Watch Sen. McCain's comments about Sen. Clinton from last week.

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. John McCain incorrectly denied this weekend that he had made a remark criticizing media coverage of Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid during his election night speech near New Orleans, telling an interviewer that he was “not in the business of commenting on the press.”

But the presumptive Republican nominee had delivered the comment in question.

A Newsweek interviewer asked McCain about whether reporters had been fair to Clinton during her presidential run, pointing out that the presumptive Republican nominee had said during his Tuesday night speech that “the media hadn't recognized, or had overlooked some of the attributes that Hillary Clinton had brought to the race.”

McCain denied making the remark. “I did not [say that] - that was in prepared remarks, and I did not [say it] - I'm not in the business of commenting on the press and their coverage or not coverage,” he responded.

The Arizona senator added, “I can't change any of the coverage that I know of, except to just campaign as hard as I can and try to seek the approval of the majority of my fellow citizens. It is something that the American people will judge, and I won't complain about it and I won't praise it. I will just run my campaign and hope that the American people will make a judgment.”

But in his election night address, McCain had taken a swipe at the press. “Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage,” he said. “The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans and she deserves a lot more appreciation than she sometimes receives.” WATCH McCain's comment here.

Some of Clinton's strongest supporters have complained that she received unfair treatment from journalists during her presidential run. McCain's campaign has made a special effort to appeal to disappointed Clinton backers in the days since she ended her White House run.

CNN has asked the McCain campaign for comment.

While, he may have had a 'senior moment', chances are that he will just lie, then lie, then lie. Like he did to Romney in the debates. Lie, (grotesque smile), Lie (grotesque smile), "my friends", Lie, (grotesque smile). That's McDepends MO.

McCain is too funny... My co-worker calls him, "The Nutcracker"–Due to how he holds up his arms. He's so stiff.. LOL!

What a fool, that's right up there with "I don't think I was in the pew during that sermon" or "I didn't vote for the Iraq war" (didn't vote period) or "William Ayers is not my friend" or "Father Pleger I have known for 20 years, but he's not my friend" or "rural blue collar voters are bitter" or "I am a Professor or, or , or, or, or,

Are you starting to get the picture. Cnn won't post this because it doesn't fit THEIR version of events.

Michael   June 9th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

No one took Clinton"s nomination from her, she lost it. The reason the press got all over her was because she accused Obama of stuff she and her campaign were guilty of. She became negative first. She lied, she mislead. Are you forgetting Mark Penn. Are you forgetting "Shame on you"? Are you forgetting how she constantly attacked Obama, making fun of him saying"The skies will open Choirs will sing"? Every vote counts? Give me a break. Clinton could care less about the voter. When she started her campaign it was all about the delegates, then her story changed and you people bought into it hook line and sinker. Lets not even bring up sniper fire. But go ahead and vote for McCain and see what happens to your right to choose. Obama and Clinton agree on 99 percent of the issues but you are so pissed off because you think this was stolen from you. How democratic is it to have a primary with only candidate? A primary where that same candidate pledged she would not participate in. You Clinton supporters who are voting for McCain are brain washed. Vote for MCain, you get what you deserve. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

A CANUCK   June 9th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

I doubt it......but I hope the Clintons feel SOME humiliation or remorse when all the nasty things they said about Obama....start showing up in McCains ads.....All their diatribes are now fodder for the Repulicans!

noemi   June 9th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Nice Job Johnny Boy, trying to appeal to Clinton-Democrats. Your pathetic pity is not going to work; you are not a Democrat, you stand opposite of everything Democrats believe. No thank you!

1st Mrs. McCain is a HERO..   June 9th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

McForgot is not capable fo running this country.. America will need to sstudy his VP choice carefully cause that is the person who will be the president.. unlesss... there is a cover-up ...like Regan...

.......... Remember Regan ... ??

Mike Birmingham, AL   June 9th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

When is the last time any of you talked to a 71 year old person?

Even if they were in good health – would you let them run the country?

No, you wouldn't – and this is why.

Listen Up...   June 9th, 2008 6:50 pm ET

Basically, I don't care what kind of coverage or non-converage she received. I was just trying to make nice with her supporters so that they can lash out at Obama and support me. By the time I send their sons and daughters off to Iran, it will be too late, I'll already be Prez. Hooray for me!

James Carville   June 9th, 2008 6:47 pm ET

I was a big John McCain supporter and send money to his campaign.

However, he is losing my support rapidly with gaffes like this.

Confuising Shiites and Sunnis is another faux pas that is not comprehendable from a man who has a SON IN IRAQ (McCain's 19 year old son is stationed there).

Calling Obama the "candidate of Hamas" was also in poor taste.

John, John, John! I am a big fan and want to vote for you, but you are making it hard to do!

Whatever happened to the "honorable campaign" you were going to run? Are you really going to go the Rove Route?

Pundits say its the only way you'll get elected. That is too bad, because it would have been better if it was a clean win.

Texan for Progression   June 9th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Hey Nick,

What does America have to show for McCain's 22 YEARS of experience? In my opinion, his experience hasn't even afforded him the foresight to disalign himself from the party that has, on so many levels, tanked America in just 7 years. At least Obama is a beacon of hope, who clearly "gets it" and is providing a path to returning America to its rightful place. I'm sick to my stomach of the "experience" argument. All our politicians, on both sides of the isle, are "experienced" at is manipulation. I say no thanks to "experience", I'll have fresh and untainted instead.

Florence   June 9th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Why is McCain changing his speeches or what he believes as if he is copying from Obama? He now uses 'change', he says troops should stay in Iraq for 100 years, then he changes to 2013, and where is the Holiday tax? I am still waiting for the help? You just cannot believe he anything he says. To come out and try and get the women votes, he sounds so fake.

skylark   June 9th, 2008 6:43 pm ET

Mc Cain/Hillary=
Sex, lies and videotape.
Oh yes, and let us not forget: Bill scandals.(Starting in Arkansas)
And while we are at it: Cindy stealing drugs from the poor to support her pain killer addiction. Oh yes. It is true. (She was never punished.)
They both win the dirty laundry contest.

Michael Sheridan, Grand Rapids, MI   June 9th, 2008 6:35 pm ET

C'mon, guys – "incorrectly denied"? He didn't do anything "incorrectly" – he understood exactly what he was saying, and he knew what he was saying wasn't true. Those of us who don't get invited with the rest of our media buddies to attend barbecues at one of John McCain's 9 houses generally call this "a lie."

When you guys start calling it a "lie", too, is when journalists will start earning some respect again.

FactCheck   June 9th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Wow McCain has so much more experiences... we should go with experience. You know who has a lot of experience? Dick Cheney. How about Donald Rumsfeld, he has a lot too. Maybe that Ted Stevens guy so we can build a bridge to nowhere for the next 4 years.

Ralph   June 9th, 2008 6:32 pm ET

John. Do you really think that praising Hilllary will turn her supporters over to you like mindless idiots? You are going to have your head handed to you in Nov. It will be by historical margins.

Alicia   June 9th, 2008 6:30 pm ET

FLIP FLOP! FLIP FLOP! FLIP FLOP! FLIP FLOP! FLIP FLOP!

This is what happens when you get older........like the horrendous speech he gave when Obama WON the Democratic nomination. Did McBush sue his speech writer? I would have. And the copying Change, the right Change. He scared my grandson with his facial expressions.

McBush will let us all know how he feels on women's right to choose, not voting on veterans benefits to be increased, and thinking it is the homeowners fault with the foreclosures.

McBush! FLIP FLOPPER!

Brian   June 9th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

I can no longer support John McCain. I CANNOT vote for the same person now pandering for Clinton's votes. Talk about a flip flop. I will now be voting Libertarian.

Thank you and good riddance to the GOP

What do you expect, the man cannot remember what he said yesterday. He is 72 years old, who should have retired and enjoy his retirement. John McCain you are not going to be the President of United States. We cherish you for your service to our Country. Happy retirement goodbye!

Cynthia   June 9th, 2008 6:19 pm ET

Senator McCain tends to forget too much stuff for me. Either he is a liar or something else is going on. He is always talking about the straight talk express. Makes you wonder doesn't it?

Texan for Progression   June 9th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

The Democratic party is extremely flawed, but its prevailing focus has been, as of late, for the benefit of the common American. The Republican party has primarily focused on making the wealthy wealthier. This holds true today. Evidenced in the very campaigns of each party is the notion that the strength of the party's base, its core constituency, is what determines which party will be the last one standing over the subsequent four years. When will republicans, and defecting dems, realize that the same holds true for this nation? That the nation is only as strong as its weakest citizen. That the nation can't outsource what would otherwise be income to its citizens to other nations and substain its national economy. Americans, Dems and Repubs alike, WAKE-UP and work together!!!

Michael   June 9th, 2008 6:18 pm ET

McCain cheated on his wife. He was with his current wife while he was still married. Gee, what a nice guy. He sure is honest.

Clinton Supporters come on. IF you vote for McCain then you will DOOM all of us.

I realize how disappointed you are in losing the nomination but YOU CANNOT Vote for McCain.

If McCain becomes President the economy will worsen, the war will lengthen, your children and grandchildren will be forced into a DRAFT to support this war, we will be paying $10/gallon for gas, Students won't be able to afford College, and we will get Supreme Court Judges that will reverse all the rights of women and families.

PLEASE THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE>
America can't afford McCain in the White House

Americans for america   June 9th, 2008 6:06 pm ET

Democrats Beware!

Republicans have launched a blogosphere campaign where they claim to be Democrats who will vote for Senator McCain since Senator Clinton is not the democratic nominee!

Do not be fooled!

This is nothing more than republican tricknology, Karl Rovian VODOO; Of course all real democrats would NEVER vote for George W. Bush’s third term, ENDLESS war, overturning of Roe V. Wade, or more record profits and tax breaks for oil companies while the average American spending power continues to thin.

Be Brave Democrats and be watchful!

With a majority Democratic legislature and a Democratic President we can see real change not gridlock! Wake up Dems do not be fooled.

Cathy   June 9th, 2008 6:05 pm ET

That ok, we will support McCain because the DNC cannot tell us what to do any longer. I will await for Clinton for 2012.

mike   June 9th, 2008 6:03 pm ET

What do you think this guy would be saying if Hillary became the nominee? All you Hillary supporters who blame Barack Obama for Hillary's loss and now are exacting revenge have no idea how much worse the treament would have been from the McCain camp. So you all are trying to punish Obama? For what? For winning? Say what you will, Obama ran a cleaner campaign than Hillary and a far more effective one. So why are you all up in arms? If you have a problem with the media coverage, fine. But face reality, Obama does not deserve the disdain of Hillary's supporters the same way Hillary didn't deserve it. The hypocrisy on this is hard to understand. Go ahead and support McCain, then keep quiet when he pushes through policies that offend Hillary and everything she stands for.

MD   June 9th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

I am sure Senator McCane was sincere when he insisted that he did not criticize the media.

There are two reasons:

1. Senator McCane is 71 years old. I remember my father at that age saying, "If I could remember things, I wouldn't be retired."

2. Speech writers write these speeches. Candidates hardly involve themselves in the process. Campaign staff usually have these speeches ready with a small window for the candidates to digest. They just read them off of teleprompters.

If anyone challenges McCane to give a summary of his speech, all he will probably remember is using the silly line "that is not a change we can believe in." He also may rember that he was told to grin every time he said that.

Ray Ito   June 9th, 2008 6:02 pm ET

McCain is suffering from both short-term ans long-term memory loss.

He doesn't even remember that Bush's policies have failed

Loretta from California   June 9th, 2008 6:00 pm ET

We will give him the benefit of the doubt and say he just forgot. It happens.

Jaci   June 9th, 2008 5:48 pm ET

HIllary supporters who are not sure of Obama:: Look into McCain's past. See what he did to his first wife after she was in an awful auto accident!!! Married pretty little Cindy 1 month after the divorce. Then there is the "Keating 5″. Now he is having trouble remembering! If McCain gets in your children will not have health care, public education, social security and the only jobs they will get are working in or for the military in Iraq. Shall we talk about what he will do for women's rights? McCain is a crook with no heart. He is narcistic like Bush and only cares about his own self and money. Obama cares and will change Washington!!! No lobbiests, no PAC. We the people of the US will be his lobbiests and he will do the very best he can for us!

Thank you Karen! Hillary supporters do your homework! Don't put our fate in the hands of this creep!

Hillary – The only honest politician left.

After you fools vote for McSame you will forget too. The early signs are there. How many more do you need to see? You will know after ten town hall debates.
Hillary supporters will waist yet another vote.

Obama is a phony anyway. The second the media starts covering one of his opinions, he changes it. That's "change" right there coming from OUR pockets.

Go McCain!

Loretta from California   June 9th, 2008 5:43 pm ET

Everyone stop being disrespectful to Senator Clintons supporters. Welcome those who want to support Senator Obama. Those who want to support Senator McCain should be out campaigning for him. He will need quite a bit of help in my State, and you have every right to vote for whomever you choose.

I was a Clinton supporter and Now I am for Senator Obama. But above all, I am a DEMOCRAT AND DARN PROUD OF IT.

The press and reporters treated Senator Clinton very unfairly. Anyone following knows this. Especially John McCain and Barak Obama. They were the benefactors by this abuse so of course mums was the word...now they want to come out and praise her??? pleeeeeeez!

shelly   June 9th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

The man is senile, the comments were televised and he still denies it, who puts him to bed at night, cindy, liberman, or graham? Do people really want this man running our country, pray, God Help Us!

Brian, NJ   June 9th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

You know, if Obama lost and his supporters were saying they were going with McCain, all of you Hillary supporters would be going nuts as well that we would not unite under your candidate. And many of you Obama supporters would be saying McCain or stay home instead of voting for Hillary thinking HE got screwed because he was black (versus Hillary supporters who incorrectly think she got screwed because she is a woman).

Unite or Die folks. This Democratic civil war will not bring the soldiers home, improve the economy, provide healthcare to everyone, etc. And she will not win in 2012 is he loses because his supporters (of which there are MORE) will enact retribution and continue this stupid civil war. Her best chance at being President is Obama winning and running in 2016.

A vote against Obama is a vote for more soldier's dying and more uninsured people dying, plain and simple. And is what you Clinton supporters would be saying if it was the other way around.

Texas Independent   June 9th, 2008 5:40 pm ET

I think it is time for Sen Clinton supporters to stop being hateful, if some of you choose to vote for McCain, that is your choice. But no more "If not Hillary, then McCain" the message was recieved. Start defending your candidate on substance and principles instead of hating the other side. For those supporters who choose to support Sen Obama, congratulations on being open-minded and a true democrat.

Obama supporters, taunting Hillary's supporters gets noting done, start defending your candidate against McCain

B Jiggy   June 9th, 2008 5:37 pm ET

Obama had more people vote for him in GA, then McCain and Huckabee combined. In Iowa he had more people vote for him than, McCain, Huckabee, Romney, and the other two republicans combined! I think we'll be ok w/o the few voters claiming that they'll vote for McCain since Clinton lost.

And as Hillary said on Saturday....Yes We Can!!!!

Go Obama!!!!

Who said: Who is Cindy???   June 9th, 2008 5:36 pm ET

The BO supporters continue to demonstrate their immaturity and the media keeps buying it. HC was far and away so superior and once again, the best candidate will not be elected.

It looks like JM will lilkely be the next President and the Dems will wonder why. How the Dems could have missed such an opportunity is mind boggling. BO has no experience and there will be some more revelations that will turn off lots of independents.

Whata tragedy!!

Google "John McCain's YouTube Program Just Became a Nightmare"

The video lasts just more than three minutes. But that's long enough to raise some nasty doubts about John McCain's reputation as a straight talker.

There's the Arizona senator arguing both sides of President Bush's tax cuts. Here's the supposed foreign policy wizard flubbing the simple facts about which terrorists are being trained in Iran. He's even ducking his own admission that he needs to learn more about economics.

The newsreel of McCain lowlights has zoomed up the YouTube charts in the last week, with more than 1.5 million views. "John McCain's YouTube Problem Just Became a Nightmare" is the video's title, which might be dismissed as partisan hype but for one thing: It's true.

flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flop

Cathy   June 9th, 2008 5:28 pm ET

The long resumes of the Bush administration got us where????...In a horrible economy, highest jump in the past 20 year for unemployment; a war that is never ending and possible one with Iran and a healthcare system that doesn't work for everyone.

So save that experience argument because McCain's experience did no good when he voted for a war that he now admits had error in going in. McCain's experience does no good when he tries to campaign this pathetic gas tax holiday...so SPARE US!!!!!

john texas   June 9th, 2008 5:27 pm ET

Why do you keep posting this crap on every ticker? Clinton had it all money, power, and the backing of over half of party insiders and this was before 1 single vote was cast in the primary. Obama had to work hard to get is name out there, raise money, and win over millions of people who thought that Clinton was the nominee in waiting. If you're going to be bitter, then be bitter, but dont try to use lies and bs to take away what Obama has accomplished. GET LOST.
I'm sure you are a right wing nut anyway.

John W., Milwaukee, WI   June 9th, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I guess this is like Senator Obama saying Rev. Wright is like his uncle and he can no longer reject him than he can his family... then, within a week he throws Rev. Wright under the bus!

And then... he throws his church under the bus!

Yes, Judgment... that's what this clown lacks!

Regan..senile
Bush senior...not very bright
Clinton...Bubba..
Bush Junior...what can I say...an amoeba got elected
Gramps...all of the above

Raymond Duke   June 9th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

I know McCain made the remark that the media was unfair to Clinton. He called in right and now is trying to back track to keep the media from trying to crucify and show their bais to Obama against him. He needs to remain with his first truthful statement. I t won't make any difference and will not help him as far as the media outlets of cnn and pmsnbc. They are bought off are so filled with their white guilt they won't back him anyway,. He doesn't have to worry fox will be their to keep the playing field level. At lot of people and the media are scared of the blacks rioting if Obam loses. Let them riot if they want to. Usually it is their neighbor hoods that suffer.

Alice - NYC   June 9th, 2008 5:25 pm ET

Keep it up Obama folks:

You have managed to insult – white women, blue collar workers, residents of Michigan/Florida/Kentucky/West Virginia, Latinos, senior citizens, Jews and you call your campaign one of unity.

No rioting or looting when you loose in November.

Tired of Idiots   June 9th, 2008 5:23 pm ET

I can't believe how childish some of you Clinton supporters are. Voting for McCain just because your candidate lost. That is rediculous. This guy can' t even remember which audience he is pandering to. BE SERIOUS. How many of you actually believe that his views fall in line with Hillary's? Those of you that do really haven't been paying much attention to the campaign and those of you that don't and say I just won't vote for Obama are idiots. You won't be happy until all of us are living like we're in a third world country. And all of you that do want to vote for McCain don't forget to enlist the day after elections.

This is just one lie of many that McCain has told. Do some research folks -you'll see that pretty much every time MCain opens his mouth there comes a misstatement, an over-exaggeration, a gaffe, in other words, lies.

karen   June 9th, 2008 5:21 pm ET

HIllary supporters who are not sure of Obama:: Look into McCain's past. See what he did to his first wife after she was in an awful auto accident!!! Married pretty little Cindy 1 month after the divorce. Then there is the "Keating 5". Now he is having trouble remembering! If McCain gets in your children will not have health care, public education, social security and the only jobs they will get are working in or for the military in Iraq. Shall we talk about what he will do for women's rights? McCain is a crook with no heart. He is narcistic like Bush and only cares about his own self and money. Obama cares and will change Washington!!! No lobbiests, no PAC. We the people of the US will be his lobbiests and he will do the very best he can for us!

If you Hillary supporters think she can run again in 2012 if Obama loses are living in that fantasy land President Bill was talking about. The Clintons are now apart of what you call HISTORY...Unfortunately for you, her political future rides on Obama's success. So if you love her like you say you do, then you better get on the Obama Express.

Anyone who thinks that is okay, vote for McCain. Anyone who thinks the money can be spent in a better place, don't vote for McCain.

Anyone who can afford $5, $6, $7 etc. etc. a gallon for gas, vote for McCain. Anyone who can't afford it, don't vote for McCain.

Anyone who thinks the wealthy should have tax cuts and pay less porportionatly than the poor, vote for McCain. Anyone who thinks that idea stinks, don't vote for McCain.

Anyone who thinks they need to eat better meals, feed their children better food, get better educations, get a better job or a job at all, don't vote for McCain. Anyone who is all set economically, lots of money invested and in the bank, vote for McCain.

McCain doesn't equal Hillary. So why vote for McCain? McCain doesn't want Universal health care, etc. So why vote for McCain? 4 years is a long time to go through hell. Haven't we had enough? Vote Democrat. Vote Obama.

Did you know that Obama is like 95% the same as Hillary when it comes to the issues? Don't blame him for things he can't control like the media or the DNC rules. Don't take out your frustration on the American people. Majority of Americans can't suffer through 4 more years of Bush policies, and yes, McCain is just like Bush when it comes down to the economy, and the war in Iraq. Two big issues. Obama is just like Hillary. Hillary wouldn't endorse Obama if he was the total opposite? Remember she didn't endorse McCain!

To Nick,
If McCain has 22 years in the Senate, he should have been 49 when elected. Obama is 46 and has 22 years of public service. So you don't count that experience. What did McCain learn during those 22 years in the Senate? Probably he can't remember anything since his memory is not good at all. He can't remember what he said last week how is this guy experinced if he can't remember what he learned during those years?
This is the guy you want for president. Think don't hate. Vote the future not the yesterday.

Uncle Sam   June 9th, 2008 5:07 pm ET

Obama has NO experience to lead this country period. He talks a good game but that is all. McCain has proven himself by serving his country in war time with honors.

Even more unpatriotic than Mega-Corps acquiring unprecedented and, in many cases, unsubstantiated wealth at the expense of American citizens is the American media toying with American citizens in the name of ratings, which also translates to corporate wealth.

Case in point, CNN implies in this article that a Clinton supporter wrote, ""I love her and will vote for her in 2012, but it's McCain all the way now,"". On the surface I would argue that CNN reports this without ever attempting to confirm that the poster was truly a Clinton supporter, which suggests that CNN is incompetent. However, after close examination of the wording in this article, I find that it only "implies" that this is a Clinton-supporter posting; thus, providing deniability of incompetence. The question now becomes "WHY". It is to keep us (American citizens) engaged in a civil war that is waged, in large part, through the media, which translates into what....DING – Ratings!!!!! They fuel all emotions that result in divisiveness, while racking up ratings and leaving behind a trail of destruction. WE MUST BEGIN RECONCILING OUR DIFFERENCES AND IDENTIFYING OUR TRUE COMMON ENEMIES.

Clinton is a democrat for all those that don't seem to remember what party they registered for. Not very long ago they were the people saying that Obama Supporters were voting for him because we thought he was some sort of Messiah. Just listen to yourselves. You are the ones who sound like you have some hero worship going on here. You folks are the very reason that people like me have become so disgusted with politics. It's as if you are worried more about your own feelings that what is best for your country. Do you not care about the soldiers who are dying or your neighbors who are struggling and loosing their homes. Apparently you are the ones who are elitist because no one struggling right now would look at McCain and think that he can do ANYTHING to help everyday Americans.

I don't think it's in the card for Clinton to be McCain's veep, LS, but I do hope McCain muddies the water here even more by choosing a moderate Republican WOMAN for the #2 spot. That would set the DNC, Obama, and the entire Democrat electorate on its ear! Kay Bailey Hutchison jumps immediately to mind, or Olympia Snow. Conde Rice has said no, at least publicly, but a genuine opportunity would be pretty tough for her refuse, especially now that her competition would be Obama. EXPERIENCE COUNTS IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

You cannot continue to disrespect the Democratic nominee and expect his supporters to continue to turn a blind eye. Your continuous threats, are really old now. Step into the present and recognize that this country needs an enema. Stop being distracted by nonsense that has nothing to do with the future of our country. McCain was a captured POW, okay. But the Republicans have flushed this country farther down the toilet with each time that one of them was in office. It is time to turn the tide, already.

I am a disabled combat Marine veteran and John McCain states he is one of us, but that upsets me. He voted against the new GI bill, lost his temper when he was speaking to a mother of a POW/MIA on Capitol Hill, wants the war to continue and uses the military as a political tool, when the military defends the constitution, not a party. Just think if we had all the money that has been spent on the Iraqi war, the economy won't be in the mess it is in, we wouldn't be in this foreclosure mess, and gas prices would be stable. Alot a republicans state they are going to vote republican, but when they get in the voting booth it will be different.

Age has nothing to do with this but...... Bottom line is that McCain says whatever the thinks at the time but doesn't really mean it. I don't trust a word out of his mouth because he has 5 different positions on one issue.

It's hard to remember things you've said when it's not really your true feelings.

I cant hold my head in shame for my countrymen and women.

Shawna   June 9th, 2008 4:49 pm ET

I don't understand how voting against your own interests is a vote for Hillary, everyone crying that they are voting for McCain since hillary lost, shows that they are not voting on the issues, but that they are voting based on race, gender, and a host of non kitchen table issues. You didn't vote for hillary because you liked her policies because they are very starkly different from McCains. Obama's policies are closer to McCain's in comparison to Clinton. So this how I know people voting for McCain since Hillary lost, are not voting based on the issues.

DEMOCRATS HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME, If they are trick to believe that Maccain speaks for them.
Maccain knew that on that day many people of whom have voted for Hillary to see Hillary defeated will be disappointed and Maccain wants to spoil their minds in bring them to him.

Open your eyes,Well cnn you have to stop these kind of posting, I believe most Hillary supporters will vote for Obama. Primary is a process to select a candidate not a process to split party. Democrats doesn't practice monarchy so therefore its most go through series primaries and caucuses to choose a candidate.

I believe most people who said they were Hillary supporters and won't vote for Obama are Republicans.

Some states allowed both parties to vote either ways and its doesn't means they will vote the same way comes general election.

Mind you this is facts , those people are not DEMOCRATS and they are there to convince disappointed democrats to vote for Maccain. DEMOCRATS BEWARE.
Maccain also have a lots of repair to do in his own party, because many republicans will not vote for him. Maccain is a trick star will support bad thing to enginal negativities among disappointed loyal Hillary supporters.

Maccain has nothing in common with Hillary except you are not a true democrats then you may vote for Maccain or not vote.

How can you vote for McCain who laughed when Senator Clinton was called a female dog (I have the link but cnn won't post my comment if I include the link), or when he made a really bad joke about Chelsea Clinton who was only 18 at the time (I have the link but cnn won't post my comment if I include the link)

frank   June 9th, 2008 4:46 pm ET

The argument is really rather elementary. ARE YOU BETTER OFF THE 4 OR 8 YEARS AGO. Now here is the logic. If the answer is yes then vote for McCain.

If the answer is an emphatic no as in my case, then why do we listen to the same pundits that are asking you to vote for McCain that told you to vote for George Bush. If our financial advisor told us to invest in stuff that constantly leads us to losing money, then why would we continue to listen to them. And isnt this more important than our money? So why listen to Billo, Hannity, Laura Ingram, Bill Kristol, Limbaugh, Fox etc etc and lead us astray. Arent we supposed to learn from our mistake and understand bad advise when we see it or at least bad advisors?

GEORGE BUSH THE WORST PRESIDENT EVERRRR!!!!!

Clinton Democrat   June 9th, 2008 4:45 pm ET

I'm an ardent Hillary supporter who was one who decided to vote for McCain in November. I simply thought Obama didn't have enough experience, and I bought into all the talk about Obama and Clinton having many policy differences.

I made a mistake and realize that I was overreacting emotionally. These constant 'mistakes' on McCain's part have highlighted this. Having this man as president would be a huge mistake.

The truth is Clinton and Obama share almost all the same views and opinions. Fortunately, I saw the light early. I'm sure many others will over time. Hopefully, more come back to the good side before November – before they make a horrible mistake.

REAL CHANGE   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

All the HRC supporters who do not like Obama need to get past this primary and start backing the one person who can still deliver what you want. That person is NOT McCain. All of you know this. Obama did not "steal" the nomination and HRC has ENDORSED him. One minute you all say you will follow her and now you won't listen to her. Makes no sense to me.

You gotta walk the walk   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

So racism is appalling to you people but discriminating based on age is ok? People like you are what is wrong with this country, how about we speak of Mccain's failures as a senator, in his policies, in whether or not we believe in his ability to effectively lead this country, I am on one hand so proud to see America nominate a black man hopefully based on being inspired and encouraged that we can take back our country and thrive but then I read the hateful comments about a man who truly is a patriot and who truly has served this country and deserves more respect than this. He may not be the right man for the presidency and he may not be what America needs right now so don't vote for him is it really necessary to be so rude and hateful? Isn't that exactly what senator Obama is saying needs to change? Hypocrites.

Kevin of Ohio   June 9th, 2008 4:44 pm ET

McCain should stop acting afriad of the Media retaliating if he opposes their comments.

McCain show Your COURAGE and call them on it when the media makes prejudice sexist statements. This will just show that You Have Values that you defend.

Clinton Supporter   June 9th, 2008 4:43 pm ET

I hope McCain is overwhelmed with Clinton supporters jumping off a sinking ship. Blitzer also seems to have come to the startling conclusion that some Clinton supporters are not happy, even after Barack began fawning all over Clinton.

I'm sure none of this is lost on Clinton herself. I hope she takes the Obama carefully delayed shows of "respect" into account and flatly refuses the VP slot. Because don't kid yourselves, whether it gets out or not, BO knows where his bread is buttered, and he will privately ask her first. Please say no, Hillary. You can tell us all about it after the Inauguration is over and McCain is our new president. Of course, we will all be shocked and horrified if Clinton supporters end up voting for the only gentleman in the race. Why would do a thing like that when they could have a racist and sexist president of the free world????

Elizabeth Dole, Obama supporters and especially die heart Clinton supporters: She said “Democrats had to choose between one candidate who said she’d obliterate Iran and another candidate who said he wants to invite Iranian leaders over for dinner and then maybe a chat after dinner with a good cigar-Cuban. I’d imagine. I don’t wan either of those two answering the White House telephone at 3 o’clock in the morning”.

James in Oregon   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

A big plus in McCain's memory lapses is , he won't be able to remember how bad he lost the election........LOL.

Franky   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Ohhh great!!! Can somebody please not make Senator McCain upset??? Let alone his short-term memory won't be as good as before....

Debbi   June 9th, 2008 4:37 pm ET

Jimmy,

What integrity? He slept around on his wife, dumped her to the curb because she was in a car accident and it left her disfigured then had the stones to marry the younger, more prettier, richer women. And you call THAT integrity???

This is for you Hillary supporters that will vote for McCain because your because your candidate didn’t get the nomination. How can you vote for a man who does that to a disabled wife after she stood by him the entire time he was a POW. I have nothing but respect for his service to this country but, I will not let that overshadow where he stands on the issues and on the future of the U.S.A. I will not vote lightly and nor should you.

Slected not Elected   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

all the paid bloggers, Obama, his supporters, the DNC, the party elite, and the mainstream media have conspired to marginalize the millions of Democrats who have voted for Hillary, and they will now be using every trick in the book to "bring the party together" to further their ruthless ambitions. They will want you to forget all about the months of biased press, the biased party elite, the insults, the sexist remarks, and the race-cards. They will want you to forget that the Democratic Party now is the party that stands for disenfranchisement of the voters and the rationalization of racism. They will use any method to persuade you to vote for the man who they have preordained as the Democratic nominee. DON'T FALL FOR IT!

HopeThrives   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

I feel sorry for you. You must not like what you see in the mirror. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where this hate comes from. We love ourselves, we love others. We hate ourselves, we hate others. Poor pathetic people on here that say no Hillary then McCain. As I see it, Obama doesn't need Hillary anyway. NEW POLLS, Hillary would do more damage than good. Independants (like me) and Republicans don't like her and they are extremely important come November!

Xavier, St. Louis, MO   June 9th, 2008 4:36 pm ET

McCain has a problem with remembering things, that's that old age that has settled in. Give him a couple-of-years he won't remember who he is. People do you really want to vote for someone who won’t remember what they said or done?

There are a lot of people on here that say they were Hillary supporters and now will vote McCain. They lie. What women would vote for someone who wants to take away her rights, wants to kill her kids, grandkids or neighbors kids in Iraq, wants to stop social security, doesn't want to do anything about the high cost of a college education. Why would any person want this man as President. His only plus is was experience, and he wants to use that experience to fight in Iraq, Iran and North Korea. We are all dead if you elect this guy.

Jason, Omaha, NE   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

expirience counts, just like George W. Bush had expirience and Clinton didn't. I will take my chance with someone with not as much expirience, just like Bill Clinton in 1992.

vote for mccain   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

It's crystal clear to me now why republicans are so much better suited to winning national elections. They are idea driven rather than person driven, They are disciplined. They believe no matter who their guy was in the primary, the REPUBLICAN is now their guy even if they hated him 14 minutes ago. They now LOVE their guy for a simple reason: THEY HATE OUR GUY. ( colloquial; not intended to be gender dismissive) They will work like dogs because their worst guy is better than our best guy.

We can exchange slights and hurt feelings if you want. I'd rather beat the republicans.

Mary   June 9th, 2008 4:34 pm ET

McSame not only lies but pandeers to women like he cares about their issues. In reality he voted against the childrens health bill and would have girls and women forced to seek back alley abortions even in the case of rape, incest, or inablity to afford to birth, feed, or shelter a child. He is not for women or childrens rights-he is a multimillionaire who is rich off the money his wife makes off of beer. He should at least be in favor of free alcohol treatment centers.

I never thought I would ever have more respect for Fox then CNN or MSNBC. However, quasi-journalists such as Matthews, Oberman, Cafferty and Martin have really turned me off. The only CNN journalists I respect at this point are Lou Dobbs and Wolf Blitzer. Also, note to CNN, we are sick of seeing Donna Brazile and Bill Bennett!!!

Marie in California   June 9th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Clinton DID receive unfair treatment from both the DNC and the MSM, and McCain was right to say so. He was only stating the obvious. In recent months, I have totally quit watching CNN and any network news.

I am so disgusted with the DNC that my Democratic vote will go to McCain this November. In fact, I think I am totally done with the DNC... forever.

Mike in IL   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Once again the media is twisting his words... do any of you ever look at the facts... do you look through every story with your Obama blinders on... McCain did not directly attack or say anything about the media coverage... he was giving Clinton the props she deserves and showing respect... all of you have way too much time on your hands and need to get a life!!! All of these blogs are getting out of control and CNN needs to stop posting some of this garbage because it is very divisive!!!

If you vote McCain you are the one in insane.

Just look around. McCain will be the new face of the problems America faces. Yes, he and his party got us into to this mess. The sad part is the Republician Party didn't even receive him well in the beginning. Even his 96 yrs Mother spoke about that.

And secondly, word around town is McCain was considering changing to an Independent. So he is not all that dedicated to the party himself.

rachel   June 9th, 2008 4:30 pm ET

Cnn is so biased. I mean i was just watching and they have a segment on Debunking Obama myths, then they do do something McCain and its McCain's harsh reality, oh sure the media coverage is is not biased at all.

Well, good lord McCain. Why don't you and Hillary make a run TOGETHER for white house – afterall, remember America Hillary was a Republican then turned democrat a long time ago but.........hey who knows.

And Hillary praised McCain during her campaign, McCain constantly praises her during his huh so-called speeches and then, there was Bill . Billie Bob demeaned, belittled, and lied on Senator Obama –

you guys really had it going on didn't you. I

t was like WAR OF THE WORLDS with all of you against Senator Obama. You McCain, Hillary and Bill looking and acting like those nasty, blood sucking aliens in the Tom Cruise movie. But guess what as in the movie, those aliens died off why????? AMERICAN SPIRIT AND THE WILL NOT TO GIVE UP - – - – - – - Not this time.

So again, I say to McCain

That's the excuse he'll use after he decides to invade Iran if he's president. Ask him about staying 100 years in Iraq. Oh wait, he doesn't remember that either.

A vote for McCain is a vote to place responsibility of your own actions on to someone else.

Why are Clinton Supporters wanting to change from Hilliary's Party to Hilliary's competitor? Isn't Hilliary still a part of the Democratic Party? So tell me again why they are changing parties?

Hilliary has not lost, she will lose if Obama loses. The party will blame her and she will not be allowed to run next time around or she may end up like Lieberman, the party traitor.

Short term memory = not good, especially for someone who is running for president of a country that is in a big mess.

Above all things Senator McCain is a 70 year Old man. This means his memory IS NOT as sharp as it was even 20 years ago. It is a scientific fact our bodies and brain goes though certain changes every 10 years...ITS JUST FACT
GUESS WHAT....THEY ARE NOT IMPROVEMENTS AFTER 50...
THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN...AND AGAIN...AND AGAIN..
The question is..Do Americans want a President with a fading memory???
We will find out in the next 5 months.

Robert in Toronto,ON   June 9th, 2008 4:25 pm ET

CNN is not the only news centre reporting this, so don't blame CNN for McCain's gaffe!

I mean cmon...when Obama was being torn down about the Wright situation or the "Bittergate" story....there were ZERO Clinton supporters saying anything wrong about the media. No, they enjoyed pilling on saying how unfit Obama would be for the President.

Then Clinton made up some story about Bosnia fire, or got roasted for her comments about RFK, then it became "Oh...why is the media picking on her???"

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS PEOPLE.

Jason   June 9th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

Here it is again...proof that the media is in the tank for Obama and will do anything to take down the other candidates. I'm just waiting to hear what Roland Martin has to say about this since he seems to be all knowing. Way to go CNN!

I can't wait to laugh in the faces of the Obama supporters when he loses so badly!

jimmy velman   June 9th, 2008 4:24 pm ET

MCCAIN IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. MCCAIN HAS MORE INTEGRITY
AND CREDIBILITY. THE MEDIA INDEED HAD BEEN BIASED AND IT SHOWED , SO MUCH SO THAT OTHER NETWORKS CRITCIZED
NBC AND ITS REPORTERS WHO ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE TAKING ORDERS FROM THE TOP. CNN AND FOX NEWS HAD MANY MORE VIEWERS THAN NBC AND ITS AFFILIATES.

Flip... flop....duck....dodge... silly man. He finds himself in a tricky position. He has to pander to the unhappy HIllary supporters AND he has to pander to his base. With these groups being such polar opposites, no wonder he's having a hard time keeping his pandering comments straight.

Wow all these Obama supporters can't face the fact that McCain has MUCH MORE experience than Obama! McCain has been a Senator for 22 years and Obama has been a Senator for 4 years. McCain has 18 more years exp. than Obama. Also McCain was in the house for 4 Years, Obama ran for house of representatives but LOST!! so Basically McCain has 22 MORE YEARS of POLITICAL EXP. THAN OBAMA!

To Still for Hill: So let me get this straight. You supported HRC, but now have switched to the guy who's anti-choice, anti-health, supports the war–need I go on? And you are NOT supporting the candidate who was identical to HRC on 99% of policies. You're voting for the one who disagrees with her 99% of the time. And how is your choice rational?

No McCain!   June 9th, 2008 4:22 pm ET

This doesn't surprise me.

He doesn't know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites (at least he acts like he doesn't know). I'm 18 and I know the differences!

You are what you say.

I think McCain just had a senior moment...wish I could have one too...so I can forget how horrible he looked in front of the Green Monster during his New Orleans speech. That was godawful...I think the RNC and all 300 of his supporters that night had visions of Bob Dole...LOL

donna   June 9th, 2008 4:20 pm ET

Kylee - IL   June 9th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

I really wonder why you all are tearing eachother apart with this. Sure, I support the best candidate for the job; Obama. Regardless of his experience, he has a wonderful outline of how this country should be. The reason for everyone being so interested in this election is because the country is in shreds. But does it all really matter? The electoral college chooses the candidate. So go ahead, rip eachothers throats, scream, cry, bicker, blog blog blog. In the end, Johnny Government chooses the president. So stop spamming these blogs with useless comments that do not matter.

Capt. Smash, Salt Lake City, Utah   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

We have a president that sent 4100 troops to there death with faulty and fabricated intelligence. This should be the number one story on MSNBC and every other channel across America. It is sad to see that the journalism in this country has lost the meaning of responsibility to the American people. 4100 troops are dead in from the Iraq War; and know one cares mainly because the media has made it that way. Bush sent them and McCain voted to back Bush this is the real story.

Now McCain is crying over the media, come on McWar you are a big boy if you can't handle this; can you handle anything. Your answer to every thing is to bomb. Now are you going to bomb MSNBC, CNN, and CBS?

Jim from IL   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

I think the Hillary supporters will understand if he misspoke. It seems to be going around.

John Smith   June 9th, 2008 4:09 pm ET

If I were Obama, I will tell these "uneducated" and "bitter" Hillary supporters where to go and hide until this election is over. If they think they are doing Obama a favor, that says a lot about the "mind-set" of these folks!

This is NOT about Obama or even the DEM party; it is about the direction that this NATION needs to take! I do not care, as long the individual has the "guts" to bring about "change" in Washington, I will give my vote to that person– Green, Yellow, Black, young or old! This is simple common sense.

Hillary had all the resources, and she blew them all! She ran a horrible campaign, and there is no doubt that she would have ran the U.S. in a horrible manner if she had been the nominee!

No one has made a case yet that Hillary would have done better than she did here! She planned for this process for years, and has only herself to blame. I did support her, but could not hang on to this level of "failure." There is nothing here to be proud about; she disappointed me!
