CNN

Yeah...I'm excited!!! I think John McCain stepped up to the plate and stood his ground! Homerun Johnny!

thanks Candy..YOU BETCHA..we want FACTS and ISSUES..not the ramblings of this old man

alot of obama lovers posting here, all the real mccain fans are watching him own obama.... time to get smart and watch the debate and not wine

He's nit-picking and focusing on minutia– it's truly exhausting to watch. Very unfortunate for the republican party.

No one cares about ayers. McCain can keep hounding on that all he wants as he watches his ratings go down the tube. C'mon talk about somethign that matters for a change. And for heaven sakes, quit making those smirks and faces – that will NOT endear you to the AMerical public.

John McCain thinks his V.P. is "a BREAST of fresh air" too...funny. Please don't do this to us America!!!!!!

Who cares what Obama thinks of Ayers? I want to know what Ayers saw in Obama.

it's amazing how the only campaign that commended obama is when he accepted the nomination as the democratic presidential candidate on the day of martin luther king jr when he gave his speech, saying congratulations...and that was it

Took him longer because he's old and tired–his senior moments got in the way of getting to Ayers. Pointless.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Cindy, you are right. I don't care about Ayers. I care about keeping more of my tax dollars regardless of my income. And I care about government cutting spending not trying to "spread the wealth"

Thank you Candy and thank you Wes I love your comment!!!!!!!!!!!

And when it was plainly explained McCain went on to a completely different topic. He sounds like my uncle with dementia.

Check out PALINish.com!

when you have nothing of substance to say just attack mcain's motto

Barack looks so calm and unshakeable while McCain looks shaky and angry. I am having a hard time listening to McCain because his behavior is really strange. tense.

Does McCain know anything else. he doesn't know anything that my family needs.

McCain is acting like a complete goofball. Did he take some pills before he went on stage?

Why does he keep saying the campaign was born in Ayres living room. IT WAS NOT give that lie up and come up with something real or give it up!!!

Jeez Candy, make up your mind. A second ago you were saying it was a missed opportunity that he didn't bring up Ayers and now you're saying he should focus on the economy. Good thing you're not his debate coach.

Candy,

You just don't get it. America doens't want to hear about Ayers. We want to hear about the issues. And we want the media to focus on the issues.

mccain is smug and constantly interupts. if he is this arrogant with an American senator, imagine how smug he will be with foreign leaders. he has no tact.

Would McCain's anger and temper influence his policies? Hmmmmm. I say yes, that's why I'm not voting for him

Not from what I hear among folks. They are looking at reputation. They are looking for a reason to like or not like a candidate.

I loved Obama's answer, and I hope everyone will not shut up about Ayers and get back to the economy.

Obama spanked McCain on that

Exactly Candy. Is Bill Ayers going to help pay my mortgage or help put gas in my car. I think not.

Oil has almost nothing to do with power production! Nukes don't solve our dependency problem!

Fuel-efficient cars!

McCain is still stump spewing – drilling won't see any benefits until 2030!!

Boring...

McBush is all over the place and Obama is wiping the floor with him!! Great job President Obama, you are calm collected and actually answering the questions!!

Obama/Biden '08

McCain looks small... lashing out at Obama... every question. Obama is the grown up... again! Why is McCain so petty?

Obama won't throw the first punch

But he will certainly throw the last.

Obama/Biden '08 – No more wars for oil

Obama was 8 when Ayers did what he did. 8!!!!!!!! This is such a none issue....but of course the MSM and CNN need to keep bringing it up along with the McCain Campaign.

American Voters: What happened when you were 8?? Are you responsible for it? I don't think so...

CNN keeps turning off coments when so many start supporting obama, cant get in mccain remarks, obama is talking same ol same ol, i wonder who is holding his queue cards, mccain is bringing up very prudent issues

The problem is the way this issue is framed. No one cares about Bill Ayers probably except Bill Ayers.

I am an American female. Sarah Palin is not now nor will ever be a role model for how I live my life. If anything, she's the Anti-Role Model.

you're known by the people that you keep

Mccain – SCARY

Mc Cain is very out of touch.
People don't care about Ayers.
They care about their pochet.

Look how many people have killed them selves because of this economic crisis ?

Nobody talk about Ayers.

Mc Cain=Mc PAIN.

Palin his so stupid I could never vote for ever.
Did she know that Barack was 8 when Ayers bombed the country ?

Ayers has'nt been repudiated by the nation. And why Palin think Ayers can't afford to be redemed ?

This a country that should replace Mc Cain in the office he's incapable to continues ?

The nation will all die with palin the second day of her presidency.

Amazing vice president.

mcain is choking

He lit a fire..then doused it!! He missed his opportunity

John McCain spoke at an ACORN rally in 2006….Let's look into that if we are going to point fingers at who has supported things that in retrospect they probably shouldn't have….

Obama made everything clear. Mc Cain keeps falling back on his stump speech.

McCain is desperate if all he has to talk about is dirt on Obama. President Obama!!!

McCain is proving he's reactive– thoroughly unpresidential

McCain is trying too hard to make this a "campaign changer". He's interrupting and reaching and playing right into Obama's hands. Isn't he supposed to be trying to look less erratic?

Really is McCain seeming calm and steady to anyone? Anyone?

wow... why cant he stick to what his people tell him to do?

I cant find a JOB. I dont care about Ayers. Unreal Mr. McCain.

i dont care about AYERS!!!

the squiggly line dropped like a rock when Ayers came up...

McCain really fumbled that one. He just looks old and mean and crabby.

Game over.

That's correct. Obama blunted that question...

It's the economy maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnn!

Distractions, Distractions, Distractions.

McCain is avoiding discussion about the economy.

McCain came off as a bitter man..his 'gotcha" moment fell flat

No one but McCain care about this topic and he lost. No one cares and he look and sounded like a old fool.

Obama handled these questions in a very calm, intelligent way. He acts far more presidential than McCain. McCain looks hot headed and ready to blow.

McCain Got Owned on that one!
no one cares about Bill Ayers Old Man! get over it!

He did indeed go there, but he was prompted. However, I think I hear the sound of the McCain campaign taking it's last breath.

Who cares about William Ayers? Obama did not sit on this board with alone. There were others including Republicans.

McCain looked very sad in his attempt to go there. It was a loss for Senator McCain/

Obama schooled McCain.

mccain is scaring me. he seems jerky and his eyes are wild and he keeps repeating himself in memorized statements. he looks pardon my language insane.

Candy, he went there...Senator Obama cleared the air...what is he going to talk about for three weeks now?

amen, and of course obama lies.... that is all that needs to be said...

I am so sick of this issue coming up. It simply shows that McCain knows he can't win based on policy and feels the need to campaign on fear. When Obama is allowed to speak, he is very articulate and clear in explaining that Bill Ayers is NOT a close friend or adviser. The issue only comes up when McCain says we need the "facts" by which he means to deny that Obama knows what goes on in his own life.
