McCain is full of lies and deciet.

Hillary is not trying to be seen in public with this phony! She's an affront to women the way she's allowing herself to be pandered about while mCCain sits back like a pimp that just found a winner..DISGUSTING!!!

The best comment from McCain this week: If Senator Obama had agreed to the town hall meetings with me, the tenor of the campaign would not be like this. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

This is the guy Republicans want in the White House? The Guy some Democrats are jumping ship for? This one we will truly regret if Obama lose.

For the people that say "Lets talk about issues……well, this is a issue. A MaSane and Barbie Doll Palin issues and should be discussed. They lied again and we have a right to know.

MC CAIN IS SO BUSY LYING HE HAS NO CLUE WHAT THE BLEEP IS HAPPENING IN THIS WORLD. PALIN IS ALSO CLUELESS.
HILLARY HAS A MIND OF HER OWN AND SHE HAS A CHOICE. WITH PALIN WOMEN HAVE NO CHOICE.
NOV CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH

Anything to take the conversation ay from the economy?! WE WILL NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!

McCain needs to shut it. I'm no huge fan of Hillary Clinton but she doesn't seem like the type of person who can be pressured into doing anything. She's pretty tough.

People are getting so much smarter – I'm so proud of us. We'll not be bamboozled again by the GOP!!!

Hillary makes her own decisions. This is a good one.

Hillary Independent
now for Obama

Many people wanted Hillary in the White House in '08, but that's not going to happen. Now what you have to ask yourself as I have is this: Is waiting for 2012 and putting McCain in the White House this election really worth voting McCain? Should all of America suffer another 4 years at the hands of a dillusional former POW and his power hungry sidekick? Just think about it before you answer, and vote with your heart.

Man, you dems should get each others emails to stay in touch after the election. You will have no one else to talk to since you've gaffed on:
Bible Thumping Gun Owners (majority of population in swing states), Old people who can't send emails (AARP Vote), and now Jewish people against Iran (Keep it up and you will lose NY). At least you have Hollywood?!

I doubt he asked her to do that

I think she did it on her own, and i talso think that it was a wise choice. Why feed into controversy when we are getting back to the issues and Obama is up in the polls again and up in Virginia now

Lets stick to the issues and not this mess

Oh, that's rich: like anybody could get Hillary to do anything. She does what she pleases; she's showed that time and again.

Yea, like anyone can 'talk' Hillary into doing anything….

There are 11,000,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the United States. That's 11 million more votes for Obama than for McShame.

For you people who are delusional and say McCain 08/ Clinton12 that makes completely no sense. First of if McCain wins it won't be Clinton in 2012 it will be Palin. By 2012 if McCain gets elected(God let's hope not for our sake) Palin will then have more experience than Clinton, she now would have been VICE PRESIDENT. Not just the WIFE of a President!!!! Also have you head in the clouds people heard of the point of no return??? Things are bad now and if they get worse I don't care who wins the election of 2012 they won't be able to turn things around. So lets get this straight, your ok with the country OUR country declining even more just so you can get your way in 2012. WOW that's the most selfish thing I've ever heard.
Cnn please post this

I have honestly been a republican my whole adult voting life but I can no longer be in a partyy that can only win an election with lies, smears, lies, lies, and lies. Oh yeah, they tell lies. Anyway, I'm a life long Republican voting for Obama. I can't believe a single word out of McCain/Palin. Besides she wouldn't be ready to lead on day 1,000.

Obama bullies a fellow democrat? Gasp! Now that's newsworthy… just like the thousands of times he has already done that this year…

I wonder if any of the reporters asked impromptu questions such as:

-Where did the "Bridge To Nowhere" money go?
-Where are your tax returns?
-Why are you trying to avert your investigation?

Those are just a few

CNN Poll of Polls!!!!

Obama 46%
McLoser 45%

Obama/Biden 08/12!!!!

Man that bounce lasted a week!!! LOL!!!!

Sen. Clinton is trying to make sure the spotlight is not on her; Gov. Palin would love for the spotlight to be soly on her… that is the difference; the McCain Campaign could have sent someone else; how about Romney or even Lieberman, why the Governor?

So, this is what happens to corrupt politicians when they get so close to power. John McCain isn't the John McCain we were led to believe. I now realize he was a maverick because he was pouting and didn't get his way. When he turned on the Republicans, it was out of spite, nothing else.

After watching the interview that he had with Mika on "Morning Joe", I'm convinced this man is mean-spirited, and has an anger problem.

He shouldn't be anywhere near the White House. He used his wife to further his career, and now he wants to use us. It won't work.

To all the genuises voting for making with hopes that HRC will be POTUS in 2012 dream on, I would have gladly voted for her in 2008 if Obama would have lost but she has helped devide the democrats. If she runs in 2012 if O loses she will lose again big time.

The McCain campaign ruined their chances for gaining the political edge on this issue by spewing premature political talking points (and lies). Had they kept their mouths shut after Hillary withdrew and allowed Palin to attend, they would have bragging rights. Gosh, these people can't even run a dishonorable campaign. Karl Rove must be rolling his eyes. Lies and deceit never prevail.

More of the endless lies and mudslinging from the McCain campaign. If that is not "more of the same" then I don't know what else is!!!

they are just trying to get Palin back in the NEWS to get Obama off the economy issue…..so hope they dont fall for this BS… Actually it was a real treat not having her around for a few days and listening to her whining repetitive voice!!!
the woman is clueless
Hillary beats her on every level!!!!

Hypocrisy, if I ever saw one. So if a republican appears at a rally then it's 'partisan' but when Obama makes attack speeches at rallies then he's being neutral and non-partisan?

I really would like to understand why these people lie. Somebody out there with an explanation?

Party first Hillary?

Former democrat and Hillary supporter voting for McCain/Palin 08! Country first!

Obvious lie…Clinton just doesn't want to be seen with a Christian-conservative nutjob. The quote from the campaign tells all.

Latest Gallup polls show Obama up +2. McCain has to pull the attention off of the economy since that's Obama's strong point. Guess they will do anything to win an election. BTW, when will we hear about McCain's plans?

More lies and smears from the McCain camp and an insult to Senator Clinton.
As if she could be pressured by the Obama-Biden team to do something she thought was improper.
Ludicrous.
Of course McCain's lying team offerred no proof.
Why do you bother reporting this rubbish as if anything they said could ever be believed?
The organizers have disgraced themselves with their duplicity in not informing Senator Clinton that they were springing an unwanted surprise on her.

I heard John McCain is a Muslim.

Can He Stop 'Troopergate'?
A McCain lawyer scrambles to block a Palin ethics inquiry.

Anyone else read the study published by Yale? The one that concluded that conservative minds are not changed by facts and the on presenting them with more facts they cling more to the lies they have been told?

Its a good read.

What is wrong with these Republicans…My goodness, they do everything rotten and dirty, when the Dems don't bite or push back, they call fowl. Someone needs to put them in their darn rightful place asap…..Whinners…..

They sure know how to lie with a straight face…That Leslie lipstick of a pitbull and Castonas or whatever his name is of a rotweiler needs to just go away…..always so eager to jump in and do damage control on cnn..lying through their darn teeth, shame on them…enough of tem already!

No one pressures Hiliary to do anything. Furthermore, McCain should be more worried about the women on his team. Carly can't keep her mouth shut, and Sarah has obviously been overcome with the rays from the tanning bed.

Did anybody beside me knew this was coming. This is so typical of the Republicans. Let's get the focus off the economy that is a losing battle for us. PLEASE somebody go find the real John Mccain. And drop Sarah Palin off on the way.

Once again McCain throws out something he knows is not true and
CNN and other pundits will run with the fabrication.His first line
of thwe story but he has nothing to back up his comments.

Democrats have been bamboozled by Obama campaign.
McCain 2008
Hillary 2012

HRC more than likely backed out when she found out she was lied to on possibly, the agenda, presenters, and particiapnts!

But I am just guessing!

this is an insult to Hillary and her camp. i wish she would just come out and give it back to the McCain camp.

is the McCain camp saying that Hillary is a duck that just follows Obama anywhere? i guess they are really equating Hillary with Palin.

sad, sad, sad…

If it's no evidence then why are you reporting it?

another lie. what a pathetic campaign!

Hillary Clinton bends to the control freaks? The desperate democrats are looking more and more foolish!

But, Governor Sarah Palin is the new phenomenon!

And, Obama has no Act ll! His bottom up campaign has gone top down! The extreme left-wing dems have him tightly in control!

McCain/Palin 08!

Amazing but not surprising. Now that the majority of Americans are finally realizing Panamanian McCain has nothing to offer America his campaign is grapping for straws…again.

Making things up? GOP? Ya think?

I have yet to hear a single plan from them.
Not one.

All I here is talk about the other party, and how they (you know the ones who have been in power for 8yrs) have been mistreated.

Dumb and Dumber refuse to be specific about anything because they have no plans, no judgement and simply no leadership capabilities.

Peace.

Stay on message Obama & Biden. Don't get destracted by these lies from the McCain camp. They have no message.

What McCain's camp doesn't get is that they have a woman on their ticket that they can control with Bush cronies writing her speeches, no access to unscripted press conferences or voters' questions and specially selected "interviews".

Hillary is her own woman and Obama would never think of telling her what to do. That is why so many women's groups are coming out for Obama; they hear Michelle Obama with phenomenal educational credentials at forums and round table discussion rather than barbie like Cindy standing like a prop at every one of his speeches; they know Biden's records on women's rights and they hear the love and respect Obama has for the woman who are and have been in his life.

As a feminist I find McCain's unsubstantiated comments sexist!!

Are you serious? Clinton is strong and has a mind of her own. McCain you are sad when you throw attacks just for the sake of throwing them. Trust Clinton didn’t want to join Palin because she cared NOT too.

Matt Damon was right, Sarah is scary. She wasn't vetted and now she's being sequestered to keep the press from talking to her. The press should do a Sarah blitz on McCain. Every question should be about his running mate, and his foot-in-mouth-statement on Monday. That should be it, nothing else.

Obama/Biden 08

McCain is lazy, lieing and a theif!!! Hillary is her own women, not like Pelin who puppets what McBush wants. And what Hillary wants Hillary does!!! She has earned the right! Pelin has earned nothing–especially not experience or judgement!!!! Hillary made up her own mind and I do NOT blame her for noth wanting to be in the same room as that little lie cheat from Alaska!!! AND I never, never want to see her with a machine gun in her hand again or shooting wild animals from a helicopter!!!!! Helicopters were invented to save people during the Korean war — not kill animals!!!

Hillary Clinton is the LAST PERSON ON EARTH who will be bossed around by ANYBODY. What a hoot!! She made her own mind up and that was that. Now Palin is going to be forced to go and be the media freak show for the event.
If this event is so incredibly important, why were palin and clinton the invitees? Why not Bush or Cheney or Condeleeza? It was nothing but a tacky publicity stunt and Clinton refuses to be used. In fact, where are all the OTHER INVITEES? Nobody going but palin? What does THAT tell you about this "very important event"??

I'd love to see Tucker Bounds try and explain this one. That guy is going to have a heart attack during this campaign having to answer for all of these lies. Shouldn't it be McLame in Tucker's position explaining why all of these untruths are coming out.

This was a transparent attempt by the McCain campaign to get Palin into a photograph with Hillary.

As transparent as McCain's efforts not to be photographed with Bush!

Why would Hillary want to be anywhere near Sarah Palin? Hillary didn't get the nod. Sarah might just say something that Hillary might have to answer. Unscripted, Hillary might blow it.

B-LO-NEE! Hillary shouldn't stand next to this Sarah who tied to claim Clinton's hard work and experience as her opopotunity to rob votes! The McCain camp wanted Hillary there to explote. They know she would draw a big crowd and they would clain Hially and Palin were unitied-which is bunk. How can Elli Weizle stand in the same area as Palin who believes Jews are killed by the will of God for not being Christians! This is an insult!

I am scared that Obama is a fascist.

John McCain has offically past George Bush as THE MOST dishonest politician in the history of America. All they do is lie, lie, lie, even when they are called out for doing it. I've never seen anything like it ever. They lie abou stuff that's not even important (broken teleprompter, crowd size, blackberries, and now this).

How is this a story if no source, CNN?

This is about McCain not wanting to continue to discuss the economy, you know, AN ACTUAL ISSUE. He loses on issues, and since the Palin glow is starting to wear off, he's trying the good ole "lipstick" diversion. It ain't gonna work Johnny. Come up with some policy and truthfulness and you might actually not implode before November 4.

This is not journalism. This is a biased opinion column. Why doesn't CNN dig into the claim by the Clinton camp that the event was becoming a "partisan political event." With both Clinton and Palin there, it is a bi-partisan event. The partisan politics are only a result of Clinton's withdrawal, which is shamelessly blamed on having a political opponent also invited to attend. Shame on you CNN.

We're not going after this shiny object or the Rothschild shiny object as well. Listen to her speaking with Nora O'donnell..Talk about elitist.Was that a fake Elitist-British accent? She's just like Palin, she is spewing the MCcain talking points….It won't work!!!!!!!!!!!..What a phony.!!!!!!!

BOJO/08/12

Of course the repubs don't reliable sourses for the lies they put out.

When will all the lies stop! Hillary was just smart enough to read between the lines whereas Palin actually reads the lines.

This is a joke from the NcBullsh……….campaign.

THE ENTIRE WORLD IS LOOKING AT AMERICAN AND U'RE FAST BECOMING A JOKE IN THE WORLDS VIEW ESPECIALLY WITH THE LAST 8 YRS OF GOP AND NOW THIS GOP TICKET? I DOUBT U WILL BE NO ONE FOR MUCH LONGER-IF THIS MORON ANDN HIS BARBIE DOLL WINS.

THE WORLD IS WATCHING U AMERICA-THAT'S THE TRUTH

The Dungeons and Dragons crowd pressured her to pull out, Goldfarb.

How much crap can the GOP just 'make' up, that are blatant lies and false facts.

It is truely pathetic to watch how morally bankrupt the McCain clan is. I knew they were bad, but had no idea they could be so blatantly obvious in their decidedly deceptive nature.

He is no hero, he's a total zero!!! McCain is a disgusting old man who has seen the best of himself flushed down the toilet each morning!

Vote Obama if you believe in honesty, integrity and change for a better america!

Hmmm, no sources given to verify McCain's ridiculous accusation.

Maybe McCain will just "round up the usual suspects" and make them attest!

Ahh, to be in Paris right now.

Why don't you blame Obama for the pot-holes on Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC. Oh and by the way, I think it is pretty hard for me to think that Hillary had to be convinced or pressured into doing something or not doing something.

Hillary Clinton is an independent woman who is clearly capable of making her own decisions unlike a certain VP nominee who shall remain nameless…

Sen. McCain left Vietnam, but Vietnam didn't leave he, WAKE UP AMERICAN can't you see VIETNAM IS HIS EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

a rigged event by the republicans, not this time. Clinton wants no part.

Off course Obama & his staff pressured Hillary to cancel ! What I can't figure out is why she is listening to a group of losers???? Wake up Hillary & take care of yourself ! Forget these guys just like the American People are going to do Nov.4th!!!

Why doesn't McCain want to stick to the number one issue most important to Americans?

Anything (i.e. distraction) to get off the topic of the economy.

Satan is no longer the "father of lies". He's been replaced by the Republican Party.

McCain has totally lost his way. No Honor left.

He'll stoop to anything to win, including choosing a v.p. that has a seccessionist for a husband that would rather burn the U.S. flag than salute it.

yes, the McCain camp want to keep her name in the news as often as possible, even if it is disengenuous…

Nate,
Phil (we have no banking or lending problems) Grahm called the American People Whiners, and HE IS part and parcel connected to McCain camp.
If you care about the Democratic party, and hope for a decent future vote for Obama. I supported Hillary, she lost get over it and move on.
Oh wait, he is 50 % African American, could that be your problem?

I think the McCain campaign should print new posters. "It's all Obama's Fault". Every time I think the McCain camp can't get any sillier, they do. What is even more hilarious is that people actually believe them.

If McCain gets elected, my only question is, who is he going to blame when his administration collapses due to lack of expertise and a pile of subpoenas sitting on Palin's desk? Blaming somone else for the ills of this nation may get you into office, John, but it won't keep you there. Don't unpack your suitcases.

Do they really think Hillary Clinton is the kind of person who follows orders? She makes her own decisions, and it appears she has better things to do than become part of the Palin joke.

Isn't it about time Sarah Palin was taken out of her "cotton wool' and be held accountable to answer questions about herself and this election!!!
It seems the media are just pandering to the MCain camp with softly softly approach…..don't ask her any questions, don't be too tough on her, don't be sexist!!!
I for one am getting absolutely sick of this woman parading around the country like she is just running for "Head Coach" and not this very important role of VP.
It is just laughable that the election is only days away and we still nothing about her…….is this some kind of joke?
When are we going to hear her being asked tough questions, without her usual script/notes etc……America needs and has the right to know about this woman and way before election day.

Wow for republicans to always talk as though they are the tough guys they sure do cry a lot.

environmentally blue September 17th, 2008 3:08 pm ET
What a shame. It was supposed to be nonpartisan, so why did Camp Obama pressure Hillary to not attend? What, they aren't opposed to a Nuclear Iran?
GREAT
Good thing Obama didn't back out of the only one 9 11 Memorial event. He already didnt't attend the Shanksville one.
And obviously his wife didn't find the American events worthy of her attendance.
Is Backtrack Obama trying to make all Democrats look angry and divisive? WAKE UP HILLARY!

but did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim.

apparently you either didn't read that part of the report or that you are so for McCain that it didn't matter. i bet you still believe Obama is a muslim. i would go further to bet that even though McCain was called out on all those lies, that you still believe him. let me guess…you even watch the WWF.

To Hillary Democrat: No Hillary supporter would ever call Obama slime. you are obviously a slimeball in disguise…

Does the republican party have that much time are their hand? I'm mean come on, Hillary clinton dosen't want to be around that lieing Palin, that's her choice why the spin on it? I wish Hillary would start setting the record straight. Palin is trash and everyone knows it.

CNN…if someone can't give you a source to back up their claim then you should not print the story and give it life. You don't want to get like Fox news. A news channels reputation is all they have. Do your job!

Why CNN why? Why repeat rumors with no evidence. I thought you guys reported the news/facts?

Since you will print anything, here's a headline: "Carly Fiorina was last seen traveling on a Bridge to …."

Don't fall for this Obama supporters. This is another shiny metal object that the McCain camp is throwing in the air to change the subject. Why does he want to change the subject? It' simple, he doesn't want the country to dwell on the collasal mistake he made on Monday by saying the economy was strong, while Wall Street was tanking.

It won't work. John, we're on to you and your thugs.

Obama/Biden 08

CNN if you did your job and stop giving free campaign advertisement for McCain and Palin rather than constantly putting their lies in the press without research the american People would have better respect for you and your bias reporters.

When did Rupert Murdock take over? He already has Fox.

Why are they so desperate to put them on stage together. Why must we put a mole on stage with a mountain. They really think everybody is STUPID! Seriously….thats what McCain and his croonies think….that we are stupid.

Lets send Sebelius or Napolitano to represent Hillary…….

nate

You are a joke and a big lie. You are never a Dem u are a paid McShame blogger. we know your kind and WE DONT BUY YOUR LIES LIKE UR GOOD FOR LIES GOP PARTY.

NOTE THIS:
FACTCHECK : States that all Obama's ads are historically true and some are completely true…meaning McCain did and might just have changed his position in Aug.

McCain/Palin, get over it! You just want Americans to see Clinton and Palin in the same room so you can showcase it as if Clinton supports Palin. The Hillary Supporters are too smart for that. Hilliary Clinton and her supporters are for Obama/Biden. Stick to the issues and not the nonsense. Oh I forgot, McCain/Palin can't handle the issues. OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Check todays polls – Obama is back up. The lies arent working anymore. America is too smart.

Enough with the lying. CNN needs to call McCain out for what his campaign has been doing.

I'm one of those undecided. When I first heard about Clinton and Palin coming together i was excited to see that dispite all the mud slinging going on in the campaign these too ladies could put their differences aside long enough to join together against a common American enemy. I thought they could show the world that we may disagee at home, but we stand united against hate in this world especially hate directed against our country, and against someone bent on developing nuclear weapons for evil purposes. I guess I was wrong. Shame on you Hilary for putting self interest above national interest. To think I had actually thought of voting for you especially after seeing your strength towards the end of you campaign which you should have won.

ISSUES! ISSUES! ISSUE! McPalin is trying to manufacture fluff to divert attention from real issues. This is probably to help them recover from yersterday's srew-ups.!

Obama-Biden 08!

PALIN POWER September 17th, 2008 3:10 pm ET

No doubt…. although it's hard to pressure a Clinton…

Besides… you just know Hillary LOVES PALIN…

McCain 08 – Hillary 2012
——————————————————————————————————
How does it feel to be delusional?

Oh Boo Hoo Hillary did not join Sarah Palin BOOO Freaking HOO

Again…. Let me repeat this….

If you are for Hillary you cannot be for John McCain. He is the total opposite of what she stands for. So quit saying Hillary 2012 and get a life – OK?

A new standard has to be set by the media: If you accuse of anything and don't provide any proof your story won't be published, not even as a comment, smear, nothing. The best punishment for unsubstantiated claims is the removal of exposure, which is the only objective. Enough with the "news cycle wars", we need to start fixing the problems of this country!

Sadly, the press seems to have degenerated to the point that they take talking points from the Drudge report, so they'll keep reporting whatever the McCain campaign makes up as if it were fact. They "presume" the Obama campaign leaned on Clinton, so CNN reports it as fact.

Looks like we better give the American Dream a decent funeral before it gets all moldy.

McCain/Palin is a joke………………a bad joke.

If I was Hillary, I would run as far away from this event as I could.

What does Obama camp have to do with Clinton not attending the meeting… gee the McSame as Bush camp blames everythinig on Obama … they sincerely need to get a life this is just out of hand! Palin needs to talk to the folks about trooper gate and stop ducking from real issues and stop trying to get a photo oppurtunity with Hillary…

America …. the only way is Obama and Biden 2008!

mcshame is the most dishonourable grumpy old man who gets
excited only when he is surrounded by young female side kicks- cindy, sara, carly (now gone) but getting lynn foster.
get rid of this dirty old man.
mcconfuse, mcfogetful, mcnot sointouch,
pathological liar, would do anything whether right or wrong
shame these idiots calling them selves as mavericks.
i would call them Mccriminals-obstucking the justice and investigation of trooper gate.

Where are your facts to support that claim mcclueless? Why don't you go retire and take your pathological paliar sideshow with you. Question – if she is not ready to answer reporters questions how is she ready to be VP?

Hillary is way to smart for the republican party cheap tactic. She was way ahead of them this was her decision no body can pressure Hillary she is a strong woman who knows what is right and what is wrong.

The McCain camp sure spends a lot of time starting rumors to distract from the issues. Just like in High School. Grow up people.

Republicans blame everything on Obama. Ike, katrina, Bristol's child, Palin's 6th daughter, Carly Fiorina fired from HP, Paris hilton's underwear missing, Romney's stinking mouth..

Bill Oreily's missing brain, tropper getting fired, McCain's short hands you name it.. Obama is to be blamed for everything and anything..

Why don't all those good fans of these people…… "chose to not show up", at these rallys and town halls………then, let's see what they do then!

Hillary is way to smart for the republican party cheach tactic. She was way ahead of them this was her decision no body can pressure Hillary she is a strong woman who knows what is right and what is wrong.

OBAMA HAS PROVEN HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED. HILLARY WAS RIGHT!
———————————————————————————————

If Hilary was right before, then why isn't she right now? She is supporting Obama, so what's your point? Oh, you don't have a point.

Obama/Biden 08

I am sure that Obama is behind Hillary Clinton not going to the rally. Obama will use any means possible to use the Clinton's for his use, even through he would not choose Hillary Clinton as his VP. Truly a slime bag (if I can use the word that another Hillary supporter used).

How Obama is using the Clinton's is shameful, and if I were the Clinton's, I would tell Obama to shove it!

I am sure that the "Super Delegates" are wishing that they should have voted for Hillary Clinton for their nominee and not Obama. Plus not forcing Obama to name Hillary Clinton as his VP instead of Biden.

I am a Hillary Clinton supporter that is voting for McCain/Palin!

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

Give me a break….. You all are fools…. all of you…. of course Obama pressured her not to go…..

I would prefer to talk about flip flapping and a State Governor refusing to cooperate with an investigation that she had agreed to cooperate with prior to anyone ever hearing about her.

Or maybe about what makes her a expert on taxes coming from a state that's state budget exists because of oil revenues or maybe about oil payments to each and every citizen in Alaska on an annual basis.

Maybe her relationship with the Senior Senator from Alaska now under investigation.

Only thing good to say about her is as far as we know she is in good health and she has not as far as anyone knows shot anyone.

LOL…at the people who keep saying McCain/Palin 08 Hillary 12…dont you guys realize how hard it will be for Clinton to win in 2012 b/c of course McCain isnt going to run again so it will be Hillary vs. Palin. People will vote for Palin obviously b/c she will have had 4 years of VP experience under her belt. Maaan..ignorance is bliss these days!

McCain can't stop himself and his campaign from lying. One after another. How could anyone believe a word out of his mouth? it's getting kind of scary actually.

John McCain has become such a major liar. He will say and do anything to win. I use to admire John McCain but he is selling his soul for this election.

Once again McShame/Failin team wants to place blame. Waah, waah, waah….maybe they should have a committee determine why Hillary chose not to attend. Good god! What a bunch of morons!

I must say though, I am thoroughly enjoying watching the wheels fall off the "Double Talk Express."

Oh and Sarah, if the teleprompter fails at this event, just remember this….
You're screwed! (and we the people will be laughing our backsides off!)

I understand there are many that are hardcore republican and would vote for Homer Simpson if he was running as a republican. But seriously can anybody watch what the mockery the McCain campaign has made of this election and not get sick to their stomach. The he said, she said tactic is insulting to the intelligence of voters such as myself. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Granpa McLame, this is not different in your Goon Camp having tight mouth reigns on Palin. Why is she not facing the media without a teleprompter. She needs to be able to think on her feet and not off of a monitor.

So much for the Repugs education plan. It is obvious that it is not working from the evidence of Palin and McCain!!!

The repubs are trying desperately to cover up troopergate and Mccains' economic blunders! So they're now stooping to this bullcrap!!

IF PALIN HAS NOTHING TO HIDE WHY SHOULD SHE CARE WHO DOES THE INVESTIGATION—- SHE CAN END THIS BACK AND FORTH IS SHE JUST AGREED TO MEET WITH INVESTIGATORS AS SHE PROMISED AT THE CONVENTION— PROVE EVERYBODY WRONG PALIN— COOPERATE!!

Clinton does what she wants to do. What is right, unlike Palin who is nothing but the new Republican stooge. Get over yourselves already!

Unlike Sarah Palin, Hillary is her own women. She doesn't need to be coached & hand held. Hillary saw through your plan to shore up your Fluffy VP. What's the matter McCain did you already have a commercial planned of the women standing together, smiling, which would lead those low educated voters supporting you to think Palin has Hillary's blessing? Try again Grandpa. So tired of your lies and blaming Obama for everthing from troopergate, to the negative tenor of campaign your campaign, just because he wouldn't date you at some town halls. This voter has had ENOUGH!!!!!

Do you notice that the person who controls this blog is one of Obama followers? All comments blast Obama will not be selected!

Another phony controversy cooked up since McCain has no answers for the economy he ruined.

Hillary Clinton doesn't impress me as a person who would let ANYONE tell her what to do. Next they'll try to tell us Obama was responsible for the hurricane.

Who ARE these idiots speaking for the McCain camp?

ENOUGH!

E – Economy
N – National Security
O- Oil – Energy
U – Unemployment
G – Global Warming
H – Health Care

ENOUGH is enough! CNN I challenge you to step out of the norm and stick to the issues and report on just ENOUGH from the campaigns. Stop reporting about all of the trivia and mud slinging.

Do they really expect us to believe anything the McCain campaign says?

Just because they don't want to talk about the issues, they're deflecting.

If they lie about everything else, imagine what they'd do in office. SCARY!

david—-YES!

I can't reach a conclusion on a story until I hear from Tucker Bounds. Then I know the truth is the exact opposite of what he said.

Hillary democrat—-there is a website for you…it's called Fox News so you guys can all foam at the mouth together.

The McNasy's campaign is a campaign of whinners!

BOO Whoooooooooo!

Oh please…give Hillary some credit here. She can't be pressured by Obama. She is making her own decisions. She isn't spineless like the Alaskan Princess.

O whatever!!! They are trying to paint the image that Hilary and Palin are friends so that they can get more of the woman/Hilary former supporters votes. Now that that attempt failed they are now painting that she didn't reject the acceptance, Obama camp made her. Give me a break!! HILARY DOES NOT WANT TO BE COMPARED TO SARAH PALIN!!! Get over it!! How low will the McCain campaign go to win?

CNN shouldn't count on a reply from the MSHAME campaign; it's asking to interview their puppet Sarah Pailn – you will NEVER get an answer.

CLINTON SUPPORTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU THINK VOTING FOR MCCAIN WILL MAKE "HILLARY" PRESIDENT IN 2012………………………

WOW, YOU ARE IN DENIAL B/C………………………………..

OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL REMEMBER YOUR MOVE AND…………………..

WE WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOUR PRESIDENT , IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR OURS…PERIOD.

REPUBLICANS CAN TAKE THE OFFICE IN 2012 IF YOU ALLOW THEM TO TAKE IT NOW…

I PROMISE YOU…18 MILLION OBAMA BACKERS WILL REMEMBER YOUR SELFISH MOVE AND WON'T VOTE FOR CLINTON IN 2012………..

YOU BETTER THINK AND VOTE RIGHT!

"The McCain campaign has not yet responded to a CNN request for the source of the apparent allegations"

With the exception of PUMAs (repubs disguised as dems), Hillary votes belong to Hillary, and it was a cheap shot by Sarah Who to steal her voters.

Hillary is not stupid, she is much more intelligent than Miss Congeniality.

I am disgusted most by Republicans claiming they are democrats on the blog. How can you say McCain '08 and Clinton '12. This is a lie. Why aren't Republicans proud to be Republicans? Don't hide and present yourself as what you are not. You are the liar party and everyone around the wold knows it.

Call the McCain liars all you wish, but what is evident here is pure, low-down politics at its lowest. The Obama campaign has not uttered one word in weeks expressing his record and his plans on important issues. Why? Because the answer is NET ZERO. He hasn't any. He pushed and pushed on the Clintons and insulted them until they got out of the picture. Now, he recognizes his gross mistake and is running after them in a last-ditch effort as his campaign is screwing itself right into the ground. But guess what? It's too late. We respecters of the Clintons and the ultimate sacrifices they have made for our country see right through Obama's actions of not being able to make up his adolescent mind of just exactly what it is he wants.
So now all his supporters have adopted the mantra of lies, lies, lies in criticizing the McCain team. Obama made a huge mistake of not taking Hillary as his partner, and his supporters are making still worse mistakes of using hatred and their own false statements. Every time they criticize Palin and McCain, they get another vote.

McCain will lose, and be remembered as a textbook case for running a truly awful campaign.

If McCain was my grandpa I would lock him in his room for episodes like this!!!!

Same 'ol stuff from Obama and Clinton….Democrats first, Country second.

doesnt it seem like the ticket should be
Palin/Mccain from the way everybody's treating the new celebrity of politics?

It would be totally inappropriate for Hillary to appear on the same podium with Ms. Palin, and would create an atmosphere where the GOP would attempt to portray the two as allies. Totally correct for Hillary to withdraw.

To Nate: Your a closet Republican. Stop acting like you are a Democrat upset with Obama. You say that you have become increasingly upset with Obama and that he lies. I would like to ask you, what is McCain and Palin doing, telling the truth? Hell no. Your a deciever just like your Republican Party.

Nice try Repugs. Your scheme to get a campaign commercial showing both palin and clinton on the same stage didnt work and as usual when your little deviations dont work you go on to blame Obama for it. just like you did with your stupid town hall debates.

McLiar has zero credibility. You can't believe anything his camp has to say.

Doesn't matter who the source was. HRC can, and should speak for herself. It's just as well anyway, because I personally don't think anything she has to say would be worthwhile. There are other female senators that can do the same thing, if its a female they want. Washington State has two, but they never have anything worthwhile to say either.

Do republicans ever speak the truth…….more trash talk from McCain!

If Palin was invited why wasn't Biden invited. Why did this group invite Hillary. Are they working for republicans and try to spark difference within democrats. Good thing Hillary refused to go. McCain camp is trying there best to divert people's attention from Economy back to National security.

mccains camp will accuse anyone to get away from their lies lies lies and they know poeple are not dumb they are liars all they way to their last letter of words

You know, if the moon fell out of the sky and killed our incompetent friend W, Mccain would blame that on Obama. Maybe the wall street mess is Obama's fault too…I know, lets blame Obama for the hurricane and chinese food poisoning as well!

Remember everyone, according to the *wisdom* of John Mccain, its all Obama…You know there's a reason Mccain wasn't returned to active flight status after getting out of that rat-hole in Nam; he wrecked 4 planes due to gross incompetence and let himself get shot down in another after he failed to pull out according to established procedure. Anyone who actually bothers to look up the un-glorified history of this idiot can see that when his judgment and experience are the issue, the only reason he wasn't court-martialed and DD'd was because daddy was an admiral.

John Mccain when you screw up this country even further, there will be no one to to bail you (and us) out. Your military record is even more tarnished than Kerry's, and at least he had a reason for winning his medals. I guess the navy created a new one for drinking on duty and blowing up a grounded plane…idiot….

Ya this really tells the Mccain camp something, Hillary doesnt want to stand next to Sarah, way to go Hillary. Sarah and John just remember this was a task from God. God is looking out for the Obama people, However Gods biggest task will be to let Sarah and John loose this election. Who wants to listen to Sarah and Johns lies. Sarah and John what goes around comes around, you two have lots more comming towards you.

the surged worked, tell that to the weeping mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, sons or daughters who family members didn't come home or wont come home alive…… it may have worked but it wasn't worth the cost

THEY>>>>MUST>>>>THINK>>>>YOUR>>>>STUPID

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ENOUGH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Barack Your Vote!!!

I honestly believe that the majority of "Hillary supporters" and democrats for McCain that are posting here are GOP operatives. The women of this country are not stupid enough to support Palin just because she has a vagina. Sarah Palin isn't qualified to wipe dog crap off of Hillary Clinton's shoe!

Caribou Barbie and her Grandpa are making stuff up again. And how sad is it that the occurence of a VP candidate taking an impromptu question from a reporter is worthy of a headline??

Keating Five is all you have to know about McCain and what is going on with the economy now.

Everything wrong with McCain's camp — OBAMA

oh Come on. Mccain camp lies too much. Republican party is pathetic.obama camp needs to clarify this soon. Grandpa mccain..what is wrong with u? cant u just run a campaign on issues?

Go Hill,give Sarah the chill,shes a two-faced bimbo.

They are starting to step on their own toes with the lying. By insulting Clinton's self-reliance and independent decision making here, they make a BIG mistake.

CNN you have actually reported this without having any evidence to back it up and McCain did the same…. Wow what low lying rich idiot!!!!

IMPEACH MCACAIN/PALIN— THEY'RE A JOKE!

I wish Obama would take some of those millions and burn the wart off his nose!!! Yuck!!!!

Why would they send out a comment like that without backup?! Barack can't make Hilliary do anything she doesn't want to do. She is her own person! Barack doesn't have THAT MUCH power over Hillary!

As a true fan of Clinton, this really makes me go against McCain. Don't abuse her name as if you are her supporter. Don't use her name as if you stand with her value and policy. Because you do not. If you really support her, McCain should step down and ask Clinton to be the Republican nominee, and Clinton will reform Republican party to be aligned with Democratic vision and policy. Finally, we are united. Are you ready?

cnn,
i dont understand how you can ,as a news organization, shove obama and his supporters down the throats of those that want and demand a fair and balanced review of the candidates and the issues! Who died and made you GOD? I have news for all. The fact is that Obama will not win the presidency. Seek the depths of your soul and ask ypuself, IF another 9-11 occured in this great nation, who do you really want making the decisions?

Really, I don't know why Hillary just doesn't tell Obama to take a flying leap after he turned his back on her, smirked and kept his mouth shut when she was ridiculed and disparaged by the media – here's a situation where loyalty is corrupted by collusion and it's no longer loyalty, but a sell-out. Hillary – be your own person, not the party gopher.

Hilary has a brain unlike that brainless moose hunting, bikin wearing, bucket of fluff ,Palin!!

I personally think she would have did this event had it not been for SNL and that Hillarious spoof. I don't think she could stand there for it to compared to that.

I am certain Obama had nothing to do w/ that one. But I am sure McCain is disappointed because by Hillary being there w/ her it would have sent out some type of signal that she likes Sarah and she's Ok. At least that's how I would see it.

I'm amazed that the Mccrook campain continues to smear and tell outright lies. The media reports their lies and smear tactics and they just keep right on. What amazes me even more is that despite their lies being pointed out over and over there are people who still support this lying, low character scum and his pig Palin….

I guess only in America can you dump your 1st wife for being marred in an accident, marry another whom you call a c&*t in front of a reporter, lie/flip flop and have no idea what in hell you are talking about when it comes to the economy and normal everyday Americans, choose a VP running mate that is as dumb as a box of rocks and people still support you because you are white and have and extremist as a VP running mate who wants is against abortion and wants to legislate morality.

So it doesn't matter to these people that they lose their jobs, homes and everything else they own so long as "that black man doesn't get in" and no one can have an abortion they are fine with McCrook & Company being in charge-who doesn't give a rats butt about them. America's long slide into the abyss continues.

Fox News John McCain is 47% Obama 45%
CNN John McCain is 46% Obama 46%
Gallup polls up and down like a balloon.

For those who concern at the polls, great news for you, most people I knew had voted for Hillary will stay home or vote for John McCain this November. That is a real poll!

Hey McCain: Hilary has proven herself a big girl. She doesn't need you to point out when she does or does not feel pressured.

HILLARY DEMOCRAT!

FIRST OF ALL YOU ARE NO TRUE DEMOCRAT IF YOU WOULD EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING MCCAIN AND PALIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

SECOND OF ALL, PUT THEM IN AND KISS 2012 GOODBYE AS WELL.

BY 2016 HILLARY WILL BE CONSIDERED TOO OLD, OR NO LONGER INTERESTED!

WAKE UP!

Another lie put foward by the dishonest, hypocritical, whining Republican tools. McCain can't handle the truth.
I can't wait for the debates…especially Biden and Palin. And as we all know I'm certain McCain will be wearing some sort of electronic devise that wires him the answers. McCain is a fraud.

Such bitter, ugly comments. It is surprising how the Obama supporters are so full of hate toward John McCain and Sara Palin. You are not very good representatives of the Democratic party, or are you?

Hillary won't appear on the stage with Gov Palin because Hillary is old and ugly and Gov Palin is young and lovely, friendly, too. Hillary doesn't want the world to realize that she has gone beyond her usefulness.

Of course Hillary would withdraw. She isn't running against Palin. Why should she get into the flay. It's BIDEN that should be in on this one. Isn't he running along side or BEHIND obama? Last I heard Biden we s suppose to be obama's "running" mate ! I know he's sorry he got into this mess with obama but " the HEAT is on." In for a penny in for a pound as the saying goes. Sarah will do fine. She can handle the PRESS and Biden. This is an election of EXPERIENCE COUNTS. Being an American with CHRISTIAN AMERICAN VALUES is WHAT COUNTS. NO RADICAL IDIOLOGY HERE.

WOW ! dble WOW WOW !!!! Poor oboma- feel bad for him – ooooooh poor poor oboma – he's being picked on , down trodden, whens he gone a git his fair time ? oooooooh poor boy!

VOTE – McCain/Palin '08

The McCain camp making statements they can't back up? Really? Since when did this start happening? Oh yeah – since he entered the 2008 election

I guess McCain campaign would put anything wrong happening to him and his campaign on Obama's back…the funny thing is they are not even ashamed of making such statement!

No doubt that she pulled out of this under pressure from Obama. It makes her look like a partisan hack, though. I'll bet she changes her mind and attends. Mrs. Clinton will not be bullied by Obama and Axelrod.

How is it partisan if both Hillary (a Democrat) and Palin (a Republican) appear at the event. Didn't Hillary turn it into a partisan event by bailing?

It was an apparently partisan event when Hillary was the only representative of either party invited to speak. Including Palin made it non-partisan. So why is Hillary claiming she dropped out because it was partisan? did she drop out before Palin was invited?

Help me out here.

McCain's camp need to keep their dirty, lying, hypocritical paws off Hillary! Did they forget she is a REAL strong, intelligent, female politicians that can think for herself! She doesn't have a crew of handlers telling her what to do and how to say it? Shame on them….they'll just use and female or any situation for whatever reason that they see as potentially beneficial. Slimeballs….I need to go take a shower….the garbage coming out of their mouths is so vile I can feel it through the computer.

Hillary is her OWN woman. Obama CANNOT tell her what to do.

What does Obama have that he can take away from Hillary if she doesn't comply with his wishes? NOTHING!

The McCain camp is in disarray!

Even Republicans would have to admit that someone running for Vice President of the United States should not make HEADLINES for taking a question from a reporter. It's laughable.

Obama / Biden 08!

Hillary is not pressured by anyone (not even Bill). She would not let the Obama camp pressure her and certainly will not let the McCain camp presure her.

Hillary canceled her appearance as she understands that Palin is not in her league. Why should Hillary appear with a 2nd rate Mayor/Governor from Alaska who thinks foreign policy is based on what countries you can see from your back door.

Is the Witchcraft over from Alaska McCain's new shiny toy? It looks like he goes for the pretty kind, why, with all of his womanizing back in the days we can say one thing about him:

You can't teach an old dog new tricks…..

McGimmick, take your shiny new toy and STFD and STFU!

Bill and I are actually secretly supporting John but don't tell Barack.
He still thinks we're out campaigning for him.

Whether or not Obama pressured her to cancel does not matter. This is an important rally for the US and Israel as well as all the other nations that are worried about a nuclear capable Iran. As a United States Senator, Hillary should attend to show support towards our allies.

I can't wait till this election is over and we can all get back to just being Americans.

Dear Mr Mcwarmonger-insane-

PLEASE SHUT YOUR LYING TROUBLE MAKING CAKE HOLE AND GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPEW YOUR LIES IN CANADA, WHER YOU WERE RESPNSIBLE FOR THE MIRACLE OF THE BACKBERRY.

OLD. SENILE. FOOL

More proof that McCain sees women as airheads. I'm sure Hillary Clinton made that decision herself, she is hardly the pushover, as we witnessed during the primaries.

As for McCain's belief that the economy is fundamentally sound and his explanation behind that comment:

Fundamentals- The qualitive and quantitave information that contributes to the economic well being and the subsequent financial valuationof a company, security, or currency.

Fool me once, John McCain……….

So send Biden–I'm sure the he could portray the Obama agenda on Iran.
Oh that's right…he (and Obama) want to talk the Iranians out of taking over the middle east through terrorist networks and nuclear weapons through diplomacy. His method of stopping Iran would entail boring them to sleep–and HOPEing for the best.

McCain is ALWAYS making claims that can not be backed up….for instance, his whole stump speech is a claim with no merit. I fail to see why people defend him.

another mccain smear attempt?uhg!

Of course Obama was behind Hillary stepping aside.Trust me, the Obama team is very much aware of what they are doing. However, Clinton should still be there as the cause is bigger than the politics. This organization had every right to ask Palin to attend also. Their goal is to garner attention. Barack Obama is letting us down with his negative campaign tactics…no change…same old same old crap.

Again today McLiar twisted the truth to attack Obama. McIdiot railed about Obama taking money from Fannie Mae. The plain truth is that Fannie and all corporations give tax deductable contributions to candidates. Prior to the 2006 elections, when the GOP was in control of Congress. Fannie gave slightly over half of their donations to Republican candidates. This year Fannie gave slightly over half of the donations to Democrat candidates to include among many,Obama.
No big deal at all just the usual political donations that occur every years. Several Republican senators also recieved this money from Fannie.

Since when has Obama been able to MAKE Clinton do anything?!?

McCain/Palin has jumped the shark, Downhill from here on in ..Too many lies, and they won't stop them. Too much corruption, Palin is stonewalling an investigation. McCain has no idea what to do about the economy, "forming a commission" is the most wussy plan yet. And finally, the public and the press don't like being lied to, and aren't buying the crap anymore. It'll take a few days, maybe a week, for it to show up in the polls, but once you are branded as a liar, it sticks. It's over. Mark my words.

Let's talk about Palin refusing to coorperated with her investigation and now the Republ wants to file sutie.

If McCain voters read this little paragraph, (and god forbid should he win), someday you will remember we tried to warn you.

Senator Clinton can make her own decisions! She does not need Obama to tell her what to do.

MCCAIN VOWS!!

MCCAIN PROMISES!

MCCAIN PLEDGES!!

MCCAIN ACCUSES!!!!!!!!

MCCAIN DOES EVERYTHING BUT TELL AMERICA WHAT HIS PLAN IS, WHAT HIS SOLUTIONS AND ANSWERS ARE ON THE ECONOMY, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, UNEMPLOYMENT, ETC.

THE REASON HE DOESN'T TELL US IS SIMPLE…………………..HE DOESN'T KNOW…HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN, HE HAS NO SOLUTIONS!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

I think i'm gonna stop watching the news until the debates. I'm only getting angry and frustrated when I see articles like this. I CAN'T WAIT TILL OBAMA FRIES MCCAIN, AND BIDEN HUMILIATES PALIN.

Btw…CNN won't post this for obvious reasons.

Oh Please- thats sexist to think Hillary Clinton wouldn't make that call on her own!! LOL
No but seriously the fact that you think Hillary would be "told what to do" by Obama is obsurd. it makes complete sense to me that she wouldn't want to appear on the same stage as Palin- don't find it far fetched at all! This is not meant to be a partisan event and Hillary Clinton is avoiding it so it doesn't turn into one. Its best the focus be on the issue of Iran- not Hillary and Palin being there!!

I for one respect her decision and understand it completely!

Obama/Biden 08

McGimmick should focus more on his 'verbiage' and witch craft selected gimmick and leave the REAL work to REAL Candidates.

I think Sen. Clinton can make up her own mind without Obama campaign pressure. I am disappointed that she won't be there though because of her talk of bi-partisanship in her campaign and she said in debate after debate she will reach across the isle vs. Obama. There is nothing wrong with her and Sen. Palin attending this event together. Where is Joe Biden anyway shouldn't he be doing this vs. Clinton. He is the VP pick still isn't he?

The McCain camp thinks America is dumb like them.

They are desperately trying to upgrade Sarah Palin's credentials and getting Hillary who is an institution by herself to join a superlight weight like Sarah Palin would have solidified her on the national scene.

It's good that Hillary graciously declined joining forces with Palin to protest against Iran's hothead president to shore up her "foreign policy" credentials.
Let McCain take her to the United Nations so she can be on "foreign soil".

Why do they bring Sarah Palin who is actively campaining to be elected with Hillary who is not vying for any political office?
It was a dumb and desperate political move that backfired.

Once again, they are creating a diversion from the economic discussion. Don't let them get away – pin them down tight.
They're very uncomfortable when economics if the frontal issue – they'll do everything to change the subject.
FOCUS ON THE ECONOMY.
Wall Street!
Wall Street!!
Wall Street!!

… is falling apart and the center cannot hold!

Not Iran's Ahmadenege..(is that the spelling?)

BUT THE ECONOMY.

C'mon guys…do you really believe that Hillary want to put herself to the same level of Sarah Palin? Hillary is not dumb; she understand that the only one benefited by standing next to her is Sarah Palin, for she will look like a serious statewoman. I totally agree with Hillary on this one. She is keep her distance from Palin; in other words, she is telling Sarah: NO, YOU AND I ARE NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL, DEAR ! !

Lots of SCARED LIBERALS on here – LOL

McCain / Palin 08!!!!

Latest Gallup Poll has Obama at 47% and McCain at 45%.

The lies are not working, the faux celebrity VP is not working, the sleazy ads are not working and the tableaux of a third Bush term is weighing on the people. Looks like McCain sold out his soul for nothing.

Because republicans wouldn't think of pressuring Clinton.

Republicans are shameless. Period. All of 'em.

Are you kidding with the dow slipping another 300 points, AIG just being bailed out and all the McCain campaign can do is complain that Hillary Clinton did not appear with their vice presidential candidate. Give me a break.

Also, big deal…Sara Palin answered a solo question. In these times this is ridiculous bull crap!

Hillary has lost our trust. She is acting like Obama’s dogs…she will talk if being asked and will act when Obama asks for!

Why all of a sudden the republicans LIKE Hillary Clinton ?

LOL they think the democrates are stupid

Obama/Biden

The trial to take party of HRC from Republicans is nice but stupid. HRC from all her heart is a Democrat. She does all to succeed against dumb Rep politics.

Hillary, do not let him "use" you. The first one in the campaign to use SMEAR TACTICS is Obama.

When he was talking to a crowd of his supporters, he said: "SOMEONE, SOMEONE, in this race has been talking about HEALTHCARE for 8 years, then another 4 years. What did that person accomplish? Are we going to give her four more years? "

We know you were attacking Hillary. But you were very skillful and sneaky by not mentioning her name.

As angry Hillary supporters, we remember this clearly: YOU ARE THE ONE USING SMEAR TACTICS TO KNOCK DOWN HILLARY.

McCain / Palin 08!

More garbage from McCain. When is he going to stop flip flopping on the economy and start talking about real issues?

First they say the obama camp "tainted" the investigation in Alaska. Now this…? I feel like everyday, it's a new lie! I would not want to be near Palin either

Wow you liberal Democrats really are in a panic – listen to you all – this is so entertaining – don't you realize, no one is listening to you anymore except the Hollywood fools?
You have lost your touch and are now striking out in ay way you can – you look very foolish. and comical

Why on earth would Hillary want to appear with No Experience, No Good Judgement Sarah (Yak Yak) Palin.

All you supposed Hillary supporters are really closet Republicans trying to stir up trouble. Guess what WE Obama lovers are on to you.

Get a life, you're candidate (McNutcase) is not going to be the next President.

Obama will win by a landslide!!! WHoppee!

"but did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim."

Now there's a surprise.

Sarah couldnt carry Hillarys you know what,and Im not a Hillary fan.

Now that's Novel !!! Who's on who's side??? I think that McCain is fearful that Hillary will knock Palin and her lack of qualifications right out of the RING. Go Hillary !!! Thanks for supporting Obama.

Conduct unbecoming McCain.

The McCain Campaign will do and say anything to win an election! It is amazing to me how he sleeps well at night. I was stupid to actually believe what he said in the primaries, "I will run a campaign on issues". When is that going to happen McCain? You have lied, cheated the American people from the deserving truth, insulted all women thinking that we will vote for you JUST b/c Palin has breasts! (As if making your mistress , your current wife wasn't enough!) You have lost my vote b/c I will NEVER vote for a President that has the same level of integrity as every vilian in every movie I've ever seen

Hillary Clinton is a Democrat !!! Hillary Clinton is a Democrat !!!
She does whatever is best for her friends Obama / Biden !

Hillary Clinton is quite her own woman, and it would take a group of clueless conservative men to accuse this woman of being able to be manipulated like they are used to manipulating the women in their own party to do and say what they, the men, would like them to do and say. How RUDE. How DEMEANING toward Hillary. I agree with Barack. THEY JUST DON'T GET IT. Their Palin Puppet and our Hillary have NOTHING IN COMMON. I continue to be amazed at the idiocy of the Republican party.

another desperate republican attempt to distract from the real issues! how will john mccain fix the economic problems? with a commission? are you kidding me? a vote for the mccain/palin ticket is a vote for lobbyists running the white house again. look at their staff -> all lobbyists

Obama needs to get off his message of John McCain is another 4 years of George Bush. They're two very different men. Sounds Republicans say that Obama is another 4 years of Bill Clinton's kind of sleeze? . . . . Exactly.

I think that this is a serious accusation and if there is no proof of Obama doing this then I think it is time we start calling McCain what he is a liar. I think it is stupid for any Presidental or VP candidate to be at this rally. You may actually have to sit down with these people in the very near future and for you to attend something like that is just stupid. Does the McCain campaign have any plans or do they just wing it everyday. This is suppose to be the experienced one no wonder he tried to switch to change. McCain is a joke.

McCain is just trying to use a psych trick where you say a clear lie but it imprints on people's minds whereby they start subconsciously believing it. Brother-pucker! Trust me, Obama didn't have to even know about the event for Clinton to pull out of it the moment she heard Palin would be there trying to feed off of the Clinton kitchen.

So much for bipartisanship

We can not even agree to agree.

Somone should show the clip of the Israel hater guest at palins church this summer at which palen was in attendance,check the facts for me please cnn.

Uhh..I dont think ANYBODY tell Hillary what to do.. Mccain is a bone head!!!

If Hillary Clinton had wanted to attend this rally with Sarah Palin, I doubt seriously that there would be much Obama or his campaign staff could do to stop her. McCain's campaign wants to make this about Obama to get the focus off the economic news this week since McCain has no clue about economics. Since the news media follows McCain and hangs on his every word as if it were gospel, McCain will probably get his wish.

No surprise here! These are the typical slimy tactics of the republican party in this election…. anything and everything that happens, blame Obama! Incredible! They have even found ways of blaming Obama for natural disasters! These repug liars are an insult and an indication of the moral defects in American society!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

The McSame/Palin misinformation Goon Squad can never leave anything alone without trying to put an anti-Obama spin on it. Then they have the nerve to complain when Obama says anything about McSame.

Say NO to Bush 44.

Pardon me, but Sen Clinton is a very Grown up and Mature Woman capable of making up her mind whether to do something…or Not. Unlike Gov Palin who is incapable of having a thought of her own.

Give me a break…..this insinuation is a new LOW for McCain and his crew.

The democrats better pull it together.

First mistake: trashing and sacrificing Hillary to advantage and install Obama.

Do NOT now pit Hill with Sarah.

Respect BOTH women.

There's no source..that just fodder for the ignorant and for those who hate Obama to have a reason to fuel negative emotions toward him. But soon enough they'll have to let the pittbull in lipstick off that leash and we'll see that it's a chihuahua in disguise

These republicans are full of CRAP , Hillary is a LADY, she goes where she wants to , behaves appropriately even under pressure, she has GREAT CHARACTER, so go JUMP in the ICY waters of Alaska, and stop trying to nit pick.. get to the issues IMPEACH THE PITBULL

Why is CNN even reporting this if there is absolutely no facts to back up the claim? "Presumably"….watch how I can use that in a sentence:

Presumably CNN has journalistic integrity, though there is no evidence to back up that claim.

Excuse me, but how does having both a prominent Rep. and Dem. appearing there for a common cause like keeping nukes from Iran make it 'partisan'? In fact it makes it just the opposite. Everyone agrees that Iran should not have nukes, so what's the problem with both Palin and Clinton saying so? It shows Iran and the world that the US is united on this issue. Clinton is the one who made this partisan.

Perhaps Joe Biden is American gentleman enough to "be on the same stage" with a nasty republican…
\You democrats are sickeningly partisan.

I don't think anyone could push Hillary. She's a strong woman. She has her own mind!

Obama couldn't even travel to New Orleans earlier in the year to talk about issues still plaguing citizens of Hurricane Katrina. You think he'll attend this one? Not enough people there to cheer him on . . .

John McCain is scared to directly accuse Clinton. Why? Because his plan to get Hillary voters with Sarah Palin could backfire. He could care less about women issues. He just needs their vote for a couple months, then he's going to dump them.

John McCain is a coward!

And P.S. John McCain isnt a war hero! To be a war hero, you have to preform an act of heroism in war. Being a POW doesnt qualify you for that. Especially when you gave the enemy propoganda videos and told them of troop movements.

Also, a close sourse told me McCain was to blame for the fire on the aircraft carrier. This source was on that ship. John McCains father covered up this because he had the power to do so.

Palin is a farce.

Poor McCain, those pesky things called "facts" always get in the way.

Maybe the problem is his campaign is focusing on Clinton when they should be focusing on the economny during some of the worst days in our history.

Pay attention to the real problems McCain!!!!

Hillary is upset that she is not longer the Alpha female in US Government.

No One Is Pressuring Hillary To Not Attend. . . She Is Just Too Smart To Fall For Your Republican Tricks! You Just Want A Photo Op With Palin And Clinton But Its Not Happening! Nice Try!

I can fix the economy, I can see Bank of Wasilla from my house!

And you believe that.

And I sure hope the group doesn't disinvite Palin. They should be question Barry and another example of do what I say not as I do.

The event will have no meaning what so ever if they fall pressure to politicians this way.

GO SARAH!

Read the headline – first thing (word) that came to mind was LIE.

McCain's camp is just one big fat LIE. Well, correction . . not just one but many, many LIES.

Good for Hillary – I wouldn't want to be on the same stage as Palin either.

"Stop Iran. Now" rally? Is this the title of McCain's hopeful 3rd war that is on the top of his priority agenda?

If you can't beat them, drag them down to your level…

I love cnn, you are my source for info. Yet you guys are being biased. you never updated the polls on ticker on time when they ar at Obama's advantage. I will leave you and will blog on your biased nature. The polls changed on the election center page

Clinton should have canceled. We are all getting use to the "ad's" of the McCain camp…they would have had a field day with this one. Palin was a prop for the McCain camp and now after the bad Convention speech they will try anything.

I want to know if in fact the question Palin was asked today was from one of the reporters travelling with her? Palin is very spooky. she is cute but gosh she definitely seem vindictive and not so smart. It appears she liked the attention at first. One could only imagine what if they are truly elected? I would like to hear more about the economy solutions then canned answers. Let her answer 2 or 3 questions vs. 1 and that's it…

Still Undecided…

Another day, another lie.

John McCain is crying now? I don't believe it! So Mccain's plan is to give America their "Election Idol" = Palin as a celebrity while hiding the truth about his plans and her records thereby calling Americans fools. LOl! What happened republicans? Saw Obama back on top of the Gallup Poll and freaked out? Palin? hahahahah, you wait till next week Friday and Obama will literally fry McCain on the economy and everyone will see that Obama had to treat Hillary differently during the debates because of respect and not to annoy the base as uniter.

Leave her alone, she doesn't want to attend with Palin for photo op. Sorry Republicans, can't have her as a material for your next dubious ad.

Why don't you invite George Bush or Dick Cheney instead, that will be better, don't you think?

Of course they would say that. They are trying to use this event for political means, and that's why Clinton wont show up. Frankly I don't blame her either, I wouldn't want to be shown on the same stage as Palin either. She is a joke. McCain is a joke.

I think it was very smart of Hillary to back out of this rally. I am sure McBush wanted to use the appearance of Hillary and Palin together to try to deceive women (once again) to think the two shared commonalities. Please review their differences/policies (Dems & Repubs) Americans don't let this be another election that stupid people elect stupid leaders!!! We can't afford 4 more years of this travesty!!!!

Now the G.O.P. is playing the victim role? They're just as confused as McCain

ONE NATION

No he can't because we're UNITED.

Democrats 08.

lying idiots….

Republican smear without any evidence — gee. Who would have thought?

Hillary is the best- no doubt about it.

Too bad she was swiftboated by democrats for Obama and ONLY for Obama even IF Obama will lose in NOV.

Too bad the intra-party vitriol superceded logic, reason, common sense and commitment to what is best for the party and the country.

STOP BASHING HILLARY.

STOP BASHING PALIN.

START BASHING OBAMA FOR BEING SUCH A DIVISIVE, UNITER.

There is no source and therefore it is not news. You took the bait CNN.

Where is Hillary's response to Palin/McCain's blatant use of her AGAINST he party's niminee?

"The McCain campaign has not yet responded to a CNN request for the source of the apparent allegations."

And they won't be responding because they don't have a source, just more BS made up to keep the focus off the issues.

And why is it BIG news that Palin took her first spontaneous reporter question after campaigning for 3 weeks? Doesn't this bother anyone else? Does anyone put their country first? She is a nice person, but so is my barber and I wouldn't want him running this country either. Haven't we had enough stupid yet? I want someone smarter than me running this country not someone like my next door neighbor.

Everything that McCain/Palin touches have twists, taints, lies, smoke & mirrors to it. This is SOOOOO republican of them!

Obama is slime bag….go Hillary in 2012 and McCain in 2008.

McCain's campaign are blaming Obama for the trooper-gate investigation which was already in progress (and spear-headed by 3 repubs and 2 dems) when Palin's name was entered into the political equation. Now they're blaming Obama for Clinton's decision not to attend this protest. They so desperately want to focus on non-substantive issues. The economic debate put McCain and Palin in the hot seat because neither of the two can articulate the problems, the causes or their proposed resolutions. They so desperately want to talk about lipstick on a pig. As long as there are hurricanes, economic woes and other substantive issues, the McCain/Palin strategy is off course. Study your note cards McCain, because WaMu is scheduled next to take a fall.

McCain and Palin are lier the republican are trying to get Hillary and Obama angry at each other it want work republican party….The demoncratic party are united and we out in full force in the street campaigning for Obama/Biden to be elected..

More important – Where are Palin's tax returns?

I doubt anyone could pressure Hillary to do or not to do something. Palin probably invited herself so she could give the impression that she and Hillary are on the same page. Heck, Ms. Palin isn't even in the same book as Hillary. Hillary is one of a kind. I mean that in the most respectful way too.

Obama/Biden 08

IF YOU WANT HILLARY TO BE PRESIDENT IN 2012 THEN VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN 2008!!!

OBAMA HAS PROVEN HE CAN'T BE TRUSTED. HILLARY WAS RIGHT!

Way to go. Make claims with no proof.

First of all what does Palin know about Iran or nuclear weapons? She can not pronounce either correctly. She is only being sent by McCain to keep up her cardboard image.

All she knows is how to take 5 years and 4 schools to get a communications degree. Why didn't she study something more useful like Latin?

waah, waah. Are the Republican and McCain campaign attributing to Obama for having actual 'leadership' and 'power' within the DNC and its current leaderships?

And I thought they would stick to the message that he can neither lead nor bring the Dems together.

They can't respond b/c their is no source. This is yet another attempt by the McCain campaign to throw the focus off of what's going on with the economy….don't take the bait MEDIA!

Of course they haven't responded to requests for proof of their allegations. Just more of the same lies. Pathetic.

Yeah right! I'm so tired of McCain thinking that he invoke the name of Clinton every time he thinks it will bring some benefit to him.

Maybe Clinton didn't want to attend because she's tired of McCain trying to take every opportunity they can to use her in a way to gain votes. I want to know who in their right mind would think that Palin attending a meeting somehow gives her new foreign policy creds?

McCain, you are disgusting man with no honor!

Earlier this week Governor Palin accepted an invitation to join Hillary Clinton in speaking to a nonpartisan rally organized by groups dedicated to halting Iran's nuclear program,”

But no body told Hilliary that Palin was invited and Hilliary did not want to be a part of McSane and Palin little games. Good for Hillilary to canceled her apparents. Palin just trying to steal the spot light from Hilliary and Hilliary supporters as well. No Palin, No McSane!

Once again, McCain not about the issues, but campaign gossip and drama.

Keating Five anyone? Sounsd like someone needs to google that! McCain you are done!

CNN, post the new Gallup daily polls!

And by the way….if the McCain Camp would stop pressuring CNN, maybe we wouldn't have to keep reading the same ol' lame headlines under politics about Palin and the tired "cry-baby" ranting of Cindy McCain about the View hosts actually making her husband answer a question. God forbid.

More and more despicable… trying to manufacture false controversy…

Hillary needs to make a public statement herself and slap them down.

Are the Republicans insinuating that The Great Senator H. R. Clinton cannot make an Intelligent Decision of what was exactly happening at that and any other time?

why do they lie? please help us McCain, your lies are becoming too blatant.

Most people will not vote for Obama.

HIS PAST has too many GRAY SHADOWS.

We have many doubts hanging on our minds.

Check his past with ACORN. He's very sneaky.

When Hillary did the right thing at the convention, it was a great feeling. I hope we can take that same spirit and win this election. Dems deserve it.

Obama/Biden 08

These people are liers! Blame Obama for everything. This is a pattern. Obama if the one responsible for the Troopergate investigation, the failed economy, the Iraq war, the sexist remarks against Sarah and oh yes, the recent hurricane! Get a life people!

This nonsense has got to stop. McCain campaign does nothing but make baseless charge after baseless charge. Talk about issues. Senator Clinton is her own woman, if she chooses not to attend that is her decision. And considering Senator Clinton's stature next to that of hockey barbie, hockey barbie shouold be grateful. Of course it would make excellent fodder for SNL.

So mccain, How are the fundamentals of the economy today?

The McCain campaign is just desperate… Lies are all they have left. They're going down Nov 4th.

OBAMA/BIDEN

Obama Camp pressuring someone ??? Nah, can't be… Does the State of Iowa come to any ones mind ?

Hillary don't listen to the Obama thugs. After the way you were slandered and lied about, you owe them nothing. Do what is right, not what Obama commands.

Go Green Party for feminism, anti-war and real change.

Huh. Hillary doesn't want to be on stage with the person that the Republicans think is going garner her 18 million votes. Way to go Hillary….she doesn't hold a candle to you and should not be compared any longer!

Oh my GOD Mccain camp has NO SENSE OF HONOR OR DECENCY, WHAT SLIMEBALLS!!!

THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO SPLIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

I think Senator Clinton is more than capable of making her own decisions, and not sharing the stage with the great pretender Palin is an excellent choice. Palin is and never will be the same caliber of leader as Senator Clinton.

I think it high time that the Republican stop fabricating a rift that does not exist and focus on the issues.

No McCain. No Palin. Our nation deserves better than a couple of liars.

Econominc meltdown and the McCain camp focuses on a "presumably" something happened. How about creating an economic plan. Oh, that right, that would be much hard.

Okay:

First… everybody from any side… LAY OFF HILLARY.

She is the best and you all in your own personal hateful ways have damaged this great champion of the people.

Second… stop attacking Palin and stop comparing two women from opposing parties and stop criticizing each of them for being GREAT representatives of their respective party.

Finally- let's be non partisan and hear what these two women believe- and share the stage- that is dialogue and communication.

Are you kidding me? Wasn't it just a couple of months ago the McCain camp was touting how ruthless the Clintons are?

Now suddenly she can be pressured? Make up your mind, McCain, is she ruthless or a spineless simp?

Clinton is a strong and accomplished woman who can make her own decisions and to belittle her for not falling into an obvious GOP trap makes McCain look like a fool.

When will these people get it through their heads that Clinton doesn't like Palin. Doesn't agree with Palin on ANYTHING and is definitely not going to appear with her.

LIARS

desparate, sad, LIARS

why do they lie?

T O O———B A D——– H I L L A RY——–D O E S N' T———F E E L—

IF YOU SUPPORT HILLARY CLINTON AND WANT HER TO BE PRESIDENT IN 2012 THEN VOTE FOR MCCAIN IN 2008

HILLARY 2012

I hope the Obama camp will use some of the money raised by Barbara Streisand to pay Hillary's debt. After all, she and Babs are friends. It would be a nice gesture.

Was for Hill, now voting for Barack.

It sounds like the McCain campaign tried to sneak Palin in on an event that Clinton had already confirmed. When Clinton learned about Palin coming she canceled. End of Story. If the lame McCain campaign would try to be original instead of parroting Obama's cry for change…the world might think they were at least a little genuine. The McCain campaign have proven themselves to be BIG FAT LIARS!

Give me a break. If Clinton doesn't want to be there, she doesn't want to be there. She does have a brain of her own and I truly believe that she uses it, unlike others who are told what to do and what to say. She IS her own woman.

"Evidence"? "Proof"? "We don't need no stinking proof!"

This report has no credibility until Tucker Bounds weighs in.

Does Sarah Palin even know where Iran is on a map? Probably not since she cannot see if from Alaskas shores….

John McCain makes me sick! He's become in my eyes a disgusting old man. And Sarah Palin is viewed in my eyes as a lying greedy woman, using her gender to try to woe voters. Combined, they form the worst possible fit. Go back to Alaska sarah. Here in the real America, we dont take kindly to your kind! Outsider

Every other story about the campaign says "McCain accuses…" grow up you crybaby. You're giving Vets a bad name with all your lying and whining.

Wait for the debates.

Grasping at straws…Let it go McCain!

No doubt…. although it's hard to pressure a Clinton…

Besides… you just know Hillary LOVES PALIN…

McCain 08 – Hillary 2012

McCains motto…When in doubt start lying.

They haven' t responded CNN because this is petty!

The US in drowning in forecloseures and job losses!..Please let this rest!

There go the McCain folks again, in a dire need to get Palin back in the news. Hillary can make up her own mind and keep her own schedule. So, thanks but no thanks it is.

what the heck is wrong with McSane. He need to quit talking about Obama and what Obama is doing and start tell the American people what the heck he is going to do for this country. McSane is very very pitty.

Wow…the McCain camp is really making stuff up now. Why not name your sources of this information if they truly exist???? I'm pretty sure Clinton withdrew on her own. She's no dummy!

Only in America could someone like Palin be considered for this type of position! So why are people surprised when people disregard us? And why would any woman in 2008 vote for someone that reflect where we were and not where we hope to be? I just don't get it

no pressuring at all she just doesnt want to be seen on stage with someone who has nothing in common with her or shares her beliefs. Also if i remember correctly Palin called her a whiner! You cant backtrack on that, nor back track on saying our economy is strong!

HERE WE GO AGAIN PUTTING THE BLAME ON OBAMA SINCE MCSAME TACTIC FAILED

I think we can all agree that Hillary Clinton is a woman who makes her own decisons.
The McCain campaign is really reaching today.
But then again, they are in it pretty deep right now.

They are so D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E these days. Are they going to blame Mr. Obama for the tainted baby formula in China? How about hurricane Ike? Is Mr. Obama also responsible for Ms. Palin and Grampy avoiding the press for weeks now? Get a grip, McPain/Pablum.

The republicans are full of it. They want the public to see Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin together to sway women democratic voters point blank. They want Sarah Palin to feed off of the national respect and admiration Hillary has worked tirelessly for and that Sarah Palin has done nothing to earn yet. Hillary Clinton is too smart to fall for these republican shenanigans. She made this decision to drop out on her own because she knows that this election is too close and that she would rather have 8 years of solutions than rally one day with the opposition and help them win an election and have 8 more years of failure. The repulicans don't have any proof at all that Obama's team told her not to go they are just throwing a bunch of garbage out there. Hillary Clinton can do whatever she wants to do.

The media is just now paying attention to Obama's ground game, which has been in play since day 1. These subtle yet significant moves are going to be the shock and awe of this election!

Nice try mccain camp you tried to pull a fast one on senator clinton dont you know she too smart for you we know your use to brainless palin but dont ever take senator clinton for a fool! and senator clinton WOULD LET NO ONE PRESSURE HER she has her own mind unlike sara palin who is being brainwashed and hijacked by the mccain campaign NICE TRY THOUGH IDIOTS!

Don't worry about who's going to be there. McPOW you need to be trying a way to fix what you helped to break……..The economy. And, that ditz that you selected as 1st chair needs to be in some hotel room cramming to answer questions if asked.

Good God, the McCain campaign is paranoid!

Who in their right mind thinks Hillary could be presurred? Not today, not ever. Sarah on the other hand is a puppet, and that is exemplified by the fact that she's still in hiding.

The joke is over folks, we need to get back to the real world and real issues.

Obama/Biden 08

uh – I think what I meant was – as long as you use the worD "presumably".

nice try McCain, Obama is ahead in the gallup polls. Stop trying to divide for your own political gain. You John McCain care nothing for our issues, only our vote.

Yes that is what you do best blame Obama for every lies, misstep, mis-statement. Imagine blaming Obama for Clinton being smarter than you guys? Wow. You blamed Obama yesterday for Palin toopergate probe. What else …i think i need to tell all you GOP sponsored bloggers to take responsibility. Clinton didnt ask Palin to back out. Let her go and face interview and unscripted. American demand answers

Blame game again

Wow, they are just making up all kinds of stuff now!!

obama 08

What a shame. It was supposed to be nonpartisan, so why did Camp Obama pressure Hillary to not attend? What, they aren't opposed to a Nuclear Iran?

GREAT

Good thing Obama didn't back out of the only one 9 11 Memorial event. He already didnt't attend the Shanksville one.

And obviously his wife didn't find the American events worthy of her attendance.

Is Backtrack Obama trying to make all Democrats look angry and divisive? WAKE UP HILLARY!

The Republican noise machine at it again. No answers. Just alot of noise.

I say let both great women speak their minds in a non-partisan way.

Too bad HRC pulled out.

I am a Clinton supporter but I can handle her and Palin on the same stage.

What is the big PARTISAN deal?

John McCain’s campaign seemed to accuse Barack Obama of pressuring Hillary Clinton to withdraw from appearing at a rally with Sarah Palin, and pushing the group to disinvite the Alaska governor – but did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim.

Isn't this the modus operandus for the entire McCain campaign?
While Obama is out there outlining his plans for a brighter future McCain attacks with smears and total and utter lies. His answers are vague and his choice of Palin was a mad grab at Hillary supporters. It was a poor choice.

Where is your plan McCain? What are the real issues to you? Because so far, you have failed to produce. I am trying to be even here but you and the GOP aren't giving me anything to work with. It's a lopsided argument favoring Obama.

Maybe lies and ignorance is enough to beat Obama…maybe not.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08 DEMOCRATS '08 AND FOREVER

ENOUGH WHINING MCCAIN!

I KNOW YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO ANSWERS, NO PLAN, NO SOLUTIONS, BUT FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP THE WHINING AND MOANING LIKE A SPOILED CHILD.

DAY AFTER DAY, WHINE WHINE WHINE!

IT'S GETTING AS OLD AS YOU ARE. SHUT UP ALREADY!

More desperate LIES from McCain!

LOL….yeah…like you guys are concerned about Hillary.

Isn't she campaigning for Obama? You must be pretty desperate now to try and play on feelings that she's being manipulated.

When Bill comes on the trail after wrapping up the charity work in Africa then this will be a wrap for the Dems.

WOW!! More LIES! They just say what they want to !

And Hillary goes wee wee wee all the way home. No guts to be on the same stage with Palin.

Why was it non-partisan before, but partisan after you learned she would be there? Was it, actually, that Hillary thought it was going to be another Bash Bush Fest? Aw, too bad.

Note to Democrats: THE SURGE WORKED!

Impressive. I guess you can say anything you want, make up any lie you want, commit any kind of libel or slander that you want, as long as you use the work "presumably".

I am so tired of the conservatives my head is spinning. Everytime something happens they blame Obama!! Clinton have her own mind. Clinton did not want to be on the same stage with Palin. It would look like she was campaigning with her!!

mccain camp is nuts, every little thing they blame obama… what the?

Dear McCain camp,

GET OVER YOURSELVES!

-Independent for Obama

Can you blame Hillary? I would not want to appear on stage with that Republican puppet (Palin) either.

So by the Republicans' logic, should Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee be obligated to appear with Joe Biden at a speaking event? I think not.

Poor little Johnny. Things don't go his and Sarah's way, so it's a big conspiracy that the Obama campaign came up with. What lie are you now going to come up with to put a negative spin on this issue.
McCain/Palin the party that will LIE AND CHEAT to win an election.

This is absurd.

I thought we were all for better bipartisan efforts.

Hrmmm

Let me try.

McCain invented the Blackberry

McCain never lies.

There is a Tooth Fairy

Santa Clause is real

Gee making stuff up is easy, tell me why again they are even paying "McCain-Palin spokesman Michael Goldfarb" to come up with this stuff.

Clinton would be wise to stay away…I just finished watching Obama's speech in Elko, Nevada and all I can say is that as a democrat, I am discourgaed of the tactics my candidate is taking. He is accusing McCain of having ties to lobbyist, basically strecting the truth about Phil Grahm, who is not connected to the McCain camp, but never mentions his lobbyist, namely David Axelrod. Obama promised us a new type of politics. He won my vote during the primary season by promising to rise above politics as usual, and all he does is talk about John McCain or Sarah Palin..This is one democrat that would prefer we had Hillary Clinton back at the top of the ticket. Obama has lied over and over to the American people and this will destroy the democratic party.

Honestly – does anyone believe that Hillary Clinton would be "pressured" into canceling an event she felt she should attend? Hillary has a mind of her own – for McCain to imply otherwise is downright foolish…as McCain recently said in his ad … "How DISRESPECTUL!"

is anyone keeping track of all the fabrications coming out of the McCain camp these days? I don't know if they are desperate, or just terrible people. The media needs to continue letting the public know when they make up facts to strengthen their falsified arguments. Only in America could a group who runs on the slogan of "straight talk" base their entire campaign on lies. I was a concerned democrat about 2 weeks ago, but I get more and more confident with every lie that I hear them tell. America has to be above this.

I'm sure the closest Sen. Clinton wants to be to Palin is on Saturday Night Live.

He and Cindy didn't answer questions today. They're as phony as McCain's promise to pick someone who would be ready to lead the country from day one. Sarah will never be ready because she doesn't have the education or the background to lead the country. She just doesn't.

And while she and Todd are traveling, who's taking care of her special need's child? So much for family values.

They should send Biden, see how Palin sounds after he exerts a bit of that 36 year experience and foreign policy exposure.

Blah Blah, just another smear from the Grumpy Old Party!

IF you have any proof that The Obama Campaign, or the DNC put any pressure on Sen. Clinton show it.

I'LL wait, …….. Hummmm I didn't think so!

Why is it every time sometimes happens that the McCain camp doesn't like it is immediately blamed on Obama's camp. As an independent voter I have grown very tired of "he made me do it" nonsense. The McCain slogan should be "The Devil Made Me Do It" because nothing that happens is never of their own fruition. Childish!!!

PS: If Obama weren't black this race would have been over months ago. Say what you will but American's are some of the best closest racist in the world. You can try to deny it if you want. The same people denying it can probably tell you how many "black friends" they have.

Nice job Mccain campaign. New smearing campaign begins….

Another brilliant observation by the man unfit to lead. Newsflash to McCain & friends: Obama can't pressure Hillary to do anything.

There was no pressure. The Repugs tried a little trick to make it look like the ultra right wing religious zealot Palin had something in common with Hillary. They do not have anything in common and Hillary refused to be used as a McBush prop.

Now Hillary ! Put the "Straight Lie Express" in its place !

Oh Lord..Palin wants attention in such a noble cause also..Hell NO>.Hillary did the right thing

"did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim."

GOP making things up again to distract/divide us?? SHOCKING!

Issues = 0

McCain-Palin are lying AGAIN……

ok the republicans need to shut the hell up.Mrs Clinton wont go so low as to appear with a Clinton wannabe(Plain).I respect Mrs. Clinton for her decision and the republicans need to stop crying foul and address the issues at hand

Yet another lie from the McCain/Palin camp, and not a very good one at that.

I appreciate CNN "truthing" this accusation in the body of the article.

Yea…keep waiting for that source CNN. I don't know what's scarier – the republicans resulting to these tactics or that the tactics are effective on seemingly sane people.

ok the republicans need to shut the hell up.Mrs Clinton wont go so low as to appear with a Clinton wannabe.I respect Mrs. Clinton for her decision and the republicans need to stop crying foul and address the issues at hands

Are the Republicans soooo desperate to make it look like Palin is the second coming of Hillary that they would ambush Hillary in such a forum?

Silly question….of course they are!

Another set of LIES coming from the McCain campaign it seems.

Clinton was right to cancel. By allowing Palin to give one of her misleading, canned speeches in front of Clinton's supporters it would have made it seem that the two are on the same level and also mislead people into thinking they're somehow one in the same. I commend Hillary for noticing the trick and sidestepping it.

this is so petty and stupid – stop wasting our time mccain and focus on the ISSUES

issues people…issues….

I was just thinking. I will need income now that my 401k has been destroyed. Think I will apply to John McCain's campaign for a job in his transition team. I beleive I could be secretary of the treasury since I have had a dollar the other day. Now however it is only worth about 49 cents. But since I had it in my hand and later my purse surely I am qualified. I know I could be in Housing since I once had a house, until it was foreclosed. Or perhaps I could be secretary of the interior sine I once stayed in a national park and have seen people who do drugs and do sex. I am just unfortunate that I didn't go to high school with Palin and have missed out on an Alaska government job as a result. Oh well I feel confident that John fox McCain will protect the chicken house on wall street.

Probably more lies from the McCain campaign. They are really, really grasping at anyting to divide the 'UNITED' Democratic Party.

So basically,

Anything that doesn't go the way of the Republicans, then it's Barack Obama's fault.

- Hillary doesn't want to appear with Palin….Blame Barack Obama.
- Both campaigns are going negative…Blame Barack Obama.
- The Economy is bad…Blame Barack Obama.
- McCAin was a POW….Well this one is a stretch

But bottom line, it's funny how EVERYTHING negative is suddenly tied to Barack Obama. Is this the best that the GOP can do??

this headline is irresponsible journalism. very misleading.

Mr. Deregulatin, McCain is a phony and a fake. Wake up America.

"did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim."

GOP making things up again?? SHOCKING!

This is stupid! Of course CNN won't show this comment, but give me a break. When are you going to wake up and realize you are being played like a pawn by the McCain camp!

Well, with the economy in turmoil, here the McCain camp is again, not so subtly trying to make it look like Barack is dissing Hillary and through her all women.

In case nobody noticed, Hillary does not respond to pressure very well. Give me a break – Hillary was being set up to have Sarah Palin use her as a media stunt. Hillary did the right thing.

How much you wanna bet the first impromptu question to Sara Palin was planted? We will all hear soon that the reporter was given the question to ask. Otherwise how come ONLY 1 questions is asked and that it is the hottest topic of the day AND she has such a text book answer. Coincidence? I think NOT.

THINK THINK THINK America!

Why rely on facts when the McCain campaign can come out with a juicy lie?
CNN and everyone else, call them on this. Why are they being allowed to come out with such extreme lies without any sources or doucmentation?

Hillary's a big girl, she can and will speak for herself. Unlike Sarah who has to speak when she is told.

Obama/Biden 08

More lies. Stop already.

Palin said Wednesday that Obama launched an "unfair attack on the verbiage that Sen. McCain chose."
This will sound personal but I have to express an outrage! Palin needs to get her head out of McCain’s @$$. This has nothing to do with “choice of words” or gaffes but more of a mindset and McCain needs to be called on it.
In January at a GOP debate he said Americans are better of than they were 8 years ago. He has also bragged to being fundamentally a deregulator. On the mortgage crisis he warned against excessive government intervention.
Should we just let it slide and say this poor POW is having always having a tough time with his choice of words?

Yo Gramps! This isn't Saturday Night Live! I'm sure your Rovian advisors would love to include Hillary in a photo op with Caribou Barbie. AIN'T HAPPENIN'!

I will wait for their sources. If none are forthcoming then it was just someone trying to invent a story.

I think Barbra Streisand is right with her warning to John McCain that women are not stupid – I think it is an insult to the intelligence of women to believe that we will vote for a candidate only because they are a woman.

I guarantee you that a man with similar credentials as Sarah Palin would not have been chosen.

This is getting so GD ridiculous…can we stop the name calling and back and forth and talk about the issues already? We're on the brink of the modern fall of Rome and this is what McCain is talking about. No wonder why other countries look at us and laugh!

McCain, who do you think you are? The nerve! you are not running the Obama Campaign, take care of your affairs and leave Obama alone.

Trust me… This McCain’s campaign simply like controversy..

McCain should be deeply ashamed

Sen. Clinton made that decision on her own. This is nothing but a stunt the McLame camp is trying to pull to steer attention away from the economy issue. It won't work dummies.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

key words: "– but did not provide reporters any evidence to back up the claim."

LIE LIE LIE LIE your way to the white house….you are losing your credibility McCain…

Once again, the McCain camp trying to stir up "articifical controversy".

It's funny how everytime something "negative" happens to the GOP, they always find a way to tie it back to Barack Obama…

Seems like GOLDFART needs to get his story straight…they won't respond to CNNs request for a source because there isn't one….liars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knew McCain was a just an old dishonorable liar?
Thing is I really feel sorry for him. He traded his maverick and soul to the RNC. Do you see him address the small crowds? He looked like he wanted to cry when he was on Morning Joe yesterday. He deserves it though.
