Goldie, you wanna place a bet?

I agree. I can't stand Huckabee. He got less votes than Romney and McCain.

all you TRUE american republicans need to go with the dems this election, cuz your true republican party will become extinct if we have another neocon in office.

NO MORE NEOCONS!!!!

conservatives are not neccessarily stupid, but stupid people vote for these NEOCONS!!! a vote for a neocon is AGAINST your own best interests, not to mention your family, this country, the world!!!

The Repubs have nothing to run on. All the represent is war and hate.

John McCain '08!

Mike Huckabee may be joining fox news as a commentator but if John McCain picks him as a VP I would never vote for McCain and McCain would be sure to lose. Obama all the way.

PS I didn't know Longfellow was a Democrat. Those elitist poets !!

where have all the good republicans gone? are they extinct?

I guess they are all busy re-incarnating themselves as "libertarians"

It's hard to be enthusiastic about a party and administration that has taken us to an unecessary war, caused an economic recession that is worsening daily, takes care of the rich and forgets the poor, and watches while gas has gone to $4.69/gallon here in my city.
TIME FOR CHANGE!

At one time I thought it would be good to be republican.
- Fiscally responsible
- Core Family Values
- Patriotism
But I have seen those characteristics since the current administration took office

Obama has a 50% no vote record in his less than 1 term as senator. McCain is McNuts. And Both are pro-war, pro-illegal immigraton, and pro-taxes.
Ron Paul dropped out.

Looks like I will be writing in Willie Nelson again.

Hillary needs to begin publicly discussing Mc Cain's dismal record on women's issues.

While this may be good news for us Democrats, we must never take it for granted. I truly believe that's how we lost the 2004 election.

Remember we are now in the marathon that is the general election. If we can keep our enthusiasm slowly building and keeping speaking the message every chance we get we can do this.

Unity '08

I'm just going to take the ignorant route on this one and bluntly state:

The republicans SUCK.

Voting for any republican just because he's republican is NOT "patriotic" as THEY would say.

Country 1st - Party 2nd

He is the WRONG choice.

To ALL Democrats - moderate or liberal, educated or uneducated, men or women, straight or gay, black, brown, or white, urban or rural, Clinton supporters or Obama supporters, and those in between:

Please recognize the importance of putting Obama in the White House and keeping McCain out of it. This is hugely important on so many levels. Please vote with this in mind.

Ex-republican here….fired up to vote democrat this election!

Obama 08

why should REPUBLICANS be excited about this election?!?! their party has been hijacked by greedy, selfish, LYING neocons!!

bush, mccain, etc. are NOT republicans!! they are neocons!!

a TRUE REPUBLICAN would not be happy now because they dont have a republican to vote for!!!

Check out the Campaign for Liberty website. Let's get excited about following the Constitution again.

Then, we can get excited about voting for a candidate who believes in the Constitution, not Mr. McCain and the impeachables.

Enter Mr. Barr.

37% of Republicans are enthusiastic about voting…Kind of says it all doesn't it? You should have helped out Ron Paul or Romney, but you blew it, and now you're stuck with McCain.

Of course they are!1 Hello look at the economy right now thanks to a republican GEORGE BUSH!!!

The pro-obama media bias is at it again but I am confident it will not work as well with against a republican candidate.

obama 08!!!!!!!!

Check out the Campaign for Liberty website. Let's get excited about following the Constitution again.

Then, we can get excited about voting for a canidadte who believes in the Constituion, not Mr. McCain and the impeachables.

This story will be the biggest bs come october/november when obama is revealed to be the fluffy that he is. Bambi will lose a portion of Hillary Democrats and we will more then make up for a few republicans that may sit it out.

Here it is again - another negative about McCain's candidacy - don't buy into this media bias - the did it to Clinton and now they want to do it to McCain.

I'm an independent and will 'enthusiastically' support and vote for Obama.

The article is so right. I work with Repubs and some aren't even voting this year. I guess it doesn't feel so good to be the part of the party where a war criminal is the head of.

And to Goldie, I know it hurts but vote for Obama. You and your family will feel much better in the end.

NO McWARMONGER IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
VOTE McWAR FOR RETAIRMENT.

Ex-Very-Liberal-Progressive for McCain…

If are "for McCain" you obviously don't know what "liberal" or "progressive" even means. Just another GOPer in disguise, I suppose.

The Ron Paul Republicans are still on fire!! He's someone we can all believe in.

That's because, we're now have 95 years to go till we leave Iraq per Senator McCain’s 100 year prediction.

Testing Testing Testing

According to AOL's poll McCain is Leading 56% to Obama's 44%.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

George Bush should be sent to Iraq as early as end of January 2009.

Being republican is no longer pc.

The republican party is out touch with the economy, gas, and the war in Iraq. The only thing that could be better than the destruction of the GOP in November is their destruction in June. I just can't wait that long, neither can the country.

Many conservatives are not happy with McCain as their candidate. A good number of them are supporting Bob Barr as the conservative alternative, or they have left the Republican Party altogether (as I did) for the misguided direction Bush/McCain are taking the party. It is certainly not conservative (IMHO).

What is Sen mcain problem, He dont know how to speak to people
he has this way of talking down to people as if you are suppose to do
what ever he tell you (not as but tell) you do do. I dont like his tone.
He really need to work on the tone he use when he speak to people.

Nobody want you McSame. Not even your own people, they don't want anything to do with you. You left your sick wife for that made up skeletoid. You are one sick puppy. People go to Utube and type in him name and see for yourselves. Obama loves his wife and we all can see it.

McSame do us a favor and go for a five mile run.

Times change. Neither conservatism nor Republicanism is the solution to all problems. The movement started by Goldwater and Reagan has steered itself into a ditch and run out of gas. Hey, it happens to everything. Democrats also ran out of gas, and were obsolete for a couple of decades. Everything is cyclical.

I don't like to hear the republicans he said she said staff. I'm fired up listening to the change. The change that librates us from poverty and misguiding. What else the republican has to offer anyway. Let them they what Obama's wife talked and what his paster said. This is dum it is nothing to do with Americans daily lives. Right now Gasoline and Rice is my priority.

"Fifty-three percent of registered voters questioned in the poll say they think that Obama, D-Illinois, will win the election, with 43 percent saying that McCain, R-Arizona, will win the White House."

Well, well. If your own party thinks that his candidate cannot win, "Houston, we have a problem." LOL!! And let me remind you, these are Republicans saying this…….

Don't confuse lack of enthusiasm for apathy…I will vote for a weak Conswrvative with our country's best interests at heart any day over a Liberal who wants to sit down and talk with the leaders of countries who believe Israel, or any other country, should be wiped off the face of the Earth.

Add my wife and I to the list of Democrats that will be voting Republican in November.

Tom
Ohio

They are putting every thing on McCain, every one is on their own to get elected, so far no one have been either elected or reelected from the republican party…

What good will McCain do with a Democratic congress ??? he wont be able to veto every thing coming up to his desk.

And what about all the senators not willing to back you McCain ??

Republicans took control of Congress from 1994 to 2006, and the White House since 2000. Their argument that "as bad as we are, Obama and Democrats will be worse" sounds ridiculous to me. We need leadership, not cronyism or abidicating responsibility and calling it "deregulation".

With McCain as their nominee there really isn't much for the repubs to be enthused about. And after the blunder they made in the last two elections of 2000 and '04, they obviously realize they would be making the same mistake.
Yes, I almost feel sorry for them.

What's there to be enthusiastic about? Unnecessary war in iraq, unaffordable health care, skyrocketing gas prices, a home foreclosure mess, an economic downturn with job loss after job loss etc etc, and a republican presidential candidate who plans to continue down the same road as the failed republican president currently occuping the white house. Their lack of enthusiasm is quite understandable. They know John McCain is swimming against the tide, and given his positions on the issues of the day that matters most to Americans, they know that he is about to be drown and declared dead and pulled under the tide of change most Americans want.

I'm a Republican, always have been, always will be. We'll win in November.

This election isn't even going to be close , there is millions of Republicans that are so done with Bush/McCain policies. I was watching McCain for a few minutes at a town hall event yesterday , and the crowd was falling asleep ( all 30 of them ).

Well how could republicans be excited about the election when their nominee is John McCain? He could not excite a heard of hyenas let alone a party or this country. When he opens his mouth he puts republicans and democrats alike to sleep. Maybe he should let red bull sponsor his campaign and put some pep in his step cause right now he is as dry left over Thanksgiving turkey.

OBAMA 08!!!

YES! The Dems WILL have the last say. They will take back the Senate from the GOPers good fashion this year.

Now that the phenomenal Obama movement is gone and the Video-makers moved on..the people are looking and who do they see?

McCain the real person for President….Hail the CHIEF !!!

McCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCain—November 4 /08 by a landslide,,,,

It's just a matter of time–DOWN WITH CANEY CANE!

Republicans and their agendas are no longer relevant to the needs of our time now. To allow them to continue down the path of the destruction of our country would be foolish. They must be stopped at all costs — which is the reason I, and everyone I know, is voting Democrat this year and always.
I used to be a Republican, too –

Goldie:

I heard gas is the highest in the nation in CALIFORNIA. I guess you're filling your tank from gas from another planet.

C'mon Gal, its ok to join the winning team.

Go Obama!

I'm with you, Goldie. Remember: It just takes people time to discriminate between fool's gold and the real thing. You have to scratch the surface.

Americans for McCain '08

Gee, after how delightful everything in Iraq is going…

… how strong our economy is …

… how oil prices are…

… wait a minute? Who am I kidding? The Republicans wiped their feet on this country for the past eight years. Who in their right mind would vote for these people again?

I can tell you why - they see what the rest of us see. I have tried on numerous occasions to listen to Senator McCain but find my self getting sleepy. Anybody who has insomnia - just put in a tape of him and I guarantee you will be out like a light.

YEP!

If you are a Republican and haven't had the sense to switch sides, I wouldn't show my face either!

8 years of Bush has demoralized the majority of the country.

(Correction)

No more Republican - Enough damages have been done to America, The Beautiful Land… We are broke, live in fear, our brothers and sisters are dying in foreign land.

Let's spend our money internally, use most of them in Education, Healthcare, housing, end homelessness and increase the moral of our youth.

Democrats all the way!!!

GOLDIE - YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT AND 18 MILLION OTHER HILLARY SUPPORTERS RIGHT BEHIND YOU. Not a one of us want an un-patriotic, un-religious, liar, corrupt person such as OBAMA.

Correction: whoever said that we need to bomb Muslim countries to stay safe is brainwashed.

I'm a FORMER REPUB VOTING DEMOCRATIC THIS YEAR…..2 VS. 2

Who said that

1. All Muslims are bad
2. In order to stay safe we need bomb every Muslim country.

Whoever said that needs to be brainwashed sensless.

Keep telling yourself that Goldie. Can I ask a question? How confident did you feel in 2006?

being Republican is toxic this days

i cant wait to see this landslide!for the first time, in decades, we may have a working government,with legislators that are in tune with our executive branch,and soon,a federal judiciary,that will protect our constitution.we have so much to do,and this is the fastest way to do it.as an independent ,i will be voting ,up and down the ballot ,for democrats ,this year,and hope we have a working majority, in government,that will put an end to the two-party grid-lock.

What I worry about is the complacence that might set in with the Democrats. If there's one difference you'll see between left and right is that if you ask a Dem why she feels a particular way, she will say, "Because it feels right". A Conservative on the other hand might answer, "Because my faith tells me so" - that alone makes Republicans a more "constant" force

It might be worthwhile for the Dems to remember Longfellow:-

The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they while their companions slept
Were toiling upward in the night.

No more republican - Enough damages have been done to America, The Beautiful Land… We are broke, leave in fear, our brothers and sisters are dying in foreign land.

Let's our money internally, use all the monies in Education, Healthcare, more housing, end homelessness and increase the moral of our youth.

Democrats all the way!!!

McCain needs to to get a clue about the following - end the Iraq war (George's War), secure our borders, deal with the energy crisis, pay down our debts and balance the budget.

After all the mess of this horrific decade, can you blame them?

And as if that wasn't enough to deal with, now they have a wannabe Conservative presidential candidate as their only Republican option in the fall.

I'd be pretty demoralized too!

You'll win Orange County and that's about it.

As if this is shocking. Look for a study decrease as the months progress. I can't wait to see the results after the 2 candidates have a good old fashioned debate. Obama is going to dominate McCain in a 1 on 1 debate. This should be entertaining.

You can thank the Sean Hannity NeoCons for that. The bigots, I mean "conservatives who love America" have destroyed the party by splitting the country.

It's fine to disagree with Obama's direction for the country but to target his wife for smear tactics truly shows how far the GOP has dropped.

McSame is just Republican filler for this year. No chance of winning at all.

When will McFlipflop realize…he was the "sacrifical lamb"…who in their right might would run after Bush's idiotic policiies.

The dummy took the bait and here he is…..you don't see other Republicans with a bit of sanity backing him.

Republicans are laughing saying " oh well you put your head in your hands oh fella, you'll be history and we'lll forget about you.

Do you notice how other Republics are deep in the wordwork and not backing McSame?

They don't want to be see with \McBush to save their own political hides.

How could you be ethusiastic about the way Republicans have been running the country lately?

No Bush again, No fear again
anywhere in the world when military man take power there are more fear and less freedom for people and war is more probable.

No McWar

AND THIS DEMOCRAT IS FIRED UP TO VOTE FOR MCCAIN.

Democrats, Independents, and Republicans are jumping aboard the Obama train - which will be pulling out of the station and heading to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. January 2009.

Obama/Sebelius '08

Fired up….Ready to go………………Obama'08

another shocking news break…tell us something we don't already know.

Well, this ex-Republican is fired up — to vote Democratic.

I am a democrat that will be voting republican for the first time this year!

Republicans! No One Will Blame You If You Dont Want To Go Down With The Ship! Come On Over To The Democrat Side! Our Morale Is High! Its Exciting Over Here! Oh Yeah. . . We Have Punch And Pie Also! There Is A Pinata That Looks Like Mccain! Its Loads Of Fun!

I work hard everyday, pay my taxes, support my family and honor my country.

I think Senator Obama is no as liberal as he is made out to be. I think he'll truly change the country away from the mean spirited, empty arguments we've had vor 16 years.

Like me, other republicans are voting for Obama, not McCain.

Wow. There's a shocker. Hopefully their enthusiastic and energetic nominee can snap them out of it without snapping his hip.

I sow Obama on CNN this morning after McCain.
O my God!
When he has to talk substance he reads! His arrogance disappears!
THis gay could not say 5 sensible sentences without reading.
Obviously , he has no clue.
Such a ARTIST and MANIPULATOR!

Doesn't he realise that we do not want more EXPERIMENTORS!!!!
THIS COUNTRY CAN NOT TAKE MORE!!!

McCain: up to the point , with dignity and honesty!!

Well, this ex-Democrat if fired up to vote Republican.

Obama '08 and again '12…

Don't worry the rep. will come out in force to eliminate the Bozo for "Change"

All those Obama lovers and idiotic cable news networks must be having hard time to find clues to insult Clinton's. Even without Clinton, Obama and his team are getting exposed to scrutiny.

I feel bad for Democrats. This party does not believe in Democracy anymore. They got their chosen surrogate and don't know how to use it.

Gee, you think? With such a charismatic, go-getter of a nominee, it's hard to believe he's got ANY supporters. Obama is going to win this election with record breaking numbers. Hopefully the GOP brand has been tarnished so bad by 'lil bush, we won't see any more of their brilliant candidates win executive offices in this country for decades to come!
Go Obama!!!

I think McCain needs to stop all these political ploys and get down to business. He is a much better man than he is a candidate at this point.

This bit of news comes as no real surprise when you consider what a poor candidate the Republicans have to vote for. McMaverick doesn't really have great appeal to anyone since he is a major league flip-flopper and he really stands for nothing … he is simply an ego-driven candidate of the past century … he is not what most voters are looking for to represent theirs and their children's future!

I don't blame them! With McSame… the guy puts me to sleep!

On a good day McSame might be able to get 2,000 in a crowd!

Go Obama! We are fired up and ready to go!

No. They dont have to worry as long as Fox News is there. They dont trust American people but the Fox News and Rush Limbaugh company. and some times CNN can join that too.

That's because Republicans are sick of Bush. He made the other Republicans look bad.

For instance, you could compare Hillary to Bill Clinton, and that's OK.
Obama would love for you to compare him to JFK.

Try comparing McCain to Bush, and see what happens!

Those poor Republicans. I almost feel sorry for them. Almost!

im one of the very enthusiastic voters…..im a democrat who is voting for john mccain!

He's not a real conservative. Truth be told, it's hard for us to get excited about him. I've not conviced he's really with the base.

What McCain needs to do is pick a strong VP candidate like Mike Huckabee.

Sometimes, when you stop and think how the past 8 + years has treated the American People, (maybe not those RICH ones) but the disenfranchised ones. No wonder!

Seeing that kid holding that McCain sign is very disturbing and worrisome to me. Give that kid an Obama sign. GO OBAMA!! VOTE OBAMA!!! NO GOP president this time may give someone hernia if we have one and that would be TERRIBLE! I say vote Obama and again give that kid an Obama sign it is much more suitable.

has anyone actually been to McCains website? its a joke! he has some guy thats 3x younger than him giving an MTV Cribs style tour of his Bus (the straight talk express) then half of his site is dedicated to bashing Obama. Its pretty pathetic.

it's kinda funny though, in a sad way.

CNN post this please….

I have been a republican for 30+ years,I voted for Nixon,Reagan,and both Bushs,But this year I am supporting Obama.Something has to give.

Republicans should NEVER be trusted for running anything, ever again in the history of the United States!

After GDubya, republicans are not only a disgrace to americans, they are a colossal disaster to be trusted with anything, even being a dog catcher!

OUR ECONOMY IS IN THE TANK, WHILE WE FIGHT AN UNJUST WAR!

The photo of the tired Mccain supporters child is so funny. He probably is tired of the My Friend line.

A Republican victory in November would prove that the majority of average Americans are uninformed and borderline stupid!! Kind of blunt I know but it’s the truth

Obama has become petty and boring! He won't do joint-town halls because he is not good in an unscripted format up close and personal. He whines too much! And, it is now obvious that his change theme was just a come on.

Also, there are a lot of disillusioned Democrats who are not happy with Obama or the party.

It is a long way to November, and Obama is in trouble already with his poor judgment and lack of impromptu speaking ability!

McCain, the centrist candidate in touch with mainstream Americans, will continue to pick up steam!

Yes, the republicans are demoralized. Everyone in the country has now realized what the Bush administration has done to our national reputation, our psyche, our ability to meet and discuss other issues with our treaty partners and anyone else our government has to deal with. No one takes America seriously anymore.

And the GOP is not looking forward to the elections in November, as that election will be a sure sign of the mood of the country.

Mr. McCain needs to stop talking about war and start speaking to the issues: Social Security solutions; Immigration solutions; Economy solutions. If McCain and his advisors would come up with SEVERAL (not one, but several) possible solutions to each individual issue that may be on the horizon and get these ideas floated and into the press, he would force the democrats to do the same. Then MAYBE someone will take the ball and run with it and solve some of these issues.

It's all wonderful that Mr. Obama speaks of the need to change Washington. We'd all like to see change.

The problem is the same old politicos are STILL there, and even if the democrats sweep the election in November, there will be NO CHANGE because the same people are still running the Congress and the Democratic party and the Republican party. The two party system seems to be falling apart, since neither party wants to work with the other and because of that…nothing is getting done.

We have no one willing to stand up and suggest the hard solutions that need to be made to solve the issues of the day. Until some of our members of Congress turn into STATESMEN like used to be in office and start to talk and work with one another, our country will remain in disarray regardless of who wins in November.

You republicans fired up, ye right,, everytime I seen McCain talk, i fall asleep.

Republicans are demoralized??? Get a clue: the WHOLE WORLD is demoralized after 8 years of Bush and his henchmen.

WE DON'T SEE HOW ANY AMERICAN CAN VOTE FOR A

MAN THAT HAS SUPPORTED THE POLICIES THAT LEAD

TO OVER $4.00 GAS. MCBUSH WOULD LEAD TO $10.00

WE CAN'T SURVIVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF STUPIDITY.

yep. i used to be republican too.

obama/clinton 08!!!

I'm not worried because you will lose.

This ex- Republican is also fired up to vote for Obama! Two times voting for Bush taught me a lesson I won't soon forget.

The rightwingers are doomed. Thanks to Little George and his Mafia the GOP will be locked in the losers shed for decades. Hallelujah!

It's a shame they had to post this little baby's picture holding up this sign when that poor child don't even know Jack Daniel’s about McCain or what he stands for.

This post is really not surprising can you see why, running negative campaigning and many don't believe them any more nor do they believe in McCain not this time not ever.

John McCain is George Bush's third term we don't think so…

I am voting Democratic. Don't worry. WE WILL WIN!!!

This Republican is voting democrat. McCain was the worst pick of the crop of our potential candidates.

Fat chance McCain will win.He needs to go home and let his wifey with all her millions take care of him.

Voting for Obama

Time to put this country back to its rightful place at the top

We may not be entirely supportive of McCain but we'll be out in droves to vote against Obama

"Bottom line: After eight years of the Bush presidency, Republicans are demoralized," said CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider.

That explains a lot, but not all. I think another 4 years of McSame is on their minds too.

Aaawwww! How Sad!

Thanks GW, for putting the party in the crapper

Hells Bells… can you blame us for being less than excited about McCain?

We conservatives didn't pick McCain, crossover liberals picked him FOR US in open primary voting. I mean, if I wanted a liberal to my candidate, I would have voted for Obama.

On a positive note, I sure am happy I took the time to play by the rules my entire life, take calculated risks, put myself throught college and put myself through my masters program (with honors in both), so that I now can get brutally financially sodomized by Obama's tax hikes. Getting punished for being successful is exactly what I had in mind when I was working hard and playing by the rules all of those years. This nation is in for a big awakening, and unfortunately we'll have to endure the damage a Carter… er, uh, I mean "Obama," presidency will bring. I'm not a religious man, but heaven help us all.

I understand why. I went too gop.com and it was so negative. They dont say anything positive and dont take responsibility for the economic or forregn problems US got right now. I belive a lot of people will stay home or vote for Obama, because a old grumby negative president and a majority in sentate/congress by the GOP when we remember how they did for 6 years is not something people want back.

It's the GOP's turn to pay the piper!

I AM CERTAIN THE REPUBLICANS LIVE WITH THE REST

OF US & SHOP WHERE WE SHOP & ARE JUST AS BROKE

AS THE REST OF US. ALSO SURPRISINGLY THEY TOO NEED

MEDICAL INSURANCE, COLLEGE TUITION, & GAS.

THIS TIME DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS AND INDIPENDANTS

ARE GOING TO VOTE FOR OUR INTERESTS NOT, NOT, FOR

MCWORTHLESS LOBBYISTS, AND HIS WEALTHY FRIENDS.

down for what reason ?

Get the likes of Wright, Rezko, Farrhkhan Jim Johnson onboard,
they will help you the way they are helping Obama create buzz all around.

They should be. Their candidate is the most unelectable in history. The polls show McCain beginning to slip away, and this will not stop until Nov, when he loses by the largest margin in US history. They should get behind Obama, and just ignore all the BS they have been spoon-fed by FOX News.

Well, when you have a candidate on the left side that's getting the people chanting for change and making people genuinely excited to see what's going to happen, it's hard to get enthusiastic when your candidate is offering nothing new, whether you agree with him/her or not.

Dems are like that only…. too much enthusiastic to vote but won't venture out on voting day.

I bet most of the college students, who support Obama, would be drunk on Election day and won't come out to vote.

Republicans do vote, enthusiastic or not.

That kid is SO cute!! Maybe somebody can photoshop an Obama poster into the pic.

Bush/McCain is simply a downer on so many levels.

It's good.Even hard core republicnas can see what a disaster we are in after Bush's eight years.Smart republicans and independents will vote for Obama.After all we're all americans and we will do what is best for our country.
Go Obama!

Good! And I hope it stays that way!

YES WE CAN!

There Are Some Good Support Groups That Can Offer Help With That!

What a Surprise—Liberal CNN is trying to convince the Republicans we are less enthusiastic — Sorry–we don't faint and yell like idiots but we will be there in November–
We just let you guys think we are dead—

As a conservative Republican, I think we have Bush's term and the weakness of the nominee to thank for the low enthusiasm. It's abundantly clear to most Americans that Obama will win in November. Hopefully, McCain will fight on issues, which will be the only chance he has at motivating the Republican base.

The Republicans shouldn't feel like they have to vote for McCain just because he's *In name* a Republican. If they like Obama, vote for him. If they like Bob Barr, Ron Paul etc, vote for them or write them in. Vote for someone you really like, and is closest to your beliefs, not someone who flip-flops or constantly changes stances on issues.

Good Luck!

This is not news. All i can remember from the Bush years is a president who has talked to Americans like children and vetoed all bills that would have helped people in need. I would never forget that he vetoed a war bill because the demcrats wanted to add unemployment benefits to help people who are struggling. His 8 yrs should be called the arrogant and veto era. Mcain is a substantial candidate but unfortunately he is at the helm of a party headed by a very unpopular prez.

Did anybody see/hear McCain lately?

He is so awkward. I thought I was watching one of those bad performances on “Last Comic Standing”!!!

………as for enthuisiam, how can the Republicans be happy that McCain is telling us that the Iraq war will not end any time soon? As for back home, McCain has no knowledge of the economy.

Is it really news that no one is excited about a McCain presidency?

Sounds as though the GOP should have impeached their own President and V. President. Only the extreme right believes in Bush and Cheney now.. The platform of VALUES regressed to one of blantant lying, hypocrisy, and arrogance. Those are hardly the values of most Americans.

If your candidate was Dr. Evil and his Stepford wife, would you be enthusiastic?

The picture of the child holding the McCain sign is DISTURBING.

Parents should not be allowed to used their little children for their political views. THIS CHILD DOESN'T KNOW YET WHAT IS HE HOLDING AND WHAT IS HE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR.

Go Obama.

McCrypt is running out of steam

Well how could republicans be excited about the election when their nominee is John McCain? He could not excite a heard of hyenas let alone a party or this country. When he opens his mouth he puts republicans and democrats alike to sleep. Maybe he should let red bull sponsor his campaign and put some pep in his step cause right now he is as dry left over Thanksgiving turkey.

OBAMA 08!!!

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Republicans are running scared.

They have done nothing to inspire their voters, instead they put the most frail boring man in recent history in front of a country that is BEGGING for change. The Democratic primaries took up half of the year already with 90% of the top stories. And there is still wide attention hanging onto Obama's EVERY move right now.

John McCain is an after thought. Even with the stage all to himself for almost 3 months he did nothing to dictate the state of this race so those thinking he will do something drastic between now and November are of the same mentality in thinking that Obama needed to completely fall apart in the primaries before he lost for McCain to even stand a slight chance of winning.

It has been a pleasure watching the GOP fall apart slowly after they completely took a dump on this country over the past 7 years. I hope that party dies a slow painful death!

Obama '08!

Just say no to four more years of Republican's in the White House.

No more Bush's or Bush like people in the White House.

Vote for Change.

Obama 08

GOP'S CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST!

McCain has a conservative problem :)ing

Thanks to the Credit Card Queens,Bush and Cheney.

SHOCKER!!! Down with the GOP nonsense!!!

OBAMA '08!!!

Well their candidate is mccain, so go figure.

Why would anyone want to vote for an anti-woman jerk like McCain?

McCain dumped his first wife after she got seriously injured in a car accident and gained weight.

McCain has also vowed to make abortion illegal- he wants to make criminals out of women and their doctors!

Shame on you McCain! You'll get the country club and intolerant male votes, but not much else.

Ron Paul's new campaign will give real conservatives something to be excited about.

The revolution lives on!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICANS TOO, AND DON'T WANT

AN INSANE PERSON RUNNING THE NATION. THEY ARE

PAYING THE SAME PRICES AT THE PUMP & GROCERY STORE.

And the pendulum continues to swing…

Well, not to be mean, but how could anybody really be excited about voting for McCain??? He is about as exciting as a box of rocks. It looks like Dems are starting to come together. I'm glad to see they are quick with their responses, and wish they would have done so when Kerry was running. Oh well, better late than never….NOT THIS TIME!!! I know there will be Hillary bloggers coming on shortly to say "I WON"T VOTE FOR OBUMMER, BLAH BLAH BLAH, Lol.

i would also think that when people actually decide to pay as much attetnion to underlying items on cindy mccain and her husband that they will be very surprised–check on snopes.com
i think that her history and his own of infidelity goes a long way towards character—he cheated on his wife and this was after she no longer looked lik ethe model he married(horrible car crash) he started to cheat with cindy–the divorce also was because of his infidelites…and did we know that in 1993 cfindy mccain was caught by DEA for stealing drugs and forging perscriptions( think thats fraud in a big way for most people at least) for percoset & vicidan…funny how she got a little fine and did community service(no influence peddling ther i'm sure)…

Well they know that they do not have a chance. And that the Democrats have a superior candidate.

McCain today rejected a counter prosposal for the debates. Is it his way or the highway? Is that the kind of compromise he is looking for in the white house? Obama is willing to debate with him, but he say no. Only town halls. Sounds scared to me.

The bed you make is the bed you sleep in.
Lets Go Dems!!!!!

Let's get rolling then Democrats! Go Obama!

Hey - they've already joined the Obama Team.

McCain just speaking puts them to sleep.

For all of the talk about Obama problems gaining the support of Clinton supporters, McCain has problems in the Republican party. Cultural conservatives are not enthusiastic about McCain. Other candidates that officially dropped out of the primaries were getting a significant percentage of the vote. McCain has had months to get Religious Conservatives to support him. If he has not been able to do it after not having any Republican competition for several months, then he is not going to be able to get them to support him. McCain makes things even worse because he is boring and uninspiring. His speeches will put you to sleep. The Republicans needed a candidate to rally their base. Unfortunately, McCain is showing that he is not that candidate.

This bodes well for the dems in November becuase the one thing the polls dont take into account is that a lot of people who answer the phone, say they will vote for McCain but when they have to go down, wait in line to actually submit a ballot, a good percent won't. Enthusiastic dems will in greater numbers.

McCain November. Hands down. Don't worry. The Democrats lost the one person who could have won the elections. Another 4 years for the Republicans. Yeaaah!

I guess the Republicans are less than enthusiastic about this years election…after 8 years of Dubya and only coming up with McBush as their nominee I'd be miserable too. Make that suicidal:)

When the Republican base looks at the prospect of "President Obama", and 4 years of Reverend Wright at his side, they will rally behind Senator McCain…believe it. Not voting means putting Obama in the White House, and they will not watch the country become a disaster. They will rally before November.

GO OBAMMA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you get the feeling the Obama campaign is preparing the public for some thing that might come out during this time we are examining the person who will be the next President of the United States?

Duh….

I pray for the USA that we unite for the greater good of this country. My prayer is not just for the uniting and maturing of the Demcratic party, but for all citizens. I pray that God remove all the bickering, fighting, racism, sexism, and divisiveness. Let there be harmony, love and peace form brother to sister.

Go in peace!!!

Obama '08

Bottom line: After eight years of the Bush presidency, Republicans are demoralized," said CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider.

As well they should be. Maybe this time around they'll use different standards when casting their votes. Look where voting for the "guy they wanted to have a beer with" has gotten us all. No more C students!!!!

I guess in Nov we will see who turns out to vote. It might turn out to be 2nd Carter term.

They had the full run of the country for 8 years and ran it straight into the ground. If anything they should be dying of shame.

Could it be because their candidate cannot keep his facts straight or the fact that he consistently aligns himself with the failed poiicies of the last 7 years?

I am detecting some buyer's remorse.

Polls again. Not according to AOL's news poll. They have McCain at 56% to Obama's 44%.

So this is not a shoe-in for Senator Obama. The republicans are counting on our young people not showing up on election day.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!!!

And this is a surprise? The war rages, the economy is in shambles, and the American people are tired. The last 8 years have been a difficult time. We need new ideas, new politics and solid, intelligent leadership. That is not what the Republican party offers.

I am voting Republican. Don't worry. We'll win.

Well, this ex-Republican is fired up — to vote Democratic.
