CNN

Way to GO JOHN BOY! Get that media attention where it really counts and start raking in the money. Were going to need all the lull time we can get while old Hillary and Obama keep going at one another. Stop giving any foreign policy props to Hillary, she doesn't have any and you know it. McCain defeater of the democrat's divider and uniter.

My god look at that picture. Looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost (my friends).

Come on Wolf!! Stop looking at just your networks ratings!! You know Florida and Michigan is going to be a stinker!!! The closer Barack Obama gets closer to the nomination the more the media show's it's true colors!! If Hillary gets this nomination because of Florida and Michigan it won't be fair!! Rules are Rules BUDDY!! and you know it!! I wonder why you failed to mention in your interview with Gov. Christ Thursday the Shady side of his actions?? Anderson at least brought it up last night!! What's really going on in your Situation Room!!!

Say Hello to Tony for me, when you go to Europe...

The best Leader Britain ever had...

McCain is angelic! Just look at how he gives off light from his head!

Or is he just a Gloworm? Hmm.

Maybe the first thing McCain can address at the town meeting is why in the debates he described waterboarding as torture and stated that it had no place in the way America operates and then voted against the Senate bill requiring the intelligence community to abide by the same standards as articulated in the Army Field Manual and banning waterboarding.

If one cannot trust him on so simply a moral issue, how can one trust him about anything?

bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!!!!!!!!
go away war monger

It doesn't matter, the only way McCain gets my vote is if Hillary is the Dem. nominee. Then you will see a galactic surge toward McCain.

Hi,
For one thing the Democrats are not "brawling"..... Dont be so dramatic. What is happening is exciting. This is the most civil I've ever seen a campaign run. There is a whole country who is deciding this election.

We are NOT safe but the damage is already done. So McSame traveling around will surly give him a better, if he doesn't know it already, oh yeah, like Bu$h didn't know the price of gasoline... How did he make his millions.... anyway, that's another messed up story, idea how his commander in chief has devastated this nation. I know I know he didn't do it alone, he had Dick by hi$ $ide

Your statement that McCains campaign is aware of the PERCEPTION that the economy is weak... WAKE UP.... Our economy SUCKS. There is no perception, oh shucks it looks like it will, maybe not yet, blah blah blah ... ENOUGH!! We're (the People) circling the drain here. What part doesn't he get. Oh wait, he talks to Bu$h.., You know, I can't even get my self to call him president.

So the point is, WHOEVER gets in there, needs to get us out! (of iraq)
And from what McShame has said he agrees with Bu$h...Bad for us..
Still.....

SENATOR CLINTON WILL BE HIS COMPETITION!

OBAMA HAS TOO MUCH SCANDAL!

THE PEOPLE PROVED TUESDAY WHO THEY WANT!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sen John McCain is a good man, was a prisoner of war in Vietnam, he could handle the stress of president but at 72 years old that enough for anybody, but if he can do it go for it. PDWS

There's no strategy, new or old, that will work for McCain... He's just not going to get the White House...Hope he enjoys his 15 minutes.

After watching CNN last night and seeing how much the Republicans are enjoying this and how it is going to make McCain's campaign so much easier…

If you watched last night they pointed out that Obama is the easier candidate to beat and that the "math" actually favors Clinton… The states that she has carried hold more electoral college votes… Both of them were cut off before they gave up to much information!!! Are the republicans fanning the flame???

No matter how John McCain frames his campaign, he represents the status quo...republican politics as usual! During the last 7+ years, the Republican Administration has decimated our economy, created programs that has devalued the American Dollar (look at the exchange rates), fueled the flames of international distrust, killed thousands of Americans in Iraq and Afghanastan and dishonored the Bill of Rights...And McCain wants to continue the economic policies of the Bush administration and yet he freely admits that he knows little about the economy...quite simply, ask yourself, " are you better off now than you were in 2000?"...I don't think so!...I want change, a new look at the way we do things and I am a Republican!!!

Seems like smart politics to this Clinton supporter.

It is time to go on Hillary's 35 years of foreign experience.
Nobody is better than McCain to challenge her on it.

Unfortunately, that is what she has become lately. Hillary is so hungry for power and control that she will use any tactics available to try to get in the white house. This of course is dividing the democratic voters and helping the republicans. We as democrats are not looking at the real big picture and the real objective here. The best candidate to beat McCain in Nov 08 is Obama. He is the one the republican fear the most. The objective for us should be to get the republican party our of the white house and start fixing America. To do that we need to stop fighting among ourselves and put our support behind the only person that can get us there, and that is Obama. He is not perfect, but he is a much better choice that Hillary if we want to defeat the republicans. Let give Obama our support and give him big percentages win in the upcoming states primaries and caucases to send that message loud and clear.

plz post my comment that is awaiting moderation. I think its a well thought out comment as opposed to the very random comments that you have posted on other articles

You see?

Senator Mccain is now running for President, while Hillary Clinton forces the Democratic party to tear itself apart with all this ridiculous infighting.

What stratagy can change the fact that this man is an adulterer and a liar who used his political office to save his drug addicted millionairess wife from criminal charges!
This man is entirely lacking in character. Bring back HUCKABEE!

I like obama i dislike Hillary i may vot for McCain

He will need all the strategy he can muster. But Clinton wilk stil
defeat him.

No strategy will work. Clinton will beat him no matter what he tries.

Odd how the media kept stating he should go overseas to display his military strength. He can start meeting with other countries while Obama wastes everyone's time here. Obama needs to drop out. He can't win without SDs and he is ruining the democratic party. Half the voters can not stand him and think he is unqualified for the job. Half the voters are not buying the happpy hope schtick and he is to weak to serve as commander and chief.

Boy those democrats need to hurry up and pick a nominee or our goose is gona be cooked

Now that he has been endorsed by Bush he is toast anyway.

RON PAUL IS STILL RUNNING!
What the heck do we have to do, stand in protest in front of your studios?! Stop spreading lies!

As a moderate Republican I will never vote for this man. Anyone who chooses illegal alien rights over the rights of US citizens is no friend to this country. He needs to start fighting for America and its workers and stop lip servicing about how jobs are gone and how workers should learn new skills. Kinda hard to go back to college if you were just laid off and have no money to pay the ever increasing tuition. Republicans need an 8 year time-out in the corner to reflect on the multitude of poor choices and incompetence of the past 8 years and McCain will be the sacrificial lamb to that effect.

Does CNN's Dana Bush not have a spell checker, a grammar checker, or an editor?

the planning insists is will be “bold”

Many people know McCain as he maverick senator,

Shame Shame Shame

At least we know what we are getting with McCain, a proven leader with a solid record. The American people have a short memory when it comes to history, we seem to live in the now and don't take in account what has got us here. McCain would have been a better president than Bush, Bush had no experience like Obama has no experience. People forget who was in charge pre-Bush and 911, and the events leading up to 911....it was a weak security government created by Clintion adminstration. True, Iraq was a mistake, but the information (Clinton lackeys) provided to Bush (inexperience) created this whole mess. I hope we don't make the same mistake by electing a Clinton or Obama with no experience. We can't afford to experiment with our future and lives.

OMG – not Phil Gramm. C'mon John, we're headed for a major recession, if not the next depression. You need someone with a vision, not someone who is as clueless as you are.

McCain can do anything and everything, but if he would not pledge "no amnesty" for illegal aliens, he is going to lose this election against any democrat candidates.
His "I got the message" still was not clarified. We know, he was a "creator" of comprehensive immigration reform together with Sen. Kennedy, which citizens of USA had rejected.
I don't see why people, who have the illegal immigration issue as the one of main issues of this election, would vote for 72 year old with big health problems. The "no amnesty" and also “no free trade” are things that would make Independents, like me, vote for him and not for Democrats.

McCain will be successful in the general election in that he will absorb a fraction of the voters that refuse to support one of the two democratic candidates. McCain is truly a moderate conservative, and some of his views align quite well with democratic voters. All the people who have been saying McCain will be a 3rd Bush term couldn't be more wrong, with the exception of his policies in Iraq.

I believe all 3 remaining presidential candidates would be good for the country.

Check out:

Chicago Sun Times 3/1/08

Can someone tell the writer of the "On the Trail" bit that Hattiesburg is in Mississippi, not Missouri!

It says Hillary Clinton is attending a campaign event in Hattiesburg, Missouri. Should be Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Well, let us see how Hillary (who like McCain) who voted for the war, whose husband failed to serve in combat, who will NEVER be respected by the Middle East leaders (as these people have do NOT a policy of gender equality) can now respond to McCain.

Oh, do not forget, the Republicans have other tools to nail Hillary within a month of any campaign that involves her and another Republican! The Dems are going to lose this again, by giving so much to the Clintons!! Some of us wish them all the best

McCain is at his best when he is fighting as an underdog. He has a lot of time to address Republican concerns and garner his support. He is also very fortunate that he has a lot of time to raise money without needing to spend heavily in a heated contest like the democrats are currently doing.

That is a fascinating story, CNN.

But, what about Clinton hidding her tax returns?

Will the best political team in television address the issue tonight?

when 2 fight, the third one wins.

This is going to be interesting.... to see how McCain is going to help one of the democratic candidates... watching CNN and MSNBC last night all of the republican analyists agreed that Obama was the easier candidate to beat!!!

Strategy Changes Checklist

1) Start making weekly visits to Bob Jones University

2) Be sure that the media films you attending church every Sunday from now until November

3) Visit Kansas and denounce evolution, claiming that dinosaur fossils were put in the ground by scientists who hate god.

If McCain can't draw out the evangelical voters, 2008 will be the biggest landslide in U.S. history; regardless of whether it is Clinton or Obama who is running against him. "Help me Jerry Falwell, you're my only hope."

Reading from Iraq.

CNN// Take some time to proof your submission for simple errors.

All John has to say is what George Bush said the other day, "if you want continued peace and prosperity, vote Republican".

That comment should make Saturday Night Live!

For the possibility of Hillary not being nominated, I watched an interview today with John McCain in Atlanta, Georga. We have 3 candidates 2 with age brings wisdom and a child running against 2 adults. I am changing my vote to Republican John McCain should it come to inexperience vs Extreme Experience.

I think one of the challenges McCain faces is to remain in the news now that he clinched the nomination. Most of the political news is going to be about the Democrats because of the tight race. It will be interesting to see what the McCain camp does to offset this.

If McCain really wants to impress me- someone who is torn between Obama and McCain- he should simply go back to work in Congress. As far as I know, he is still a Senator drawing a congressional paycheck that is provided to him by the taxpaying public. This world-wide tour and domestic book tour is a total turn-off to me. It seems as if he already believes he is the president and is skipping on his congressional duties. I know this is an election year and I don't expect the candidates to spend all of their time in Congress, but he has the nomination shored up and there is still important work that needs to be done this year. The best place for McCain to be right now is in Congress trying to figure out a solution to this economic mess we are in. I personally believe that would speak more to the public than anything else- it would show the se is serious about his job and really does love his country while Obama and Clinton are still out campaigning.

This is great for Mccain! This enables him to show everyone what he is made of and that just because he is a Republican doesnt mean he will be just like Bush, like the democrats are playing him off to be. Mccain can be a great leader and has many years behind him in a place of leadership. He does want things to change and has some great ideas. Going on these tours hopefully will show the people of the US that some of his ideas can be very beneficial to a large majority of people and hopefully media groups like CNN will keep his activities in the spotlight that the democrats seem to be taking over with their bickering. Mccain has substance, experience, great new ideas, and the leadership to make some change in this country, Change that will be for the good of the United States people and not change that is is not thought through or planned out with the knowledge of its effects like the Democrats are calling for.

The great irony of this year's presidential race is that, while the American people are desperately seeking a change from the old-style partisan politics of Washington, they seem to be overlooking the one candidate who has dedicated his life to this cause. McCain '08

Being concerned about the other 95% of America would be a welcomed change of strategy.

McCain is a true American hero. I hope he wants Michigan and Florida's votes to count–our nation is a democracy. We are fighting for more countries to become democratic but now because of some silly Party rules, we are not allowing some 5+ million people to be heard. Doesn't sound very democratic, does it??

It is great, that John McCain is get nomination form Republican party. I hope that all nation will look at him, when he will be abroad and also in USA. Because than we all can learn how expierenced he is, how smart he is and how workable he is. John has more than 20 years expierence in Senate, also in foreign policy. So he is the best candidate to president of America!

Go McCain, Go!!!

I think this is one of Billary's main objectives – she knows she cannot win the nomination so she is aiding McCain a) by almost endorsing McCain when she says that McCain would be 'a better president than Obama' and b) by giving McCain the time to create a new self image.

She knows she blew this primary and is now preparing for 2012 (hoping that Obama will fall with all the anti-democratic-party roadblocks she is spreading.

I hope the superDs cut her off asap .... this Billary is a menace !

McCain who I like is loosing ground with me because of the fact he will have to bow down to special interests coming from the GOP. I still like him better than Clinton, but not Obama.

Independent for Obama

Big Bad John WAYNE McCain is master of his domain and the entire campaign.

I don't think he should pick Gov. Christie of Florida as his VP, cause Christie is using the denial of Florida votes by the DNC as his rallying cry to be seen as a champion of the voters when , in fact, Christie knowingly violated the rules. We need leaders who will abide by rules, cause this is a country that runs with the rule of law.

Christie et all don't want McCain to face Obama, cause they think Obama will defeat McCain. Garbage. Opinion polls change as we get to know candidates.

BTW, if Florida and Michigan re-do their votes, doesn't this mean that all the candidates who were still in the race at the time wil have to be placed again on ballots? Example, John Edwards!

The issue of Florida & Michigan Primary should be a separate issue. Florida was decided by a Republican Majority House, Senate & Governor there for they should be counted, recognized & seated as is. Michigan on the other hand is a Democrat Legislators & Governor they should not be seated.

John McCain is a strong republican nominee. But I still hope, the democrats will surprise him with: OBAMA – RICHARDSON !!!

LET`S GO: OBAMA – RICHARDSON 08 !

Why Is the Media not calling the Black Votes Raciest when more than 90% of Blacks of all ages and gender are voting for Obama? No other groups are voting one sided except the Blacks.

I,for one, will be glad when this circus is over.What we are watching is
nothing more than theater. So McCain is going to visit world leaders,and do extensive traveling. So what? Does this make him more qualified to be president?
As far as world opinion is concerned, the people all over the globe would rather see Obama, because he represents a breath of fresh air in American politics.
The world sees us a a giant bully whose foreign policy is this.Either do as we say, or(I borrow this line from Barry Goldwater) we will bomb you back to the stone age!)
Obama might not be able to change the way the financial moguls run our government, but he is the only one of the three who will actually try

Good for Senator McCain, not that he is going to be president anyways. He is experience and all but we aren't sure he will live as long as his mother, or father. This is not a matter of ageism but facts. Clinton is going around saying that she is more ready to be commander and chief than Obama when she have no experience more than he. I wonder what she will say of McCain. He is old but he is also the most experience. I'm sure either of them IQ is not as strong as it was when they were younger that's why they made the wrong choice on the war. Obama made the right choice, He is more than ready to be commander and cheif. He is ready to serve us.

Please proofread. Spell check won't find a couple of the errors that provide contextual problems. The point of the article is correct though. McCain only stands to benefit from the sidelines while the Democrat Party turns into the Donner party.

Why would Hillary's campaign invoke the name of Ken Starr? Perfect fodder for the Obama campaign to say "Do we really want to re-visit the melodramatic soap opera that was the White House during the 90's?"

Have a great day!

Chip

HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT BE LONG,WITH ALL THE SCANDAL AND LYING DONE BY OBAMA, FOR HIM TO BE GONE!!!!!!!

IT CAN ONLY GET WORSE FROM HERE!

HE CAUSED IT HIMSELF!

THEN WE CAN GET ON WITH THIS CAMPAIGN! BEETWEEN SENATORS CLINTON AND McCAIN!!!!!

I AM ROOTING FOR SENATOR CLINTON!!!!!!!!!

I have read McCain's book, he is a man that is very inspiring, a man that I would like my children to grow up to be. I admire and respect McCain very much.

LET ME SAY IT AGAIN

No one needs to be reminded of McCain's honorable service. But Hillary Clinton and John McCain JUST DON'T GET IT – this is not about them – this is about the American people – their dreams, their hopes and aspirations.

This is about how and who can take America in a fundamentally new direction, re-write the outdated Washington textbook and change failed conventional wisdom. Only one person is capable of doing that.

Barack Obama is an inspirational figure based on his background and experiences. There's no American story more inspiring.

To further my point, I just noticed that in the Categories column Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards are all represented even though many dropped out months ago. Where is the name of the other candidate still part of the republican race? That Ron Paul guy. Shouldn't CNN make some kind of a statement defending their actions?

P.S. In previous comment "molding the minds of the public" was what I meant to write.

since there's no more room on the superdelegates article...

i'm shocked at how ignorant everyone is about the facts. both candidates were on the ballot in florida and no one campaigned there. hillary won.

hrc was the only one on the ballot in michigan, but an "uncommited" vote was optional and hillary won that.

*even BO himself has said that he wants the delegates seated and will leave it up to the DNC to figure how to do it best.*

try reading real news (AP) and get your facts straight before posting.
