I don't know why McCain continue to surrender himself with tainted politicians

-Karl Rove -DIRTY and "Bushy"
-Swift Boat vets- Very dirty and "Bushy"
-Bush Campaign manager – dirty and "Bushy"
-Six Lobbyists advisors – dirty and "Bushy"

Why does McCain deny running for Bush’s 3rd term?

The guy didn't help Rudy's Campaign, and he won't be able to help McCain's either! McCain is surrounded by losers. McCain is the King of Losers!!!

McCain the guy who betrayed America and confessed to being a War Criminal, which resulted in VIetnam torturing U.S. Soldiers till they would confess like McCain.

McCain the guy who had an affair with a woman 18 years younger than him, while his wife was disabled at home from a car wreck. McCain the guy who divorced his wife, and within 30 days married his mistress Cindy!!!

McCain the guy who was investigated for Political Corruption as part of the Keating 5.

McCain the guy who had an affair with a female Lobbyist, while his 2nd wife Cindy was at home drugged up on medication that she stole from a Healthcare Organization.

McCain is a Dirtbag!!!!!
McSame Ole Bush Lies and Politics!!!!!
McSame Ole Clinton Sexual Affairs!!!!

Well he did such a good job with Rudy. I mean what a track record. I can just see what DuHaime is whispering in Rudy's ear in this caption.

" Rudy, now remember, Deny, Deny,Deny.. got it?"

MCcain start to souffle his campaign staff. Remember that was what happen to HIllary. How many times has MCcain done so since the primary started. If he cannot put competent people to help him win, instead he keeps making changes in his staff, that is a warning sign of trouble. How can he chose competent people if is becomes president? His he going to change all his cabinet people in their position to make things work, Boy we are in for a big rid if he wins.

Please try to keep up Mr. McCain. Shuffling staff, organizing and reorganizing, and building a campaign that consists of little more than criticism of your opponent is not going to get you in the White House.

It won't help. And taking Guilliani's failed campaign director is a sure fire way to ensure a loss. McCain can figure on an early mid-winter vacation.

That's interesting , and encouraging for Democrats. From the top tier of Republican candidates for President, Giuliani ran one of the worst campaigns.

This is just another indication that McCain doesn't have a clue about running a presidential campaign or how to take suggestions from people who do. Typical.

Yeah, because he did such a bang up job for Rudy.
But, maybe it's because they have a theme in common. Blah, Blah, Blah, 9/11, Blah, Blah, Blah P.O.W.

John MCcain saying Obama words cannot be trusted? He is the one that cannot be trusted because he also flip flop on so many issue than Obama did. And CNN why can't you write about Mccain flip flop? You now concentrate more on Obama's word than MCcain. when survey was done by Bill, the survey showed that MCcain flip flop more than Obama, Why not bring that to your round table. He has not better experience than Obama when it comes to running the country. Yes, he was a military man and has being in the senate for many years what has he do for the country and for his home town. CNN since you claim you are the trusted name in news please do not be bias. I HOPE YOU POST MY COMMENT BECAUSE YOU NEVER DO. Please let him talk about what to do about the country than attack. We need someone to help put the country on track not someone that is not. He worn the nomination a long time and he still did not have an agenda for the economy when will he have one? Why has CNN not reported about that?

It's a bit sad that the only thing McCain related that is news worthy these days is him getting or firing an adviser.

Looking at the picture of this DuHaime character, he'll fit right in at the McCain camp..... he looks rather shady.

We're losing 500 men per year (40 per month) in Afghanistan alone, not to mention Iraq.

And the neglect of the Afghanistan war means there is no plan being executed to guarantee the outcome.

The professional experience of managing Rudy Giuliani's campaign to achieve its unique record (spending nearly $40 Million to get practically nothing!) is exactly the skillset John McCain needs right now to help his campaign gain traction. This decision is consistent with his other decisions though – like his support of all morally bankrupt and proven failures that Bush policies are.

McCain is turning this charade into a circus. This same Campaign Manager helped Rudi secured less than 50 votes in Florida with over $49million. If his Rudi Florida strategy was devastatingly flawed, what magic will he perform with McCain if not cripple him more. Food for thot!!!

Makes sense, since Giuliani's campaign was such a success.

It doesn't really matter, though, since based on the way McCain's been running his campaign so far, this guy will be replaced, and then his replacement will be replaced.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q: Obama said he would aggressively pursue a campaign finance agreement with his opponent. Did he do so? Why did those efforts fail?

A: Counsel from the two campaigns did meet, but it was immediately clear that an agreement wouldn’t be workable. The idea of an agreement on public financing was to limit the influence of special interests and big donors on the campaign—but after the
McCain campaign decided to manipulate the system, and given that they had already been spending private money on their general election campaign for months, it was readily apparent that an agreement would only serve to give McCain, the RNC, and Republican 527s a leg up.

McCain and the RNC had no intentions of having a honest campaign. Before this years elections ends McCain will have flandered millions of dollars from the public finance system....money that should be use to help rebuild the states that were damaged by the Mississippi River, finish the clean up of New Orleans, more medicine for the sick and poor. McCain is for himself and he's a puppet for the Bushes'.

America we need a president that does care about the people in our great country....Obama is by far the only candidate that truly cares.

Vote Obama
