It's funny how this administration can hunt down and try to destroy a young American man out of billions of people- for hacking into Palins E-mail.

But they can't find the cave to hunt down Osama!

This Republican Administration is out of touch and against the average American citizen; they don't care about ordinary people.

You notice how honesty and genuine disagreement work with the Obama team. And how dare the McCain campaign jump on it and call it gutter politics when that is all the McCain campaign has been doing this whole election.

McCain campaign = dishonorable hypocrites!

McCain is not stuck in the 60's. McCain is limited in his ability to use a keyboard, because of injuries he sustained as a POW. It is painful for him to type... Plus in 2000, the New York Times wrote an article about how McCain was the most technilogical savy member of the Senate, and ahead of his time especially in internet fund raising.

This Ad was a lie, and made fun of McCains war injuries. That is truly shameful.

Still for Hill...love you have little room to talk about Ayers, Rezco or Fanny Mae....when John McCain has 169 LOBBYIST running his campaign, a ton of recycled Bush people running his campaign, shady connections with Mafia, affairs like the one with Vikki Isman, the lowell Paxson "favor", Keating 5-where McCain was forced to pay Keating over $13,000.00 for using his private jet and tropical vacation homes...i think Hill you should be more worried about Cindy Lou's $300,000.00 investment with the convicted Keating who stole the lives of thousands....after 26 years, all McCain has are attacks? what has McCain done in those years other than Keating 5?

Gee, you mean the Obama campaign is nothing new and lead by the nose by its handlers like any other? He is new/change(e) though as he seems to playing a little less dirty than the usual Chicago politics. Should continue to be interesting, seeing that he's actually running against someone this time (excepting the ludicrous) quest for the nomination.

So here you have the glaring difference between the two tickets.. one actually has a conscience while McCain has stooped to becoming (in the words of conservative commentator George Will) "un-Presidential".

"Sleazy gutter politics of Chicago"? – Congratulations McCain camp – I know you've given up on winning Illinois, but a lot of people with connections to Chicago live elsewhere. Our city runs like a top, and I can't recall the last time I saw a campaign here that contained half as many insults and insinuations as the one you're running nationally.
_____________________________
556,686 crimes since June 15, 2007-I don't think 1/2 a million crimes is really "running like a top". Chicago has more homicides than NYC or LA mostly due to gang violence. I guess Chicago needs BETTER COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS.

The inexperienced candidate is showing his true colors. LIES, not being an honest american polititian, talk is cheap just like his advertisements. Where do we go from here? On to believe he will suddenly LEARN on the JOB to TELL THE TRUTH? I doubt it and so does Biden. Time to PAY ATTENTION HERE.

Everything wrong with the current state of the nation will not magically be transformed by Obama and his fancy words and elitist attitude.

We need real leadership!!! Hillary would have been the choice, but since the Oprahbots stole the election from her, I refuse to vote for incompetency in the form of an Obama Presidency.

Count me as yet one more Hillary supporter voting for McCain!!!!

For those who are trying to spin this as him being honest. I would buy it if he did not come back 3 hours later and try to clean it up.

I think you Obamanites need to research his relationship with Mayor Dailey and Rezko a little more closely. You people that are voting for Obama have know idea who he really is. I'm afraid you are going to find out to late. Try finding out who he is for yourself instead of playing tv ad and network election. If something looks to good to be true, it probably is. The networks would have a better story if they researched and told the truth.

To April Garlow,

"Obama's campaign is the cruelest, most anti-woman and anti-family, that I have ever seen.The mean and disgusting remarks about Palin and her children, are something new and vile in the political arena"

Please April, provide one thing, just one, that the Obama campaign themselves have put out, that actually matches this description?
Not internet rumours or similar but what the Obama campaign actually put out.

That being said, both sides are currently engaged in BS ad making and trying to encourage the people to vote for the lesser of two evils right now.

And PS. "sleazy gutter politics of Chicago to our national stage"

This is great, all you see in these blogs now about McCain are his houses & PC illiteracy. Is this why you won't vote for him? Obama has terrorists that are good friends, attends anti-American hate sessions in church, hates when babies survive abortions and tries to kill them again...and thinks inflating tires will solve everythng. Isn't that a bit more disturbing? And the 'Bridge to Nowhere'...obama and biden both voted FOR it. Not only did they vote for it, they shot down an attempt to have the money diverted to LA so it could be put to good use. Do liberals know anything? McCain was one of only 4 people who voted against it & actually saw this banking disaster coming years ago & tried to fix it back then. Oh yeah, and obama helped get us into that disaster as well (check out the group 'ACORN' and the Research the Community Redevelopment Act).

First Biden took the high road and acknowledged that Obama ad was in hindsight a bad decision. I respected that honesty, and thought higher of Biden.

THEN, he demonstrates that he is willing to sell out his values and opinion for politics, by back tracking, and obviously lying about not seeing the ad, blah, blah, blah.

I think both campaigns should be ashamed of themselves for sinking so low, and acting like spoiled brats and privilages idiots. What about the issues.

I'm glad to hear Biden be honest at least when he was on T.V. anyway because what he said off screen will be washed out and people will only remember the interview and understand that Obama's campaign people are out of control. Hopefully Obama will be a leader this one time and tell his minions to back off, grow up, and take a chill pill

Also, when are they going to campaign together? It seems like there's no unity on the ticket. ------------------------------------------- Candidates usually campaign separately, in order to cover more ground. Palin/McCain only campaign together because Palin cannot be trusted out on her own, and no one will come to see McCain if he's out there alone. Pathetic, really.

Barry Hussein Obama made a huge mistake when he rejected Hillary (although better for her).

He's a liar and shoots from the hip – oh I forgot that's the requirement for a VP ie. Cheney!

Um...I think "can you use a computer" should be a pretty standard question for someone who is applying for a job which involves running an entire country. I don't care if they're 150 years old.
