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. Unfortunately, that is what she has become lately.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
