Change scares the hell out of some people.

That's why Obama will win, BUT that's why Obama could lose.

Some people would rather stay miserable than to think, MAYBE there is a better way.

You idiot Obama- I live in Illinois and you are responsable for some of the highest tax rises in our state- I hope you lose because of it.

Stupid elitist...

this is fantistic Love it!

If McCain is so outraged by Hillary being snubbed why don't he make it up to her and choose her as his VP. But he won't do that because he is a disingenuous person who only wants to flame the fires of controversey. He could give a rats you know what about Hillary and all you PUMA idiots know it. One more thing if McCain felt so sorry for Hillary as you say (and of course he never, never, never lie) you pay off her debt that will show you are really sincere. We will hold our breath Ok.

Look at those folds in Mccain's neck... DNC special computer effects. Did they say Hillary's ad made Obama darker. They all are birds of same feather – repubs or dems.

Here is food for thought!

8 years – Regan – Bush
4 years – Bush Sr. – Cheney
8 years – B. Clinton – Gore
8 years Bush Jr – Cheney

Isn't it time for a change? There has been a Bush or a Clinton in the Oval Office for the last 28 years.

I think it is time to get away from the Politics that brought us to where we are now.

CNN = Clinton News Network

keep on with the adds. Mcsame sure will..........Go Obama/Biden '08.

If Mr. McCain is so much more prepared to deal with foreign policy than Mr. Obams...tell me if he has figured out the status of Checkeslovokia yet?
Even after being told of this ignorant error, he proceeded to repeat the senile statement the next day.
Some of you so called Dems and Reps will prove the statement that a white american will support anyone before supporting a even a half black man, with a white mother. So go out and support an ignorant, senile, rich, wife cheater because he is not black, over an intelligent bi-racial man that cares about including everyone in the process of healing this country.
I have more respect for the sheet wearing klan than I do for you pseudo-intellectual closed clone racist. Some of them, ignorant as they are too, are at least honest enough to not hide their true feelings.
So get ready for a black president in the white house. Perhaps some of you will attempt to succeed some land away from the usa and start a new country. That is the way you go about doing things

So Obama's the agent of change. Not going to run the same old negative campaign as seen in the past. Look's like he doesn't know the difference in the high road and the gutter. McCain in November!!!

MCSAME dont know nothing but how to aatck Obama I want to hear the real issue not what Hillary said in the primary, the American people want to know how you going to fix Bush problems.

Obama/Biden 08

If the dems want to trash Romney if he's chosen as VP then all Mccain needs to do is air ads with every single negative thing Biden has said about obama's inexperience. they are being quite tame with him right now. it doesnt matter as Mccain is a strong person and is ready for presidency, Romney will add something to the mccain ticket, including pleasing the conservative base (mccain pleases the independents).

Hillary Clinton preaching Unity. What does she know? She lost her chance. So she needs to take the back seat. No one is interested in hearing any more of anything that she has to say. She needs to keep her big mouth shut.

I find it difficult to believe that the Democratic party, after a Republican administration that essentially destroyed everything in and about America, is screwing up this election to the point where anyone would even remotely consider a continuance of Republican so-called leadership. Truthfully, neither party has offered a candidate who looks like he could "change" anything. Same old, same old.....where are the intelligent, knowledgeable, patriotic, honest, credible candidates which these parties should be proud to present to the citizens of America??? Are there none??? Oh well, I'll just sit back and listen to each party denegrate the other until someone wins the election....then, we'll hear how everyone is supporting the winner. Meanwhile, the U.S. will continue on its downward slide toward oblivion.

Comments have been closed on the other blog, so here goes on that one.....Bill better get over himself....REMEMBER back in 92 it was a three way race...some guy by the name of Ross took enough votes away from George H to hand the election to Bill. I don't think Bill could have won that one on his own. Ponny up Bill and get behind Obama or get the hell out of the party!

If you want your sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters to
be drafted, and probably go to war with Russia, If you want your daughters, nieces and granddaughters to have to go into nasty apartments and have some HACK take a wire hanger and preform illegal abortions (God forbid), as was done in the late 1950's early 1960's, then McCain is your man. Yes Old Cows, (OH.... I mean PUMAS), VOTE FOR McCain to be YOUR NEXT president. GO RIGHT AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some of us already know how to survive in extremely rough times
which will come if McCain becomes president, and YOUR HILLARY'S
POLITCAL CAREER WILL BE OVER!!!!!!!. AND SOME OF YOU LADIES WERE CHILDREN OF THE 1960'S??????? NOT SO MUCH

I like it. Completely true and no overtly mean or dirty.

CNN = Anti-Obama.

Always overhyping anti-Obama sentiments.

No wonder. This guy doesn't know Economics, doesn't know how many homes he owns, doesn't know how many people are getting killed in Iraq, doesn't know the difference between Shia and Al Queda, doesn't know what's going on in Afghanistan ??
WHAT DOES HE KNOW??
Foriegn Policy – No foreign nation has respect for this guy, they don't want him anywhere near them. How can his policy be better??
All he know's is how to start a war in an other poor country and kill thousands of people, while American soldier lifes are lost at the same time..he and his sidekicks will be making money out of contracts.
Fellow Americans : You vote for McCain..You really deserve to Loose your job, your home, your car, your American Dream – cause you are choosing it
OBAMA (2008 -16)

When McCain picks Romney as his VP, there will be no more talk of this as Romney knows more about the economy/finance than pretty much any candidate out there. And, he even has experience to back up what he says, unlike someone else we all know.

CNN = Anti- Obama.

Tacitly urging resentments from Hillary supporters towards Obama and helping McCain to jump into it.

Shame on you CNN. You will fail again in your intentions as you did during the democratic primaries.

I dare you to publish this comment.

Great Ad!!!!!!! ...and from McSame's own mouth. Gotta Love It!

Hey McCain unlike the attack ads that you run on Obama this comes out of your own big mouth.
Obama/ Biden '08

the Hilliary'ssupporters that are going to vote for Mccain is throwing women's rights right out the window. Iam a women and I am going to fight for my rights. I pray that Obama win this elections!!!

CNN = anti-Obama.

Tacitly urging anti-Obama sentiments from Hillary's supporters and helping McCain to jump into it. Shame again to you, CNN. Your intentions will fail as it did during the democratic primaries.

I dare you to publish this comment.

Lisa–

It's not "he's supporters are so dumb".
It's "HIS supporters are so dumb".

And you wonder why we have grown tired of the antics of the right-wingers on these blogs.

Obama/Biden!

To Lisa

You're an idiot. The VP was posted because someone leaked the story, not because the Obama campaign somehow tried to trick its supporters. Why don't you go line up with the other idiotic conservatives who are voting for McCain. The conservative movement is one of anti-intellectualism and stupidity. If our nation goes down the tubes, it'll be because of people like you.

puma from 1:33, the difference is that Mrs. Obama didn't say that she'd vote for McCain.
Quite frankly, I believe that she would have voted for Clinton.
More specific to the issue, though, is that it was clear by that time that Senator Obama had the delegate advantage that he needed to secure the nomination and the only "realistic" way of Clinton gettin ghte nomination owould have been by some otherwordly means. So, in the heat of the moment, a good spouse is going to DEFEND their spouse to the end. Which is what, by the way, President Clinton did with Hillary. But at NO POINT did Michelle suggest she'd vote against the Democrat.
Recognize, either Obama or McCain will be sworn in on Jan 20, 2009. No one else. You choose, because in fact, Obama has done better than Kerry in EVERY category – women, men, whites, Latin American, Asian Americans, African Americans, and all other Americans, protestants, catholics, old, young, northerns, southerners, east and west, Independents and my good friend, republicans.
Notice the one demographic that I left out? Yep, those silly Democrats. Thiselection, and your priorities are there for the taking. You can walk through the buffet line and get what you want, or you can sit in the back and take what the kitchen dishes out to you. And, considering that in 2005, McCain voted with President Bush 77% of the time, in 2006 95% of the time and 2007 100% of the time, that dish, "my friends" ain't gonna tast good as the last 8 years have shown.

**LISA: He doesn't even have a health care plan.**

Ignorance must be bliss!! The ONLY difference between Obama's health care plan and Hillary's is HIS DOESN'T FORCE YOU TO BUY IT!! It's ignorance like yours that loses Democrats elections...."Just because Hillary didn't run a campaign as good as Obama. Does not mean she would not become a better President than him"????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? You are either monutenally ignorant, stupid OR BOTH!!!

McCain and probably Romney do know a lot about ecoomics: Economics for the Rich. Conversely, they don't need to know about economics for the poor–they just don't have much.

Ask the people who have lost or are losing their homes: How many houses do you have? One, the one I am losing! They remember ...

Ernie

If I were the Clintons, I would agree to whatever, then get up there and do and say exactly what I want!

These people are simply awful. Is the way they think they can "run" the United States????

I'M A HILARY CLINTON SUPPORTER WHO WILL VOTING FOR OBAMA AND WILL NEVER, NEVER VOTE FOR ANY REPUBLICANS!!

MCSAME IS WRONG FOR AMERICA, REPUBLICANS ARE WRONG FOR AMERICA. DEMOCRATES NEED TO COME OUT IN DROVE AND VOTE ALL REPUBLICANS OUT.

THEY'VE MESSED UP THE ECONOMY, OUR FOREIGN POLICY RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR ALLIES, OUR HOUSING MARKET.

REPUBLICANS HAVE TO GO!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 & 2012

Wow Charlotte how do you know that? Have you talked to everybody? what a stupid thing to say, but wait that's what i expect from Mc old geeser's supporters.

Obama

INTERESTING! BO just pick up a VP who said," his networkth is $75,000 to $150,000".. wow!,.... if that is his net worth, that I wouldn't want him doing anything with our ….Economics ….. Or maybe that just don't know what the definition of ….Economics is.

Here is a Senator for over 30 years, and his "Net Worth is less them $150,000.00. Come on "Wake UP!!!!!!, This is just another way of blowing smoke to the public, to make them think that Joe is just like the average tax payers.
Sorry I am not buying it, and neither are many Democrats who are voting for McCain. no I am not a puma!!!!!

Well he sure put out a great Plan, that's why I am voting for him, his Plan makes sense. I did initially vote for Clinton, but I still may have changed my vote from Clinton to McCain once I understood John McCains Economy Plan. We cant rob the Piper to pay Peter, becuase the Piper will move out of USA and the Jobs will be gone, that's the Democrat Plan.

Dermocrat voting Republican in California

CNN every time I speak on the child of McCain out of wedlock my comments do not get posted... this is information I received from Bush 2000 primaries .... gee you could be bias? I will try this again though and not speak of McCain illigitiment child....

Obama ads speaks the truth vs McCains lies.... the thing is Amreica be careful... the repugs are the master of sprading lies over, and over again.... i.e. they will say a lie, and every one of their backers will stay on point and repeat the lie because they thing us dumb Americans will take it for the truth .... please we are not that dumb?????

Obama 08

Lisa, you sound like a fool. Hillary is the most selfish woman in the world. Obama will run circles around Hillary Clinton because he has common sense. It seems that her supporters who wish to pretend to be blind refuse to accept the fact that you can be vetted for the VP spot when you are still holding on to the chance of becoming the president. Hillary does not care of the Democrats win the white house because it would not affect her millions. Don't let skin color fool you, Obama and Biden will be no joke for America.

Obama/Biden08 and beyond.

Can you say: OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AVG. AMERICAN!!!!

You cannot dispute words that came out of the horses mouth when McCain said it himself. However, it shouldn't be news to anyone because when McCain was asked by he cheated on his ex-wive he replied he didn't know why; when asked what is considered rich he replied $5 million dollars a year or more; when asked how many houses he owns he replied he'd need to check with his staff. McCain doesn't know too much at all because his personal well being is in tact while most Americans lives are in economic shambles.

How would he have looked without that facelift?? Gee – look at his neck!!

CNN please post this:

The sad truth is that us Hilary Supporters are not voting for Obama because we are upset Hilary didnt win. We are not voting for Obama because HES NOT READY! I can't vote Democratic (even though I am one) to vote in a nobody that has no experience to lead this great nation. Unfortunately the DNC did this to themselves. We can afford 4 more years of BUSH. But we can't afford 4 years of an unexperienced leader of the free world. I can't in good concious go with my party on this. I can't. Sorry.

I thought Obama was a much more mature man thinking about being a leader Of our country. Well, looks like he is still playing those little immature school games. Can't we have any true leaders in this country. This is the most obsured election we hav ever had in the years of elections I have seen. NASTY NASTY POLITICS. Will get you no place in the end. You may Lose.

August 25th, 2008 2:45 pm ET

It's about time. It is interesting, when Obama does the same thing McCain has been doing for months the rightees start crying like a bunch of babies. All of a sudden they don't want attack ads. I look fortward to Obama turning the tables on the lying, cheating, two-face McCain.
------------------------------
I agree. I have heard several of the McCain surrogates over the weekend say that it is time to get to the issues and stop with the negativity. After all of their stupid tricks they are now wanting it to stop. They have so much nerve to think that they can spread their lies when they want to and then give advise on when it should stop. I can not believe that even republicans are voting for republicans this time around,.

Boy, those polls sure make you nervous, Barry. I guess you'll say just about ANYTHING.

Who taught you economics? REZKO??

Cute ad, should get some laughts. Is that all you got Obama?

McCain has been going easy on Obama so far. This thing is just getting started.

I wonder in Obama's documentary will they bring up….wright, flagerty, black liberation theology, william ayres….etc….etc….

After all – this is the true man…and it should be known.

See it and weep, McCain campaign, because the truth hurts. You are collectively so out of touch with the everyday strugglrs of the average working American it's criminal. To even consider more tax cuts for the wealthy and continuing subsidies for the piggish oil companies is a slap in the face of every wage-earner whose wages and buying power have stayed frozen or dropped during the Bush years. McCain and company, you should be ashamed of yourselves! If you DID know anything about eceonomics, you'd be campaigning for OBAMA!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 AMD '12!!!

Bob Indianapolis, IN August 25th, 2008 2:41 pm ET

SAME YOU CAN BELIEVE IN….

Best post I have seen. Obama represents the idea of change, not the action of change. People need to realize that in 1900 England was the true world power. In 2000 it was the US. That doesn not guarantee that in 2100, or 2050, or even 2010 the US will be the world power. Other countries have a say in that. To blame all of our current problems on Bush soley is wrong. Include Cheney and Rove, but dont forget Reid and Pelosi too. We are nothing if we arent together. Dont toe a party line, do what is right to you. But if you really expect change by one individual or party you are kidding yourself.

BOOOOOOOM!

This is the kind of ad I've been waiting for Obama to run. Enough "positive" campaigning, it's time to take the gloves off and go straight to the heart of why McCain winning this election is a terrible thing for America.

Hopefully the next ad shows how McCain's foreign policy "strength" is really a disaster for America. And the countries he wants to bomb.

This ad is 4-5 months TOO LATE!!! Obama and the Dems should have run this in a contionuos loop since it first came out his mouth! Imagine if Barrack had said that he doesn't know much about the economoy or foreign policy; you see how the GOP spins loops from his opponents bashing him for political gain. My biggest complaint with Barrack is that I feel he is holding back punches; he doesn' t have to fight dirty or use personal/character attacks but he has plenty of firepower when it comes to the issues to hit McCain with hard. He should have stomp on his throat from day one and kept him on the matt; now he has let McCain make this election all about questioning Barrack ability and character. Honestly for a man with all the "experience" that McCain has, why can't he use that to sell his product than just bash his opponent? Maybe he doesn't have anything worth selling!

I stay with McCain one day than Obama 4 years. He is arrogant,big mouth blow hard man. NO HRC –no Obama.

voter August 25th, 2008 1:32 pm ET

you don't say. Can't be. McCain is so brillant that he believes our economy is fine despite thousands of jobs being sent overseas and people losing their homes. We are nothing but a nation of whiners and have a mental recession. (sigh). Maybe the person who has psychological probelms is McCain in insulting the intelligence of others as though we are crazy. We are not imaging the economic recession. McCain is imagining that czech exists as well as the cold war. get it together man.
****************************************************************************
Check your facts McCain did not say any of those things. Nation of whiners, mental recession, that was not McCain. The Czech Republic dose exist and any annalist would tell you that McCain had the right line when dealing with Russia. Was this a poor attempt at spin or are you an idiot?

Ps, the song ,LMAO . Now that is the way you poke fun at another candidate. I am a republican and even I think that is funny.It stretches the truth a bit but I like it.

Love it. Obama, when he hits, he hits on things that matter like the economy. All the while McCain runs Paris Hilton ads and tries to win by splitting the democrat party. That's sad my friends, that's sad.

Some not so astute person said:
"Latinos for Obama – it has to be fake but I am Latino and I am sure not Obama! I am also a registered Democrat and a member of PUMA. PUMA is not Republican people its 18 million voters that voted for Hillary"

Would you, as a latino, be interested in knowing that Mr. McBigot said a Hispanic person is only good for cheap labor? Tha't about one or two steps above an indentured servant. Not very enlightened are you?

If you are rich enough to have loved the last 8 years, the vote for McCain and enjoy the next FOUR!!!
Or VOTE OBAMA!!!

Politico reported that Cindy McCain, Carol McCain and Roberta McCain handle the finances in their families because the men couldn't. So not only is John spending his wife's money, he can't even count what she DOES give him.

Just remember Hillnuts, if you are perceived as costing Obama the election, your heroine has no chance in 2012. You're not getting back control of the Democratic Party.

I'm sorry ...so angry at these Pumas I can even type.

Rephrased:

Come on...I dare you to explain what Barack did that was so much worse than the way McCain insulted Chelsea.

Wow, I cannot believe, and actually am quite embarresed for those Clinton supporters who now want to vote for Mcain out of spite b/c she either didn't win or Obama failed to consider her for the ticket. Even though they're platforms are almost exactly the same. The republican party is playing you like puppets and it's actually working. Kudo's for them i guess. Too bad for us because we will have another 4 years of misery thanks to you guys.

Thanks bitter Clinton supporters !!!! Nice Values !

By the way, why isn't McCain doing better in the polls when he had a 3 month head start? Barack and the Dems should be very proud of themselves.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I just read on MSNBC.com that Hillary and Obama are still working on how the roll call will be during this convention and quite frankly I am utterly appalled! Will absolutely no one let Hillary finish anything!!??! They want a limited roll call, allowing only SOME delegates to vote for Hillary and STOP the roll call when, perhaps, New York State is called to cast their delegate votes and then have Hillary delcaring the votes unamiously (sp?) go to Obama. Are the Obama people so afraid of Hillary that they have to stop short the roll call? Do they really really believe to let the roll call end when all of our states are called that Hillary would have enough delegate votes to steal the nomination from Obama? No, no, no, I cannot in all of my entire being find a reason why to cast a vote for Obama. What a disgrace.

Unless you want a president who voted with McBush NINETY FIVE PERCENT of the time, there is only one choice: Barack Obama.

AWESOME ad... perfectly done. yet how does this mock McCain if it's something he has said?!?! i hate how CNN labels Obama's ads as Attack, or Negative ads when they tell the truth... while on McCain ad headlines, it simply reads McCain camp releases new ad. it's giveing the book cover a bad image while the story reads differently. Think about this CNN... i know you're owned by major corporate suits (ref: manchurian candidate) but please; let's be un-biased. you were against OBAMA in the primaries, now the show as well. What a sham this news network has become!!!!!

BUSH = MCCAIN
MCCAIN = BUSH

mcsame is so dumb that he has to attack sen obama with a biden and hillarys' ad. he wants to make sure the attention is on sen obama, because he has no SUBSTANCE. SURGE AND WAR, SURGE AND WAR. this is exactly what america deserve if they vote for that lame old horse.

PUMAS , PUMAS , PUMAS , PUMAS , PUMAS ,

I so sick of you people. If any one you have the guts or intelligence to clearly explain how most of you are voting for McCain after he said that "chelsea is so ugly because her dad is janet reno"

Come I dare you explain to my how whatever you think Barack did is much worth and he shouldn't receive your support ...but rather vote for the old creepy guy

To Brian:

I totally agree- Is every John McCain failing going to be excused away with this tired old "I was a POW" chestnut? General Clark was right-

Great ad, by the way.

This man's campaign is a joke. And the Hillary ads are even more sickening. Hillary played political roulette when she decided to call Obama unfit for the presidency. That was disgraceful, and now we are seeing why. However, McCain is pathetic bringing this up now. Why you may ask? Because if Hillary had been the dem nominee, the republican smear machine would have destroyed her ten times over. It is ironic that they now quote her. This is why Hillary's behavior during the primaries p.o.'d so many democrats. Why don't her supporters get this?

Correction re: previous posting - I meant 99% of those serving in the US military DO NOT come from a highly successful military family with both a father and grandfather who are very senior military men like McCain does.

I have been listening to many people in the media really giving Hillary a hard time today.
They all know what she feels...think....plan.....scheme.......you name it and she is guilty. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear how these well known media reporters try to "lead" their guests into saying what they want to hear.
Hillary is a good democrat even after being treated poorly by her own party.

We are going with McCain because we don't want a rock star.
It is Obama and his arrogance that is the deterent.
The disrespect shown to Hillary is part of the reason also.
And, in my opinion, McCain knows more about the economy than Obama who is untested and relatively new.

Richard said:
"...McCain 2008! A True American."

Rich, true Americans don't collaborate with the enemy. I am a Viet Nam veteran and this accusation would not be thrown around lightly. McTrader can easily clear all this up by releasing his service records, which so far he has refused to do. I wonder why.

McTalker = aka, Songbird......

You may call Obama supporters dumb, but every study has shown that the more educated segment of the electorate strongly favored Obama over Hillary...

PUMA August 25th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

I just want to remind everyone who is criticizing Clinton backers who are voting for McCain that Michelle Obama – with her message of unity tonight – was quoted saying that she "would have to think about voting for Hillary" if she won the nomination. Thank God Pelosi set up Obama to win so Michelle could embrace it.

Hippocrits!

***************
And who are you calling a hypocrite? (by the way – check your spelling). Most of your people are voting for a guy that said "the reason Chelsea is so ugly is because her dad was Janet Reno" Oh yeah...you guys have the high ground for sure. Idiots one and all PUMAs

Wow CNN I am my comment is still waiting moderation?????

Now that's what I'm talking about Obama camp. Let's start blasting him on his positions. Now I know that Senator Obama wanted to keep it clean, but McCain took off the gloves. This is not an attack add, this is the truth. All the McCain camp can do is point out what others have said but nothing Obama has said himself, Why? Because Obama speaks from the heart, while McCain speaks from his staff i.e how many houses do you own? Now keep the pressure on Obama, he is a old tiger trying to survive in a new world. End his and Clinton's politcal dynasty. It's time for change folks and the next POTUS will bring it.

Nice Obama... (not going negative and all)... but to little too late...

McCains add showing Hillary saying he's more qualified that Obama was precious... perfect... and a work of art.

Obama is done... didn't even get a bounce announcing his VP...

Good thing Obama has a million dollar mansion in Chicago... he will be going back to it come November...

Hillary 2012

Hello@!! I'm 100 percent latina and my friends as well and we are 100 percent behind Obama!!!!!!!!!!
Puma ppl please get over yourself, we don't care anymore

Perfect. The democrats should get more aggressive and hit McCain hard with this kind of advertisements. He cannot complain much because he started the negative personal attack ads.

Ha! Truth well told! Check it out!

Wall Street supports the stability that an Obama presidency would spread across the nation and globe.

McCain does not have my support, or the support of major financial institutions. His economic views are an extension of the current administration's disasterous mismanagement. And no Mormon VP is going to change that!

Republicans for Obama

Please, will someone explain to me why, why are Clinton's followers' will not vote for Obama but will vote for McClain. What did Obama do to Hillary Clinton during the primary. To all Hillary's supporters out there, admit that you are a republican or is it because you see a black face. SHAME ON YOU LOSERS, IGNORANT, EVIL HYPERCRITS.

I would really like to hear about the issues. I think this is getting silly on both sides. But, unfortunately this is what the American public seems to want. When Obama tried to talk about the issues everyone called it rhetoric. Then when McCain went negative he went up in the polls (which is suspect). But the reallity of it is we the American public taught them how to sell themselves to us. I can guarantee you not one person on this blog can tell you what McCain stands for. See we have been brainwashed in America to think being tough is flashing muscles. Don't you remember when you where in school the one that was always threating everyone was just a wimp, but, the one that kept a level head all the time was the one you didn't want to see in a back alley.

So Obama does not act like the tough that we have shown all these years. Haven't we had enough of the reactionary politics. Just think about everytime you go and travel and all the stupid rules that are in place now that would actually stop nothing. Think about the idiot who thought of the color schemes. He looked at the crayon box and came up with that plan. But never gave any father information. And for a whole year the terror level was green, blue, red, or orange and no one ever said anything else after that. Because it was a fraud just like everything else in this Republican party. They try to act like they are the moral ones and they stick it too the people that vote for them everytime. The Republicans care about money and that's it.

Lisa in response to your hateful blog about Obama

You and the hot air you blow, use it for something useful like help hillary get out of debt by blowing some of your hot air to raise money for her. Wow you are sad and you need to get over it.

Obama Obama Obama!!!

Almost everybody knows more then Obama.

McCain and Romney a dream ticket? Two adulterers of a different kind. One cheats on his wife that waited for him while he was a POW, and the other has multiple wives. Talk about no family values.

I can't believe anyone actually thinks that McCain would choose Hillary. Besides the fact that he's trying to manipulate Clinton supporters, the religious right is having a hissy fit at the prospect that he might pick someone that is Pro Choice but agrees with him on every other issue. Hillary agrees with McCain on nothing.

What planet are you people living on?

Clinton has endorsed Obama and is working her butt off to make sure her supporters vote for him because SHE knows...this wise candidate you support so adamantly knows...that McCain would be a disaster for our Country and we MUST elect a Democrat.

Yes...it's time to attack back and give them a taste of their own medicine. Unfortunately too many voters only respond to this type of politics and don't have the capacity to understand an intelligent conversation. Go get him Obama!!!

McCain = Bush

IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID!!! Johnny boy is clueless beyond words....

"Oh, if Barry is going THERE, then Obama's "pay grade" is totally up for grabs."

Obama's "pay grade" comment was referring to him making the point that it is God's decision regarding conception and what is appropriate, not that he couldn't make a decision.

If you disagree that it is God's decision that matters alone when it comes to governing one's body then maybe your boss should lower your pay grade for being ignorant.

Reasonable Observer said, "perhaps Obama can look at what McCain actually stands for and attack that vs. the same, same, same, story." That's exactly what Senator Obama has and is doing; McCain DOES STAND FOR THE SAME FAILED ECONOMIC POLICIES OF THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, and it was McCAIN'S OWN WORDS THAT ADMITTED HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE ECONOMY. Have you looked around you? The economy is in the toilet based on Bush's failed policies, that McCain voted for 95% of the time. McCain and Bush are the same, same, same!!

Latinos for Obama – it has to be fake but I am Latino and I am sure not Obama! I am also a registered Democrat and a member of PUMA. PUMA is not Republican people its 18 million voters that voted for Hillary.

Well, he knows more than YOU do Obama, who has only actively been in Congress for One and One Half Years! HA, HA, HA!
You sound good, but you're really just not getting it are you?

Lisa said "Another thing, he's supporters are so dumb he promised them they would receive a text message who he would be selecting a Vice President first. Come to find out that was a lie, CNN posted the VP before his supporters even knew who it was."

Why was this a lie?

CNN broke the story by observing the actions of the Secret Service and broke the story before the Obama staff could send the message. There was no lying...except for your post that is.

ALL THESE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE COMMENTS OF REPUBLICANS. BEWARE DEMOCRATES.

It's about time. It is interesting, when Obama does the same thing McCain has been doing for months the rightees start crying like a bunch of babies. All of a sudden they don't want attack ads. I look fortward to Obama turning the tables on the lying, cheating, two-face McCain.

WAY TO GO, OBAMA !

The ECONOMY COUNTS..........BIGTIME!

When will Obama fess up that he knows nothing about economics?

McCain/Clinton '08! Two peas in a pod....same old Washington politics and only concerend about themselves....

MC CAIN VOTERS ARE VERY UNIFIED MOVING FORWARD WITH HOPE FOR A NEW PRESIDENT AND NEW CONGRESS, THAT WILL TAKE OFFICE NEXT NOVEMBER . SOME POLLS NATIONWIDE ARE WRONG, SAYING MC CAIN IS BEHIND THE REAL NUMBERS. HE IS VERY TRUSTED TO RUN THE NATIONWIDE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA///

It's sad, that this Election has come down to a "battle of ads"........... Each trying to sway voters minds, using negative images and more nagative rhetoric. America, I ask you.... where is the "Substance" to all this political madness!

This is my favorite ad so far!!!!!

I am glad to see Obama supporters are not going for all the hype that CNN is putting out there..When is the news media going to start telling the truth.those "so called Hillary supporters that are so disenchanted" are not Hillary supporters and this is another tactic by the Repugs to cause division within the party...if they were truly Clinton supporters they would be on the Obama train....what are they going to do after the convention when they find the Democrats have such a rhythm of unity going, which is what we will see..no way the polls are as close as they continue to show they are....keep on pushing Dems and we will win in the end as we are correct and right about what we are doing to bring our Country back together and rid it of the bad infection of Bush/Mcbush and company....Go Dems we will win...as there is no other way this Country can go but straight up....

Hillary supporter for McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain 2008! A True American!

Mrs. Independent-

I wish it were so but as usual, the corporate big money people are coming through with donations to the campaign fund at the RNC where you can give up to $28,500 each. McCain will have all the money he needs. The big difference is that for once the Democrats will be able to hold their own.

Talking about price of gasoline, MCCain can say, "Well, there were years when I didn't have any gasoline around." Talking about the economy, MCCain can say, "well, there were years when I didn't have any money." He can blame everything on the fact that we are much better off now than he was for 5 1/2 years. While I respect his service to our country, he cannot continue to use his POW years as an excuse for everything he says wrong.

I'm getting to the point of believing that these "so-called" Hillary supporters are not supporters of Mrs. Clinton or Democrats at all on these blogs. I believe they are "Republicans" trying to divide the Democratic party.

Democrats are very smart, intelligent, wise, and loving people. I can never believe that after 8 years of a Republican rule that an intelligent Democrat would vote for John McCain and continue to see this country go down the drain.

I'm no longer buying this. These are republicans on these blogs. Democrats, beware... don't get suckered into this.

SAME YOU CAN BELIEVE IN....

All the Repubs want to know about the complexity called economics is 1. Cut Taxes for the rich(est) and 2. Let all others eat cake.

Why the split of the Democrat party? why HRC supporters voting for McCain? Have you no convictions?! Vote for who you think is right for the country.

If you think Hillary is, write her in! That would send a message.
If you think Barr is, vote for him! That would send a message.
If you think Nader is, vote for him! That would send a message.
The Democrats and Republicans control the primaries and the conventions...they don't need signatures to get on the ballot. Break the stranglehold of power and exercise your RIGHTS! Two choices are not enough for the Presidency. What if you only had two choices for anything major in your life? would you accept it? Well, don't accept it for YOUR VOTE, and Your life for the next 4 years...

McCain may know some things, but he is choosing to go the way US oil and pharmaceutical industries want him to go. From what I can see, he would be on their payroll first, then the presidency gig – second. My vote is going to Obama.

Wow, I never knew the Clintons were so powerful. They have clout that is for sure, but the power to cost Obama the election? He is doing and has done a pretty good job of that all by himself. I get the impression he is tired of this whole process. Not as easy a run for POTUS, as State Senator or US Senator is it? The Obama-bots want to blame the Clintons everytime Obama flubs up. They are expected to babysit this guy? Teach him how to eat with a spoon rather then his fingers? They must bow and scrape for him? Hillary has bent over backwards to support him, I love the Clintons, but I don't like or trust Obama, and sure don't trust Michelle..I will write Hillarys' name on my ballot and let the chips fall where they may.

Lisa,

You are right that running a better campaign does not make one a better president. George W. Bush ran a better campaign than Al Gore, but that did not make him a better president than Gore might have been. But running a better campaign is necessary for becoming a president. Calling herself the inevitable nominee then losing the primary is not it.

Stop insulting the Obama supporters. We will remember the insult in 2012.

I don't think the Democrats and Obama want to wage battle against McCain on the experience front. That's an easy win for McCain. Here's the latest Obama byte from a speech in Chester, VA. Obama is showing off his obviously vast knowledge of foreign nations.

"Everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now in the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think Beijing looks like a pretty good option."

I liked the water cube and the bird'snest too, but I doubt the starving people in China would agree with his statement. Hmmmmm...

he seems to know enough that despite all the odds against him he is still even with Obama .and whats more he's doing it without riding MLK's or JFK'S coattails. trying to align himself with all the great people who went before him as is his habit, shows how shallow he is

ALL YOU PUMA'S ARE LOSERS AND YOU CAN ALL VOTE FOR MCSAME AND NO ONE CARES ABIT ACCEPT THE MEDIA MAYBE.

I can at least understand (but disagree with) voting for McCain because you would never vote for a Democrat, but anyone who thinks McCain is an appealing candidate and truly a good choice for the future of this country is certainly a misguided and deluded fool.

One wonders who will be surprised.

if Clinton supporters were real Democrats and there are so pumped up about her, how come 18 million people still can not raise her debt.People dont be fooled by CNN and the lot. me l am not buying any of this nonsense. these people were republicans most of them maybe 8-to 10 million of them were republicans. if not how come nearly 3 months she is still begging for money were are all her 18million. we are fed lies its all lies. the idea was to elect Hillary then bring her down when she won. that did not happen. They still had a chance to have her as a vp that didnt happen now they are left with nothing.ONLY a dumb person will buy this 18 million. it was all part of the plan.and that plan has fallen apart. thank God.

Unreal, The real difference is Obama's handlers use rhetoric and McCain uses Hillary's words. As an addition go back to the CBS debate where Joe Biden also say's that POTUS does not lend itself to on the job training and he would be honored to serve on a ticket with John McCain. Pathetic Democrats can't even keep their snippets straight for 6 months. Pathetic! Democrats had better prepare for November, an 11 point drop in 4 weeks and another 5 point drop AFTER he announces Biden as VP. When the curtain closes in November it will be all over but the crying.

It's not so much about what you know as what you do. McCain and his wife adopted a third world orphan while Obama's half-brother lives in a shanty in a third world nation. Obama met him in 2006 and has, evidently, been too busy to shell out a few bucks to help his brother out of poverty. Actions speak much louder than words. McCAIN 2008 !!!!!!

CNN could you please post this one?

Why is this ad towards the bottom of the ticker and the McCain ad is still at the top? CNN = McCain's Base

the beginning of the end for O. i love to dem infighting, you people are nasty!

If that's the best that Obama can come with,you have to wonder whether he really wants to win in November.What a lame-oh ad!

Nice add. Democrats unite!

He knows how to cheat on the wife and if he is willing to cheat on her he will cheat on the country.

Senator Whiny McCain. Bitter, angry old man with old ideas.

How is someone who graduated 894th out of 899 going to learn about the economy now at age 72???

This guy is just as dumb as Bush and more dangerous. Bush just wanted to attack Iraq, but McCain wants to attack Iran and Russia too. We can't have 4 wars going on. We can't even handle 2 right now. Bush is breaking the US and McCain will deliver the death blow.

McBush in his own words! This ad is too true

McCain is complaining that Obama is getting all the media attention???? No, I think McCain Attack Ads are getting more media attention than McCain and Obama combined!!!

Lisa August 25th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

You are the main reason I call Obama's supporters dumb. Just because Hillary didn't run a campaign as good as Obama. Does not mean she would not become a better President than him. Obama is 47 years old he has a Myspace page, he knows about the internet and how to rally around the younger voter. I'm sorry but that does not make him a better President. He doesn't even have a health care plan. You haven't heard him say one thing about Health Care ever since Hillary left the race.

Another thing, he's supporters are so dumb he promised them they would receive a text message who he would be selecting a Vice President first. Come to find out that was a lie, CNN posted the VP before his supporters even knew who it was.
-----------------------

You haven't been listening. Hillary's been out of the race for a while now and he's mentoined healthcare dozens of times. Do you listen or does your hate for Obama cause you to make up facts in your own mind?

Obama must continue with these ads.... and he needs to get some of the 2000 ads from Bush and use those too against McSame.... You know if I was a HRC supporter I would want to crawl up under a rock.... now McSame is targeting you... to continue to have the strife in our party.... and you PUMAS are victims to your bias/ignorance... You know if McStupid get into the house Roe vs Wade will change and Woman we all know that McSame as Bush is a womanizer ask his first wife or the mother of his illegitiment daughter .... grow up and vote correctly!

Obama 08

And....Economics is something Obama doesn't know as well as he should either. That people, is why these guys have advisors. They can't know it all, and if they try and tell you they do, then they are full of it.

I hope Obama's next ad uses McCain saying he's in favour of implementing a Draft, the Country is opposed to the War, you'd think having their children forced into harms way could help voters make an informed decision?

John McCain is not George W. Bush. If that's the best that the Democratic Party and Barack Obama can come up with, then they are throwing away the election.

The ads about how many houses, where we eat (Biden), McBush, 100 years of war and 4 more years of Bush are not cutting it. Actually it' has cost Obama.

We don't need jokes, charm, cuteness, rolled up sleeves on dress shirts, gesturing etc. This upside down Democratic ticket needs to tell us what they're plans are for this country.

If they lose it will not be due to lack of support but the fault of the DNC. John Dean and Nancy Pelosi have made one bad move after another.

This race is a wrap and John McCain will be wearing, eating or whatever he chooses to do with it.

I'd give McCain a 12th grade level of the understanding of economics, is it where it needs to be, no, but that still trumps Obama's kindergarden level of understanding of economics.

That is where Romney comes in and trumps both Obama and Biden.

Give it up Barack! Your prevaricating, obfuscating drivel won't impress any thinking person!

Oh, but you think that poor dumb Americans are angry, bitter people who turn to guns, religion and racism in their discontent with a "bad" America!

Obama, you are a loser, and you will lose! The Rick Warren Forum demonstrated that big time!

Vote for McCain 08. He is a moderate in touch with mainstream America!

CNN l hope you play that add over and over like you do for granpa. dont just post it on ticker. play it as many times as we have seen for McCain played.

Good work, Obama campaign. It's time to get ugly right back at that snide little gnome and his band of Rovian spin doctors.

It should also show images of all his homes...

McCain had better hold on tight, because after he gets his public finance funds he will be very limited in his spending, and Barack has raised millions upon millions to attack with. He is going ATTACK big time. McCain is going to have to play catch up. I was leaning towards McCain because I thought that he was above all of these negative talking points and negative advertising. You have lost my vote John McCain.

I left a piece out.

Bartels comes to this conclusion by examining what happened to income inequality from President Truman to President George W. Bush. "Under Democratic presidents," he writes, "poor families did slightly better than richer families (at least in proportional terms), producing a modest net decrease in income inequality; under Republican presidents, rich families did vastly better than poorer families, producing a considerable net increase in income inequality."

So, remember, all you poor people UNDER $5,000,000, this means you too.

BREAKING NEWS:

McCain's responds: "When I was a POW we didn't have an economy or the internets to learn things."

Hey L...Biden will wipe the floor with Mittens Romney. Anyday.

And we don't want to give him on-the-job training in economics.

HEY JOHNNY! FYI! Being an ex-POW does NOT qualify you to be president. Change the record.

This is a negative ad, which attacks the candidates own words on issues. The attack is not directed against the candidate's character.

When you have a billionheiress Stepford wife, why bother with economics? Just ask mommy!

I am salivating over the prospect of a Biden-Romney debate. Biden will be all over that used-car salesman like Cheney was on Edwards.

I loved Edwards, but I feared for his life in that debate.

Oooohhh, that's good. Kind of negative, but McCain's already gone there, so that genie's already out of the bottle.

John McCain is way out of touch with the real issues,

For God's sake the old man does not know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites, doesn't know anything about the economy and doesn't even know how many houses he has. Retire, old fool !

Am I the only person in the universe that continues to hear that McCain is an atheist and has been since his Vietnam POW days?

can't question Obama lack of judgment on CNN. stated facts they won't print it

Just wait for the Republican convention. We are not happy with McCain as our nominee. Unlike the stupid Puma folks, we will play along with McCain until it is time to pull the lever in November. When the country sees the big landslide for Obama, just know that the Former Rebublicans for Obama played a major part in making it happen.

McCain is not our candidate!!!

Michael, if you think McCain is going to smoke Obama on the economy in his debates.....you really have not heard anything EITHER candidate has said. This ad is right on target.

FOR ANY PERSON–NOT KNOWING HOW MANY HOUSE'S HE OWN'S. . .SAY'S A LOT, ABOUT HOW UNINFORMED HE IS TO HIS OWN PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCE'S.

MCCAIN IS TRUELY OUT OF TOUCH. . .EVEN WITH HIMSELF!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

Mc Cain also knows little about foreign policy. When Kosovo people claimed to seperate from Serbia he supported it. Now Abchasian people want to separate from Georgia and he opposes it. That´s not consistent foreign policy !!!

Obama has yet to say anything other then utopian nonsense!

Michael: What have YOU been smoking? Not a chance. Listening to John McBush talk is like taking an early sleeping pill.

Unfortunetly Obama has to have ads like these; but at least they are true. People vote Democratic so we can get our country back.

Beverly, NYC- You're a moron too! Do you not get it???? Obama's own #2 (Biden) doesn't even think he's capable. Biden has said it multiple times!! So is Biden considered a 'jealous third party' too?

I amazes me how the only thing on this page to comment on is the ad against McCain. I am not sure where you guys do your polling but I do not know but a handful of people who will vote for Obama and some of them are so upset over HIlliary. This will amaze you when this is over and you find out the American people are just not that stupid to put Obama in as President of the United States.

That's the difference between the negative ads by Obama. obama uses McCains own words and they're issues related. McCain goes negative on hooey – like the celebrity hooey. I personally like it that those outside of the US are excited about Obama. Only the desperate gop could see it any differently.

McCain needs to focus on the issues – his pow facade is wearin' thin – he's played that card way too much.

Oh, and Obama does? (Have a grasp on economic issues, that is.)

People get degrees in Economics. I would guess that both Obama and McCain do not know that much about Economics. As far as what might help the economy, I think McCain is listening to Economists that have a better idea of what the economy needs to improve.

Is anyone else tired of the "same as Bush," point made by Obama? Besides the fact that it is not accurate, it shows a lack of research by Obama. Maybe he could look at what McCain actually stands for and attack that vs. the "same, same, same" story. Instead of this line of reasoning, perhaps Obama could tell us how he is not like the other Democratic politicians and how he will move things forward that are not in the Pelosi/Reid agenda that make sense for America.

Mccain will continue the bush economic policy thats all he knows since he admits he doesnt know the economy IT WILL BE BUSH ECONOMIC POLICY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lame ad – sounds cheesy, looks cheap, doesn't get the message across – waste of money and time.

next.......

Time for Romney to step in and save the day.

The record shows that McCAin has been an opportunistic status jumper.

He's rich because he married a woman whose father left her a bundle of money. That's why he buys $550 pairs of shoes. His not self made.

Mc Cain does not know economics. Phil Gram does but he thinks we are a nation of whiners But Mc Cain still listens to him. If this is the kind of advice he is going to listen to when the majority of americans are slowly getting squeezed out of their life savings and are bleeding to death financially then he does not need to run this country.

A vote for McCain is a vote to sink our country even lower.

You Hillary supports sure will be proud of yourselves then huh.

Barry is by no means an economist either...

Community organizer, yes. Economist, not so much.

I just want to remind everyone who is criticizing Clinton backers who are voting for McCain that Michelle Obama – with her message of unity – was quoted saying that she "would have to think about voting for Hillary" if she won the nomination. Thank God Pelosi set up Obama to win so Michelle could embrace it.

Good ad Mr. Obama. It's time for people to see that McBush knows very liitle and can't help our country to become better. He can't even remember how many houses he has, let alone, fix our country.

Obama/Biden '08

L...If McCain picks Romney, the Democrats are going to have a field day relieving the past Romney vs McCain campaigning which cause McCain to make a lot of gaffes. Just Watch!

Ed unlike McCain's ads, Obama does not have to resort to comments made by jealous third parties. Obama isn't using smears but the truth. McCain does not know about the economy, his own words. He needs his staff to tell him how many homes he owns. Has paid staff members who tell reporters that he does not speak for his own campaign. What's Mccain's response Hillary said this, Hillary said that, and I was a POW. The POW thing, frankly, I am tired of hearing it, he's not exactly Nelson Mandela, who stayed in jail 27 years for wanting freedom for his country. Unlike McCain Mandela never signed propaganga denouncing his country, nor did he inform on African liberation party members, according to Veterans against McCain he sung like a canary every chance he got. Is this the type of individual you want governing America. Isn't is time we stopped rewarding life's "C" student with the hardest job in the land?

McCain will need All the Business Schools in the Nation plus the London School of Economics to give him lessons 12 hours every day to even come to grips with the basics. The Biggest issue facing the Nation is the Economy and as Presidential Candidate, McCain has judged himself lacking in that regard. He cannot enroll for School in the White House and still have time to monitor events in Iran, Iraq and Georgia.

I think they have this ad out now to corner him into picking Romney. The Obama team is nothing short of extraordinary.

I'm glad to see that the campaign is getting down to real issues and showing McCain for what he really is - a guy entrenched in a military background seeking to right all perceived wrongs of past wars and military skirmishes by becoming president so he can fight wars his way. He said it himself - he knows how to win wars. He never said I know how to fix this country. Of course he doesn't know about the economy because he doesn't care. He only fights the wars and leaves it up to the government or whoever to find a way to pay for them.

McCain can't win and I think some of the cnn hosts and especially their so called political forum should stop talking about Clinton–it,s getting boring –are they being paid to push clinton dissent–the Clintons are has-beens and for the last time – her 18 million votes were half republicans in the open primaries Dont bite the hand that feeds you.

Mccain should just beg "HILARY I NEED YOU TO WIN, PLEASE BE MY VP" and that will end all these appeasement.

MCAIN/HILARY 2008???

HA! HA! Go get Obama!

After the Democratic Convention, Obama should go full steam ahead after McCain!

Oh, Obama, this is really practicing what you preach.... CHANGE....

Looks like political slime business as usual to me.

McCain is an idiot. I pray that he is not elected. The economy and our foreign relations just can't take another four years of "idiot central" in the White House. What is John McCain's education level, anyway? Did he even graduate from college? I wouldn't hire him to work for my company, let alone run the country.

I found it quite disgusting that McCain's response to Biden's remark regarding the 7 kitchen tables, was "For years as a POW I didn't have any kitchen tabels." PLEASE!!! I admire what he has done and gone through, but if being a POW was so tramatic that it's his excuse for every little thing, then I don't feel confident in him as a President that's for sure.

And Ed, I'm not sure what you're on, but this ad is completely true. McCain's own words haunt him. I just hope the American voters use their heads this time.

Great ad. I wonder if republicans look at those ads with their eyes closed praying for rain on election day.

I believe him!

Obama 08!

Now this is a factual headline CNN! and a great ad for Obama, because McCain does not know the difference between shiite and shia in Iraq, he refuses to admit that Afghanistan is the central front on terror.

He does not even know how many houses he owns!!! nuff said.

McCain will smoke Obama on the economy in the debates.

This is a good ad because it brings attention to a key difference between McCain and Obama – intelligence, education, and judgment.

Unlike most of McCain ads that try to distort reality – this ad is right on target.

It is easy to paint McCain as dumb – because he is.

What pummeling did Obama take? There was more flap about McCain not knowing how many houses he has than Obama's camp for bringing up this issue. And of course, they only brought up this issue AFTER McCain's camp made such a big deal about Obama taking a vacation...

Obama doesnt know much about the economy either. he's a lawyer, not an economist.

Dont worry, when McCain picks Romney (the economic expert in the republican party) all will be fine. One expert on foreign policy/military and the other on the economny, the dream ticket !!!!!

This is just mean spirited. What happened to Barry's pledge of non-negative campaiging? Guess that notion was thrown under the bus with his grandmother and pastor.

Lots of things are above Barry's pay grade. Howard Dean needs to be fired. Immediately.

Great .. keep using video of McCain's own words and keep posting the dates when he said it. That will show the American people that these are not dated references.

It was powerful to show that on 8/20 McCain speaks about a strong economy and then on 8/22 we learn that he doesn't know how many homes he owns. That drove home the message that he is living in a economic bubble. Then on 8/23 we learn he doesn't know how many automobiles he has.

This is one area where John can't trot out a POW-related story to defend himself. That prop of a "Nav" baseball cap does nothing for him on this important topic.

Finally, Alexander Mooney, it appears to many of us that everytime McCain has a new commercial, CNN covers it AND places a link to it so that bloggers can view it. That amounts to free advertising for him. Time Warner, CNN's parent company, (headed by a black Republican) would do well to insure that Obama's ads get the same access as McCain's.

I guess we are even since Obama has no clue on foreign policy and needed
a an experience, Washington insider to hold his hand.

If Biden is the one with experience and his the one putting our mind at ease why is he the VP?

John McCain is a war monger, he has nothing positive to add to
american. John prepare to enter a home for old politicans

Everyone who likes the current state of our country after 7 disasterous years of Bush should vote for McCain. McCain agrees with Bush 95% of the time.
Obama agrees with Clinton 95% of the time. Therefore, any Clinton supporter who votes for McCain is a moron.

McBush is an economic elitist that knows nothing about what the average American has to go through on a daily basis.

How could anyone vote for the same failed policies of the last 8 years?

This great nation cannot afford 4 more years of this corporatocracy!

We are going down the road to Fascism!

Wake up America!

I, as a Clinton supporter, will vote republican in november because for some reason I feel like Obama has treated Clinton unfairly and the republicans have always been wonderful to Clinton. Never said a bad word about her or her family. But Obama, this guy had the audacity to compete against Clinton in the primaries!!!

I agree McCain sure isn't a perfect candidate, but if he will stand up to Congress and put a stop to excessive spending on pet projects it will be more then Obama will do.

I wonder if the foreclosures of the homes in the background is a reminder for McCain to follow-up on his home investments....you know with so many homes, he can't keep track of them.......but let's not fear......McCain's eye is one "THE HOUSE," and sad to say it will only be his eye watching Obama move about.

Oh yeah! And Obama knows real estate financing. Just go to your neighborhood felon for a loan!

This is exactly where we need to go. And let's keep the focus on where it should be. The economy in this country is in trouble and it is Republican policy that has put it there. We do not need more of the same.

The "pay grade" issue is not an issue: he was clearly speaking of a being who could answer that question that we humans can't.

And the houses thing is fair game: McCain is an elitist who does not know about the struggles of the average American. You want to compare it to Rezko? Not the same thing. You want to bring up Rezko, we come back with the Keating scandal.

This Dog won't hunt!

McCain knows more about everything then the Left Wing Nut Job in Training Pants!

At least Biden figures Obama's Training Pants are Clean! LOL!

McCain 08

It is questionable as to McCain understanding anything. The man graudated 894/899. That places him in the bottom 1%. I wonder if he knows all of his alphabets. You mean we are actually considering this guy for president. Give the man an IQ test.

Ed – What is Obama's pay grade?

Hey Ed....
If it's the Rezko thing you are refering to, you might wan't to go to FactCheck.org to see what they have to say about Baracks connection
with Tony Rezko...

Bush = McCain McCain = Bush ... any questions? Bush = McCain McCain = Bush ... any questions? Bush = McCain McCain = Bush ... any questions? Bush = McCain McCain = Bush ... any questions?

Pretty clever verse...high marks for that, but really, for guys that are trying to promote change, you've really got to get some new material.

That whole 'voted with Bush 95% of the time' stuff is getting to be lame. A human and a chimpazee share over ~97% of the same DNA and there are stark differences between the two.

Everybody knows that McCain has reached across the aisle more than any other member of his party, that's why his big test was actually the primaries in trying to appeal to conservative voters. Appealing to the independents is much easier for him than it is for Barack, who willingly told the liberals everything they wanted to hear (and everything they wanted to say) to get eleceted. McCain never made any houghty promises to the conservatives, so he doesn't have to pretend to not be a flip-flopper.

I have for 30 years voted straight Democratic ticket every four years. No more. I will not vote for Obama. He is not qualified. I will either vote McCain or not vote. Hillary in 2012.

love it. time to take off the gloves.

CNN isn't reporting the number of Republicans that will not vote for McCain. He does not reprecent the Republican party and we are not happy with him being our nominee. There are a lot of us and we will give Senator McCain a lesson in politics when he loses the election.

It will be McCain all the way in November!!!

Clinton could have been the next President but they Dems have once again shot themselves in the foot. Thankfully, Hillary will not be a part of Obama's loosing ticket.

and Clinton in 2012!!!

Who took a pummeling after absolutely exploiting McCain's houses. How many houses do you have? If it is one and I don't know that, do you believe that the ultra rich can really identify with your concerns and struggles, if you have any. If you do, I have a bridge...... And oh, by the way, if you have no struggles or concerns then you are definitely in the minority in this country at this point, you are definitely among the very fortunate.

What pummeling did he take Ed? If my thoughts are correct, it dominated the news cycle for a little bit, which is exactly what the Obama campaign wanted. If you can't recall how many houses you have, how in touch with society are you?

Mr. Ed,
You need to face the facts that this democratic nominee is not going to back down. Black Americans has never backed down from anything and do not plan to do so this election. All republicans can do is try to smear people's reputation. You and McCain have something in common, you both are out of touch with reality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

McCain, sorry but we can't afford someone that age trying to run the Indy 500, or trying to fly planes to Europe. He is just too old. He's got experience, but just too old. Sorry even old people think this man is too old.

Ed, I am sorry that I have to be the one to inform you this but.... McAskTheHelp-Cain is not a worker, a college loan payer, a mortgage payer, a foreclosed-home home owner, or a rich man who doesn't take $2000 from the VA every month citizen.

So do you smell a new add?

1) What pummeling..... What exploiting the houses gaffe did was illustrate how preposterous it is to call a self made man with ONE house an elitest when you DON'T EVEN 'KNOW' HOW MANY 'YOU' OWN.

2) When Obama mentioned answering that question was 'above his pay grade" he was referring to GOD.....

surely HE is above YOUR pay grade... right????

(or IS HE?)

sigh..... republicans...... geez.

I just changed my registration from Republican to Independent. I cannot sit idly by and let McCain continue Bush's dismantling of the country I love.

McCain's less-than-honest ads just reinforce my belief that he is no longer the maverick he was. He is simply a tool for today's GOP. He is too old. He is too unstable. He does not understand financial matters. I cannot support him.

Obama is not risky. He can and will surround himself with experienced, intelligent people that will make well thought-out, informed decisions. He will not shoot first and ask questions later. That type of tough-guy rhetoric has made our country less safe than ever before.

- A conservative for Obama

Hillary should come out swinging on Tuesday and talk about McCain's lack of experience on the economy. Regarding McCain ads, she should be forthright and say that she did have concerns about Obama's inexperience, but by choosing Biden, Obama has allayed her fears and that he will bring about "Change with Experience" or "Seasoned Change". She should emphasize that McCain's ads show that McCain and the Republican machine is about divide and conquer, while the democratic party is about Uniting.

Most open minded objective people know McCain is not too smart in many areas. Just watch him speak. He needs Joe LIEberman to whisper things to him. Since McCain doesn't drive, I'm wondering how he gets to each of his 7 or 8 houses. He's a elitist that wants to export American jobs overseas and give hugh tax breaks to big corporations and big oil. He's a two faced liar.

More free Obama Air time... Tell me Obama when you are going to get paid enough to reply to the hard questions??? Your a millionaire so how much is enough Obama???

Independent for McCain, was for Hillary!

This is based in all your senate and world knowledge Jr. Senator?

It's going to be a "wonderful world" once the Obama fest and the O-kids have their fun at the convention. 15 minutes of fame is nice while it lasts. This Democrat for McCain is looking forward to voting for the next president of the USA – John McCain. Hillary 12! Yes we will.

Now thats good stuff, I don't care what side your on!

McCain knows much more than you do Obama. McCain actually has experience. You are all rhetoric and no substance. You don't have to put your wife [Leona Helmsley 2 [Queen of Mean] up there to tell us who you are and where you came from. We know all we need to know about you and her.

BARACK OBAMA IS THE SMARTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!!!! If you think differently then you are one of the dumbest person in the world.

McCain is TOOOOOOO OLD to be president, plain and simple.

Obama, a different kind of politician? Yah, right. You're going to get your but kicked back to Indonesia.

It's safer to have a leader who admits lack of economic knowledge than one that thinks he or she knows everything. In reality, a president has to depend on his or her cabinet and make a decision.

I was worried when Hillary said she did not believe in economists and predictions.

Please know the tension between Obama and Clinton supporters is a SET UP.
Republicans are posting inflammatory words on both sides to get us to argue and make Clinton supporters seem harsh and the Obama supporters harsher towards each other.

Please, if we truly want Washington to stop playing games at our expense, ignore the posts of "PUMAS" and "Obamamaniacs" and vote for the issues that need to be changed in this country: the economy, the war in Iraq, women's rights. If you do, I guarantee you won't be voting for McCain.

I LOVE THIS!!! THAT'S HYSTERICAL AND PERFECT!!!

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS IN FULL EFFECT!

LET THE DEBATES BEGIN!!

OBAMA '08 / '12

What does it matter. There isn't a person in washington that knows or cares about the economy. The attitude in Washington is every man for himself grab all you can squeeze from the american people before the country fractures into chaos. And that my freind is not very far off.

They hit the nail on the head

"Don't know much "

Are you ignorant or just plain stupid. Obama will clean McCain's clock. He is just like Bush and everyone knows this. The man is so senile that he can not remember how many homes he has. America will be in for disaster if this man is elected. God please help us all if that happens. Obama 08

I think it is very noteworthy that the GOP has put the pullout from Iraq on the fast-track. This is one way to keep Barack Obama from stealing thunder. When they are faced with losing the white house, all of a sudden we have a date to withdraw from Iraq. When we were in the "muddle" of the Bush Presidential years everything was vague or up in the air or just double-talked over.

I love the PUMAs. They are going Repug and are going to shake up current and future elections, wrong. You may get your way this election, but once the Repugs find out what cry babies you really are, an equal number of them will defect to the Dems. Nobody likes grown self absorbed cry babies. You are never going to find peace and you will continue to cry no matter what party you choose. Believe me, once you start making your unreasonable demands on Repugs, they will get tired of you real quick. But, if I know the Republicans, they might give you lip service to get your vote, then deliver on nothing that you want.

Ask poor people in this country, they know the drill. Vote Repug, get nothing in return.

Glad to get rid of PUMAs, even if it costs this election. The party will be better off in the long run. PUMAs are insuring that Hillary will never be president and that is said, but true.

By the way, stop blaming everyone except Hillary for her own failures. She blew this primary plain and simple and you just will not accept that, but any objective observer would agree. She had no caucus strategy, incompetent people running the campaign, and no executive guts to straighten it all out. Her campaign was built for super Tuesday only and not a long drawn out primary. That is her fault and no one else's. You should be mad at Hillary and Bill and no one else. Bill knows better, how did he let Hillary fall into this trap. Bill knew about the caucuses. Place blame in the right places for goodness sakes.

If Repubs have the answer, why don't they brag about the last eight years of solutions they've offered Americ? It's a poor dog that won't wag his own tail.

LMAO!!!!!! Ed..why not go there???? McFOOL said it!!!!! Although HE LIED and said he didn't....LOL! Or MAYBE he just "forgot" he said it...He's kinda OLD you know!!! LOL!LOL!
FYI actually Obama won the "House" gaff!!! People are STILL talking about it....

Go Obama/Biden!!! It them harder than they hit you! Republicans can't take it!!!!! If McCain gets in my grandkids will be drafted within 90 days
and at war for the next 50 years.

What ever happened to “REPORTING THE FACTS”? There was a time when lies and untruths were reported as being lies and untruths, those days are long gone. Now all we get spewed at us from FOX and CNN are regurgitated LIES that are presented as if they are truth. Both Fox and CNN have gone our to their way to provide FREE political advertising for one of the parties by endlessly replaying the adds propagating the distribution of the LIES.

Once there were real journalists that reported the facts, now we have willing dupes that seek to invent sensational stories out of every scrap of innuendo. Now every talking head on TV thinks they know more than the people that they are supposed to be reporting about.

Good for Senator Obama. McCain has gotten a free ride. I find it downright disingenuous when anytime he doesn't do well he reverts to his POW status. He has run a low and dirty campaign so far. He is a Rovite and has nothing but mean and mostly untrue things to say.
He's been a cheating spouse, he appears to be a gigalo, he was part of the Keating 5 and he can't answer questions he's always going to get back to you.
He's the Senator from my state and I know he hasn't done a dmaned thing for us.

It is amazing the sense of entitlement most republicans portray. It is not a problem if McCain releases non sensical ads because it has to do with character. But, if an ad is released about John McSame, then we have the problem because Obama dared to slight their candidate. Give me a break. Do unto others as you would like done onto you.

Obama/Biden 08

Agree- pay grade. What does Obama know about the economy??

He knew how to defend our country.

Obama congratulations for not picking HRC as V.Pres. candidate. You certainly did our country a big favor. You deserve a big hand shake and THANK YOU. I think Joe Biden was your best choice.
Again, glad you did not let the Clintons brain wash and snow you over.

Ed, what Pummeling? McCain was at a loss for days!

Actually that housing exploit cut right to the heart on McCain.

It's too bad the Republicans have forced this campaign into negative mode. McCain obviously has accomplished very little on his own in Washington and should be proud of it as he can be blamed less for the miserable state we're in. They claim Obama has no experience. Great! The people want a smart, clear-headed person to completely overhaul government, throw out the crooks, control the special interests, live within your means, etc. Obama has the best chance of making that happen, not someone who brags about being part of the problem all their lives.

Great add this will stick in everyones mind! I love the song like in animal house!

My friends...

Let me give you some REAL straight talk... McCain don't know much... or maybe he just doesn't remember.

Good...the Republican Party and Hillery Clinton supporters are dispicable and the good old U. S of A. will get what it deserves if McCain wins.

Ed, what are you talking about, he should go there cause McGramps is out of touch and that is the truth!!!!

Ed, re the "paygrade' Obama was acknowledging that only God can answer when life begins and he was right. Don’t twist the answer to suit your needs. Only GOD knows when life begins and to answer that is above McCain and Obama’s pay grade

OBAMA IS A WORM, HES OLD POLITICS

What pummeling are you speaking of?

And CNN–why isn't this on top of the ticker. Get Hillary out of there.

If McCain doesn't pick Hillary Clinton as his VP, I'm voting for Barack Obama. No Hillary equals No McCain.

PUMAs Unite!

I don't think McCain's ignorance of the economy is going to matter a whole lot to an electorate that voted for Bush – tiwce! As the Europeans said "How could millions of people be so stupid?" I'm still wondering.

Now that's what I'm talking about Obama camp. Let's start blasting him on his positions. Now I know that Senator Obama wanted to keep it clean, but McCain took off the gloves. This is not an attack add, this is the truth. All the McCain camp can do is point out what others have said but nothing Obama has said himself, Why? Because Obama speaks from the heart, while McCain speaks from his staff i.e how many houses do you own? Now keep the pressure on Obama, he is a old tiger trying to survive in a new world. End his and Clinton's politcal dynasty. It's time for change folks and the next POTUS will bring it.

Obama/Biden 08 and 12

That's kind of surprising coming from somebody who mumbles and stumbles, and duck direct questions. McCain is more comfortable in townhall style format which shows that he is in command of the issues. On questions which he does not know the answer, he will not pretend to know. I am more comfortable with McCain personality rather than Obama's telepromter super star style speeches. I think Barack Obama is trying to minimize his own weakness in this ad.

I think the Georgia crisis really showed who should be commander in chief.

Don't you love it? So much for a different kind of politician and that mean Republican negative attack machine. Obama and the Dems are just as much in the mud as anybody.

CNN....are you watching?

BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH BUSH = MCCAIN MCCAIN = BUSH

If Obama understands the economy so well, why is he calling for increased labor costs via higher minimum wage and higher taxes? Those will really hurt small businesses and mom and pop stores.

If he understoon economics, Obama would be calling for less government interference and fewer tax burdens.

I am an Obama supporter and would like to start reconciliation with the hardened Hillary Supporters. I know you are all very upset and disappointed right now. As an Obama supporter, I was not very thrilled about how things transpired the last few days. I would say though, none of us really know what has transpired behind the scenes. If the way things were handled poorly in the last 2 days, as an Obama supporter, I come out and say SORRY from the bottom of my heart. Things should not have gone there to make you feel that way. We are still sisters and brothers of the same party, same aspirations. I sincerely hope that we can unite and move forward. Obama may be an imperfect person, but he sure does mean to do the right by us. Please forgive him for the mistakes he has committed and let us move forward.

Here is my message to fellow Obama supporters – Reign in your rhetoric and language against the Hillary supporters. If we have siblings with whom we disagree, we do not trash them or try to put them down. That is not how we can move forward. So, please reach out and say and do what you can. Angry words will only do one thing – Keep people further away from coming back.

DEMOCRATS FOR UNITY

The difference between Nobama and McCain is that McCain is not afraid to tell the truth. On the other hand, Nobama lies and lies and lies. He will say and do anything to fool the American people.
We see thru this plastic Messiah.
Just go away...NOW

CNN always put a link to ALL McCain adds when they push the story but do dot do the same for the Obama add when writing about it.This story is an example and the one on Mccain's add is another.

Seems like graduate 895 out of 899 is as stupid as they come. Oops, forgot about the one already in the White House.

Change 08

I love it!

Great! What took you so long?

After McCain loses the presidential race maybe he can buy a house in Georgia and run for president of that country. That way he will not have to go far to start a war. Like a vampire thrives on blood, McCain does on war.

neither does Obama... Mccain will ask for help though... Obama will give communism another try....

. . . .He's as dumb as George.

Check it out on sites that actually show the ad. It is a great ad and does not sink to the lies and slime level of the GOP.

This ad is funny, unlike the McCain Celeb and The One ads. It would be nice if CNN would actually link to the ad for our viewing pleasure.

I shoved Obama hard. He fell back and laid on the floor, helpless. He said he learned empathy from his grandmother and wouldn't hurt anyone. But this McDevil in my ear tells me what to think and how to act. I wish the devil would go away but... the whispers! They've turned into screams! "He played the race card!" "Hillary said McCain had more experience!" "He stayed in that church 20 years!" The devil had said that he wouldn't say these things. Why does he torment me?

...yet... but.. somehow... maybe he's right. Obama isn't the same now. He may be lying there, but if I get rid of him, all my problems end. The devil disappears. Hillary will be the angel to take his place. The McDevil speaks: "Do it! Do it and Hillary is yours! I'll let you live your life the way you want to!"... I raise the knife.
____
Hillary supporters: You thought Obama was controlling the DNC, but the truth is that you're now being DIRECTLY controlled by McCain. Do you REALLY like it?

Great ad. Hilarious, actually

LOL, I love it. It really must be a wonderful world in McCain's mind. Paying $4.00 a gallon for gas doesn't matter to him, but when you live in California, where you have to drive everywhere, it MATTERS.

Carry on Dems, we'll see you at the finish line.

Obama/ Biden 08, 12

I am not interested in attacking the Clinton supporters who are upset about how things have turned out. Many of the comments posted in here are not from Clinton supporters, anyway. They are from Republicans who are bent on instigating controversy in the blogs. Here's what i think needs to happen for unity to be achieved:

Clinton needs to respond to the recent McCain ads by stating the following (and she needs to mean it when she says it):

I do not approve of these ads. The primary season was a hard race to the finish line. Obama did not steal the nomination; he won it fairly in a close contest. I have no hard feelings about this, and will continue doing everything I can to get him elected in November. He shares my values and is the better candidate on the ballot in November. To my supporters who have expressed their intent to vote for John McCain – please reconsider. Barack Obama's policies and ideas are much like mine, and a vote for McCain is a vote against everything I stand for, most especially womens' rights and health care. A vote for Barack Obama is a vote that can help restore our nation to its former greatness. PLease reject the negative ads John McCain has released over the past few days. The truth is, if you vote for McCain instead of Obama, you will be hurting this country, not helping it. Please get behind Senator Obama the way I have, and let's put a Democrat in the White House this fall. I will be voting for Barack Obama, and I sincerely hope you will, too.

I just want to remind everyone who is criticizing Clinton backers who are voting for McCain that Michelle Obama – with her message of unity tonight – was quoted saying that she "would have to think about voting for Hillary" if she won the nomination. Thank God Pelosi set up Obama to win so Michelle could embrace it.

Hippocrits!

This is supposed to be a democracy. The DNC should be ashamed of themselves.

You are the main reason I call Obama's supporters dumb. Just because Hillary didn't run a campaign as good as Obama. Does not mean she would not become a better President than him. Obama is 47 years old he has a Myspace page, he knows about the internet and how to rally around the younger voter. I'm sorry but that does not make him a better President. He doesn't even have a health care plan. You haven't heard him say one thing about Health Care ever since Hillary left the race.

Another thing, he's supporters are so dumb he promised them they would receive a text message who he would be selecting a Vice President first. Come to find out that was a lie, CNN posted the VP before his supporters even knew who it was.

you don't say. Can't be. McCain is so brillant that he believes our economy is fine despite thousands of jobs being sent overseas and people losing their homes. We are nothing but a nation of whiners and have a mental recession. (sigh). Maybe the person who has psychological probelms is McCain in insulting the intelligence of others as though we are crazy. We are not imaging the economic recession. McCain is imagining that czech exists as well as the cold war. get it together man.

Oh, if Barry is going THERE, then Obama's "pay grade" is totally up for grabs.

Hasn't he learned his lesson from the pummeling he took after trying to exploit McCain's houses?
