You want to talk about an empty suit. McCain has offered no solutions for over a week now, he has just been a jealous attack dog. He has been boring and has had no real substance at all. He has complained he isn't getting fair media coverage but who wants to cover a grumpy old attack dog? Obama is a great patriot and scholar while McCain is a grumpy war monger. This has been proven this last week. These McCain attack dogs who spout nothing but nonsense are the same people spreading those horrible Muslim lies about Obama. They know their only chance is to make up lies and hope enough idiots believe them. All of this while McCain just attacks, attacks, and attacks more. You want to talk about an empty suit.

Europe doesnt elect our president, America does! McCain is making gains in the polls because Americans are bright enough to understand whats going on. Mr. "Hollywood liberal pleaser" needs to get off his high horse and deal with the common man. The rich in Hollywood arnt going to save us. McCain was correct then, and he is correct now! Go Vets for Freedom! Obama couldnt have even stepped foot in Iraq if it wasnt for McCain's surge, its too bad he is so lame to admit it. Europe doesnt elect our president, America does!

Every time some one meets with McCain there has to be this guessing game and hypothetical analysis of what someone will or will not bring. McCain is stringing all of you alone. I can see him sitting with his team, laughing as they figure out who will next make an "unscheduled" visit as he campaigns in there district, state, or panders to their base. Here it goes: McCain's team: Gee who can we get to visit next that will drive this news cycle of empty speculation so we can get some free press to counter Obama" Suckers all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 years sober Why won't the press just give it up.

You make him president and your situation at home and standing in the world will be 100 times worse. America,it seems would much prefer to at their own peril,vote for this man with all of his faults and terrible policies instead of a good decent well educated black/white bi-racial man,it's kinda funny you guys only see his skin colour,what about his heart?.Why CNN is unwilling to point out each and every one of McCain's gaffes is quite bewildering to me,you have Obama under the microscope 24/7 and McCain goes merrily along looking lost and clueless in grocery store isles.

Obama did make America shine this week. That is why this life long republican mom of 3 will be voting for him this fall. He has earned my vote, with his ideas ands fresh ways of tackling issues besides running the best campaign in history. Kevin, could not agree with you more.

Does that mean Armstrong is on the short list? Seems like whoever one of the candidates meets with is automatically on the short list. Actually, Portman makes sense. He has the economic creds to shore up McCain's shortcomings there, he has congressional experience and he could swing a major battleground state. Plus, he's neither too young nor too old. Given that he was an administration official, he probably plays well with the party insiders, too. Gee, he's appearing with Lance Armstrong. Does that mean Armstrong is on the short list?
