If you want more of the same, vote for McCain. If you would like to get out of Iraq, Vote for Hillary or Barrack.

But, people, don’t forget you elected Bush as president. Did you say that you made same mistake twice in a row? If so, don’t make the same mistake three times in a row. Get someone with low risk.

It's amazing to me that Obama generates all this controversy simply for being honest. Apparently we expect a lot less of our politicians.

A 5th grader would be better than Dubya as President. Whinning Hillary supporters! Obama said Dems first then McCain. Your candidate Hillary said McCain would be a better Commander in Chief (ie President) than Obama. Where the hell is her loyalties. It sure isn't with the Democrats.

His comment shows that the Dems are trying to throw the election,
and cause the Republicans to win the White House in November.

None of the Candidates in either party would be a better president.
They're all the same and are bought and paid for by the corporations.
Why would should we waste our vote on these crooks, when we need
some honesty and Integrity in the White House.

Yes, OBamma offers change.

But change to WHAT????

All that he ever offers is an empty promise of hope and change.

But until I know what he wants to change, he will not get my vote because it may affect me negatively..

Change for changes sake is NEVER good.

I don't really see why this is news. Obama is just stating the truth, that any of the three presidential candidates currently running would be a step forward. It just depends on how big of a step forward we want to take.

Obama is something the world have lived for decades except here in America. That's why most of you are afraid of him and clueless about the guy. Obama offers something new to you guys. You are afraid of change. You are afraid of new things. I am proud of this man. HEAL THE WORLD Mr. President; it is agonizing. PLEASE BRING PEACE TO THE WARCOHOLICS. BRING LIGHT TO IGNORANTS. THEY DO NEED IT, Mr. PRESIDENT.

Barak is not Presidential material. The only reason he is still in the race is because he gets 95% of the African-American vote in the Democratic party.

He will become another Al gore or Dukakis in the General election.

Yes, McCain is better than Bush, Barak, and Hillary.

McCain has the experience abiliity and integrity to be President.

What exactly kind of CHANGE Sen. Obama want? I work at a Community Health Center and the government (state and federal level) already offers different kinds of health insurance for children.

One of the problem also is that some people choose to keep money instead of buying their families medical insurance. I know a lot of people like that. They don't know their priorities. People will survive without expensive material things but that's their prerogative.

Frankly, I'm sick and tired of hearing all this stupid things going on. Medicare is planning on cutting reimbursement again! A lot of doctors now are not accepting new patients on Medicare and Medicaid. People don't understand their medical benefits. Sen. Obama's health care program is DUMP AND STUPID. People you need to do your research!

To you people screaming that Obama is worse than bush or McCain and that Hilary is better: You do realize that Hilary has stated she believes Obama to be better than McCain right?

And this is the reason the Democrat party will shoot itself in the foot and why McCain is almost certain to win.

"AND – if Danika Patrick can win her car race by 6 SECONDS – and a broader margin makes no difference, —- then Hillary can win the election in PA by just ONE vote.

A win is a WIN."

Yes, because winning a car race and running for president are almost completely synonymous with one another.

It's easy to throw stones with no experience. I would love to vote Democratic in the upcoming election, but the way these two have acted tells me that these two junior senators stand for nothing!! Go back to 9/11 and tell me that these two would have acted any better than GWB. Someone else above mentioned the economy. We all should brace for a lot less net pay in our paycheck if the Dem's get in. Hang on to your wallet!!! Go McCain!!

By: Jon Peirce

Yes, Obama is probably right. McCain is an improvement in some ways over Bush. He recognizes the problems with global warming, does not support torture, and would support some forms of campaign finance reform.

But McCain is far from being good enough. He is a superhawk on Iraq, totally ignorant on economic matters, and on most social issues in thrall to the fundamentalist moral majority. To say he is better than Bush is like saying that a term paper that receives a grade of 30% is better than one that receives a grade of 20%. The former is better than the latter, but neither is close to being good enough.

I'm surprised at how big of a deal everyone is making out of this. McCain might be a better president than bush by a narrow margin (agreeing with the fact that a monkey would be better than Bush), but do we really need any more years of Republican dictatorship? Just because Obama admitted that McCain would be better than Bush (which was meant as a joke), doesn’t automatically qualify McCain as the best choice.

Wake up and vote for Obama in 2008!

I'm an independent. Go Obama! If not McCain's got my vote. Hillary will carry all of this caddiness and pettiness right into the white house.
I'm sick of this drama in the campaign, I don't want more in the white house. There's a reason why the delegates and superdelegates are
changing their support to Obama. THis thing goes way beyond the primaries. THey know they'll have to deal with this in the white house.
And McCain will tare her apart. These are the delegates and endorsers that have left her.

Obama is always the person with more decency, I guess he learned better manners, good for him, some politicians will do anything to win including trying to call a black man unpartriotic or throwing the kitchen sink at him, if he was white they would have never tried to say he was unpatriotic.

Obama is an idiot. I guess there were no tele prompters for him to read from. He just blew away every democrats argument about Mcsame. This is a pattern with Obama, a few months ago he praised Reagan over president Clinton, well mabe that was just a cruel way to diminish the Clinton years. Please PA get rid of this guy once and for all.Hillary-Angelou-08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought Obama said that electing McCain would be a third-term for George Bush. Now he is saying he would be better than Bush. Well here is my voting priority order:
1) Hillary
2) McCain
3) Nader

I will never vote for Obama, so do a lot of latinos!!!!

Obama is correct in acknowledging that McCain is an honorable man and definitely better than "W". Senator Obama should not have to remind us that "W" Bush has messed up everything so badly that any of the candidates could do a better job. Obama's bottom line is that both democrat nominees are up to the task of beating McCain and are the better choice for president. Leave it to the Clinton spin doctors to make a mountain out of a mole hill; they are truly professionals at that. Arise Pennsylvanians and unite for Senator Obama as president! Hillary said it and we already knew it! Yes, Yes, Yes he can win! OBAMA “08”

A trained monkey would be better than Bush. Obama tells it like it is and the desperate Hillary Clinton (campain life now stands at one day) tries to spin it as Obama endorsing McCain. Pathetic. But then her entie candidacy has been pathetic.
