Well, the lines are being more clearly drawn in the sand these days and die-hard status quo types will probably be there in better numbers for McCain. But he won't come close.......

This goes to show that the celebrity ads were about jealousy, as well as the obvious attempt to knock Obama down as many knotches as they could. McCain only hoped to be able to draw in the same number, and since he could not, came out with these ads. Now he is trying to show momentum in his court.

His bloodletting about evil at the Saddleback Church should be enough for authentic Christians to see through. His stance against abortion while adopting embrionic stem cell research and trying to warm his base up to a pro-choice candidate should be easy enough for authentic Christians to see through.

And I have never played Dungeons and Dragons!!!!!!!! Keep trying to insult the intelligence/Christianity of the Obama base!

I love these maps, which always show strong Democrat support in the areas with large welfare populations, and Republican support in areas where people actually work for a living. Look at 2000 and 2004 Presidential election maps by county, rather than by state, and you'll see how dramatic it is. Had the Founding Fathers granted electoral votes by county, rather than by state, perhapsthe United States would not have advanced so far on the road to socialism.

Yeah that's a real winner of a candidate – working so hard and spending all that money to only draw a maximum of 3,000 people to a rally. Real inspirational McSame. Enjoy losing 60/40 in November.

In this economy, with an on-going war, if 100,000 people throughout all of Ohio can't change their minds, they get what they deserve. Unfortunately, the rest of us have to suffer with the results of that decision as well.

If the nation is so cosely divided between republicans and democrates, think of it a 5 or 6 point lead is a big deal. Instead of asking why not a bigger lead, ask why Maccain is no closer than 6 points and it'll only get worst the closer we come to election.

Rick helped John get the townhall meeting he wanted. Since Barack is the front runner, he didn't have to oblige John anything.

John McCain is a wealthy, cad-loser who ditched his first wife to marry Cindy Lou the Barbie beer bimbo. He also left his kids in the process. Now that John's wealthy, everything comes easy to him.

So the thought of Barack turning him down for his request to have 10 townhall meetings did not sit well. So he and his buddy Rick got together and approached Barack. Bingo, they got the publicity that they would never have had, if Barack didn't show, and McCain got his 15 minutes in the spotlight. All is well in GOPland. Or is it?

Barack supporters were not fooled by this charade. We applaud Barack for going in the lion's den and showing McCain, Warren and the world, that he will talk to all enemies, both foreign and domestic.

If I were a Republican I'd go to Ohio too. They are really good about voting against their self interests. They ignore the facts and "pretend" they are as wealthy as their Republican friends (like Phil- stop-whining-Gramm). Reagan convinced them that everything would trickle down, and all Ohioans got was dirty water.

I live in the state of Ohio and John McCain is being very competitive in Ohio and very well could (and will in my opinion carry the state). So what if 15,000 isn't as large of crowd as say Barack and the 70,000 in Oregon...oh wait he went at intermission of a rock concert, hmmmmm.

And for the person who said that he would be lucky to get 500 in Ohio, I went to a rally of his in my hometown in Ohio and it was standing room only. That means a whole heck of a lot more than 500.

McCain '08!!!

It amazes how the MSM attempts to speak for the Christian community. I happen to be Chrisitian and I am voting for BARACK OBAMA... My morals will not allow me to support John Mccain.

The man is a warmonger and surrounds himself with greedy people. He is NOT an ethical man and he will stoop to any level to win. How hypocritical of the Evangelical Right to support this man when has proven himself to be an outright LIAR! This man claims to be a Godly man but yet he offers him wife up to compete in a dishonorable constest and finds it amusing... The argument he did not know is unacceptable. He knew what he was doing. He is desperate and will do say anything to win...

Go OBAMA!

Since you research your candidates, no seems to be able to answer this question about your candidate Barack Obama, what is his health care plan?

P.S Please do not tell me to look at his website, Do you the educated voter know his plan?

He might get his 15,000... but 15,000 what?

It'll either be 15,000 lobbyists and paid attendees, or 15,000 crickets chirping, or a combination of both.

I guess McCain has to spend his remianing money somewhere, I guess $100 for every homeless and street person might get you 5000 or so. Then he can bring everyone from a nursing home's medical ward in. Still don't know how he's gonna get 10,000 or 15,000. Maybe he's going to bid his wife out, or at least have her do a wet T-Shirt contest....still gonna be hard.

McCain 08 is our only choice!

I thought the far right-wing was bad until the far left-wing DNC and the Obama Camp revealed their dark side!

Now I am an Independent who will vote for McCain 08.

Thank God for Rick Warren!

In the Saddleback Forum, Obama demonstrated his total inability to give a straight or decisive answer except for his ridiculous supreme court mis-step. He almost said CT was too inexperienced but his eventual answer was worse!

He equivocated big time on abortion, evil..., and I wouldn't want to rely on Michelle or Obama's grandmother as advisors.

Obama was pathetic at the RW Forum but McCain was awesome!

Poor attention-starved McCain. My heart bleeds.

It would be nice if he could come up with something substantial, rather than the light-weight news bits he spews. I really noticed that at the Saddleback get-together. Obama gave reasoned and reasonable answers. McCain made jokes and news bites. I really don't think McCain could say anthing substantial or reasonable to save his life.

Sad.

Pew Polls: June, Obama up by 8. July Obama up by 5. August, Obama up by 3. Obamatorons, be afraid, be very afraid. Your amatuer hour candidate's 15 minutes are just about up. Saturday night showed he can't even answer a question without a teleprompter. Obama looked like a deer in the headlights. Let's get George Stefanopolis to ask some tough questions in the debates, and Obama will be crying for his typical white person grandma.

Why do you think McCain was so pissed when Obama refused to do the joined town hall meetings?

McCain thought he could corner Obama to doing the town hall meetings together but Obama wised up and realized all McCain wanted Obama to do for him was to bring in the crowds that McCain’s never able to muster.

McCain may have some early success with his rallies, but I think Ohio would consider swinging to Obama if Evan Bayh is his VP choice. I think Bayh can appeal to the centrists who are unsure of Obama and get them to the polls. I think Bayh holds an appeal for the blue collar crowd in Ohio, unlike Obama, Biden or Richrdson.

High taxes, loss of liberty, foreclosures, huge national debt, one party started the war in Iraq, the other is keeping us there, lack of personal responsibility, crime fueled by the war on drugs (a non-ending war like the war on terrorism, meant to keep us fearful), Both voted for FISA to allow government surveillance of you and me.

McCain can do what Hillary did in the primary – bus campaign people in from all over. At one of her events, there were cars and busses with out of state plates in the parking lot.
