CNN

Its pathetic that Mr. Bush, oh i mean McCain can claim he is change...im mean, he only voted with bush 95% of the time

McCain can't come with his own "PLATFORM"? Why is he copycating off of OBAMA!! Running off of his military background is not enough? NOT!! You people have better wake up, before the hole is so deep, United States of America will not be able to climb out of it. It's obvious McCains's VP choice has swayed some. I guess some of your intelligences was not insulted. If you choose McCain there is not intelligence. Just plain STUPID!!

Biden himself said that if McCain called him and told him to hop a plane to whatever cause he needed him but couldn't tell him why he would do it and he felt McCain would do it for him also which Tell's us that if an opponent respects and trusts sen. McCain that much we can too and believe he is the one to bring change and prosperity to Washington

Would love to see the titles of the books Palin wanted to ban from the library in her home town.

I want change! I like someone to change the hours I work and change all of my kids diapers all day long. Can obama create some sort of governement program that will help me out with that? if not, I'll settle for less tax, more money in my pocket and confidence that I will not loose my job and maybe I can afford to hire a nanny one day soon.

We know one thing and that is Palin won't tell the truth. Against the bridge to nowhere my foot. I should know, I was for the bridge. I grew up in Alaska and know the reasons behind needing it. I would also like to add she never gave the money back either. Don't believe the hype!

The faces of lies, hypocrisy, distortion, and desperation!

LOL obama and his supporters kee p talking about "Bridge to Nowhere", but they obviously can't get their facts straight (again).
The Alaska Democratic Party had a notice on their web-site lauding Governor Palin for STOPPING the bridge– but of course now that she is the Rep VP nominee they have removed it– Part and Parcel of the obama hypocrisy!!

Life long Democratic voting against the insanity of a socialist administration backed by a far too left liberal Pelosi lead Congress.

McCain and Palin is no more Bush than Obama is JFk...Read the facts before you vote people.

KARL ROVE told McCain to select Sarah Palin.
Bush’s own speech writer wrote Sarah Palin’s Convention speech.
Talk about McSame McCain!

Did I mention I was a smart black man?

They can talk change all they like. What McCain-Palin represents is a third Bush term.

With lipstick.

Take a good look at the headline.

"Candidates talk change to sway undecided."

So tell me, why have the Republicans suddenly start talking about this now? The keywords are TALK, TO, and SWAY.

The change point reveals a lack of ideas with McCain & Palin. They are in essence stealing Obama's message, since they know Obama & Biden offer a new direction from the Bush/Cheney policies adopted by the McCain campaign.

With the support publically from Bush & Cheney today, do the American people need any other reason to understand that McCain & Palin would undoubtedly be a continuation of the disastrous policies of the last eight years? No thanks.

Obama/Biden '08
i Si se puede !

"There's a sucker born every minute." -B.T. Barnum

Dittohead Delight...

Don't be fooled, it will be more of the same if old man McCain and whatsername move into the White House. No change, just a continuation of this country's decline.
And when are they going to let Palin off her leash, isn't it about time she entered the real world and faced the media, without her script.

Obama/Biden 2008

The way this campaign is running out they may as well change it to Palin-McCain...this man has lost his identity...the ideology is the same...the delivery is a white wash over an old fence...its the Same Old Business

I think if you would just look up the facts about Mr. er... uh.. hmmm..er um..Obama, he spent almost a billion dollars on earmarks in what little time he has spent in the senate. You can't argue with facts obamanites. Yeah right, he is really going to fix the economy. Dream on.

If your government's constitution was a design for a new steam engine, that engine now supports nineteen times its design limit capacity due to lacking apportionment and the general ideas of the internal combustion engine, the jet turbine engine are still imaginary amendments which never made it through all the partying and teamed game playing.

Right on

Clara, take your Social Security check and shut up!!! I guess your generation is so used to be in the kitchen and raising the kids that a woman in the White House is scary to you!!

While we all name our children what we like-does anyone find the names of her children strange? That tells me a lot about her. She is NOT a balanced person. Wanting your children to stand out and be different is one thing we all want that but it appears Ms. Female '08 and her do-nothing husband were on crack or something when she chose these names. Honestly, she is not someone I would put in charge of anything.

McCain regularly crosses party lines. Palin took on corruption in her own party. Obama has never done either.

It's quite obvious which candidates can stop the Washington partisan gridlock.

Guess what's gonna change with an McCain/Palin ticket. No birth control, no abortion, no rights for woman for many many years.
Sarah Palin "walks the talk", her daughter is the prime example...
pregnant teenagers for Palin! yah

One more thing McCain had even thought about changing parties and being a Democrat at one point.

Sounds like Bush to me oh yeah.... sure... yeah.

McCain isn't BUSH!!!!!

I would be surprised if they even like each other.

McCain chose Palin to help his base so he can get back to what he really thinks and does not have to worry about ticking off the right and talk about his feelings and thought about both parties.

McCain has a track record of not being afraid of ticking off his own party do to what is right.

He is not your fathers Republican.

(do they still make Oldsmobiles?)

I'm just glad I don't have any ties to the Palin family, so I don't have to fear for my job if Palin goes on another spite-kick.

Has anyone realized that Palin is not allowed to campaign on her own. Biden was up and running right after he was selected. Palin is has to be babysat until she learns all the rules of McCain land.

I've seen BO change about 50 times SINCE he got the nomination. The latest being his opinion on the surge. BTW anyone notice he'll be on Keith Obamann tonight while O'Reilly is airing the second portion on his interview? I only hope Keith doesn't try to kiss the love of his life on national TV.

I saw a comment on security and terrorism earlier on the boards. Need we actually mention who was in charge on 09/11/2001. George W. Bush (and his Republican chronies) were running the White House, and the Republicans controlled Congress. How is it that the Republicans are the national security party, when the worst terrorist attack on the country occurred on their watch?

yes, the change that the democrats need, the democratic Karl Rove or a couple of them, he and how about a left wing channel?

For all the "less than intelligent" americans voting McCain / Palin....I really wish I would have been able to sell you that beach front property in Arizona....oh that's right....no beaches in AZ. Well it appears the future GOP VP would build a bridge to ???????...in all fairness, she was for it before she was against it.

You guys get the "boobee prize" for idiocy. Palin's education looks like somebody that would be lucky to get a job as a manager at the local Burger King. A degree in Journalism after 5 different schools???
Well she can read...I'll give her that much

Same failed economic policies.
Same failed energy policies.
Same failed national security policies.
McCain = Bush – 10%
That ain't much Change!

You can not be in washington for 26 years and advocate change. Mccain is more of the same, he can not be a change when he votes 90% of the time with Bush.

Wow more paid Obama staffers in here...Obama must have hired more, CNN is dripping with them. Palin will have no record, she broke no laws and did nothing wrong. This is just another lie being told by the Obama camp. They lied about McCain military record, they lied about The Forrestal Disaster. They lied about Palin's last child not being her, they lied about the whole plane on ebay thing, they lied about teh bridge to nowhere...heck Obama's staffers just keep lying. Poor factcheck.org has been swamped reported all the lies, I just looked seems to misspeacks reported is about 2 to 1 and Obama has to the 2.

McCain will serve the few, the proud, the Lobbyists.

Thank you Candace from Texas! CNN, what's up with the heavy coverage of Palin.? She's not running for President (and God help us with an old McCain ) CNN, you are being journalistically irresponsible -and that is NOT whining! Some equal time, please. Running stories about minor Dem politicians complaining about who Obama woulda shoulda picked as VP are not newsworthy. We have FOX doing that already. Please live up to professional journalistic standards.

Look on You Tube. Watch Sara Palin killing wolves. Her 'world view' of people, policies and animals is sickening. Independent voters, do you want an uqualified Right Wing Extremist President?

Independents, please consider the economic failure, the Iraq debacle and most especially how you life really is and how it will be with another Bush at the helm. Please don't let the trick pony Palin and the words "maverick" fool you.

Expect one change with McCain that we WILL all get: name tag replacement

Good luck...

REWIND THE TAPE, The fact that she said she "PUT" it on Ebay and McCain said she "made a profit" IMPLIES that it was sold for profit on Ebay. At best it's a manipulative half-truth. At worst: A BOLD-FACED LIE!

they cheat, they lie, they steal...

They stole Obama's slogan. Get your own ideas.

McSame is not change.

One way to put the record straight is for the news media to start reporting and vetting all of Sarah Palin's views through her voting record and statements before the general election and not just taking what she is saying now as gospel (pardon the pun!). She is an extreme right wing conservative who advocates praying to God for everything we need just for starters. Haven't heard anything from CNN or Fox about her pastor or her own speeches before her church telling people that God will tell us what to do. And the outrageous talk from one of her pastors about Jews hasn't been aired yet either. People are following blindly what McCain and Palin say in their ads on on the trail because you are not reporting the truth of Palin's views. I expect that the debate will also be slanted to show Palin in a favorable light lest you be accused of being sexist! This is an outrage! Do your jobs!

RETURN THE TAPE, The fact that she said she "PUT" it on Ebay and McCain said she "made a profit" IMPLIES that it was sold for profit on Ebay. At best it's a manipulative half-truth. At worst: A BOLD-FACED LIE!

Do you honestly believe what these people say? Did you believe GW when he was running for term 1 and/or term 2? If you had a part in putting Bush in office you should understand just how bad your judgment is and sit down, shut up and let us rescue you from your own mistakes... I am my brothers keeper!

McCain and sarah, We know your plan, stop lying to our people, pleased

Obama = Change? Yeah, right... Obama "vision for America" is the same, tired, socialism that's never succeeded in doing anything but draining our wallets and creating enormous governments of stupefying incompetence.

McCain = Change? Yeah, right... McCain's "vision for America" is the same, tired, overbearing foreign policy that's never succeeded in doing anything but draining our wallets, alienating what few allies we have left, and making us the most thoroughly despised country on the planet.

We don't get sensible choices anymore–we get a choice between a left-extremist, Big Government, Nanny State and a right-extremist, Big Government, near-fascist state. The Democrats, though they'll deny it, practice the pernicious Marxist doctrine of "from each according to ability," that being a good description of "progressive" taxation, while the Republicans practice the pernicious fascist doctrines paranoia and profound distrust of the citizenry. Democrats think we're all children incapable of managing our own affairs without their "help." Republicans think we're all terrorists.

A plague on the lot of them.

Wake Up America!
Watch Bush's convension speech in 2000, everything he said turned out to be a lie! Now watch McCains speech and everything he said was 90% of what Bush said in 2000....hello people!!!!

Republicans Lie to win...
We say change, now they say change...
We almost nominate a women for vice, then they do...
We say energy indepenence, now they say energy indepenence...
We say global warming is real, now they say its real...
We say green ecomomy, now they say green economy...
We say lets get bin ladan, now they say get get him...
We say recession, now thay say recession...

Obama/Binden 08/12

If Hillary as any visions, of her own Daughter entering "Politic's"; one day. She can't afford to beat-up on Sarah Palin... 2001 is about change??

Ummm, Mr "Rewind the tape"

She didn't say she sold it on eBay... you are correct... BUT McDeaf said it... more than once...

Which speaks to his lack of respect for her (and women in general)... McPig doesn't listen to women... he could care less about what a woman thinks or says...

Help me if you can!

The media is sickening. What has Sarah Palin done for Alaska Really??? The media will do anything for news. I don't believe the polls or the media. Let's see what happens November 4th.

Desperate, desperate democrats. Comparing Obama to Jesus is pathetic. Pontius Pilate to Palin? For the record Pilate washed his hands of the whole thing. The people yelled Barabas, give us Barabas...Break out the wallets Obama-bots, give until your broke.

A comment on rewind the tape. It was McCain that said she sold it on ebay and for a profit, which also is not true. The GOP's are braced to play down and dirty! Lest we dare to forget the last eight years! It will get much worse if these two are calling the shots. I pray everyday that Obama will win. He's a good and decent man. He is the leader we really need that can bring change. For awhile I thought Palin was pretty, but the lies and digs make her less attractive each day!

No originality McCain. Shows me how much less of a man you are. Come up with ideas of your own and stop biting. Maybe if you would have talked about change 26 years ago we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in.

I dont , want to repeat the same old thing s for the next 4yr , pleased
McCain and sarah , please stop fooling the public. please, please.

What are they mavericks of? They don't even discuss policy issues. You don't hear about their views on the economy, healthcare, jobs or the war. They are not for change. The only reason McCain might win is because she is a woman. She's entirely too conservative. Palin will take away a woman's right to choose. Be careful who you vote for!

That's right CNN-keep on trying to fool us. So they THINK they finally found an answer to Obama? The American people will show them in November they HAVEN'T. McCain and his "female" whatever will be out of sight and out of mind real soon.

McCain/Female '08. What a joke.

I love this country! I'm going to go out and run red lights, lie to my wife and kids, and punch the next old lady I see in the face. Why? Because I'm the new MAVERICK according to the GOP definition. I follow no ones rules but my own.

How is it that McCain never mentioned the word "CHANGE" until he was in the last throws of the campaign and suddenly has chose to use buzz words like HOPE, CHANGE, and the need for everyone to do more for their country?

I guess mimicking someone is the greatest compliment of them all. If that is the case we might has well vote for the candidate he is mimicking – OBAMA.

Obama/Biden 08

> I'm just grateful no one ever mentions the fact that I've voted 96% of the time with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Last time I looked, these weren't the yahoos that drove this country into the ground. I hope that you are fluent in Cantonese... you will need to be when you are cleaning toilets for your new employers.

Why didn't McCain have a change message when he started his campaign? He represents a change for the worst. He is part of the problem in Washington that needs fixing. He is not change, just more of the same.

John McCain is a Republican joke. If he becomes president, the only change we're going to see is the color of our troops uniforms. He's not yelling the words "Victory" for nothing! I smell an alternative motive stemming from 40 years ago. He never has anything to say about the economy because he doesn't care about it. He doesn't have to worry about not being able to pay for gas or how he's going to pay for his mortgage. He doesn't even have to worry about not having a job.The only thing he's concerned about is the war. I know the people of America are smarter then McCain thinks they are.

Here is a list of the things that the McCain/Palin ticket would change

1. No choice for women
2. Extended war-extended war profiteering by military contractors
3. Mandatory Military Draft
4. Reduction in your rights by appointing extreme right wing judges

Bush/Cheney have had a good time giving tax cuts to the RICH, so I guess that wouldn't change under McCain.

Please people wake up and smell the real change!

Should she and McSelf be wary that bush likes her as his pick.? she could be called palinbush.....oh, oh. but realy,,,she should get ALL her facts straight....yeh,know staight talk express...and all........there are many articles and people that have put the REAL story out on the web......she was first FOR the bridge to no-where. Google Sen ted Stevens or 527 group for him that she was in charge of. Google her lt. gov campaign $ she recieved, or Veco Corp. for the tie that binds....but that is only if you wnat to know the truth......maybe she should check out all her stories before she does anymore interviews............or adds.She should also be very maindful of all the people that may not be bought.....ex: trooper-gate,on-going investigation........

Truth can be described like this: like oil in water it will soon rise to the surface... for all to see.

When this FARCE is exposed, the republican party will face great humiliation. I hope it lingers until days before the election to eliminate the spin, lies, and damage control that they are so adept at.

"Pride goes before destruction." To my evangelical friends, please tell who wrote these words. I would be SHOCKED if any of you know.

The only change that the repub could bring is changing bathroom stalls. No thank larry or john and the repubics, I don't care about your family values.

Someone please tell Gov. Palin that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are not government institutions but private corporations. She seems to have a hard time with this economics stuff. Good thing that the country is in such fine shape with respect to the economy and to housing. Otherwise, we'd all be up h*ll's creek.

REWIND THE TAPE September 8th, 2008 3:56 pm ET

This may be the wrong place to say this but CNN please post to get this straight once and for all.

Palin DID NOT say she "SOLD" that jet on Ebay.
Rewind the tape…she said, and I quote:
"I PUT it on Ebay. She PUT it on Ebay

______________________________

You are correct, BUT McCain and or members of His Campaign said the plane was SOLD on e-bay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just keep on with the lies, the American people have consistantly proved to be stupid and gullible and will fall for it. The republican lie and smear machine puts the greatest ones in history to shame.

Bush deregulated the mortgage industry.
--------------

Wasn't the true architect of the de-regulation McCain's economic advisor, Phil "Mental Recession," "Nation of Whiners" Gramm?

The hate goes on...

News for all those that think McCain is using, steeling, somehow Obamas talking point of change.

McCAIN IS NOT BUSH...... NEVER WAS NEVER WILL BE.

McCain has worked across the isle and will continue to do so if he wins this race or not.

McCain Kennedy..... McCain Feingold

McCain has a track record that is in the senate record NOT JUST WORDS.

Palin is not a GOP stooge and has battled her OWN party (as well as McCain)

They (McCain/Palin have a true REAL track record of CHANGE not JUST WORDS.

It could easily be said OBAMA isn't the Change candidate but just talks about change and a fantasy love fest future (inhaled one to many times I think)

(BTW polls do use cell phones go to gallups web site and look for yourselves at their methods)

The Geezer and the Gimmick are not what America needs for the next four years.

how different can McCain really be if he voted with Bush over 90% of the time, and Cheny and Bush have recently voiced their approval for McCAin's vp pick?

so far, all I've really seen the McCain campaign do is to try to appeal to people's sense of patriotism, their fears and their sympathy. overall, they seem to be stoking a lot of emotion but they aren't providing anything substantial.

someone once said "It is very fortunate for those in power that people do not think." and it occurs to me that McCain/Palin are hoping for precisely that.

McCain/Palin lead in polls for the first time...

Obama lost a 7 point lead in a week...

Keep talking Barry... and attacking women and children... CHANGE... yea right...

Lovin it.... just laughing myself silly...

Thanks DNC... pick a joke... this is what you get... and you know Hillary is LOVING IT

If she PUT it on ebay and it didn't sell, what was the point of mentioning it?

Note to the Republicans: If you are going to claim Palin has more executive experience than Obama, that also means Palin has more executive experience than McCain. You cannot have it both ways!

Tell me what I should think. . . . . .

How could anyone vote for another republican after all of the tragedies that we have experienced with these guys in charge? HAVEN'T WE SUFFERED ENOUGH?

Please...how stupid does McCain think we are???? Obama has had change as part of his campaign from the beginning and now he's trying to steal it yet everything Palin and him stand for is more of the same. They actually think that we are going to believe this garbage?? Tragically, some people will because they don't do the research it takes to make an informed decision. They will just vote on personality or gender. How pathetic that this woman doesn't believe that humans haven't had an impact on climate change. We are so far behind the rest of the world as it is on this issue and it will just get so much worse if they are elected. NOTHING will get done then more of our children's future will be hijacked! I am so sick and tired of falling behind on climate change, education, etc. etc. How could people not be tired??

The measure of any Exec is who they have brought along to replace them when they leave or are promoted. Who is in line to replace Palin at the helm in Alaska on the off chance McBush is elected?

It seems to me the media black-out of Palin by McBush is a pretty good indicator of how he will communicate with the press when, on the off chance he is elected, he is Prez.

If the picking of Palin was to appeal to women who were Hillary believers somebody read the tea leaves wrong. That poor little soul cannot hold a candle to Hillary Clinton.

Palin is already looking tired with all the preliminary trotting around on the campaign trail. She and McBush are starting to look alike, you know, like old married people!

Dems.—here's your problem:

You are trailing in the polls
-----------------

And last week McCain was trailing in the polls. I'M not trailing anywhere.

As for the rest of your post, I tried to type it, but my brain nearly exploded.

Talking change is like trying to solve algebra by chewing gum. We need new blood, not Methuselah and more right wing extremist.

Just keep asking the importnant questions like:

UNDER WHO'S PLAN WILL I PAY LESS INCOME TAX? Obama's or McCains?

(I earn less than 80K)

just tell us what to think. . . we'll believe anything!

Sorry McCain-Palin, Nobody will believe that you are the candidate for change. The only one who represent Hope and Change is President Barack Obama. MacCain you are a joke and you will loose in Novemver.

Yes We Can!

Maybe its just me but doesn't or isn't this beginning to seem like an episode out of signfield? How about this, istn't Palin elaines daughter that she had by Kramer (we know he's a republican) and Mccain's is George Costanza ahahahahahahahahahahaha– Tell a lie long enough and people will believe it as truth.....

Gibson better ask the tough questions to Palin or I will Boycott his news program.

As a woman and a college graduate, I work 7 days a week because I still have a balance of $40 thousand on my student loan. I can't find a job that pays good enough to pay my bills. And if VOTERS vote because of GOOD LOOKS-I will probably paying my student loan until I retire and will never have a chance to own my own home.

Sarah Palin so far hasn't discuss IMPORTANT ISSUES that affects average American lives. Instead, she mocks OBAMA FOR HIS WORK AS A "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER". The economy is in great dispair with unemployment at 6.1%, the devaluation of American dollar abroad NO WONDER we lost the respect we deserve around the world. WE AVERAGE AMERICANS WORK HARD BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE A PRETTY BLEAK FUTURE IF THIS TREND CONTINUES.

VOTERS, PLEASE STUDY THE ISSUES THAT AFFECTS OUR DAILY LIVES.

CNN PLEASE POST THIS!

McCain has spent 26 years in Washington!!!

And only NOW is he interested in "change" and "reform"????

What a sham. Where was McCain championing windmills and solar power for the last 3 decades???? Oh I forgot, he was vetoing.

did mccain use the same speech on his stop on friday that he used for his acceptance speech thursday?

The rich get richer. . . . . . . .

McCain can take over the term "Change" because Obama has failed to even tell us what the Change is. Now he falls back on the whining and blame. Liberals should be ashamed of throwing away what should be an easy election.

go Green Party.

I don't know. I think McCain and Palin both lack what this country needs. Aside from Palin's ridiculous past which is riddled in scandal already (mind you, it's only been ten days since she's been "vetted" which I find hard to say), which I don't believe I need to go into detail for, or McCain's total lack of what is going on in today's society, I just don't think believe either of them, no matter how hard I try, can bring change to this country. However, I'm not the biggest fan of Obama, and it's true he does have less experience than McCain in Washington, but I think he's better than McPalin. Personally I think the only solid foundation of change to be broughten to this country would be by the hand of Ron Paul, but of course, he's too much for the repubs right now. I think if Obama brings America back on the right track during his presidency term, than I believe Ron Paul should step in and lead this country to prosperity.

They are going to lies their way to the white house, only blood sucker
will vote for them.

The Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square September 8th, 2008 3:47 pm ET

If you think Palin is tough wait til you meet Putin.

Right. Palin is so tough that she can't even face questions from the press. Campbell Brown is to tough for her.

WHAT WILL COME NEXT...FROM THE GOP...THEY MIGHT CLAIM THEY ARE DEMS JUST TO GET VOTES. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT HAS BEEN OBAMA'S SLOGAN FROM THE START HE NEVER CHANGED IT..PLS TELL MCPALIN TO STICK TO THEIR STRAIGHT LIES EXPRESS AND TO XEROX BO'S SLOGAN...THINK FOR URSELF LIKE U ALWAYS CLAIM TO BE...AS FOR PALIN KEEP UP WITH THE GREAT LIES IT WILL CATCH UP TO YOU SOON.
FROM CHICAGO

Has everyone noticed how the Obama Campaign doesn't have anything positive to discuss anymore. What happened to the new "changed" way of running a campaign. The Obama team is doing exactly what they renounced as "old style" politics. They 1st blamed Hillary and then the Republicans for running campaigns based on fear and the throw the kitchen sink mentality. Now that Obama is no longer ahead in the polls, he turned out to be no better than Hillary or McCain.

Change is a good word for McCain and Palin. It seems they change their stands on everything to make it work for them. Look at their records, votes, whatever. John McCain will DO or SAY anything to get elected and Sarah Palin is just like him. I wonder about a Mother who chooses to campaign instead of spending time with her son before he is deployed. A quick good bye and she can get back to the most important thing in her life... campaigning to be VP.

Mr McCain, and his SO call V.p. Our GoD is in control of the election.
long live Obama our next president. McCain and his V.P, they are ad a lie.

I wish that the Media would do a side by side comparision between the actual/proposals of the Bush/Cheney with both MCCain/Palin and Obama/Biden on the following issues:

Energy
Health Care
Education
Iraq War
Afghan War
Foreign Policy
Taxes
Housing Crisis
Ethics
Airmarks
Abortion
Supreme Court justices

I bet you will find that 90-95% of the time McCain/Palin will align with Bush/Cheney which equals no change and no improvement.

Incidentally, where's McCain's flag pin? He raised a stink about Obama appearing in public without one, but he doesn't need on for himself, presumably because he was a POW.

It's about time we sent someone to Washington who could bury the hatchet some place besides their opponents head.

Bravo–McCain.

As a 65 year old American, I am appalled that half the people in this country would actually vote for the war-mongering/no ideas John McCain and the ignorant (yes, ignorant), religious kook Sarah Palin. It is definitely a sad commentary on our political sense and makes me glad I have no grandchildren to bear the brunt of such stupidity. Are you all that scared of a smart black man? I'm sorry for you.

Barry seems upset....so do the rest of the left wing nuts. They should be.......they're behind in the polls....and the debates haven't even started. Wait til McCain destroys Obama in the debates!!

Woo-Hoo!!! McCain/Palin – the experience and change we need in a ticket!!!

Yeah, the big question is how to get change - by re-electing the party that brought us the past 8 years, or by throwing the bums out.

Tough question.

Right.

I live in a state where pitbulls are outlawed...lol!

Don't believe the HYPE. They had EIGHT YEARS of total control!!!

Why put another republican BACK in the White House?? I don't get it. They are going to fix the mess they made??!?

Fix the mess, vote Dem.

This may be the wrong place to say this but CNN please post to get this straight once and for all.

Palin DID NOT say she "SOLD" that jet on Ebay.
Rewind the tape...she said, and I quote:
"I PUT it on Ebay. She PUT it on Ebay

If the media would keep calling Palin/McCain ticket out on their lies, Palin would have to come out of hiding....work smarter people!

How stupid do you have to be as a voter, to believe that my party, the one in charge of the government for the last 8 years and completely screwed this country up, is the right party to "change" Washington?

The sad part is 45% of you will believe it. Wake up people, vote these Rovian morons out of my party for god's sake. Let us moderates take it back.

I'm just grateful no one ever mentions the fact that I've voted 96% of the time with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

For Real Change! You would need to throw Religion. Out of Politics...

Change ? Read Anne Kilkenny's letter from Alaska. "During her mayoral administration most of the actual work was turned over to an administrator". "During her 6 years as Mayor she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. She was not tolerant of divergent opinions and tried to fire the City Librarian because she refused to consider removing from the library books that Palin wanted removed..". And so on, and so on.
To think that Ms. Palin could become VP and then President is the MOST HORRENDOUS thing that could happen to this country. Haven't we seen enough with Bush ? Please people, use your brain !

Hmm, end the "hyper partisanship in Washington," eh? Sounds like Palin-McCain are claiming to be "uniters, not dividers." Where have I heard that nonsense before?

If McCain and Palin want to change things in Washington, why are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney so excited about them both? McCain and Palin will do nothing to change Washington because they are what's wrong with Washington.

The Republican mindset, fully adopted by John McSame, has driven this country to the brink of disaster. Right wing nut job panderers like Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney are the absolute Worst thing for this country.

Hey, the past 8 years weren't that bad. I'm financially secure and I have financially made our four children secure. Vote for McCain and I can have my grandchildren financially secure. Enough $ is never enough for me. I like McCain!

As a Canadian, it may be none of my business to make a statement on your election, however... It is inconcievable to Canadians how Bush was elected by the American people twice and while we in Canada will suffer eventually due to his economic policies, or lack thereof, many in my country believe the wrong would soon be righted by electing a Democrat. If McCain is elected, you've all gotten exactly what you deserve. The World now hates the U.S..I don't think its a bold statement .I think you might ask yourselves why?

Why couldn't McCain pick governor of any other state for VP? You know...governor of Texas, Louisiana or one of the many other well known EXPERIENCED names. NO, he had to pick a woman, an unknown person from a faraway land just because he wanted female votes.
Now he is making a brouhaha over nothing. A case of empty vessel making the most noise.
Palin is a pacifier for Hillary supporters, and another trophy to stand behind McCain.

Obama votes party line 98% of the time.

How is this change??

OBAMA does well from behind. McCain is trying to steal OBAMA change message. The only change McCAIN not able and Palin =Pain will delive is more Cain=Pain!

OBAMA-BIDEN, the realy CHANGE n 08!

There will be no CHANGE..
OBAMA talked about turning the page in the primary and then first think he did is chose is the OLD Dem .. So instead of going to next page he started from page -1 of same book.

Atleast McCain is thinking future by selecting a young VP. So please, If someone is talking about change of future is McCain not Obama.

And I would ask debetors not to ask tough questions to Obama because he can't answer tough questions.

Also, Since Obama can't answer tough questions, that PROVES he is NOT READY. he will attack Pakistan with which army? same army from Iraq wiill go to Pakistan ( if that happens) so how is he promising to bring troops home ( change?? )

AMERICANS ARE NOT STUPID!

The Repubs will say anything to get votes.

McSame voted 90% of the time with Bush, that means he's in agreement with Bush.

LET'S DO THE CELLPHONE POLLS.

WHERE ARE THE COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS? UNITE! REGISTER VOTERS!

LET'S SHOW THE REPUBS WHAT TRUE CHANGE IS.

McCain's got a great strategy: when you don't have a message of your own, try to steal the opponent's and claim he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Interesting. Obama supporters decrying his lack of coverage. Priceless.

Amen, Roger!

Obama has run his entire campain on lies and deceit from the very beginning of his campaign and you never complained.

"Bridge to Nowhere" is not a lie – Palin did stop it (didn't she?) when as governor she learned more valuable information and facts about it and became a critic of the bridge.

Just admit it, Democrats, YOU ARE SCARED, that you may just lose this very election. But you know what, Obama will be the only cause of your defeat. He should have swaollowed his pride and pick Hilary as his running mate. The whole thing would have been over by now if Hilary was on your his ticket.

McCain/Palin it is!

Republicans repeating lies until people think they are true? is that new? That was Bush's entire presidency! How about people actually THINK before they vote?!!? that would be a nice change.

factcheck.org is out there, exposing lies on both sides, everyone should read it!

If only McCain could have gotten rid of the lobbyist from his campaign, he

would have had a chance, sadly no so. McCain= more of the same

So it's still 2 weeks and counting.....And Sarah Palin still has yet to do a real interview with the media.

I guess that's what happens when you don't have the "Experience" to handle the media spotlight.

Let's talk "Change" for a minute. When does McCain "change" and explain how he qualified for flight school given his abysmal record at Annapolis?

When does Cindy McCain "change" and release her tax statements?

Then VP-candidate Palin can explain how she "changed" her tune on the Bridge To Nowhere when it became obvious it wasn't going to fly?!

CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN? – OBAMA / BIDEN – 2008!!!

Perhaps the Republicans should have placed cowboy Annie on the top of the ticket since McCain obviously isn't appealing to his base. If the stupids get suckered again and we endure another four years of republicanism, I'm seceding from the union and taking SC with me...at least until the next election.

Well, looks like Obama should've picked Hillary. Nice "judgement" Barack. You just handed the presidency over to the Republicans. Well, you were never ready to lead anyway....

George W. Bush endorses Palin so what else does America need to determine Palin undoubtedly is the "right" choice to continue Bush's 3rd term. There's nothing wrong with the economy, "it's on the right path" and McCain/Palin will keep it moving in the future on the same path. So stop whinning.

Can't win using your own campaign slogan? Hey why not steal your opponent's? People seem to like that whole CHANGE idea – where did he come up with that?

Imagine that you have a simple life. You have no reason to "think" beyond it.
- Would you like to pay less taxes? (yes)
- Is the economy affecting you? (Well... as the frog said: "The water may be a little bit warmer, but that is fine, I won't jump out of the cooking pot".)
- What about Iraq/security? (There has been no attack since 9/11. Iraq and the War on Terror work fine.)
- Alternative sources (green) of energy? (What? It is gallon of gas what is expensive! Just need more US produced oil.)
- Health care, global warming, erosion of Constitution/freedoms, US standing in the world, etc? (Too complicated for a simple life.)
So then, who would you vote for? Perhaps for "more of the same"?
(The hardest thing is to convince someone that his/her life is not as simple! Who doesn't want a simple life?)

How soon we forget....dirty politics works, we the American people are easily swayed by false advertising and "stretched" truths. , proving once anain that we fall for anything!
OBAMA in 08

The only thing they want to change is which Republican will sit in that office. I can't believe that all it takes to be the VP now is to believe in abortion and make speech saying absolutely nothing.

This morning it was pretty quite from the Obama followers what with the new poll numbers and all. You and your horrible comments and opinions are what have turned many away from Obama. You should have been nicer it would have helped your candidate.

You said Mr. Obama could win this race without Hilary. I don't think so. Another loss for the Democrats is in the making.

What a big joke. Talk about calling the kettle black. Obamas whole campaign has been one big lie. Someone at CNN should have the gonads to tell the folks out their that Congress rpt Congress is where earmarks come from. Wake up folks.

Yes, when your message isn't working, simply co-opt the message of your opponent. Typical Rove strategy.

Face it people, McCain is just more of the same, with even less charisma-

Sarah Palin in just Bush in a skirt, with even less book learnin'.

CNN: Shame on you for not vetting this farce of a running mate.

Remember "my friends" the so called convervative is in office now. Dick Chaney. The most influential VP ever that may pull the strings to Bush. Now Palin is the so called conservative and is a BARACUDA lol kind of funny but scary. Do we really want another Bush term. Lets think about that.

Why does Sarah Mcpain point her fingers at us when she speaks??? It is so annoying. I can see right through her, I see an ugly BEAST, just like LIEBERMAN and GUILIANI and CHENEY ..... such a GANG. We are doomed. Help us GOD!!!!!

Obama08

I'm sorry, but the GOP is out of touch, or must think all of us are mindless sheep. I keep hearing the charge that Obama has the most liberal voting record in the Senate. I'm not contesting that fact because that is not my point.

My point is that if the GOP wishes to promote itself as the "agent of change", which means a departure from what Bush supports and wants to do, then why shed so much light on the fact that your opponent has opposed what Bush stands for more than you have? I could say the same about the Democrats, the GOP keeps handing you a talking point and you fumble the ball.

PALIN________ HAS ______NO ___RECORD____YET___TROLL______SHE_____WILL___SOON___A ___CRIMINAL____RECORD____LOL______BYE

The only thing these two are "changing" is diapers. Johns' and Trigs!

YOU FOOL NO ONE !!

So I'm just waiting for the time when the GOP takes the "training" wheels off of Sarah (the intern) Palin.

How much longer are they going to "hide" her from the media… . Is she even allowed to do an interview by herself yet??

One kid named after a hunting skill. One named after the city where ESPN (Palin's true aspiration) is based. One whose second middle name is Van (Trig Paxson Van Palin) so it sounds like Van Halen.

I mean, these are really the people we want in charge?

There tract record confirms their lies!

I guess America wants more of the same for the next four years, not suprised how stupid we are.

MODS WHY DO YOU ALLOW THIS????

BTW SARAH FAILIN IS ABOUT TO GET A "RECORD" ALRIGHT tick tock tick tock

Did anyone read People magazine this week? Palin talks about being pregnant with her youngest, Trig, and about how she didn't tell anyone about her pregnancy because she wasn't sure if she was ready for a special needs child. This sounds to me like she was ashamed and had to make the decision on whether or not she would either a)abort or b) give the child up for adoption.

The point is, is that we live in a country where we have the freedom to make that decision, and she wants to take that CHOICE away from any other woman!

Please print CNN!

I hope Palin gets the midnight call. This "Warrior for God" has exclusive rights to nucular decisions?....OMG!

Or you could just make stuff up, lie to the voters, deny your own record, etc. Kinda like what the Repugnicants are doing.

McCain: Putting the "Old" in Grand Old Party.

Sarah Palin is nothing more than a "concept" , invented by the Republican party.Kind of like what "Mrs. Butterworth" is to syrup; or "Ronald" is to McDonalds.

She is nothing more than a "faceperson" for the GOP. They only put her on the "ticket", for the purpose of pandering to women and conservative voters.

She is not even qualified to govern a "major" state in this country

Bush deregulated the mortgage industry.

And now we are where we are with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Is the American public capable of learning from their mistakes, or will they vote for a Republican again and expect different results?

McCain has a track record of voting with Bush 90% of the time. Palin has a track record of cutting funding for critical social programs, fighting to get earmarks from Washington, and pushing a far-right Christian fundamentalist social agenda.

Moderate my rear end.

Obama voters–spending time countering these articles is a waste of your time. Make a contribution, volunteer, talk to undecided voters. Preaching to the choir or countering MCSame Kool-Aid drinkers here and elsewhere is a waste of time. The stakes are too high in November. Just remmber that John and Sarah, like most Republicans will say anything or do anything to get elected. For Republicans, it is not about government, in which they don't believe anyway, it is about power.

There is no change here...the same lies, same call for their version of change(change the facts) The Republican party has gone back in time to the 19th Century.

Talking change is great, but how about talking to the media? Sign the Interview Sarah Palin Now petition!

CNN you are being so biased....where is Obama???? He has not been a main headline in about a week....Palin is not running for President...Obama is...let us hear and see Obama more!!!! We don't care about the VP's...they need to be in the back ground... America needs to see that the choice is clear... between McCain and Obama!

Who are these people that are being polled? I really find it hard to believe that McShame is leading in the polls. These polls are just to make news and make everyone think oh my God what are people thinking when they are going to vote for McCain. I find it really funny too that McCain is ripping off Obama's platform. Only after McCain realized that he is not going to win did he decide to change his thinking and steal Obama's idea of change. What a joke McCain is and I think that everyone knows that he doesn't stand a chance when we all vote in November.

Obama-Biden '08

The fact that the slogan "change" was stealthily adopted by the RNC is proof their chosen ones are incapable of thinking for themselves.

McCain and Palin do not stand for change. McCain is a Bush Partisan, and Palin does not differ from the Right on anything. They are jokes.

Obama/Biden 08. The change we need.

There is no honor amongst thieves. They are trying to steal "change
theme" from Obama because experience was not working.

The only change about John McCain is that he changed himself this year to appease the extreme right-wing of his party.

Sen. McCain is becoming more like Gov. Palin.

Shouldn't the VP candidate become more like the presidential candidate than the other way around?

I see O bama is crying again. Won't it ever stop/ How about some cheese Obama

If you think Palin is tough wait til you meet Putin.

You are so green it is pathetic,

Go McCain

McCain and Palin

A Bridge to Nowhere

Exactly. Swing voters don't want socially conservative views!

That's why I could never in a million years vote McCain-Palin – because she is an extreme social conservative. If McCain had picked someone else, he could have had a chance with this Independent.

The GOP is a bunch of stooges, John McCain is a joke and Sarah Palin is the punch-line!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN & PALIN!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

YES WE CAN!

Dems.-here's your problem:

You are trailing in the polls-Sarah Palin rules.

How the heck can Bush determine or even have a comment about McCain's pick?? His experience as a governor didn't help him in the White House obviously. Look who he picked for a VP???? that should tell you enough that McCain's pick for VP is just as wrong as Bush is! She is nothing but another another Bush and will be the one in the White making the excutive decisions not McCain! and that is a very scary thought! Just like Dick Cheney runs the White House and makes all the calls...she will be running McCain and telling him what to do! This is sickening!!!!
