Obama and his fans have a big surprise coming.

Hillary's supporters will NEVER vote for Obama. Hillary has been robbed of the nomination. Every time someone says something about Obama, it has to be race related. Look at South Carolina and what his camp did their. Obama has played you guys.

Every time some questions Obama about something HE said, he get angry and says that's not what he meant. He lied about Wright and hearing the things he said and many other things.

Hillary supporters will have the last laugh!

Hillary supporters unite..VOTE McCain or stay home on election day!

I think its gonna be a knock down dragout fight for independents for Obama an Mccain. I think McCain will attract more independents than Obama. I mean everyone keeps saying change, what is Obama gonna change? Is he gonna change the US to a place were terrists are now welcome with open arms, have our morality at an all time low were anything goes?

John,
The party that you belong to will destroy this planet. Nothing you can say will sway my vote. The GOP stand for rich and wealthy and I am neither so Obama has my vote sir. Thanks for prentending to care about your planet.

Obama 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This guy is paying his campaign manager $40-million! Mc Cain is going to be a easy match for Obama! Hillary supporters may think she is stronger to beat Mc Cain but the Republicans would love to eat Hillary alive! Go Obama!

This old fraud has been lock-step with George Bush for the last eight years. And now he expects us to believe that he has turned into and environmentalist.

If he can pull that off, it will be a better trick than calling right-wing preachers "agents of intolerance" out of one side of his mouth and begging them for endorsements out of the other.

Liar, hypocrite, and coward!

John McCain is not a republican…., beware of sheep wearing wolves clothing…

Flip-flop and pander all you want, John… but with your perfect senate record of anti-abortion votes, and the fact that three supreme court positions will be nominated during the next presidency, there is NO WAY I, or any self respecting woman, or any soul who cares about a woman's right to choose will EVER vote for you.

John McCain = Roe v Wade overturned. It is just that simple. No freedom-loving American will EVER vote for this man.

LIAR!

Is there anything this man won't do to get votes?

SORRY TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! I am a registered Independent, and so is my husband. We voted for Bush in 2000, and immediately regretted our vote! Since then we have been voting for the Democrats!

I will NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR THE WAR! THAT INCLUDES HILLARY!

How can anyone with a brain vote for people who got us into the mess we are in?!

The $10 TRILLION in debt and counting, will not go away, unless we start ending the war with Iraq! And start being honest with ourselves! We are being foolish if we think we can have TAX BREAKS and pay down the DEBT! Our nation is in danger of being bankrupt and people would vote for McBush?! Nuts!

Well said President McCain.

We cannot allow this country or planet to be destroyed by Obama!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Adam, how has Hillary been "robbed" of the nomination? Obama is winning… See, your argument would make sense if she was winning, but she's not. Honestly, I hope all you McCain Democrats leave the party and never come back.

Go to college, moron.

the 1990 emission levels were too high also, mccain- way to be stagnant :/

what a perfect, do-nothing approach to a world-wide issue

i'm an independent,and i will never vote for mccain or any other republican.mccain has too many ties to communist military junta ,in myanmar.the people of burma are suffering terribly,with the cyclone,and their brutal government.mccain has friends who lobby for the same brutal government,and he wants to put these friends in high offices.who's side is mccain on,democracy and freedom?or communist dictatorial regimes?he's a part of the old school politics of bush,that carry dirty little secrets around,in their pockets,while portraying themselves as elite americans.they are un-american.

McCain wants to cap dangerous emissions by 2020…12 years from now…Not good enough. I wouldn't trust or believe McCain on any statement he makes regarding environmental issues. This man is not being honest. He's lying again. Many McCain advisors are well connected to big oil.

Who does he think he is kidding??

MCCAIN IS GOING TO BE HIT SO HARD WHEN ALL THE INDEPENDENTS AND SWING VOTERS GO OBAMA'S WAY!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smart guy.

Take heed "New" Democratic Party. We Dem old timers will be watching McCain VERY closely IF Obama is the nominee…

McCain has not only lost his bearings, he may just lose his bowels when he loses to Obama in November. I'm sorry folks, political party aside, McCain is just not an inspirational person or speaker. He lacks "it", the stuff Obama is made of. Republicans please heed Newt Gingrich's warning to you all, It starts like this "…my fellow Republicans, let's not kid ourselves…….."

How much we will pay for a gallon of gas when you bomb Iran?
10 dollars? twenty dollars?
You should get Hillary as your VP, and Obama can get Regan…

Logical vs war mmmmmmmmmmmmmm… gers.

This man is why many Clinton supporters will vote Republican. Obama is a Left Wing Elitist, and McCain is a aisle walking Republican. Clinton is an aisle walking Democrat. Many of us would much rather vote for the one with the moderate views, instead of the one with the left wing liberalist views.

Democrat for McCain '08

I'm not crazy about John McCain and have never before voted for any Republican. McCain will get my vote if Obama is the Democratic nominee. I urge all of Senator Clinton's supporters to do the same. Obama is a disaster waiting to happen.

Pandering… the Republican party is the least concerned about the environment, little person or social wellbeing. "he" may have some concern but 90% of his party doesn't so what could he really achieve?

Oil companies make 40 billion and only invest 100 million in alternative energy research and investment - I see what the Republican party really supports.

Oh, please tell us about NAFTA and China re-negotiations as well McCain!?!? Healthcare? How about lowering taxes by borrowing from China's banks and leaving us in even more debt?!?

SINCE WHEN DOES HE OR THE REPUBLICANS CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT?

HILLARY HAS OUTLINED HER PLANS FOR THIS LONG AGO!!!!!!

SHE IS WHAT WE NEED IN THE WHITE HOUSE! A FIGHTER FOR THE PEOPLE!!!!!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!

I was absolutely for Mccain in January..I still remember him from 2000 days..I voted for him then. And I was willing to vote for him this year..

Then Obama happened abd Mccain sounded more and more like Bush

So I switched my loyalty to Democratic Party for this year

However, I am a true Republican

If you think Hillary threw the kitchen sink at Obama, wait till McCain
throws the whole house at him. A sort of ole Mr. Nice Guy.

Adam: "Hillary supporters will have the last laugh!"

Um, no. The Republicans will have the last laugh if you keep up comments like that. Say hello to President McCain in November and enjoy the 4-year hangover.

Write in Hillary in November..Lets show them that the people are in charge, not the superdelegates, not the DNC, but you and me. Together we can do it, yes we can….

WHY IS THE MEDIA NOT TALKING ABOUT MCCAINE'S REV. HAGEE?
AFTER ALL THE DAMAGING AND UGLY THINGS HE HAS BEEN SAYING FOR MANY YEARS ABOUT THIS COUNTRY AND CATHOLIC RELIGION. MCCAIN SAID HE RESPECTS HAGEE AND IS PROUD TO BE INDORSED BY HAGEE.

OBAMA ONCE IN A LIFETIME LEADER!!!

Good speech Al Gore want-a-be. McCain, go to school and study environmental issues so you can clearly understand and don't be an Al Gore copycat.

I AM WITH YOU ADAM YOU ARE RIGHT ON!!!!!!

OBAMA HAS NO CHARACTER OR GUTS LIKE HILLARY!!!!!!

IF HILLARY IS NOT ON THE BALLOT, FILL HER NAME IN AND VOTE FOR HER!!!!

WE THE PEOPLE DECIDE ELECTIONS NOT THE PRESS!!!!!!!

GO HILLARY GO!!!!!

Adam,

I am a veteran ('Nam) and I won't vote for McCain. If Hillary drops out, I will vote for Obama. He is younger, has a better record with the VVA and knows that this war is not good for anyone.

Laughable.

Please. Like he knows anything about the environment.

love the comment about roe v wade being overturned… the fem's have been using that line against every republican since the 80's!!!

you Dem's really need to come up with a new playbook…..

Did McCain even care about the environment prior to this election year? Shameless panderer.

To all you people saying you'd support McSame because Billary did not get the nomination or cling to your petty pretexts for not voting Democrat or Obama in the upcoming elections, I say this: Trillions in debt. And remember the lives lost in this war. Those brave men and women who died fighting for their countries left families and friends behind.

A lot of you voted for Bush, some twice. You are as much to blame for the state of the country as the Bush administration. And you will no one to blame but yourselves if you vote for McCain in November, regardless who the democratic nominee is.

Dems Unite.

It's clear that most of you Dems truly hate McCain (and "hate" is the right word, not "not support", etc.). Try to get rid of your angst and hatred…it'll just eat you up. I'm on the fence between McCain and Obama, but I also recognize that there's been a lot of compelling information lately re: global warming, so I understand that people can and do change their minds, and I'd rather they do that than stay to a fixed position. Or have NONE of you ever changed your mind??

As for those of you who talk about Republicans being evil and Democrats being the saviors of the planet, try to get it through your heads that the Democrat-controlled Congress has done virtually NOTHING over the past several years. Where is all the progress that Pelosi was talking about 4 years ago? The bottom line is that the system is broken and both sides are to blame. Democrats are EVERY BIT as partisan and as spiteful as Republicans, and if you think otherwise you are, frankly, delusional.

Another disturbing thing about Senator Obama is his employment as a "community organiser". This did not mean he was working for the Boys and Girls Clubs, or tutoring disadvantaged kids. No, he was working for Industrial Areas Foundation, an organizaation founded by far left radical Saul Alinsky. Alinsky was noted for preaching that the ends justify the means, and encouraging his acolytes to misrepresent their long term radical objectives when "organising" disadvantaged people. Sounds like what he is doing now in his campaign.

This guy is not serious about the environment. Bob Barr know more them him and understands more them Mccain. Mccain is getting some serious republican competition now. The republicans picked at the democrats while they fought back and forth. Now, the republicans are about to head into the same arena.

ADAM
speak for yourself, stop the blackmail
you are dead wrong

looks like mcsain should hop abord the plane with obama
he is following him state to state and town to town to campaign

what is wrog mcsain?
trying to steal votes

I wish global warming would kick into high gear! Here it is May 12th and only 40 degrees at my house. The temperature matches my latitude! It's too cold outside.

G.W .is synonymous with wasting US money and scamming the taxpayer.

Why do you think it has those initials?

This Independent voter is voting for Barack Obama.. and so is my independent voter husband.. in NOV, 2008..

This is no country for old men…

Yes…We..Can…

Sure, and he has a bridge to sell you in Iraq too!

I know that we as Obama supporters are taking great pride in the fact that our candidate is winning, but with that aside, we have to be very mindful of not gloating and taunting Hilary supporters. Hilary supporters need to understand that they will be cutting off their noses to spite their faces if they vote for McCain as a way of "teaching the DNC and Obama supporters a lesson". When you vote it's supposed to be for the betterment of the country and not because you have a grudge. Voting for McCain will not fix the problems of this country but will further exacerbate them. Think logically people!!

I admire John McCain on his elegance and ACTUALLY taking the "high road" like Obama SAYS he always wants to do but then doesn't. At least McCain and Clinton know how to take a stance on issues and were able to vote for or against the Iraqi war. Also, have people not realized part of a politicians job is to pander (Obama, Clinton, and McCain ALL PANDER)!

I'm waiting to see who he picks for VP. If McCain chooses a nominee that's too conservative, I most likely will not vote for him.

McCain an environmentalist? That's a good one. Gotta love how the Republicans denied global warming for years and years and are now acting like we must act swiftly.

Obama is the Democratic nominee…do the third grade math. If Clinton supporters will not vote Democrat, they deserve whatever they get - which will mainly be more war (likely pre-emptive with Iran), even more disastrous deficit spending, even more out-of-control gas prices, and an overturn of Roe v. Wade. Use your heads.

“We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great,”

Have there not been 'credible scientist' that have said this is a bunch of bull? Global temperatures have dropped since 1998 (the warmest year on record) Ocean temperature levels are not on the rise. Why cant we as a people do the simple thing and start to reduce, re-use, and recycle some of our goods? Why do we have to hear about this doom and gloom everyday? Im sure the earthquake in China today was caused by global warming. Little Jimmy got an F on his history test today, global warmings fault right? Oh wait that is W's fault

If you people against the moderates only knew! I lived in Canada for years (leftist socialist) and for every dollar I made, they took almost 50% in taxes. Think before you vote Obama instead of McCain. This was a salary of only 40,000 to start with–imagine what you will have left for your family.

Of course, John McCain is the Environmental President. That's because B.S. is bio-degradable!

mccain is speaking like he hasn't been in the senate the whole time George w havebeen stepping all over the laws.

he endorsed bush the whole time. now he wants to do something about the mess?

I shouldn't blame Mccain, he probably just don't remember.

I'm with Tony in Ohio.

capping emmisions?…he's supposed to be a Republican!

Emmissions caps raise production costs. Higher production costs means off shoring jobs - to other countries without the same environmental standards.
Net result - same emmissions released, with less domestic jobs.
…great plan.

Wher has he been for the past 26 years? All of a sudden he cares abouth the environment. Sure, he can help our country just likehe will help the environment in Iraq. Remember, bomb,bomb,bomb,bomb,bomb Iran!

oh, great. looks like McCain is buying into the global warming hoax. so why do thousands of scientists also say this is not happening and that the earth's temperatures actuall have maintained and cooled the last 9 years. it's a farce.

FLIP FLOPPER!

Relevant–"there is no way I, or any self-respecting woman, or any soul who cares about a woman's right to choose will ever vote for you."

Tell me, in which constitutional amendment can "the right to choose to terminate a young human being" be found? Oh yeah, it's not in any of them!

Besides, most "self-respecting" women should/would utilize their power to choose before acting totally irresponsible! These same women, which include my wife, my mother, and friends, believe abortion is an abomination, and is just another way for liberals to promote irresponsibility in America.

You're not a true republican. You are however a true idiot. To go from "republican" to the polar opposite makes you confused. Write in Ron Paul if you're a "TRUE" republican.

McCain does NOT support mandatory caps on carbon emissions. On global warming his stance is identical to Bush's. His environmental record is only marginally better than Bush. It's McSame.

No real Democrat would vote for John McCain. So-called "Reagan Democrats" will, but they have been voting Republican since 1980.

Isnt this the same guy who got a 0% approval rating on environmental issues for his 2007 and 2006 Senate Ratings?

Hillary or McCain

We need someone with experience in the White House

Hillary we are with you all the way!!!

They are forgetting about FLA and Michigan. When did they stop being part of the Union?

HILLARY 08 yes she will!!!

Oh yeah Republicans give a crap about the environment, that's a good one.

I will be writing in Hillary Clinton's name on the ballot when I vote in the election if she is not on the ballot. And depending on how the DNC behaves the next couple of months, I may place my vote for McCain. Are you listening to us Howard Dean?

If Hillary supporters won't vote for Obama would they be willing to vote for Ron Paul if McCain fails to gain the Republican nomination at the Republican National Convention?

I am an Independent and if Hillary doesn't win, I will vote McCain. I would have voted McCain over Gore in 2000 if he got the nomination. He like Sen. Clinton have alot of integrity.

As a resident of AZ and because of the horrid "Electoral College" my vote in the election will proably not count no matter which Dem candidate wins.
But I will go to the polls. I will vote Democratic, even if I have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary.
I will think past personal predjuces and vote for the future generations, for restoration of this country's respect in the world.
There are no white people. We are all shades of beige and brown.
Even albinos are pink. Dead people are blue. We are supposed to be :
"One nation, indivisable, with liberty and justice for all"
Have you all forgotten?
Obama/Napolitano '08

We have on one hand, a naive presidential hopeful who promises change, while on the other we have an experienced heroic statesman who has a proven record of change. Am I missing something?

Americans for McCain '08

I wanted to be like Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" but Cindy woke me up.Waaaaaaaa

John we need your Republican help to knock BHO out now because Democratic support with the wrong guy and he is not American guy. The
bid problem is Obama doesn't care to pledge of allegiance that's mean he not going to stand for American so knock him out now.

AMEN Adam, Hillary supporters will never vote for Obama!!

He is on his way out…either way!!

Go Hillary!!

If not Hillary…then McCain!!

By the way
Why isn't the fact that Obama is multiracial ever mentioned.?
Vote for his light half if you can't get past the dark.
He is the best of both. His experience is that he sees both sides so is better to represent all of us.
Obama/ Napolitano '08

ADAM, first post, please get a clue and seek/present the truth.

Yep, McCain's real plan is to let the plants and animals take our infrostructure as it corrodes and bomb everything in Iraq until nothing can live there.

The Dude May 12th, 2008 11:25 am ET

Adam, how has Hillary been "robbed" of the nomination? Obama is winning… See, your argument would make sense if she was winning, but she's not. Honestly, I hope all you McCain Democrats leave the party and never come back.

Go to college, moron.
*********************************************************************

Oh and get used to these highly educated obamians.
They are educated but most of them are not very intelligent and
they all seem to lack common sense.

McCain can't remember who's in Irag let alone anything that has to do with the environment. Maybe someone will teach him a little on the environment between now and the fall - I would like to see if he will remember what he learned, including what he will learned on the economy as well. I am in my 50s and can't remember too much - I want him to impress me with his memory.

Don't worry Senator, don't worry about the West, I have that taken care off…….I mean, "I'll hook you up"……….but, it'll cost you, LOL!!!

if obama wins
he gets my vote..

and its because of his enviroment pitch, and what he did on immigration.

thats right hes accomplished something

I thought the day i voted republican would be the day the world turned inside out.

Looks like it ll happen though

Thats too funny. Since when have Republicans cared about our environment… NEVER! Never have and never will.

McCain = Too OLD and out of touch with Democrats and young Republicans
Obama = Too young and thinks he know everything…typical teenager, no wonder all the youngsters are voting for him…….
Clinton = Americas future

To Dee…….you should repent!

Independets are smart and see right through the empty promisses of Obama. Have no worries, Senator McCain! You will have the independents' votes with no problem. It is a good thing that Hillary doesn't seem to be the nominee, otherwise you would have had a really hard time! I guess we should get used to "President McCain". Please don't let this nobody Nobama ruin our country and please don't follow some of the stupid policies of President Bush. You are much smarter and much wiser than our current President, and hopefully you won't make the same mistakes as he did.

100% agree with ADAM above. But I do wish Hillary would run as Independent. The Democratic party needs a huge reform anyways, and she might as well start the process. Many flaws need correction in the party rules and regulations. No Obama for sure; McCain or stay home.

CAN YOU SPELL PANDER???????
McSame is saying anything right now… he know s that Hillary or Barack can smoke him.

He is old and needs to retire.

Sweet, now I am thinking McCain will definitley be the democratic Nominee

As far as I'm concerned, environmental concerns are a distant second (or third, or fourth… place behind getting an appallingly huge, intrusive, tax-gobbling, government off our backs.

Global warming and the like are distant, impersonal, issues for me–being robbed blind by a government determined to wage idiotic, unwinnable, wars and to ignore the rights and freedoms of American citizens are far more important issues.

Be careful everyone: That's EXACTLY what Bush did in 2000 then recanted ALL of his promises!!! Then, he STOLE the White House from Gore!

I GUARANTEE you that that is precisely what McCain AND CLInton will do to us in November!

Obama + Change in 08/12

CNN, you state you moderate the forum. Well how come I and others can post, stay on topic - fall within the Comment Policy but don't get posted.

Then however, you can have Adam who spams the same cut and paste from other blogs and he ends up on every forum?

Hillary08s not for Obama or Democratic party but for McCain, please use your brain if you really care about your issues. The phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind.

Pro-Choice: McCain, no more choice or planned parenthood"….
Iraq war: Can you spell quagmire? End of the "American" era.
Economy: We risk losing relevance as the world's #1.
Natl debt: up, up and away…..20 trillion here we come.
SocSec/Medicare….debt + incr costs = 15 years to still exist.
Feminism: McCain, Republicans, ….women's rights….get real!
Healthcare: ….good luck pal, home medicine was always good….
Iran war: Let start the 100 years war now…. end date 2108.

American 21st century: ????????????

adam
u are a sore loser like your candidate hillary
who cares?
shut up,empty vessel
u'll def be first on the line to vote for obama
unless of course you are a 79 year old racist gun totting uneducated redneck
which you are

Its interesting to see all of you fight back and forth about McCain, Obama and Clinton.

None of you realize that none of them represent the republican form of government the founding fathers left for us.

All three are very leftist just different flavors and none of them have any intent of saving this country from its government.

McCain: Fascist (State valued over the people)
Hillary: Socialist (Organized theft)
Obama: Socialist/Communist (Weath redistribution aka theft)

What ever happened to people having enough pride to take care of themselves? What ever happenned to corporations taking care of their people in a free market?

"Government is not the solution to our problem, Government IS the problem"

RESTORE THE REPUBLIC!

THE NOMINATION IS NOT OVER. HILLARY STILL HAS A CHANCE.
SO, FOLKS AND SUPER DELEGATES, PLEASE WAIT TILL AFTER MICHIGAN AND FLORIDA DELEGATES HAVE BEEN SEATED AND GIVEN THE CHANCE TO VOTE. THAT IS THE ANERICAN WAY.

y'all clinton su[pporters who wont vote for obama
please stay home or vote maccain
or better jump off a cliff,if u dont want change
bitter folks

why are my comments always awaiting moderation,CNN?
but u always allow the stupid clintonites to say some crap at the begining of each post.
cant u hide your bias a bit?

John McCain is 71. So am I. And I am pretty set in my ways and McCain presents himself that way too. I also fit the norm of folks my
age who have memory deficits, as McCain appears to as well. I have a tendency to think I know better than anyone else, even though life has taught me the folly of that. McCain presents himself as a superior expert on what is good for the U.S. Despite his campaign promises, he is likely to be stuck in the same old- patterns of government for America.

The videos on the internet that show him at angry moments portray a brutal image of him. I am concerned about Democratic voters choosing him because they want to get revenge for their candidate not being the nominee.

After 8 years of disastrous Republican domination we are facing 4 more years. John McCain has a very good chance of being elected because a large number of Americans will not vote for a (half) black man under any circumstances. That is just a fact buried deep in their bones.
Four more years of Republican blunders can very well push the country over the edge to 3rd world status.

Hillary Clinton has the intelligence, leadership skills, courage, strength, determination, work ethic and experience to be President of the United States. Obama is a good man, but is not tough enough nor experienced enough. It is time for the right choice to be a woman- Hillary Clinton will be an excellent President. Senator Obama would be a great Vice President and in 8 years an excellent President who has experience he needs. The two together will certainly beat McCain. Please Democractic players wake-up! Hillary-Obama is the ticket that is the best for our country. Thank you!

If anyone is setting us up for false promises it is Obammy. He's speaking niave sweet nothings too many people have drank the kool aid.

Missing something?! Try the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. You missed the boat both times. Please, be my guest, offer your feeble-minded support to McBush — he deserves it.

Travis- where do you get your global warming stats from? Fox News???? For your informaiton, the warmest year on record was 2007 followed by 2005 and the planet's temperatures have been steadly RISING since the turn of the century. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you TO PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE SAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats in '08

Adam (the first comment),

What is the logic behind your thought process? I cannot fathom that Democrats would rather vote against Obama, who shares very similar policy positions with Hillary Clinton. All in the name of vengeance? Wow.

Where are your principals, Adam?
Do you believe we should get out of Iraq or not?
Do you believe in affordable healthcare for all Americans?
Do you believe in protecting our environment?
Do you believe in improving our public education system?
Do you believe in any of the Democratic party's agenda?

If you believe in these principals, which Democrats feel will lift up our country from the bottom up (starting with the least among us) then how could you sacrifice your beliefs and promise to vote McCain?
That seems very silly and incredibly selfish - you are basically saying, "Sorry America… you won't get any improvements because I didn't get my candidate".

How do you think you'll feel about your vote for McCain, when in 2012 we are still in Iraq, still have people buckling under the weight of medical bills they cannot afford, still have our government peering into the very privacy our soldiers fight to protect, still have a fumbling economy, still have CEOs laying off thousands of workers while collecting $100 million checks on their way out the door? How will you feel about your vote for McCain when, in 2012 we continue to argue about whether or not our foreign policies of going it alone have made us less safe?
I could go on and on about all of the reasons it is so selfish of you and any other Hillary supporters to reject Obama in the fall. He shares her views on so many policy issues - it would only be a vote of spite to vote against Obama.
Personally, I could never muster up the venom it must take to vote against my own self interest, and against the interest of my friends and neighbors. I'd rather support the cause, than one person. No politician is the end-all-be-all… even your precious Hillary.

This independent will not be fooled by his talk. When he ran before I could have voted for him. Now I view him as out of touch and willing to say anything to get your vote.
He's backed Bush in the war and has done nothing for the environment. Why would I believe him now?

Voting for Obama!

If anyone is setting us up for the bait and switch its Obama, He's spewing niave sweet nothings and idealistic promises like a student counsel president nominee. in the words of Pedro, Obama has embodied the "vote for me and your wildest dreams will come true" spirit.

the only change will be its a different guy and different set of dashed hopes - yay!

He supports the environment when it's convenient. The border fence that he supports is damaging wildlife and wetlands.

Please, go back and read David (12:14). This s what we're all up against. The price of a gallon of gas will soon exceed the average IQ of the American voting public.

McBush-

War is harsh on the environment. 100 years of war even worse.

McCain said Global Warming is a national security problem. Why? is everything he says pertain national security, yeah he really loosing his bearing. He is so war hungry, what in the Heck does this have to do with national security. Go Barr you might have a chance, because it's like McCain is sleepwalking. Obama 08

Bush part two.

Same as Hillary He will take up any issue to look like he is working for the good of our country. Pull out of Iraq and use those Billions of dollars to build solar and hydro power infastructure in this country.

Go Obama 08

Paul May 12th, 2008 12:27 pm ET
Hillary or McCain
We need someone with experience in the White House
Hillary we are with you all the way!!!
They are forgetting about FLA and Michigan. When did they stop being part of the Union?
HILLARY 08 yes she will!!!
————————————————————-

None of the candidates have PRESIDENTIAL experience, so stop with that argument. It's infinitely different from any experience all three have.

Florida and Michigan have been stripped of their delegates for a reason, maybe if you kept up with the news, you'd realize that. They decided to go against the rules, they knew the consequences. Hillary did too, when she thought they wouldn't matter because she was so far ahead, but now that she's behind, she (and those like you) are crying for them.

Hillary or McCain? The only thing they have in common is invading Iran. Maybe you should stop voting based off of emotion and actually give an educated vote.

I wish McCain, would speak out, so it is straight talk from his heart. I watch and want to pull the words out of his mouth..
Talk about how hard it is for the Senior's who do not have a Pension, only Social Security, Talk about the drugs in this country that are killing our childresn, talk about securing the boarders, talk straight about how important for our country security to keep our troops in this war of hatred for the American people. Talk about how the Democrat Congress and Senate for the past two years contributed to many of our issues today. McCain is a good honest man, but he has to speak louder and harder in making the American people believe that he is the right choice for President.

You can do it, I know you can…

Barb

Adam: Hillary plays the sex card all the time, and didnt she lie about some snipers or somthing. She has not been robbed she has been beat.

We should bring Chile up on charges! How dare they let that volcano spew all of that carbon into the atmosphere. If I die before I'm 100, my blood is on their hands!

Congrats to the environmentalists. The true people to blame for the gasoline problem in this country. If a country like Norway can drill anywhere they want with the environmentalist activities they have, then why are we so stupid to not drill when prices are so high?

Sorry Billary. You and all of the manly girls will have to wait four more years. IT'S OVER!!!!!

This independant is for Mr. Obama, but can see where Mr. McCain could win my support. You see it is about INTEGRITY, it is about BEING WILLING TO COMPROMISE. Ms. Clinton has shwon me she has little integrity in her campoaign against Mr. Obama. She has shwon me she is a fighter, but we do not need a "fighter" one who cannot see past their own desire for a "win" we need a LEADER on who is willing to talk to the enemy and make things better, one who can listen to differing points of view, see the positive in each point of view and who can then reach a concensus and/or comprimise to do what is best for ALL people. We need someone who can look past party loyalty and personal layalty for what is best for the ENTIRE country. For me, as an independant, who knows NO candidate will accomplish all they set out to do exactly as they hope to have it done, I cherish INTERGIRTY, LEADERSHIP and COMPROMISE the most. Right now I support the candidate who embodies these characteristics most (albiet to me personally) but am willing to consider another. So for now Mr. Obama is my candidate but Mr. McCain is someone I could live with.

Mc cain and his party should start the fight, Oh wait you have to be to nice to obo. Just listen to these little babies that follow him. Tear him apart!!!!!!!!

Be careful, McCain. You could get e.coli from all that B.S. you've been shoveling!

I can hardly wait for Rev. Wright's book to come out in September.

It should be good reading!!!

Arrogant, smirking lying Jerk Obama will never get our votes. We want Hillary, we want Hillary, we want Hillary!!! You idiotic Obamanities will see.

Are you kidding me? I hope Americans are not only insulted by motivated by these pathetic obvious pandering. This man represents the party most responsible for Global Warming. He has stood by an administration that has all but wiped out any plan of action set into place by previous administrations. He stood by and watched the funding get cut and cut until there was practically nothing left. He stood by a president who does not have faith in Science but would rather we pray to some invisible being in the sky who will save us. He stood by an administration that lobbied to drill in lands inhabited by nearly extinct animals. TOO LITTLE TOO LATE.

When gas hits $10.00 a gallon and people are paying 3 times todays prices to cool or heat their homes none of this environmental pandering by any of the three candidates will mean a thing. The President and congress will then have to explain why they should continue with the ban on certain domestic drilling and refining because "saving the earth" will no longer be a relevant argument over the immediate needs of people. We are at least 15 years from having enough alternative energy to become even 30% less reliant on fossil fuels. No matter who gets elected they will serve no more than 4 years before people will have had enough of the environmental bull and throw their cans out of office. Jimmy Carter got booted in the election mainly because of energy cost and it will be no different with this next president.

I would normally never even listen to anything a Republican has to say, but I have been listening to John McCain, and I like what he has to say a whole lot more than I like Obama's empty promises with no real solutions. I was originally going to vote for McCain just out of spite because I think Hillary is the best choice for this country, and I don't like how the Democrats and the media have pushed her aside in favor of an unknown speech-giver with no experience, but after actually listening to McCain with an open mind, I have to say I will vote for him because I think that after Hillary, he's the best choice for this country.

If Hillary concedes, I will no longer consider myself a Democrat, will switch to an Independent, and vote for McCain in November. Obama stole my Florida vote for Hillary, and he'll have to be satisfied with that. He won't get anything else from me, nor will I ever contribute to the Democratic Party again.

I love how all thes "if not Hillary then McCain" fools are saying that Obama can not win in November. As she could, Look there is a reason why she is not winning the election you morons and you think she could win in November. She cant even win the primary.

As a solider who has been to Iraq twice now and I am appalled at the comments of the war being a mistake and how we should pull out immediately. I have personally talked to the men, women and children and if I could have laid down my life to insure those men, women, and especially children have the same freedoms we as Americans do today I would have gladly done so. Regardless of the reasons behind the start the war we have an obligation to finish it. Not to do so would mean failure on a global scale and not any candidate regardless of party affiliation will have the power to fix that. I will vote for McCain if for no other reason then to see the work I and my comrades started years ago is completed
None of these candidates are angels but to believe the president has the absolute power to make the changes any of the three is claiming is foolish. Only through cooperation between Congress and the President will true change come forth.

John McCain can reduce greenhouse gases 20% by taking Beano.

That will prevent the polar ice caps from melting!

Yea if i cant have Hillary add me to your list of suport. I will rally votes all across Pennsylvania for you. No real american can vote for the hate monger Obama.

We have on the one hand, a naive presidential hopeful who promises change, while on the other we have an experienced heroic statesman who has a proven record of change. Am I missing something?

Americans for McCain '08

McCain's nuclear energy plan is a big glowing mutant joke. "I know how to fix this oil problem, URANIUM!!! " I don't want to live in a radioactive fishbowl.

“Why do Clinton supporters feel so ENTITLED?”

ted,

I happen to like Kool-Aid. My favorite flavor is red.

This is why McCain will win over Obama. McCain has a track record of thinking and voting more like an independent than a republican (compared to the minimal track record of any kind that Obama possesses). And a strong independent is exactly what America needs! Get rid of the 2 party system, as all it leads to is partisan bickering. McCain's only issue in the fall is going to be the Iraq war - if he changes his position on that, and is willing to articulate an exit strategy, he will have this election wrapped up. This is one Hillary supporter who will vote for McCain over Obama without a second thought! Both parties need to recognize that the majority of Americans are independent - we do not like these crazy right or left ideologies - we want someone in the middle who sometimes goes right, sometimes goes left, depending on what is the best solution for the country. McCain is that type of politician.

I'm a conservative, combat-disabled vet, business owner-type Republicanl; I think that Senator MCCain is a great man, and great patriot, and a a true American hero; however, we need change, we need direction, and we need to look at the direction our great country is heading in the near future.

Obama 08′

Mccain, that worthless old fart, was never a POW, his rich daddy sent him on vacation to avoid the war.
Obama 08

DEMOCRATS BEWARE!!!

A lot of neo-cons posing as Democrats are posting hate mail. They're trying to drive a wedge between us!

RESIST THE NEOCON HATE MACHINE!

McStupid, the environmentalist. LOL!!!

Yeah right HRC supporters want abortion outlawed and more of the children to die in Iraw … enough with the empty threats. My wife threatens to leave me all the time. She never does.

On McCain … this cap and trade is so bogus! They will set the cap such that they can claim progress, it will be phantom. Who in the world won't use up ALL their credits … they have to set the cap high enough to get any trading.

that tard Lieberman said this morning that McGramps is "Aginst global worming"…wow thats an imprissive stand

"I was originally going to vote for McCain just out of spite…"

Spoken like a true Hilary supporter. So stubborn they'd rather vote for 4 more years of failed policies… just like Hilary too stubborn to drop out of the race and try to unite the party.

Btw, for all you dilusional Hilary supporters, the media isn't pushing Hilary out of anything… the PEOPLE are. Look at the math people.

It is over before it even Begun for Mccain he is a Republican and I will never vote for a Lying racist Republican

Experience? I would rather go to a mechanic who fixes the problem the first time rather than someone who talks big on how he can the problem but has not done so after several tries. Only stupid people fall for this spin.

Pardon my cynicism, but the man is in Oregon — of course he is going to say he's 'for' the environment! What he will actually DO if he gets elected is anybody's guess, but my guess is that he will revert to his party line on the environment so fast the radar won't capture it.

All of you Hillary supporters who want to vote for him, or want her to run as an independent: be careful what you ask for. Unfortunately, a vote for HRC as an independent is a vote for McCain, and I really don't think you'll like what you get with him. To reverse what a conservative friend of mine says, 'Any Democrat is better than any Republican".

Travis, Spokane wrote: " 'We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great…” [quoting McCain]. Have there not been 'credible scientist' that have said this is a bunch of bull?"

The answer is no, there are no credible scientists who say that global warming is a bunch of bull. Oil companies have been providing financial research of scientists who dispute the global warming hypothesis, but they are, alas, well paid liars.

tidho wrote: "capping emmisions?…he's supposed to be a Republican! Emmissions caps raise production costs. …"

That is a scary form of accounting, to complain that saving the planet will hurt this year's profit margins. There may be something to that, now that I think about it. I am in my sixties, have no children. Most of the worst stuff won't start happening until after I'm dead anyway, so what do I care about the next generation? Let 'em roast! They can curse at our tombstones.

John we need your Republican help to knock BHO out now because Democratic support with the wrong guy and he is not American guy. The bid problem is Obama doesn't care to pledge of allegiance that's mean he not going to stand for American so knock him out now.
___________________________________________________
Allegiance? Get a life! Also -if the mighty flag pin and US flag is so important - why are they made in China and shipped to America?

I don't pledge the allegiance and haven't for many years and it's my choice if I want to! See - that's another thing a lot of you stupid-white Americans regarding this country and that has a very poor imagine around the globe and still want to tell another country about human rights!

Have you been to fight in Iraq if not - are you ready to die for a lie in Iran for oil!

I am married to a white and some times - I just have to tell him that just because you are white does not give you the rights to think that you are better than others.

Mc Cain doesn't know Iraq from Iran without some one whispering in his ear! I don't pledge a country that invades another country on lies only to go after their oil! Nor do I pledge a country that killed thousands of Native Americans and slaves and places "only whites for this section of beach" or "no chinese or dogs"!

Nor, do I want to pledge a country who tells another country we will destroy you and 70-million people!

But—- one of the beautiful things I see and like about Americans voting for Obama is see millions of white-Americans saying it's time for a change —————————–

Obama for president will be like our Jackie Robinson, Tiger Wood and many others and we thank all the whites who have stood with us and have helped to MAKE this country lives up to its true meaning!

Looks like McCain is once again changing his tone, to sound more like Obama, because he knows that Obamas Ideas are the right ones.

I bet hit record doesn't match his campaign promises.

McCain is just selling dreams right now (short-term, just enough to get him elected, dreams)

Nothing about politics is fair. What counts is who has the number of delegates at the end of the primary. Hillary lost this back in February and has not been albe to catch up. This elction all bets are off, it's so unusual. For once the country has to put their maturity in to play as they contemplate voting for either a very capable woman, a very capable mixed race man or an old established guy. In the fall, who will you vote for the past or the future? There is nothing to fear with change, it wil be good for us and it is absolutley necessary for this country.

The Hillary supporter above claiming to have a surprise for Obama: I have a surprise for you. Vote for McCain and watch what happens to this country and the world. This is nonsense. McCain voted FOR drilling ANWR, against higher CAFE standards, against forcing utilities to use renewable energy sources, and against applying the Endangered Species Act to pet projects in Arizona. I not only voted for McCain, I even volunteered for him in 2000. John McCain of 2008 has gone back on everything he claimed to stand for in 2000…even his vote against Bush. Obama is the only way forward for America in 2008!

I will rally behind McCain if Obama is the nominee
I want a loyal American in the white house.

obama per Rev,Manning says that Oprah will be VP
and Mr. Wright as secretary of state.

thats more then I needed to know, but it sure helps to vote Republican
Maybe Hillary will start her own party. Moderate democrates

I find this guy McCain to tbe alot like Hillary he flips flops on everything saying any and everything that he thinks people wants to hear. We will never really know what he really thinks or believes this way. That's the last thing we need is someone that is so unsure of what the right answers are. He is a double minded person!

Randy - Denver

Right on!

As an independant, I vote on the issues, not the person, not the party, the issues. And this year my issues are the economy, the war, the environment, and health care. Based on these concerns, even if the person wasn't my first choice, my vote goes to whomever wins the Democratic Party nomination because that person best represents my interests. Write in votes and having the other candidate run as an independent won't work (as history has proven) because if HRC couldn't win the majority of the primaries, the odds are unlikely that she can win the GE and anyone who thinks otherwise is not thinking straight. So casting votes for people who did not gain your party support is really just another vote for the opposing party.
Now I'm not the most logical person in the world so I'm having a hard time understanding what is the matter with so many people writing on here. Over 70% of Americans think that America is going the wrong direction and yet so there are people who would rather continue going in the same wrong direction than to at least try to make things better. You owe it to your neighbors, your children, the soldiers fighting and giving up their lives in Iraq, and mostly to yourselves to make a logical decision to get our country back on track. I get that you don't like the person who won the nomination, I get that you don't like the process, I get that you don't like Obama's supporters (I don't blame you) but walking around with a chip on your shoulder because you didn't get the person you wanted to represent you is illogical.

I'm asking all my fellow Americans to use your head. If you don't see the solution you want for your problems, then aim for what you can realistically get so that in the end you can at least say you tried.

Vote the issues 08.

"A REAL American" said this in response to me:

"Besides, most "self-respecting" women should/would utilize their power to choose before acting totally irresponsible! These same women, which include my wife, my mother, and friends, believe abortion is an abomination, and is just another way for liberals to promote irresponsibility in America."

To which I say… Just you wait until your wife or mother or friend or daughter gets brutally raped and becomes pregnant from it, we'll see how quickly you change your tune.

Roe v Wade is not about whether or not YOU think abortion is right or wrong. It's about whether or not the government has the right to force a woman to live through the everlasting hell that I describe above. I'm not going to sit here and try to change YOUR mind about it–your post clearly indicates that YOU want Roe v Wade overturned, so, I guess you're already voting for McCain.

However, for those of us who do believe that the government should not govern over a woman's right over her own body, McCain is the enemy. And no matter how one feels about the Democratic primary, one shouldn't ignore the reality of McCain's positions just to "spite" the Democrats.
