Seems like the latest "Sore Losers" tactics is to "Write-in" Hilllary's name as a way to indirectly have McCain win. I question whether these people are really true Democrats and Hillary supporters or Republicans, posing as Democrats, continuously stoking the fire's of discontent.

However, if you are a Democrat and have firmly made up your mind that you will be voting for McCain, directly or indirectly, then the first thing you should do is to write yourself a letter. Yes, a letter, a good old-fashion postage type US Post Office variety, and list in it ALL the Great reasons why you gave your vote to the Republican candidate. Now you have to be honest and include the REAL reason why you did. Next, make 10 copies of it and mail them to yourself the day Before or On Election Day. When the letters arrive leave them sealed and place them in a place where you can see them, but not be in the way.

You're asking yourself, "Why a letter?" Well, should McCain win and then you begin to complain as to why big corporations are being given more tax breaks, why the war in Iraq is still going, why the rich keep getting richer, why we keep losing more and more rights each day, why the Supreme Court is so tilted to the right, etc, etc. and how he can continue to keep Bush's policies alive during bad times.

Well, what I can tell you is that YOU can find solace by going over to that stack of unopened letters that you sent yourself a couple of months ago. The reasons and answers to your outrage are there and they were written by you.

I don't know if any other readers have noticed, but it is very easy to tell which post come from conservative/republican voters.

Just read the post.

If it is a bunch of emotional ranting and raving, then it is from a conservative/republican. They are so used to ranting and raving on talk radio, that they can't help but continue it here as well.

I don't know if Obama will make a good President or not. But I do know that he can't do any worse than the current President.

Obama wins the primary battle and might win the election battle. One CHANGE I can guarantee will come is that the democratic party will eventually lose the political war. How you ask, cause millions like myself will eventually leave the party. The DNC simply abandoned and thrashed the Clintons just out of fear of insulting black democrats. Obama is a one time freak, 4 maybe 8 years. Do Democrats really expect blacks to show this same enthusiasm and this same level of support for future democratic candidates. I dont think that blacks will donate time and money for a spanish or white candidate in the future. The DNC will lose its white base, yep you won this time but you lost millions like me forever.

As a lifelong Democrat and Hillary supporter, I would like to be able to support Barack Obama, but his highly enthusiastic support from the radical left has me very NERVOUS; much in the same way Bush made me nervous with his support from the far right.
Presidents who have close ties to radicals have disasterous presidencies- our current Commander in Chief-to be sure. DECEIVING Congress into an Unnecessary War????

We have to have a President with a Cool Head who can handle and govern over all the diverse elements of our Society.

Barack has a ways to go to convince me he has this quality; and he needs to convince a good portion of 18 million if he wants to win in November.
I do have to agree with Rima though. The idea of a fervent OBAMA supporter who will vote for McCain if he brings HRC on the ticket is positively hilarious. They are either clueless about political issues or have major personal ones.

Obama will not stand by and let McSame send our kids off to die in Iraq. No Way. Nor will he allow McSame to give us four more years of Bush. No Way.
Those of you that are planning to vote for this war monger and really want to show your support for McSame JOIN THE ARMY. Many of you are no help anyway because you supported Hillary in MOUTH only but did not send her a dime to help her out. Don't hate on Obama because we supported him with our time and our MONEY. YOU LOST IT FOR HER. Our money was well spent.
OBAMA08

I was so angry when Hillary didn't win and I like many others threatened to vote for McCain. Now that I'm starting to settle down, I'm realizing how immature I was being. I'm a Democrat and will support Obama because he shares my values.

I would like to apologize to Obama supporters for acting like a spoiled brat in some of my earlier comments.

Now let's go get us the White House!!

GO DEMS!!!

As a woman, I identify with the anger and frustration of others who feel cheated of our chance to finally have a female Commander in Chief. We make up more than half the population and yet are ridiculously under represented in our government.
That being said, as a woman and a mother, in November I need to vote for someone who is going to represent my best interests and issues that are important to me. I need someone fighting for healthcare and education and I need someone who is going to appoint sensible Supreme Court Justices, who will have a tremendous impact on my children's futures with their rulings. (And I'm not just talking about Roe v. Wade, There are a lot of other issues that can directly impact our lives!)
Really, what it comes down to to me is, who is going to stand for the issues that are important to me in the White House? I need a Democrat to win this election in the fall. My family and I can't afford another four or eight years of Republicans.

Obama vs Mccain on the Iraq war is like the difference between a doctor that makes an accurate diagnosis of an illness( prescibing medication) and one that made the wrong diagnosis; commits the patient to a costly operaton that causes him unnecessary pain and hardship; but insists he can do a better job of closing.

I would rather not having the operation in the first place but if I did, I have it would trust the judgement of the doctor who had counselled against it, to close.

The blogs are insane. Take the first one. Do you guys realize as women if you vote for Mccain there will be seets open on the supreme court that will hurt the women's right to choose all because of racism.
Barack never once disrepected Hillary. What has he done really to disrespect the Hillary camp??????? You can make up reasons, but did he really. Mccain is Bush nad if you are a woman and you vote against Barack and for Mccain. I would have to call you insane. I said I would never vote for Hillary because she has been devisive, but if you look at Mccain and what he will do to our Country, I had to take a second look.

This year is for democrats…We can't afford another 4yrs of misery and stupidity………….

To all those who are always screaming about Obama 'not having having no experience' (Their bad grammar, not mine), I would suggest you read up on that other 'inexperienced man from Illinois' did when he became President. His name was Abraham Lincoln and he had even less experience than Senator Obama. But like Obama, he was an intelligent man with a true love of his country and a conscience.

MISSING ETHICS AND MORALS IN SOME DEMOCRATS!

Even though I live so far from the US here in Brazil I don't need to leave to know what is happening there. The globalized market and economy is very much dependent on the good functioning of the US economy.
We all want a democrat to win in the November elections with the hopeful outcome of improving the US economy. We are concerned about the divisions in the Democratic Party for such trivial reasons and the apparent absence of ethics and morals of some voters.
Now is not the time for petty differences and prejudice which cause such division… Now is the time for the party to unite! Each one of you needs to let go of the ego, fanatism and preconceptions turning and to support the democratic candidate Barack Obama.
Obama is a good candidate, intelligent, well educated and well prepared to be president in any country of the planet. He has great ideas and projects being some of them similar with the Hillary program. And still he has a good team and support of excellent democrat politicians to work and help US.
It is very sad ethically and morally that some who supported Hillary in the primary say that they won't support Obama should he become nominated. This will, later on, prove to be a grave error. It has been eight years of the nonsense and absurdity of the Bush presidency only to see the image of the USA declining into negativity.
I think that these people that say “We will vote for McCain”, they cannot criticize George W. Bush for lying, disrespecting the Constitution and disrespecting the determinations of the ONU when he began the immoral and illegal Iraq war.
These people are having a children's behavior and being bad example of democrats for all us that truly love the liberal democracy. What type of democrats are you? Terrorists or blackmailers?
It's time of urgent changes there and the Bush Administration cannot to continue with McCain. Or want you more wars? More lies, expenses and Americans dieing in immoral battles? Or going to down the economy there? Obama wining the election in November places an excellent team of democrats in power and raises the hope of change for every one of us…
The Brazil and the Americas are with Obama 08!
Sincerely
Dalmo

write in… hill yes.. I guess you expect her to share her millions with you and others, once you cause a lose to the democrat voters?

Once you write her name in do you honestly thinks she going to call you and say thank you? After November they all (including Hillary) will still be able to AFFORD gas, have ENOUGH MONEY to survive any type of economy woes, outstanding health insurance for entire family, still have their JOBS, continue to have MILLIONS of dollars in their savings accounts. The only lesson you will teach anyone, including yourself, is that you are a selfish voter.

I am a Obama supporters, but if Hillary was the nominee, I would vote for her in a second, she's DEMOCRATES- RIGHT…I AM A DEMOCRATE………………

Hillary Lost! She Lost! She Is Out! She Will Not Be President! Stop Taking About How She Was Mistreated! She Lost Because She Lost! Anyone Who Votes For Mccain Because She Lost Is A Loser Too!

ABC wants to host a debate? Now why would Senator Obama option for another ambush from ABC. What do they want to do? , , , , continue the flag pin issue and use it to question his patriotism. No way!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. No way ABC!!

Remember Hillary's father was a die hard Republican, she has his DNA, just a fundamental American value. We need new blood in the government, not only a new president but a whole bunch of clear critical thinking brain leaderships, not the ones who can't think outside of the old part lines niether inexperienced out of touch leaderships.

I think Senator Mccain is desperate to control how big Obama can get and how he can attract huge rallies. Mccain cannot do that and cannot afford to go as far as Obama can financially. So, his suggestion is to control Obama's message. I would like to see some debates in that style, but I also want Obama to continue to hold the large rallies all over the USA and bring new people into the process. We will win in November. I have no doubt!
Change we can believe in!
Obama 08, 2012

To: Florida not for Barack Obama - Ever
I get a real kick out of people like you thinking you speak for all of Hillary's supporters when you say all 18 million will vote McCain or write her name in come Nov. Get a grip! How old are you really, 12?
You are fortunately only one of a very few who will still hold fanatical views like that come November, the other 17,999,999 will have determined a vote to better their future and their children's future is infinitely better than holding onto such bitterness and voting to doom the country to another 4 years of failed republican policies.
Grow up and support your own party. Hillary is!

Someone mentioned wanting to know more about McCain before his POW days. Well, he was married to a model. She got into a horrific car accident so she looked quite different to him when he returned from war. From there he had an affair, divorced his wife, and married the mistress who was also a beauty queen, well-connected politically, and filthy rich. And so began his life with Cindy McCain. Do your homework. McCain is not an honorable man.

I just want to take this opportunity to beg all Obama supporters to resist arugering with Hillary's I do know that it can be extremely hard to do, but it really serves no purpose. Many of them will vote for Obama once they have the time to settle down and reason things out, but if they do not then that will be OK too, there is enough of us that have stood by him and millions that have had buyers remorse since voting for Hillary so that number is not as much as they are claiming, plus we must consider the Independents that were not allowed to vote in their state's primaries, then there are thousands of of young people that will becoming of age before Nov. that were not aware that they could have voted in Primaries. Also believe it or not many did not vote in Super Tuesday because they did not know who Obama was and did not believe he would have a chance, many that are sorry that they did not vote. There are those that are in Mi & Fla that will vote for Obama , then let's not forget those Republicans that will be voting for Obama. There will be EX HILLARY SUPPORTERS that WILL VOTE OBAMA, I AM ONE OF THEM!

Hillary supporters are acting like most that are not used to have power and now that they THINK they have it, they want others to beg and sweat over them, I will not, I believe it best to ignore them at this point, allow them time to calm down, but please STOP begging and arguring with them, they will have to reason this out on their own just like the MILLIONS OF US THAT DID!

IT'S TIME TO GET OVER IT MOVE ON, AND GROW UP! BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES DISAPPOINTED, I READ A COMMENT FROM A 15 YEAR OLD THAT HAS ALREADY REASONED IT OUT AND SOUNDS MORE MATURE THAT MOST GROWN UP IN THESE BLOGS STILL CRYING AND TAKING A TANTUM!

ENOUGH ALREADY! EITHER THESE PEOPLE ARE TOO STUPID TO REASON WITH ANY WAY OR THEY ARE JUST ANGRY AND WILL COME AROUND EITHER WAY IGNORE THEM FOR NOW!

NEW SUPPORTER OF OBAMA!

NO McCAIN!

END THE WAR, BRING OUR TROOPS HOME! HELP OUR ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Senator Obama,

Congratulations on a successful and hard fought campaign. Your opponent was truly formidable but you made it through to the Super Bowl of American politics. To help make it through your final contest, please allow me to give you a bit of wisdom.

WISDOM #1:
Your previous opponent (Hill & Bill & Chelsea) were unprepared for your attack strategy of "CHANGE", so the element of surprise worked to your benefit. As you know the element of surprise is an essential strategy to winning any contest. But now this creates a problem for you. You see the McSame camp has watched your epic battle with team HRC and they are resolute not to be asleep at the wheel when you unveil the CHANGE strategy going forward. The McSame camp will not be caught off guard like the HRC camp.

WISDOM #2:
Do not accept John McSame's offer for 10 town meetings "as requested". You may consider only 3 of 10 town hall meetings, and the first 3 must be severely modified to benefit you. Remember, no more than three McSame contest. In addition Senator Obama, you should pick the other debate battle grounds and do not pick any more than three contest. In this way if you are losing the debate contest (and don't get cocky because it can happen), you will not have to quit the final debates because your are getting your butt whup, which will make you look very, very bad.

WISDOM #3:
REMEMBER THIS IMPORTANT RULE, NO MATTER HOW CONFIDENT YOU FEEL AGAINST YOUR OPPONENT, DO NOT ACCEPT HIS PROPOSITION TO FIGHT BATTLES ON THE GROUNDS HE SUGGEST. HE HAS ALREADY THOUGHT THROUGH EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE TO BEAT YOU ON THE VERY GROUNDS HE HAS SELECTED. HE HAS NUMEROUS AMBUSHES WAITING FOR YOU. REMEMBER JOHN McSAME IS TRAINED IN THE ART OF WAR AND HE IS PLANNING YOUR DEMISE AS WE SPEAK. STAY AWAY FROM BATTLE GROUNDS HE SELECTED. IF YOU CHOOSE TO FIGHT ON HIS BATTLE GROUND, ONLY SIGN UP FOR THREE BATTLES. NO MORE. AND CHOOSE NO MORE THAT SIX TOTAL BATTLES INITIALLY. IF THOSE SIX BATTLES TURN OUT IN YOUR FAVOR, THEN YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO ADD MORE McSAME SPANKINGS AT YOUR DESCRETION.

Sincerely yours,
An Obama Mama

Never will i watch MCBUSH DEBATE with Barack.THIS IS A GUY WHO CAN'T READ TELEPROMPTER very well…..The same guy that can't finish a sentence without error only if someone whispers in his ears..A debate between Barack and McCain is like a debate between high school dropout and a college professor……………………….

To Hoang, UC Berkeley:

If you don't think ending occupation in Iraq, curtailing Iran nuclear weapon development, having an universal health care, fixing the ecomony, reclaiming the status of USA, in the world, protecting women's right by selecting progressive Supreme court judges etc. are important for this country. Go write in whoever you want. Go waste your support for Sen. Clinton by electing John McSame. I hope you sleep well when Bush the 3rd is the next president.

After the conventions, only!

It is just as someone printed on here it isRepublicans ,Independants printing most of their going to vote for the McCain baloney.
Saying Obama has no experience can they not read ? What did this state ment get us into in the past 7 + years ?OMG
They want Roe v Wade to be taken away and woman being injured for life with back alley endings.
They are just waiting so we can send more of our Sons and Daughters to Iraq to have them return in a body bag by a war that was started by lies to the American people by you know exactly who/while McShame wants to continue the war just like the war monger he is ………………………………
Wake up America .

Gene you state …."we can't afford another 4 yrs of stupidity from old white man…" and you are no doubt a Black Racist. You are living proof that Blacks are racist are in this country. May I remind you that Obama thought there were 57 states in the Union? He has made other mistakes as well. Black people need to stop all this racism toward White people. You will tolerate any kind of performance or behavoir just so long as that person is Black. Get over it!

It was because of media propaganda and biased reporting that got stupid Bush elected. it seems like a dream that dummy and brainless Bush got elected twice in a country full of intellectuals, best political thinkers etc…..CNN, ABC AND FOX NETWORKS..Our country's future and our grandchildren's future relies in your hands……………………….

People in Washingto knows this: Senator McCain has proven to be extremely difficult to work with — EVERYBODY KNOWS HE HAS BAD TEMPER!!!!

If they both choose to do the town hall meetings - it should be a mixture of people, Democrats and Republicans. If I were Senator Obama, ABC would be out of the question.

Our Mccain grand pa doesnot have money for publicity and looking for Obama's help. He wants free publicity. Obama knows it very well and he will be on the ground not with this Bush's third term candidate.

I won't vote for Obama !!! I voted for HILLARY !!!!! Since, HILLARY is out I am not going to vote !!! I never trust Obama (Rezko link -convicted on 16 counts) I can't imagin, how Obama's supporters won't see IT.
NO !!!!!! TO !!!!!!! OBAMA !!!!!!!

Campaigns talk about change and party sheep (Dems and Reps) eat it up like candy.

The truth is that we are to lazy and content with moaning in corners, and listening to a lot of fantasies dreamed up by big money campaigns to see that nothing can be accomplish when you have a government run by the far left and far right.

What have the Democrats done since they took a majority? Nothing. Do you know why? They can't.

All I can hope is that one day, the press will come up with a way to give all real candidates a fair amount of attention, and that the folks that sit on the sidelines year after year (Independence) stand up and vote.

With that said, there is only one independent running. Look at their records. And I do not mean just during the time that they have been trying to earn a BIG party endorsement. (The only way into the White House)

There is nothing the same about McCain. The only true change candidate.

To Hoang, UC Berkeley……"You don't vote for a party; you vote for a president. It does not matter whether Obama is from the Democratic Party, nor does he have similar plans with Hillary". Do you know how DUMB you sound?, it is a fact when you vote for a president it’s either a democrats or republicans party group. If anyone believe this stupid comment, I hope they find you when they can't afford gas, health care, lose love ones in this war and high food cost. Write Hillary name, but for us who needs financial help, we can’t ask her for any money, Hillary has millions, what do you have? I am a Obama supporters and yes if Hillary was the nominee I would vote for her in a second, she's DEMOCRATES- RIGHT…I AM A DEMOCRATE………………

We the ones who are suffering from the Bush administration are getting tired of the voters who think it's all about THEM, when it should be about ALL of US. Some of us, voters have suffered the most, and we finally have a chance to get help from a demarcated president, you are going to block that. I considered myself as true democrats, because if Hillary would have won, as a Obama supporters would have thought of OTHERS WHILE I CASTED MY VOTE, and not pout because my choice of candidate didn‘t win. This thing were some of you say you will vote for McSame, to teach the DNC party or Obama a lesson. Please tell me how, with what your vote, our suffering, because after November they will still be able to AFFORD gas, make ENOUGH MONEY to survive any type of economy woes, still have JOBS to go to on a daily basis, continue to have MILLIONS of dollars in their accounts

Hillary may be loved by many women, but not everyone loves Hillary and believes she is the best person to be the President of the United States. Many Independants and Republicans would never vote for her. She be the "Great Woman's Hope" for many Democratic women, but Independent and Republican men and women young and old do not hold HIllary in the highest regard. She has to win the country. I believe more Republicans will vote for Obama. So for the few who won't vote for him, there are many who will take your place and will….
Go Obama!

Helen, he has experience. What's wrong with you? He was a professor at Northwestern, community organizer, Illinois state senate, and U.S. Senator. None of that matters though, because it's not about experience, it's about ideas and solutions. Show me the Constitutional document that says you need 20 years of government experience to run for office. There is none. You can be a farmer from Nebraska and be president. You just need lots of cash and good ideas for the country, and lots of people to listen to you. Guess what, Obama has all of those things. I am sorry you don't see the Fierce Urgency of Now why Obama is running for president. Or have you been asleep the last 7 1/2 years?

What Hillary supporters should understand is that there was never any perfect candidate. There were, at best, flawed choices, the pool of which has been narrowed down the final 2. So if Hillary's supporters are so against Obama, they should answer the tough question - am I so against him as to be for McCain? Ask and answer the question honestly, looking beyond hurt feeling and bruised ego, to what each candidate stands for, to each candidate's strengths and flaws. And then choose between the remaining options.

We like to talk about rights of a democracy. How little we talk about the accompanying responsibilities. America has winnowed its choices for president down to two. The responsible course of action is to chose between them.

I was watching CNN and I didn't know McCain BROKE while a POW!
He betrayed the USA to a enemy and confessed.Why is he running for President if he betrayed us?

I am not saying I would hold up but I know that about myself and wouldn't ever serve if there was a chance I would betray my country to the enemy as John McCain did.

McCain is considered a war hero for commiting treason while in uniform which doesn't surprise me since he is a republican.

Some Republicans send negatives comments here trying to sow the seed of anger between Clinton and Obama supporters.Let's not fall in their trap.

Democrats 2008

Quote:

"What a welcome change it would be were presidential candidates in our time to treat each other and the people they seek to lead with respect and courtesy as they discussed the great issues of the day, without the empty sound bites and media-filtered exchanges that dominate our elections."

In other words, "Senator Obama, let the people hear you speak without the aid of punditry, and other media types, do their best to clean up after your latest gaffe, and we'll do it in front of a live audience, not a media that is doing its best to get you elected."

Sounds good to me.

Obama has as much experience as another man from Illinois had when he won the Republican nomination in 1860. He also was a relative unknown, had little managerial experience, little elective office experience, and won the nomination over several very well-known, albeit male, candidates who felt that they had a lock on the nomination. He was also much derided and, in fact, not only did his detractors threaten to not vote for him but also threatened to, and finally did, leave the union. Now, of course, we know how wrong everyone was but it wasn't known how great a strength of character and intellect this man had until he was in office and faced, with the wisdom and conviction he put forth during his campaign, the great trials of this office.

It doesn't matter as much that you have experience to play the game but rather that when you play the game, you have the ability to do so well. I feel that we are to see greatness from this century's man from Illinois.

After the debacle of a debate with Stephanapolis and that other lame "moderator", McCain and Obama are correct in rejecting an ABC network hosted town hall.

I think everyone should stop being so negative. These town hall meetings have the potential to be wonderful, historic events that turn the election into an honorable contest of wits and issues. Granted, that sounds a bit unrealistic, but it could happen. At least the campaigns are agreeing on something.

Obama INGORE McCain!
Don’t Agree to anything.
Run the campaign as if he does not exist.
You can marginalize him by not referring to him.
Make the campaign about the “people” not the presidency!
He doesn’t get it!
The “movement” transcends a single person.
The more he talks about himself and you the more the people will understand the notion of a need for real change.
In short don’t play by the “old” political rules.
Love – your friends in Canada

Hoang,

Correction: you are not voting for a person, you are voting for an ADMINISTRATION. Unquestionably, Barack will appoint many of the same people Hillary would. If you want a continuation of Republican administration with the possible continued influence of Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and all the other incompetents in Bush's circle, then don't vote Democratic.

If you believe in Hillary's honesty and trust her, you will do as she wishes and prays for. Otherwise, you obviously don't trust her honesty or judgement.

To Hoang, UC Berkeley: Do the capital letters mean you are enraged?
Your comment was identical to the one on the previous ticker. In capital letters!

All of you folks who are going to write-in Clinton, or vote for McCain, or stay home and not vote, it is your choice, of course, but it seems you are
acting in a self-defeating way. Is McCain's plan what you want for you and your children and grandchildren? Do you want your teenagers to do combat when they are old enough to enlist?

Any woman who votes for Senator McCain is giving up the Right to Choose. That's his position, clearly stated, and as a person who fought for Choice, I shudder at the thought of returning to those terrible times.

I am personally anti-abortion, but I will defend to the end a woman's right to make decisions about her own body.

And, by the way, I don't want my grandsons fighting in Iraq.

To all women who vow to sit the election out, or vote McCain:

You are reinforcing the "irrational" stereotype that strong women are trying to shake off.

Obama supporters seem to have an attitude that us old, white, working men and women that do not have a college degree call looking down their nose at. They think that we must be brain dead because we cannot see Obama in all his glory. I have even seen here on CNN posts that we should not even be allowed to vote.

Do you really think it is a good idea to keep on insulting us? Do you really realize that you are? Moreover, do you think he is going to win the GE without us?

I would hope someone will ask Obama the hard questions that can not be answered with slick slogans and catchy phrases. There is a need for clear and concise substance on major issues. Issues that the news media has allowed Obama to duck. No 1 is the socialist idea that bigger gov't is better gov't. He and Michelle have both stated publicly that those who have will have to learn to do with less so that those who have less can have more. Pure unadulterated socialism.
No2 Who is going to pay for the parade of free programs that is nothing short of pandering to the electorate. There are some very unsettling parallels to the rise of the 3rd Reich and Hitler as someone who promised to have all the answers. His metoric rise to power brought devastating results to millions and affected the whole world.

John McCain is not George W. Bush, but unfortunately Barack Obama is Barack Obama.

Hillary in 2012.

This town hall model debate is the most prestigious debate model because no interference from the moderator, which is commonly seen as not fair as they should be.

Let's see if there is no help from the press, will Obama be able to show that he is capable and experienced enough to be the President of the United States.

I'm sure all the Obama supporters will not want to be moderated by a moderator who is biased toward republicans, and neither do the McCain supporters. So the only way out is to have unmoderated debate.

Brian William from NBC is long known as a speaker for the Democratic party. Will that be fair to have a debate moderated by him? Absolutely not.

CNN, see if you dare enough to publish this.

TO Hoang, UC Berkeley,

You wrote earlier that you will write Hillary in the ballot fo the presidential election. My question to you is: do you honestly think that she will actually become a president by putting her name on the ballot?
You know the difference between Hillary and Barack is? the Difference is that Hillary brain washed her supporters to look down on him, hate him disrespect him and that is why many of her supporters think he is not good without even listening or giving him a chance. Barack in the other hand tried to put his defferences between hi and her, not once he came and said she doesn't deserve to be a president and that he is out of touch, and that Mcain is better than her. Rmemberr she was the one who said these things.

Let me tell you something, she mught be tough person, a fighter, but she is not honest, sincere respectful candidate, she will whatever it takes to get her way and if she doesn't get her way she tries to screw everyone.

Don't do it John - "There be Dragons" You'll get your butt whopped by Obama. Best to stay away from debates unless you're really trying to unite the country behind Obama. (Which would be honorable, but I don't think that's your real intent)

Lou Dobbs says America is losing its identity. Obama and the politically correct news media contribute to the loss. Is Obama first an American or first an African? We can see his color of which like being white is nothing to boast of nor be ashamed of. Is he running for president of the United States of America or Africa? He needs to drop the divisive African American and just be an American like every other proud citizen of America.

A Vote for McCain is

all the same, and

a Vote to overturn Roe Vs. Wade

Abortions will not be a Womens choice. Wether you agree with it our not. You may want a choice.

If that happens do not complain.

Take the emotional out of the Vote. Hillary hurt herself when she said McCain was better than her fellow Dems candidates. Ie Obama

Now, she has to go back and say she was lying.

Gop already using her Line online.

Obama did her a better service and earned more money. The money came from the people, not media, senators or special interest like Hillary , Just the people.

McCain will loss this fall, as the economy continues to crumble and the sectarian violence continues in Iraq. Iraq and Iran are cutting deal this week., while our troops continue to die in a civil war.

McCain's ONLY reasoning for wanting these townhall meetings is because he does not do well in any other setting, he also wants to get his jabs in, you know the Republican style wise cracks, plus he wants to benefit from Obama drawing the crowds.

If I was Obama I would only agree to maybe one or two at the most. Let McCain draw his own crowds, plus pay his own way around the nation full price!

Obama don't be fooled by him, don't benefit him in any way. You don't need him he needs you! Obama please don't play these mind games with him the way you did with Hillary, don't cut him no slack make him earn his way through this race.

I can't stand how the Republicans play games with silly cracks and I just got a feeling these townhall meetings will lead to this, a way for them to put their added spins on the smallest things Obama says without so much focus on McCain except the obvious how silly he looks in comparsion to young, intellegent, handsome Obama.

Wow, check out these OT comments. I'd like to congratulate BOTH campaigns for doing the right thing and holding out for debates sponsored by the campaigns themselves, and open to all media, rather than hijacked by big media players with their own agenda.

It would be great if both candidates are sincere and we really end up with a dignified, respectful debate on the issues. This particular combination, McCain vs. Obama is probably the only match-up from either party that could have offered us that chance.

To those who aren't sure what Obama stands for or what his qualifications are, I would say, you start paying attention. This may be the fault of media coverage that focuses on the daily scandal instead of deeper issues. Let's hope these town hall meetings fix that problem, both for supporters and skeptics of Obama.

I agree with TXBad1 that both candidates should spend more time in rural districts. I'll bet that Obama will spend more time in Texas before election day than any Democratic presidential candidate in 40 years. If he does, you'll give him a chance?

I think people need to stop drawing attention to McCain's excessive age.

In my opinion, he should be treated exactly like normally-aged people.

Give disgruntled Hillary supporters some time. Very few are going to throw a hissy fit and stay home or vote for McCain once their emotions calm down. Obama shares almost all of the same issue positions as Hillary, while McCain believes the opposite.

We saw what happens when these non-college educated voters make an emotional selection instead of an intelligent one: George W. Bush's disastrous presidency. Hillary's voters will come around. They backed a fine candidate who narrowly lost because her campaign forgot to make an effort in some smaller states and got pounded.
That's no reason to doom the country to more Republican misery, and they'll see that in time. Hillary knows how important the election is, and will be campaigning for Obama on a regular basis.

To all you Obama people, I am a 62 year old Dem & never voted for a
Repub but this time I will be voted for Mccain. I voted for Clinton but this has nothing to do with the reason I will not vote for Obama. He has done nothing, he is all talk, he is a empty suit. I beleive in voting for the good of the country not any party. I really think Mccain is the best man for the job. Bush was going to change things too & look what we got, no thanks to you Obama people.

There are some very childish remarks in this forum. Anyone who was for Hillary Clinton and votes for McCain is a complete and utter traitor to Hillary and her causes. She said as much herself. All the people saying they don't vote for the party or principles but for the PERSON are dangerously close to indulging in the "cult of the personality". Even the old Soviet Union saw the danger in that kind of thinking. If you want four more years of Bush-type rule, then vote for McCain. If not, vote for Obama. Whatever you do, GROW UP and stop with the "emotional reasoning"!

After Gibson's and (can't spell George's last name) disasterous performance, who would agree to be hosted by ABC?

After the debacle C. Gibson and G. Stephanolous moderated and called a debate, I would hope Obama NEVER goes on ABC.

That's a pitty because ABC used to provide objective news coverage…especially Gibson. Stephanalous is and has always been a sleeze. He rates right up there or down there with McClellan.

I will be very anxious to see how Obama and McCain square off. I'm thinking no contest. McCain is not capable of talking about anything but the war and that is already getting very tiring. Again, we have to move forward and look to a stronger America by effective use of our resources.

IAM A DEMOCRAT AND HAVE been all my life
but there is alwaays a frist
to to say let the obama supporters have him
I will vots rep' [or] indep'
look bye demo' DNC let them help obama or hamas lover

HRC Supporters,

If you want to vote for McCain, do us a favor by cutting the talk.
You do not represent the millions of women who will see reason and get behind Barack. The delusional few who say they will vote for McCain will be more than comepensated by Republicans who cross over to vote demorcratic in november.
It is indeed a pity that some so called 'red-necks' will vote for a Black President while some highly educated , qualifed , but deluded women will vote out of spite for a senile man.

FYI
I have a republican neighbor who told me that he comes on these blogs and portray himself as a Hillary supporter that would not vote for Obama just to get real Hillary supporters to follow his lead. He also shared with me that there are many other Republicans that are doing the same. The absolutely love doing it. They stated they know that it is the only way McCain will win. Think about it.

You know what, I don't get what these Republicans mean when they say that experience is so important. If it means 4,000 dead soldiers based on faulty information, $4.00 gas per gallon, millions of homeowners in foreclosure, no healthcare plan, millions of people out of work and the mess that followed Hurrican Katrina, then thank the Lord for Sen. Obama and his "lack" of experience. To all the people who love this type of "experience" go right ahead and vote for the Republican agenda. No apologies are necessary!

Some of you still havent figured out that "EXPERIENCE" AND GOOD JUDGEMENT ARE NOT THE SAME THING" We have $4.00/gal, a 5-year Iraq war, highest jump in unemployment in 30 years….etc due to the experience of John McSame, Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush.

There's probably close to 175 years of "experience" there but clearly there JUDGEMENT SUCKS.

Go ahead and vote for McSame and guarantee your children and grandchildren a tour of duty in Iraq and/or Iran.

Seriously to you really think writing her in will get her elected. If you support Hillary so much GET BEHIND her and FOLLOW her lead, cause I'll tell you this, if her supporters do turn around and write her in and vote for McCain you guys will set back all the progress she has created for women and all the progress Obama has made for the progress of African Amercans. McCain and the republicans do not care for anyone other than Rich White Males. Look at who the dems had running for Prez……
A woman
A black man
A Hispanic man
A part Native American Man
A White man

Now for the republicans…..

A white man
A white man
A white man

Which one of these groups truly represent AMERICAN THE "Melting Pot" and inspiration of what America stands for.

GET REAL!!!! Change must happen We need to regain our respect and ranking in the World and unite as Americans.

mm,

John McCain was a married man with children while he lay as a POW. When he was finally released and came home, he meet Cindy where they carried on an adulterous affair. Later he divorced his wife and and married Cindy. To this day he still pay his wife spousal support. This is probably why he and Cindy want do joint tax returns, so he will never have to increase her spousal support.

Re: (MN) John McCain's marriage to Cindy is his second marriage. John was in a failed marriage when he met Cindy age 25 and John was age 43. After divorcing his first wife, John immediately married Cindy.

Anyone can debate McBUSH……EVEN LITTLE KIDS……..

To either Mr. McCain or Mr. Obama -

In your consideration of VP candidates, you would do well to look at Nupur Lala. She can spell like crazy!

I believe she would also look good in hot pants.

MY 4yr old son will debate McCain without looking at the teleprompter, and without preparing for it…There 're so many issues facing our nation. I don't know what McCain will tell Americans…..that he is not part of Washington or he is a candidate of change as well…McCain is brain dead….yes! he has serve this country so as many of us, because he served doesn't mean he is entitle to the presidency, and experience is not how long you have been in Washington is how well you impact people's life.

The old America is dying - A new America is born.

Obama for President!!!

For Hillary supporters not voting or switching to McSame.

Go on and do it, don't spead anymore hate and other BS, I don't believe for a minute, that you are true Democrats.

But please stop the nonsense.

write in… hill yes

There is no possible way I can vote for McCain. I am a life long Republican but enough is enough. The failed policies, lies and lack of accountability of the Bush administration has this Republican supporting Obama.

its funny how you republicans pose to be hillary Clinton supporters with hopes to drive democrat women to the republican party. I have news for you once Obama and the DNC puts the spotlight on your pro life judges you wish to put in office to overturn the landmark 1973 Supreme Court ruling on abortion and privacy rights for women ( Roe vs wade) republican and democratic women will vote in herds against mccain and vote obama so keep trying. I see these post all the time copy and past republican copy and past.

Obama 08

why don't people comment on the story, not on the general election?? This isn't the place for the "my guy's gona thrash your guy chat!"

This story has absolutely nothing to do with whether Clinton's supporters will or will not vote for Obama, so don't comment on it. It has nothing to do with McCain's biography or Obama's experience, so don't talk about it!

I am convinced that Obama will outshine McCain in any venue. It is obvious that McCain is attempting to set up Obama for failure by suggesting 10 town hall debates with no moderators. But he will soon find out that Obama is adept at holding his own in any setting. McCain is "old school" in his thinking. Obama represents positive change. Let the games begin!!!!

Obama ———- Mc Cain has had a 4 months to campaign and tell Americans about who he is!

For now… just stay focus on your campaign and don't push yourself to any of Mc Cain's demands!

He is not able to rise as much money as you - so ——— he's looking for free time! In the mean time - I hope you continue to give speeches for big rallies! I love those!

Go Bam!

McBush wants the town hall meetings, and so many, because it will be free advertising for him. He's hurting for money and can't compete with Obama's ability to advertise.
Also, McBush laughs alot of questions off, and that's easier to do in the casual town hall meeting. He doesn't perform well under pressure.

thank you all for god,,, god will sit now,,, obama took over,,, may god rest in peace

Sara….umm..hehe ditz…what?!? can you honestly repeat what you said and make sense. Obama had nothing to do with last 8 years, Republicans eat him alive? wow get a reality check, where the hell have you been. Experience, idiots, this is over we talked about this already, this isnt the 1860s. military experience doesnt matter, know your history, and as far as the presidency, THEY HAVENT FREAKIN BEEN PRESIDENT YET!!! HELLO!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! you people really i beg you shut off the tv, talk to a vet, read a book. Get your head out of your arse

Obama will give an exemplary performance at any town hall. Now, he should focus on areas where he is weak, such as, WV, KY, AK, etc. Although I don't think die-hard racists will somehow magically see the light and vote for him, I think he could still make an impact on those folks. Also, to all the Hillary Supporters….you're cutting off your nose to spite your face if you vote for John McCain. I don't know why you would pick McCain over a democratic candidate who had almost the same platform and Clinton. As someone who is not a national of this country but very involved in this campaign I can tell you that many abroad are applauding an Obama Presidency!

McCain is a nut he can't even read teleprompter very well, can't make his own speech. confusing Shiites and shunis, has not idea about economy…..we can't afford another 4 yrs of stupidity from old white man…

I STILL bash those who vote against their party. There is a reason why the nominee from respective parties is called the "standard bearer," which was why I was prepared to "hold my nose" and vote for Hillary. A vote for the person, regardless of who that person might be, of the Replican party invites a war without end in Iraq and tax breaks for the wealthy. Privatized social security and healthcare are "bonuses" that you get, along with conservative supreme court justices. I fully understand there is a PERSON who represents that party's ideals but it then becomes a question of which is more important — the principles in which you believe or the person in which you believe. The problem there is when the two are INSEPERABLE! If you believe in McCain the person, you are voting for HIS principles — not yours — because he won't divorce himself from HIS as you are prepared to do from YOURS. So who loses? Not him. Like unto it, NOT voting for the party "standard bearer" constitutes the same thing. Given most ballots are automated and/or do not provide an option for a "write-in" candidate, choices dwindle. For those that DO provide such and opportunity, since there would not be as many "write-in" votes as ballot votes, the "write-in" votes become WASTED votes that, again, benefit the Republican "standard bearer." Further, you speak of voting for someone who "acts fast." That has proven to be our undoing in ending up in this war. I want someone who thinks things through so that they make SOUND — not RASH — judgements. It doesn't matter HOW FAST you act if the actions are WRONG! Likewise, I see absolutely NOTHING about John McCain that would indicate to me that he is any more capable as a leader than Barack Obama. Experience? What is it? I'm a military officer that outranked him as a naval officer — and have spet more years in the military! I don't feel more experienced or qualified to be president than Barack Obama because of that, so I certainly don't see why McCain would be more qualified. And lastly, certainly when it comes to intellect and ability McCain has NOTHING on Obama. Look no further than the campaigns they have run during the primaries and the people with whom they have chosen to surround themselves in managing those campaigns. Obama presents himself as a more organized and forward-thinking person with a sense of direction unlike McCain's — which is clearly "business as usual."

I'm looking for the stark difference between McCain and Obama. McCain seems stuck in the war and makes bad choices. If he's so great, why did he get shot down and cave to his captors with propaganda tapes. Looking out for his self, selfish in my book. I want someone who thinks things out and ask question to know more. I want to have an idea of their outlook on the United States. How are they going to FIX what President BUSH has done over 8 years of doing nothing…. I want someone who can get us back and move us forward. I'm not looking for someone old and stuck in the past.

A great place to start should be on C-Span and be three hours at least in time.

Washington, D.C.

Obama will get crushed by McCain in these debates. He never gave any real details about his ideas (if he even has any) during the debates with Clinton, all he kept saying was "Hope hope hope". Well everyone has Hope. And the independents and republicans won't be satisfied with Barack beating around the questions like the democrats apparently were. Baracks a nice guy, but he is the most extreme member of his party - and McCain is one of the most moderate of his. Which do you think will be reaching across party lines to work together? Not Barack and his policies of pro-abortion, big government - communism anyone? - affirmative action (any white people out there? I hope you wanted to live in poverty and never get a job. Because that's what Barack and affirmative action promises to do for you!), etc. Obama STILL has not admitted he was wrong about the state of the surge. Pathetic…

McCAIN '08 and '12

THAT IS GOOD NEWS THAT BOTH OBAMA AND MCCAIN CAMPS REJECTED A ONE NETWORK SPONSORED DEBATE OR TOWN HALL MEETING. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT THE NBC BIAS THAT
WAS OVERWHELMINGLY AGAINST ONE CANDIDATE AND FOR THE OTHER. WE WILL NOT FORGET THAT EVER. AND HAVE NOT WATCHED NBC SINCE.

Obama brings hate and threats to this election, a obama blogger on greta wire said ,we have you flagged, as in anybody that dares to be anti-obama, this is what the media has done, literally put men, women and young adults in harms way, may one day you all wake up.

we the American people are being held hostage by some thug candidate, and sorry excuses for senators,congressmen/women and the media….

I hope and pray that the American people realize the importance and seriousness in picking a President. This position requires demonstrated experience and dedication. This is not a rock contest. Obama is gifted in speaking but what he says has little or no substance. We can all speak of change but there is change for the bad as well as the good. One thing is certain in deciding who to support in backing a candidate, it is totally irrelevant to base it on someone else reputation. This is totally ignorant. Selecting a president is a serious decision it should not be used to express anger or frustration against someone who is not even on the ballot. When you consider Obama it is best that you really know what he stands for and what is his real agenda. You should also consider that the issues of our times are the "economy", "security", "terroism" and as a sub-issue "Iraq". It doesn't take a rocket scientist to conclude that Obama has no experience or record to address any of these issues. Oh yes, he made a speech against entering into the conflict in Iraq but if he had the information at that time as other members of Congress and the Administration had(in fact, most Nations in the Free World), would his position been any different. We do know that when he was a member of the U.S. Senate, he did support all the major legislation to support the War. Perhaps, former President Clinton was correct when he said it was all a "fairy tale". For a person who has to be told that patriotism is something you express without hesitation (consider the symbolism in wearing the American Flag pin, putting your hand to your heart when saying the pledge of allegiance, and even when your wife has to become an adult before she is proud of America) are signs that cannot be ignored. Yes, America, get to know your candidate before casting your most cheerish vote. The stakes are high!!!

Helen in NY said: "He has no real background and any resume."
i think you meant GW Bush. check out his resume. he was drunk till he was 40. And, Harkin energy- his "business" - was bailed out by the taxpayers & the saudis to keep it afloat just before he left the company & dumped his stock shares. Soon after the company tanked but not before he made his money. he got into yale becasue he was a legacy. not because he was intelligent.

no one had more experience in govt than dick cheney & donald rumsfeld and look how they demolished the military and ballooned the natl. debt.

obama was a community organizer in inner city chicago and anyone who has organized volunteers knows leadership skills are necessary to motivate volunteers to work with no pay. obama out organized the clinton & dnc machine o win the nomination.

he has advanced through his own merits- not from his family legacy or taxpayers money. he is ready to lead this country and the country is ready for a statesman.

Why are posters still talking about Hillary, she is not running for president anymore. It is over.

What a concept! If that had been the case with the democratic primaries, Obama might not have gotten the kid gloves treatment and been crowned by the networks before the primarie were over and Hillary might actually have been treated as an equal candidate.

Hillary Lost - get over it !!!

Obama is smart, thoughtful and has good policies, better than McCain.

Watch the debates and see the Democrats made the right choice…

To the cowards like Helen and Rick: You guys don't get it. This isn't about you, or me, or Hill, or Obama. This is about this Country. For the one's that say they will vote for McCain, so be it. Obama, Hillary, and McCain ARE ALL MILLIONAIRES. So will you really be hurting them?? I doubt it. But., when your house gets foreclosed on, your cars get repo'd, and your sons, daughters, husbands, brothers, or WHOEVER get drafted to fight Iran just remember you can look in the mirror and say "Thanks (Fool's name here), we sure showed them.
As for Hoang, I'd just say one thing. You're tellin me you didn't vote for Hill based on issues.. Because they're almost identical. So you've shown your true motives and intelligence.

Thank God both campaigns have rejected using the "press" to moderate future debates. As the primaries made clear, reporters do an awful job asking fair and relevant questions in a debate format, often focusing on trivia aimed at boosting TV ratings rather than shedding useful light on the candidate's positions or qualifications.

I am a die hard obama fan who was as bitter as most at hilary for the campaign she run and for her refusal to acknowledge him on tuesday as the winner. HOWEVER after her speech on saturday she has changed my mind towards her and I would like him to pick her as his VP. Not because of the idle threats of hillary supporters but (call me stupid) I actually believe her that she will work hard for Obama, and that she is the most qualified for the second slot.

Just my humble opininon as a College educated black man down here in Jacksonville, Florida

here is a messeage for all you from Orlando, Florida. McCain you have just inherit 18 million voters to your camp.

One or two town hall style meetings is fine. However, Barack should not agree to more than that. He should plan his own campaign and not let McCain decide how to let the American people get better acquainted with him.

Run your show McCain and Obama will do the same.

Obama 08/12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ther's an old saying…………… He who cares the most will lose.
McCain cares very much for America and her people.
Obama cares only for himself and his agenda.

I will vote for McCain and hope and pray that he wins for our country's sake.

Clinton supporters:
Please, please, please GET. OVER. IT.

This unnecessary war is costing us millions of dollars A MINUTE. Wouldn't you like your kids and grandkids to have school books without pages missing, and information from the last 10 years? THEN VOTE FOR OBAMA.

If Hillary was the nominee, I would be saying the same thing about her, have no doubt. BUT IT'S OVER.

We need you, Hill-fans! We're all Dems here. No hard feelings, right?

um wonder why McCain want townhall meeting? Obama don't < McCain set the the pace or tone in this election continue to be your own man. Continue to have your rallys as well town hall meeting. McCain surely cannot draw the people like you can at rallys and he knows it as well. Invite him to one of your rallys to discuss the issues see if he will accept.

To all you "disenfranchised democrats". By your measure I am probably a child, and so by your eye probably lacking in knowledge. I can tell you, however, that Barack Obama is the most inspirational person I have ever seen. Even if he had lost to Hillary, though, I would have voted for her. I may dislike her but they both stand for the same thing. A democrat is a democrat, and if you think otherwise shame on you. If you can call yourself a democrat then you will agree with Obama's views much more than McCain's. Do you really want him as president? I understand you may not like him as a person - in many cases unreasonably so - but would you really want 4 more years of almost literally George Bush? Ask yourself that. It becomes a sad world when a "child" can think more logically than nearly 35% of Hillary supporters.

I AM DESPERATE TO LEAVE A BETTER WORLD TO MY DAUGHTER, and coming generations.

We must make investments NOW to get us off oil. Its going to take time, but if we don't start now, it will be too late.

That is why I must vote for Obama. I trust him to INVEST IN AMERICA - and in our future. I trust him to not play the old Washington games that have got us stuck in a legislative stalemate over the environment.

Obama got my support when he refused lobbyist money and said he'd invest in education, teachers, and have health care meetings not dominated by lobbyists, and protect social security.

We must top spending our kids future in Iraq. We must invest in the US.

Since I care about the future of the Supreme Court I WILL BE VOTING DEMOCRATIC IN THE FALL however I just wanted to remind everyone that the "mainstream media" is really CORPORATE MEDIA they have a vested interest in keeping the hatred flowing in the Democratic Party we must remember these corporations are for the most part Repulbican leaning … DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT…. stay strong … stay Democratic …. GO OBAMA GO!!!!

It is hard to believe how immature the Clinton supporters are being. They really need to grow up and behave like adults. Hillary and Barracks proposed policies were nearly identical proving my point that they are threatening to vote against Obama purely out of spite. I really don't think Obama will need these voters to defeat McCain in November. He will take advantage of the 18-40 age groups who see something very refreshing in Obama's campaign, transparency.

YEA THIS IS THE MAN THAT TRASHED OUR ECONOMY

WITH HIS 100 YEAR WAR. HE DOES NOTHING BUT LIE

ABOUT EVERYTHING INCLUDING ALL THE THINGS

BUSH LIED ABOUT.

Just watch……………………obama will not want a question/answer format with the audience. Instead he will want to give a speech. AND he'll want to speak AFTER McCain. The fool is nothing but an empty suit.
McCain 08

What kind of man if you can call him one would leave his wife after she has gotten into a car accident and get badly hurt? John McSame.

Write in Hillary if you like, but be aware that most states do not count write-in votes in a presidential general election, unless the candidate files as a write-in. And some states don't count them at all. If you don't believe me, Google it.

THIS IS A VERY SMALL MAN WITH EVEN A SMALLER

MIND, TRYING TO UNDERMINED SENATOR OBAMA.

Obama talks about being a uniter and respecting Hillary and her voters but do his actions follow his words? Doesn't appear like it. While Clinton was giving her speech on Saturday where was Obama? He was playing GOLF. Another sign of lack of respect and arrogance by the ELITIST OBAMA. Another reason for Hillary supporters to vote for McCain.

—-no ABC
—-no Bloomberg

Only CSPAN or PBS.

What will McCain say? Lets stay in Iraq barack wants to "surrender" altho there isnt anyway of getting out of a war against extremist they are like cockroaches, gas prices are bad and obama opposes a "gas holiday" which would save three cents in the long run one once the speculators and oil companies raise the price of gas anyways. He will say obama wants universal health care but I can give u a credit on your taxes altho 47 million kids women and men dont have health care..due to the lack of jobs who pays for it, money because they dont have a job to pay for the high prices the doctors charge per visit. What will he say about all the americans in the housing melt down? U guys are doing ok, our economy is doing great! No. its Past time for change, we dont want more of the same, From Citizen McCain and Republican party

Dear Hillary supporters,
Please come to our side and support Barack Obama. We are begging you all. We need you. Pleaseee? Just for the sake of thousands of dying Americans and Iraqis? Wouldn't you feel ashamed if because of your vote for McSame or not voting at all, the war goes on forever, and thousands more die?

Bloomberg is itching to become a VP candidate on either, or both, tickets.

What will McCain say? Lets stay in Iraq barack wants to "surrender" altho there isnt anyway of getting a war against extremist they are like cockroaches, gas prices are bad and obama opposes a "gas holiday" which would say three cents in the long one once the speculators and oil companies raise the price of gas anyways.

To all you puerile Democrats (the words go together nicely, don't they?) who bray that you're going to vanquish John McCain, why don't you first pick up a copy of Garner's Guide to Modern American Usage? Then, perhaps you could understand how ignorant you sound. Believe me, this would be a better use of your time than the deadening bromides you write.

Everybody needs to calm down before swearing up and down who you will and won't vote for come November. Some of the Hillary supporters are backing themselves into a corner with their rhetoric, and it's one that they just might regret. Do you really want to tell your grandkids in twenty years that you voted for McCain out of anger? Let's everybody relax a little bit and really think about what each of the candidates stand for.

For all you "no Hillary = I vote for Mccain" I dare you to go look up him laughing about Hillary being called the B-word on youtube. Just type in John Mccain its one of the top videos…then come back and complain about so-called Obama sexism. Got any smart comments to cover up that one??? Wonder why this isnt being made public??

THIS RACE IS ABOUT 2 PEOPLE MCCAIN AND OBAMA…DISGRUNTLED HILLARY…ITES NEED TO GET A LIFE …YOU HAVE 2 CHOICES PICK ONE AND GROW UP! NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR BOO HOO….ING….

Obama struggles when he is in an unscripted situation. McCain struggles in scripted situations. The town hall style debates are going to be a clear advantage for McCain. Obama can give a great speech but his writers won't be there for him when somebody asks a question he isn't realy for.

ABC, what a joke? They should never use ABC at all. Just think how biased it was towards Obama.

HOW WILL MCCAIN BE ABLE TO DO A TOWN HALL MTG W/OUT A TELEPROMPTER?

MaCain is doing the right thing, that is throw the media away. They have over stepped their boundary

Obama should not be under McCain's pressure for a debate at the moment. He only secure the normination a couple of hours ago or days ago. He has his own plans as well and when the time is right McCacain's camp will be disorganised simple b'cos he is dealing with a small town organiser - Obama'08

WHY are you Clinton and Obama supporters STILL carrying on in such a childish manner? DO you guys not get that your on the SAME team? What part of teamwork don't you people understand!!!

Clinton Supporters - Are you so bitter that you are willing to betray your on candidate? It was very clear in Sen. Clinton's gracious speech yesterday that she urged ALL her supporters to UNITE and support Sen. Obama so that we ALL win in putting a Democratic President in Office. I mean is this how you HONOR your candidate by such betrayal and vindictiveness? That's TRULY a dishonor on your part. It's a TRUE SLAP IN Sen. Clinton's face from people who claim to "support her". How SAD is that.

Obama Supporters - YOU need to STOP with the Clinton Bashing. It's OVER and Sen. Clinton ran a good race and she lost. She has honored Sen. Obama by endorsing him and graciously supporting him and encouraging her supporters to do the same. She has publicly stated that she will BACK SEN. OBAMA for the Presidency. So ENOUGH with the Clinton Bashing,

The primary race is OVER and DONE. STOP rehashing the PAST, STOP talking about shoulda, coulda, woulda. IT'S OVER. We can't go back and we shouldn't. We need to move forward and FOCUS on the BIGGER PICTURE HERE. We need to UNITE if we are going to BEAT John McShame. We better start acting like a TEAM or we are going to LOSE the championship game and all YOU whinners will be the cause of the LOST!!

STOP fighting, IT'S NOT HELPFUL and IT DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING!! THE PRIMARY IS OVER. There is only ONE Democratic Party now. Sen. Clinton has jumped on board and we need to MOVE forward and focus on winning. Bottom line.

I'm SICK and TIRED of all these petty and vindictive comments in this blog. This is NOT about YOU…. so get OVER yourselves!!!

If you want to vote for John McBush, then go vote for John McBush, but a true democrat would NEVER be such a traitor for selfish reasons. Only "closet" Republicans would do and state such a thing.

A TRUE DEMOCRAT would never abandon their party because of their selfish egos….that's absurd.

Bottom line, it's time both the Obama and Clinton supporters REALIZE that this is about winning in November and if they WANT to WIN, then they better STOP with the trashing and bashing and start putting their money where their mouths are!!!!

Talk is CHEAP, it's your actions that matter!!

I did not support Sen. Clinton, but if she had won the nomination, you bet you
