Why is Senator McCain putting out all the negative ads? Is it because he really doesn't have a clue about helping America out of the mess the Republicans helped to make?

It's pretty sad when you have to tear someone else down to make yourself look good.

By the way, Senator McCain needs to stop with the so-called jokes regarding women, war and religion. It will eventually backfire because he's not funny and doesn't seem to know or care when he crosses the line.

Americans are fools. We all know that. Voting for Bush instead of Gore and again for Bush instead of Kerry. With America in recession they are about to vote Bush's mirror image into the whitehouse. Next thing? Iran bombed and bombed, Iran attacked Israel, Middle East in crisis, oil price, food price over the roof...

Semi-literates!

Four thousand dead soldiers–you make your choice.

Obama 08

Never in all my life have I wished, on August 1, that I would awake tomorrow morning and my calendar would read "November." This campaign is not just sick, it is terminal.

He probably will pick Hillary. She started out a Republican and flip-flopped over to the Dem. party. Did she ever conceded and turn over her Delegates? He's waiting to see if Obama picks if her if he don't anything could go. OBAMA '08

crook

JUST THREE YEARS AFTER KATRINA........JUST TELL THAT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL HOMELESS AND ARE STRUGGLING.

OUR REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT STOOD BY AND DID NOTHING TO HELP WHEN KATRINA HIT

I FOR ONE WILL NEVER FORGET OR FORGIVE THEM FOR THAT.

Jindal said no, and i like the fact he said no. No one wants to go down with McShame

I'm sure McCain has hit quite a few people in his career. He doesn't have the right temperement for the Presidency.

MCSHAME FINALLY APPRECIATING OBAMA.

IT MUST FEEL LIKE HE IS THE ONE, AFTER OBAMA'S

100% CORRECT JUDGMENT ON ECONOMY & THE IRAQ WAR.

MCSHAME IS A SMALL SLITHERY, GREEDY DISHONEST, BIGOT.

I didn't get to comment in the column about Obama being called the one. I will say this to the McCain campaign, if I were you I would stop playing with God. Everybody knows there was only one. Be careful what you ask for.

Being fooled in the last two presidential elections isn't enough for some people, I suppose. The fact is, McCain is NOT proposing much of any substance that would be different from the president that everyone agrees was a complete disaster (even the republicans). Taxes, energy, education, defense, what's different. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on you, Fool me a third time, shame on me.

I like Mccain. But what I don't like with him is because He can't say anything without Obama's name. I think he stops to think for himself.
It's just too bad and too sad.

there's just too much hate and racism in the air, Jindal won't make it

What McCain knows about "The One” when he doesn't believe in anything. What is McCain faith anyway?

Enough of this bull what about this economy, the high gas prices, the unemployment rate, the lead in toys, the food poisoning, the unjust I have endure for many years. What does McCain bring to the table, nothing but a lot of outrages ads? Enough of this bull, let’s talk about the important things that matter in this election. Every other word that comes out of McCain mouth is Obama. Does McCain knows anything about politic? Or is he the empty headed one.

What about these town hall meetings that McCain conduct. The people that attend just sit there like they are under a spell; what’s up with that?

The republican have been on top far too long and that is why we are in this mess. It’s time to break the barrels and tear down these walls.

I like Mccain. But what I don't like with him is because He can't say anything without Obama's name. I think he stop to think for himself.
It's just too bad and to sad.

If Mccain is elected, it will be the end of America.

To all of you still scared that Obama is inexperienced and not ready to lead – this is simply not true.
Here's a list of past presidents that when elected into office had less political experience than Obama. George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Woodrow Wilson, William Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Chester A. Arthur, Rutherford B. Hayes, Ulysses S. Grant, Abraham Lincoln, Zachary Taylor, William Henry Harrison, Andrew Jackson.

A war hero handling war issues is safer than someone with a self-proclaimed academic judgment! S. Obama has been heard to mention the "57 states" of the US and "Israel is the best friend of Israel." It is more acceptable for S. McCain to mispeak once in while because of his age and because he does not flaunt his intellectual prowess. On the contrary, S. Obama likes to show off his youth, charm and style... it is hard to imagine that he mispoke often too...

So. Why aren't you guys allowing comments for "the one" campaign ad that McCain just did?

Yeah,, seems to me that Mccain's monotone is.. Obama said this, Obama against that, Obama this, etc. WHAT IS YOUR PLANS, MCCAIN?

Im not comfortable with that Jindal guy as veep. I would be very happy with a traditional VP such as Romney. He is Morman as well and comes from a decent traditional family with real American roots..We are republicans with traditional values not crazy wild democrats..Please pick Romney!

Still For Hill what's McCain going to do for you? Nothing. If it helps you feel good about voting for McCain out of hate for Obama, go ahead – be our guest. Who cares? McCain is going to lose and Hillary will not be President nor Vice President either. Get over it. And MainStream forget about Colin Powell as a VP for McCain. Colin Powell wants nothing to do with John McCain. Colin Powell is a man of great courgage and dignity. He would never want to be part of the low road, baselessness and personal attacks John McCain is using against Obama. He has already strongly hinted that he will endorse Obama anyway.

hey mcbush, i think we would like to see a little more negativity out of the rnc. you have to laugh when you see the mcphoney religion commercial. we have already had christ running the show in dc for 7.75 years. how can ther be another one? the rnc, and mcbush, they have to be comended for scare tactics. it's business, like rove wrote it himself, take the pee brained americans and scare the vote out of them. then claim, that obama used the race card first, yeah if you listen to limbaugh he'll have you believing it in a second. mcflip, mcflop, when the debates start mcbush wil looking to mcduck out of the way of hismcself. mccain, is so mcfunny. do you think if he went to mcdonalds, he would have to order a mccoke? someone once said they hate it when people put mc in front of every word. mcwar, mcbush, mciran, mcoil, mcbig business, mcliar, mcracist, mcold man.man this is fun, i could do this all night, but i must go on and get life, mcbye.

God Bless Mr. McCain!! Send Obama running Home!!!! McCain , McCain all the way !!!

Today is another day for McCain filled with pathetic demagogy. I noticed that McCain is stealing other people’s ideas and accomplishments and presents them as his own. By the way, has he undergone mental and psychological evaluation recently? It appears he has serious mental and psychological issues. I believe that he does not remember what he was saying yesterday, much less some time ago. He is confusing and twisting facts and lying constantly. Telling lies can also be an indication of a mental condition. He is “chewing” on “surge” issue to the point that it turns one’s stomach. And his explosive temper and infamous “Bomb, bomb, bomb…Iran”? He sounds like a blood-thirsty monster. By prepared for more wars, people, if McCain is elected.

McCain the sight of you makes me physically ill. Thank God enough people see through your lies and negativity. Obama will WIN! And doesn't Jindal practice exorcism? Didn't he admit to that?

Please, PLEASE pick Bobby Jindal. He's the Christian "Taliban" Governor of LA and is truly reflective of McLame's attitudes towards conformity and restriction of person choice. Freedom loving America would bury this ticket. McLame/Jindal in '08 – PLEASE!

Still for Hill....apparently you don't know much about your own candidate because on all the issues you mentioned, she and Barack were on the same page. And if you want to talk women's issues, why don't you take a look at McCain's stance against birth control being covered by insurance but allowing Viagra. That's not very pro-woman. And he's keeping awfully quiet about whether birth control should be defined as "abortion" as the Bush administration is proposing. PLUS, you do realize that he started seeing his current (much younger) wife while still married to and living with his last wife. Those examples alone speak volumes about his character and his respect for women.

NO WAY MCCAIN!

I think Bobby Jindal would make a great PRESIDENT...once he's obtained some more experience under his belt. But I like Jindal, I think he's a good guy. He would be a great choice for VP. All the Republican/Bush haters are blind, biased, under-researched, and will vote for whoever their party picks, even though McCain is a much more moderate candidate than Obama.

I heard Jindal is Islamic. It was in my inbox, it must be true!

Who ever Mccain picks for a V P that he can convince Mccain to stop the Vicious Attack adds, and put up adds that talk about the issues that the American people want to hear about. The American people are sick and tired of this. Lets hope Obama stomps Mccain in the general election. Will serve the old man right. What goes around comes around, remember this all you Mccain supporters

Jindal is just another GOP fool!

Hope, I have hope just not the audacity to blindly hope. We need more than words; we need someone who knows how to do the work. What work has Sen. Obama done? Sen. Clinton has 30 plus years of real civil rights leadership, actual gains that has allowed the disadvantaged to have a voice and that has allowed for this very discussion of Sen. Obama’s candidacy. What has Sen. Obama done for America? Local community outreach and state senatorial voting record of present are not enough to say he is experienced. And as the chairman of the Subcommittee on European Affairs with jurisdiction over NATO’s operations, he didn’t call a meeting in two years, two years! Is this how we can expect him to execute his office? It is the Executive branch not the legislative branch I’m concerned with- as the President is the top executor of the country.

Change, what change and by whom? I want change, truly I do, but how will that change come and by which path? Since Sen. Obama was instilled as the DNC’s puppet over the people’s choice, can anyone tell me what the change will be? (Say what you must but Tammany Hall is live and well in Chicago and in the DNC; it’s been lurking, waiting to raise it’s ugly head since FDR.) Is this an example of the type of administration we could expect from Sen. Obama? Strong arm tactics. What a glorious way to capture the nomination. It's not about the journey but about the end results.... RIGHT? Will this be our legacy to the future?

How exactly will Sen. Obama approach the issues facing our great nation? Let’s face the fact that his experience – community outreach and a state senatorial voting record of "Present," does not qualify him for the office of the President of the United States of America – one in which the new President will face the effects of global warming, war, commodities shortages- everything from fresh water and oil to wheat, economic "downturn" and health issues ranging from rogue viruses to tainted food/products. Many of these issues span an international spectrum. Where exactly does Sen. Obama exhibit the experience to effectively deal with these issues? (Who do you want performing your open heart surgery, the professor or the surgeon?) It takes more than being able to talk about how something is supposed to act, (anyone who has just come out of college to start a new job can attest to that;) it takes the experience of actually doing the work. We need change and we need proven leadership – on day one. In my opinion the only person who has the qualifications to effectively handle all the issues facing our nation is Hillary Clinton. This is the reason so many of her campaign advisors are now working with Obama, because he knows Hillary was the true candidate of change. In my opinion the only person who has the qualifications to effectively handle all the issues facing our nation is Hillary Clinton. Barack as Chief Executive?… never. This 30 year democrat will write in Hillary for president and not Obama, no matter who his running mate. I found him lacking and still do.

You seem to be doing better John. So just keep it up...

Does McCain ever have anything positive to say? He will probably end up closing the department of Education which means the end of public schools.. The more McCain trashes Obama, the less I respect him.
He sounds like an envious, hostile old man who is losing it completely!!

DO ANYBOBY CARES ABOUT MCCAIN THEY WILL ADVISE HIM TO TAKE CARE OF HIS HEALTH BECAUSE ITS SERIOUS

MCCAIN is a white Grumpy old grandpa who looks like is constipated and is trying hard to get attention. Not this time it won's work.

To Rudy NYC

McCain doesnt make speeches. He goes to town hall events where real people can ask him real question. So if answering question about issues from real americans is considered a bad speech, then i guess your right, McCain makes bad speeches.

Obama makes the same speech after speech and finally people are starting to realize all he is is talk.

Desparate T-Rex looking Fossil.

Still for Hill
Uh, my 401k has taken major hits for the last 2 days while Exxon and Mobile have made major profits. Explain that to me please. You Ditz.
Go play with your toys. Children should be seen and not heard.
Hillary does not love you. She doesn't know you. She doesn't care about you. She never did and never will.

I will vote for McCain, only if Anne Coulter is on the ticket.

Barack is right. McSmallMan has nothing good to say about himself, he's allowed America to see his true colors and man are they ugly. So instead of McBash talking about his policies and ideas for the future of America, he bashes Barack– day after day.

I get it; this is really what the American people want. They want someone that doesn't focus on their needs, their struggles, their economic pressures, their concerns, yes, we want more bashing.

McCain, this has truly been a disgraceful week for you ‘my friend’ or should I say McLowBlows.

why is it not reported in the news that sen. obama does not believe in buying christmas gifts or birthday gifts for his children. that goes a long way into his character . what father in his financial position does not buy his children birthday gifts. what christian father does not celebrate the gift of god's son to us by giving at christmas

McCain has only SAID that Jindal is in consideration to make voters think that he would add a person of color to his ticket. This fairly screams simplicity, though, on McCain's part: "I've got to have someone of a different color on my ticket in order to have fighting chance against an African American candidate". What he is failing to realize is that Barack Obama is so much more than just an African American candidate. Jindal is a token for McCain. No way he is going to be the VP choice.
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12–YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It always amuses me when people who have no experience in the education field think they know how to solve the problems better than the teachers do.

There is nothin honorable about John McCain! We are just begining to realize and see his real face. He is that lowly slime you see in the gutter. We no longer trust this low-life.

According to the polls McCain is almost even... in a year when the Dems should have a 20 point lead...

Ha Ha... to bad you picked the joke instead of Hillary... the DNC will only have themselves to blame when McCain takes the oath...

Obama 08... Sad, Sick and Sorry

Not surprised none of you responded to my question. You are so smart until some one points out the holes in Obama's plans.

I love all the talk about lobbyists contributing to McCain. I will do you a favor and say you are right. You may be I don't know or care. I would like to point out that Obama has gotten Allot of credit for his online campaign. Do any of you Know who his largest online supporter is, Moveon.org .

So the next time you complain about lobbyists remember they are among Obama's biggest supporters.

JINDAL WILL NNEEVVEERR BECOME McCAIN'S RUNNING MATE BECAUSE HE IS NOT WHITE!

POST-STILL FOR HILL. You are a good reason not all american should be allowed to vote. You are still for Hill the Pill, and lesser of two evils. Your a goof, and by voting for MCCaIN YOUR NOT VOTEING FOR HILLERY. YOUR VOTING FOR BUSH. GO READ A BOOK , YOU NEED IT.

Seen the latest polls? McCain doesn't need a VP to beat Obama..

McCain praises someone and hits Obama. What a surprise. 90% of Obama's ads don't even mention McCain. I agree with Ben on Hannity. His latest twist is to refer to Obama as the community organizer. This from an indifferent high school student and college drop out, with absolutely no credentials in journalism, political science, or even history. The guy is a sham, getting paid millions to preach to the choir. Whatever happened to true conservatism spouted by Buckley. How far downhill the right has fallen.

Tony, I would have absolutely no problem saying anything I have posted on this censored blog to someones face. No problem at all.

Also, your right, there is a lot of mud slinging going back and forth. If you watch closely you'll notice that the dems use mostly facts to counter the repub attacks, but the repubs use personal attacks. Why not build the case for McCain rather than tear Obama down?

YAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course McCain is attacking Obama. When he have no record of his own to run on, that is all that's left. He's an angry, bitter, jealous OLD MAN!

John McCain will step down from the race in a few weeks siting his poor health.

Not to mention the fact I think it would be pretty hard to get a "nuclear power plant" on a ship; I guess he meant nuclear powered engine. Sometimes the elderly get confused.

I think the two would be great on a ticket. Go McCain

I hope McCain finds picks someone that has knowledge of the facts regarding nuclear energy. Here is McCains latest gaff:

"I served in the U.S. Navy and there are Navy veterans here who have sailed on Navy ships around the world for more than 60 years with nuclear power plants on them," he said this month in Ohio. "There has never been a recorded case that I know of where someone has been injured, killed or had ill effects of those nuclear power plants."

YET:
"Accidents involving American and Soviet ships, bombers and rockets have left at least 50 warheads and nine nuclear reactors scattered on the ocean floors," The New York Times reported in 1989, citing a report by Greenpeace that counted 799 accidents involving American nuclear-powered ships, subs and aircraft.

More misrepresentation from McCain's str8 talk express.

McCain, Tom Ridge or even better Colin Powell, as VP would truely attract alot of attention from Obama. Take the moderate path and a bi-partisan cabinet will absolutely suck the wind from Obama's sails I feel thats a Republican reconstructive White House. If you stick with the right wingers and bible thumpers McCain you will looozzzz. think about it

and independent mainstream voter.

Do all politicans miss the point here. Why do we continue to have ANY school (+ community) that is not doing its job to educate America's future. I know every school can't be a top 5% performer, but why not fix the problem of school performance as opposed to just giving parent the freedom to move on.

Hey MC, isn't Jindal a little young to be your sweetheart.

I think he needs to use democrat tactics in setting up accusations and then settling them out without any bias. Like what happened today, theatre at its best.

As a Louisiana native, being the governor of the state is not exactly equilvant to leaping tall buildings in a single bound. Remember Blanco's finest hour in Katrina, one of, if the not the lowest point in the history of the state. "Pray for us" was her answer while folks drowned in their attics! Jindal has already vetoed bills after he stated he would not interfere in the pay scale of the state employess, that of course, until they doubled their salary. Then he stepped in and vetoed the new legistration OOPS! Show's a lot of good judgement there. Not to mention the man believes the earth is only 6,000 years old so that his creationist dogma is a good fit.

Well, since the Repugs think free public schools are a liberal socialist idea, they are killing the public schools in favor of church schools and home schooling. Home schooling means never having your kids meet people with dissenting opinions, or different religions; it's great if you are a timid bigot. For the rest of us, this is a bad idea; poorly educated people make awful neighbors.

way this crook (McCain) could win is if he asked Jesus to be his running mate, but he's probably an Obama supporter too. yesterday McCain inferred that HE would do and say anything to get elected.

I'd like to hear Senator McCain detail his last two years at Annapolis and how that qualified him for flight school – at the top of the list.

Hope Jindal reconsiders....McCain and Jindal would be a great pair!!

McCain seems to just write off the black vote. He is not very good at bringing all sides together. Why so much division already? I thought us Americans were finally moving toward not judging on color but character. Well, that thought has been tossed in the trash. I am Very Very disappointed in him right now. I would like to see a clean campaign race instead we are getting dirty politics. Shameful.

I am so tired of this old geezer.

Hey Seniors for America–
Do you watch any TV–
Those you named are much more balanced than ABC, CBS ( Dan Rather) tried to fixed the 2004 election-MSNBC –Have you ever heard Keith Oberman– He's Biased !!
Point is-THere are stations on each side-Some better than others–

Wow, he really wants to lose huh? No Republican would ever vote for anyone that's not white and not a man!

I think this man is better than Bary Hussein.

what has Mc Cain done for the white community......his 26 years in the senate hasn't helped........white trash is growing faster than any other stryggling group in america.........look it up Reality KING

Deception, misdirection and propaganda, that is all this little speech by John McCain is about. This is just another tactic to change the story line from the Big Oil profits.

Notice that when McCain speaks, he offers nothing constructive.

Oooooooooooooooooooh, Americans! Don't tell me that you can be fooled all the time by the same people who have already dug a big grave so that you all can dive in; no matter the outcomes.

Don't tell me that you can't see this coming. Watch out folks!

Go McCain.

Obama's best idea today is to take money from oil companies. That's messing with my 401K and yours. We all own a part of the oil companies...

Instead of fixing the problem, Obama wants to steal from the rich to give to the poor. Obama, is Robin Hood in there somewhere?

Obama says no to drilling, nuclear power, etc. His rebate plan is a farce and our children will once again be paying for it.

If I can't have Hill, I'm voting McCain (the lesser of two evils and at least he has a record to base an opinion).

why is it not reported in the News about all of the big Washington LOBBYIST running john mccain's campaign…Wayne Berman-Chevron, Eric Burgeson-BP, Frank Donatelli-EXXON (12 billion dollar profits this quorter), Rebbecca Anderson-Sunoco, CHARLIE BLACK-Occidental Petro.(still on pay roll), Nancy Pfotenhauer-Kock Ind.(see her often on CNN), Randy Scheunemann-Amco to name a few. why don't we see reports about how Mccain took $100,000.00from Lowell Paxson, McCain would write 2 letters to the FCC recommending they allow Paxson's purchase a Pittsburgh TV station. why has it not been reported that Mccain was against off shore drilling UNTIL McCain got MILLIONS from Big OIL? if i were a Repub…i would say STAY AWAY TOO. Americans can not afford McCain, Oh one more thing( not about ageism), but do you really think McCain can serve two terms?

Let's truly be honest-THere is more trash talking about McCain and some about Obama on these blogs -than either candidate could ever say--It is a lot worse here because most of you are cowards who could never say it to someone's face–
Let's try and be civil-
WE have a great country which allows Freedom of Speech-
Thank God for that or most of you in some foreign countries would be in Jail–
It's funny that most of the trash talking comes from the DEms–
Just chec k it out-

his ideas are a hell of a lot more interesting and advanced in "judgement" then yours Johnny boy.

McCain can't make a speech without using Barack Obama's name at least once. Sometimes I feel like he's obsessed with Barack Obama.

THE REPUBLICANS ARE ALL ABOUT SERVING BIG BUSINESS AND THE RICH. RECORD PROFITS BY BIG OIL, DRUG COMPANIES AND INSURANCE COMPANIES.

FOX NEWS, WALL ST JOURNAL, WASHINGTON POST, DIRECT TV AND NEW YORK POST ARE OWN BY MURDOCH SUPPORTING THE REPUBLCIAN RIGHT WING.

THE AMERICA NEEDS FAIR AND BALANCED COVERAGE!

What has Obama done for the black community? His shear presence obviously ain't working..

It really doesn't matter if McCain puts Jindal, Pawlenty, Portman, Romney, etc on his ticket. They each have a lot of baggage and are "risky" choices. McCain sure does look a lot older lately. Are you sure he is only 72ish? We have a minimum age to run our country as President; why don't we have a maximum age? We are one of the youngest countries in the world. How come we have to have such old candidates with such outdated, old ideas? Believe me, Bill Gates wasn't in his 70s when he founded Microsoft.

Wow, looking at these comments, I am *so glad* to be a Democrat with Obama as my candidate. The truth is there is really no VP choice that helps McCain because his party's positions are so intellectually and morally bankrupt, just like him. (Which in McCain's case is very sad because he was a better person once upon a time.)

Obama 08 & 12

Please pick Jindal, ensure an Obama victory.

McCain 08 and Jindal would make a super mate!

A vote for Obama is a vote for a Fascist Socialist! Fascism under Benito Mussolini and Nazism under Adolf Hitler came from the same intellectual source as Progressivism, the birth-mother of American liberalism."

Praising one Governors urban education policy at a convention of national leaders seeking to develop successful urban policy–is a leap from nominating that same person as Vice President.

I swear–the press runs with any tid bit no matter how ludicrous!!!

Way to go McCain. Wait, wasn't it the republican party in control of the government when the Katrina mess occurred? Wasn't the program you are praising proposed by democrats? Isn't it great to have someone who knows how to speak to the people? McCain you will McLose so you can go back to your Mctrophy wife.

Senator McCain needs to address the underlying problem. The problem isn't vouchers. The problem is that we have sub-par educational systems.

Get them all on the same standards of providing quality education, and nobody would have to worry about vouchers to send the kids to a better school.

Jindal is younger than Obama and does not much more experience
than Obama and this would be a plus how

I bought my ticket for Denver. I just have to be there. I don't know if I'll get in the convention, or the arena for the acceptance speech, but I'm going.

Obama 08
Denver or Bust

How could these Republians agreed they have somehow work with senator Obama on different issues that matters to the public and the GOP said Obama never work with the repulican?

Now the sensible people will know if they have not know before that Obama have worked with the repulican for the intrest of the America pulblic, that many repulican are flip floppers. One said no Obama is leftist the other said no he is middle. Some charge Obama have never work together with the other side of the aisle.

Flip flop is the other name for some republican, just like Mccflipflops

The low road express!

Obama is an empty suit. All he cares about is making the front cover of a magazine. While Obama is campaigning in Germany, "real" American's are hurting.

And while Obama's poll numbers drop, all he can do is call McCain a racist?

I vote to deport Obama to Germany, where he is loved.

Tax payers who donate to a Church that has tax exempt status or to other organizations that help the the sick or poor should be able to take the standard Federal tax deduction plus donations this would encourage more people to give .

Steve Schmidt went to the 'Rove school of spin and lies" and have been close friends for many years,just incase you wondered where the hatemongering was coming from.John made a huge mistake hiring him,his BS is not going to work this time around.

I'm betting McBush couldn't go ONE day without throwing Obama's name out there in some derogatory manner. Bobby Jindal won't be his VP pick anymore than Hillary will be Obama's. He's "too young, inexperienced" and he don't look like anybody on a dollar bill either. Nice try though McBush.

So much for experience...but I bet that won't make one bit of difference to the Republicans who are complaining about Obama's lack of experience. Hypocrite maximus. And no, since McCain has no policy, he has no other choice but to trash talk his opponent.

Eddie Blake, you're kidding, right? Maybe you aren't. But read the Constitution. We have very specific mandates for the separation of church and state. I just wish we also had very specific mandates for the separation of this country from dumb a$$es like you.

This man is a robot of the Republican party. Sham artist extradinaire! Cnn won't post anything negative about McCain because they are owned by the republicans.

What about the families that are unable to move their kids from failing schools. Are they part of his grand scheme to provide the quota of poorly educated to fill the low paid factory and service jobs. Does the plan include keeping the life boat small for getting kids from failing schools designed to keep the numbers down so that the currently well off have less competition.

Can McCain give a speech without talking about Obama? This election is sickening, and so are some of these Stupid news reporters that's reporting it!

Cant this man go one day speaking without using OBAMS name seems to me mccain is obsessed with obama picking his vp what does that have to do with obama jeez mccain stop being pathetic or can you????????

I like McCain, but I don't want him to win. Really, I don't. This is the most exciting election our country has had in a long time, and it's not exciting because of John McCain. It's just not. Four more years of the Bush policies would be a disaster for this country. Everything that is at the brink of falling, would just tip over for sure. McCain means well, but he doesn't have the skills to take this country to where we need to go.

His speeches put me to sleep, and he can't motivate me to go to the end of the block. And excitement, no...he's dull as a doorknob. Nice man, but dull, dull, dull. Our country needs to be motivated to get us out of this quagmire, and McCain is not the man to do it. He’s just not, let’s face it.

Problem with Jindel is he has less experience then Obama. So he negates a lot of why McCain is against Obama dont you think?

The republicans are just using Bobby Jindal as a smokescreen!.....The McSame campaign and the republican party denigrates minorities and immigrant families and will NEVER make Bobby Jindal, an indian immigrant a veepee...he DOES NOT have the skin color that bodes well for the republican bigot tickets.

Bobby Jindal must be smoking something to think that he will be a veepee with John MsSame!...the McSame campaign only knows how to use the "race card" to divide americans just to win an election.

John McSame = Bottom of the Low Road Express = Brain Paralysis!!!!!!

So John -boy...what happened on the USS Forrestal? Were "mistakes made"?

No way in hell does McCain pick Jindal as his running mate and anybody who believes that its a possibility is a moron.

I suspect McCain and Jindal have already agreed he will not be the VP choice and they are making it look like that was Jindal's decision.

Someone needs to tell McCain to knock off the dirty tricks. Was it just a coincidence that the McCain people made a big issue of race yesterday, and then today there are hecklers at an Obama rally on economics interjecting race into the discussion? Anyone that doesn't think the GOP was behind that is living in the Land of Oz.

Hey CNN, why cut off Mr. McCain's question and answer session with the Urban League…right when the questions were getting too tough for the "maverick"…? it was really getting heated in there..huh?… That, I guess, explains the "mysterious" cut-off…interesting!

Listen carefully because John McCain has no ideas, and even on the mere chance that he did, he couldn't remember them from one campaign stop to the next. He flip-flops in the matter of 24 hours or just plain doesn't remember or believe what comes out of his mouth And what real reform can John McCain tout when he has voted with Bush 95% of the time? McCain, McBush, McSame. Anything he has stood for in the past he is now against including McCain-Feingold as exhibit A.

All McCain is capable of is criticizing Obama over and over and over again. I guess it's true that he himself has no new ideas. If he did, he might spend even an eighth of his time talking about them. And no, I'm not counting his ridiculous "gas tax holiday" idea, because it's just that....ridiculous. And I'm not counting his ideas about Czechoslovakia or the mythical Iraq/Pakistan border, either. Or the supposed benefits that the troop surge had in Iraq before it was even implemented.

Why are people falling for McCain's lies? Take one look at factcheck.org, and you'll see article after article debunking the deceit that McCain is spewing. Very few about Obama being off, but tons about McCain.

I am telling you upfront John McCain, your best choice to win the presidency is to bring Mitt Romney on board.

But also take note John McCain if and when H.R. Clinton wins the nomination at the Denver Convention all bets are off, YOU LOSE!!

Hillary Rodham Clinton President 2008-2012

Anybody, but Obama. Go McCain.

McCain is showing that he is the empty suit with no substance so he throws false statements and cheap shots. He was a positive person at one time, but found that didn't work with the Republicans, so he has sold himself out and has become a bitter, confused man. Seeing how many mistakes he makes with geography and history, I fear that he will ever have access to the button.

Great. Pick a guy that looks like Ray Romano. "Everybody Loves Bobby?"

jindal would be better off running for president in a few years under his belt. dont let McCain drag you down.

for 2008 , Obama is the choice

If McFuddy could not have Obama to slam on a daily basis what else would he talk about.

yaaaaawn.

Dems are dead if Jindal is the Republican VP.

The DNC will rue the day they allowed the youth, the AFrican Americans (12% of the pop) to threaten them and dictate that Obama be the nominee.

Obama is the LEAST QUALIFIED OF ALL THE DEMOCRATS- yet by strong-arming, cheating, race-baiting, threats and HILLARY bashing- he stole the nomination.

This travesty of justice and subversion of the democratic process must not stand.

I will easily take McCain and Jindal- and I have voted democratic for 35 years since I was 18.

MCSame is pathetic
thats all he can do is attack Obama
such a shame he is so jealous
try sticking to the issues your campaign might get some traction

Does he do anything else but attack? Who is advising this man?

when you reference the Manchurian Candidate you are talking about a military person captured and then brainwashed by the enemy....hmmmm lets see. John S. Mccain was a POW for 5 years and the Star of some 32 Vietcong Military films, signed anti- American statements...he gave them Military information after the 4th day in captivity, upon his return he left his injured wife ( who would never fit the mold of a first lady after her accident) to marry a women 18 years his JR. blond and attractive (picture of a first lady) after his tor id affair and betrayal of his first wife...oh yeah very rich, used her money to run for Senate, a lot of shady dealings, happens to have one of the highest absent records, ran unsuccessfully several times for POTUS, and now is at 72 running again in a campaign reeking of negativity, confused rhetoric, flip flops, a lot of old Bush campaign employees, and oh yes a whole lot of Big Washington LOBBYIST...5 years under the enemy, bought his way into Senate ( having NO prior political experience) failed attempts to power now BACKED BY THE CORRUPT WASHINGTON LOBBYIST AND EX BUSH CAMPAIGNERS...now all that being said, who sounds more Manchurian? can you really trust a "hero" who refuses to release his Military record...who in fact created Legislation to make sure no one can have access to it? would you trust a candidate who admits that He will "do and say anything to get elected" as he said yesterday? if you "trust" Mccain, well i have a really pretty bridge i can sell you.

I heard Obama saved a group of children from a burning building with one of his speeches....

When will he debate McCain????? Can't do that.... then he would have to think on his feet and face real questions from real people..... Might as well gave the same tired speech of promises that can never be delivered.... But keep it up, the more you give the same speech, instead of answer the REAL question the more people begin to see right through your speech....

Anyone BUT O'dumba

Remember who has had the house and senate for 2 years and has taken the country from prosperity to a pile of crap... GET A CLUE

Remember who has had the house and senate for 2 years and has taken the country from prosparity to desaster... GET A CLUE

McCain is lying about Obama's energy and tax plans. He is running a dishonorable campaign and is not worthy of the presidency.

So they can deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies.

right mccain?

Who cares about this election? We all know that middle america and the rust belt is never going to vote for an african american. The media will never allow a president that doesn't fall in with the corporate bottom line since the large corporations own most media outlets.

We'll be stuck in republican wars for alteast another 4 years. We'll get our off shore drilling and our gas will continue to go up and our environment will still be in decline. McCain will get his $6,000 health care credit so our jobs won't offer health care any long and we'll be on our own (considering is costs $12,000 a year to insure a family of 3), but Wall Street will become stronger. So the media outlets will portray our economy to be in good shape.

i think that we need too get 2 more people and start this over causes mccain and obama are acting like a 2 year old

How is it Obama gets grief for being a great speaker? That's a huge plus for anyone. Yet Hillary Clinton and John McCain pick at it like its a bad quality. Doesn't everyone get it? The only way they can bring Obama down is by criticising his strenghts? HIS STRENGHTS!! See through the smear folks, Obama is a good, honest and humble man.

McCain, The Educational System needs to be improved-throughout. American's deserve no less.

Why are you asking American's to Discriminate our School Systems?

Okay, so now we progressive, understanding, kind McCain. Who's he going to take out of the box next? I rather like psycho-temperamental-impatient McCain, myself. At least that's the devil we know.

Yeah...

What would the silent DNC and the anti-Hillary Media have said or done if the sexism were racism: pick my cotton, shine my shoes...?

They would have been all over it. Obama gave a speech about racism. Clinton never spoke out about the hate and bias shown her. She just kept going. That is why we love her.

But that does NOT make the Media and DNC sexism and disrespect towards Hillary and rapid defense of Obama RIGHT.

The DNC was wrong. The Media was wrong.

That bias against Hillary is now helping McCain- they can not now pull that crap against HIM without being challenged.

So now Obama the chosen, installed, selected candidate will fail due to the propaganda that propelled him to a false lead and a false sense of support.

It was NEVER there- the propaganda campaign for Obama created that myth of widespread support and the media played it up. IF OBAMA had that support the votes would have shown it. Even discounting Fl and Mi- Obama barely had a lead. Factor in the advantages that all the anti-Hillary bias gave his campaign- he did not have much support from the people at all.

Sarcasm in 3......2......1.........."I am not sure about this Jindal fella. Aren't his parents from India? Does that mean Jindal is a Hindu that worships cows? He says he is not but that last name makes him seem so......unAmerican."

Sarcasm over.

I'll take socialism (democracy) over facism (coproratocracy) any day.

Please pick Jindal. The same racists that think Obama is a Muslim will think the same about Jindal. Then he will have to prove he isn't a Muslim and didn't swear in on the Koran.

What a hypocrite McCain is.

He claims all that Obama can do is deliver a great speech, but no ideas, solutions or answers. So what does McCain do? Delivers a bad speech that is off-topic and mostly critical of his opponent.

He Presented No Ideas Of His Own.

I don't care for Jindal. Everyone knows about the cast system in India, and he probably believes in that subconsciously. And let’s be honest, if there were not Barack, do you honestly think McCain would pick Jindal—NO. McCain isn’t fooling anyone.

No to Jindal and no to McCain.

Our country can do better, much better.

As a citizen of the State of Louisiana, I beg John McCain to pick Bobby Jindal and that way we can get a Democrat in the Governor's mansion.

Why the hell does everyone think the Republicans are pushing hard for offshore drilling all of a sudden? Because the Bush term is almost over! They are getting desperate. Don't fall for their scams.

I watched the Senate debate on oil yesterday and the Democrats introduced at least 3 bills to try to help lower gas prices and the Republicans said no each time because their bill did not include offshore drilling.

So this is it. If the Republicans cannot have offshore drilling they will block each and every energy bill that will help bring down gas prices or help to create alternative energy sources. This is there strategy.

Don't fall for it. They are scam artists. How many times to they have to prove before people quit falling for these Rebublican lies. All they really care about is Big Oil and Big Corporations.

Isn't it funny that John McCain received $1 million dollars from Texas oilmen right after he changed his position on offshore drilling. Hmmmm. If that's not obvious I don't know what is.

Helllooo?? Did the citizens of Loisiana already forget about Katrina?? The Republicans were in charge when the victims of Katrina were ignored and were treated with this great injustice! What did McCain do for those victims during that time? Hugghhhh?????? Now they want their votes?? Helloooo??? Wake up people!!

Oh please pick Bobby Jindal for your VP.

Obama 08!!!

Where are McCain's proposals? What are his positions? All we ever hear from him are slams against Obama. And all McCain has done lately is give speeches too – he hasn't been in the Senate since April. If he can't handle the campaign and his real job at the same time, how can he be an active leader? If he can't communicate his own proposals without misleading attacks on his opponent, why should we vote for him? He's right that Obama has been giving great speeches – filled with specific proposals and ideas about moving our country forward. Why is McCain incapable of doing the same?

I posted this under another article and as usual no one responded. I am not being smart. I just want to see the other side of this. I am sure that I have a different view from where i stand.

August 1st, 2008 10:48 am ET

So Obama wants to make company's pay $3 per hour more and increase the taxes that they pay lowering the amount of money they can make or spend on advertising or any other way of growing a business.

Can some one please explain how this will help create jobs. This is one business oner that dose not under stand or agree at all with what Obama is trying to do.

Someone please explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No really Explain It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re-play the MSNBC coverage and CNN coverage and you will see the anti-Hillary and pro-Obama bias shown by all pundits every night.

Learn this: racism and sexism are BOTH bad.

The DNC and the Media quickly decried any comment as racism (even those that weren't) to advance Obama and ignored all the OBVIOUS sexist comments against Hillary- and actually piled on the sexism themselves.

He told Fox News? Do you mean the Hannity express?
Of all the moderators out there Hannity is a disgrase to the profession.
To be fair, Lou Dobbs sits right nexy to him. Dobbs is a rabble monger while there is no adjective to describe Hannity except maybe retarded idiot

Jindal may very well be the best choice for McCain. Jindal's problem is that McCain is definitely not the best choice for Jindal.

Once again, John McCain only attacks Obama and doesn't talk about what he's going to do. Also, I don't understand the criticizism that he speaks well aside from tyhe fact that McCain is a horrible speaker? He also has solutions. If he didn't then what is it that McCain's always atttacking....

Wow, he did mention Katrina! How about that? Kind of a risky topic for the repugs for, you know, screwing over the blacks and all.

I don't think Jindal will be the VP, he looks to ...... terrorist for the RNC. Probably speaks terrorist too.

I'm so disappointed in John McCain. He seemed like such an honorable guy but has fallen to typical politician status. His recent ads are disgusting - from him or any candidate. That puts him in the same category as Bush now ... when he comes on the TV, I change the channel.

Can the man open his mouth without trash talking his opponent? Let's hope no one asks him to speak at their graduation or wedding.

Vote for McCain if you prefer a fascist.
Vote for Obama if you prefer a socialist.

OR cut the crap and vote for either a Republican or a Democrat.

He is helping the man to the white house.

Not buying it, and Jindal will NEVER be McCain's VP. He's just trotting him out to combat the discussion on race. To change the subject from mean spirited to hopeful.

He's using this man to gain more votes. His real choice is Romney.

Obama 08

I hope Bobby Jindal reconsiders. It's about time for us to get a good CREATIONIST in office again. No more of this "evolution, blah, blah, the earth is billions of years old" stuff. The earth is about 6,000 years old. When our leaders start preaching the truth, the people will follow.

please please please pick jindal so we can stick a fork in your campaign already! hahaha mccain's an idiot.
