CNN

it's either McCain in confused, or confusion is contagious, who could be immune to it if hanging out with McSame.

HELLO......can't be more lies by McWar.....never

And? Who cares? It not as if it's going to be anything earth shattering!

does Mccain have anyone working his campaign that has not worked for Bush or has not or IS not a lobbyist?

So what you are saying is that you have to be almost dead before you get some kind of medical coverage in the "EMERGENGY ROOM" of the closest hospital? In the real world, not in McCain's world, prevention of the action is better than the action. This really applies for everything in life. In politics as in medicine. in war as in peace, in stupidity as in wisdom. I will leave it as that. I know a lot of people will get my point including republicans that I'm sure would wish that ideas like this one would never have come out to the public.

This guy is nuts.

Some of these comments are funny!! The mistake was made by the PRESS, not McCain. Regardless of that the ageist comments routinely posted by Obama supported are telling.

"I am voting for a cool, young dude, not that old, wrinkly, senile,(add your favorite derogatory ageist term here) McCain," said the Obama supporter.

Do you think we really cares

McCain and his team are desperate losers.

To all you reporters!!! To avoid confusion, and to avoid Sparky McCain from getting in trouble with the [R]ightwing, all information regarding Sparky's interviews are to go through Rush Limbaugh where the real permission comes from.

CNN home page:
"Ticker: McCain plans surprise tonight "

Is the surprise the fact that McCain still expects anybody to care?

I'm betting that McCain's Veep choice will be either Charles Keating or Scooter Libby.

Cindy McCain's Half-Sister: I'm Voting For Obama

Soon we are going to have to start calling McCain, McSenile!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

McCain can't remember whether he really picked a V.P. or not. Caught somewhere between reality and senility!

Stay tuned!

McCain is a lunatic, like Bush, dancing on the button and anxious to PUSH IT!

SPOOKY!

Sally, if you think CNN wants McCain to win you need to take the tin foil hat off your head because your reception is kook-koo.

McCain will pick a woman and I believe it will be Kay Bailey Hutchinson. Elizabeth Dole is too old like McCain, but then Kay Bailey Hutchinson is do spring chicken.
McCain needs someone who can remind him what he is saying is not right for he is in the early stages of dementia.
You do not believe me, then listen to how many times he gets people and things and countries mixed up. If he is not repeating something he has already said he has trouble.
We need some one who can think quickly and make a decision now instead of having to go to his advisors and let them write down what he needs to do.

J. Liberman is not the fool some belive NO way should he except He wil not want to anywhere near McCain when the blowback happens. Trust me it will happen. I actual fear for whats left of Mccains mind when the truth finaly surfaces. He will need to be watched very closely

The one about the ad Senator McCain plans to run had closed. I hope it is not one of the nasty ads that the typically runs. This is an historic night not only for Senator Obama but for a whole lot of people. JOHN MCCAIN & THE REPUBLICAN NEED TO SHOW SOME RESPECT IF THEY HAVE ANY.

August 28th, 2008 3:23 pm ET

It will be interesting to see who McCain selects. He doesn't have a wealth of candidates to choose from. Pawlenty is too inexperienced; Ridge is too liberal; Lieberman is too boring; and Romney is too rich.

Good luck, John!

You mean the democrats have no rich people, wow, I thought they had plenty, I would name them for you , but there is not enough space to list them all.

McCrazy LOSER

Who cares!! Let em say it again WHO CARES!!

It will be interesting to see who McCain selects. He doesn't have a wealth of candidates to choose from. Pawlenty is too inexperienced; Ridge is too liberal; Lieberman is too boring; and Romney is too rich.

Good luck, John!

Next ...

were confused is this the john kenndey who went to the moon or is it the president kenndy

The sad thing is McCain doesn't know if he did or didn't select a vp yet????? Hmmm

FL Voter – just so you know, you'll have to keep waiting. Not because McCain voters don't have reasons – but because CNN won't post us! Here – I just posted my reasons for voting for McCain over on Fox. Check it there. Just wanted to give you an FYI – now I'm going to post this (or try) and then post again with the reasons – we'll see if it makes it! (Note – I'm doing this not even using the word 'moron' or anything stronger than that – not even the word 'stupid' – I dont' want to give them reasons to block me out, but I bet you don't see it on here.)

Oh – and while I"m on – to the lady who said "intelegent republicans for Obama" – do ya see the irony?

McCain't !!! Nuff Said.

"How is Obama going to help us out, when he doesn't even help his own brother who lives in a hut?"

At least Obama will acknowledge he has a half-brother, unlike Cindy McCain who doesn't acknowledge her own two half-sisters.

Take heart, POW!

McCain is still short of his 10,000 audience goal for his VP announcement. No wonder it kills the GOP to see 85,000 plus in Oregon; 200,000 in Berlin; possibly 76,000 plus in denver; the spectacular gothic style stage in Mile-high stadium. Did you see the high tech setting at the Pepsi center?

OBAMA/BIDEN'08

I love how people that don't read and don't understand what they're reading make stupid comments about McCain and selecting or not selecting the VP. Read the story again and put your fibblem ind to work. This is an error from the news reporters not McCain.

No wonder Obama has been brainwashing everyone, people just can't comprehened a simple 3 sentence report forget about his speeches.

Sounds like McCain is having a very hard time finding someone credible to actually ACCEPT the job.

He might just have to go stag to the dance.

I THOUGHT DURING THE PRIMARIES THAT CNN WAS THE MOST INDEPENDENT NEWS STATION, BUT AS WE WENT ON INTO THE GENERAL ELECTIO, YOU LOST YOUR MAVERICK STYLE JUST LIKE YOUR CANDIATE. PLEASE STOP SHOWING SO MUCH MEDIA BIAS. OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 LIVE WITH IT!!!!!!!!

No, see McCain chose a running mate, but he forgot who his running mate was. He'll need Joe Lieberman to remind him who he picked for VP.

John McCain/Dick Chaney 08....does anyone remember a few months ago when McCain leaked his big VP announcement to get attention...this guy is so pathetic he has as much substance as he has hair...everything about him is a lie...even his comb over...No way, NO how NO McCain pathetic sidekick, votes against vets, women and clean energy...he has 50 LOBBYIST running his campaign and he wants us to believe country first? McCain is the country club first candidate.

perhaps someone's losing their 'bearings'?

i think mcsenile[mccain] is a nursing home reject he is forgetfull and he lies to cover it up ...... vote obama 08

is this the new reliable news source?

Stop instigating.

So he can't remember if he picked a VP or not. Sounds like he is a wee bit confused. It won't make any difference who his VP is anyhow, cause he's not going to win.

Who cares about McCain.

That will teach CNN. They jumped all over this report last night. Feelling foolish?

Karl Rove hasn't told him who to select yet.

i believe mc cain won't help with any hurriance, tornado disater. he just focus WAR like Bush did. i think he is a hobby LOVE WAR. that is why i won't vote him. No way, No How, No Cain

I'm voting for Obama's brother, he looks like he needs a good job and has about the same experience as Obama.

Obama's Bro 08

I don't care for either one my candidate is not in the hunt anymore whether dem. or repub. we are voting for the best of the worst. The Demo. convention was boring. The Clintons shouldbe thanked for putting life back into the whole mess. Obama, well he has been over sold and I truely believe the harder the sell, the cheaper the product. In conclusion, I'm not sure who I want.

Clinton 2012

Too olf for a good picture os a good speech. So he wants all attention that he will never get next week except few laughs...hahahahahah

Republicans need to read more books. : )

Vote + Republican = Not the sharpest tool, but still a tool.

Too old for a good picture ar a good speach. He is trying to tell us how jaleous he is????

I like Obama, I think he's ok...but I cannot vote for him simply because of the MORONS that speak on these blogs for him. If he garners support of so many stupid people then something must be wrong. Plus, I tend to agree with the 99% of black people that vote for their color...I think this time around i'll vote whitey.

I know!I know!
McCain/ Limbaugh! That's the ticket.
A perfect match there.

Post this.

The Governor of Texas will not be attending the R convention.

NO one in McCain's party believes in him.

In reference to the experience that the republicans keep talking about, wasn't George Bush experienced and look where we are.

Just maybe you should have confirmed the story before you posted it...you seem to be spreading a lot of rumors lately...is this what journalist do today??

Is Sherry in Atlanta the only commenter here who actually read the article? The AP's incorrectly reported that the interview occurred a day later than it actually did, suggesting that McCain had contradicted himself about whether he had selected his running mate. The error was the AP's, not McCain's. And CNN is just reporting their correction. Sheesh!

Lots of hostility in the posts...not to mention all the misspellings, etc. It is hard to take such misspelled rhetoric seriously.

If you want to influence other readers to give weight to why you support either Obama or McCain, you really need to quote facts and write in a legible manner.

If I were undecided on a candidate at this point, none of your posts would actually convince me one way or another. Try harder.

Putin tells the truth. I knew it. I knew it was a trick battle to make McCain look better.

who cares

maybe mccain is going to have his prisoner of war records released uncensored if bush didn't take them with him when he was searching for Alabama. i was formerly a republican till over the years they evolved into the party of hate,,i.e, Limbaugh and limbauglite aka. hannity. To say nothing about the raving beauties or at least raving Coulter and Ingraham

Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President.

McCain like Bush will bring more threat to our country. Obama/Biden ticket is very strong on national security and Biden as well as Obama is well respected around the world. Obama has better judgment on every single issues that we need on a president than mccain. That is why we must vote Democratic this November to prevent a second 9/11 and have someone who is ready for what ever decission to defend our national security in case of any plot.
Do not listen to the republican scare tactics and believe anything they have to say. The republican is the party we as voters should stay away from this November. They have done enough to our country and the economy and we cannot afford for more years of economic disasters and begging China to lend us money.

Did you know? McCain was hostile in a TIME interview – became hot under the collar when asked to explain current vs. former positions on issues. Did you also know? McCain is preparing an ad to show in battleground states, criticizing Obama's children and asking, "Are they ready to lead?" We need to stop this childish, unethical, untruthful movement!

I will surprised if you post this ad.

This old man can not remember anything wed or thursday it does not matter to Mcshame this guy is a joke.

Why did Mccain cheaton his first wife ? He is a POW
How can Mccain Have 10 houses? He Is A POW
Why is Mccain a Warmonger? He Is A POW
Why would't Mccain wear a Flag pin? He Is A POW
Why Did Mccain Voted 95% of the time With Bush? He Is A POW
Why am I voting for obama?
People being a good Solider does not mean you are a good leader.
Mccain is a follower and Obama is a leader that is the differece.

Russia accused the US of orchestrating the Georgia conflict. Sounds awfully familiar doesn't it? Don't forget that mccain's campaign advisor Black predicted this sort of thing. I wouldn't put anything past the repuglicans. They have fooled us before and they will try to do it again.

Does anybody report the news anymore, or is it all
GOSSIP, INUENDO, and SPIN?

I think the forgotten story of how McCain called for combat troops on Day 1 on of the Georgia crisis is more important than this. The Russians probably dug in deeper and further because of it. Even Bush was not loose enough to call for military action on Day 1.

The Georgian President, Saa....li, called for McCain to send in the troops he promised, and John McCain went silent on the subject. He backed of to merely condemning the Russians, which McCain had criticized Obama for doing.

That was a real international crisis. The "experienced" war veteran saw a combat situation. The "inexperienced" statesman said the same thing the rest of the world said

How will so many people be able to afford the very expensive ticket for the Obama speech in this economy? Must be just rich people will be there.

So, does he know who VP choice is on Thursday 2:09am or does he not? Clarifications are confusing. Bottom line is does he know or he just wants some mediat attention on his confusion?

What? Please folks be nice to the old man.... he needs to retire!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

TO TUCKER BOUNDS:
WHILE MCCAIN WAS IN THE POW CAMP. . .MCCAIN WAS MAKING ANTI-AMERICAN STATEMENTS.

MCCAIN QUOTES "MY COUNTRY COMES FIRST"

TUCKER. . .WHERE IS MCCAIN'S 'STRAIGHT TALK'?

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

CNN and the AP were who was confused, not McCain!

The radio interview was taped Wednesday during the day. When it was taped he hadn't made the final decision. CNN and the AP wrongly (WRONGLY) reported the interview happened Thursday.

Simple.

Who cares?

You know, I hope all of America tunes in to watch McCain and his great new commercial tonight. Then they will have a chance to see Obama and the democrats for what they really are all about. Healthcare, alternative energy, worker rights, the environment, veteran benefits, job creation, science, ending wars that we shouldn't be in. You know the opposite of McCain and the fear party.

IRREGARDLESS AS TO WHEN MCCAIN SPEAKS. . .HIS VOICE CARRIES VERY LITTLE WEIGHT.

MCCAIN IS ALL WASHED UP!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

Wow! Most of the people commenting apparently can't read. What a joke.

Perhaps Putin realized that his aggression is benefiting McCain, whom he doesn't want to deal with, so he had to counter his mistake by accusing McCain of conspiring the Georgian attack.

mccain said no when kerry asked him to be his vp so mccain should do the same even if its romney

If this stufff about the US orchestrating the war in Georgia is true, then you people who still vote for McCain are flat out brainwashed, manipulated idiots

Sounds like "The Straight Talk Express" is off the tracks again. McCain scares me.

he is not the one choosing karl rove will choose for him. he is too old to think for himself. he is nothing but a puppet for the criminals running the country now.

It's Romney.

Mike

the POINT about the house stuff is...

you cant call a person an elitest if you yourself have so many houses, you can't remember the exact number, as you wear $500 shoes and cruise around in wifey's jet...

THAT is the point. I do suspect you are intelligent enough to actually know that, but are just trying to poo-poo the whole entire gaffe.

I'm still waiting McCain supporters....

to voter– wake up–Michelle Obama hasn't worn a cocktail dress .actually thats a 50's term.they don't make them anymore.so you must be McBush's age..

Wow, people complaining about "McCain non-news" on the CNN Ticker amaze me! How many times has this Ticker posted stories about Obama working out?

CNN reported that there were operatives on the ground in GA and South Ossetia. Apparently the Republican play book hasn't been retired. Ahhh if it ain't broke... The American People had better go back a several election cycles and dig up that plan if they want to make change happen. You may want to hurry.

Any one see the RAEL news on CNN? Putin is accusing the US of starting the war in Georgia to benefit one of the presidential candidates. Now who could that be? hmmmm...

I know I said I had made up my mind, but....did I mention i was a prosiner of war for 5 1/2 years???

Just read the Prickly interview McCain gave to Time magazine.
It really showcases his personality or lack there of.

All you idiots I mean Democrats. Watch the movie called "Obsession". You will learn all about Barack Hussein Obama, who he really is and why he's here.

Do yourself a favor!

i believe mccain will announce his running mate on a commercial seconds before Baracks acceptance speech.

big whoop

He doesn't know how many houses he owns..He doesn't know if he picked a V.P.–does he have Alzheimers ? There is something seriously wrong with this man. Thso old Geezer needs to retire NOW !

So they are running a correction to correct the fact that he hasn't selected a VP.......how much did CNN's ratings go up on that NewsBreak!!!!!!

*
John McCain was for the radio ad before he was against the radio ad..

sounds like this is NOT clear judgement..

and so much for running a tight ship.. he is wrong for America.. only wants wars, return the draft, deny veterans benefits from the GI Bill and outsource american jobs... his record skeas for itself.

To all McCain suppoters. I have a challenge for you. I want you to tell me why I should vote for McCain. Now the catch. You aren't allowed to talk negatively about Obama or use the words POW, war or liberal.

I'm waiting...

Still waiting...

Greek columns. Why didn't I think of that?

Perhaps fountains spontaneously spouting will lift Michelle to the top of the stadium so she can walk around the edge in her usual cocktail dress-will someone please get that woman a suit??

And on Friday, a reporter will ask McCain "So John, who's your running mate?"

McCain's answer: "I'll have to have my staff get back to you on that."

Still think he'd like to have Cheney, but Cheney might even think McCain is too "icky" to accept....

This is a very good sign. You can't find anything wrong with the Democrats today, so you're asking about McCain's choice of VP. Do you know that there's a DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION going on?

I guess the campaign didn't tell him who he was going to choose yet. What a leader!

McCain owns the most pairs of flip flops in the senate.

We need good upfront judgment.

OBAMA '08

McCain is a menace to himself and the country.

"McCain / TBA (after Matlock) 08" that is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

BUSH/MCCAIN 08!!!

ROVE/MCCAIN 08!!!

CHENEY/MCCAIN 08!!!

BUSH/MCCAIN 08!!!

ROVE/MCCAIN 08!!!

CHENEY/MCCAIN 08!!!

CNN... get some sleep guys...

If McCain picks Sarah Palin, he wins.

I AM A 22 GUY AND I AM VOTING FOR MCCAIN.
OBAMA IS TOO ARROGANT.....
HILLARY WOULD'VE WON AGAINST MCCAIN.

Ah, McSame.

Just stand in front of the teleprompter and read what Rove's operatives scribbled down there. That it. Good boy.

I am not optimistic about the Republican Convention. The same day it starts there is now a likelihood of a major hurricane coming ashore on the gulf coast. The most likely area, according to TWC, is the New Orleans area. I hope and pray that it turns around, but maybe God is sending a message to the hypocrites of the Republican Party. They think that GOP means God’s Own Party, but some of us know better.

He's putting Condoleeza Rice on the ticket...that's all he has left that can be newsworthy.

It better be Jesus. This guy needs a miracle!

29-August-2008:
Happy Birthday To John McCaine as he turns 72 YEARS OLD.
Congratulations

No way, No how. NO OBAMA

Confused McCain is spreading confusion, he has been spreading fear. Now he has regressed to childish tactics!
People with very low IQ for McCain.

McCain needs handlers to control his moves and verbalizations or else he will continue to prove he is feeble minded.

Oh, thanks so much for the clarification, CNN.

Certainly you are nothing if not accurate!!

please forgive my smirk.....

McCain's best bet would be to pick Joe Lieberman. He's been the best
translator(whispering in ear) for John in briefing him on where he is and whom he's talking about.

NO WAY NO HOW NO MCCAIN.

this "story" is about as interesting as john mccain!

Jon McCain hasn't decided on a running mate yet?

Well, for five and a half years, John McCain could not run, nor have a mate, nor was he allowed to make a decision... IN A POW CAMP!

SURGE!

McCain / TBA (after Matlock) '08

Too much deceit and misdirection... now the GOP's gone and confused the old man.

I'm a recovering republican–The Man is tooooo old!!! He lives in the 20th century and has wound up taking on ALL of the Bush/Carl Rove attitudes. We, intelegent republicans will NO LONGER stand for this!!! This is my country–NOT Carl Roves or corporate America! Go away old man!!! And I'm in my 60's.

I love you dorks that talk about the houses comment. I actually love Romney's response when he was asked the same thing "I have 1 less than John Kerry". If you idiots don't think all politicians have a lot of money, houses, cars, stocks, etc, you're completely lost.

I voted republican all my life and I am 62 years old but I love my grand children that's why I want them to eat three meals a day and that's why I want to vote OBAMA
I have enough from the grocery high prices

Senior moment.

Doesn't matter, people who can think for themselves have already made up their minds who they are voting for. As II said before, next week's weather news will partially obliterate the convention. Mark my words!

This makes just about as much sense as John McCain's campaign.

Cancelled for lack of interest?!

Please, please let it be Romney!!!! I can't wait. There are videos upon videos of him and McSenile going at each other!!! Also, he made his money by investment deals in which lots of people lost jobs. Not to mention the tapes of Huckabee slamming him as a mistake for VP!!! But hey, if he is the best the Repubs can do, what choice do they have?

Yea right.

who cares? And people quit with the no experience thing, they (the repuglicans) said the same thing about Clinton....GWB had experience, enough said on that....Obama has 8 yrs as Illinois Senator and 4 as US Senator. Someone on another blog said he only had 1 yr as senator period which is a LIE! Get your facts straight morons before you try and tear Obama down. BTW john mcsurge has never run a city, state or anything so what experience does he have to run this country other than being a POW, honestly?

The original pick probably declined and now they have to pick someone else.

I would love it if that came out. How funny.

GOBAMA 2008 2012!!!

Wow, it must be a slow news hour

??????????????????

Dear CNN: It's just freaking amazing how your ticker has been a constant barrage of McCain non-news today. Do you think we can't see through you? I think the winds of change are fully upon us in this great country. I think, finally THIS time, you in the 24 hour news cycle business will not be able to push your "corporate agenda" and elect the neo-cons to a third consecutive disastrous term!

Wake up America!

Obama/Biden 08 – our only hope.

How is Obama going to help us out, when he doesn't even help his own brother who lives in a hut?

No one cares Old man McSame

Obama/Biden 08.

WHO CARES??? If he never chooses a VP running mate it will be too soon.

Who CARES??????????????Not US

He doesn't know how many houses he has, so why would he know what day he did an interview!!! LOL!!!!

Huh. So he does know who it is? I'm so confused?
