of being the president.
D. Would you vote for them because you knew they could do an excellent job

There is nothing wrong with being 70ish. But it is not the right age for a job this stressful

Shucks, 3 a.m. is for pantywaists. What we are all dying to know is who is the best at picking up the phone at 4 a.m.? That's where we separate the men from the boys. And more to the point, how would they describe their phone-picking up technique? A manly thrust of the arm and a grunt? A crisp and decisive lift? A snappy movement like a military salute that thrills all patriotic Americans to their red, white and blue socks?

Is anybody getting tired of this foolishness
This question is so stupid
as well as the argument
Give it a rest let's move on to a real issue

Maccain should be in a retirement home period.

He'll only hear it if he sleeps with his hearing aid in and on!

Me too!! Me too!!

How about some original ideas?

HE'S THE BEST AT 3 A.M. IF THE PHONE RINGS AT 3AM AND MCLAME IS THE PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH WILL ANSWER IT.

Security is McCain's strong suit. I can only hope that Democrats try to go toe-to-toe with him on it. And of the two Democrats, Obama is the far more formidable candidate.

Sure Mac. If you say so.

McCain is seriously misguided. Honnestly what has 'he' actually done on foreign policy other than being a war veteran? I don't understand how this is guy is suddenly the foreign policy expert? What international diplomatic missions has he succeeded in that put him in a better position than Clinton or Obama? Fighting in a war doesn't make him an automatic foreign policy leader if anything it probably has a negative personal effect which will ultimately effect his judgement.

Well. John, your phone will not ever be ringing in the
White House on Pennsylvania Ave.because you will
not be winning this race.

Republicans and the cronies that represent our people
have just about overdone your welcome in the Senate
and Congress. Go independant if you want to stay in
Politics. Bush ruined it for all of you: not that you are not
also responsible for the mess you have made.

No more big shots for me.

OBAMA 2008

Probably, but it's the other 23 hours that scare us

Actually bond it's $12 billion dollars a month, but your point is so very true and valid. McCain is a war monger just like Bush. He wants to take his revenge from being an 8 year P.O.W. out on the next country that "crosses us", and maybe stay there for a 100 plus years doing so. He's a bully just like Bush is a bully. And plus he's 71-years-old. People can say age doesn't play a factor but most Americans know that it does. This is not discriminatory towards the elderly, it's just when I'm that age I hope to be retired and enjoying life, NOT TRYING TO RUN THE MOST POWERFUL COUNTRY IN THE WORLD…FOR THE FIRST TIME!

And it's so easy to say let's continue with the war when you don't have sons, daughters, and relatives over there fighting and dying for a lost cause.

Hillary started this mess. If any of them are not ready to pick up the phone at 3:00am, we're all in trouble. Hell, just hire a 3:00am phone operator, let him/her pick up the phone. Jeesh–this is silly.

You Rock McCain! Notice the only one not resorting to copying other people's ads and simply changing a few things to use them for himself. That's our next President! Woo Hoo!

McCain is great. He will keep our taxes low , keep us safe, and our government small. You want a stronger environment, and more money for yourself, don't vote for a liberal democrat.

Hey democrats, we had an experiment of which system works best between socialism (democrat's dream) and capitalism with low taxes (republican's dream) and it was Korea.

North Korea lost the argument. Wake up democrats. Tip for those on the left, if you want to increase the tax revenue you need to lower taxes not increase them.

Why, because the tax base shrinks when you punish business!

sorry bond is it 12 billion dollars or 12 milliion dollars? the republicans are killing that country. texas for Obama!

Hillary has defined herself in a way that ensures she will always be considered a fledgling beside John McCain. The only candidate capable of drawing a contrast in this race that is favorable to the Democrats is Barack Obama.

CHARLOTTE–This post is not about Obama, but since you mention it, HRC does not want to compare her record of making mistakes against his.

Charlotte, are you really comparing a property deal gone wrong to a war in a Iraq that has cost thousands of soldiers their lives? Honestly? I would rather him make a bad deal with Rezco and make the right judgment on the war, than vice versa. Properties come and go but the life of a humans being doesn't.

John McCain seems to forget that legislative experience does not equal executive experience.

Quit worrying about McCain, it won't be him answering the phone. It will be Hillary!

McCain might confuse the red button for the red phone at 3am in the morning and say he thought he heard a bomb ringing in his ears. He's just too old.

How could anyone but McCain claim they are the most equipped to handle that phone call.

If there was a threat to our national security Obama would do what? Give a 3AM rally speech. Clinton would hide our troops and try to offer everyone attacking us cheap healthcare.

McCrypt couldn't find the phone at 3 AM!

it is so fun to watch the democrat party supporters on this CNN site make such fools of themselves. rush is right, let us watch the dems tear the heck out of each other, while the only man left qualified stands tall and presidential. John McCain, the President we will trust to keep us safe.

Right John …. By the time you and your Cane get to the phone, there will be no one on the other end and they will have called Hillary!

America doesn't need Old Men and More War Mongers who enjoy spending Trillions to hear the noise of guns and IUD in the distance!
Just put in a War CD for entertainment and save all Nato's Economies!

Well if Hillary isn't the Democratic nominee, McCain gets my vote. I certainly trust John McCain to protect our country more than Barack Obama! McCain was in a prisoner of war camp while BO was doing his drugs!

There's only one way to settle this - call each candidate at 3 am and see who's most coherent.

Hey my friend, you'd better step aside
What does make you think you got better judgment than a 46-year-old man. Experience u gonna respond?
And see what your experience takes us, to a illegitimated war in Iraq
It's time to turn the page and let a new generation to take the lead of this country. The worse is you are going the same methods as the jerk G. Bush …

has he been up @ 3a.m. in the last ten years?
(except to go to the bathroom)

He's what I call him way over the hill!

Of course he is, he's already be up three times to pee.

OLD FART

WITH SHAKING LEGGS? HOW OLD MAN?

Obama '08

Mccain- '74

Go JOHNNY!~ Now make Huckabee your running mate so you can get the conservative vote and we're set!

Were Hillary in Obama's shoes, the calls for his suspension of the race would be loud and deafening. But, of course, he is Obama running for office in USA and must justify his name, religion, pastors, friends, speeches, patriotism, wife's thesis, failure to attend senate meetings while campaigning for office, etc.

I am surprised they have not asked him to justify how he got into Harvard. But that too is just a question of time.

Joke McCain he so tired he has taken several weekends off, What will he do after a few stressful months in the Whitehouse go to his texas ranch for long periods OH OH that was Bush in his first term. Looks like McCain and Bush are trending into identical twins.
This must be ther biggest laugh since McCain called himself a LIBERAL.

I AM REALLY UPSET BY THESE IDIOTIC COMMENTS REGARDING McCains age. He being 72 at inaugration, Reagan was 75 on his second, ADENAUER in Gernany 89 when he retired,Greenspan 76 or more, as is the much admired Warren Buffet.

if somebody is interested I am 77 abd executive Chairman of a Public company,

I will only repeated what Ronald Reagan 75 answered to a moderator
during a presidential debate with Walter Mondale asking him regarding his age:

" Yes, I acknowledge this fact. BUT I PROMISE NOT TO ABUSE OF THIS MY ADVANTAGE DURING TODAY'S DEBATE"

TOM

McCain if it TAKES you this LONG to get on this 3am kick, then I sure as heck don't want you running this country.

HOW LONG AGO WAS THIS 3AM STATEMENT MADE??????

sLoW oLd MaN.

Obama 08

McCain is up at 3 a.m. because he takes his daily nap during the day after watching Matlock.

You Obama supporters are horrible bigots! My God, you act as if 70 is old and all 70 year olds should be treated like dirt. Remember that when you hit this age, because you probably will, and I hope someone treats you with this type of lack of respect. Only in America do we throw away people over 65. Other countries are smart enough to learn from and respect these valuable leaders. Check yourselves! The younger generation has ZERO respect for anyone or anything, including God. This will be the demise of this country. SHAPE UP!

Robert Whale March 3rd, 2008 7:26 pm ET

Shucks, 3 a.m. is for pantywaists. What we are all dying to know is who is the best at picking up the phone at 4 a.m.? That's where we separate the men from the boys. And more to the point, how would they describe their phone-picking up technique? A manly thrust of the arm and a grunt? A crisp and decisive lift? A snappy movement like a military salute that thrills all patriotic Americans to their red, white and blue socks?

LMAO……the best post on the ticker to date….

I agree, its a bit old already……….

I'm sure he'd be great answering the phone at 3 am, after all, that's when the old folks get up anyway. What happens at 3 PM during his afternoon nap is another story…

I am a democrat but McCain better beat CLinton if she wins the nomination, because she is deceitful and racist. She claims false experience by being the first lady. She cries everytime she loses and a president can not do that. GROW UP Hillary. You should not be the first woman president, nancy Pelosi is better.

Indeed he is the best at 3AM. When that phone rings and McCain needs to press the big red button, he will not hesitate to invade or nuke Iran or whatever country he deems his enemy. With his amazing history, at 3AM I see John McCain starting no less than a major war in his time in office, leading us down a suicidal path against Iran.

Hero? Yes. Best Leader-either by experience, judgement or example? Hardly. He's just the least bad candidate of an incredibly weak and out of touch GOP Field. So, let him have his Bob Dole moment in the Sun before getting roundly thrashed in the General Election. Vote Obama in 2008!!

go mccain - you are the best candidate with the best history and the best record to keep our country safe in a crisis. I just wish that people would settle down and listen to the actual issues instead of seeing which candidate has the best endorsements or the most money. All of us need to sit down and examine each of the candidates for who they really are and then go from there on their choices. I am only sixteen years old and have more common sense then people half my age. I have been following each of the candidates, write articles on each of them for my school newspaper, and am trying to get into a political program. If i don't know my candidates by now there must be something really wrong with me. I may be a girl but I do not want Hillary Clinton running this country and I do think that we need a change but Barack Obama is not the person to be doing that. John McCain is the best candidate to be running the nation and most of the old people I know ( I am a CNA at a nursing home ) stay up very late into the night and are light sleepers. LOL

Yeah, he would be the best at 3am crisis because he's old and only needs 3 hours of sleep.

I'm sort getting irritated of all this nonsense I'm reading from all of you liberal commenteers on this blog page.
All I see many of you liberals doing is making fun of McCain, rather than attacking him on issues that have substance. Maybe that is because you liberals (and your candidates) have no real substance.
When people make fun of someone, it many times is because they not that person is right and they are wrong.

Check the experience between the three leading contestants (Clinton, Obama, and McCain.) If you view the evidence honestly, you'll have to conclude that McCain has the most experience.

McCain '08

Senator McCain, Of all the money your party spend on COMMERCALS, Why did't you hand it out to the poor and the people who's house beeing taken away from them?

Commercals, don't work or change people mind. I had never seen a Commercial that drive to to go out and buy anything.

LA, CA

The phone would ring a hundred times, get put on hold, and then McCains people would conference in George Bush to make any decision needed.

Well it is wonderful to see that the surge is working.

I am very happy to see our tax dollars go to ensure that the leader of Iran can take a casual stroll through Baghdad.

Give me a break. This war is not the end all and be all for McCain.

Do we have an amendment to our Constitution for setting an age limit for presidential candidates?

No, we don't. Then why do we discriminate the candidates by age here?
President Reagan was 74 to start his second term. His famous speech in 1987 when he was 76, "Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall." marked the end of the Cold War without firing a shot. I would rather have an older leader with great character than a young fool lacking any character or conviction.

If Hillary Clinton is up at 3 am, it's probably because she can't find Bill, not because she's working late or handling a crisis. I trust Barack Obama to answer the phone in the White House at any hour. You would thlnk, after all he suffered in Vietnam, that Sen. McCain would do his utmost not to send our sons and daughters to a similar debacle. Like Hillary Clinton, McCain wasn't thinking of the best interests of our country or our troops - he voted for the war out of political expedience. The Straight Talk Express is neither.

Sadly…..I do not think McCain is the man for the job, but if Hillary Clinton somehow gets the Democratic nod after all her whining and divisiveness…….I would switch sides and vote McCain!

I still want to know who calls the White House at 3 A.M. and actually gets the President. Wouldn't it be more intelligent to call someone who will actually fix the problem? haha.

Well Hillary isn't in Obama's Shoes or John's Shoes she's in her Shoes and her Shoes are Made for Walkin into the White House.

And Americans know as well as I do, she is the most dependable to get the jobs required done, has the know how to do them, and won't quit till she succeeds in making life better for ALL AMERICANS.
She can DO IT and has Proven it already. Neither of her opponents have that track record, not even John McCain with his years in politics..

How about a 25 mile bike race between 72 year old Dr. Ron Paul, and 71 year old John McCain? In a winner take all for the nomination, debate race. Must be broadcast live on CSPAN so we get some good fair and balanced questions. My money will be on the good Dr. for his debate answers, and to win this race.

If the phone rang at 3 AM and McCain answered, that right there would be the start of Armagedon.

Caller at 3AM: The Syrians have just invaded Israel

McCain: Bomb Iraq! 100 years!

I respect McCain as a hero, but he is WAY out of step on security issues. We need a leader without tunnel vision.

Hillary 08

That's when all the backroom deals are done.

Hillary is the one I want answering the phones!

I'm voting for her!

Pennsylvania for Hillary!
bringing it all home for her!

I'm waiting for someone to tell the Dems that we were right in 2000. We fought so hard to keep George Bush out of office. All those people who were laughing at us counting chads in Florida, aren't laughing now. And when gas goes up to $4., and it will, you still won't be laughing.

So I find it so hard that anyone could vote for a George Bush Mini-Me. But America does some strange things–I guess we like suffering.

Vote for McCain if you want more casualties, and $6. gas prices.

What is really at risk is a failing economy and the total erossion of the America financial system. McCain and Hillary don't have a clue except for lies and misinformation of the truth. McCain have not been honest with the american people too many lobbyist deal and too many IOU's on the US tax payers to pay the bill.

We have to cut spending and reduce our dependency on foriegn oil. Lowering the cost of living for the average American and increase exports. Greed will cause the US economy to fail. If McCain and Hillary not prepared to fix this problem we all need to learn spanish because will well all be like Mexican working for food and homeless.

This is what Bush did for me..

Why does Hillary have to answer the phone at 3:00 AM? It's because it's Bill on the other end of the line asking her to please open the door! Joking aside, I do not think Hillary is qualified to be the commander-in-chief. Just look at how she responded to Obama: "Shame on you, Barack Obama!". I don't think this line will work with the enemies of this country.

SENATOR CLINTON IS THE ONLY ONE I TRUST WHEN THE CALL COMES IN!

I HAVE RESPECT FOR McCAIN BECAUSE OF HIS SERVICE!

I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR OBAMA! HE HAS BAD CHARACTER AND LACKS EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!! ONLY INTERESTED IN BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME!

WE NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN WORK WITH ANYONE FROM ANY PARTY!

THAT MY FRIENDS IS SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE WITH YOU HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!

All you crazy liberals flooding the comment section banging on McCain about how old he is, dumping Clinton because she isn't "fresh", but yet you support someone who has the least experience, who states what he does after something fails (just think, if Iraq was viewed as the best thing in the world… you would be banging on Obama for not voting on it). Obama is a fake, Clinton is about the same.

McCain has the experience and the know-how to lead. Just because he is old, doesn't mean he is slow. He wants a fair fight, and he will win if so.

You see, it took only 5 minutes for Senator McCain to adopt Hillary's negative ad. Face it, you're hurting the Democratic party Hillary and it's time to get out.

It would appear that Senator Clinton is so hell bent on winning the battle and not the war that she has now had the audacity to rank herself and John McCain above her democratic rival Senator Obama in terms of who is best suited to handle a crisis as CINC.

She is either confused or seeking a VP nod from McCain when she loses the Democratic nomination. Never in my life have I seen anything this grotesquely incompetent from a candidate while running against their own party member.

Obama should feel very comfortable now. As Ghandi once said, "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win."

This poor woman has totally lost sight of the prize here. She apparently is so sure she is going to lose, and she will, that she has gone to work for the other side.

Just wondering what the fascination with this subject is. Any president, good or bad, can wake up at 3 a.m. Not that big of a deal.

Oh and why do people from other countries like Canada find it necessary to post on these blogs. You aren't Americans, you have no say in how we run our government, so stay out!!!

Obama Richardson 08!!!

Yes, he's been involved in all of the National Security measures for the past thirty years and look where we are now! Look what his dedication to war has gotten us…our plce in the world degraded by illegal wiretapping, torture, ( even he flip flops on that! ) outring CIA agents for olitical gains and lies.

God Bless America! Please let people understand how dangerous John McCain is ! His first response to everything is to bomb it!

Can we please give peace a chance again in America?

Maybe the phone call involves an invasion of McCain's home town in Panama. Drug lords in Columbia organise an invasion of Panama to reinstall Noriega… McCain orders troops in to protect his birth place. Pres. McCain regrets any collateral damage to fellow imigrants who are sent with the CIA to play incessant rock music in an effort to drive South Americans back to their own homes…

McCain would make a good general post Petraeus since that's where all his policies come from. He is completely out of touch on every non military issues. He can't even fake being interested in the economy or social affairs. He is not experienced in dealing with international crisis; an experienced person would not make remarks like "bomb bomb bomb Iran" or hope Castro dies quickly. He's already making unproductive remarks against Russia and Venezuela. He has shown poor judgement any numerous occasions.

John McCain tries very hard to be a good man and do what he thinks is right but he continues to try to walk the fence between the policies of GWB and the intellectual conservative.

There was a time that I would not have doubted he was the best man to handle a "military" crisis. However since he recent ravings about "bomb, bomb, bombing Iran" and his adoption of the Neocon foreign policy, I am genuinely concerned that he is out of touch with reality. Anyone who can joke about starting another war while our men and women are dying in Iraq has a few screws loose.

Hey folks, just remember when it's 3:00 AM in Washington, it's 11:00 AM in Paris, 12:00 PM in Tel Aviv, 1:00 PM in Moscow, 1:30 PM in Tehran, 3:00 PM in Islamabad, 3:30 in New Delhi, and 6:00 PM in Beijing. You got the drift. So for the folks who wonder what a president does a 3:00 AM, you just have to think globally a bit.

CNN aka "Clinton News Network." Do you realize how biased your news reporting have become?

Lonnie- Toledo, Ohio March 3rd, 2008 7:41 pm ET:

"And it's so easy to say let's continue with the war when you don't have sons, daughters, and relatives over there fighting and dying for a lost cause."

This is completely false. Mccain has a son serving in Iraq.

Clinton had said on a campaign trail in Texas that McCain has an enormous amount of experience, as well as herself, but not Senator Obama. I guess McCain will use this execuse to run Clinton over with her own words!

Ohio for Obama!

SIMPLE PREDICTIONS:
HRC WILL NOT STOP OBAMA'S MOMENTUM NOR WILL SHE WIN THE NOMINATION, PERIOD. FOR SURE, TOMORROW IS HER LAST DAY, PERIOD.
AND MCCAIN WILL NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER, PERIOD.

THE END.

Call the police!!!! Obama just stole Hillary Clinton's 3 am Commerical!!!
