CNN

SO MACBUSH IS GOING NEGATIVE ,THIS IS A LOW LIFE OLD DOG WHO LACKS ISSUES, HEY MACBUSH GO TO A HOME GROUP COZ YOU ALREADY A SENIOR, WE DONT NEED AN OLD BUSTARD LIKE YOU ANYWAYZ.

Nothing but a "rock star" who has repeatedly shown a willingness and an uncanny ability to flip flop and pander. A typical politician who has done nothing. An empty suit the Germans were intelligent enough to say "no" to when he wanted his campaign stop at the Brandenburg gate. Wow he goes on a little vacation and now he is an expert on international affairs? Are you kidding me?

Lifelong Moderate Dem voting Republican 08.

Hopefully a Republican who has shown he can work in a bipartisan fashion can temper a Pelosi lead Liberal House and Senate.

A Socialist inexperienced hypocrite President with a left leaning Congress= disaster.

Now we all know how to become the "biggest celebrity" in the world. Let the press & CNN promote you! It will get you in everyone face. However it won't get you ALL the votes you necessarilly want. Just wait. Pay attention VOTERS. READ between the lines. Do your homework. Try to figure out where we will go as a nation with which new leader. Remember any President we get will only be able to do what the Senate and Congress go along with. They have the majority. There are more of "them" trying to get what they want than the "PREZ." He's only in there for 1 or 2 terms. They keep getting re-elected by US ! That's really where our "problem" lies. THINK ABOUT IT! Don't go off half cocked. READ UP ON POLITICS – Listen to GLENN BECK and others.

I like foreign oil, food 4 fuel and higher taxes on electricity. I like that Obama has led Chicago out of it's slummy mess, it's such a great place to visit now with my kids. I couldn't in good conscious vote for anything less than change, I don't care what it is, as long as it's change it must be a good thing, right?!

Now that I got that off my chest, who in their right mind would vote for either Obama or McCain... 300 million people and that's who "they" want us to vote for? Sheeple, wake UP!

McCain makes gaffe after gaffe while running ads that are outright lies...looks like nothing is changing in the GOP anytime soon.

The bar has been set so low by Bush it's quite amazing McCain can't raise it!

So what the ad is saying is that McCain is upset because he isn't as pretty and popular as Obama? Shouldn't he have gotten over those issues in High School?

Obama is popular around the globe because he doesn't treat all other people like servants and other countries like garbage. If the rest of the world hadn't been treated with such disrespect and loathing by Bush for the last 8 years, maybe they would like McCain too.

the ad must worked ... there are a lot of pissed off Libs on the board today .... opps well thats the norm! btw the Mc jokes are becoming lame put a bit more thought into it, please!

Really? Brit and Paris are the "top celebrities"?

Nope, Nobama the Libtard isn't ready. Neither is McBush.

RON PAUL '08!

THERE GOES McCAIN'S civil and just campaign.

Old McCain is going to lose so big in November,
he will be a disgrace in his home state, which he
probably will not carry.

An independent goes Democrat in 08!!

Senator Obam is not full of himself. Some of the people in the media follow him night and day because they are seeking hope. The need hope. They admire Senator Obama and want to be near him. They are human and often forget that he is human also. Senator Obama is full of hope. His hope is from God, not of himself. Senator Obama's comments are sliced and diced out of context to make it look like he has said one thing when in fact he has said the exact opposite. You haters need to check youselves. Senator's McCain's negativity is not presidential. He sounds angry, frustrated, and afraid. He turns be off!

McCain has a college education, he went to the Naval Academy. So the person that said he only has a High School Education needs to get her facts straight, before saying McCain doesn't get his straight.

THERE GOES McCAIN'S civil and just campaign.

Old McCain is going to lose so big in November,
he will be a disgrace in his home state, which he
probably will not carry.

An independent goes Democrat in 08!

Good Lord McCain, the smell of desperation around you is like a heavy green cloud of envy! Even flies attracted to the smell kept landing on you during your interview last sunday with George Stephanopoulos. If you can't present any ideas of your own, please get out of the way and quit clouding up the issues. Your jealousy is sickening!
Obama/Hagel08

so sick ,have never seen this kind of low lessness,macbush lacks issues instead he is going negative with silly stuff comparing OBAMA to two fools like britney and paris,shame on you macbush!!!!

Britney and Paris come as 2nd and 3rd? Republicans have bad taste.

McCain that did it for me. Your lies and ads are desperate everyday.

Throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. Doesn't work.

If Hilton and Spears are endorsing McCain then I can't imgaine a better reason to vote for Obama. There's something deeply distrubing about a serious candidate accepting endorsements from airheads.

This is the kind of behavior that allows the creators to gloat, but changes nothing. Obama in the same league as Paris? Um... anyone who buys the idea one of the most influential politicians of modern times can be equated with a person famous for her idiocy, then they will most likely not vote at all, or already have a disdain for intellectuals. Drivel.

I'll take an intelligent, charismatic celebrity with real ability to change our stagnant, politics of greed and manipulation, system any day of the week over a senile, angry old man who would bring nothing new to the table. You go Obama...all the way to the White House and into the hearts and minds of all of us that like to actually use our brains.

Oh John, I thought you are much better than this! You are shooting your self on the foot!

Post #1 is spam and gets posted, my relevant post is censored. What the heck?

This ad will appeal to the same "intelligent" Americans that voted Bush in TWICE!

For those of us with an IQ above that of a peanut, we see these ads and the GOP tactics for what they really are: pathetic and without substance!

Obama '08

CNN: I noticed that your caption under the screen shot from McCain's ad describes the ad as "hard hitting." I think you could have used more editorial judgment and accuracy in your description. To use a boxing metaphor, to be "hard hitting" and actually land a heavy blow on Obama, I think the aim of McCain's punch would have to be more accurate. The premise of this ad and comparison of Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton (what? is McCain "Hanoi Hilton?") are so ridiculous that the ad is more of a wild swing that misses its mark than it is "hard hitting." Nevertheless, it's straight out of the Rove textbook: try to turn your opponent's strength into a weakness.

It is hysterical to hear the narcissist McCain sreaming violation because the world has been waiting for a true leader and it is not he. Really, how arrogant are you to make yourself an authority of good judgment especially when you lack good judgment yourself!? When it is all said and done, greatness speaks for itself. Barak Obama is and will continue to be one of the greatest leaders of this world and of this time. I won't be surprised if McCain referred to Bruce Lee, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, John F. Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, or Bill Clinton as narcissist if either were competing against him in this election today.

The thing that kills me more than anything is to sit here and read all the comments of people who hate Obama. The main reasons are fear of change. Most younger Presidents did not have much experience, look at Bill Clinton just to name one. Everything happens for a reason and maybe it is time for Obama. God is in charge of the universe and if this man comes out of no where pulling all races together and giving people hope......What is the problem???? Some Americans are making a mockery of change??? We need change regardless of who is in office. America needs to let what is suppose to happen, just happen. This thing is bigger than Obama, he is just a vessel.

I think the McCain is pretty out of touch with popular culture if they still think Paris Hilton is among the top three celebrities in the world. Maybe a few years ago, but not now.

Let the games begin. Can't wait for the debates when you can't read the notes. Ever wonder why he is never looking at the camera. He does not know the subjects.

The last post I submitted was at 1:30. Apparently, it is still being reviewed by the moderators, so I'll try again:

There is nothing false or misleading about the ad from what the article states. Obama failed in his visit to General Petraeus and the troops in OIF/OEF. Obama gave lip service to some other national leaders … and they gave lip service back. Obama is out of his league; no wonder his poll numbers are shaky and Senator McCain's support is firm. McCain can only move up. Notable too is the spit and vinegar coming from angry Obama supporters; they are more finite than they thought and some have actually come to that realization. With a secure Iraq and Afghanistan within sight, those of us who were a part of those successes certainly deserve better than fifth columnists like Obama and an all star cast of like minded people in his proposed administration who spent the last few years undermining our efforts. Likewise, we all deserve better than highly taxed foreign oil, with no efforts to increase domestic production of oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear and alternative energy as proposed by Senator McCain. Perhaps Americans have heard enough of Obama and his bewildering prophesies of an Obama heaven on Earth.

ROFLMAO! Is that the best the repukeblican "strategists" can come up with? Comparing Obama with Paris Hilton and Brittney Spears? HAHAHAHAHA!!! What a pathethic gaggle of utterly useless losers!!!

The current Republican election machinary is a sad and sorry bunch; OBAMA is so ready for the Presidency – the world is once again ready for America to lead; INTELLIGENTLY.

We here at the ElectObamaStore.com are green as the day is long. What we detest is the what some Republicans openly say on the cable news shows: "We'll do commercials with information that might not be true - but it's up to Obama to 'prove' that we're wrong...." So, That's the kind of truthful, honest campaign McCain is running? I hear a swiftboat coming ... ... sounds like (on all the real issues that matter) Obama's going to have to pull out the big guns; and none too soon. Staff of ElectObamaStore.com.

Umm. I think Blondie Cindy should have been mentioned with other two blondies.

Desperate people do desperate things. Believe me it's only to get worse as we get closer to November. Interesting that Rick Davis would publicly acknowlege just how popular Barack is at home and abroad. Top billing – nice job Rick. Isn't it nice to have a candidate that can inspire so many. Bottom line is the American people are fed up with negative tactics. Rick – keep the negative ads coming baby! The people of this great nation will be sending you a very clear message regarding your political tatics come November!

Do you have something concrete to propose Mr Mccain?
You spent your time just talking about Obama: He doesn't understand..., he did this..., he did that..., etc, etc.
I am tired of your negative ads (an is only summer!)

Well, there you go! Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Wow. The Republicans are rolling out the intellectual heavyweights.

Well that does it...... I refuse to vote for anyone who thinks that Britney and Paris are two of the world's top three celebrities.

I can't stand either one of those girls and I would not be proud of any child of mine that turned out like either one of them has.

wow obama is popular and mccain you are not..great ad...at least obama knows how to turn on a computer and use email...do we really want someone in control of nuclear weapons that doesnt know how to use electronic communication...

This coming from a man who refuses to use a computer? Get with the times McCain, it isn't 1960 anymore.

Their is no greater insult to HRC than voting for McCain. Their is no greater insult to the mother's and father's waiting for their kids to come home than to vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote for American's to die in Iraq for 50, maybe 100 years... who knows.

I'm sick of this nonsense. Where is the "honorable" campaign that McCain promised?

The time has come for new blood. Grandpa's need not apply.

...

Obama is talking about issues

McCain is whining "remember whining" about Obama

Who do you think is ready to lead?

Someone asked why Barack doesn't have a huge lead over McCain.

1. His race.
2. His inexperience.
3. His pastor is still hurting him.
4. The FISA vote weakened him and made him look like a flip flopper.
5. People are getting bored because neither has a VP choice yet.
6. Perhaps he could distance himself from the Clintons a little more.

DESPERATION is the only word I can come up with. I TRULY EXPECTED MORE FROM MCCAIN AND HIS CAMPAIGN. Wow, is this what he's been reduced to?

CNN, your censorship is outrageous! Based on many posts I see, there is no consistency to it. I would expect this from Fox, not from CNN.

Campaign contributions from oil industry executives to Sen. John McCain rose dramatically in the last half of June, after the senator from Arizona made a high-profile split with environmentalists and reversed his opposition to the federal ban on offshore drilling.

Oil and gas industry executives and employees donated $1.1 million to McCain last month - three-quarters of which came after his June 16 speech calling for an end to the ban - compared with $116,000 in March, $283,000 in April and $208,000 in May.

This just show why McCain is not fit to be President. He has not come up withone new solution to anything new. He is a lost soul Send him and Cindy to a retirement home.

This whole election is a joke. Politicians being politicians and we are the sheep being fleeced.

Is McCain a leader – NO; same stuff different day.

Is Obama a leader – No, apparently he's a "prince" in Europe and a "rock star" here in the USA. If I hear about change one more time...

Neither has offered a single soultion to any of our problems. The rhetoric never ceases from both sides of the aisle. Wake up. $200 million will be wasted to put another "politician" in the White House.

McCain is a war hero but is he ready to lead?

In all honesty, both candidates do make these statements, and I always question how true the statements they make are. However, I have to respect Obama's more than McCain's. This is because Obama is running a more positive campaign than McCain. I've always preferred positive campaigns over negative ones.

The Straight Talk Express has turned into the McAttack Express. I thought McCain was going to run a positive campain and keep it about the issues? I doubt if he even knows who Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are.

Oh, come on if McCain said its black the Dem. would say its white and vice versa. There is so much mess going on with the Dem. I think they are turning there on people against them. We people know what is going on in the world plus the United States, we don;t need a reminder on every corner. I think the Dem. may be sabotaging there own party, we will see.

Well I think he is more of a Celebrity want be.

Either ways he is not ready to lead the free world.

John McCain 08.

Good, that's politics – it didn't stop Obama from smearing Hillary when she was still in the race. Go Mccain.

There goes McCain, shaking his fist at the clouds and complaining about young people.

This ad smacks of the old "SHAME ON YOU, Barack Obama" tactics that turned many voters off because of its nastiness and negativity. Ads of this nature are beginning to make McCain sound like a grumpy old man - not a smart move.

72 percent of american jews belive the Iraq war was wrong remember that mr McCain .

no show businesss there

better judgment over bad experiences any day

OBAMA 08

McCain is a natural born idiot Jim Hall.

Would somebody put a lollipop in his mouth and drop him off at the retirement home.
He whines more than my 2yr old.
obama 08!

This is for No McSame – wow. You are a racist fool.

Obama is most definitely the better liked, more exciting candidate. It was the same for Ronald Reagan, J F Kennedy, and Bill Clinton (at least at some point in their political careers).

This in no way precludes Obama's message or abilities. This all just makes the Repulicans look OBVIOUSLY VERY DESPERATE AND JEALOUS to go this route.

Britney and Paris=DUMB & DUMBNER. The republicans are truly desperate. Of all celebrities to use, they chose the two with the most notorious record of reckless and immoral behavior. My God what have this country become. No wonder the American are so far behind in intellect. God help us all!!!

Good lord, John! Just how low are you willing to stoop in your pathetic attempt to become Bush III? This one's actually laughable. Sad, but laughable.

What a pathetic way to try to win a campaign...The country is in dire need of a true leader and this is the ad we get. I have zero respect for McCain, he's lost his mind, dignity and honor he once had. Please go awaye and lead Obama lead us.

Funny, he chose two Republicans to show how out of touch Obama is with the average American. What does that really say?

Wait a minute, isn't the Governor of California a big Republican celebrity with no experience in politics? I guess being a celebrity isn't a bad thing! Give it up McCain, you're just helping Obama more with your negative attacks. You'll never change my vote!

'Obama 08

If McCain lies to you now, what will he do if he is elected president? My guess, he will then screw you!! Beware of liars.

Boy, do I miss Tim Russert. He is the only one who would be calling McCain on the carpet for this ridiculous campaign. Brokow won't, George Steph... won't , Face The Nation won't. And McCain doesn't have the guts to go on MSNBC and face some of those guys.

Take the low road John. It's the road less traveled right now. You will have to share it with Fox.

McCain, Go back to 2000 and pick up your dignity. Having been Bush's yes man for the last eight years has left you with a nomination with no brain or spine. I thought you were smarter and better than this.

Wow, is McCain really this desperate this early??...McCain is soooo mad right now...I cant wait to see him morph into the hulk

Jealousy........just plain jealousy in the Republican camp.

The Repugblicans can't distinguish between Confidence and Arrogance when it comes to Obama.

Well, if it would have been anyone else besides Obama for the Democratic Presidential Nominee, it would have been Confidence. It just happens to be Obama with all the Confidence and some peope just don't like it.

The nerve of a black man with CONFIDENCE!

He has 300 advisors. Can't he lead by himself?

Are you an idiot? You ever heard of the president's cabinet? No president leads by himself, MORON!!!! Go back to 4th grade and repeat social studies.

Okay, take take the gloves off and depict McCain as a senile, grumpy old man with no ideas of how to lead, complete with a trophy wife.

What would happen if the American public had those images seered into its conscience as it watched this guy fumble and gaffe his way through the next 100 days of the campaign.

I'm sure the conservatives would cry "foul", but isn't this latest round the same kind of junk the King George played on John Kerry to get everyone away from looking at his previous four years of blunder? What is good for the goose . . .

Who listens to Britney and Paris for political advice. They needed parenting oh I am sorry the money raised them.

Britney raise your kids sweetheart!!!!!!

Oops!

Did anyone see the Obama ad with all the crying adults? Reminds me of all these CNN posters.

Why do you in the MSM keep giving the McCain campaign air time for this garbage? you are as bad as they are. Quit it CNN

Mr. Wilson, go home and take a nap!!!

This won't work this time!!!

Talk about what you are going to do and maybe someone will listen.

lol, silly McCain is so desperate he's hired dumb and dumber

The only thing Barry Obama is ready to lead is a pack of school kids across a street. Of course there better be cameras there if you expect him to show up.

McCain attacking the Messiah is just wrong. Obama will save us. He said so himself. I believe him. Just look at everything he has done for us so far.

This is desperate and if I hear this guy say AH one more time...

McCain's lead is coming from his negative misleading ads. Obama will wait for McCain to put his foot in his mouth. I believe that McCain will be scorched during debates.

I think Senator McCain and hIs advisers have not learned from the experience of Senator Clinton that these mockery and negative campaign ads are signs of fear of defeat. And remember what ever you fear will definitely befall you. McCain's campaign advisers are playing on the emotions of voters.

McCain and his advisers can no longer say that Obama is inexperienced in Foreign Affairs. As I a result they definitely have to find others faults so that their supporters will not be disappointed about their performances.

From Obama's visit to the Middle East and Europe anyone with sound judgement can see that OBAMA can effortlessly steer a wise American foreign agenda. This is what his rival McCain and Company are in panic about.

K. Kimba

McCain is jealous of Obama, Britney, and Paris....so he decided to stuff them together in an advertisment, plus he's jealous of them three because they're all ALOT younger than him and more popular

OF COURSE BARACK OBAMA IS POPULAR WORLD WIDE...BECAUSE IT NOT ONLY PEOPLE IN THE U.S. THAT WANT CHANGE BUT PEOPLE WORLD WIDE.

GET A CLUE YOU REPUBLICANS...PEOPLE NOT ONLY IN THE U.S. BUT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD ARE SICK AND TIRED OF THE MESS THAT THE REPUBLICANS HAVE GOTTEN US INTO...WE DON'T HAVE GOOD FOREIGN RELATIONS BECAUSE OF ALL OF BUSH'S POLICIES THAT JOHN MCCAIN AGREES WITH..

I SAY HOORAY FOR OBAMA HE'S STRONG, CONFIDENT, ELOQUENT, INTELLIGENT AND IS THE BEST CANDIDATE BAR NONE.

WAKE UP PEOPLE PUT BARACK OBAMA IN THE WHITE HOUSE...THIS COUNTRY NEEDS HIM ..WE ALL NEED HIM

OBAMA ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE 08!!!!!

If McCain lie to you now, what will he do if elected president? I guess the only thing left is for him then is to screw you!! Be aware of liars.

after 8 years of bush administration, anyone would look like a great president, even paris hilton.

So Obama is now a symbol!?! I wonder if he will adopt the "Prince" symbol as his new logo since he is now a symbol.

Substance over the "Symbol"!! McCain '08!!

Why doesn't McCain quit with the negative ads and say something positive for a change about his own campaign…oh I forget – the Republicans never have anything positive to say and don't have a solution for the mess they've created.

Um... how popular is McCain? He shouldn't be popular with veterans, since he has a horrible record in this area...

AND MCCAIN 'S WIFE SAID HE WOULDN'T CONDUCT A DIRTY CAMPAIGN !!
HANG ON TO YOUR HATS ! HERE WE GO !
THE REPUBLICANS ARE AT IT,AGAIN !
SWIFT BOATS ARE ACOMIN' !!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a shame, someone who I liked, though don't always agree with, who suffered through so much abuse and dirty politics regarding himself and his wife, would stoop so low during this political year. He has become so negitive I can't listen to him anymore. Sorry my friend,
Helen

Since Obama acts and McCain reacts, I'd say Obama is the effective one. Will we see McCain topless with a snake next, or slithering around on a soapy car eating a cheeseburger? I bet we DON'T see him in front of crowds chanting "McCain, McCain."

Maybe the media is to fault for this, but I haven't heard McCain do anything but attack Obama for the past three weeks. I haven't heard him discuss his initiatives and plans at all. However, I have repeatedly heard Senator Obama discuss his position on dealing with America's allies, Iraq, Afghanistan, energy solutions, etc. I guess the real question is whether Senator McCain is ready to lead? I don't think he is.

Senator McNegative.

Oops, he did it again!

tired tactics from a tired campaign aimed at a country tired of more of the same.

smacks of jealousy.

pathetic.

I can't believe I used to like McCain. He has done nothing but fire potshots during this campaign.

Why don't they just give up on these stupid ads and DONATE the money spent to the huge mess the current Repulican party got us into? McCain could spend time trying to getting us out of this mess instead of spending time putting Obama on the defense. Obama is TOO BUSY to put up with the juvenile tactics of the McCain campaign!!

The McCain campaign is pathetic. Why don't they spend some time actually articulating a platform, and less time making some of the most ridiculously irrelevant tv ads i've seen in my life. The more I hear coming from McCain, the more I think that his whole team are spoiled brats - mad because no one is playing with them. Grow up.

Is this all the McCain camp can muster up? Its really quite pathetic.

OK is McBush...oops...MCain 72 or 12???? He is sure acting like an adolescent to me. Get over yourself – we do not need another conservative, war mongering "pug" in the White House...While I was and still am a Hillary Supporter – I now stand by Obama because he certainly is ready to lead – and smart enough to get the right people beside him and behind him to support that leadership.....McCain – well i'd be afraid the stress of minute in the White House would stress the old guy's heart and have him instantly drop – then we're stuck with a McCaineete "Veep"- UGH....

Don't be fooled. This is not an ad trying to say Obama is a celebrity. This ad is straight out of the southern republican play book when you have a black candidate doing well in the polls. Ask Rep Harold Ford! This ad stinks of racism. Although it is subtle, the message is linking a black man to white women. I truly thought McBush was better than that. Shame on the GOP, but we've seen this before!!!

I DON'T HE CAN BOOG US DOWN ANY FURTHER, WHERE WERE THE McCAIN EXPERTISE DURING THE PAST EIGHT YEARS, IN POLICTICS THERE AERN'T ANY REAL GUARANTEES, LEAVE OBAMA ALONE, THE IRAQ WAR IS A GRAVE JUDGEMENT ERROR, THERE ARE BAD DICATATORS ON EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD, WHY DID'NT WE STRIKE OTHER AREAS, NORTH KOREA, CHINA, RUSSIA, PARTS OF AFRICA, ANSWER THAT

Exactly the reason I will vote for Obama and not McCain, he focuses on the reall issues and not the politics surrounding him.

Obama represents all those cliches that you hear, such "drive for show putt for dough". He is driving for show; all great speeches and still not much substance.

Oh, Dee, hon'. McCain's statements about the reasons Obama didn't visit those particular troops has been debunked (along with an email written by a soldier who has since admitted that he had the wrong info in his email. In other words, he lied). The Army Times disavowed McCain's statements along with many soldiers who, unlike McCain or his mudslinging surrogates, were actually there. Please, seek out the truth behind the misinformation that's being tossed out by the McCain camp. Knowledge is power. Use it.

"White guilt will not force me to vote for Barrack Obama. I have nothing to feel guilty about."

people say this kind of thing over and over to themselves to convince themselves that they'e not a racist, and they actually expect people to believe they fundamentally agree more with mccain than obama... cool life dorks.

McCain's jealous... that's hot.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!!!!! BRITNEY SPEARS AND PARIS HILTON TWO OF THE BIGGEST S-– IN AMERICA. THIS IS ALL YOU HAVE MCCAIN

LAUGHIN!!!!!!

Obama doesn't have to put out adds slurring McCain all he has to do is sit back and let his star struck fans do it for him. To bad you can't see your playing right into his hands with your negative comments.

How does it feel being used lol

McCain is a HATER! He's clearly jealous because the media is disgusted by him.

Confident black men are often mistaken for arrogant. Who cares? He has the right to be, he’s freaken’ awesome!

McCain is senile and bitter. I never thought the day would come that a 70-something-year-old rich white man would be jealous of a young black man! Times are changing!!! LOLLLLLLLLL!

one last thing...to all the Repub's who think that just because Obama is a Dem and will go to war or open the welfare rolls or whatever the nonsense. He is still a Christian man with a conscience, more than i can say for the big oil-lying for war-thief the poor give to themselves-right wingers we've had to suffer under for the last 8 yrs.

I want a celebrity for President!! I want a leader that other nations like and respect. I want a celebrity Leader who will actually be viewed as the Leader of the Free World and inspires dedication, devotion and loyalty from the Free World.

Having a President who's been a go-it-alone, hard-nosed, says-the-dumbest-things guy who practices cowboy diplomacy has caused our country to be hated and despised throughout the world. The mentality of, 'You're either with us or against us!" is just about the DUMBEST thing a President can do... and our nation is literally paying the price for it with footing the whole Iraq war bill.

Nova – what are McCain's credentials on economic issues? technology?

Keep going McSame you are turing red states into blue!!!!

If we have a negative ad (statement ) counter, It would be around 11K just like the dow jones only going inversly proportional.
McCain should stop being negative and show us how he will be better than Bush. The rest is actually doing the opposite effect.

McSame can't stand the attention that Obama is getting! Everyone loves Obama. He's so jealous, he's fuming. It's so sad to see him unravel like this. Just keep ignoring him Obama and he'll just keep getting more and more desperate. Maybe all his negativity will finally implode. What a nice thought that is.

Republicans not only disgust me after the last 8 years, but I seriously hope I run into you little pathetic wimps on the street if you dare wear your McCain 08 buttons. You want a war? I'll give you one, but your not going to be able to hide behind your computer screen and be chicken hawk.

All that I have heard from Mc Cain the last 2 + weeks is attacks on Obama instead of concentrating on specifics on how he might better things for the country and the people that are struggling and everytime that I turn on Rush Limbaugh's radio show all he does attack Obama as if Rush has the answers to everything why is he not running for president. I dont believe that things can get any worse than the current presidenthas made them, politics aside I believe that Obama is the most sincere about wanting to try to make things better, I hope Obama does get into the white house so Rush Limbaugh can make a trip there and bow down before the Mesiah.

Oh my. This has to be the most pathetic thing the McCain campaign has done yet. Sad. So very sad.

Did Karl Rove do this ad?

Obama supporters it appears when ads come out the truth hurts...... and all you know how to do is whine...........

This was the funniest attempt to attack another campaign I have ever seen in my life. First they say he ignores the troops by showing him with the troops and now this. Karl Rove tactics are so 2004. Or, in McCain's case 2000.

Any way the ad sucks. He answered his own question. You don't organize a campaign like Obama's without knowing how to lead. McCain's the one with Mission Creep.

I'd love to see an election with NO trash-talking ads against the other candidate....but that will never happen.

Believe me, I'll still vote for Obama, even if McCain's staff thinks he's nothing but a celebrity.

Britany Spears and Paris Hilton are two of the biggest INTERNATIONAL celebrities?? How totally out of touch McCain and the Republicans are!!!

Still waiting for an Obama ad on this blog....balance the free advertising you are giving McCain!!

This is just sad. I do wonder why the lead isn't larger though.

Relax, americalives. Obama's real lead is likely close to 20 pts. Why? Because virtually no one like me ever gets a polling call. I'm part of the millions who support Obama in the under 30 crowd who doesn't have a land-line phone to receive these polling calls. Also, don't forget the millions who are on no-calls lists.

Think about it, who is most likely to have a land line, NOT be on the no call list and BE HOME to answer these random polling calls?? Seniors. So all these 46-42 polls out there, I'd venture to say is how Obama is polling with the 60+ crowd. The fact that he's ahead at all with this group is very good news for Obama supporters.

obama is in no position to r.u.n this country, but he would be in a position to r.u.i.n this country

OBAMAAAAAAA!, OBAMAAAAAAAA! Glory to Obama, now all we need is for Obama to walk on water. Truth hurts!! The only change Obama will make is the going from a millionaire to a billionaire thanks to all the donations by the cult followers!

McCain's campaign is like a SNL episode. I feel sorry for the Republicans trying to support this moron. Obama speaks in front of 200,000 in Berlin, while McCain talks about the price of milk in front of 3 or 4 people in freakin' grocery store.

You couldn't script a worse campaign strategy if you tried.

I'm starting to feel sorry for McSame....well...not really.

This is laughable. All McCain has it lies. Britney in the top 3 biggest celebreties??? McCain has lost his bearings.

I don't understand that why most Americans just think about the present. What will happen to the future, when China and Middle East become powerful!!! Dem and Clinton helped/help the foreign countries gain their economy and power. Clinton signed the Open Door Act and now most things bought are made in China. After Obama's term is over, everything will be made in "Islam and Muslim".

No tact at all. That's why McCain will lose....he has no platform to challenge Barack on...so he challenges him about everything that he's lacking...ie, youth, charisma, popularity and smarts.

Obama is busy looking forward, meeting with both Republican and Democrat experts to work on solving America's problems while McCain
is busy criticizing and running negative ads containing lies about Obama. (Of course this is only five days a week because McWar doesn't work weekends).

The fact that McCain used Paris and Britney, proves that the man is way out of touch from other generations.

Dont you love how the Obama spokesman hit back at McCain for a "negative ad"? We are under 100 days to the election and according to the Obama spokesman McCain cannot tell the truth about Obama.
Is this the type of country that we will have under an Obama Presidency that you cannot challenge a President Obama or be called a racist or a negative person?
I choose not to go there. If you do to, vote for McCain

According to what he supposedly said 'behind closed doors' with the House of Representatives. He wants Washington to start to listen to the US citzens that voted in the current Congress, and of course him in Nov.... Well, why isn't he listen to us now.
A. Start drilling for domestic oil, including off shore drilling.
B. Stop ILLEGAL immigration....NO AMNESTY.
C. Don't continue to bail out businesses and/or people for making BAD financial decisions.....No one is paying my mortgage. BUT apparently I will be expected to pay someone else's because they defaulted.

Don't apoligize to the rest of the world for me. I am very, very proud of America. Germany and France haven't helped us...WE HAVE HELPED THEM...Did he forget that?

LOL This is absolutely ridiculous. Is the McCain camp serious with this nonsense, bringing Paris Hilton & Britney Spears into their presidential campaign folly? They owe these ladies an apology. And imagine, the McCain camp tried to say the media was sexist about women in high level positions. Hmm....pot meet kettle.

Please, please, please focus on facts and research the candidates. If we allow this false advertising and fear tactics to work, then we will continue to pick bad presidents such as Bush. If you check out the candidates, you will find that actually Obama has better credentials than McCain to lead this country. McCain has done very little for our military and for this country. Given he has few ideas to turn around our economic situation, he is spending all of his time attacking Obama in a negative manner which he hopes will instill fear in people and lead to our not looking at the issues and their performance. If McCain truly had something to offer us he would be focusing on issues and his concrete plans to improve the issues in our country. How sad that the greatest country in the world would allow ourselves to have such inept leaders. No wonder our economy and reputation is slipping.

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears equals empty HEAD

McCain has turned into a bad joke, nothing more.

I'm sick of his negativity – all he offers is criticism, nothing constructive. I've tuned him out completely.

The ads serves a purpsoe and they know it. It is aimed at the btoom feeders. The people who cannot distinguish between fcat and distortion. In other words, it is aimed at stupid people. They do make up a large portion of the population.

Shame on McCain !!

Poor McCain – the forgotten stepchild!

It is so funny to hear people ask why Obama hasn't pulled away from McCain. The question is, why can't McCain, a man the American people know, can't pull ahead of Obama.

Yeah, thats about right. About the same mentality; all 3 of them. Mr Obama, why haven't you hired papparrazzi fo follow you around yet?

we dont need obama. we need a real leader

Paris , Britney and McCain ... bunch of losers fit together ....

McCain and his campaign have totally lost their marbles. These ads only confirm that they are so obsessed with Obama that they don't even have a message anymore [correction, never really did]. I believe that if President Bush was liked around this country and the world, he would have been able to do a better job.
In this case, it's too much to ask for. Go Obama – YOU ARE THE MAN AND THE REPUBLICANS KNOW IT!!

I've read over some of the comments left on the board and I am surprised to see that Repub's are calling Obama a "rock star" and media "superstar". Geez, you half to chalk up all the work to GW for making Obama look so good. To be honest that as a black man in America I know well enough that no man is going to steer this country correctly, whether he be white or black. The only one to trust is God, so i ask "When Will America Bless God?"

According to what he supposedly said 'behind closed doors' with the House of Representatives. He wants Washington to start to listen to the US citzens that voted Congress, and of course him in Nov.,... Well, whay isn't he listen to us now.
A. Start drilling for domestic oil, including off shore drilling.

The more negative attacks that Republicans throw just proves that their days are numbered!!! It's time for real hope, change and a turn in the right direction for this country and world!

Republicans = Desperate and out of touch with reality.
OBAMA= CHANGE,HOPE,INSPIRATION

Just Keeping it Real
OBAMA '08
Get on board!!!!

McCain your ad makes Obama look better than you. Images are more powerful than words. Obama looks like a leader in your ad. Maybe someone should go back to the drawing borad. THis is a big ooops.

How condescending of McCain.

More evidence that the McCain campaign has nothing to offer the American people but snarky campaign ads and tired, out of date ideas.

It sure is quite telling that most liberal Democrats in America believe that the facts are attacks and that the truth is hate speech.

Everyone knows that liberal Democrats are all about defining people based on their skin color, ethnicity, and sexuality. There is no doubt that they made their decision on who to run based on calling those who won't support them sexist or racist. Obviously racist carries more weight and that is what the hateful, dishonest, liberal Democrats went with.

I have spent a great deal of time in Red and Blue America. All people in Red America are much much much more kind, friendly, thoughtful, helpful, honest, repsectful and loving than the people in Blue America. It is not about how someone talks about the generality of a group of people but how we interact with each person on an individual level. There is no comparison, Red America is filled with people who are just amazing human beings where as Blue America is filled with the most rude, vile, hateful, selfish, mean-spirited people this nation has ever seen. Yes, there are two Americas, one that takes pride in being kind, honest and thoughtful and another that is rude, hateful, dishonest and selfish. I hope the best of America wins out in this election and that people like Rev. Wright and their brand of hate and division lose. To not agree with me, well as a conservative I fully support your right to do so (even though you want me censored and locked up for not agreeing with you), but really what type of person are you and more importaintly what type of people are you raising?

to Nova from NV
who would that leader be? McCain who helped Bush get us where we are today. after all McCain vote 95% with Bush. why do you think times are hard who do you think got us to this point,,,,, can you say the GOP,BUSH, MCCAIN. need i say more

McCain's campaign has put forth very little in the way of ideas to address the enormous problems we are faced with in this country. This lack of and inability to provide substance leads to the "trash" put out in the way of political ads.

The truth express has run out of gas–and a proposal to suspend the gas tax will not refil the tank

come on john why is your staff looking to sling mud why want you run a positive campaign i am not a fan of these young ladies but they make more sense than your senior staff obama 08 and keep rocking the vote paris and britney hey i am your newest fan

Haha. McCain...really? Talk about the straight talk express. McCain is being thrown around by a bunch of Bush cronies in what he thinks is his best chance to win the election. Sorry John, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

.............THE FACT IS .............................................................................,

O B A M A .... IS MORE ARTICULATE . JOHN MC CAIN
TOOK PRETTY MUCH THE SAME WORLD TOUR BUT 200,000 HAVE NEVER SHOWN UP FOR HIM.

O B A M A HAS THE ABILITY TO BRING OUR ALLIES BACK.
...........if we're fighting a war that is important.

O B A M A IS PROPOSING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY. THE OFFSHORE DRILLING PRODUCES 3 YEARS OF OIL AND IS CURRENTLY BANNED BECAUSE IT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS OUR ENVIRONMENT..

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY CREATES NEW JOBS. WE MUST BE WILLING TO CHANGE HOW WE DO THINGS AS A NATION OR THERE WILL BE NO IMPROVEMENT AND WE WILL SEE THE SAME OUTCOMES.

THE PRESENT STATE OF THINGS HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON BY REPUBLICAN POLICIES . PLEASE OFFER HOPE FOR THINGS TO CHANGE . PLEASE VOTE FOR OBAMA.

I AM A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN WHO REGRETFULLY VOTED FOR THE WORST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD. GEORGE BUSH.

Go McCain. Someone needs to call out Obama, may as well be you!

Those who don't want a celebrity are out of their minds...Barracks not a celebrity...Maybe Arnold is in California ^ Ronald Reagen but Obama ...certainly not!

To all the white cult members of the Obama Camp, just remember he has attended a radical black church for 20 years with the "HATE WHITE MEN" doctoring , whites invented Aides and all that is bad for all other races. Take note how fast he turned on his Rev. Wright, once he gets in office, he will do the same for you!!!! Stop the Brain Washing.

Britney and Paris are voices of .... what? Reason? Knowledge? Good judgement? I think not.

"hard hitting"? Lol. doesn't that imply you actually connect with your target?

Can someone tell me why appealing to people the whole world over is a bad thing?

Obama should make an add with the Crazy guy who shot and killed 2 in a church in Knoxville because they were Librials and he did not agree with them. See what being a republican is all about, killing those who dont think like you! Nice Job McCain.

Mccain is too old for for this kine of stuff/lying

This is just pathetic. McCain should ashamed for the kind of campaign he has run so far and the desperational attacks that he has come up with so far. This is just getting ridiculous!

Every time the McCain campaign puts out a piece of trash like this, whatever integrity he had takes a hit. Go home John to your ranch and flip hamburgers for your cronnies.

The citizens of the world and the USA are sick of G W Bush and his cronies like John McCain. This is Obama's point when he says this is what the world is waiting for, which is obvious to anyone but desperate, misleading Republicans.

It is not Obama's fault that Mr. McCain does not have the have charisma or personality of Obama. Stop being so jealous and focus on issues that matter to us most. May the best man become the president.

Yes ,Obama is ready to lead.John McCain is getting very desperate with these childish ads.It will all backfire on him.I think maybe John McCain is a little jealous of Barack Obama.

Wow some you dem's make the case in your comments on why we Christians and republicans do not like this guy. You talk of following him instead of electing a leader. A follower does not question or even take the time to learn about someone and their qualifications. (Obama) A leader is elected because they have a track record and he or she is allowed to lead because they are promoted. As someone who runs a company he does not have the qualifications to run this country or even a business. He has no track record. You don't hire someone and HOPE they will do well-you take the time to hire someone who has the track record and can measured by there past performance.

so obama doesn't run negative attact ads??????

how out of touch is the McCain campaign? Senator McCain if you had any new ideas you'd be talking about them but sadly you don't. And well this election is clearly about a fresh start. You clearly aren't in touch with the issues and problems of the 21st Century. On the other hand I really can't imagine a candidate that better understands what we face ahead and better represents the America of tomorrow then Obama. I think the majority of us feel this way. I guess we'll see in November.

who do you want and old cranky fart who does not know how to use a computer and who thinks that cost of living being high and hard on the avg person is all in their head, McCain does not identify with you the doesn’t even pump for his own car I bet he doesn’t even drive himself anymore.

I HAVE A FAIL PROOF METHOD TO PICK THE BEST PRESIDENT.

LET'S SAY LORD FORBID YOU HAVE PANCREATIC CANCER.

DO YOU WANT A SURGEON THAT HAS LOST ALL HIS PATIENTS

BUT DUE TO AGE, 72, CLAIMS THE MOST EXPERIENCE.

OR A 46 YEAR OLD THAT HAS HAD A 100% SUCCESS RATE.

MCBUSH HIMSELF STATES THAT HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT

THE ECONOMY, BUT HE HAS THE MOST EXPERIENCE.

TRUE, HE IS 72 YEARS OLD & ALL HIS EXPERIENCE HAS LED

HIM TO BE WRON A 100% OF THE TIME. & IS NOT QUALIFIED

TO MANAGE A SMALL MCDONALDS, LET ALONE THE LARGEST

ECONOMY IN THE WORLD, WITH END STAGE DEBT CANCER.

Don't lump him with us out of Illinois or Chicago. He is not "from" here, he just happened to jump on the bandwagon and has been pretending ever since.

"A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square": I smell a troll!!!

So, umm... Does McCain have anything positive to contribute to the campaign? Or is he just so desperate that he has no shame?

Or wait, it could be both.

So we have a new Republican group now: Brain Dead for McCain!

Leaders become well-admired by the world, so I guess the admiration of millions of people makes Barack a world leader.

The press creates celebrity so I guess the world press loves Obama.

So this silly ad points out just how poorly prepared McCain is to lead his campaign. If he can't lead his campaign staff, why would millions of people admire him and the world press follow him around.

To people who are going to vote for Obama

In regards to the large deficit, do you really feel that the Tax and SPEND plan by Obama will actually work. Bush tried less tax and spend and obviously it didn't work.

We need a moderate in the office. Not a leftist or rightist in the office.

McCain's plan revolves around less gov't spending. This is the right path.

The Republicans will stop at nothing it seems. Good grief. Desperate people do desperate things!

Obama '08!

This really is sad! Didn't McCain say he would rise above the past "negative" campaigning techniques. He is apparently trying to sink to a new low.

Why can't he just focus on the issues instead of running these senseless non-founded fact ads.

Jealousy breeds contempt and anger, it looks like McCain and his camp have achieved both levels.

ahh.. love rhetorical questions! Johnny Mc needs to do better than this.... or is this all he got??? one word of advice: RETIREMENT!!!!

Endorsements coming from these characters, come on, you got to be serious...... One has advertised runs-in with the laws, caught in compromising shots without any underwear; the other grew up with a silver spoon and a platter, and yet still served time in jail for drinking and driving, if she is not partying with friends. You two ladies better your senses and stop barking at the wrong tree. Are you afraid that Obama may slap more taxes on your wealth?

I feel this is just a cheap shot & Mccain should start thinking about what his agenda is & quit worrying about Barrack's...Silly!

SOUR GRAPES McCAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How low will you go.

McCain & his krewe and the stiffs at the RNC are running exactly the negative campaign anyone with a memory would expect them to run. McCain is a wooden plodder and anyone with a pulse rate above 60 looks animated and dynamic compared to him. With that handicap McCain's only option is to try to frame Obama as a show-off. As an independent who voted for McCain in the 2000 primary against Dubbya, and watched how the Bushies trashed him unfairly, I would have hoped that McCain would run a higher-minded campaign. Apparently in his now shallow mind the end justifies the means. He ain't the McCain I remember.

This is the last time I will ever write on the CNN site. I will admit that I often checked in on the comments for various policital stories to see what people were writing. The postings have become nothing of value. Most of the postings are name calling rants (do any of these sould familiar: McSame, McOld, Mc (what ever childish term you want to insert)) with little thought or intellect. I had gotten to the point where I would read postings up to the point where a derogitory name was written and then stop reading the posting. But then I found I was only able to read about 1 in 20 postings. I'll find an activity where 95% of my time isn't wasted.

Barack Obama has my vote.

Obama go 2008

I read all these postings on the "Ticker" daily and I have concluded that Obama supporters are just a bunch of haters.........and to believe that Obama has any kind of plan is stupid...I have been watching, listening and reading and find absolutely no substance. He will do nothing to help the American people.....Maybe he should just do movies I see he is a good actor and is after all a celebrity (gag).

McCain, Britney and Paris......could there be 3 bigger losers?

Sen McCain is a rambling, out of touch old man. His body came home from Vet Nam but his mind is still there.

Obama is just a breath of really fresh air, and the Republicans know that if his popularity continues to grow here and around the world, they won't see the White House for 30 years.

If the shoe fits... and I would say we found our Cinderfella!!!

NOBAMA, NO WAY.

Where's the BEEF???
NO BEEF, NO OBAMA!!!

truth hurts dems. the guy is an empty suit.

Hilter talked his way in and look what happened.
Hussain of Iraq got in and look at the killing of persons and rape of women of a different group than Hussain.
Obama has suggested taking way freedoms for Charity and Taxes to give the churches, that are against our constitution. And what did he teach in Chicago??? Law???? Think twice before you vote in Nov. Once you give up freedoms, only war will help the persons get their freedoms back....W W 2 and Iraq war.....Obama pretty face and no brains.....

You don't want a celebrity for President, do you know McCain has been in two movies and Obama has never been in anything. So guess that means you don't want McCain for President!

John McCain and his team have nothing to offer, so all they can do is to attack Barack Obama...and there is a chance that they can win by attacking...it is sad, but it has happened several times that losers won by the help of fools.

obama is biggest celebrity.thank you for pointing that out.never has a politician reached this celebrity status,and with good reason.most politicians are boring liars,out for their own greed,[mccain].paris and brittany are no where near obama.they appeal to little girls.obama appeals to everyone at every age.mccain should put out more ads, recognizing barack's status as a superhero,as well.he could stand with batman and spideyman.

McCain stop with all of negative comments; American is ready for a change and need a change and Obama is the one that can provide that change...OBAMA 08

Look, he went over seas to strengthen his credentials on foreign policy which he has none. He also wanted to have the photo op with world leaders which he now has plenty. Obama is more about vanity than any politicians in the U.S. history. America, please elect a leader we can believe in.

I am appalled by the negativity of the American election campaign. The attacks seem so personal. The focus seems be on the trivial rather than substantive issues. There seems to be so much misinformation being put out there. Unfortunately, some people belief everything they read and do not analyze for themselves.

Thank God the campaigns here are not half as nasty. I am sure everyone will breathe a sigh of relief when this is over.

What is McCrazy thinking? That ad is nothing but lies.

I so agree – McCain does indeed act like he has a crush on Obama!!
I'm not even American, but watching McCain on CNN has become very frustrating and irritating because all he does is criticise Obama.

I never hear him say anything else.
I've not heard him talk about issues once in the past 2 weeks, just Obama, Obama, Obama.

It makes one so sad to think that Americans might actually vote McCain into the White House just to keep Obama out because his mother dared to give him half non-white genes.

People, Obama is more white than black. He was brought up by white people, white people, he is one of you, not the scary other!!

Please dont shock us again like you did when you returned Bush to the Presidency.

What is wrong with the american people. Obama is not the man for the job. He does not even have the respect to thank our soldiers while on his visit over seas. These soldiers do not get the respect they deserve. If it was not for the men and women serving our country we the american people could not do what we do every day without worry. Yes we all have problems whether it be financial or whatever but do you ever think that there are people our there way worse than we are. I'm not saying that McCain should win either cause he also has issues but we really need to think about this. No one will ever know what these two men really think about our nation. Unless you personally know them.

Again,

McCain sounds so stupid. I hope Americans do not fall for his message. He sounds like a jealous ex-husband. I am sick of his attacks. It is getting just as old as he is. He has the image of a grumpy of man. I thought he was okay until about two weeks ago. Now he makes me cringe.

Why am I endlessly moderated and censored?

This is preposterous! I have never done anything wrong on this forum except to oppose Obama! My posts are always respectful.

Please take me out of endless moderation; this is absurd and quite unfair.

Does CNN believe in free speech?

Didn't McCain say he was going to run a campaign of respect and focused on the issues that matter?

Those who speak... don't Know...Those who know ...don't speak. This is really getting entertaining. Obama 08

Republicans stop nominating candidates with a D grade for president. What's McCain's education level? Bush then McCain, Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaseeeeeeeeeeeeee American stand up.

Everytime they say "presumptious" or any incarnation of the word, they mean "Uppity Negro."

Shame on the Republicans, shame on the Media who regurgitate this meme all day long, shame on all of you looking for a reason not to vote for a BLACK man.

The black nominee gets compared to the worst of the white society by the Racists Party i.e. The Republican Party

It is a sad day in America. This is an insult to all Blacks.

McCain and Obama are ready to lead as much as I am or the average kid.
Scary!!!!

Sounds like sourgrapes to me... McCain said he rather give speeches in Germany once president, the way his campaign is going, he won't have that chance. He could only wish to speak in front of a 200K crowd, sadly not enough big oil execs in this country to sit on his speeches

If you read the Pro-McCain comments here, ninety percent of them are just sad. I truly hope that the majority of the voting public do not think like these people. After eight years of George W. Bush's failed policies and "good ol' boy" tactics, it's time to let someone else lead.

How sad. When you don't have any answers or solutions, you attack. How you managed remain a senator is beyond me. You have such a lack of character. Senator Obama is what the America needs, a return to integrity and honor. Some one who is seeking a political office to serve the people instead of serving them self.

While Barack goes about being presidential and showing the world that he is serious about REAL issues, the McCain campaign is stooping to new lows every day! McCain does not know what to do next to try to take the spotlight away from Obama, but the truth is, he knows that the American people are too smart for that. We know a good leader when we see one and it's NOT McCain!!!! I would rather see Paris Hilton or Britney Spears as President than McCain!!!!
OBAMA 2008

What does it say about McCain's campaign that they think Britney and Paris are still two of the top three celebrities in the world? Three words: Out. Of. Touch.

Britney and Paris are, like, so last week.

I don't want a celebrity for President!

As some have said, if it weren't for the color of his skin he wouldn't be where he is now. It's certainly not because of his stance which by the way are almost the same now as Hillary. Why does he need 300 advisors ? Can't he lead by himself ? WhamBama is all fluff just like Britney and great fodder for the media to make ratings and hence more advertising sales !!! NEXT . . . .!!!

Even McCain's biopsy was negative!

McCain must not be familiar with how Reagan and Arnold won their elections!?!?

To Brooke, Can you explain to me how any man who grew up without a father, was in debt until he wrote his two books. How is he an arrogant person. Pleas explain.

July 29th, 2008 2:28 pm ET
I always say where there is smoke there is fire. So if AFL – CIO is denying something, there must be some truth in there somewhere.

Besides Obama is the riskier of the two candidates. I am afraid of his immature decisions and his hesitancy to go to war when everyone in Congress, the President and foreign leaders think we should.

Obama is a flipper of the worst kind.

Watch him try to resurrect the welfare queen industry. if you want someone to protect our values pick McCain, if you want some risky leader choose obama.

He lives in a state of denial about the surge……………………..

Nobama08!

Oh my goodness... when is john mccain going to offer "solutions"? This is so sad! All I've seen from him over the last month... is "Sen Obama...this ...Sen Obama that". When is he going to have something to say about what he plans to do? Even more pathetic are the people listening to McCain and saying... "he cares". He hasn't said anything to make me think he cares. He lies!

These two trashy trollops are the two dumbest women in the country.You would think they would at least get somebody who graduated from kindergarten. Although I'm a Democrat , I like John McCain, if I were him I'd fire what ever idiot thought this one up.

Indeed- this is a free ad for Obama.
They are helping Obama campaign. Good job by republican for Obama.
Dem should congratulate them!!!

There is something very distasteful about the add. It reeks of dishonesty and shallowness, but there's more than that wrong here.
Oh yeah, it's a caricature. It's a Republican creation. It has nothing to do with making the best choice. BOOOOOOO!

OOPS! McShame has done it again. Insulting the intelligence of the American people. Small minds, such as his, can only talk about people. They have no plans or solutions. All they can do is name call and throw mud. He has become so sad and will do anything to be president. I would fell creepy just being in the same room with this guy ,much less have him represent my country. The Republicans deserve better representation. Right about now, even Bush may not be as bad as this guy.

McSurge said numerous time that he would not run any negative ads. What the hell is this then. He's not only a liar, he has no credibility at all. This is exactly what American have had for eight years with Bush and Chaney and now some people want more of the same crap from McSurge and the Republicans? UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!

Everything in this ad is pure lies and misleading. Only STUPID people who knows nothing will believe it.

Don't believe the Republican BS hype people.

What is sad is reading how lost you all are. You need to be a leader to make change not a great speech maker.....John Mccain is a leader (not a speech maker who wows the crowd promising things he can't deliver)and will make change.

Mccain '08!

So under this ad’s logic it would be better to have some who’s hated and despised throughout the world rather than someone who’s loved and revered?

Obama is definitely ready to lead. From the way McCain has run his campaign, I'd say he's the one who is not ready to lead. Oh, and Michael, the two traits that make Obama dangerous is not ignorance nor arrogance as you stated, but for folks who are so afraid of Obama those two traits would be he's black and he's very smart – and that's always been a dangerous combination in America, to the racists.

John McCain has done it... pulled the Britney card. Hilarious!

more negative republican trash.who cares?i have a dvr,and can skip every ad he puts out.i luv my divver!i can also recordificate obama's speeches,and can pahooosay,anytime i want.

is because he is the dullest boarding person in the world.

Poor schlep, McCain. While he was having multiple senior moments last week, our next president had Europeans waving the American flag instead of burning it. From senior moment to senior moment, McCain doesn't know what brush to paint Obama with. One minute he's calling him Dr. No, the next Paris Hilton? This just shows the kind of befuddled wackiness we could expect from McCain. Frightening to think that creepy, little smile of his would go abroad in our name.

Can the country affort another 4 years for Bush?
- Budget deficit 500 Billions
- Economy in recession
- Gas prices more than 4 $
- Housing market melting
- Tax relief for the wealthiest American.

McSame is offering the same. He voted 95% to support Bush policies. He wanted to make Bush taxes permanent

No, not this time

We have such losers to choose from for president that I am having to wait and find out who the VP is in order to make a choice. So far the losers Obama has selected don't impress me at all. Boring Typical White Guy Politicians. I still have some hope for McCain. Romney or Huckabee look pretty good even if McCain is too old.

McCain's just jealous because he didn't receive the same reception from either the foreign countries to which he recently traveled, their citizens, or their leaders. No "rock star" status for Sen. Johnny-Come-Lately.
And just what "experience" has the current WH occupant had? He had plenty of experience RUINING things wherever he went, which is exactly what's happened to this country.
That's what happens when the Supreme Court gives a job to someone folks would "like to have a beer with." NO THANKS, I'LL TAKE A YOUNG GUY WITH BRAINS ANY DAY.

this is a bullish sign for McCain, where are the all the elites supporting NO BAMA? Why do you think Soros is going to short the US $ and long on Oil, because his investment in Obama winning ensures he wins BIG on both bets

The McCain campaign is just pitiful. In 3 weeks they have not talked about the issues, just keep trying to slime the opponent. They have nothing to offer.

I have a Question?????????
Is Obama for legalizing pot? I only ask because of the article about legalizing pot.

PLS. respond.

OSAMA I mean Obama is an idiot. Watch him speak. He has to really try to think of what to say. He was raised as a Muslim in a school in Jakarta.He is not a world leader just a community organizer.He will always be a secret Muslim and a I hate white people person. Go McCain,at least he is a real American and not some phony that will say anything to get in office. Obama sucks.

Britney and Paris? that's the best McBush can come up with? they don't vote!? we need change and fast.. OBAMA

I know you will not post this after you read it but why is MSNBC the only station that is going after McCain and all the garbage he is spewing. I used to really like you CNN but what has happened. McCain looks like and has been talking like he should be in a home with 24 hour care not running for President.

So...and whats wrong with that...you jealous or what?

I find it funny that so many people think Obama is arrogant just because the man has a clear vision. I welcome it. We need a strong leader if anyone was arrogant it is our current President George W Bush his way or the highway that is why we are in such a mess now.

Good one, McCain. Love it!

Obama's just a pop star who looks good but has no substance.

And the silly, fawning media goes along for the ride instead of
doing INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM.

We don't need another unvetted, arrogant president.

Obama is Bush 3.

WOW, it is scary that people would consider voting for this man if this is all his campaign can do.

I really don't think America needs to go from Clinton arrogance to Bush arrogance and now Obama arrogance.

I half expect Obama to change the stars on the flag to little Obama O's any day now.

I wrote Senator McCain when he first started flip-flopping on issues that were near and dear to Bush's heart. I begged him not to become a typical politician. Even though I will cast a vote for Obama, I am very sad to see that McCain has allowed himself to fall into politics as usual. The very people who he once considered vile, and sell-outs, he has become one of them. I still believe that he is too fine of a politician for this. I hope that one day I will see the old McCain again.

Britney and Paris? come on that's the best McBush can come up with, they don't vote!?? America please wake up we need change..

Yes and I can't see why the world celebrates Britney and what's-her-face either. That just shows how low the moral values of the world have shrunk to. BO fits right in there with those two women.

I really hope the media including faux news show this ad, this is just incredibly stupid!

This OLD MAN IS A PATHETIC POS. He is not fit to be Dog catcher let alone POTUS. And I am sick of hearing he is a hero. He lost five planes and the last one got him caught to bad. He thinks Iraq is another Vietnam and he will not lose this one. He has to many psychological issue's, he is not fit to lead.

Obama clearly has a messiah complex!

Arrogant beyond measure!

Truly a scary guy – in the mold of Hitler before he was freely elected as "the change" his country was crying out for.

The Democrats are getting in line to worship at his hem.

As soon as he's elected, he'll want to get rid of the two term limit. What a self serving, greedy, power hungry creep!

Why is CNN continuing to give the McCain campaign attack ads free publicity? Especially without pointing out that they're false?

Would it kill you to cover some real campaign news for a change - such as candidates' positions, and how their claims are true or false? Of course, that would take some actual reporting, which seems to be lacking these days.

Or how about some analysis that the McCain campaign, driven by Karl Rove minions, have nothing real to offer so all they can do is put out these lies?

McCrazy. LMAO

Finally, ads that actually tell the truth - as painful as that must be to the Obama camp!

I can't help but laugh, I kind of find this ad funny. I am a Democrat supporting Obama, but I'm not overly worried about this ad...seems more silly then anything. I think some of the other McCain or RNC ads are money better spent on showcasing McCain or attacking Obama. This is just a waste of money I think.

Why does anyone pay attention to these commercials and ad campaigns? They are all negative and nothing points out the positive in their respective candidate. When are American's going to come to the realization that there is no such thing as a good, whole hearted politician. They are all scheming for an upper hand and they all have a dirty past...

Maybe he should take notes from hillary's campaign....All the attacking isn't giong to work when Americans are concerned with REAL ISSUES. He's falling into the same trap HRC fell into. Just stick to the issues. Wait...All McCain can talk about is the war without an earpeice.

GO OBAMA

Is this what the McCain campaign has stooped to? Using two young people who are mainly famous for their very public problems to help garner votes. Obviously the McCain promoters are not focussing on the main issues America is facing right now. You can't buy personality or common sense both of which seem to be missing in Mc Cain's new strategy.

Do birds of a feather still stick together? Do we still evaluate presidential candidates by the company they keep? Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are real vote catchers with GOP supporting Evangelical leaders! They really stand up for traditional values! James Dobson and co must be dancing with joy! Way to go, McSame! And McCain is aiming for the "values" vote. As my wife comments almost every day, "Just give McSame as much air time as possible, 'cause he'll keep shooting himself in both feet every day!"

The whole world wants a change!!!! NO MORE WARS!!! Out with the old and in with the new! GO OBama!!!

Poor GOP. So angry, so bitter, so jealous! What's the matter guys and gals, dont have anything you can brag about and run on after nearly 8 years. I mean after all...you guys and gals have been feeding from the trough at the taxpayers expense for nearly 8 years now. Not rich enough yet? Oh...this is just the beginning of the "whirlwind". I can see indictments in the future, maybe some prosecutions. Of course we will probably have to fumigate everything you people have touched. I know for certain that some of you are trying to burrow in to some key positions so that you can sabotage the next administrations efforts, however, be aware that you won't make it. Your smell is so loud no right thinking American will be able to ignore you. Just remember this....when the GOP get's what's coming to them...you can blame Barack Obama, the Democrats, or Russia for that matter. But know this, the GOP's death will be because you died by your own hands! All greed, no vision, no conscience. Bye, Bye.

C-
#2
That's exactly why mostly ALL the manufacturing jobs have left America. Why our Auto industry is in the tank.
The Chinese don't mind living on 5 bucks a week. So don't compare their economy to ours!
Americans are spoiled rotten!! Wake up!!

Imagine that, McCain didn't even make the top 3.

We are really up the creek now. Not one good choice for president! It looks like Obama's VP choice will be as big of a dudd as he is.

sounds like someones alittle jealous

OBAMA HEADING FOR THE GOLD. MeCan't Get Nolove is feeling a little be Jealous. Now that he is the step child.

This was a terrible ad that lacked any kind of substantive criticism of Obama's positions. The question of whether or not Senator Obama is ready to lead has been answered by millions of Americans with their unwavering support of his candidacy. If Britney and Paris are the best that McCain and his fellow Bush minions can do, then it's obvious Republicans are nervous about this race and they have nothing to grab onto onto than the fact that the world loves Barack Obama.

John McCain is such a hater. These ads are a waste of money...

What no mention of Oprah?? And she got Obama his celebrity start??

I see the liberals being the ones who are scared, why isn;t Barack Hussain Obama pulling away???? Because he thinks he is above the average person. People can see through him. He is a blow hard.
Typical Liberal.You would need a very big piece of paper to keep track of all the promises he is offering. Mccain is running the worst campain ever and still is neck-n-neck with Barack Hussian Obama.
The extreme left looks like a big crowd because the news props them up.

Polls are not to be trusted either. Because who are they polling in these polls. Women over the age of 50 might explain why the polls are tight!! And Obama already know he has to win over these women and he still is leading rather it is by 6 points or 9. A lead is a lead!!

is the McCain campaign dumb enough to think this will work......or are the American people dumb enough to let this sway them?

Considering Obama's current state of popularity, he is really much more humble than most people would be. Imagine being in his shoes for one second. It's almost impossible to even imagine isn't it? So, before we blow a chance to have someone who can honestly lead us out of the mess we are in, let's take a breath and go for it! He is a good man who could have taken a different path and instead he chose to become a public servant. Finally, someone with some sense is willing to go ahead and run– we should be thankful– I appreciate the fact he is willing to put his self and his family through this craziness known as our political system.

McBush's ad sounds like an idea SNL writers would push around. But it's too desperate to be funny.

....such credible commentators on current affairs....Britney and Paris....the McCain campaign keeps scraping bottom....

If Obama loses the election somehow due to adds like this, America will forever be the laughing stock of the world.

What has become of this nation? What a mess the repubs had made. I have seen far more civilized adds in 3rd world countries than what the GOP is feeding the people of this country. As if what America went through under Bush 2 is not enough, we have to contend with this low life mud sling childish mentality being shoved down our throats.

Get this Repubs, it is not a bad thing to be young, smart and likeable. He is popular worldwide because he actually has substance.
Something you folks would never understand.

I am so tried of this hatred going on in this country, just look what is happening to us, we are first of all losing our salvation with GOD, because he said love one another, we are losing family because we can't take care of them; we are losing homes,cars,food,education,insurance,clothes,apartments,vacation,
pets,jobs and you name it, wake up American before we are doomed.
What is really important to you ? may GOD help us all because there is no repentance in the grave, think about this and repent. I love you all whom every you are.

I would rather take Arrogant over Senility any day... As for the names we call McScam.. well he is all of those and more.. McCain is TOO OLD to be president. He is unfit to be president. His nursewife Cindy has to hold his elbow everytime he walks down stairs and steps.. Just watch ALL the videos!!.

If I were Obama I would not respond with attack ad's, i would instead talk about moving the country forward.

Still NO republican't can tell me where in the U.S. Constitution it says that you have to be "qualified" with "experience" to be President. It has 2 things and 2 only.. 1: 35 or older.. 2: Have been born in the United States...

McCain is way out of his league. It will show during the debates. McCain will no doubt attack Obama for being black. His true colors will shine..

This is a sad day for America. Just look at what the Republicans are spending their contributors' money on. The press stands idly by as Bush and his goons run the country aground. No journalist in the so called mainstream media can summon to courage to confront these blokes of the republican party. Oh, the press cannot dare question them because theymajor corporations that control the media are owned by rich white republican men.

McLame is starting to resemble Shrek! Green and cranky!!

Too many of you saying McCain is not ready to lead.

Saying McCain is not ready to lead is like saying Obama isn't ready giev a speech at a pep rally. C'mon people! What has Obama DONE (not SAID) to give any indication he'll be an effective president???

By the way, another funny thing – has anyone noticed McBush wearing $520 black leather Ferragamo loafers (my loafers cost $3.99). I hear they are made in Italy. Wow. For a "xenophobic patriot", he does not have any problem wearing foreign-made shoes.

The BHO camp just .... oh well. Nice thought though. BHO is just plain not ready and his views will never be ready for the USA.

LROL, Mccain is not only desparate but pathetic as well. Comparing Obama to Britney and Paris Hilton. John you are not only losing your mind but you are so corny!!

Ohhh great!! Now my boy is like Britney and Paris??? What else??? Is Lindsey in there too?? LOL!!!

Nothing less than I would expect from John McCain, the looser, and his advisors. McCain doesn't have anything worthwhile to talk about if he tries to exclude his similar policies to Bush so he resorts to the Republican Party Rove political tactics. So predictable and so sad that McCain has become the man of desperation.

Good job CNN for including the recording of the call with McCain's team. Really good raw information!

My persoanl view is that they sound pretty pathetic....but regardless a good listen.

Jealous ,Jealous, Jealous McCain and his cohorts....desperation and desperate measures ..... to use the old and Dirt y Republican campaign negativity. how low can they go....They will get nowhere with this ..the american people are skilled at detecting evil in this shameful and shameless campaigning.

It really doesn't matter because in the end, the whiner/winner of the Presidential race will be McCain because, as far as we believe we have come in race relations, the fact remains that once people get into the voting booth they will revert to asking themselves, "Do I really want a BLACK MAN as President?" and they will vote accordingly.

Case in point: All you need to do is look at the political map of red states and blue states. It wouldn't make a difference if the man was Jesus himself. If he is black, he will not get elected.

McCain is just plain old jealous of Obama!

Repubs definitely running scare! Their real threat, it's McSame.

hey CNN, stop giving John McCain free advertising.

I am not surprised, the democratic party
might have been successful with the help of CNN in getting Obama the
nomination, but that is not an election victory by a long shot.
Hilary Clinton was right, when the time comes to compete in the general
election the republican will not be as soft on Obama as the Clinton were
forced to be, and all of Obama inexperience and weakness will be exposed.
We had a strong and experienced candidate in Hilary with a huge lead over the republican and internal democratic politics undid all that.
Say hello to Mc Cain the next president of the USA and 4 more years of war and deficit.

BIGGEST CELEBRITY IN THE WORLD! YEAH BABY!

The only coverage McBush can get is if he whines like Gramm says American are ....McBush the leader of whinners in the GOP.

McCain is mad that no one is paying him any attention and attempting to put the blame on someone else other the he and Bush.

That group Bush/McCain is solemly responsible for most of everything that is wrong in America.

Oh, yea let's blame Obama because people like him and knows he's best for us now.

The high gas prices, foreclosure, economy is Bushs' fault.

Obama is a STAR

Obama is NOT ready to lead, but he is ready to be a puppet for Pelosi and company. Socialism you can believe in!!! Regulations you can believe in!!! Taxes you can believe in!!! Affirmative action we can believe in!!! Is Obama gonna buy the world a coke? I heard he has a good source for coke.

PARIS HILTON HAS ACTUALLY SUCESSFULLY RUN A LARGE COMPANY. BRITTANY PERSONAL LIFE IN SHAMBLES BUT PROFESSIONALLY VERY SUCESSFUL. OBAMA HASNT RUN ANYTHING!

Great ad, McCain folks! Comparing Obama to two bimbos is ON TARGET! and highlighting crowds roaring "Obama!!" great way to show how Obama "doesn't get it." Can a campaign staff get any more incompetent??

Okay, if this were a "negative" attack how come it is stating fact? A negative attack implies something that is an untruth or close to an untruth, this isn't either one. Obama has voted against opening our own oil resources and instead wants to import more oil. He DOES want to raise taxes, I am retired military and I do not want to pay more in taxes, I do want a responsible government that will allow expansion of our own natural resources. I would also like to see both candidates embrace the wind farm plan that would stretch from Canada to Mexico. It is a wind of change but Obama isn't the answer, the only wind he is blowing is coming from the wrong end.

Replace Lindsay Lohan with Obama ... and the trio makes more sense. You don't put two trainwreck girls in with a very upstanding figure.

Or you should have Tiger Woods, Beckham, and Obama ... that makes sense.

Americans, what are you waiting for? For those of you who are undecided, Obama is best choice, he understands your pain. McCain doesn't get it hiding behined his millions and his wife's millions. Go Obama!!!

No Hillary! NOOOOOOOOOOOO Barack HUSSEIN Obama!

McCain keeps bringing up the past. Why is no one bringing up his REAL past. Anyone remember the "Keating 5"? McCain is honorable. phhht.

This shows how out of touch he is, Britney is so last year.

I think he meant to say the "biggest idiot in the world"

Now, it is time for Obama to go after this guy, he's just getting better and better everyday, Now Obama needs to to prvove that Maccain is a war monger, yes he has authorized for the war in Iraq which means he's responsible for the biggest forign policy blunder and for all the deaths and suffering of iraqies civilians and american soldier, and besides he's been flip flopping on every issue, Obama now its time to kick Maccain butt.

SO....the Democratic Nominee is a confident, articulate, intelligent man who is popular nd engenders excitement abroad. Why exactly is this a problem?

YES..He is a celebrity to the rest of the world. WHY you ask? Three simple reason:
1) He represents a FRESH start for THE WORLD. George Bush has made a HUGE MESS of the world and 80% of the world can not wait until he is gone.
2) He represent a degree of intelligence the our current president surely lacks.
3) He has a style about him that give people a sense that he won't be rash in his reactions to the unexpected. Like the way our current President threw out many of our civil liberties and crapped on our Constitution whenever he felt " he was protecting America". He never could grasp the fact that if you destroy what makes America a great nation while trying to protect it; it is NO LONGER the great nation everyone respects.

These Repugs are just nasty twisted "bitter" little people. Unfortunatly we are stuck with them. I am realyy tired of teir viscious small minds.

Wow. Guess the desperation level is now official.

I had some high hopes that these were finally two candidates who woulnd't resort to this kind of complete nonsense.

Wonder if Obama will follow suit... Sigh...

Poor Austin and Allan...if for no other reason than to make you furious, I hope he wins...

I'm so amazed. McCain and his colleagues are jealous. Geez.

He (McCain) has absolutely nothing else to do, but whine.

Barack has been such a gentleman thru all of this.

Make sure wish Barack a happiest birthday AUGUST 4th. We are having a celebration in our town!

And Cindy says he wears her out.....yeah right.

Obama 08

Wow. What a bad idea this ad is. Lots of people love Britney Spears LOL!

Why is McCain wasting his few advertising dolars reminding people of what a rock star his opponent is?

In all due respects to McCain, being a prisoner of war and serving in the Congress for almost thirty years doesn't make one a "leader." It is judgment and McBushism.......well we have had enough of that. With almost 432 billion in debt, another McClone of the Bush administration can only produce the same results.

Typical Republican spin machine at work with negative campaign tactics. So representative of the last 8 years of no true leadership, no long term vision that address our country's problems. Just preaching fear to the electorate while pandering to rich cronies.

John McCain is a war hero and has been a commendable public servant. He should be applauded for that. But when it comes to leadership, John McCain is about as inspiring as a can of corn.

When Bill Clinton ran for president in 1992, what made a big impression on me was the fact that he met with foreign leaders, too, in an effort to show that his limited experience was not limiting to him. BUT, he met with the leaders privately and in a dignified manner, not before crowds riled up before a free concert.

And with all the comparisons I doubt VERY seriously John Kennedy would have done the same.

The more of a "celebrity" he becomes, the harder it is for me to take him seriously.

What a cheap shot!!!!

What a pompous presumptive person.. He could at least wait until he is appointed Leader in Germany –
His speech there as a “private citizen” was a joke – he trotted out his goat header dad and his mothers middle American experience.. are people buying this tripe? Change? I do not like a lot of what John McCain stands for, but at least he is not a dirty pol like BHO...

Right on!

The arrogant, pretender Obama is a one-trick pony with a one-act drama that prioritizes and showcases the American idol of the moment! He is simply a slick character in a photo op.

It is all about political expediency and not about America or Americans at all. Obama is now overexposed which highlights his negatives of no morale center, no core values, no judgment. He really lacks character and integrity!

McCain 08 – the clear choice! He is the American hero with character, integrity, wisdom, knowledge, experience and the gravitas to be president of the USA!

Obama is becoming just as unpopular as Britney and Paris, too!

Negative attacks won't do you any good if elected, McSame.

Keep the attack ads coming, Republicans!!

The entire Republican brand is now so toxic after 8 years of Dumbya
that they won't be able to get a dogcatcher elected this fall.

This former Republican is now voting for Obama. This country needs change and we need Obama. I was fro John McCain who used to be a Maverick but he is not the same candidate he was in 2000. I don’t trust him anymore. The straw that broke the camels back was his promise not to run negative ads. Out of his own mouth, he promised to run a clean campaign and then runs the most distasteful ads full of lies. I don't trust him anymore. Now voting for Senator Obama.

Anyone who would give credit to anything Britney or Paris have to say is just as crazy as they are. And quite frankly, having both of them in McCain's ad makes him appear desperate.

If by "leadership", McCain thinks that our solution to the oil chronic
oil shortage is to drill for a dwindling resource that cannot be replenished; then I think I am willing to reject the conservative
"wisdom" that will not (cannot) seem to grasp the need for developing
alternatives rapidly.

When oil giants like T. Boone Pickens speak, then even the knot-heads like McCain need to concede that the emphasis needs to be put elsewhere even if it is more expensive.

In the short run . . . I am willing to pay more $ here for less blood
in McCain's Iraqi playground.

i hate McShame!!!

John Mc Cain : No message, no plan, except go on with Bush policies.

In his last speech he mentioned Obama 52 times....quite telling

How immature, childish McCain's ads have become lately...is this the man you want to lead the country??

McCain is turning into negative Hillary!!!!!

McCain and his camp needs to work on something other than these ridiculous attacks regarding his popularity. We cannot fault him for his natural charm. However, he is A VERY INTELLIGENT INDIVIDUAL that truly cares for other people. I truly feel that he will do all that he can to make things better for the all of us.

This ad is exactly why Barack Obama is ahead in the polls. We are all so very tired of the Bush-Rove era of slime. Any independents that might have leaned toward McCain have been sent straight to Obama.

Yeah, Obama is so squeaky clean. No negative stuff for him....NOW. Apparently he's only interested in slinging his fellow demotwits Hillary and Bill through the mud. Yeah, loyal guy.

That's the kind of change attitude I'd expect from someone who'd only been a United States Senator for 143 days. Oh I forgot to mention all the valuable lessions he learned from being a 'community organizer' whatever that is. Yeah, he's experienced in making the 'tough' decisions, like who he should ask for help in his political career....Bill Ayers? Sure that's a great choice! Obama is a sham backed by the radical left. Cut the puppet strings and vote for anybody BUT Obama.

Wow some of your comments are down right hateful, I'm glad you HATERS are venting here instead of standing on top of the clock tower with a sniper rifle.

Barack Obama is not only running for president he is changing the way we see ourselves as Americans. There is something bigger happening here...it's not about Barack Obama, it's about us!

DX in TX

If Hillary had been nominated she would be way out ahead of McCain and not nose and nose like Obama. It will get worse after he picks his boring, no experiece, typical white guy politician for VP. Change you can believe in? Looks like the same ole same, ole. Obama is afraid of having Clinton as his VP. He wants someone who will look less qualified for president than himself and he is having to work really hard to find someone--anyone who could be less qualified for president than himself. If the people he hung with are any indication of his judgement then I would have to say he has no judgement or experience. What else is there. Empty suit? This joker couldn't even do the job he was elected to. Never held one meeting on Afganistan. At least Clinton worked at doing the job she was elected for. Too bad we can't say the same for Obama.

4 negative attack ads in a row, McCain.

I guess you flip-flopped on a positive campaign along with the other 70+ issues.

Oabam 08'

McCain's ads make it clear. McCain is a senile, lying sack of.., a man of no honor. He is not fit to be a Senator, let alone president.

He's such a joke I'd laugh him off if the stakes weren't so high. McCain is dangerous to my financial security, he is dangerous to US interests around the globe.

I used to like McCain but he's turned out to be the biggest flip flopper yet. He was a maverick, now he's in the back pockets of the neocons, the religious right and the Bush incompetents. He said he'd avoid dirty campaigning, yet here it is in full view. McCain admits to be weak on economics; he accuses Obama of being weak on security and foreign policy. Well, weak economies make for weak security and weak policies, including foreign ones, so I'd rather Obama's " inexperience" over McCain's old ideas, old age and old ways.

Desperate McSame, goes after "trash" to promote his popularity. As we know, McSame likes 'em young. He can't jumpstart himself!

This is just low....but what do you expect from a very desperate super old remake of our current leader!!!

I don't watch polls or believe in them – when it comes to the day of voting the American people in the privacy of the voting booth will make their choice.

McCain is paying money for ads that hold no substance and try to highlight Obama as a celebrity? Strange, the American people were in love with our biggest celebrity president JFK so maybe a popular President is something this country is in need of.

I also like how McCain is flip flopping more than a fish out of water! suddenly he's all about off shore drilling? hmmm – Lets face it, when was the last time we saw a crowd in a foreign country waving the American flag, without it being on fire?

Roll on November – it's about time this country had a new direction to follow.

Idea for next McCain ad: try calling Obama a "butthead." That's sure to get people to think you'll make a better President, by golly.

Even if Obama becomes our next president and stinks I will still be happier than if McCain wins. My support for Obama grows stronger and stronger with each racially motivated 'chain' email that is fwded to me by people I know. You know, the flag-pin wearing, God bless the U.S.A. car-magnet using, "if you don't like things here go back home" shouting types .

As if that is not enough this morning on the tv news stations the words I heard too often regarding BHO were "hubris" and "arrogance."

Excuse me.
Howz about some real news.
As in Karl Rove being voted in contempt of Congress?

What is really with you guys at CNN? Do you really think that the Republicans are NOT feeding you this garbage to splash all over the internet and headlines? Garbage in, garbage out.

McCain said he knows how to win wars...meanwhile he was shot down in the only war that he was involved. A failure as a student, a failure as a airforce pilot, a failure as a husband and will definately fail as a president.

Sour grapes.....Mc -the -same once said...

Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iraq
Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iraq
Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iraq
Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iraq
Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Bomb Iraq.

Obama said continues to say,
Reach out to every body including your enemies
Reach out to every body including your enemies
Reach out to every body including your enemies

Obama for LIFE

McCain is starting to steal bits of Obama's speach to the DNC – IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION – AT HIS TOWN HALL MEETING IN AURORA, CO HE SAID – THIS HAS ALL GOT TO DO WITH NOT BEING REPUBLICANS, NOT BEING DEMOCRATES BUT BEING AMERICANS…"

This is an indirect knock off of Obamas speech stating we were The United States of America.

McCain can't even write and original speech, how can he run a country?

I am so sick of hillary supporters saying they are going to vote for McCain then so be it if they feel another 4 years of bush tatics is how they can survive then let it rip I mean poor people know how to make do those who are not use to it will suffer. hillary was ok but to put your future out the window is stupid. So here's to you.

DITTO I WOULDNT WANT BRITNEY OR PARIS RUNNING ANYTHING.AND THEY ARE MORE SUCESSFUL THAN OBAMA.

McCain is so lame! How about focusing on making himself look better to the world?

This is a JOKE!!!!!!!! John McCain and his staff and advisors are delusional. McCain looks ignorant with these constant attacks on Obama and ALL OF YOU MCCAIN FANS HAVE GOT TO ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS REALLY THE PERSON YOU WANT TO RUN OUR COUNTRY??????????
INSTEAD OF TELLIING US WHAT HE WILL DO FOR OUR ECONOMY STRUGGLES, HE IS JUST IN THIS ATTACK MODE THAT ARE PROVING TO BE FALSE ATTCKS AND HIS FACTS ARE BEING PROVEN TO BE WRONG AND THE MAN IS PROVING TO BE A BIGG FAT JOKE.
MCSAME has indicate that Obama will raise taxes but will not include that he will raise taxes on people with incomes of 250,000.00 or more and over the past 2 weeks McCain has been taped indicating that McCain will be raising taxes on everybody. THE WHOLE MCCAIN/MCSAME COMPOUND IS DELUSIONAL . THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO HERE ABOUT THESE FALSE ATTACKS. MCCAIN, GET BACK ON POINT AND TRY TO RUN A DECENT AND FAIR CAMPAIGN................

SIGN,
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

McCain is starting to steal bits of Obama's speach to the DNC – IS ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION – AT HIS TOWN HALL MEETING IN AURORA, CO HE SAID – THIS HAS ALL GOT TO DO WITH NOT BEING REPUBLICANS, NOT BEING DEMOCRATES BUT BEING AMERICANS..."

This is an indirect knock off of Obamas speech stating we were The United States of America.

McCain can't even write and original speech, how can he run a country?

Does anyone really believe that a first time US senator who has spent more that half of his first term out on the campaign trail is ready to be the commander in chief?

We must look deep inside ourselves to really understand the problems in America. Immigration (uh, NAFTA), the deficit (uh, CHINA), etc.

Americans all want to be wealthy without sacrifice and work. Shame on us all.

Don't vote for Obama, he's not ready. They were telling him to run at the last DNC. He says the right stuff, but can't back it up!

Wow! From the respone I'm reading the truth really hurts. The McCain campaign hit the nail on the head.

Whats even more hilarious is that some people will actually believe this drivel.

Lets not give Obama a chance for 4 years but vote McCain in to finish the stellar job started in the first 7.

That was sarcasm there people.

I also laugh at the people who are voting against Obama. Last I checked you vote for someone, never saw an 'against' vote on a ballot.

For the voters who plan to write in Hillary. You're wasting your time. Do share your experience on the night of Nov 8th with the voting machine and your 'write in' campaign.

America doesn't need an "Older Gent" who isn't aware of what the internet is and what it can do, or what it's like to live without health insurance, or the fear that one feels when they are unemployed with a
family to support. I equate the youth and idealism of Obama of the Clinton/Gore administration. We need youth
idealism, bipartisanship and time to heal after this current President/Joker leaves the White House!! God Bless Obama and the
great USA. Wake up people, this country is hurting, we need help!! OBAMA IS THE ANSWER!!!

Obama is a closet muslim. I can't believe that there are so many americans who are actually dumb enough to think that he can lead this country to greatness. Obama is a media-made phenom. Nothing that he's ever done or achieved has earned him the type of hysteria that surrounds this moron. Take the blinder off fellow americans and see through this phony. He's not really the second coming of Jesus as you all are lead to believe ... he's more like the second coming of Jimmy Carter.

I have been really offended by some of the comments on here. Especially the black gentleman , with all the Negro comments. No one is second guessing Obamas intellegence or his accrediations schoolasticly? I do however find his positions change to suit the political moment, and that is disturbing. He has flip flopped on more issues than McCain, by far. I personally have just had it with my old party. I have changed to indpendent and am not voting for obama or mccain. I am voting for HC because she is the BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB.

Obama is an incompetent idiot. 143 days in the Senate or being a "community organizer" does not qualify you to be president.
No ideas, just an empty suit.

Only Republicans would consider this a hard hitting comercial.
As Kermit would say, It ain't easy being green, with jealousy that is.

What's next McCain picking on his kids?

It is not surprising that John McCanin would focus his whole campaign on negative, cynical rebukes of Obama, Unfortunately after dealing with the elderly for many years this is the pattern that a certain percentage of them fall into and he's just showing his age!!!

John McCain is a disgrace to the Republican party! He sounds like an old, mad, jealous do anything to win man. Can someone from CNN please tell him to focus on the issues for Americans instead of attack, attack, attack all the time. That seems like all he is good for. I don't know any of his plans to get Americans out of what his friend Pres. Bush put is in!

What a sad candidate. I expected a little more dignity from John McCain... I guess I'll never see it.

Let's face it people....

McCain can't fill a room to save his life, he puts you to sleep with his rhetorical bullcrap, he obviously got F's in Geography (if he went to college at all.) his negative/untruthful attacks on Obama reek of desperation.

Since he's decided not to "rise above" the fray...let's now talk about how he left his dying wife for Cindy, how he was suicidal and let's also not forget his anger management issues....

why would anyone support this man?

Vote for Obama only if you need welfare and free handouts from the govt.Also if you like the idea of speaking spanish Obama says all americans should learn spanish.Also if you like not having guns.He is going to make concealed permits gone.But of course we dont need our guns Obama the mesiah will take care of us.Wy dont you read about marxism.Obama will be a faliure and will sign more new laws than any president ever.He is the best car salesman that ever lived.I WOULD RATHER HAVE A LIFETIME OF BUSH THAN ONE TERM OF THE SOCIALIST OBAMA.I hope the 54,000,000 real Americans show up like they did in 04.

When did Britney and Paris become so popular? Maybe 5 years ago.

They are so yesterday. I guess McCain is also.

The Republicans will not scare us this year. We'll not blink, our minds are made up and it's time the REPUBLICANS PACK UP AND START LEAVING. This is the year for Democrats. NO MORE BUSH, NO MORE JOHN MCCAIN, NO TO THE REPUBLICANS AND THEIR SCARE TACTICS!!!

OBAMA WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Signed,

WB, age 23

This is McCain's political strategy? Just attack the other candidate and his views and goals, instead of telling us what you're going to do for this country? McCain, we all know that you want to win. But you're not giving us any reason to think you'll do a better job than your predecessor has. Keep trashing your opponent. Obama's strength, tact, love of this country, desire for change and his ability to fight the fair fight will win him the Presidency.

Obama2008

don't worry about the real issues – repeat after me:
Brittany, Paris, Oprah, American Idol, Obama.......

Folks it is NOT a TV show – there are real problems out there!

And all we have to choose between is more Bush policies and an Empty Suit. Look what happened last time a movie star (Reagan) got into office.

Excellent coverage of the issues, Senator McCain.
It's ads like this that will push swing voters to Obama. He desperately needs a new marketing team.

There is nothing false or misleading about the ad from what the article states. Obama failed in his visit to General Petraeus and the troops in OIF/OEF. Obama gave lip service to some other national leaders ... and they gave lip service back. Obama is out of his league; no wonder his poll numbers are shaky and Senator McCain's support is firm. McCain can only move up. Notable too is the spit and vinegar coming from angry Obama supporters; they are more finite than they thought and some have actually come to that realization. With a secure Iraq and Afghanistan within sight, those of us who were a part of those successes certainly deserve better than fifth columnists like Obama and an all star cast of like minded people in his proposed administration who spent the last few years undermining our efforts. Likewise, we all deserve better than highly taxed foreign oil, with no efforts to increase domestic production of oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear and alternative energy as proposed by Senator McCain. Perhaps Americans have heard enough of Obama and his bewildering prophesies of an Obama heaven on Earth.

I kinda wish McCain would use his limited resources to build a campaign of his own. His economic policy and his commitment to the war are totally inconsistent. He has admitted that he might have to raise taxes. The only "solution" he ever offers is to "wasteful" spending.

As any freshman econ major realizes, raising taxes, cutting domestic spending and continuing to run a deficit to fund the war will grind the economy to a screaching halt and would amount to a DEPRESSION, not a recession.

Obama is the only choice we have. McCain doesn't even understand the consequences of the promises he makes.

CNN would you be more objective with your reporting. The best political news is now received at Huffingtonpost.com. You let McCain's campaign get away with all this nonsense,please hold him accountable for this BS.

35 Million Canadians for Obama

Well, since they already closed the comments on the Offshore Oil Drilling blog, I'll post here...

To everyone that wants to start drilling for oil off our coast, let me ask a question. What makes you think the oil companies are just going to start drilling? Are we going to put a gun to their heads and demand that they start? They've got a pretty sweet deal going right now. As long as they keep supplies low, they can keep charging whatever they want. And what happens decades from now when our children's or grandchildren's generation finally does run out of oil and there is no where left to drill? We need to solve this energy problem now. Not leave it for future generations to figure out.

Let see John McCain wants to get young people to vote for him, so he enlists a debutante who is famous for being a slacker and starring in her infamous "One Night In Paris" video and BrittneySpears, who knows a little something about going "commando", being "institutionalized" driving without an license and being an unfit mother!

Gotta love these young republican future leaders.

Read somewhere on the internet that John McCain might be suffering from PTSD If this is true; why why is he still contesting?.

Obama is as bad as everyone says he is. Telling the truth,is not being negative.....its being informative,people. Tell me something that isn't true about Obama,that is positive,besides his ability to blow sunshine up everyone's posterior. He is the most liberal Senator in the Senate,according to all to the Senate. He has no experience! He is still in his first term as Senator and already has a reputation! Thats a fact! Everyone can't be wrong! Obama and his racists 20 year friendships,with the Rev Wright,Father Pfleger,and Bill Ayers,has a lot to do with Obama's situation of not being able to garner voters. Obama's past has simply done him in,before he ever got started. You may willing to excuse him of his bad judgement,but most do not!

So, I don't understand... mccain is trying to get us to not like obama by picking the dumbest celebrities he could find? How does that work?

Yea Austin.. America is gonna become a thirld world country because of Obama... what stupid rock did you come out from? OH wait, you're from Texas! Enjoy the rest of your life with ur neighbour Bush...

Very good point. Many people are brainwashed by celebrity and cannot see past all the hype. Underneath all the fluff and hype, he is someone who really has not accomplished anything and is more inexperienced than even GW Bush was when he became president. Now, do we really want all that again?

The repugnants with the white hoods on are out in force today because the rnc paid them all today and ordered them to blog, but they forgot to take them hoods off WOW

KEEP THE HIGH GROUND SENATOR OBAMA.
YES WE CAN.
YYES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looove the ad!

Thank God people are starting to wake up!

Thank you Barack, Michelle and MSM, but I already have a savior in Jesus Christ!

–rd84

McCain is a flaming idiot. This is just more proof.

The GOP nailed this one. He is the biggest celebrity in the world.

But does that make him right for the presidency?

Does John MCCain really think Paris Hilton and Bitney Spears are the world's biggest celebrites?

Ken and any other Clinton Supporters this statement is for you all.

There will be NO Obama/Clinton ticket. So, please stop dreaming. It'll NEVER happen. Barack doesn't need Clinton to win this election; if anything she'd help Barack Lose this election (too much baggage/B. Clinton).

So, if your intentions are to vote for McSame, then good for you. Should McSame win, you'd have no one to blame but yourself when you're homeless, jobless, defenseless, etc. (as Ohio and Florida are because they tipped the scale for Bush). You people never learn do you???

Looking a gift-horse in the mouth.

Barack is a leader!!!!

Go Barack Go!!

JoHN McCain need to start focusing on himself rather than obama, maybe if he spent more time talking about what he WOULD do and Obama wouldnt do he would A: be higher in the polls and get a little more air time, being negative lost hillary the main spot, he should leran from history, he has seen enough of it.

So, how much did the McCain campaign pay Paris Hilton and Britney Spears to use their images in the ad? These girls sell their images, you know.

When I read the title of the article I was afraid that Brit and Paris were coming out for Obama. Thank goodness that they are aginst Obama as the advertisement, even with it’s negative message, will certainly help Obama.

This ad is accurate – Obama is acting like a celebrity, trying to win this with an international popularity contest. He's won nothing, has done NOTHING for this country.

(If the rest of the world likes him, it's because he will WEAKEN AMERICA!!!)

Doesn't have a good reason why he doesn't want offshore drilling.

Obama actually seems like a dummy with Ted Kennedy,John Kerry, and Dean pulling the puppet strings...

Please, elect a leader who places America's interests first!!!

Paris and Britney the two biggest celebrities in the world outside of Obama... Um... Paging John McCain's sense of reason... hello... are you there...?

John McCain just had a town hall meeting yesterday in NV.

It was absolutely pathetic. All this guy says is "my friends I know how to fix that" but then he gives not even the slightiest solutions to the problem he was asked about.

Wake up America! Not again, not again!

YES WE CAN!

McCain must REALLY be jealous. Reminds me of some of the "children" I teach in school...they don't like the child that has more than them, hence, make fun of them. PATHETIC...that is how McCain is acting now.

Note to McCain: Obama has more leadership in his little finger than you and your entire lobbying staff have or will ever have.

McCain is not an underdog..he is an underachiever...just like Bush

Monty Burns, Father Time... John McCain? He is the grumpiest old man in the world... does he have the energy or soundness of mind to lead a nation??

Karl Rove continues to run the Republican Party.

It seems every time we let out the reigns a little on one of these house boys, they suddenly start feeling free. I never seen such arrogance. Does he honestly think people love him the way the media is portraying? He should really get back in his place. Really.

THese lame ads from the McCain campaign already shows us how stupid he is and also how unorganized his campaign is. DOesn't this tell us how he is going to run the White House if he is elected?

BTW, what is wrong with a president being popular????? Can someone answer that question?

It's sad really, McCain seems to forget his positions often on the campaign trail waffeling on oil drilling, taxes, Iraq, etc. But to go back on a promise to run a clean campaign without going negative, that's just pathetic. I'm tired of the McCain campaign forgeting their candidates morals when clearly he's too old to remember what they are.

Allan..good to see they have computers in the backwoods of the south.

The latest Gallup poll shows McCain up by 4 percentage point for likely voters. That's right .... McCain is in the lead as of right now and will not look back until the elections in Nov when it is announced that he will be the next US President. Obama is a socialist who want to control Americans and raise taxes across the board. Not exactly what our struggling economy needs at the moment.

McCain in 08!

Yet Another Dumb Tactic By John McCain And His Campaign Group. Pay Ignorance No Mind. And This Stunt Will Get Just That.

Sorry McCain...offshore drilling will not help lower gas prices and anyone who think it will is not in their right mind.

What will help lower gas prices? Not using it. Having enough vision and leadership to say no more. We need solar, electric and hydrogen.

We need a leader that inspires not just talks tough and bad moths others. The president's job isn't to make all of the decisions himself. It's his job to make job judgement, surround himself with good people and inspire them and the country to progress.

Republicans like to surround themselves with crooks and spoiled babies who out CIA agents if they don't get their way. They surround themselves with lobbyists and oil mongers, liars and cheats that take from the American People. Democrats aren't innocent either but Obama is a symbol for change and regardless of your party America needs that.

72% of the medias coverage of Obama is negative yet the McCain camp wants to call him a celebrity? hmmm... John McCain asks if Obama is ready to lead while Obama stands infront of 200,000 Germans with American flags...John McCain says Obama has no substance while McCain only attacks Obama, no solution no policy only ATTACKS.....John McCain cries because Obama gets more attention...well if the Media scrutinized Mccain as they do Obama, then perhaps America would know more about ALL of the lobbyist running McCain's campaign including Charlie Black who is still on his Lobby's pay roll....McCain now wants off shore drilling (which will NOT help) only after Big Oil gave him Millions of dollars...McCain is counting on American prejudice and stupidity....JUST LIKE BUSH

Senator Obama drops facts after facts, while Senator McCain drops fale ads left and right.
I hope that in one of the debates, advertising and Fact Checks comes up as an important piece.
I thought that I'd at least appreciate his candidacy, but geez (no pun on geezer), he's just taking everything way out of context.

Good to know that Team McCain is willing to promote the fact that Obma is well regarded around the world.
1) the US is certainly not seen that way right now and we're hoping under Obama that we can regain prominence
2) McCain had a tour similar to Obama back in March and quite frankly, he was underwhelming.

So, here's to Senator Obama. The world does want you because with all of your ideas to help the world, as opposed to surging more troops into an unjust war.

There are just so many things wrong with Susan's post, I don't even know where to begin

Ahhhh...isn't McCain jealous of Obama's popularity, he has to resort to name calling.

Americans preach EQUALITY, Justice and many other things to the world but at home?

Many here make noise because Obama is half black/half white. What kind of JUSTICE and Equality these Americans, specially, republicans preach to the rest of the world?

McCain talk nothing about the 462 billion deficit or the rising gas prices. Cheap propaganda against Obama shows Mccain too a cheap man for nothing!

I guess Mr. McCain must have forgot that Ronald Reagan was a celebrity too... Hmm...

He is the biggest Celebrity in the world, what is the point of this article and why is the McCain campaign wasting money telling people what they already know? Put a cork in it, they are just jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Based on the current news, go ahead GOPS, your guy from Alaska is nothing to boast about. At least Obama is not a shameful person like Bush, Rove, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld!

We are proud of Obama representing America, so all the Sean Hannitys out there, please SHUT UP!

Wow. I just hope the press can turn on McFlipFlop and all his ever changing positions.
Then he'll start crying why they are focusing on him and not Obama.
You lost it McCain.

I think it's all about planting a seed. McCain's camp wants to plant a seed of doubt in people's minds, even if people scoff at first. It gets the thought in their head. He's reinforcing the sentiments of many who don't believe in Obama, hoping to spread the doubt.

If you look at the polls that include Bob Barr and Ralph Nader, you'll see that Obama's lead over McCain widens considerably. IMHO McCain's misleading attack ads work with a small percentage of uneducated rural voters who are biased against minorities and city slickers, but instead of driving all these voters to McCain, the majority are turning to Barr and Nader.

So, by attacking Obama and without any issues in the ad to support McCain, biased voters are turning to Barr and Nader instead of McCain.

McCain is spinning his wheels because he's getting more voters to vote for Barr and Nader than himself. It's called blowback and after 7 years of supporting Bush's policies, McCain should be more experienced in blowback. But apparently McCain does not learn from his mistakes or history and that's why experience does not create leadership. You need intelligence to anticipate events as they unfold or all the experience in the world won't help. Obama has the intelligence to lead this country, McCain doesn't have the brains to run a lemonade stand.

How can this be considered an "attack ad" ? The truth is the truth. Obama has been pushed and promoted by the media as a celebrity not a politician. He has huge rallys, that the media covers extensively, but no substance. I am surprised they haven't announced their reality show "The Audacity of Obama" coming soon to MTV.

Guess I have to get nasty now. At least with Obama he will be busy at work in the Oval Office instead of checking for new cancer at the doctor's office. McCain, you made me go there.

Is this the best that all the lobbyist on McCain's staff can come up with. They are not worth whatever he is paying them.

Now I've heard it all. McCain should just retire and enjoy his wife's wealth.

It's not negative if it's true is it? Nope, it's called truth that hurts. McCain should do an ad about how Obama cancelled his visit to wounded troops to go work-out at the Ritz because he wasn't allowed to bring his media circus in with him for some MORE photo-ops to shock and awe his congregation at home.

McCain (or anybody but Obama) 08!!!

typical conservative campaign of mis-information..rather than deal with the truth, conservatives prefer to lie..sad thing is, voters are wither too dumb, lazy or apathetic to call them on it..I see the same tactics at our local and state levels

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you don't hear anything coming out of the Obama camp that attacks McCain just for fun, do you? I think it's really sad that all Grandpa John can come up with is how Obama is bad. I'm proud of Barack & Co. for taking the high road and selling the people on what HE can do instead of telling us we're too stupid to see what his opponnent can't do.

I used to have great sympathy and respect for Mr. McCain – but those feelings disappear more and more lately. Doesn't he realize how fast such feelings can fade when looking at, and hearing an old man, being mean and just desperate sounding. Most of his adds do not even make sens. What is Mr. Obama supposed to have in commun with a Britney or Paris ? As I said, the man doesn't even make sens anymore.

This wil never work. I am so glad that we have at least one candidate that would like to stick to the issues and not the dirty tactics. I am another one that would like to know what are McSame's views on the economy, just to name a few. Oh, I see, you don't have any views...

Obama '08

Obama's image is a figment of people's imagination – wanting him to be the great agent of change – why are people so gullible? Obama is as power hungry as they come with a dose of entitled arrogance.

Mccain!!!Mccain!!!Mccain!!!!
What you need to be doing is telling people what you can do, not what the other candidate cannot do. How can you blame Obama for high gas prices when there is a Republican President in Office?? Shame on you.... Wasnt it the first Bush that signed that into place to begin with? Why dont you tell us why we need to vote for you instead of telling us why we shouldnt vote for OBAMA... It seems as though you are afraid of the competition... Word of advise....
BE VERY AFRAID BECAUSE CHANGE IS COMING.

Come on McCain camp, your disillusioned supporters are waiting for substance! Why are you so fixated on/obsessed with Sen. Obama? Are you in love with this man and showing it in a twisted way? This attack ad will only attract those who are 1) comfortable with the bizarre status quo, or 2) in a state of oblivion. Not only does it show how fragile your backbone is but also how devoid you are of smart ideas in comparison to Senator Obama’s focused campaign strategy which BARELY ACKNOWLEDGES YOUR EXISTENCE as it presses on with important issues.

Is it wise to bring up Paris Hilton when you're married to Cindy McCain, a wealthy blond heiress with a drug addiction?

Who in the world would be swayed by the likes of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton...do they even know who Barack Obama is or were cards held up in front of them and they read them for a fee?

WHAT IF OBAMA CAMP START COMPARING MCCAIN TO OLD PEOPLE IN NURSING HOMES.

Britney might actually run a better campaign than John McCain

Has this guy lost all self respect to be slinging mud like this?

The more critical question in my mind is, why hasn't John McCain opened a lead? He has had ample opportunity since before the end of the Democratic primaries. If the Republican party is so convinced that these attacks are relevant, why hasn't any of this resulted in a megalead for John McCain?

It is unfortunate that the GOP cannot address substative issues.
Clearly the presumptive GOP candidate does not have much to offer. If in fact he did, there wouldn't be such concern regarding Obama's appeal.

Thanks McCain and Company for letting us not forget the Rev. Wright's –Bill Ayers-Religion and Guns-and the Elitest attiitude-
Some sensitive people do not want a God to idealize in office-only in Church-
God Bless America

My name is Barak Osama...er...Obama...and I have no experience. I have accomplished nothing in national politics, but I shur talk purty...so uh....vote for me!

Bunch of stupid democrats in the world.

Yes We Can.

How JUVENILE!! And, you have people wanting this person(mccain) as our COMMANDERING CHIEF!! Wake up you LISA's...This is just stupid and wasteful of money,energy and time!! My twenty one (21) year old has more substance then mccain...I would entrust her to lead me then him. I am so sick and tired of the idiotic negative attacks. Can't wait until November to put McCain and his pathetic followers out of their misery.

OBAMA '08

Is Obama ready to lead? Yes. Is McCain totally desperate? Obviously.

This is the most ridiculous political ad I've ever seen. It lacks intelligence, sophistication and any sort of decency. So much for McCain's promise to run a respectful campaign...

I heard Obama Defeated Poverty with one of his speeches....

Have anyone noticed how CNN has sugarcoated this ad? McCain is out with a new hard hitting ad. What happened to McCain is out with a new attack ad?

You people make me not want to vote for Obama.

McDumb thinks Americans 're so dumb to believe all this trash...please think again..you will lose in landslide...

2004 Americans got scared and voted for Bush. Should I go on.

Yippee!!! How on earth can the 'bamabots see this as a negative? I think they must only wear "negative" eyewear. It is hilarious!! I would be curious to know how many of these nasty, negative bloggers on here are actually working for him? He sees himself as "the king of the world". He needs to be "taken down a peg or two" and made to realize that he is nothing until he is elected! Nothing!!!

Ugh. This ad just proves how old McCain really is. Doesn't he know that Britney and Paris are no longer top celebrities... they're soooooo 2007!!

Yes, Obama is ready to lead. And lead he will. He has proven himself to be a good diplomat and the world is rallying around him. McCain, who's he?

... McCain smirks his way through one sarcastic comment after another, his face twisted in hatred and disbelief ...

Is just me?.........wouldn't a comment like this be divisive in the context of a global community? The rest of the world is already in a knee-jerk posture concerning America's perceived arrogance? If McCain represents a party that is more in tune "foreign affairs" and capable of running our country? Political expediency and marketing may be at the forefront vs. the best interests of America. In my opinion, this appears to be an ill thought add, very sad in many ways.

Oh, my goodness. Talk about the ultimate put-down, dude - Obama's the "biggest celebrity in the world"! Sheesh, in that case Beezlebub will be coming for him soon! (rolls eyes) I think we can all agree that McCain & Co. are really getting desparate with these kind of quintessentially-dumb ads.

American lives: don't ask questions that you already know the answer to. First of all, Barack Obama is well known because of the fact that there has never been an African American (which is still considered a human being) get this far. Therefore, people here and everywhere are responding to that point alone. That maybe, just maybe America is moving in a direction where equalitiy is possible.

Also, please don't ask the question about why he isn't ahead more. Ok, so why doesn't Beyonce or Britney Spears sell albums to every american. Maybe because people are not going to like Britney and Beyonce for their own reasons. You can't expect everyone to be receptive toward Barack Obama. Geez!! Don't ask for that from Obama, when that hasn't been the case at all in history. When could go back to all the past presidents and ask the same thing, right?

International Newpaper Cartoonist all having
Barack Obama walking on water.

The American Media have Barack Obama walking on water.

The DNC, the RBC, Pelosi, Dean, Reed et al, have Barack Obama walking on water.

The World's largest celebrity must walk on water, even FoxNews speaks about the boy in the Chicago Temple!

Is it true?, Can we get a video of Barack Obama, the Yes we can, walking on water?
Now that would be change you can believe in!!!

McSurge doesn't want to be President. He just wants the title of the first POW to become president. He cares nothing about the job or moving America in the right direction. If you think things are bad now…just wait till he gets into office. Can you say America has become a third world country if he gets into office?
McSurge-vote for me because my opponent sucks

Have we been so traumatized by GWB and the republicans that we forget that the USA was once admired and respected around the world? These desperate, vile, attacks by McCain and his fellow republicans are obvious for what they are. They have nothing to offer on energy prices, the economy, healthcare, IRAQ, the housing crisis, etc, etc. I AM SICK AND TIRED OF NEGATIVE, USELESS, UNCONSTRUCTIVE ATTACKS!!!

Mc Cain did not get the biggest megacelebrities. He got the two biggest megacelebrities bimbos. je

Neither are ready to lead as will be shown when Hillary snatches the nomination out from Obama arrogant nose in Denver.

Chimpfest 2008!!!

Anyone ever noticed how photogenic Obama is? He always looks good even his bad days. Oh no, I think I have a crush on Obama.
Go Obama, lol roflmao

Hmmm. Obama is a Holloywood celebrity?

What was Ron Reagan?

I already have my own reasons to question the good senator from Chicago. Nor am I swayed by the media's love affair with Obana.
However I'm not letting your constant blunders go unoticed either.

So no.. the tired circa 2004 Rove tactics aren't working on thinking Americans. So instead of focusing on Obama perhaps you'll start making a case why we should vote for in November Senator McCain?

Good grief can we get a Biden/ Hagel ticket..

John McLAME wishes with everything he has that he could be Barack Obama. He was just so sure that he would have the status that Obama has simply b/c he has ran for President UMPTEEN times and has YET to win.

Obama...keep doing what you're doing b/c when people are talking about you, you must be doing something right.

Is this how McCain seeks to endear himself to the under 30 crowd? If this isn't a grampy-attempt to take a shot at those darn kids, I don't know what is. Maybe the folks at the senior center helped McSame think it up...

Let's see here, obama removes the American flag from his aircraft and replaces it with his own design, is that the kind of change we can expect? he goes to Bagraw Afghanistan, walks thru the waiting troops without speaking to any, Is this the sign of a good Commander in Chief, and is this part of the change? If you really care to see what kind of a leader he will be take a look at his Senate voting history, see which way he sways there, Humm always toward big business, not onece toward the average citizen, but maybe that's because he's only been in the Senate for 2 years. Waht! you mean he has no experience in confronting US and abroad issues. Well of course there would be change if he was to get elected, he would take us right into the sewer.

My doesn't McCain quit with the negative ads and say something positive for a change about his own campaign...oh I forget – the Republicans never have anything positive to say and don't have a solution for the mess they've created.

We aren't fans...we are supporters.

We support Obama's views, positions and integrity of a man we need as the next President of the United States. McCain need to stop this petty ads because it's just childish!!!!

McCain the kitchen sink is broken. It shattered when Clinton threw it on Obama, missed him by a few yards and it hit the wall. A little bit of shrapnel from the sink hit the PUMA on their behinds. Leave the bathtub alone because I don’t you’ll be able to throw it that far, Obama is too far ahead of your old tired GOP tactics. Its funny since we all know you can’t use the 3:00 am one; I didn’t mention age did I?

yea like ill really listen to a presidential ad with britney spears and paris hilton on it. why not put miley cyrus on it too!! they are the trashiest people in hollywood. thats the worst ad ever.

Everyone should have known that this was coming, they can't attack him on the issues so they attack him on character. First they say he is inexperienced, then they say he is arrogant, now they say he is a celebrity. What will they say next, he is black.

Go President McCain,attack this fraud.

Regardless of who you are for, it is obvious this type of stuff is backfiring on MaCain. He needs someone new to do his campaign.

So his biggest fault is that he's popular? God forbid Americans like their president again.

Senator McCain is a very desperate man, running a very desperate campaign. At this point there seems to be no limit of what he won't say or do. He should have learned from the way Senator Clinton ran her campaign in the beginning that all it does is sully his reputation and cause people to pause and examine him more. What happened to him being an honorable man and the rumored Straight Talk Express. There is no honor in lying and/or at best stretching the truth. If you will do that in a commerical – how far will you go with other things?

McCain has framed himself as a tired, old, grumpety grump. He is a model GOP'r indeed. Good luck in retirement old man!

I think McShame and his campaign design staffers are going through their second childhood. This is so silly, but notice how CNN and MSM, will run with this story and play the ad over and over again. This is exactly what the RNC want. Spend minimum on an outrageous ad and distribute it to the media at minimun expense to them. Use the MSM, why not, they to have no stanards and will push anything that may get them ratings.

Oh wow! Hilton, Spears and McCain! What a group! Now let's add Madona as well and the cabinate full of like minded people is almost complete! I propose Paris the Secretary of State and Brittany the chief of Food and DRUG administration!

Hey McCain is doing it right. History proves the American public can be stampeded into making stupid decisions out of fear and greed.

The fact is you have left Beavis and Butt Head lead you down the tubes for the past 8 years and the polls are showing you are still open to more of the same.

Look at the oil issue. Canada has the largest oil reserves in the world but our gas prices are higher than yours. Why? Because the oil goes into a world wide pool and so would any oil the U.S. might happen to extract after raping your eco systems and destroying your children' future.

The only thing that will reduce oil prices is the threat of diminished demand and the only way to make this threat is by investing in renewable energy.

McCain may be old and senile but he is miles ahead of the average American.

McCain and co. seem pretty desperate.

In 2000 John McCain was all and a bag of chips today he is b-list and
and brunt toast.

Well all a great man once said this about leadership:

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.

John Quincy Adams

And I believe Sen. Obama has those qualities. Stop Hatin!!!

Marcus Age 24 NJ

GOP is frustrated.

McFart ain't going anywhere.

Obama has new smart ad – but CNN................loves McSame .

Why doesnt everyone understand that every time a democrate gets in office they RAISE TAXES and try to get everyone DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT. You DEM's grow up and look what your elected officials do........OBAMA – NO Oil Drilling, depend on foriegn oil and the government, I'm OBAMA, Let me control your life, thats the only CHANGE you will see. Our forefathers were self suffucient why cant we be.........?

Obama Supporters, Do not get complacent:

A large portion of america are still biggoted racists. This will not be a landslide victory for Obama. If we take the election for granted, we shall lose.

Obama's success will depend on the youth vote more then any other sector. People who HATE McCain will not vote for Obama simply due to race alone.

Our youth is the most racially untainted sector of our population, and as such we depend on you to make america great again. Get to the booths and vote for Obama.

Obama '08

I don't think Obama is ready to lead. He is a good speaker and knows how to work a crowd. As far as leading our country? ah no.

What do two airheads know about politics?

STILL FOR HILL: Um, your done watching CNN yet you are here making comments? Get over it.

It is so obvious that John McCain is so jealous of Barack Obama until he is pathetic, which he is at any rate! Sour Grapes on McCain's part!

And I was just thinking that Senator McCain couldn't sink any lower or go any further back on his word for a fair campaign. What a snake.

Obama-Spears '08!!!!!

Obama-Spears '08!!!!!

Obama-Spears '08!!!!!

Obama-Spears '08!!!!!

What a desperation move! Who would listen to Britney an Paris!

Senator McCain seems better and better as we get closer to November 4th..

There is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain will win.

McCain 08 !

Now McSame looks pretty pathetic. Once again, he has no message and all he does is attack. He has yet to explain his position on any issues other than offshore drilling and Iraq. This will backfire!

wait til obama starts attacking mcsame's policies/gaffe's/flip flops in sept. No need to waste time now- 70% of the american people r not payiong attention til after labor day or after first debate.

This is sick. I gave money to Senator McCain and I will always respect him for what he has 'DONE' but I think he is getting 'DONE'.

Sounds lik Jon is a little jealous.

This is typical Republican hot air. and John is full of it.

He needs to take a Dale Carneigh course.

McCain, this is what you Washington Guru need to stop now, this is the kind of politics that makes people sick, get on with Policy issues not Obama.

How is it Obama's fault that Americans and citizens worldwide like Obama.

I can't stand McCain and see him as just jealous!!!!

Gotta love the name-calling. Whether Obama wins in November or not, I am so completely happy that he hasn't stooped to such ridiculous and laughable campaign ads.

Obama 08

Great ad. Shows Obama for the pop-tart that he is.
McCain08; Hillary 2012!!

John McCain need to focus on what he can do to restore the good image of this country around the world, and stop looking for something to attack Obama on. If he continues this negative course, he will not make it past October.

McCain and team is not doing America justice by attacking Obama team all the time... can he at least think of something to debate about ... see with great debate comes change ... these attack ads does not a thing for you or I and doesn't shed light on McCain's stance .... seriously though... from an elder I expect some positive campaigning from his camp ... I thought with age comes wisdom – throw that out the window. I will take the young, innovative, intelligent ,love by the world Democrat any day versus the same old same old mud sling Repugs ... Please get over it McSame

Attack Obama instead of showing what you would actually do... great jorb, Hamstray.

Again, The Republican Party and John Sidney McCain have NO ANSWERS or SOLUTIONS to America's ailing economy. All he does is attack and bully. We need mature leadership with an intellect.

McCain = Bush forever.

Is he's Mr. Wonderful-THan why is the lead so tight-
Most of the people commenting here are the ones that won't vote-
I can tell you the people -50 PLus–Obama has no shot at and those people will all vote-
That's why this is so tight-
He is not just mobilizing the youth - He is mobilizing all-
Good for him-
This may be an in vogue thing " Obama " but like the celebrities who always come out for the DEMs–they never help–
He will still lose !!
Paris, Brittney,Obama–Nice ring-LMAO

That's his problem, he think's he's a Super Star.
He thinks he's a better president than FDR, and John Kennedy.
Oh, sorry, we havn't voted yet.

McBush hasnt had one idea or said anything policy wise in past 3 weeks. He is reacting to obama and that is no way to win.

The same ole karl rove politics will be exposed. Repubs and McWar cannot win on any single policy front so they attack the character of Obama- 2006 was just the beginning. If anyone thinks that the american public will vote for more of the same after the disasters of the bush admin- YOU ARE DREAMING!!!

mcsame is definately trying to secure the racist wv/kentucky/tn votes. those fools were not gonna vote for a black man anyways- no need to waste money.

CAL, what makes you think most of the posters are liberal apologists rather than middle-of-the-road, accurate observers who simply see right through the McCain facade?

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are two of the biggest INTERNATIONAL stars....how out of touch are McCain and the Republicans.

I would imagine that an Obama ad will be put on this blog to balance the free publicity that McCain is getting for his, but I won't hold my breath!!

Shame on you McCain. You promised you were going to have a decent campaign. Do you call these senseless ads decent?

How can we trust you when you are indeed engaged in something different from what you promised? Is this an act of desperation?
You are doing yourself more harm than good because American aren't fools.

Jeff
St. Paul, Minnesota

Barack a bigger celebrity then Britany and Paris.... Thank God, finally people in other countries can attach a smart man's face to the American society.

Also does that mean we are not suppose to vote for someone who is liked by more people then anyone else......weird

Britney and Paris Hilton ! Two pathetic white trash ... Just right for an old, grumpy, confused, bitter old man ...

ATTACK & WHINE ATTACK & WHINE! This is what we really need from a Commander and Chief! McCain & Co – you are pathetic!

As long as Obama doesn't give us a flash while going commando, I'm not bothered by the comparison.

Are the republicans trying to lose this election? McCain is beyond pathetic. I'd be more inclined to compare McCains trainwreck of a campaign to that of Britney Spears' life

does mcain really think that your country is that stupid? come on people, do NOT LET THIS MAN WIN. honestly, it's baffling.

Whatever, McCain.

I'm still not voting for you.

Jealous much?

Pathetic, petty, and sad...America deserves better than JM

To americalives. You'll see the real lead when the actual votes are in.

Silly or not, the point is true. Obama does plan to raise taxes on our energy companies and limits our potential for increasing domestic energy supply. And when there are a good number of "clear-headed" Democrats in the current Congress that favor lifting some of the drilling restrictions, Obama and Pelosi are doing all they can to avoid debate on the issue. McCain is in full right to run the ad in this case.

Thank you Mike in Houston could not have said it better

"People who think the deficit matters are morons"

Tell the people who are losing their homes that deficits don't matter and they'll tell you who the morons are.

McCryptKeeper is a joke. "Wow the deficit is TERRIBLE"

...Well you want to keep the economic policies in place that GOT US THERE!

Whenever the Obama supporters castigate McCain, they show that they are equally incapable of doing anything. If you are one of them and want to show something solid for your support, just tell the rest of us what Obama has done in his lifetime.

McLame is a doddering old fool who wants to bill himself as a world leader yet doesn't know that Czechoslovakia no longer exists (3 times) and that Iran is "the border between Iraq and Pakistan".He's leveraged the fact that he was caught by an enemy and held into a politcal career, but what has he really ever accomplished as a senator besides the McCain Feingold bill, which he has been trying to weasel around since he decided to run for President?

Is he Obana Jesus as he supporters and now Obama now think they are.
I hear he said the WORLD has been waiting for him. He is a SYMBOL.
Isn't that for other people to say
How ccan he describe himself that way.
He is FULL OF HIMSELF or something else

ITS NOT ABOUT JEALOUSY ITS ABOUT COMPETENCE. NO TRACK RECORD. PEOPLE ARE WOWED BY HIS YOUTH PLEASANT SMILE AND GOOD SPEECHES ABOUT HOPE. THATS FINE, BUT ITS MORE OF A SERMON AND NO SUBSTANCE. GW WAS GOOD WITH COWBOY WORDS, GOT EVERYONE WARM AND FUZZY TOO. THAT WORKED OUT GREAT DIDNT IT? SORRY HILARY GETS MY VOTE. I URGE YOU TO DO THE SAME

Lets Just elect another "Old white Guy" so the world can just shrug their shoulders and say"What did you expect?? its Amerikkka"

Yes, he is a celebrity because he is the next president of the United States. Unlike McCain, the media hates Obama and is always monitoring his every move. I guess CNN is now in the same business as FOX.

McCain = McBitter, McSame, McLousy, McBush, McLoser

The above statement is quite obvioiusly childish. I have now sunk to their level.

Since when was being popular and well-liked a crime?

Barrack Hussein lead???? You've got to be kidding, right?

Are you jealous McBush?

Your time is up. You won't win.

Obama 08

I thought that this was going to be a positive campaign??! As I posted yesterday, there are people being paid to tell others NOT to vote for Obama, why isn't this being reported? Pay people to tell falsehoods, gotta love the ethics here.

Obama 08

Thank you McSame for giving us a title for our SUPERSTAR. With your dimwiitted mind, this is all you are capable of. If you were not so stupid, you might have a chance. Do you have enough of your mind left to understand LANDSLIDE?

And John McCain is proposing what?? His ideas are what? More republican ideas that have sent this country into a tail spin? Who knows since all he can do is make up false attack ads.

His campaign doesn't watch much TV..I'd say Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the biggest celeb stars in the world as of the year 2008. Try to stay current McCain campaign.

It made me wonder, is a man who spent 12 years teaching constitutional law at the U of Chicago more really more inexperienced than a man who spent 7 years confined in the Hanoi Hilton?

If being a prisoner of war is so important to character building and wisdom–then why don't we lock everybody up for 7 years as part of their post graduate education and torture them along the way. We would end up with a nation full of heros. Maybe we could make them work in the rice paddies. Oh wait, the Chinese already tried that during the cultural 'revolution'. And the Khmer Rouge...

WITH THIS AD MCCAIN IS APPEALING TO THE DUMB CROWD. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. NO EDUCATION ETC, ETC, ETC.

OBAMA.08

I love listening and watching the desperation of the dittoheads and OxyRush as the tide sweeps them into the deep.

The main reason Obama hasn't opened a lead is he's black. If he were white running against this old senile fool with the exact same credentials the polls would be through the roof. Once people get used to a black man as the nominee it will be over.

McCain's campaign is sad, dishonest and not at all living up to values that John McCain claims to live for.

A Patriot? Would our four fathers have thought that the McCain campaign was making the right moves? Our four fathers would be disgusted.

VOTE NADER '08!

Mccain, Bill O'reilly, Hannity are bunch of racists and stupid stocked!

They are brainless!

Why do we need to drill offshore if that were the solution? oil companies have millions of acres of land to drill on already so why give them more, especially in place like the wildlife reserve? Our economy has lost hundreds of millions if not billions from the oil spill in the Mississippi and we want to create more problems like this?

I think Obama enjoys international celebrity status because he is symbolic of the image the United States used to project–one of hope, prosperity, and justice.

Likely, Obama supporters are not "kool-aid"-drinking robots (although I'm sure there are a few, to be fair), but rather people who believe that we can make this country GOOD again.

So much for a running a respectful campaign, mr. mccain..... hope everything else you say is a little more honest than this promise....
I won't get my hopes up..

McCain is a sad shell of what he once supposedly was.

SIMPLE: the polls are not showing his true lead because they are not polling cell phone users. Do you have a cell and landline? If you're under 35 years of age then the answer is most likely no.

Obama is just another Chicago slime ball.
Alfonse Capone was more honest and probably made a better
president.

Repulicans are scared, scared to death that you ignorant sheep (aka Democrats) will vote in Obama to the highest level in our country without knowing even what your voting for. Like 98% of you have done any REAL research into this man because if you had you would realize just what a dangerous, underhanded, lying, self gloating person he really is and the previous statement comparing him to Hitler hits very close to accurate. You people need to do your homework and McCain may not be what we would choose if given more choices, but he is BY FAR, without ANY doubt, the best choice between the two. Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing and hind site in this instance will be a horrible under statement.

This is absolutely sick. McCain should be ashamed of himself. Is this the kind of "clean" campaign he wanted to run? No wonder one of his principals advisers (I do not remember his name right now) resigned because he did not want to run this kind of dirty campaign against Obama.

Hope that American people are more smarter than this and look beyond the color of the skin too. Otherwise we are in trouble.

It seems like McSame is idolizing Obama as well. Obama does not have to campaign really hard, McSame is doing it for him. Obama is ready to lead and leaving McSame in the dust.

Mcsurge: My friends, I know how to win wars, I know how to catch Bin Laden, I know the area and I know all the players, I know Prime Minister Al-Maliki, I know Benazir Bhutto, I know General Petraeus and all our generals, I know Bin Laden, I know the surge – it is mobilizing additional troops for counter -insurgency and getting local Sunni tribes to denounce Al Qeada terrorists. I know all this my friends. We will win the war – I know how to win wars. I know how to turn the economy around. (But I don't really understand much about the economy but don’t worry about it my friends)

Journalist: This guy has a lot of experience! He knows every one!!

Voter: Journalist, can you please ask him to tell us, his friends, what he knows, and how he will use it to win the war, and how he knows Bin Laden, and how that will help him catch Bin Laden?? Please follow up, please!!

Mcsurge: I know all this my friends, just trust me...

Journalist: This guy is the real deal. He knows how to be CIC...!

I think that not only the Obama girl has a crush on Obama, McLoser does also. LOL!!!!! The question is McForgetful ready to lead? But I'm okay with him spending all his time trying to attack Obama it means that he is desperate and has to throw anything hoping soemthing will stick. It won't work.

Yes we can!!!!

Obama 08/12!!!!!

If the worst I could say about a competitor was he and his policies were MORE POPULAR than me and mine, I think I would say nothing.

**************************************************

JEALOUSY..........

MCCAIN CAN'T DRAW A CROWD THAT BIG.
MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HAVING A LOT OF FOLLOWERS IS BAD.

REPUBLICAN MACHINE IS TRUELY FIERCE DURING ELECTION.
THEY WOULD ATTACK ANYTHING YOU SAY, DO ,WEAR, ETC.
WHILE DEMOCRATES SEEMS TO MOST OF THE TIME STICK TO THE ISSUES.
I THINK DEMOCRATES SHOULD DO THE SAME DIRTY TACTICS BUT IT WOULDNT A DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE.

HOPE GOD HELP US AND LET THE GOOD PREVEIL AGAINST EVIL REPUBLICAN TACTICS.

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

No, Obama is not ready to lead. He has never lead a city or state. He has only been in Congress for a few months, and has been absent most of that time. A person's rock star status does not mean they will be an effective leader.

and???????????
Translation:
whine, whine, whine, the press is ignoring Johnny cuz he is ..
NOT MAKING ANY NEWS. His message is the same,
The surge worked, more war, and I am GW Bush's clone.
Whats new here????

RON ......PLEASE DONT HATE ...BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ACCOMPLISHED.

STOP SPREADING BIG FAT LIES.....

OBAMA...08

I know at the end of a campaign ad you get that ridiculous "I'm so-and-so, and I approved this ad", but I wonder if mcCain is actually listening to what his media people are doing- or maybe there is no one in the campaign who will pull him aside and tell him that his media people are psychotic if they think their campaign is inpressing anyone- indeed, it's all making Senator McCain look downright spooky. Obama made oil prices go up? Obama is a celebutante? Just wait, the next ne is that Obama is really DB Cooper.

I'm sorry, but did McBush say something????

VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA...IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!!!!!!!!!

Attack attack attack. Is that all John McCain does now? Sheesh I used to have so much respect for this man.

Spears, Hilton...Biggest in the world? What year was this ever a fact?

Brad & Angelina maybe or a great deal of other more famous perhaps. This campagne is outdated and jealous and it shows BIG!

Compare a Harvard trained State and U.S. Senator to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton????

How can anyone take the McCain campaign seriously?

Hey Guys,

I just donated to Barack in order to participate in the "Backstage With Barack" contest. Go to his website, click on "Backstage", then donation. You can donate as little as $5., but your donation has to be in by tomorrow. If you win, you will have a chance to meet Barack backstage at the Denver Convention. This works for me because I've been donating anyway.

Good luck, and go Barack.

So much for a clean campaign focused on the issues. McCain offers us nothing new, just the same old negative attack ads trying to break down the competition's character.

And to the people asking who supports McCain, I can say unfortunately, people like my parents that are openly saying they will never vote for a black man. It's sad but as the generations age so do the old ideas that have no place in the world today.

MCCAIN'S JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE HE'S BORING...LISTENING TO HIM PUTS ME TO SLEEP.

McCain's advisor can't even admit that the new ad is negative.

D-E-N-I-A-L

I don't want a slimeball like McCain as president.

Mc Cain needs some new materials. This is getting boring!!!

This is an election with real issues.

Where's the commercial about Hussien doing and selling drugs, that should be a good one.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Just because no one knows who McCain is or cares about anything he has to say is no reason to cry about it.

You do hear that sound? That's the sound of DESPERATION. John McCain, George Bush, Ted Stevens and the rest of the sad GOP are becoming desperate.

Obama is just a "puffed up" Democratic puppet. I wonder who is pulling his strings? He is also a socialist who hates America.

So...what do YOU plan on doing McCain. If you're not willing to tell us your own plans other than those stolen from Obama..just shut that cake hole of yours and retire already.

"'I don’t poll Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, but I know there international celebrities, so apples to apples,' he said."

Wow CNN, using the wrong form of there/they're/their? That's some good proofreading.

He may be a celebrity on the world stage–but to me he and McCain are a joke!!

We need less government meddling in the economy and our lives...and we certainly do not need any new government programs of any kind.

Every time these guys try to help us–we end up with a bigger problem that the taxpayers always have to bail the government out of.

Less is better.
Libertarians 2008...real change that respects your values and your hard earned wages.

When is McCain's campaign going to start positively promoting McCain? They're spending all their time and money bashing Obama.

Newsflash! wow oh wow! Obama just made a speech today to the RNC Dems and quoted to say..." I am the sypmbol of america's possibilities". Mine.....so this is what the audacity of presumtuouness and arrogance looks like.

I also didn't know I was yurning to have the possibility of putting my own personal interests before my country. Didn't know the bar was set so low...hmmmm.

Funny! messed-up celebreties helping a messed-up senator.

One question Sen mcCain. How do you propose to get us out of a 452 dollar defecit that was created by Bush and encouraged by you? You offer us absolutely nothing, except to grow the defecit and insult hthe American peoples intelligence! Respectuful / You don't know the meaning of the word!! OBAMA 08!!

I'll be glad to pay off the 452 dollar deficit.

But what else would you expect from an Obama Supporter. They are always right and never get there facts wrong.

WoW! Smells like desperation to me.

CNN how long do you have to "moderate"? who is working there, Rove?

This add makes a good point. And dems. stop complaning about negative adds. Your comments are the most negative things I've seen this election.

Never mind a website set up to blow away myths about Obama. What about the truth, the facts about Obama. The dirty tricks he used to get elected in the Illinois Senate. The land he bought off a now convicted criminal. The ditching of a close friend and pastor after 20 years because power is more important. What about the dirty leaflets he put out about NAFTA and Hillary and now he thinks NAFTA is a good idea. This man is full of crap, wake up America.

McCain folks you need to read between the lines......THE GOOD OL USA >>>AND >>>THE WORLD are looking for LEADDERSHIP AND CHANGE. SEEMS WE ARE FINDING IT IN OBAMA. STOP YOUR COMPLAINING AND MUDSLINGING AND GET IN THERE AND FIGHT BACK WITH POSITIVE SOLUTIONS AND PROGRAMS. We are tired of hearing the negative crap........GET IN THERE WITH SOLUTIONS AND STOP THE BELLY-ACHING. Give us a choice !!! What is it that person with 30 years experience doesn't get about this ?????

All depends on the definition of 'ready'. It's arguable that Obama is no more or less ready to be president than Bush jr. was. So if Obama isnt ready Bush wasnt either. I will listen to what this kind of ad has to say when the same Republicans say that maybe, just maybe, Bush wasnt ready to lead.

I guarantee they wont.

these repuplicans have no mind. they bring such stuffs.

Mr. McCain:

Here is a quote by Fulton J. Sheen written especially for you:
"Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius."

Dude- quit being a hater and learn something from Obama about how to excite your own party. The Republicans are bored to death with your candidacy, and you want to blame Obama? Give me a break dude! You are the definition mediocrity and insipidity!

How low can McCain go?

It is so sad to read, hear, Senator McCain using tactics he pledged not to engage in.
I have respect for Senator McCain but day by day he is losing all sense of virtue and moral fiber.
Senator Obama , to his credit, will not sink in the gutter.
I thought McCain was above all this?? It all so sad!!!!

I think we all should ask these questions.

1. Why is it that a man with such honor, experience, and knowledge can't beat this inexperienced, young, African- American Senator?

2. Why is it that a man that has fought in vietnam, a POW, with high credentials in the military, has problems with certain geographcal borders can't beat a civilian, inexperienced, unpatriotic Senator from IL.?

3. Why is it, a man, the maverick, the straight talk express, the man of experience is not winning in the polls, against an inexperience, young, rock star, Senator Barack Obama?

4. Why is it that you Sen. McCain can't get past 50% in the polls, get the media coverage, and crowds of screaming believers, and even enthusiasm for your campaign, if you are the better candidate for President?

5. Why is it that you Sen. McCain, are using negative adds towards Senator Obama, if you are clearly look at your record, your judgment, your policies if you are the man for the job as the Commander and Chief?

How come these questions are not being asked?
Why is it that Obama is ahead? Why is it that people show up for these rally's? Why are the media, Republicans, conservtives, and other individuals making this out to be Obama and not the issues?

I know that this entire process of having the first African American Presidential Nominee. Let's face it, the majority of Americans cannot relate to a bi-racial black man that was raised by a white mother and grandparents. Some people don't realize that African Americans and other people of color want the same thing as everyone else. A better life for our families. The American Dream. That's it. How is that different?

I believe we can do it together, no matter what color or party, but we have to be true to ourselves, and be real about it.
It can change America!!

Go Obama!!

LMAO, LOL ... This is what it boils down to? Comparing Obama to Britney and Paris Hilton? Go McCain, lol, lmao

John Mccain has a crush on Obama....but he has to be careful cause Bush might get jealous

No obama .No osama. NO obama. No osama.

Obama doesn't want to be President. He just wants the title of the first african-american to become president. He cares nothing about the job or moving America in the right direction. If you think things are bad now...just wait till he gets into office. Can you say America has become a third world country if he gets into office?

GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES!! YES!!!!!

THE MOST POPULAR CELEBRITY IN THE WORL!!! You eclipsed those non talented blondes!! Spears, Hilton. Thank, God!

McGrumpy is GREEN with envy

Oil Prices are at Record highs....

Right solution: Offshore drilling
Left says: No!
Offshore drilling might only be a temp. solution, but any longterm solution will take years upon years to get off the ground. So why not do both. Ease the prices, and plan for long term easing off the oil? Liberals? Anyone?

Right Solution: How about nuclear power? (Scientists are working on plenty of methods to make nuclear waste more disposable...get off this excuse)
Left says: No!

Left Solution: Blame the Oil Companies
...quite the solution...that solves alot...

Also, get over the deficit people. People who think the deficit matters are morons.
1) The deficit compared to the GDP is at a lower ratio than in other years.

2) Balanced trade is a stupid idea. Milton Friedman, Nobel prize winner in economics, argues this (I imagine he knows alot more than you people)....Countries buy from other countries as needed. Just like one business buys from another business as needed. After one business purchases products/services from another, they dont demand the second party buy equal amounts of goods/services to balance the 'trade'. We buy from China because they manufacture goods at cheap prices. Now, if we were to force China to buy goods from us that they don't need and or cant afford (800 million of the population there are low income), the country would be destroying itself economically, and be hurting the rest of the world in the process.

3) The deficit was an economic indicator created during the industrial revolution when America was still a manufacturing country. Are we still a major player in textiles? No. Is Ford and GM still big players in the auto. industry? No. What does America offer? Intellectual property, where the profit margins are higher. Manufcaturing has notoriously low profit margins.
(Argument and example from author Andy Kessler)
Imagine if you will. Intel (US) says a chip to Toshiba (Japan) for $300. Intels profit on that chip can be something like $200. Toshiba makes a laptop from it, and sells it to the US for $1000. The profit on that laptop is close to $50. The trade deficit for US: $1000 – $300 = $600. But the US has a profit of $200, and Japan has a profit of $50. Keep looking at the trade deficit morons...the higher profits are still here in the US. Who knows when we'll get past the out-dated trade deficit indicator, since economists are all about theory and indicators.

Can you smell the hate, jealousy and desperation in the air from McBush and the GOP? These clowns have nothing on Obama and they know it! There days are numbered!

YES WE CAN!

Anybody that thinks it is ok to have a bunch of "good lobbyists "on Mccain campaing is dreaming; imagine Mccain as president and his campain staff intrenched in his administration and his "good lobbyists" back at work telling "special interest "group about how they have a direct line to anyone in the White House in selling their "good services" just like Bush did, how did that turned out for this country after 7 1/2 years? to ask is answering come on people wake up do some research it is not that hard to find true facts common sence tells me here that if Mccain and is gang are in office god forbid there is no mistake about this it will happen

I am absolutely disgusted that McCain's campaign would compare Senator Obama with the others mentioned.

Please, people, vote in Obama and end this American misery called the Republicans.

I just want to throw up!

My husband and I have both been very active in the Republican Party for years, and were hoping the McCain would bring us new vision after eight years of disappointment with the current administration. After reading and studying the background of Senator McCain's vicious Attack Ads, after his promise not to do so, we have both turned away from the GOP, and will be voting for Mr. Obama in November,

Good going Uncle Fluffy! Better a celeb than a non-entity. Jeez John, if this is the best you can do, we'd better start praying.

Some of you make me laugh with your comments. Obama wanting to be President of the world, CNN promoting white guilt for sympathy votes for Obama, Arrogant, don't the VOTERS know the difference between a celebrity and a real american etc. Wow a nerve has been touched obviously. What's wrong Repubs, can't stand it that the world respects a black man more than your candidate? Funny how McCain goes to Europe and the Middle East, people show up to burn the American flag, Obama goes to the same places, people show up waving the American flag. The time has come for change, real change, new ideas, new faces, equal playing field. All across America and the world, people are excited about a person that will forever change the face of America. Over 300 years of slavery, oppression, neglect and suppression and you still cannot stop reality, that the most powerful man in the world, at least percieved, will be Barack Obama, the 44th President of the United States, which will open the door for others, we will start with African American then to Hispanic American, Asian American, American Indian and so on and you cannot stop that train starting on Novemebr 4th 2008. Why not? Because there are more of us who love him than you who hate his skin.

Sounds like McCain's just running scared! He has nothing of his own to run on, so his only alternative is to attack. I don't think those rather typical Republican campaign tactics are going to work this year.

wow – looks McCain and the RNC are doing a great job showing us they ARE not running a Bush/Rove campaign! what a joke.

I tend to gravitate to positive people, not who can sling the most mud!

Obama 08'

o.k. . . . so the confident, intelligent, go-getter, Obama is probably not going to win this election. Because ... most voters seem to prefer loser, liars and not very "with it" goof-offs. Let me get this straight – we go after over-confident language and rip him apart while looking the other way for the candidate (McCain) who has sold his soul to running a campaign of falsehoods and a constant stream of errors, gaffes and blunders. Here we go – the dumbing of America once again.

Will the media please stand up and take responsibility? Think about this please- it is o.k. to show some bias to the candidate who is clearly more honest, intelligent and confident is his leadership abilities. Could we please get the more honest candidate elected this time? Our country simply can not afford less than integrity this time.

If Bush can be President so can a box of rocks.

Dragon Lady –"one that wants to see America the way that our forefathers envisioned it to be." And exactly how did they envision it?

CNN isn't it your job to be printing the truth and what is news worthy ?
By what we are seeing printed is quite the opposite its what ever it takes lies,slander,anything except the truth then you print it.

Screwing up Obamas comments by adding and subtracting words then you have the gall to print these lies as NEWS ????????????
Erasing peoples blogs /closing the blogs on McCain as you already know the comments will be ZONK .
SCREWING AROUND with POLLS more untrue trash retire Schneider put the polls where the sun don't shine .

That is correct. he is a celebrity. McShame.. no one comes to see you.. no one cares. Stop being jealous.

McFlipFlop for more of the same.

Obama cefrtainly displays enough arrogance , which seems to be a "qualification" for Washington!!!!

What a bunch of whiners.

OBAMA '08!

Didn't we make "Stars" out of Kennedy, Reagan (he WAS a star), and Clinton (with all his antics in the White House?). Its not BO's fault – it just happens with clever, charismatic people....

Thank goodness most reasonable people see the real truth that the Dems are the ones that always attack/smear. They've been doing it for seven years now. Attack, attack attack.

You'll find that the people in the middle hate you Liberal bloggers with your constant name-calling: McSame, McBush, McGrandpa, John McBush , Mclame, mcMelanoma (and those are just from this blog). You are going to be the reason the middle votes McCain.

You're all going to be crying in you beer, when McCain wins in a landslide (that's right, landslide) in November (the polls are already starting to change).

What I really find interesting about these liberal bloggists is they are not talking up Obama, just talking down McCain. Talk about attack, attack attack! LOL.

America is a country whose social, political, and moral progress has been stymied over the last 8 years by Republican so-called conservatism. They've engaged us in a Middle East war that has effectively reduced our ability to properly care for our OWN shores and borders. They've presided over the biggest budget deficits in our collective history. The list of malfeasance goes on and on, and instead of doing their jobs as our elected officials, all they've really succeeded in doing is bilking the American people and the next four generations out of money. Our country is broken. Our system of government is a corrupt sham. Our system of taxation is nothing more than redistribution of wealth to the already hideously wealthy. We are no longer a Democratic Republic. We're a bastardized version of some nightmarish socialist, totalitarian state. Shame, shame, shame!

Nice ad, but McCain needs to hit him harder. Obama gets away with a lot. There is so much information out there about Obama that a lot people don't know about. For example, Obama said over and over again that he was unaware of Wright's racist sermons. However, Obama makes it clear in his memoir that he WAS aware of such sermons. This shows that he LIED. The Republicans better use this information in the fall.

How sad that even McCains's own people recognize that their candidate is so crusty, boring , and unoriginal that the best they can do is attempt to parody Obama's appeal and celebrity status instead of offering anything exciting about their own guy. Well, I suppose that would be asking a lot.

Anyone who supports Obama, but doesn't know where he stands on issues, is an idiot. Anyone who supported Clinton and is now voting McCain out of spite is an immature idiot. I went to Richardson's, Edwards', Clinton's and Obama's websites when this started and I supported Edwards, now I support Obama. If you are spouting stuff about him being a muslim, socialist, and an etilist... you're an idiot too. I would just like it if people would just discuss issues, you know the problems we are facing and how we can fix them. If you want to know why Obama is popular; he gives people faith and hope in this country. A lot of these first time voters were never enthusiastic about voting and/or issues and he is bringing them out in droves. Now, all I hope is that people are really getting involved past wearing his face on a shirt and are looking at local races and state races to see who we are sending to Congress. So what if he's popular, if it was McCain he'd be doing the same thing. Stop whining.

He is becoming full of himself.
and the media has created him on purpose.
It is time the media tears him down

MCSAME AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE AFRAID

AFRAID OF THE OBAMA MACHINE

WATCH OUT REPUBLICANS, OBAMA WILL BE PRESIDENT

No doubt, Obama can woo a crowd. So could Hitler……

_______________

So could Bush, and you all bought the smoke and mirrors hook, line and sinker not only once but TWICE.

Nice try though.

Obomba is certainly what the world is waiting for, especially the likes of bin laden and his gang of thugs. They want change also, because President Bush and the coalition forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan have not allowed that groundhog to peek out of his cave. Between Obomba and Pelosi and the other democrats in Washington doing nothing but collecting their paychecks, it won't take long for the people to see that they've voted wrong again. Sen. McCain will provide the leadership America needs and wants, because he's strong and sees further ahead than just next payday.

Drew - good point!

No thanks MCshame I rather have a leader who is liked by the whole world, that is the leader we can belive in, if you get elected for president all our alies will depart from us, you can not get along with people who wants to work with you and deal with your temper, organce, negative view of like, hear you old stories, hear your whinning day in day our. MCShame you are not a leader you would not of divorced your first wife because you met a younger woman. You will do to American and to the world the same thing you did to your EX wife, divorce every body who does not agree with you Just like your frient George W. Bush.

McCain is out with a hard-hitting new ad.

**Dems should Run Ad with McLiar on Cheaters.....Regarding Him
Leaving Carrol For Cindy .....Old FART ! **

Fordy --These ads are being run in the media for free. Its a part of a strategy…create ads making ridiculous and sensational charges and the the media will run with it (for free)....are you SURE!!!!

Brooke..what ignorance you show!!!Kool-Aid...how original...

Barack is a celebrity because YOU ALL made him one...it's truly not his fault that he is RIDING HIS POPULARITY all the way to the White House...that's what ANYONE would do right?

But I guess since McCain can't seem to be 1/10 as popular as Barack, he choses to attack him...how creative!!! how childish!!!

John there is NOTHING attractive about a 72 year old still whining "People like him better than me"...so much focus on Barack and so little on your own campaign...how telling!!!!

John McCain + Phil Gramm+ George Bush+Dick Cheney =

"A Campaign of Whiners"

ADVERTISING 101 – ADVERTISE YOUR PRODUCTS NOT THOSE OF THE COMPETITION..... MCCAIN IS SO HELL BENT ON BLASTING OBAMA THAT HE'S SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS & WHAT HIS LEADERSHIP WOULD BE. SO WHAT DOES MCCAIN STAND FOR ANYWAY ??? ANYONE KNOW ???

I agree with McCain, Obama is bigger news than the Jolie twins he forgot about them. hahahaha

Same old song- same old republican smear tactics- YAWN! NOT THIS TIME!

Sounds like somebody is jealous!

Look i am going to make this short and sweet
Obama has a lot of great ideas and i think he is the right man for the job however can we please stop acting like either one of these men will change the face of the earth bythemseleves it takes a nation to make change not just one person so lets all do our part in our own community and be held responsible as well and finally with McCain yeah he is attacking Obama and the reason he is doing so is not out of desperation but because he saw that it worked when Clinton did it so he is trying to get a lot of the independent voters this is a race unlike we have seen in quite sometime and i think it will be very interesting to watch how it unfolds. But to conclude Obama has all the experience he needs and he will have a great supporting cast US. and as a person who views myself as an independent I see why McCain is doing what he is doing dont agree wit it but understand it And as people can we stop attacking others and focus on the real issues which are how to make this nation a better place to live. Thanks

Republicans are simply pissin' in the wind with John McCain!!

CNN another one of my post censerd? great
@Texas Trail Dog! July 30th, 2008 12:01 pm ET
That's all he is is show and tell no substance!!!
______________________________________________________
McCain is hoping that Americans are stupid, needless to say he has got your vote. can you tell me ONE thing of substance that has fallen out of McCains lips? no...i thought not.
@STILL FOR HILL...sweetie take your meds. i would refer you to Walters...post, and then talk about anti-white.

now people, yes Obama gets far no press...face it he is more interesting, has solutions, does not resort to attacking McCain( and God knows he could) and people around the world respect him. he IS blue collar, worked his we up to the top of the American Dream, stable marriage, a great father and is running a Brilliant campaign...he beat a Clinton...yet through all of Obama's press 72% of it negative...you want fair? how a bout the press report on the lobbyist running McCain's campaign or the USS Forrestal or the money he has taken from Big Oil or the McCain Bill of 91' or why he refuses to release his Military records?

SEN OBAMA IS READY TO LEAD

SEN MC WAR IS READY TO RETIRE

Our finances is being used as a wedge and fear issue also because every election cycle the republicans uses the word "taxes" as a means to divide and instill fear in the American people. The reason why we're in such a mess is due to the politics of fear and divide and conquer. We're not going to let this happen this time. It also certainly seems as if the world have been waiting for this moment. Everyone I talk to seems to lack confidence in our government. So it seems to be a McCain is certainly out of touch with the American people. I am so tired of petty politics such as labeling him as arrogant and as an elitist and then have the audacity of saying that he's a reason why we have high gas prices. Thats certainly not true. Like Obama says, this is our time, this is our moment to turn the page.

Obama 08

This ad is ridiculous. Is it so terrible that people are interested in politics? I think that the ad really speaks to the climate around the world. People are sick and tired of the same republican same old. And people are excited about a politician...I don't see anything wrong with that.

The Republican Party under the rule of George Bush and Dick Cheney will say anything to get the American people to believe that opening enviromentally sensitive land will bring down gas prices.

The real plan is to get as much land freed up for the big oil companies before George Bush and Dick Cheney leave office.

So what the latest polls are saying is that we have a bunch of naive Americans willing to believe the lies coming from the Republcan party. Haven't they fooled us enough? How much more of beating can we take?

McCain will not say anything about jobs, health care, the economy, or anything else important unless Obama says it first.

I can't even imagine four more years of McBush.

McCain's campaign can be accurately described as "Daily Desperation." It's pathetic. It is actually comical watching the McCain campaing "react" to everything Obama does (witness McCain's hanging out in front of a German restaurant because Obama was in Germany). McCain faired no better in the frozen food aisle, or holding hands with the Dalai Lama (for so long it was a little freaky). McCain's campaing only REacts but never take the initiative like Obama does. McCain completely lacks creativity. He has now flip-flopped to the point where he agrees with most of Obama's positions, but expects us to elect him (McCain) instead. McCain clearly believes that he has paid his dues and the presidency is now his entitlement. Unfortunately, that's not how it works.

why do cable news outlets feel compelled to propagate this kind of negative advertising by showing it for free to larger audiences than the original media buys by the campaigns? the swiftboaters would have been ignored if not for the cable outlets amplification and 24/7 discussion. this is not news, not journalism ... its trash, propaganda.

sad really.

McCain stop your crying and talk about important issues like what you would do to fix the economy and create some jobs. I bet you wish you were in Obama's position.... (mccain) : )

For McCain being such an old man he the biggest baby I have ever seen. Sounds like a nagging husband. Enough already.....

I supported McCain in 2000...the 2008 McCain is not the same one.

He is now a tired, pathetic old man who has nothing to offer but Rowe type negative ads.

So much for the "civil campaign" he promised....but then he has flip flopped on several things....including taxes!!!

Messiah Obama!!! Messiah Obama!!! I have a pimple on my nose. Touch it oh Great One so it may heal. You arrogant sob.

America choose McCain for his dirty tricks, and you have your president you deserve.

John McCain's reactions to everything Barack just show what a small, envious man he is.

Is he ready to lead? what a question. With all the evidences against him( e.g his age and color of his skin, etc) he made it to be a Democrats leader. He is creating so many followers all around the world, and if nothing at all he is leading your campaign’s ad
