    Talk about economic power to cleanup this mess takes the best. With Pres. Bill Clinton on Barack Obama's side change is coming. No need to worry about McCain and Palin, they don't have anything to talk about that concerns our economy.

    Good, and thanks to Bill and Hillary. Please help bring this nasty
    campaign back to Obama.

    I am appalled at the use of the terms, "Lipstick on a Pig."
    John McCain seems to have invented the term. On Chis Matthers,
    Hardball, Chris mentioned that John McCain used this against
    Hillary when they were campaigning. And John McCain's former
    Press Secretary wrote a book named, LIPSTICK ON A PIG.
    Personally all I want to learn about is issues. I hate this Padin
    thing and can't believe John McCain lets her do all the speaking.
    THE DEMOCRATS CANNOT LOSE THIS ELECTION. NO WAY!

    DISGUSTING................SO, BIG DEAL, WHO CARES? OBAMA IS GOING TO LOSE ANYWAY! NO WAY WILL OBAMA WIN! HE HAS NO QUALIFICATIONS, NO EXPERIENCE, NOT ONE SINGLE ACCOMPLISHMENT THAT HE CAN NAME. JUST HOW FAR WILL HE GET ON ONE WORD? CHANGE! THE WHOLE SCENARIO IS RIDICULOUS....AND OBAMA SHOULD QUIT NOW.

    Comment to previous article: Biden: Clinton 'Might Have Been a Better Pick' for VP

    To me this is a BREAKING NEWS!!!

    I was undecided. But now looks like Dem VP nominee disagrees with Presidential nominee's judgment and decision to pick him. Hmm..... Something very, very wrong here. I cannot not support someone who doesn't have self confident and cannot stand-up for himself like Joe Biden, and I am just questioning the teamwork spirit between Obama and Joe. I am pro-gun control, fiscally moderate, but socially conservative. I guess, this will seal my decision to support the other ticket.

    Say what you want about former president Bill Clinton, he did a heck of a job for the average american, we were all better off then and I am so glad he will be on the campaign trail with Barack. I have felt so helpless these past few days watching politics spiral down with McCain using swift boat tactics. I am old enough to have watched democrats win and republicans win over the years, I can take the loses, but to win by lies and manipulative methods such as we've seen these last days, it makes me wonder have we all lost our sense of decency as a country?

    good luck to both of them.. If I were President Clinton I would stay home taking it easy...I guess President Clinton forgot to fast how Hillary was viciously attacked by the Democrat party including Obama ...during the primaries.. My adcive to President Clinton, stay home and relax , it is not worth the headache... After all, Obama is not a good candidate to run this country.

    All Bill owes Obama is a swift kick for playing the race card against him and Hillary.

    The Clintons have a well documented 30 year history of supporiting and promoting civil rights – they didnt deserve to be smeared so unfairly.

    McCain lies about Obama evryday!

    Palin lied about the Alaska bridge scandle, also lies about her ear-marks!

    I am starting to catch on the Republicans are a the party of liers these guys lie so much they believe there lies are the truth!

    Key government officials overseeing the energy industry had sex with, used illegal drugs with, and accepted gifts from representatives of oil and gas companies they were supposed to be regulating, according to a report issued Wednesday by the Department of the Interior's inspector general.

    A report says government officials accepted gifts from oil and gas company employees.

    The $5.3 million investigation "uncovered recreational marijuana and cocaine use" by "a handful" of Interior Department staff, and found two federal employees "engaged in brief sexual relationships with representatives from companies doing business" with the department.

    I wonder if and when BO loses the nomination (as the Clintons have predicted going up the RNC as a 3 year Senator), he will give all that money back to the donators. How much as wasted

    Oh this is going to be fun.

    Now we have another high profile Obama "supporter" that has SHOWN he can put his foot in his mouth with the best of them.

    The best is Biden, don't ya know.

    Having a hard time stopping laughing .

    Sen Obama you INSULTED HIS WIFE, and you think he is a real and true supporter.

    Seems Sen Obama has a lot to learn about life as well as running for president.

    That just made my day.

    Note to the Obama Campaign:

    Why are you letting the McCain campaign and Sarah Palin sway the majority of women in this country to the McCain bandwagon.

    The republicans have an ABYSMAL record when it comes to issues important to women.

    HERE'S AN IDEA: GET HILLARY CLINTON, MICHELLE OBAMA, and JILL BIDEN to crisscross the country to speak on WOMEN'S issues.

    WHY are you letting PALIN and MCCAIN define what is important to women ???!!!

    Biden took first step to tropping out because he knows Hilldog might help Osama. This just shows Osama is the real flip flopper he can't even pick a vp. After all he just did what he was told and when Biden drops out the world will know the real flip flopper. I called this last Friday. Osama will do what ever to get his baby killing sidekicks in the white house.

    McCain just stands there and smiles. He doesn't say anything. Lets Palin talk and talk and talk. Palin is a liar! Doesn't he want to say what he is going to do for our country. Obama says alot of things he is going to better our nation in education, poor people, tax savings, etc. McCain just stands there like a bump on a log. Smiles his silly smile. Good God save our nation with Obama!

    Question to the McCain camp.

    Why are you spending millions of money on ads from your funds on petty stuff? It shows the world how wasteful you are. Sarah Palin should have been able to tell you that. Poor judgement is showing and it will get you nowhere. ..

    I thought Bill was a RACIST. I suppose they are going to share the same jet plane? I don't know why he wants to waste Bill's time. Still looking for that unity? After the way they treated him they are bold to call him to duty. But oh yeah when you get slapped in the face you are suppose to turn the other check. Wait until Nov. when America gives the big slap in the face to this Obama guy.

    Maybe Bill can tell Obama to quit picking on women and Mid Westerners.

    i am shocked that Obabaa thinks women are pigs. Who else wears lipstick but women. He is just an elitist from an Ivy League school.

    I am also shocked that he called me bitter.

    Get over it obabma or whatever your funny sounding name is. You are risky and it would be a gamble to put our country and our values in Obambams hands

    Florida will go red. As a Clinton supporter this is what I like to see Bill and Hillary Clinton in states that Obama have zero chance of winning so when Obama lose Hillary Clinton will be the front runner for 2012

    Obama needs the Clintons so he can win and stop the McCain/Palin train.

    I hope if he wins, the Clintons are given some reward for their loyalty despite Obama's many slaps in the face.

    I think if Senator McCain wanted a religious person on the ticket he should of chose Ex-Governor Mike Huckabee, who also is a Bible Scholar. Mrs. Palin's religion has a different authority from the Bible.

    I have to admit Governor Palin is alot better looking that Mr. Huckabee but his religion is more mainstream evangelical.

    Look the bottom line is this. The Republican Party hates African Americans. The AP is reporting that Palin has used the N word several times. Not sure of the validity but I think it shows that the far religious right has a problem with other races in this country. The GOP first said Obama was a muslim, that didnt work. Then they said he was too young and lacked enough expierence. Had he chosen Hillary they would have mocked him for that. Did you know that Palin was once a part of a survivalist/supremecy group? We are just touching the tip of this iceberg.

    I am so upset. As a woman, I am in no way offended by Obama's comments. Not at all. It's a phrase people! Get over it! Besides, even if he was talking about Palin, if she doesn't want people using words like "lipstick" them maybe she shouldn't bring up her own gendery in a major speech at the convention!

    I am a strong woman. I didn't vote for Hillary, but I respect her. I do not respect Palin or McCain's political gimick of picking her.

    Thanks, Bill!

    The only pig wearing lipstick is this election. With so much at stake in the world, it's discouraging to see this election degenerating into the same old crap we've seen before: name calling, finger-pointing, and sound-biting.

    Bill Clinton doesn't have a problem talking about the issues but John McCain does. He also enjoys talking about how bad the republicans have handled the economy in the last 8 years.

    It is a very good thing that Bill & Hillary Clinton are, as usual, campaigning onf the behalf of Loyal Americans. The Democratic Party, my party, are fighting an uphill battle for the 2008 election. I am firmly convinced that Hillary Clinton should be running for the Office of the President of the United States. Short of that Obama should have picked her for the V.P. slot.

    I am so tired of hearing the supporters of the Republican Party bad mouthing the Democrats and trying to make the clear, intelligent liberal position a 4 letter word! Wake up conservative americans and see how your administration has defiled the American name here and abroad.

    The problem is that so many voters, including Democrats, just don't like Obama personally. His overwhelming arrogance and treatment of Hillary Clinton was pretty appalling.

    Bill will campaign for him because he will campaign for the Democratic ticket. Period.

    When McCain and his gang go after Obama over Palin, everyone remembers his obnoxious behavior and unearned sense of entitlement.

    They don't know if they really like Palin, but Obama is UNlikable that it's real easy to vote against him and to believe the accusations of sexism that McCain and Co. are dining out on these days.

    I realize that Hillary and Bill, as fellow democrats, must campaign for Obama but I still find it difficult to accept. Hillary never lost she was stabbed in the back by the DNC.

    I hope voters understand this and take Hillary and Bills support with a grain of salt.

    Obama is to good for this country. We don't deserve him. Why don't we just allow the country to continue on its downward spiral for another 4 years and by then the rebublicans(idiots) would have awaken out of the nightmare that they put themselves and thecountry in.

    Clinton is a cuckhold. Obama is a Muslim with a Communist father who would not marry his mother. Obama is a bastard is the strictest sense of the word. A rich, elitist one but one no less. I hope they get drunk and do each other in. Neither is a patch on McCain's butt.
    Let's see a Commie daddy or a dad and grandfather admirals in the US Navy. Better choice? You libs are blockheads.

    After all the negative campaigning against Hillary, now she and Bill are needed to haul in the votes.

    Hillary should have been the nominee and now the Democratic party is beginning to see the error of the ways.

    I also see Biden bowing out of the VP nomination and Hillary stepping in the the position.

    Today, he made comments that Hillary may have been a better pick.

    If he bows out, that will be political suicide for Obama. It will definitely show his inexperience in not picking the right candidate.

    Very good to hear, Bill Cinton! I am sure he would like to be part of the White House again. I am sure President McCain will let Bill and Hillary do whatever they like in HIS house..heh..heh

    I just have to say to the people that will vote for McCain...where the#$%# is your common sense. These last eight years have been horrible to the economy and to the world. What makes people think that four more years of the same thing with a few minor changes will fix our country? I remember the 90's with a fondness and I actually had some extra money in my bank account while the 2000's have stunk.

    The people that will vote for the guy with eight or nine houses are fools to think that he thinks like you.
    I will vote smart,

    Bill's main theme should be the economy. His first line should be "America doesnt need a president who thinks the people are a bunch of whinners and a vice president who cant tell the difference between publicly and privately financed companies." He's great at crowd pleasing one-liners... better than Palin is... and should use them.

    Please, tell me that the polls are inaccurate. That Americans are not this stupid. That Independents didn't sprint to the Republican ticket based on a woman who has only repeated the same speech (not even written by her nor, for the most part, for her) and has refused to answer a single question. A woman who, every day, we hear irrefutable proof that she has lied, over and over again. (Bridge to Nowhere? Pork-barrel spending? E-bay jet?) The entire world is watching and rolling their eyes at how gullible a good sector of America has become. Think they'll back us the next time we need them?

    Obama is really getting scared because he now asking Bill and Hillary Clinton to do his dirty work for him. He did his best to humiliate them in the primaries and now he wants their help. Look at the way he treated Hillary and now he wants their support. Are they not suppose to be racists? Why would he want them on his side now? They should tell him to go to hell.

    McCain & Palin are really getting the democrats upset because they are now seeing that they made a huge mistake by selecting Obama instead of Clinton.

With so many other non allied countries in possesion of nuclear weapons, and Sarah Palin's Pit bull attitude we will surely see more terrorists attacks on the united states. Vote for the Future of America Vote Obama/Biden. The baby killing comment ha..

    17 months of attacks on Clinton did their job. The attacks on Palin certainly don't seem to be working. (Even though Obama let's his flunkies do the dirty work.)

    With the length of the primary season and all the Obama air time, I'm already feeling like I've had 4 years of him. I change the channel when he comes on TV. He's worn out his welcome, maybe that's why America is falling for the "new star."

    The person that Obama should have campaiging with him is Hillary............as his vice presidential nominee. Actually, if the incredibly dumb Dems. leadership hadn't rairoaded all the superdelegates to be for Obama, Hillary would have been in her rightful place, as the presidential nominee and she would be way ahead of McCain by now.

    But if Obama had chosen Hillary as VP, McCain wouldn't have chosen the lightning rod Palin and this election would be a slam dunk for the Dems.

    I think that if "judgment" is an issue here, Obama sure didn't have it in this case.
    P.S.–Thanks to Joe Biden for defending Hillary today.

    All I see on every political new agency is the same thing over and over again. People leaving their opinions on this presidential race and yet CNN and a few other says that the polls tells us that the race is close.I see the majority of people against the GOP and yet they keep telling us that McCain/Palin are ahead. I don't believe a word of it. Just read what people are saying. Talk to people and they say the same. They are fed up with Bush and McCain and want change. From all this I can honestly say come November, it will be a onesided victory for Obama/Biden

    Obama speech writers should probably just write down word for word exactly what Bill needs to say. We all know he's a bit of a loose cannon (Hillary herself, had to have him on a tight leash), and the reps will be waiting to pounce on anytthing he says.

    AFter what Obama and his campaign did to Hillary and Bill Clinton, I would tell obama to go you know where. Obama is probably one of the dirtiest politician that there is. He lets those lies fly, and then he will say he knew nothing about them. The guy will do anything to be president, not because he wants to do something for the American people, but just to swell his own ego. Read his history. He never ran against anyone, in Chicago, Illinois, while running for the senate in IL, all of a sudden his opponents divorce papers were released, they were suppost to be sealed. The rep Senator dropped out and Obama ran against a nobody from another state.

    What's the republicans' problem with lipstick? McSame used the same phrase against Hillary. Now McSame is calling foul because it was used to describe his policies. Well rotten fish are still rotten fish even disguised with the McBush/Palin package.

    BTW, pitbulls have a hard enough life without Palin insulting them by comparing herself to them – with or without lipstick.

    Wait 'til we get a hold of all the truth behind Bush's shut down of the UK's secret plan to capture terrorists leading back to the caves in Afghanistan. Bush agreed to wait for the UK to finish gathering evidence, but then used the information purely for political gain. The end result is that the UK did not have the time it needed to gather enough evidence, so only a few of the 20 or so captured will stay in prison. Way to go Bush – as usual – only out for your own interest.

    And people want McSame to continue these underhanded tactics?

    And how can anyone making less than 250K per year, really think that McSame cares about them? Are you that blind or just that prejudice against ethnic groups?

    @Glenn/Bakersfield:

    Poor strategy to HOPE that your opponent has some flaw that will show up sooner or later. It's better to have a stronger political position yourself. But HOPE and CHANGE is all Obama's fluffy campaign can come up with. Well, good luck!

    Wow – more and more hypocrisy from Obama – I think the question is not does McCain think we're stupid, but does Obama – he couldn't have dissed the Clintons more if he tried – him and his Obamabots but now he needs them – that's judgement for you – the man is a joke – he's fleeced most of the lemmings that want some cliff to jump off – all I can say to those folks is SEE YA – WOULDN'T WANT TO BE YA!!!

    Don't do it, Bill! Don't jump on the Obama bandwagon. Don't ever forget how he labeled you and Hillary a racist. Don't ever forget that he threw you and HIllary under the bus. Obama is a nothing. He expects you to win this for him. Don't do it! It's time junior Senator stood on his own feet. It's his election to win or lose. He will use you up and spit you out. That's what he's done with everyone else! Love you and HIll, but you should absolutely NOT help this guy.

    Barrack and Bill should talk about why McWar doesn[t know how many houses he owns and why Sarah McChenny wants us to pay for the she lives in. Also they should talk about the Palin/McCain ticket. Since Palin is the one doing all talking and inspiring the people, she should be the Prez,,,,,,

  258. Enough is Enough

    I recently took several surveys to see whether or not I am a democrat or republican. All surveys showed that I am a conservative – republican. Because I have never voted before, I am trying to decide on which party to join. After some of the racial comments and ignorant slams, I am not joining the republican party. It seems that everything that comes out of this party's mouth is racially driven. From Muslim comments to suggesting Obama should go back to Kenya to calling Obama – Osama. Grow up people.

    I am going to register as an independent and make my decision on who I am going to vote for closer to the election. Enough of nasty politics and misleading tactics! Time out for this stuff. You are only turning people off.

Therefore Hillary will not be the first female Pres. Do we want that to happen? NOOOOOOOoooo LADIES, PLEASE THINK THIS THRU BEFORE YOU GO TO THE POLLS. Thank You

They say since she had Obama on, she should put Palin on. Even if you don't watch Oprah or don't agree with some of her views, we have to pull together on this.

    Watch Oprah every day for the next two weeks or as long as they boycott. If you can't watch it in person, set your DVR's or whatever and record it. We need to help Oprah keep her ratings up while they are boycotting. Please resend this to all in your e-mail list.

    America, we've been down this road before: where they tell you there's no difference in the candidates/Parties, then the Republicans get in & what do they do to the economy, international affairs, environment, our pocketbooks, our American image?! Please don't fall for this again & regret it later! You've all bear witness these long miserable 8 years! It's time for big time change! Don't fall for this again & again!

    Do you remember the Clinton years of economic boom! Those times only come with Democrats-go read your history especially during Depression: who rescued America from Hoovervilles? Roosevelt, a Democrat, that is! Do you think if Gore or Kerry were president we'd have all the mess we have now? Absolutely Not!

    Look/listen to the people that tell you there's no difference in the parties so they're voting independent: they're all pretty much well-off & only confusing & shattering your hope for a new America! It's very sinister what those people are doing! Don't fall for it!

    This is th eparty in unity. I have never admired President Clinton than this time. He is a man of honor. Forget what happened in the primary. It is a part of the political game and no one can claim exclusion of it. What happened between Romney and McCain during the primary. What kind of vicious negarive attacks did Romney air against McCain, and you saw what happened in St. Paul. Now you see, America, the McCain-Palin mix fis an unnatural, unholy union. This mix has no consideration of the fate and future of America, it is totally politically motivated. If McCain dared, he could have vetted Romney. No matter how stupid Romney is, he could have made some case for the economy. Now, Palin needs to take Economics 101 to understand the basics of economy. What a shame. Is this woman ready to be our commander-in-chief ? This is the question American should be asking with themselves right now, not thinking about hockey, lipstick and ovary.

    ObamaBiden mix is the holy union of change.

YEAH AND THE 36 BLACK PEOPLE AT THE REBUBLICAN CONVENTION WOW , IF YOU THINK THAT AMERICA HAS ONLY 36 BLACK PEOPLE , THEN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN , McCain record on any black issue in this country is obvious , he does not care , this is his last chance for him to be president and he is playing all the dirty games he can , but the public is very much involved in this election and in November we will show the repbublicans what's what.

    If you are going to engage on this blog, can we have an English lesson?

    There – Their – They're
    Your – You're
    Know how to use the problem word in context of your comment.

    And Pascal, just because I am a Hillary supporter voting for McCain, it's not because I do not want to vote for a "black" man (he's actually bi-racial). It's because I don't want to vote for an inexperienced, zero accomplishment man, black, white, purple or otherwise. And the more you wacko Obamabots calls us racists, the less likely we are going to change our minds anytime soon and vote for Obama. It's not racism, it's the lack of experience, accomplishments and judgement. That's why I can't vote for Obama. Race has nothing to do with it.

    Bill, Obama has a funny name, certainly not presidential and he is risky. I am scared of him as well.

    He has called me names and I think he calls women a barnyard name.

    The McCain camp along with Palin are making a mockery out of women's rights and great successes over the last several decades. For them to cry sexism at every possible turn is a complete disgrace to women and frankly as a women I am deeply offended. This is a mockery of true sexism, unequal pay, few women in high level positions, outrageous healthcare and daycare costs for single mothers and the list goes on. Making a mockery out of sexism charges takes away from women's real concerns. Enough McCain and Palin. You are defeating what women have been working so hard for by your lies and false accusations.

    *******ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!********************
    It is all sooooooo stupid. Let the white folks have their country. They are so blinded by it, they can't see anything else to realize that we do not see the same old mess.. but wait, it doesn't matter to them. They are living off of grandaddy's slave money and doing just fine!!!!!

    Bill is not idiot. Makes some stupid slips from time to time, but he's up there with Reagan as communicator. He will do wonders for Obama if he is genuine. He won't ask the voters to like Obama. He won't ask them to determine whether Obama's a muslim. He will tell them to their face that if they want a good life for their children, they need to get on board the train. He's gonna tell them that the Repubs have been lying to them for 30 years and they've been had. Ole' Bill will have the stats to back him up too.

    He won't say, I feel your pain, but "do you want to stop feeling pain?"

    NO, NO, NO, PLEASE PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON DO NOT CAMPAIGN FOR OBAMA.

    How could you support a person like Obama who called you, of all people, a RACIST?

    How could you support a person like Obama, who stood by while sexism was directed at Hillary by the Obama campaign, MSM and others?

    Great news! I've often thought Barack & Bill would do well to campaign together in FL. Their combined strengths will further the voting appeal in this state. It's time to take this country back after the last eight years of Bush/Rove tactics, now McCain (ENOUGH).

    Doesn't matter, I'm still not voting for Obama.

    I am not a racist or a republican, just someone who does not think he has enough experience, has a Bush like attitude, does not like his attitude toward women, did not like some of his wife remarks, does not like his flip flopping, don't know what change he is talking about. Just don't want to vote for him no matter what both Clintons doe.

    I am want to aks the qusetion if Sara Palin was a black women with the same back ground would should be allow to run for office.
    How come Fox news is not talking about Babies Daddy.
    I guess that is why thier was no people of color at the Repbulican convention.
    to me it is about race that why he is having a white female attack a blacl man. You must not forget black men used to lynch for even talking to white women. It is sad that Ameircan has not changed much.
    I dare some one to ask the question

    To: Help our country September 10th, 2008 9:51 pm ET...
    -------------------------------–Obama has over 95% of the time talked about the REAL issues for the average American, and look at the tricks McCain do. ANY woman (as the media put it) that brought Republican's campaign back to LIFE....Yes, they are Americans, the question is do they REALLY care about most of the 98% of Americans that struggle with this lousy economy? Since Palin came on the scene...all McCain has done is STAND beside her with this smock smile on his face, whining and looking like I got THEM, (after voting for Bush OVER 90% of the time). He was in a position to help us BEFORE this election, while most of us struggle while he continued to support BUSH/oil/gas. Even to him VETERANS wasn't important, We the 98% of voters...STRUGGLING to pay for gas/oil, mortgage, healthcare and ect.................

    THE BIG QUESTION FOR US AS VOTERS..........AFTER 26 yrs. WILL he really CHANGE anything in Washington after the Elections?

WHAT KIND OF FUTURE WILL AMERICA HAVE IF WE DON'T HAVE MORALS? GOD IS WATCHING YOU CAN BET ON IT! NOBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

    can Palin speak English?? and does she ever stand up for herself? I ask because so far she has only read from a script that "surrogate daddy" Mccain has written for her. Is he Palin's "protector of the moment?" and what happens when it is Palin, a reporter and a camera? disaster for the her, I predict.

    Bill Clinton may have a legacy to prop up but he clearly has our country's best interest at heart and the ear of the last convincing demoocratic majority. What good we all could do if we united as democrats to support Bill, Hillary, Barak, Joe and many others in the message about the change we need ... and can only get if we focus on real issues, real candidates.

    Is the fact that John F. Kennedy was a senator BEFORE he was voted into the White House lost on everyone? There is a reason why Obama is endorsed by the Kennedy family. He reminds them of JFK.

    I am sure you all have seen the security clearencces that Palin has and the responsibility of the Governor of Alaska. Her security clearance is quite equal to President Bush's and Homeland Security. We need someone who will stand up for all of us who have never in our lifetime seen a time when there is not a war or a recession. The young voters are caught up in the idol image. Their parents have shielded them from most of the hard knocks in life. Listen to her speaches and her knowledge and put it against Obama's. He only spouts words from all his hundreds of speech writers, one speech he made the teleprompter went off and he turned around and lost his train of thoughts and kept looking for it to come back on to rescue him. He is not qualified. Thanks

    Obama can't talk for himself, he usually blames it on someone in his campaign. I respect Bill & Hillary Clinton immensely but I never thought they would have to go out & win the election for Obama. Notice this all comes after Palin was nominated for Vice president. I hope to God he doesn't win and NO I am not racist I just don't think he has what it takes to be a leader. He whines and carries on too much and since Michelle wears the pants in the family, he'll have to run everything by her and hope she approves. She'll be the one to answer the phone at 3am and tell who ever is on the other end that he can't use the phone because he left his socks on the floor. What a different election this would be if Hillary had been chosen But wait a minute.....the afro americans voted for him on race not on issues. They forgot how good the Clintons were to them.

    Lets stick to the issues, We all know there are many of them. And while we are at it, lets have Palin answer some questions.

We are voting, give us some facts.

Further, saying you thought Bill Clinton was a racist, well you "thunk" wrong. Your statement about Bill Clinton being Obama's protector of the moment makes me concerned as whether you've been stalking Obama for whatever reason. Be careful with your words, they draw concern.

    Nobody is FOR abortion, but people are for a woman having that option in an emergency. For goodness sakes, before Roe v. Wade women died in back alleys. Do you really want to go back to that? Obama has a sensible plan to eliminate the need for abortions, and I respect that stance.
    Clinton will be a huge help, because he is the one Democrat who could stand up to the Republican sniping, and get the issues out there. Barack needs him, and it's nice to see a candidate who will take advice from someone. Who is McCain talking to? Oh, Rove. 'nuff said.

    Look, listen for issues not personal attacks. It sounds like the white women in USA have estrogen running rampart in all aspects of their being, Palin has said absolutely nothing that proves she can run this country. So what she can car pool, manage a small town, shoot and fish wild life, so can a lot of hillbillies but that does not make them presidental material. Let us not continue to be stupid and reelect another 4 years of Bush administration. Wake up women, show some intelligence.

    Good for Bill! It shows he is not now or ever been a racist and that he will stand up for the Democratic Nominee Barak Obama. Only under democratic rule has the economy been good and useless wars were not an option. Jobs were plentiful and can be again if Obama becomes president. God knows there is enough money once you get the troups out of Irag to rebuild every bridge in the USA, fix the levees in all the States that need it done, repair all the roads, retool the auto industries to make gas driven cars (even the Iranians figured this one out) restructure closed plants to built wind tubines etc etc etc Wake up America or soon you will be a third world country!!

    The hate for America all over the world bears witness to the failed policies of the Republicans. You see it every day on the news. Burning flags and hanging effigies.

    Well if you think these types of demonstrations are bad wait until McCain gets into power as he is already hated by more people than what hate Bush and Cheney.

    My prediction is if McCain gets into power you will be embroiled in wars overseas and in the U.S. as hate breeds recruitment and there is enough hate to recruit a large portion of the world. I doubt this gets printed as CNN sheilds readers from the truth.

    If Hillary is big enough to put the primaries behind her and campaign for Obama, why can't the rest of the Hillary Dems get past this? Don't they realize what is at stake?! As for Obama, I do wish he would stick to the program. As for the other side, is John McCain still running? All I see is Sarah Palin and I am sick of her! She is a hockey mom. Wow! That certainly qualifies her to be VP! She called Hillary a whiner and now she is whining and complaining that she is getting treated poorly. Sarah, if you can't stand the heat, get back in the kitchen!!!

    It's sad to see Americans again repeating the Repubican speeches or propaganda like robots after learning a recording, It's sad I hoped Americans were smarter
    A good democrat commercial would show a mother of five (like I saw last night ) say " well Palin's a mother I'm a mother so I'm think she can do it.." Think for a moment,,,,,, is this women I saw last night really that ignorant.??? what about the facts.
    When i told my girlfriend, (when the repubicans first released her on America ) that she cute so American women would love her in spite of the facts ,, she said "no way " they're too intelligent. I said no "they're not ". This is not a time I wanted to be right it's scary and sad . Fool me once shame on me , fool me three times shame on all of those that support Mccain and his lies, he smiles and sells your future tio big business.

    If Obama takes a strong stance against McCain's lies and distortions, everyone says he isn't focusing on the issues. If he focuses on the issues and ignores McCain/Palin, he is accused of not "standing upfor himself." It's clear to me that no one could forecast that the Republicans would run a campaign based upon lies, distortions, stealing Obama's campaign theme, and blatantly pandering after Hillary Clinton's base. Help needs to come from every corner of the democratic party, everyone needs to be on the stump! This is not a one man show...the Republicans are the incumbent party and they are going to have to be "knocked out." With the right support, he can stay on the issues and make his support the "pit bulls."

McBush has done nothing for 26 years, and now he is a reformer and a changer, this is a joke, This person he has chosen makes my ears hurt to hear her talk, and her canned remarks are so far off base, and we as Americans should ashamed to listen to all the lies. We have lived thru some really nasty times in the last 8 years and to elect the Republicans again to continue with same OLD woren out politics is something I hope does not happen. We can not endure more of the same.

    Well, here is a reality check for you. I live near Seattle and drove around Washington and Oregon a lot this Summer – I have to report that I've seen hundreds of cars with Barack Obama 08 sticker and as many houses with Barack Obama 08 sign in their front yard all around Washington and Oregon. As of today, just 55 days until election, I haven't seen even one(!) car with McCain sticker and I've only seen one(!) McCain sign near foreclosed house – got the picture?

    Obama will win Washington and Oregon by a landslide!

    The last 3 VP picks (on both sides, 6 total) EVERY one of them have been made available to the media within 24-hrs of them being picked. They even let that idiot Quayle talk openly with the press.

    What is she hiding? Someone should demand that Rove make her available to answer a few questions.

    Spewing lies with a stump speech day after day, with no one to challenge what you're saying or answering ANY questions seems VERY un-American.

    I thought she was applying for the job as VP?

    Why can't we ask her any questions?

    All we get is one speech she delivered great, but didn't write.

    I can't believe people are not DEMANDING that she speak to the American people.

    This open dishonesty and pandering to the dumbest, most backward elements of the population and the lapdog press allowing this to go on makes me want to VOMIT!
