CNN

Very Presidential video from McCain. Lets see the Dems. have Obama girl.

Nobody lives a Hundred Years, in the Armed Forces... Why are people freaking out?

He made a statement, that's all.. But if it is a long haul, then he's the Man!!

I used to scoff at the " Reagan Republicans ".
Now I'm ready to proudly stand with John Mccain.
He's survived brutal torture and countless years in Congress.

The Democratic Party is no longer a home to me.
Its run by special interests (not mine for sure ).
Dewey-eyed Liberals like Pelosi Kennedy and Kerry turn my stomach.

I LOOK FORWARD TO THE TROUNCING MCCAIN'S GONNA GIVE THE DEMOCRAT AIR BAGS!

Certainly an American hero, not the best politician, but he is the chosen candidate of the Republican party. And certainly the fact that he served in the military and he has two children currently in uniform does a lot for his campaign and I think it shows that he really does believe that staying in Iraq is best for our country. He is willing to risk his sons lives to protect America and that says a lot about the man, because obviously the war is not overly popular at the moment. This ad shows his courage and patriotism and is a stark contrast to Senator Obama who refuses to place his had on his heart during the pledge and Michelle Obama who has never been proud of her country until Obama began to win primaries.

I lost all respect for McCain when I saw the picture of him being kissed by Bush. I can't understand how a man could let Bush roll over him and his family, then stand there while Bush slobbers all over him. At some point in time you just have to have some self respect.

Dems just can see the forest through the trees. McCain will win because you guys cannot even get your nomination process right. How are we to trust a party thats nomination process is so complicated, I guess we can expect health care to be the same way, thanks but no thanks. Oh and what about Florida and Michigan? Just a mess.

The ignorance of some of the people on here is amazing....

The part that scares me about our great country is people who vote based on what they see other people doing.

Half the people who have commented on here I'm betting haven't visited any of the candidates' websites and have no idea where they stand on the issues.

Sad.

Why do you Democrats continue to misrepresent what McCain said about being in Iraq for 100 years? He pointed out that we still have forces in Japan and Korea for over 50 years and we're not fighting a war there now. He also said that all Americans want the US out of Iraq, it's just how we leave that matters. I believed from the beginning that invading Iraq was a huge mistake, but we're there now and just packing up and leaving would be an even greater disaster.

John McCain will be the next president of the United States.

i think uncle Sam above summarizes my opinion about Senator McCain. Enough said, and I hope every American reads and considers it.

“John McCain. The American president Amercans have been waiting for.” Wow, the doublespeak insanity from the [R] side continues.

I think the only Americans "waiting for " 100 more years of involvement in Iraq are the ones contributing to the current disaster-in-charge's 30% approval rating. Some people don't know how to live in a modern democracy that embrces the Enlightenment. They would much rather see us devolve back into the Dark Ages. They are the Cheney supporters, the Rush listeners, the Bush worshipers, and the moral hypocrites. If you vote [R] this presidential election, you are flushing your country down the toilet.

This is Hallarious, we all know that John McCain has no intention of helping us "poor" americans, I used to like him, but when i realized he going to run this country like the current administration, we are in trouble big time.

it dont take a rocket science to figure out the economy, stop the war, then we will have the resources to fund this country, you cant have your cake (the war) and your ice cream (a good economy) at the same time.

A real american hero is someone who will sacrifice himself for the sake of the common good. Let's see him take a chance and part with the way things have been done in the past and stand up for what American needs. The president that America wants is the one who is going to actually do something about the problems we are facing here at home, help our economy get back on track, stop lining the big energy companies pockets with the money we need to feed our children, and most importantly, get our troops who have done an outstanding job home as soon as possible. The best way to protect America is to strengthen it internally, rebuild our military to protect the country, and act like the super power we are supposed to be. Let's see someone willing to stand up and dare to change the problems in the past, instead of ignoring them and saying everything is good.

hmmm, when the war in iraq started it was favored by more than 70% of this country's voting population. now that this country's citizens let it's myopic understanding of foreign affairs put it in a hole, financially and politically, let's all bail because it appears to be the easy thing to do. anybody who thought this would be a quick war and supported it was/is a fool. some say don't live in the past but those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it. ignoring the past is why we're in this stupid war. i can understand why dems don't want to bring up the past, jimmy carter and vietnam. jesus freaks to the right and value-less, it's all relative to the left while the middle continues to get the shaft.

I would like to add one more comment which you probably won't print anyway, but here it is anyway.
McCain was not shot down in Viet nam. There is a great differance being shot down and being brought down. If he had been shot down, he would not be alive today.His plane was brought down and he landed safely.
Why is he such a hero? He came out of the war alive!

America needs a President who "believes" (in spite of the reality) that everything is hunky dory like a hole in the head.

"Because sometimes it's easier to hold on to your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your own ignorance... That's America." Michelle Obama

It's about Patriotism... stupid.

No choice. Obama is as racist as is his wife and preacher. That is not the America I want my children growing up in.

A man of integrity and honor vs. Obama.

"READY ON DAY ONE"
Yeah right "READY ON DAY ONE TO BOMB IRAN"

Let's not forget this is the man making that funny little joke on the campaign trail not to long ago. BOMB BO

Anyone can beat john McCain, all they need is a good plan to end the war and a economic plan that will get us in the right direct, wait a minute, just ending the war will do the trick, because we will have 12 billion dollars a month to do more productive things.

I like John McCain – I really do – but 4 more years of the same interference policy around the world is not what we need. I'm a Republican who has contributed to the Obama campaign – and plan to support him. The only way McCain will get my vote is if the Dems are foolish enough to put up the divisive Hillary – then he will gain my support....

I am a Canadian and have always taken a keen interest in American Politics. I am very much surprise and rather shock to see that the leadership in the democratic party is allowing "The Clintons" to destroy the party. Ms. Clinton appears to be ready to burn the village, wipe-out the city and the country to get the nomination. This attitude of "By any means necessary" is counter productive to the party and the country as a whole. If Ms Clinton is elected president, I have no doubth she'll be the third term to Bush..... the country and the world will be further divided and polarized.
Please could some give me a graceful way out before she destroy the rest of us............
This country and the world need healing....... and nothing about Ms Clinton suggest remotely that she is capable.

I love watching how people think that the democratic plan to pull us out of Iraq is going to actually work. Elect a democrat they will pull us out starting day one. Then watch as iraq crumbles and insurgents get sent in more and more and the ones that arent withdrawn are forced to fight harder and then we send back more troops to help them out....it goes downhill. There is no easy way out of this folks. There is no quick way out either. Even with a democratic president, my money is on the fact that we will be over there another 5-10 years at least cleaning things up. Last thing a president wants is egg on their face for saying we are done, leaving and then having the rest of the world watch as they were completely wrong. Cause then we will be blamed even harsher by the world for leaving a huge mess and being gutless to finish it. Think the terrorist attacks are over? Think that leaving iraq will make us safer? Highly doubtful. We could see another 9/11 faster than we think.

NOT getting my VOTE!!!!! Don't need a McBush!!!!!

We need to see MORE of John McCain. McCain must be in the NEWS more often. The Clinton-Obama campaign has taken up too much space and mention online.

He better come up with better ads than that if he thinks he's gonna win. I'm a veteran to, we use to call that SOS.

Rock on, OBAMA 08

Obama's a product of the Hip-hop fad/generation we're going through.

NOT cool.

This election is too important kiddo's. Get educated in what matters.

Obama and his spineless opportunist minions will pale before mccain. FACT. (and im a democrat)

we MUST appoint hillary before its too late!

dont let the kids who've been into politics 5 minutes decide this election. it is TOO IMPORTANT.

I would vote for scooby doo before I voted for John Mccain and his Iraq war., Bush tax cuts for the rich, and "wait and see" approach to our econmic crisis. THis "in your face" patriotism is something i vehemently oppose. Im not saying JOhn Mccain is a patriot. Im saying wrapping yourslef in the flag doesnt make you a patriot. Give me a president wholoves his country enough to criticize it when it goes astray from the principles it was founded on and do his best to get it back on track.

McCain WILL beat Obama and his army of spineless opportunist cry-babies (dodd, richardson, pelosi, etc)

FACT.

(go hillary/mccain)

When McCain says he wants to protect America, how does he define America? Is he talking about trees, lakes,mountains or buildings? Or is he talking about American lives?
If he is talking about American lives, how about the 4000 patriotic young
Americans that have been killed because of this shamefull war. Don't they count? He isn't interested in saving more young Americans. They are just numbers.

Reverand Wright served in the Marines. Why don't the Republicans call him a hero who served our country rather than bashing him over the head for calling people names.

ANSWER: His service to the nation, if honorable, is appreciated and his sacrifices to be praised. Don't forget that his prior service to the nation doesn't mean that other American veterans have to respect him.

It is clear, his viewpoints on history are only focused on America's mistakes–and never at America's accomplishments. Unless–it involves a black American that is.

The website of his church says it all. All the banners and colors of Africa–few of the United States including the flag. Clearly lopsided racially biased viewpoints are all over the website–added to the Reverend Wright's astonishing comments–a logical white person would have to connect the dots and draw a picture of a racist leaning organization.

Hero...not to me. His honor as an American and veteran were lost when I heard his words and then confirmed when I checked out his lifes work as evidenced by his church and congregation–and the clearly Africa only message these Americans seem to prefer.

Yeah mister the surge in Iraq is "really" working isn't it!!! Four thousand of our service men/women dead, thousands more injured for life, hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi citizens dead. Why don't we keep pouring gasoline on the fire by pissing the middle east off by keeping American troops on the ground for another 50-100 years hypothetically. I seriously hope that America isn't stuck on stupid enough to put this dude in the White House, if you thought GWB was bad this guy takes the cake! Furthermore anybody reading this thats a democrat willing to chop their nose off to spite their face, I hope you know what you're doing!

No way, no how would I vote for McCain. Can't pull the trigger on this moroon. I haven't forgot about immigration.

Three hundred million people in this country and the race for president has boiled down to these three people?? McCain-Obama- Clinton?
Again?? Why is it almost always a lesser of evils that the American electorate has to choose from? I say 'NO' to all of the above...
Both Dem contenders are shameless and fraudulent liars, and the Rep one is more of the same business as usual.
Please Lord send somebody to run that we can all feel good about!

I as a DEM fear the ADS in MI and FL if BO gets the nod

After BO and his lawyers stopped the recount efforts when money was found to make them work as regular state run primaries

Dems will lose FL and MI – and maybe the whold shooting match

you lost to BUSH, the worst president in the history of the US, yeah right we should vote you into office.
what a joke

Hilliary/ Gore 2008

I became a Republican because of John McCain in 2000. After watching the Democrats blame every evil in the world on President Bush, I'm glad that I left the Party of Victimization. Folks, we are in a Holy War and only the Republicans seem to understand that. Please keep infighting, it will make this November so much easier for the party of the people who actually pay taxes and contribute to charity and actually love this country!

Advertising for yet ANOTHER WARMONGER! my pocket cannot take another term of war. $9/gallon, here we come!

McCain served his country but I feel as do the majority of the country that he is on the wrong side of the issue of the war.

We do not want another four years of Bush.

Obama'08!

Clinton or Obama for me.

McCain is too old school.

70% of us want out of the war. He will not bring the troops home from Iraq. The math is quite simple. Let's pick someone who actually listens to us, instead of tells us what to do.

And don't forget the only one who has not lied or fed you a bowl of puke this election cycle.

John McCain 09, the only one with ACTUAL experience.

"McCain has a bowl of Werther's Originals on his coffee table."

"No Country for Old Men."

This has got to be the funniest blog I have read during the entire campaign - and this is only McCain's FIRST general election ad.

McCain runs 60 second ad in New Mexico......

McCain is now broke.

Clearly McCain's people are going to steal anything and everything from the Clinton campaign that they thought was effective.

McCain....ready on day 1....to attack Iran for supporting Al Qaeda!

McCain...ready on day 1.....to attack Mexico to liberate Texas! (no wait, that was his first war).

McCain..ready on day 1....to let all 4 million foreclosures go forward cause every last one of them is a reckless prospector and there's no such thing as predatory lending.

McCain...ready on day 1....to announce a new military draft to support the 100 year war in Iraq. Draft the homeless! 4 million new recruits ready and waiting!

McBusk is a warrior and will have a war "fighting evil" somewhere in the world as long as he is in office. At lease he has enough sense to realize we cannot sustain a prolonged conflict without backing from other countries. --The " Johnny hotdog" Bush/Cheney approach doesn`t work

i think that richardson, pelosi, dodd, dean amongst others on one side have proved:

One half of the democrats can't stomach very much.

and

One half of democrats have the stomach for a fight.

I know which i'd prefer to be in charge.

While I dislike the Iraq war I will vote for McCain over the liar Hillary anyday. This election is for the democrats to lose, they either pick the candidate with the highest popular votes and delegates or say hi to president McCain.

John McCain is good at the fear tactics,

All the Dems out there, you should think before you vote for this man.
Think about our country, think about our childrens future.

Are we really going to let one man(Bush) tear our great country down to the ground with this war. I have 2 Kids and I dont want them going through war thougout there entire life and maybe there childrens life because we have a few greedy politicians and buisnesses that want to make a fortune at our expense. Think about it.

CALLING ALL DEMS, REP, EVERYBODY.

Lets stop this fighting each other, and wipe those dumb smerks off the faces of the true traitors(Bush, McCain, Big Business, Lobbyist) who are trying to bring us down.

I refuse to allow us to become second rate to China(GREED).
They have chosen to put there buisness and economy before there own health and human rights needs. Thats not what I want America to become. Not for myself or for my children, or for you or your children.

Americans please unite. Lets fight for our country now with our votes instead of later on a battlefield in IRAQ or IRAN.

CNN this is something positve that should be posted. Its your decision.

While I can understand the wealthy and corparate types backing McCain, it is amazing how many Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck, or are seeing their jobs sent overseas, or are without healthcare, will still wrap themselves in the flag along with McCain and fall for the empty Bush words "liberty", "freedom".......7 years of talk that resulted in this senseless war, this economic recession and a sky-rocketing deficit and yet the "victims" of the Bush years will once again follow like sheep to the slaughter. Luckily, I'm teaching my kids to think, but it may be too late by the time they can vote!

Poor John.

He's still a POW and still fighting the Veitnam War...

SO SAD!

Mr McCain would be like having four more years of Bush – same ole stuff just a different day. Can anyone imagine that.

Look out America, this is the 3rd coming of Bush

With all due respect to John McCain's military service and patriotism, we cannot afford another 4 years of Bush!! The U.S. would surely be a 3rd world country.

OBAMA or CLINTON '08

Why does McCain waste his money. He won't have a chance against either candidate.

Democrats for Mc Cain '08

Wow! The ad is terrific! I paid attention, I felt proud, I listened, I understand, I admired and I got motivated. Mccain is definitely the right leader for America today. I trust him and that is more then I can say about all other candidates in this election.

He can run this.....and when the Democrats get it all straightened out – he will loose. Sorry dude!

As McCain is embracing Bush's policies, he's not going to win in November. I'm sorry for him.

Too bad McCain's new ad did not show a clip of one of his trips to
Bermuda on Keating's aircraft-for a week or so in the sun at Keating's
mansion. Did he not learn anything about banking as a member of
the Keating Five?

Was a democrat or republican ad. I can never tell with McCain.

get over the 100 years in iraq he didnt mean war for 100 more years u all know we have had military presence in many countries for 50 – 60 years no war just there 2 help out the same thing he means he said it himself

McCain is a War Hero...He ran a dignified campaign...unlike the Democratic MUD FEST going on right now.

His ad copies BOTH Clinton and Obama.

If Clinton and Obama would have a JOINT ticket...they would SLAUGHTER McCain.

Anyone know if this commercial was closed-captioned for the hearing impaired? Campaign commercials are usually not.

Four more years of the GOP is un-thinkable. I don't care if it's Clinton
or Obama, or some person off the street corner who can walk and talk
at the same time. Dems MUST win, or it's more of the same corrruption and incompetance. It also seems the "surge" is no longer
a success. Read the headlines Mr Bush.

Anybody who's a POW should be respected, but McCain's far from Presidential material. What's he going to do about the economy? What's his plan for balancing the budget? He doesn't deserve a single vote if he can't answer any of these questions! He should also make his medical records public. He could be hiding something about his health that voters wouldn't want to know.

Uncle Sam,

Although Sen. McCain had served his country as a military member, there is a great misunderstanding concern what he did as a POW. As a fighter pilot, well let’s just say he was less than spectacular (he was shot down). Thank God he wasn’t killed. Now to address his volunteering to stay while other POW were permitted to leave, as the senior officer or an officer who was NOT order to leave by his superior officer POW he was required to stay. If he had left before any of his subordinates, he would have been seen as coward. Therefore, he did what he and any other POW was required to do.

Obama is ready on day one not you John McCain. See how many people are dieing in Iraqi. Tell Bush to send her daughters to war in Iraqi. You want to stay in Iraqi for 100yrs more and use our tax money to keep the arms there while people are lossing thier jobs, homes. Gas going higher and higher We can use that money to create jobs.
We don't want Bush in the white house again you are just like Bush

He is an honorable man, To bad the reps put him out there to be sacrificed. No way he is going to win! I almost feel sorry for the guy, although he does put on a good face.

John McCain is still fighting the Vietnam war in his head and this is something you better believe.

McCain's service in Vietnam is commendable. This alone does not qualify him to be president. He served when few would. Given his stance has changed on Bush's foolish tax cuts (how do you expect to pay for the war) and his stance that seems so pro-war, I don't know if the country really wants to deal with that. I believe this is the time that business needs to be reigned in and taught how to behave. The Bush administration has gone so far out of its way to let business do things how it sees fit. That has to stop because business is only intersested in making money at the expense of so many other things including ethics.

Can you believe that Democratic Party zoo ??? snickering

CNN PLEASE POST MY COMMENT!!!!!

This is the person all democrats should be going after not Hillary and not Obama yet we sit here tearing ecah other down while this McSame is getting a free ride from the press. Same person that say stay the course in Iraq and the surge is sucessful and we should keep waiting for the economy to fix itself. Well, McBush not everyone is a millionaire and can afford to wait for the economy to fix itself..I have two friends in Iraq that literally tell me that the type of carnage going on in Iraq is something that have changed them physically, emotionally and spiritually. They don't even sound the same when they manage to call which is not often. I WANT THEM OUT OF IRAQ NOW. ANYONE BUT WARMONGER MCBUSH.

Now that BHO wanted both ways again: He would have left his church had his mentor and hatemonger for 20 years stayed, didn't he just said he could not disown his mentor Wright, just as he cannot disown his white grandmother? Does he disown his mentor or not? Another proof of his hypocrisy, and phony claims.

Good Luck, John! Anyone BUT Obama in 2008!!

If you even think about voting for this guy there is something wrong with you,
how can anybody, after 8 years of Bush want more of the same,
I will never understand that unless you are mentally challenged

Reverand Wright served in the Marines. Why don't the Republicans call him a hero who served our country rather than bashing him over the head for calling people names.

There are many high profile Republicans and Democrats who constantly call names and say things that are offensive. You want a war over who called who what and who said what when we can have that war. But who does that help?

Military Veterans should be honored for their service, but not given false qualifications they have no business handling. Being a prisoner of war does not give you any judgment to lead a country, business, or anything else. If anything, it probably clouds your mind because of the pychological impact.

The more I hear about Rev. Wright the more frightening Obama becomes. The 20 years of mentoring is a form of brain washing. Only after this last round of news, he would have left the church? It is too bad none of this surfaced in the early stages of this election. I just find it hard to believe he can have any supporters left. This country will not elect him if he is the nominee. The republicans need only to point a finger in the direction of Rev. Wright. You can argue all you want about Obama didn't say it, he listened for 20 years. The handwriting is on the wall.

I didn't know America was a woman. And no John, you are the image of a past from which we need to run. I respect your service and experience as a P.O.W. but you are just another George Bush in John McCain's clothes. That's right, you hug him, walk along aimlessly with his flawed policies and talk like him in a different vernacular, and I just can't honor that for another four years. At least Gore was smart enough not to drag Bill Clinton around and distance himself from all his baggage.

EHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUU

isn Mccain just the uglyiest person ever im happy he is a war hero but he is not president material.....he cant even read a telaprompter

Please Mccain, I fear that b/c of all the stress that a US president has to deal with, it will cause him to have a stroke or a heart attack or something...he should be admitted into a retirement home

republican for OBAMA 08

Why are Clinton and McCain promoting the "ready on day one" idea? I know Obama is promoting the "right on day one" thing, if I were running, my slogan would be "ready right now."

"Ready right now" is much better than the day one argument by far.

Oh yeah, he is a leader alright. Will lead America to further destruction by letting the war go on forever. Unfortunately, the republican party has no other candidate to vote for since everyone else dropped out. Pretty pathetic situation.

We need a Democrat back in the White House to fix the mess they made (again). Seems like their modus operandi. WAR WAR WAR is all they can think about. Our country is in more danger now than ever since 9/11. Come on people, wake up and vote DEMOCRAT. And, when and if you do vote for a democratic candidate, that it will be the most knowledgeable and experienced candidate. AND THAT PERSON IS HILLARY CLINTON.

GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sen. McCain is so far above the Democratic pretenders it's laughable.
When you look at experience he WAS dodging bullets, not little girls with poems. When you look at honor, he refused to be released early as a POW before others. Sen. McCain is not only a better Candidate for President, he's a better American!

Ok, he was a prisoner of war, but that does not qualify him to be President or do anything for that matter. You can call him a hero, but being a hero is not a qualification, it's an honor. While I respect him for his military service, Reverand Wright also served our country and you don't see anyone giving him credit.

I wonder how many folks will just nod off while watching it.

This ad sucks.

I propose this instead:

"John McCain, the President America deserves!

When the housing bubble burst, the credit crisis struck and recession loomed, McCain was the first to admit he knows nothing about economics. And true to his word, his proposed solution shows it! Yet still he advances the idea that he has the makings of a President that America needs!

John McCain will be a President who knows and proves that duplicity and stupidity can go hand in hand.

Well, another President who knows and proves duplicity and stupidity go hand in hand..."

Coming soon: John McCain, the Hundred Year Warrior (that's the length of the war he proposes, not his actual age).

McCain,

Do us all a favor and don't use your POW experience as campaign propaganda. Having your million dollar fighter destroyed by being shot down and then failing to properly escape and evade capture does not make you a hero. It just means you failed that particular mission and unfortunately sat out the rest of the war in the Hanoi Hilton.

Heroism and patriotism is doing what is right for your country and taking care of the young americans you've sent to war.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN!!!!!!!!

John Mccain's commercials promise to be the political equivalent of Billy May's OxyClean commercials – on all the time and equally annoying every time you see one.

attention chris matthews! that's what should give you leg chills. no one will ever doubt how john mccain feels about his country!
substance over eloquence anyday!

The President America's been waiting for?

How is he different from the last 7 years?

BTW this ad seems like it's going after Barack and not Hillary.

That's probably because John McCain can do math so he knows he'll be going up against Barack in the general.

I respect John McCain's war history as I do my husband, brother and brother-in-law who all served in Vietnam at the same time, all were injured. However, aren't are soldiers in Iraq prisoners of a war that Pres. Bush declared over 6 years ago who are now serving up to 3 and 4 years in Iraq and McCain has said 100 more years in Iraq. Some of our brave soldiers have died in Iraq never to return home to their loved ones or see their first born child. Mr. McCain in respect to all Vietnam veterans and our soldiers who are serving in Iraq and have died in Iraq, you should pull this ad.

How does John McCain plan on continuing our efforts in Iraq without reinstating the draft? Our military is already stretched thin... what are we going to do ask our troops to perform a 5th, 6th, 7th tour of duty in Iraq?

John got the keys to dads car,but he has to fix four flats and a blown engine.

John McCain remembers the Alamo.

John McCain has a sensible collection of Rockport dress shoes.

John McCain likes to walk the mall.

John McCain sent you a check for $5 for your birthday.

John McCain is driving with his blinker on.

John McCain just won't pay that much for a necktie.

John McCain wants you to turn your stereo down.

“What must a president believe about us?"
"Our people honorable?"
READY ON DAY ONE?

McCain needs to thank Hillary for the campaign slogan. As for the rest, did you get it? He's running as THE REAL American (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). This is to appeal to his constituency (wink, wink, nudge, nudge).

"The American President America's been waiting for" – line lifted off of Obama's New Hampshire speech.

Moron.

John McCain has a bowl of Werther's Originals on his coffee table.

If Obama is the nominee, this will be the next President of the United States. The more I hear about Rev. Wright the more frightening Obama becomes. The 20 years of mentoring is a form of brain washing. Only after this last round of news, he would have left the church? It is too bad none of this surfaced in the early stages of this election. I just find it hard to believe he can have any supporters left. This country will not elect him if he is the nominee. The republicans need only to point a finger in the direction of Rev. Wright. You can argue all you want about Obama didn't say it, he listened for 20 years. The handwriting is on the wall.

Are you kidding me? McCain needs to stop. He's too old, even the polls show that senior are most likely NOT to vote for him based on his age. AND let's not forget his lack of knowledge when it comes to economics. He's so daft in this arena anyone will beat him in November on that issue alone.

The dems are screwed.

Great job.

Also–look for the insurgents and Al Qaeda in Iraq to initiate their own surge in violence in Iraq between now and November.

The last thing they want is McCain in the White House. He is clearly a better commander than Bush–and they will lose ground not only through policy initiatives in the region–but through skillful use of military power.

If Obama or Clinton are elected–they feel they will have time to re-equip, recruit, and re-strategize for a whole new offensive. They are convinced they will be able to revitalize efforts to keep western style democracy out of Iraq, in favor of radical Islamic leadership.

John McCain has already indicated he wants to stay the course in Iraq, possibly invade Iran, and is clueless when it comes to our economy. While his life experience is impressive, it should be he's been around for what 80 years. He's what some may call a great American. But here's the thing, he represents the past, poor decisions and a willingness to continue on the same failed course the GOP has set in motion. The nation I want to leave my family and offer the world will not be possible unless we the voters change the direction of our government and vote for Obama. John Mcsame could put Jesus on the ticket as a VP and I would still vote for Obama.

Did the voiceover also include "100 years in Iraq" and "I don't know anything about the economy"?

Not sure he can 'Forge a path to the future' when he's so obviously embroiled in the past.

The REAL DEAL. I trust him more to protect our country (REAL experience) than the other two democratic candidates who can't seem to get their stories together while flip flopping and lying through everything.

A true typical American Hero and Patriot – God Bless/Help America!

As this presidential race continues, I believe that more and more Americans will support Senator John McCain. Sometimes we do not appreciate the greatness in a candidate until we see the alternative. When a tortured prisoner of war with broken body is offered freedom from hell and declines out of regard for his fellow captives, that demonstrates a level of moral courage that most of us can barely imagine. Such nobility of character is no small thing and is not limited to an event that happened forty years ago. We see it arise again and again. When Sen. McCain takes on members of his own party out of conscience. And when he reaches across the political divide to help enact legislation for the good of the country. And we see it, when as a candidate, he risks his own presidential ambition by remaining true to his vow to protect our country from harm. And when he commits to treating the other candidates with respect. The Jewish people have a word for someone like John McCain – he is a mensch. And I would vote for him if he were running for Miss America.

Whats sad is this 'patriotic' malarky will work. Meanwhile, people will remain broke, houses will continue to get foreclosed, soldiers and innocent people will continue to die and we'll be no better off.

Wave that flag as hard you can, it'll make everything better.

Sorry, Repubs. You taught us in 2004 with John Kerry that being a war hero means nothing. Your turn!!

OBAMA or HILLARY in 08! I'll take either one!!

The opening bell of Round 1 has rung and the Democrats are trying to figure out who needs to go out there and punch McCain in the head.

Round 1 goes to McCain.

Sounds like McCain is already playing the patriot card.
Add is misleading and inaccurate- McCain is not the American president.

Please Mr Mccain stop dreaming, this country under this economic situation is not stupid enough to make the same mistake we did with Mr Crazy Bush.
And unfurtunately that's what we see when we see you , 4 more years of nonesence wars and probably 4 more of the same fear = 8

Couldnt run a coolaide stand.

And the democrats are still bickering.

WELL HILLARY WILL STILL EAT YOU FOR LUNCH!!!!!!!!

We need someone that's always proud to be American and never a bold face liar. Clearly John McCain is the only good choice..

Senator McCain is not a bad man... definitely not as bad as President Bush and hopefully will not chose evils on his team like Cheney and Rumsfeld..... but 4 more years or republicans... aaahhhh I want to cry....

No one wants to see ads with more war footage. Ahuge majority dont want us in this war. Stop playing the POW card. The Vietnam war COST US almost 60,000 troops with 305,000 WOUNDED.

John "man of the moment" McCain.. Go John.
Show them hyow it's done..

John McCain,
Honorable man, and on the wrong side of the Iraq issue.
With 70% of America decidedly against the Iraq war, how can he even think he has a chance to lead this country through 100 more years of Iraq conflict.
