John McCain IS the one who started all this negative, devisive campagaining now - he wants to flip/flop and turn it around. Well I guess Obama is not a terriorist this week, or maybe this week he might not be a pal of Bill Ayers. "MY FRIENDS" John McCain is too erratic and un-stable. He changes his message and attacks every day. This man is not of sound mind and thought.

Senator McCain, I thought that you WERE running the campaign that you wanted to run. You know the whole "Country First" as long as you belong to the Republican party and or willing to vote for me, put Sarah Palin on the stump to stir up the uneducated, backwoods folks to stoke the flames of racism and divide, and show no respect whatsoever to your opponent…you know that platform…what happened?

Nearly two years ago, Barack Obama launched a campaign where the platform was "Change". Nearly two years later, the platform is the same, the message is the SAME. "My friends" to the "right" will disagree, and that's fine, but there's something to be said and respected about a steady and consistent leader and message.

Obama/Biden '08

So I understand that Senator McCain knows the following:

1. He knows how to win a war.
2. He knows how to fix the economy.
3. He knows where Bin Laden is.
4. He knows how to get Bin Laden.

There have been others, but they escape me right now.

He seems to "know" how to do all of these things and yet hasn't done a one of them while he was in Washington for the eternity that he has been there. It would seem to me that if he was a "Maverick" then he would have stood up and accomplished the above. I would almost think it is worse that he has done nothing but push for war, war, and more war.

He's old and tired. I guess we can forgive him for being tired and not thinking clearly. Come on John McCain, if you really want to do what's best for the country, step aside. Oh, and take the biggest mistake of your life (Sarah Palin) with you and let her slide back to Alaska where she can keep an eye on Russia.

Oh, one more thing, I am not "your friend" Mr. McCain.

How does McCain expect to whip Barack's donkey this time around when he has already failed miserably in the previous two outings?

Didn't he say much the same thing last time around when he said the gloves were coming off?

Yes, McCain's turnaround starts today, right after Obama outlines his new economic plan. The McCain can steal it and say it is is own….what a joke….

Obama '08

in the words of any teenagers, "whatever".

Mccain and palin scares me I dont think the have America's best
interest at heart but their own interest. From what I have seen and heard from them it all about deviding this country not uniting it.
To much nasty campaigning now I just dont want to hear anything
else from them and I dont want to see another one of their sicken
commerical.
I dont trust either one of these people and I want vote for them either.
No way no how!!!!

I have my absentee ballot right in front of me now.

Thanks, Mr. McCain, for convincing me to mark the "Obama" bubble!

It's too late, baby, now it's too late!

John… you have the same problem that Hillary had- you can NOT attack the half black candidate in any way or you will be accused of racism.

HE, on the other hand can be guilty of fraud, deception, flip-flops, dubious connections and can even race-bait freely without any criticism of his tactics.

The media is not being objective. Hillary was mocked, heckeled, jeered and trashed and no one said anything. Palin is being trashed and no one denounces it.

But Obama can not be criticized nor lampooned nor caricatured or it will be denounced as hateful divisive racism.

Welcome to the NEW world. The Amerika we have been waiting for.

"The Republican presidential candidate will "speak directly to people's fears""

Now that's an understatement. He's been playing on people's fears since he started.

mccains only hope is to send his pig with lipstick home to alaska and start over. watching her speech yesterday and then watching hillary and joe was sad to me. poor mccain has a 5th grader speaking about good guys vrses bad guys and they are the two that know the difference while hillary and joe spoke of our future and what obama was going to do to get our nation back on her feet. palins was sickning and hillary and joes made tears come to my eyes. they were almost spiritual.
mccain should step aside for the sake of the american people. it's over johnny boy yes sir re!!

I am still trying to figure out where he gets the impression that Obama thinks he has this thing in the bag, that he is measuring the drapes in the white house. As I see it, Obama still treats this like he is the underdog and those of us that support him need to do the same.

Phantom of the Oprah - If you seriously think that racism has not reared its ugly head, then you really need to check the media coverage of some of McCain's rallies, especially of those in line waiting to get in who have called Obama all kinds of racial slurs. One guy over the weekend showed up with a monkey that had an Obama sticker on it and he made some horrible comments about Obama. I would suggest you wake up and realize what is really going on.

This just in: McCain pledges to turn his campaign around 360 degrees and get back on the right track!

"The Cosmos & MCCAIN Rocks!!" I have a white hood in the boot of my car, I guess you'll need it!

A wise person once told me.."you can NOT TALK your way out of a situation you have ACTED yourself into."..in other words, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS..and McCain-Palin are acting erratic, confused and almost to the point of hysterical. The American people are too smart to believe that SUDDENLY they have seen the light, and now have a plan for America's future.

Still no mention of acorn or voter fraud in OH. If people only knew!!!!!!

It's about time. I guess John McCain is starting to get the message the "Old politics of the late 50s and 60s are NOT as effective today.
Which points to another example of how John McCain is OUT OF TOUCH. John McCain WAS once a man that honored and repected NOW I am disgusted with him. This man is no "Maverick". Maverick always take the "high" road and beat their opponent "fair and square" not "dirty, under-handedly, dis-honestly. John McCain should be ashamed of himself.

McCain's turnaround will happen at McDonald's as Palin takes the first bite from the new McMaverick Burger made up of those unknown meats 70% of Americans won't eat.

I contacted over 200 American Legion members to over the weekend and I spoke on average 5 to 15 minutes what I found out only 8% says that they are planing to vote for McCain. The other 92% said that they feel that Senator Obama supported the troops in good time and bad.. However, McCain have not really supported the Vets nor the Active duty personnel.

Why don't Senator McCain Support our troops?

Obama is a show, in my opinion he only wants in the white house to make history. It would be a big step up…dont beleive it then why does have the big celebs like Oprah backing him? Its a show and he wants to be in charge so he will get all the praise from the african american community. He is half white though

You have been running for over a year and your gonna turn it around with 3 weeks to go?

1st your running mate get Booed off the ice what start

Buy the way WAY TO GO FLYERS FANS! You didn't fall for the charade from the Flyers owner Ed Snyder that she is just a hockey mom. This was an open campaign stop, staged by a guy who is actively supporting the McCain/MILF 08 ticket.

Whatever he does in his private life is fine, and to be comended, but to force her on the paying fans was a disgrace.

And, a side note, this was I believe the first actual non-scripted appearance that she has made. Quite a different reaction when it isn't a packed home crowd.

This story got national recognition. I did read in another publication that Palin's handlers knew it might turn out bad for her, so they decided to have Willow and Piper come along. Surely, Philadelphia sports fans wouldn't boo their mom infront of her little girls, right? Another McCain miscalculation.

The turn around starts today……..Is that right John? You must think that the american people are really stupid! Are we to believe that with 22DAYS LEFT, you suddenly have seen the light and will share your repair of the economy with us??????????????? Give us a break John! You are done! You are a has been! It's a little too late John. You figured out that the smear patrol can"t help you, so you finally want to talk about the issues? I thought Bush was dumb, but boy, you are a close second! NoOne wants four more years of George Bush, and that's all we will have with you. Wal Mart called……….they have a job for you as a door greeter!

»A new AMERICAN leader in the White House with a ARABIC(!!) NAME(!!)?!?!??! How SAD is this?!?! WAKE UP AMERICANS!! This is NOT Indonesia ! This is USA!!

McCAIN IS TOO OLD TO BE PRESIDENT.TOO BAD TEMPERED TO BE TRUSTED.HE IS NO GOOD FOR POTUS.WRONG/BAD JUDGEMENT IN PICKING SARAH FOOL PALIN.ZILCH,ZERO

OBAMA/BIDEN

Round and round, round and round. Save it John, we're tired of turning around, we voting for Barack for stability.

Barack/Biden 08

A major turnaround…which turn??? the negative character attack or I am the big bad wolf.??? Huh! how many turns, has there been, let's see?

Presidential Hopeful McCain: I know long just give respect anymore. Respect is something you get when given. There has not been one ounce of RESPECT given to the American People from the Stand Point of the CLINTONS and GORES and with these people ridding OBAMA's skirt and HIM letting them to lead him to presidency. I feel the lack of respect may keep him from winding up like VINCE FOSTER and Biden running this country with his PILLOW TALKER HILLARY Clinton…. Yes, to me RESPECT IS SOMETHING SOME FOLKS JUST HAVE TO EARN…..

"After I whip his you-know-what in this debate, we're going to be going out 24/7," the Republican nominee told volunteers at his campaign headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, sparking laughter and applause from the group.

Here's a little advice John. You shouldn't use the word "whip" when referring to a black man. You obviously do not proof read what is scripted for you. Who told you to say something that ignorant? It must have been that "ABUSE OF POWER" VP selection of yours.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

I see some paranoia in the McStains campaign, a little too late to FIX IT , MY FRIENDS,, turn around, turn off, turn down..

Shout out to: The Cosmos & MCCAIN Rocks!!

Do you get paid by the post or what? How much do bloggers get paid by the RNC? You know, with this crappy economy, I would do your job. But I just care too much about the future of The United States

I recently got my 401k statement and I lost very little money. I think people are panicing like after 911 with all that duct tape. I will not be paniced into voting for Barack Obama. I feel he has very little foreign policy experience and could hurt our country.

Too little and too late for a turn around. Mud slinging by surrogates while McCain pretends to take the high road isn't working. Palin has been an ineffective running mate because she can't reach out beyond core supporters.

I love some of the economic ideas that John McCain wants to put forward. They are original and fresh. Even Obama admitted that John McCains idea on seniors not having to take their Required Minimum Distributions this year is great.

I am a retirement specialist and I have had so many seniors who are fretting because not only do they have to take their RMD at a lower rate (since prices in stockmarket are way down) but then they must declare this money as income and pay taxes on it. So believe me when I tell you…this is a good sound plan.

I also think that helping homeowners (those who were sincerely qualified to own the home) refinance their sub-prime mortages is something that has merit and should be looked at closely.

I honestly believe that people need to stop the fingerpointing because there is certainly enough blame to go around. The democrats did nothing during the last 2 years to try and solve this problem. In fact they condoned it by saying Fannie and Freddie were just fine. Bill Clinton said that the dems were just as responsible.

Let's keep the conversation going in a positive way.

Please CNN print my comments and stop taking them out!

Another week, another gimmick.

I bet he goes back to harsh partisan attacks after this week when "startin anew" doesn't work.

Sorry McCain, you're just too erratic for me and your VP is a menace.

It is really a shame that people cannot see the real reason why this country is in the mess it is in. It is because of the Bush administration. It was wrong, from the very beginning, when the Supreme Court put him in office. I really cannot understand the OLD veterans who follow what they are told by their " leaders " like a bunch of sheep just because he was in the military and was taken prisoner. Yes, this was a very bad thing to have happened to him but it does not entitle him to be POTUS. The women who think Palin is the answer because she has 5 children. Let me tell you, getting pregnant is easy but being a REAL mother is the hardest job in the world. REAL mothers do not exploit their children to feed their ego. THEY SHOW THEM HOW TO BE GOOD CITIZENS BY SHOWING GOOD EXAMPLES. Does Palin do this ?? I think not.

Obama/Biden 2008

All you have been doing is turning around up and down, back and forth. You and palin have lost all direction. And our country can not be trusted in the hands of someone that hasn't got it together and doesn't have a clear vision. One step forward and 20 steps backward won't cut it. we need a leader that no matter how small their steps mights be, at least they keeep going in the same direction. One that leads us to a better tomorrow. Obama has that vision, and he has a wonderful level headed lady by his side, and a VP that knows the score.

EPIC FAIL

ah ah ah ah you'll whip Obama in the 3rd debate lol the first 2 debates where you asleep? now you'll whip him how stupid can you be. and by the way stop calling people my friends please give me a break.
Obama will whip your behind.
Obama/Biden 08

Turnaround no problem with that, if Palin back to the Russian coast..

White candidates who lead in the polls end up losing elections all the time—
Al Gore
John Kerry

Why is it racism and why does it have a special name (Bradley effect) when the same thing happens to black candidates?

The media is dangerously stirring up racial tensions where none exist. That bias is dangerous for the country

That sounds about right. Usually when you hit a brick wall, you have to turn around. Unfortunately for John it's too little too late.

My vote is going to Barack Obama and NOTHING will turn that around. Sorry Senator McCain, I'm voting for THAT ONE, the one in the other party.

Obama/Biden 08

To McCain and Palin,

I and hundreds of thousands of law abiding and peace loving people like me, ARE GOING HOLD McCAIN AND PALIN ACCOUNTABLE for any negative consequence of the hatred and negative sentiment that you both have been instigating! I can understand if you critisize your opponents on the issues but the fact that Palin who calls her self a christian has spent 100% of her time invoking violence against Obama is beyong my comprehention and imagination! How can someone who hopes to lead USA be so negative and evil, telling blantant LIES daily? Why is McCain and many highranking Republicans not publicly denouncing Palin? Have you people forgoten past historical events? WAKE UP PEOPLE, THE WORST CRIME IS THE SILENCE OF THE OBSERVERS ("GOOD PEOPLE")!!

JeffRob:

You are not seriously calling John McCain a racist because he said "I will whip his butt". That is as bad as calling Bill Clinton a racist when he said this whole thing is a fairy tale.

Neither comment is racially motivated and if you were an adult and had an open mind you wouldn't allow yourself to believe that every word someone says is racial.

If that were the case that Obama could be called a racist when he said.."I don't look like the guys on the currency". That could be conceived as racial. I know it wasn't!!!

Stop spreading hatred, we have enough problems without adding a race war into things.

At this point, does anyone really believe that he is going to change people's minds?

Remember the old saying, "actions speak louder than words"? Well, we have seen both candidates in action with the economic melt-down and I choose a calm, cool, problem-solver over an erratic person who can't make up their mind and flails all over the place and then tells me that my financial status doesn't matter as much as his distractions.

Then there is the VP candidates…a choice between a constitutional law professor who is a "regular Joe" or a hockey mom with an abuse of power ethics violation that has never read the constitution.

Sorry, Mr. McCain, like the majority of the country, I am smarter than you think and my mind is made up — you can't change it now.

On the "Tom Joyner" show today they played McCain?palin tearing in on Obama and then at the end it said McCain is changing his tune and they played a very popualr soul song dedicated to McCain called. " Smiling faces tell lies, smiling faces smiling faces tell lies and thats the TRUTH.

Sing that song everytime McCAin talks and then still has snear advertising. He is a lier

really?

Why does your pollng map show Barrack up by 12 points in VA, yet your electoral college maps shows it as a "toss-up"?

There have been so many turns in your campaign already John. It really does not matter what you do at this point because you have shown you do not have any real intelligence and leadership. You have shown it over and over and over. You have shown your true character also with the ridiculous attacks and now you want to pretend you didn't lie to us about a thousand times to our faces. Here is a little clue for you. We have something called the internet. On that thing there are things called youtube and factcheckers. You have a red balance in my trust account so you can just go away and try to pretend you still have some dignity. I will be voting for change and so will all of my friends. Obama/Biden

Let Lindsay Graham explain, the country is going to hell in a hand basket and John McSenile is going on David Letterman show, is this country first.I voted early and VOTED OBAMA/BIDEN.If Indiana is to stupid this year to vote blue, I will move to a smarter state.
Connie from Indiana

I hope "Turn Around" means a turn away from the lies and hatred that permeated the Republican rallies last week.

Turn Around My Foot. You mean they have come up with a lie to try and sell the American people in order to get into the White House. I don't know about rest of America but after watching some the Hate Debate Stomps that McCain/Palin has done within the past week was just sickening.

People want to bring up Rev Wright w/ the Obama situation but the thing people fail to see is that Palin allowed for the destructive comments at her rally. Obama was not there when Wright made those remarks but he denounced them and gave a speech on television. Cmon Haters.

There he goes, changing his campaign again. How many versions is it going to take before he get's it right. For a senior politician with all that experience he sure is flailing around alot. This is a clear example of how he'll run the country. One idea one day and 180 degrees the next.

I would like my opinions posted please lol……….we all have the same rights you know lol………..I'm tired of being moderated lol on every issue I comment about lol…….c'mon get with the program………who are you supporting? McCain and Palin? lol……..

McCain has nowhere to go but down… Troopergate Palin was a HUGE mistake…. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

TOO LATE JOHN!!!!!!! AND CNN, you are getting so conservative in all of your articles-both on TV and here. What is going on? Trying to compete with FOX? More and more are leaving here for MSNBC. You might want to think about why that is!? You are giving McCain so much coverage it is ridiculous. I think maybe you are upset you aren't getting interviews with Palin? Is that it?? They are through - McCain and Palin are unethical and have nothing to offer this country.

"Turnaround starts today"

Sounds more like it's just this week's desperate attempt at confusing/tricking people into thinking McCain belongs in the White House…which he most certainly does not.

Just go home McCain, your time is over and myself and millions of others are thankful for that.

»AMERICANS in WISCONSIN!!IN OHIO!IN VIRGINIA!IN COLORADO!In NORTH-CAROLINA!In INDIANA!In WEST-VIRGINIA! Etc…Etc…»WAKE UP!»» The GREAT man JOHN MCCAIN is the RIGHT MAN for YOU!!!

TIME AND TIDE WAIT ON NO MAN. JOHN MCCAIN HAS BEEN CHANGING HIS TUNE FROM DAY TO DAY AND IS RUNNING OUT OF DANCE PARTNERS.TIME IS RUNNING OUT ON JOHN MCCAIN AND SUNSET IS FAST APPROACHING FOR THE ELECTIONS,LIFE,AND HONESTY.

Did not work for Hillary John!

I was proud of you finally stepping up against the negative and dishonorable type of comments made by your running mate.

**I cannot vote with Palin on the ticket. She scares me.

Its amazes me when i hear SJM talk about he knows HOW TO WIN WARS!, KNOWS HOW TO TURN THE ECONOMY AROUND!! Can someone pls ask him which war did he win? and which economy has he ever turned around? America has never been into any such economic crisis before…The two wars he has been actively involved in was never won….What is S JMac talking about? He know how to do it…?
Obama on the other hand has always offer proven solutions… which both RNC and DEM analyst have always found applicable and right…the only thing they dont like about Obama/Biden's policies are the taxes and the reason is obvious …most of them make more than $250,000.00 a year..

What ever McCain does from this point on does not change a thing. His past record in the senate plus this campaign just can't disappear.
His choice of Palin can't just disappear, he may try a new 'clean' campaign approach but the damage is done. He has more 'flip' than Flipper.

Does CNN ever allow any comments that support an opposing view on their blog?!?!?!?!?!? Pretty biased if you ask me!!!!!

All the candidates in the democratic primaries were DEMOCRATS- yet AAs all ended up voting for one candidate- the half black one.

Roland Martin and other AA pundits claiming that AAs ALWAYS vote democrat are ONLY looking at the GE. What was the reason during the primaries?

OH…and…Is it the Bradley effect when John Kerry and Al Gore lost the GEs even with bigger leads in the polls than Obama has?

Looks like the pro-Obama media is looking to fan the flames of racial tension by their race-baiting biased reporting.

"Turnaround"? You mean he's going to run an honest, respectful campaign for once? Yeah right?

As much as I want to be angry with him for the past week's despicable, vile hate-mongering, whenever McCain talks like this, I can't help but pity him.

Go home, John. You deserve the rest. Leave the future to us.

I spent money supporting you Mr. McCain….I should have went to the slot machines instead.

You need to stop the hateful rhetoric spewing from your #2. VERY Un-American.

If this is an example of how he will run this Country then no wonder your behind in the polls. He has no plans, no vision for this country. He is just trying anything he can to win which is not enough for me because I want a real plan not pandering.Which is what Barack has to offer. He and that women has divided this country and has caused vandalism with their evil rhetoric in some States. This Country is in deep doo doo to put it frankly and I have been sickened by watching this character and his lynch women putting on a show for the past two weeks. They have proven to us that they could care less about what's happening to this country by focusing on unimportant things that mean nothing to us in a time of crisis. They really are out of touch and don't know that we wouldn't respond to such trivia as Ayres. I am done with these CLOWNS and no matter what he say's now it's just another LIE to add to the many he has tried to sell to the American people. Palin is an abuser of authority which represents Bush tactics, I nor my family will ever vote for these nut jobs.

Three weeks to election day…guess it is time to try something new?
Looks like they are trying to make news but the problem is all their news is bad.
First, they encourage rage and hate at their rallies, now McCain is soft and forgiving. What are all of these ideas he has been holding on to? Why is that most of them sound as if they were taken from someone else?

Sorry, Senator, your goods are way too damaged now. In choosing, a completely unqualified poser as a running mate, you have potentially put this country in severe danger. Your judgment is bad and cannot be forgiven.

Sorry, right wingers, you still have nothing. Tax hikes, Ayers, ACORN, it's nothing but mud you keep throwing hoping something will stick.

List for obama Acorn of people that is illegal to register to vote during any election

1-dead people(zombies)
2-illegal alien (yes little green people to)
3-criminals ( person w/a criminal record)
4-fictional characters (mama joe or papa joe)
5-cartoon characters (mickey mouse , scooby doo)
6- super heroes (superman , spider man , ironman)
7- new people ( babies , children , not of age to vote)
8-crazy people ( a person w/ mental problems)
9- and many other reasons

personal comment: if McCain losses this election is because obamas fraud machine Acorn.

Palin keeps saying she is not guilty of wrong doing? Is this what we want in the White House, some one that doesn't know Right from Wrong when it comes to ethics…….When this election is over I will bet that the Republicans will admit that they lost this election because of Sarah Palin.

I just got religious. Four more years of disaster please God help us.

New McCain stump: 'We've got them just where we want them'

LOL!! The Cubs have the Dodgers just where they want them too!

Is it the Bradley effect when John Kerry and Al Gore lost the GEs even with bigger leads in the polls than Obama has?

Looks like the pro-Obama media is looking to fan the flames of racial tension by their race-baiting biased reporting.

For the first time in my adult life, I dread election day. No matter the outcome it will be a scary day. I think there will be riots, whether it is jubilation or defeat.

I may be seen as a radical right extremist, by most of the liberal left, but so be it. However, I feel that the basic Christian principles that our country was founded on are in jeopardy of being lost forever. Once that is done it will unleash a Pandora’s box of legalized, or even legislated behavior or life styles that are contrary to Christian values. As a minister it is my belief that if we vote in such a way as to allow at will abortions, and gay marriage, then in the long run it will not matter what the state of our economy is, or our standing among the global community. We will have taken the path of least resistance and sacrificed what is right for what is convenient and most expedient.

Any minute now, I'll be time to rally the troops with some shuffleboard, and the Hokie Pokie!

»This is USAMERICA! This is NOT Indonesia! WAKE UP AMERICANS!!» A new AMERICAN President with a ARABIC(!!) NAME(!!)?!??! Is everyone GOING NUTS Right now in USA or what?!??!?! JOHN MCCAIN =aTRUE AMERICAN HEROE/PATRIOT=the RIGHT man for the WHITE HOUSE! WAKE UP AMERICA!»» "CHANGE"?!??!? For what?!??! SAD people!

CNN will surely post anything about McCain ill hearted attempt to talk about a subject he knows nothing about. CNN is GARB^AGE! They are so in the tank for McCain its pathetic. McCain is clueless just like his running mate, go figure and now with 22 days left he wants to talk about the economy. Did grandpa just wake from his nap?

I love some of the economic ideas that John McCain wants to put forward. They are original and fresh. Even Obama admitted that John McCains idea on seniors not having to take their Required Minimum Distributions this year is great.

I am a retirement specialist and I have had so many seniors who are fretting because not only do they have to take their RMD at a lower rate (since prices in stockmarket are way down) but then they must declare this money as income and pay taxes on it.

In fact they condoned it by saying Fannie and Freddie were just fine. Bill Clinton said that the dems were just as responsible.

Let's keep the conversation going in a positive way.

Please CNN print my comments

I live in rural West Tennessee. Our area has been hard hit with job losses. Our county's industrial park looks like a ghost town. YES!! Create jobs here! Do what has to be done…..Forget Senator Obama's "No Tax Breaks for Big Business" mantra….If there was a chance of a "big business" building a plant or facility that would provide hundreds or thousands of jobs and millions of dollars in revenue yearly for this area, EVERYONE would be in favor of providing a favorable tax scenario for them to do business here. If I found out that we lost an opportunuty to have a major corporation do business in this impoverished area because of Senator Obama's "No Tax Breaks for Big Business" policy…well, you best believe I would be angry!!! Can Obama honestly stand by that mantra? Let him say he would! Let him publicly state that he would NOT provide tax incentives for major corporations to build all the new energy plants he proposes, or to automakers to build more hybrid car facilities, or to contractors to build all the bridges and road projects he proposes….then sit back and see how much he drops in CNN's polls! COME ON!!!! Senator McCain knows how to get things done. He knows how to be honest and not bother with political spin. He's the Real Deal.

Mccain is a real man with real ideas. He cannot be blamed for the mistakes bush has made. He definetly has my vote. Before you go and make the mistake of voting for a community organizer with no military experience you might want to think long and hard. Mr. Hussein is a show and he wants his wife and himself to make history thats all his whole campaign has been a show..Oprah…R Simmons…list goes on and on. Get real America and wake up!!!

Oh my lord, how many "turn-arounds" is Sen. MccAin going to have? Same tired, old story from the same tired, old man my friends.

Doesn't he understand that each time he does this it appears…. like he's "lost it" a little bit more?

I'm starting to feel bad for the guy. His wife needs to sit him down and have a heart-to-heart with him and clue him in.

Can you imagine how embaressed his campaign people must be? They've got to sell this garbage to the people. Poor, poor Sen. Mccain… I'm thinking we are better off with G.W. & Dick than these two "mavericks."

Sarah was quite attractive during the first few days after her selection… now, she's not quite so attractive. Isn't that weird? It all has to do with getting to know someone. She has become… ugly.

Well, turn-around and around and around and around John & Sarah… we'll be done with this nonsense is three weeks and not have to listen to politics for another two years (thanks be!)

Everyone should realize by now that anything McCain comes up with is just another political stunt to deceive the American People. It is amazing how McCain and Palin are playing with the intelligence of the people. Palin stood and said she was cleared of an unethical doing in troopgate. However according to the report that came out everywhere execept on Fox News, she did indeed is broken ethical rules.

Obama/Biden 08

I am glad that the John McCain I always respected showed up last week, unlike that racist Palin.

Great job, John!

**I still cannot vote for you with Palin on the ticket. I was part of the Palin protest in Pittsburgh. I never protested anything in my life until she said the comment about Senator Obama 'Paling around with Terroritst.'. She needs to look in the mirror at herself!

Senator McCain, don't forget references like: Muslim, Terrorist, and any way to convince many of your voters that a bi-racial (or black) man who is more educated than you is a cause for concern.

John McCain & Palin are merely surviving because of the ignorance, isolationism, and prejudices of many within their electorate.

His campaign events are starting to resemble more and more the KKK rallies of the 1940-50s.

The GOP and McCain campaign treat Palin like a secretary, a farcical big windbag of hot air in a pretty package. While it becomes more and more apparent that McCain is truly mentally and physically in decline, it's also clear that the only person who world leaders would respect even less than McCain is windbag Palin.

Dear John,

I am very surprised you did not realize you have been applying for the position of President of the United States for the past two (2) years therefore, to think that the effort starts in ernest today has your prospective employers (WE THE PEOPLE !) scratching our heads in amazement.

I must inform you that you are being judged not only by these remaining 3 weeks but by the overall campaign you have run for the past 2 years as clearly, beyond all the words and talking points, that truly is what we the people have to review your performance.

Sincerely,
We the People

Hmmm…isn't this a bit like closing the barn door after the horse has run off? The McCain camp has shown its' true colors the past weeks: vitriol from Ms. Palin & slogans from Senator McCain: a recipe for ruin at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

I guess he fired his "Karl Rovians" over the weekend ,since the tactic of attacking Obama didn't work. Now he thinks logical, realistic Americans really believe he has a plan to save us all?

Americans aren't that stupid Mr. McCain!

Please - just go away and leave the mess your Republicans created to an intelligent man who might just be able to make things better instead of far worse!

Obama/Biden 08

Sky, you nailed it.

For McCain to come yet again with a new message really stinks. Hasn't McCain been saying all along his message was right?

So glad to hear this is coming. His campaign events have had all the charm of a Klan meeting up until now…..

I hope we're on to the "losing gracefully" phase of McCain's campaign. I'm really not interested in hearing another two weeks of Palin flinging around baseless accusations and McCain destroying whatever reputation he has left, and somehow I doubt inflaming the racist and ignorant Republican base will improve anything about our current financial and cultural crisis. Country first means country first, John. Be a man for once instead of a spoiled brat.

mcCain get rid of the moose and get someone who has morals that both of you don't have. Palin want people to believe she is a trustworthy person but how can you if she lied to everyone. That was a secret that you carried for months and now that is it on the table you people to forget how she operate.

One question to you McCain? When you finish your first term as President as you stated you will leave the office, How and who do you think wants Sarah and Todd Palin running the country. Sarah will vote for Todd to be VP because he ran Alaska and knows how to get things tone.

Now people do you want Sarah and Todd Palin runnig the USA together if so then vote for McSane.

»JOHN MCCAIN=a TRUE AMERICAN HEROE/PATRIOT withOUT a ARABIC(!!) NAME(!!)! Get it?!?!

More erratic behavior..behind now so let change///what kind of steady hand and leadership is that.
Guess this new plan for the middle calss is like his secret plan to catch binLaden where he has said he knows how to do it…but is not telling anyone…what an idiot.

Another turnaround ??….so what else is new…..McCain's campaign has been turning and spinning for months !! Good luck !!!

Mccain 08

Too funny. Thanks for the morning humor John.
That worked out pretty well for you to release the info about Palin being found guilty of ethics violations late on a Friday night. You think?
Sorry Sarah, we read the weekend edition. You are a proven liar.
Obama

TALK ABOUT TURN-AROUND- HOW ABOUT GIVING SARAH PALIN A TURN-AROUND TICKET BACK TO ALASKA AND HAVE HER STAY THERE.
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR HER IN THIS GOVERNMENT
I ALWAYS THOUGHT MC CAIN WAS A DECENT PERSON UNTIL THIS CAMPAIGN, HE IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT HAS KILLED THIS COUNTRY- BUSH /ROVE POLITICS….
WE CANNOT AFFORD FOR THIS TO CONTINUE NO WAY NO HOW…

Mccain Recognized That Going Negative Was Not Helping Him In The Polls So He Is Going To Give Pandering Another Try! Im Expecting Him To Try Out A House Payment Holiday Or Something Along Those Lines!

My friend, you got a V.P. canidate who thinks she did'nt do anything wrong, other than abusing her power as a elected offical. So My friend your are just another voice in the wind.

Obama/Biden

»Between that IRRELEVANT,BORING Little man "JOE BIN or Biden or something" and the GORGEOUS,AMAZING,CLEVER SARAH PALIN who do you PREFER?!??! IT´s EASY!! MCCAIN/PALIN=OF COURSE.

He should save it for NOV 4th. Thats when the real turn around with take place!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08!

I wish McCain all the best but he's kinda late.
Obama has been consistent and will get my vote .

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC with a black husban.

Vote Bob Barr 2008

If Obama wins this election it will be a result of luck. If we had more choices and other candidates to choose from theres no way he would win end of story.

So happy to see the headline this morning: "Obama to lay out economic rescue plan".

It will be so nice to finally have a president who talks to Americans like adults. One who actually appreciates our intellect.

Oh, and Mr. McCain- don't think we didn't notice your little "I'm gonna whip him" remark. Racist.

Today is the, "TURNAROUND" day. Yeah, back to the drawing board.

»AMERICANS!»Are you 100% SURE you REALLY Want a new AMERICAN President withOUT relevant Political experience and with a ARABIC(!!) NAME(!!)?!?!? Are we in Indonesia or are we in USAMERICA?!?!??!?! WAKE UP AMERICANS!! Before it´s TOO LATE!!!

I think McCain and Palin are sniffing glue again.

They are going to loose.

"McCain surrogate Lindsey Graham said Sunday that the Republican nominee would unveil new proposals to "jump-start the nation's economy" over the final weeks of the presidential campaign, but the aide said there would be no new proposals on Monday."
——

No new proposals on Monday? Because you're waiting to see what Senator Obama says today so you can see how much of his message you can steal for yourself?

Folks did you noice that america has started bombing pakistan and afghanistan border ares?
They are trying to get Bin Laden, which they knew from the very begining where he is hiding, and just wating in time for 2008 election to give victory to republican.
I am sure they and Pakistani knew where he is, and did not McCain said he knows how to get Bin Laden.

Turnaround: Yes back to the OLD FOLKS HOME!!!!!
Caribeou Barbie: Back to Alaska.

I do not trust Rick Davis (who was paid by from Fannie/Freddie, Tucker: his reasoning does not make any sense).

Obama: Decent Human Being, a good husband, a good father and a good President for the United States of America.

A new day, a new strategy. Tomorrow, a new day, new strategy.

I still want to know about Sarah Palin's relationship with two ex AIP members who supposedly launched her career, one of whom she recommended for a seat on the Wasilla city council, as mayor. Why isn't the media covering her link with these "terrorists?" If she can spew about Obama and the Ayers of 40 years ago, she should be called out. Why is she getting the kidd glove treatment?

Another sign of McCain's desperaion…….why start the turnaround now with only 3 weeks left before we vote, he has been starting a new turnaround every week……first stopping his campaign to tackle the $700 bailout, then not going to show up for his debate, then Palin and McCain started going after Obama's and in doing so turned his rallies the ugliest and hateful and angryist I have ever seen, then he came out with his $300 billion buy out for Home owners (even the Republicans said wasn't a good plan) now he's going to turn this campaign around? To what? His plan to turn things around should be to drop Palin and put in a more respectable VP nominee.
Palin and her ABUSE OF POWER is the same stuff we have put up with for the last 8 years with Bush and Chaney……….do we want another person in office that will Abuse their POWERS……..Vote Obama for a Better American…….

Sarah Palin is a disgrace to women. I thought conservative women are smart and articulate. No wonder BAY BUCHANAN's candidates are losers. I feel sorry for Mitt Romney. Bay is depending Sarah Palin so that makes both of them an idiot!

Sarah Palin did abused her power how much more when she becomes VP. Worst than DICK!

22 DAYS BEFORE ELECTION DAY CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHO THE REAL SARAH PALIN IS AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR???????
SHE COULD BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT BY DEFAULT, SO I THINK THE QUESTION SHOULD BE WHO IS SHE?

IN ONE VOCIE LETS ASK WHO SARAH PALIN IS AND WHAT SHE STANDS FOR???????

NON OF THESE STUMP SPEACHES…….

Having seen Senator McCain revive his primary campaign, he's capable of pulling this off. His first step, though, should be to remove Sarah Palin from the ticket and replace her with someone qualified. Imagine how well his ticket would be doing if his running mate were Mitt Romney, not the Alaska Amateur.

you say the turnaround starts now..but saying it doesn't make it so. I don't want another 4 years of Republican policies, this country needs a change.

OK! This is the last straw! Give it up McCain–now you've really lost my vote. Long time Repub going Democrat!!!! Are you kidding me??? By the way, you threw me partially off the fence when you picked Palin as your running mate. Desperate acts make me sick!!! OBAMA 2008

Turnaround because no one is following. Mccain turn in your ticket and send Troopgate home. Give it up!

In other words, they realized the way they were doing things wasn't working, so they are changing their campaign, McCain Palin still stand for the same old narrow minded bigotted status quo they always stood for.

Obama will never see the white house with all of his radical friends. The hero McCain will be our next president. MCCain is by far the best candidate for president.

To Robert the Man:

I think $250,000 is actually a dream for many of us so don't look down on it.

So he says he's GOING to unveil his plan to jumpstart the economy — why not just DO it? Surely someone on his team knows how to send the plan to the newscasters so that it can be put on their websites (just like Obama's plan is). I always told my kids to not just SAY what they were going to do, but to back it up with ACTION — it is time for Senator McCain to back up his words with action. To wit: 'show us the beef'!

I honestly don't know how any educated person would want to attach themselves to the Republican ticket anymore. Seriously, we don't live in a black and white country, where you have to agree with EVERYTHING one party or another stands for, but Obama offers a return of decency, statesmanship, and respect to the American presidency.

McCain appears to have become the "Flip Flop Express". Rather than trying to turnaround his campaign, he should be focused on turning around the country. Unfortunately, McCain continues to try various tactics with neither much thought nor success and then moves to the next approach these days.

McCain's experience and good judgment led him to pick possibly the least experienced running mate in history. Now THAT'S good judgment.

LOL

Once again McBush is delusional. One would think he would be more concerned that his eskimo barbie VP has been exposed as a unethical and power abusing liar!!

Obama/Biden '08

How did he score in geometry?

A 360 degree turnaround! Ata boy John.

Turnaround? I'm suprised that McCain/Palin even know which way they are going. A carosel spins less than this campaign. If he would have said this a couple months ago maybe, but now. Too late sir. Go home and enjoy retirement.

8 Years ago I loved McCain, but he let GW walk all over him with the very same smears that we see against Obama today. He didn't fight for it then so why should I believe him now.

Do you hear that noise McCain? It's the growning avalanche that is about to bury you and your campaign on Nov. 4th.

tell me what's so different about Obama attacking McCain on "Last 8 Years" obviously scaring people to vote Democratic or against Bush. But If McCain says anything about Obama it's an attack. Obama has a yellow tape draped around his neck, and he's off limit to any kind of negativity. There is deffinately an erratic double standard in this Country. And there is a lot of people blinded by the Oblahma light!!!

yeah John turn around for u starts today…..ur going down in a landslide….hissss!!!

turnaround? again??? i'm getting motion sickness……what a disorganized and pathetic campaign!
OBAMA08!

John McCain wouldn't know how to straighten out anything - all he and Palin have are horrible, vicious attacks that do nothing but stir up hate and venom.
I will never vote for them….never!
John McCain is no longer an honorable man.

So, he's going to pretend the last few weeks never happened? Isn't that a sign of being, oh what's the word, crazy??

But what else should we expect…his running mate thinks that a report which clearly says she commited unethical acts somehow clears her from any wrong doing.

Please America…don't be fooled by McCain/Palin! They don't have any goals for us average people…only for themselves.

—-hey john,

i'm losing my house , can i have one of yours??!!!

Can't wait until 1-21-09. Then all this is on Obama's watch. Let's see how many promises get broken and how fast.

Jon:

Just read your post. If I didn't know better I would have thought Palin wrote it.

WHAT??????????????????????????

One word! Erratic.

Wow, McFossil finally woke up. Are we finally going to see something of substance come out of this campaign? They've finally run out of lies and smears. Unfortunately for John and his pitbull time has run out. For 26 years McCain has been part of the problem not the solution. Americans have had enough of republican rule over the last 8 years. The GOP is done in this election. McCain might have had a chance had he picked a real VP instead of airhead Barbie. This was the most pathetic and insulting republican ticket in the last 40 years and will surely go down as one of the most serious political suicides ever. For all his touting of his experience and leadeership McCain has not shown us much so far in his campaign. We seriously question his judgement. Time for change and YES WE CAN.
Obama/Biden 08

How many new directions is he going to take? McCain has told us that he knows how to, 1-win the war,2-get the economy up and running, 3-lower prices on food, 4-lower fuel prices, 5-better medical prices,6-catch Bin Laden, reduce global warming. Now with all this knowledge you would think I would vote for McCain/Palin. NO WAY WILL I VOTE FOR THIS PAIR OF LIARS.

Obama is delivering a major economic speech today that will outline specific plans to deal with the very real and serious problem of America's sustained economic strength.

McCain, on the other hand, is talking about curtains, attacks, and lies!

Americans, it is time to make a choice. Stop fooling around and stop second-guessing yourself…

VOTE FOR OBAMA-BIDEN!

Is this what a McCain presidency would be like? Floundering for months ineffectually, then "turning things around" after wasting time and money?

I'll go for Obama's low, steady progress, thanks.

This is what, the 4th time McCain has come out with something new. First his campaign was Country first, then they started using Obama's slogan. Then it was change, another Obama slogan. This man has changed his mind so many times I have lost track. John McCain is so out of touch, he's somehwere in the Andromeda galaxy when it comes to the issues in America. This man would totally destroy what is left of the U.S.of A. even worst than what Bush has. If Americans are that stupid to elect this fool and his Poodle with lipstick, then they deserve everything they get and the rest of us in this world will not feel a bit sympathetic towards you. You reap what you sow

Let me guess- he's going to start mimicking Obama. The president already has.

And McCain is going to whip Obama's butt (just like he did in the last 2 debates) ? Oh pleeeeeeeeeese! LOL.

Get real.

Senator McCain you proved last week that some of your supporters are illeterate, uninformed and racist. In ten years minorities will become majority in this country. Look at NURSING HOMES workers more than 50% are foreign born and look at the residents—most of them are white. SO GET REAL! AMERICA IS A "MELTING POT". We all came to this country from somewhere EXCEPT THE AMERICAN INDIAN. Please people know your history.

ANOTHER "twist" in his campaign. He is anything but a "steady hand on the tiller." We need calm, deliberate action, not this blowing in the wind, win-at-all-cost strategy.

turnaround and go back to arizona.

and take your stupid running mate with you.

22 days out and he has a "new" plan? What a joke. You REALLY are G. W. Bush the second. You have been a screw-up your whole life moved forward because of your influential familiy instead of any personal merits. Your presidential aspirations serve only your enormous ego.

Please, serve your country. Go home and get in bed. We will be a grateful nation. Maybe even build you a monument.

Well Senator!!!, thanks for closing the barn after the horse has bolted!!!..maybe you should have laid out your plans instead of giving racists, bigots and the generally ignorant, a voice at your rallies

It looks like Rezko, Ayers, Wright, Abortion, Guns are no where near the main issues affecting Americans as is their ability to put bread and tea on the table

According to every poll that's out there, Barack Obama is headed for victory on November 4th. While the McCain/Palin ticket thrashes about, resorting to Joe McCarthy-like tactics, Obama has led his organization to run one of the smartest, most compelling campaigns in U. S. history. Even staunchly Republican pundits admit to seeing the writing on the wall. But anything can happen in these last couple of weeks. What will happen in this country if we wake up on November 5th and turn on the television to see replays of Barack Obama's late night concession speech? How will our democracy and our citizenry be viewed by a world that had been expecting to see an enlightened America emerge from this contest? How will African-Americans and other people of color feel when they start hearing reports of voter fraud and disenfranchisement in key states? How will the Congress, which will be overwhelmingly democratic, feel about a President-elect who ran such a divisive campaign and his running mate who spent the last two months slurring so-called Washington "insiders"? What kind of turmoil and gridlock will this government be thrown into by this "maverick" who constantly claimed he could "reach across the aisle" but clearly hates everyone who sits there?

As long as it is Schmidt running the McCain Campaign Freakshow, he might as well prepare for a landslide Defeat in November.

You know, I have to say, that's sound like exactly what's he's been saying all along — and it's not working.

He can't lie his way to the White House, the American people are too smart for that!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08!

The turnaround has been happening already. Americans are taking our country back from the last eight years.

Obama/Biden '08

I was going to vote for McCain and Palin but they are running a campaign based on Obama's relationship with Ayer, Obama's leadership… we don't need that. We know he is qualified enough in order to run for President otherwise he will not be in this position right now. We need McCain to be himself again like he used to be. He is not going to win with this tactic. I will vote for Obama even I am registered as a Republican.

McCain you and your campaign are losing it

You have 'turned around' so many times the rest of us are getting dizzy just thinking about the last couple of weeks

Why don't you and Sarah just 'turn around' and go home

If past experience is a good indicator, McCain will dance around a lot, throw a fist jabs that miss the mark, and suffer round by round defeats. His tag team partner will again come out swinging, but offer only hot air.

McCain has already lost. He has no ideas, no plans, and definitely no charisma.

Turn around and go home.

Doesn't turning it around make you look more incompetent? Quit grasping at straws and just realize you are going to lose!

John just needs to take it to the (one of 13) house(s). See the country on a retiree car (one of how many 11 or so?) trip. Bye John. So sad to see a once great man so desperate now.

McCain you are a Day Late and a Dollar short…..Your campaign is all over the place……We turned around a long time ago along with the ECONOMY……..You are for this now and turn around later today you will change again…….You should have taken control of YOUR CAMPAIGN a long time ago……if this is your plan of how you will run this country it is sad and pathetic……You lost this campaign when you picked SP as your VP. And also why should OBAMA apologize for what Congressman Lewis said……..You go speak to him since you touted his name when you where in the south, as your friend. MY FRIEND you are probably a little too senior for this big task.

This is something McCain should have been doing months ago. Waiting until now does nothing for him. Despite what the media says, I'm sure there are very few "Undecided" voters, and even fewer of those who may be on the fence one way or the other.

Good luck John, you need it now. I've voted Republican in the past, but not this time. Republican's have abandoned what their party stands for. Obama has my vote.

Better late than never. Unfortunately it is way, way too late. Don't take Americans for idiot, my friend.

I wish you luck with that late U-turn. Nice of Sen. McCain to set that little old lady straight when she said she did not trust Obama because he was an Arab (at a town hall meeting). Young folks, please talk to your grandparents - they are misled by lies, propaganda and fear tactics!

Where is the real John McCain? McCain needs to lose for the following reasons. First, we must win our old John back. It breaks my heart to see what he has become. We must win his soul back from the Rovianites. Second, Obama is the hope that this country has always claimed that it was about. Where else in the world can a young man, who was poor, black, and with most odds against him become president. We do not realize that we are living out not just
