Dammit, we NEED McCain. The last Democratic President we had, all he brought was prosperity and peace. Who wants THAT??

Seriously. If you like Bush, you'll like McCain.

The Senator may now flip/flop at a considerable percentage of the speed of sound. Clearly, this plane wasn't for quicker travel on the stump but a measure to catch up with old flips as soon as a new flop comes to mind.

See McCain has an idea a minute!!!
It's too bad they usually fail to take things like logic, common knowledge, or physics into account.

If you think you're being clever and are making an argument by callling McCain McSame, McBush, McWar, Mc(insert insulting word here) how about you consider the following:
Obaflip-flop! Obalies! Obahate! Obasurrender! Obatax! Obaspend!

See? It's not an argument. Name-calling is just childish and disrespectful. You aren't helping your own candidate (Obama) gain more votes by your insert-Mc-in-front-of-words and your thinking that it makes any sense.

Believe me downstate won't be voting for him, I'm not much of a fan of McCains either but I would vote for him before I would vote for Obama, I don't want to live in a socialist state!

Nader is not Presidential material. Real Republicans will vote BARR this November, not someone who thinks 100 years of war is great. If McCain wins, he will raise taxes on the poor, and lower taxes for the rich. McCain = Big Oil, Barr is for the people.

Yes, Barack Obama would have proven himself to be an true reformer with principles to keep his word on public finance reform. I mean, who could expect him to display such courage? What do you want him to do – forego freedom from hellish imprisonment and torture out of regard for his fellow captives like John McCain did? That would not be very politically expedient, now would it?

I am a democrat and I see how CNN is always making comments against whoever Obama is running against. what is up with CNN commentaries. It makes me wonder now who is behind Obama's campaign? As a democrat I feel very uncomfortable not seeing any criticism of my own party's candidate in CNN and only seeing it against McCain. Also I don't see how naming his plane makes the news but not his messages. CNN please go back to the way you used to cover the news. Your news coverage is becoming irrelevant.

As an international observer I'm confused at the analysis of the media and some commenters. Obama said he would vigorously pursue public financing, then went back on his word. Isn't that worse that changing your views or beliefs on a particular policy or decision, i.e. breaking a public promise or pledge vs. changing a view or belief?

To Dave,

You are very right about the so called flip flop that people say Obama took on the public financing. Yet even Republicans knew it was a trap that they thought they could catch Obama with. They knew Obama would be at a disadvantage with public finance. To me Obama would have been naive and a fool to go for public finance. Like you said, if people want to call it flip flopping , then more power to them. ; however like you said, if its a flop for the better, then everybody should understand that. The GOP has tons of money to reign down on Mccain, however the DNC is at a disadvantage.

Obama must spend a lot of money paying ignorant people to spam every article that mentions the word McCain. I suppose they are all a bunch of hopelessly lazy individuals who expect Obama to make their lives better. They compain about wars and soldier dying, but they would never serve. They complain about high income tax- but they didn't even pay any this year. They complain about life, but are unwilling to do anything to make it better. When they get tired of complaining about their boring lives and get ready to look for answers, they will leave the Obama camp and join Mccain .

Well well, cant pay taxes on condo, but can buy a multi million dollar plane??..This is another reason why i wont trust Mccain with the econony which is my primary concern with the war a close 2nd. Mccain's stance on the war does not impress me either, being that he has a pro-war mentality. Who in hell wants to worry about bringing children into this world and worrying about Mccain taking them away, and then opposing a GI Bill that would take care of them ?

Thats a clear vote against Mccain....today, tomorrow and in NOvember!

You Obama idiots! That fool uses a plane too,infact every time the media interviews mister HUSSAIN its almost always on board his aircraft. So, please shut your mouths you dumb, young ,idiot, liberal, pot smoking, crack heads!! What will Barck Hussain Obama, do for this nation? You can see he is a loser like any other politican. Just look at how he attacked McCains plan to lift the ban on offshore oil drilling, Barack Hussian, said it would take years to see an effect! Well yea you retard! McCain is looking down the road 10-15 years from now when it would have a huge effect on gas prices. Its sad that people are so stupid. But what more could you expect from young hippie liberals??

My guess is that the plane is being leased but I am curious who actually owns it. I also expect all its costs are paid for entirely by the campaign. But all that information should also be disclosed.

Why McSame cannot be trusted ??? : Jack McLamb served nine years in secret operations in Cambodia and other nations before going on to become one of the most highly decorated police officer's in Phoenix history, winning police officer of the year twice before taking a role as a hostage negotiator for the FBI. "I know a lot of Vietnam veterans and a few POW's and all the POW's that I've talked to over the years say that John McCain is a lying skunk," McLamb told the Alex Jones Show.

CNN, your guys rock. This is for all the people who think you should stop these tickers, If the comments were going in your candidate favor, who you be pouting like a kid? I think not. The anger comment s for some of these Sen Mccain supports makes you wonder what's the real issue behind their hate for Sen Obama. I'm an Obama support, but I don't hate Mccain. Hate is a strong word. President Bush had no experience at all and you voted for him. I think this goes deeper than what they are saying, everybody has a right to choose, but lets be men and women enough to say why and stop using, "un-experience enough "as a scapegoat.

McCain should propose Prozac for all Obama supporters. What a rabid bunch of morons. Attacking another man's age with comments about diapers is shameful. Continuing to spew out boring puns such as McSame and McBush shows an utter lack of respect. The same misogynists who trashed Hillary for being a woman are circling once again for another political wilding. I hope Obama goes down miserably in a heap of shame and disgrace and the rest of you idiots who are making a mockery of our political process follow close behind.

You people truly disgust me. As in you commenters. First, you attempt to play the high and mighty card and voice your opinions for the change Sen. Obama wants to bring to D.C. Then you begin to leave derogatory comments about Sen. McCain, like the one left by Another Old White Woman for Obama "With any luck he will be piloting. We all know how good he is at that! hahaha." This is a man who spent 5 years of his life in the Hanoi Hilton being tortured after having to eject over hostile territory and you platantly use language like that in the hopes of what? That his campaign plane will crash? You sicken me. If this is the kind of change you want to bring to Washington count me out.
