I hope Barack puts him in his cabinet! McCain's rides a CTE! Crooked Talk Express! He wants to do town hall meetings with Barack, travel out of the country with Barack and tell him who to hire and fire. The maverick needs to manage his own losing campaign.

Still, one has to marvel at how well the man is doing in polls against an opponent who represents change and domestic focus in a year where the encumbent brand is in the toilet, people are more responsive to domestic issues, the economy is in recession and our collective fear of terror is down. The fact that he's even polling close has to hearten many neoconservatives, even while true conservatives are taking a hard look at Ron Paul and Bob Barr, who are actually representing the conservative movement. Conservatives will likely fall in line as they trend towards obedience more than maverick liberal types (who tend to be as difficult to herd as cats). That there is hope for this campaign is a miracle. Ironically his opponent is the one campagning on hope! What a strange nation we live in. We are a conservative nation, yet there is not one conservative candidate in the top two parties. This is a much needed shake up for the McCain camp.

Even former VP Dan Quayle can't spell POTATO, but he can sure read the writing on the wall, he fell just short of telling McCain to forget the presidency in 2008. But since Bush and McCain don’t know changing tactics doesn’t constitute change of strategy they’ll keep at it with their exercises in futility because they fail to grasp that there is a social/civic change that have come to bare with the Obama movement.

So someone McCain finds it necessary that Obama cut loose Gen Clark? McCain is milking Clark's statement because McCain's camp has nothing better to talk about. They can't talk about the economy; they would lose. They can't talk about the Iraq war; they would lose; they can't talk about the energy crisis; they would lose; so why not while away the time arguing with a general on what whether being shut down constitute executive experience? So much for the straight talk express. If McCain thinks he can win this election by trying to distract the American people from the real issues such as the economy, the energy crisis and the war, and by threatening the people with talks of terrorist attacks that will happen next year -- he's has really lost his bearings.

We can't take care of our own disasters here at home because the "surge" has been sent to Iraq along with the needed equipment we need here at home. The economy is in shambles but the wealthy are wealthier than they ever have been. And you want to vote for someone who will continue down the same road? Please explain.

So I insist on fixing you up because I can. I'm pretty sure I'm the last person in the world you want helping you right? Right. So Iraq is the same way. We must leave and help them rebuild from a distance if we are ever to find peace there. It is as if the doctor is fixing the guy he just beat up, and every time the guy gets a little better he throws another punch at the doctor. But John doesn't get it, so no matter how many times he shakes up the people below him, he won't stand a chance in this election.
