I have watched CNN covering all the election for all these 18 months and all that time they have been 100 percent biased towards John McCain. Every now and then we have seen a few like Cafferty voicing their opinion on the bias reporting, trying to show the truth. I agree with some who commented getting more honest news from the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert then we see from the media. So Republicans; stop whining and admit that you are backing a pair of liars. If you want what they have to offer, move to Alaska, take McCain with you and start a new country. I'm truly surprised of all McCain supporters attacking CNN for being biased for Obama!!!

In grave times, we need leaders with gravitas, and VPs that at a moment's notice can take the mantle. Hearing Biden speak with authority about serious issues and then hearing his GOP VP counterpart speak about snow machines and hockey championships in Colorado really tells the story about who can competently lead us forward as a country. I need a President and Vice President with wisdom and temperment to get us where we need to go as a country. Not some American Idol finalist.

When confronted with a real situation that other than attacking Obama, he has not real clue. The only reason he even put that ad out was to look like he knows what is going on. But if you actully listen to him on any real issues. He has no clue. I would warn people to be very careful when pulling that lever for McCain. BTW, why is Cindy McCain always with him. Is she afraid to let him out of her sights. I am really sick of seeing her. Is she running. IS ANYONE SUPRISED...
