I have come to the conclusion that McCain is no longer trying to win.

Baseball?!? This is more important than the economy and security of our nation?!? How out of touch can McCain be? This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

When do you know your campaign is in the toilet?

...

Oh, that's how...

Maybe McHalfpint should get on some of the blogs to get an idea about how fed up most people are with all his Obama bashing. Oh wait, that's right, I forgot, he doesn't even know how to turn on a computer, much less use it.

God is McCain becoming stupider by the hour?

He sure is getting desperate. Anything, no matter how small, is cause for him to say how Obama is bad for the country.

Well, McCain, I'm from Philadelphia, and you know what? Even if Obama came out full for the Rays, he's still more intelligent, more stabile, more qualified for president than you, you lying desperate old coot.

I'm a Republican, but a Powell Republican, not a hate fill bitter man playing on peoples fears to tear my country apart, unlike you and the rest of the party has become.

Palin says she likes going to places that are pro-America?

Then why is she hanging around your traitorous campaign?

Sen McCain and Sorceress Palin,

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE is no place for these type of High School tactics. Further proof that your well is running dry there buddy boy

Also since I didn't get to comment on the Cindy McCain blog, Cindy, honey, Stand By Your Man sounds a whole lot better when its sung by Tammy Wynette

What? You can't root for one team and respect the other team at the same time, oh wait, you're republican, so no, you can't.

How much MORE ABUSE can the AMERICAN PEOPLE stand from the McCains?

These people disgust me and my husband so much that we have to change the channel as soon as we hear one of their voices.......and believe me.......they are shrill enough to tell within the first few seconds.

WE, the AMERICAN PEOPLE, are SICK and TIRED of the LIES, AND HATE MONGERING coming from the PALIN/McCain campaign.

WE CAN NOT WAIT FOR NOVEMBER 4TH when this will ALL BE OVER.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Does anyone give a hoot about which candidate panders to which sports team?

We know what the City of Brotherly Love thinks of the McCain/ Palin ticket– not 2 weeks ago, Palin was booed for a full 90 seconds after she dropped the first puck at the opening of the hockey season at the Flyers game.

Philadelphia - and I pray to god all the rest of the country– has finally turned against this toxic duo.

Who Cares Mccain you are a moron!

what is next huh? MCplain leave the world series out of Ur messed up stump speeches. Ur just mad cuz no players endorsed u. I'm a phillies fan and happy that @least rays players knows what's a stake in this election their childrens future. Obama 08

Can Senator McCain say or do ANYTHING that will help with the economy or jobs or will he just continue to bash Senator Obama on superfluous stuff? We have real problems, Senator McCain. We will be voting for Senator Obama, no matter what sports team he cheers for!

It's a sad commentary about the last 8 years when you have the mythology that has developed around Obama, a person who has done next to nothing heroic, noteworthy or contributory derserving of the grandiose expectations which he himself has marketed. What kind of person indulges their own grandiose fantasies by parading around Europe as if they had actually accomplished anything; who places a Presidential seal on a lecturn and stands behind it as if he has pre-empted the voter's right to chose? Pandering becomes him and his wife.

This campaign has become hilarious! What has world series got to do with issues! The McCain campaign is starting to sound really childish. Why waste precious time, when the clock is ticking. Please address issues Senator McCain

Poor John McCain... he fought and suffered for his country (and he has the scars to prove it blah blah) and THIS is how he'll be remembered... How sad, he should just collect his dignity and go home.

PS: "Caribou Barbie" will have her own daytime talk show next year, just watch...

@TAINOPOWER "vote for mccain so Hillary will have a chance in 2012"

That's even dumber than what the gop's been saying. There won't be a USA in 2012 if McCain gets in and finishes of the job W started. especially if he doesn't make it through the four years. WAKE UP LISTEN TO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey McCain.....I think you are teh Champion of FlipFlop....probably you had lots of lessons on that....

He's kidding, right? He's serious!?!?!?

although this artical has nothing to do with issues. i`ll still vote for mcsame, mcnugget,mcpalin,mcscroge,mcduck,mcshame,mcwarmonger,mcsenile,mcold,mcdonald,mcmoose,mcpolitian,mcbridge to nowhere,mcfries,mcetc,etc......why. because deep down i know john mcain has to keep his party happy at the same time as winning an election. but also because of the hate that obama supporters have toward mcain

McCain and Palin...............Voting for them is voting for Stupidity for 4 more years...........They have nothing else to talk about since they have no real ideas or solutions for health care or the economy.....he only wants to continue playing WAR by sending our fine young men and women into harms way

McCain,

You suck!

Wow...they TRULY are desperate.

This is really not the time to focus on games. Talk about the issues or don't waste your breath.

We don't care about your World Series pick. I am wondering whether you are talking about this because you are unwilling to battle on the issues or you are unarmed.

oh my gosh! This man is clearly out of his mind. If , with everything going on in this country and he is going to bring this up. Clearly , he must be talking about the fact that Obama shook the hands of the team from Tampa, big deal! He already said that he is rooting for both teams. Let's get to the real issues and keep baseball out of it! Besides, Obama is from my state of Illinois, he is a Chicago fan!

Ouch the Obamabots are out in force. Obama is preaching the local gospel wherever he goes. McCain is just pointing out what Obama is about – the man with two faces. Glad you voted for Obama because you'll only have yourselves to blame....

well I am Fed up with Both Obama and McCain and the Last straw was for the Economic Bail out, Both went with the Flow knowing added Debt devalues Dollar and Raises inflation and ignoring the Poverty ridden Disabled and Elderly, I Voted yesterday and wrote in Ted Nugent! I will not be Hypocritical and Vote for either Obama and McCain knowing its the Same old messed up Economy and future with Different Leaders that Careless, so all Have fun! In 9 months I can Blame those responsible!

Why so much venom from everybody?

Do any of you REALLY think that McCain cares who Obama is rooting for in the World Series, or are you just so partisan that you'll all take any chance to pounce?

Whoever gets elected is going to take over a very, very divided country. Hopefully in 2012 the media won't play such a huge role in that division.

McCain's really scraping the bottom of the barrel with his backlashes at Obama. It's getting pathetic.

Why is this fool wasting his time in PA? He's down like 10 points! Total and complete failure.

MCCAIN: TALK ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR POLICY, NOT ONLY ABOUT OBAMA. IF YOU WANT TO CAMPAIGN ABOUT OBAMA, THAN JOIN US

Pew poll has Obama up by 14; Gallup up by 10

Now, get thee to a phone bank.

OB08

This is not a big deal but it just serves to prove Obama has no backbone, never takes a stand and only does what is best for his own political ambitions.

How come McCain only rags on Obama and never talks about the issues and when he does he only LIES about them.
What's that all about??

McCain, you are a loser and you will lose big. I've written so many postcards to undecided voters and I never once had to mention why you suck because I had so many nice things to say about Obama.
But you are totally pathetic and Sarah still doesn't know what a VP actually does. Pathetic!!!! Eat dirt and quit shaming America.

McCain we are betting on Obama are you in. We didn't bet on the series because sometimes out team do lose.

Tainopower you will be in misery whichever way this race goes. if McCain wins, Sarah will garnish her resume. As much as bloggers here detest her, there are lots of men and ignoramuses drooling over her and she will take the mantle from McCain when his term is up. Hill will be over the hill by then, sorry!

And he knows baseball! He still has the ball Ty Cobb signed for him.

Gotta love it !!!! Does anyone remember him being in Pittsburgh and telling folks about him reciting the Steelers names when questioned by the VC becsause they wanted names? In his book he told the same story only then it was another football team, sorry folks, can't recall which one. But check for yourself. Unfortunately people are to lazy to check facts. I do, on both candidates and they do not ALWAYS tell us the real truth, but McCain is by far the worst. For the life of me I can not fathom why anyone would still vote for him. I too was a great admirere of this man until he was the only senator in this nation that voted against an MLK holiday in Arizona and they did not have one until the other 49 state senators pressured him enough. Also, his campaign is suaturrated with attacks, racial, mean and evil attacks. Difference in policy and opinion is ok, but smears like this are divisive, hateful and DANGEROUS. As a former Hillary supporter I have already voted for Senator Obama. At this junction of our countries economic crisis, only a democrat can bring about changes. What did Senator Obama ask the shop owner who told him business was not good. If you keep on banging your head against the wall it will hurt, so when will you stop? Time for CHANGE.

OBAMA '08 Colorado Votes BLUE

Geez... You're really Grasping at Straws McCain....

Obama is just better on all Fronts, so I can't blame you. On sheer Intelligence and the understanding and depth of the issues at hand, the Obama-Biden ticket just blows you and Palin out of the water.

Obama is better on Economics and his deep understanding of World Issues at what's at hand.

Oh and your "Socialist" Claim? Wall Street supports Obama as well as Main Street. There's a reason that Warren Buffet and Bill Gates supports Obama, and they are the Richest people in the World.

NO WHATS BAD NEWS FOR HIM IS HE IS THE FIRST CANDIDATE WHOSE ANCESTRY HAS BEEN TRACED BACK TO SLAVERY.HIS FAMILY OWNED SLAVED, HE LIED AND SAID THEY DIDN'T, THAT'S DISTURBING……. VERY DISTURBING……….

GEEZ. Alteast McCain made a mistake about a BASEBALL TEAM

...as opposed to Mr. Obama–who flip flops on imporant issues and platforms that affect our lives, our security, and our economy.

I TRUST McCAIN ON THIS ONE !

MCCAIN/PALIN 2008

I live in the Tampabay area, specifically Pinellas County, home of the Rays, also home for phillies spring training. Florida is spring home for many teams. They all play important roles in our communities and have our support. Do your homework, McCain.

Wow! McCain is sure grasping at straws now, isn't he? He realizes that he has nothing to run on, so he has to try to diminish Obama anyway he can, no matter how petty and desperate it sounds. What happened to the clean campaign he vowed to run? I haven't seen it. I can't wait for November 4th!

Obama/Biden '08!

McCain : Shut up !

TAINOPOWER: Clinton has said she wont run again in 2012... sorry

Please stop this negative Ads.People caring about the Economy and Jobs. Please vote for Change.

Um who cares...McSame you have nothing new to offer the American people so this is the best you can come up with? McSame and Palin the puppet, 4 more years of running the country into the ground.

I cannot believe-no I take that back, I can believe that McCain is grasping at any petty straw he can. He has no one to blame, not the media, not Obam's refusal to engage in town hall meetings, no one but himself and his INEPT campaign for being so far down in the polls. The man has NOTHING positive to contribute, just whining, smears and lies. What a waste of the public's money.

I would like to know what is McCain's and Palin's IQ score. It seems very interesting how these two people think, no wonder he picked her as a running mate, they think too much alike. Go figure.

It looks like the same deceiving strategies played by Bush campaign in the last two elections are employed this time too .McCain is 100% Bush in that respect . But most people realized what mistake they have done in the last two elections and will not do the same mistake again

Obama is a much better leader !!!!!!

seems a little hypocritical of sarah palin to be mouthing off about gay marriage when she was pregnant when she married and her daughter aborted her first pregnancy in canada

After all...he is a politician.

I know philly fans wont fall for this BS,they will vote for Obama 6 to 1.

I heard Obama's remarks, he didn't flip nor flop. He just acknowledged them. If an entire team came to see McCain, would he ignore them or compliment them the same way Obama did?

Besides, McCain needs to talk about how he flip flopped on Martin Luther King's holiday to the point of going down there dancing around with black people to get votes. I am tired of this type of distraction. Obama is a White Sox fan and all the world by now knows it. That does not mean that he hates all other teams. After all, he will be their president as well.

Obama/Biden 08

Flip flopping ??? Who flip flops on REAL ISSUES??

McCain Against the tax cut for the tax cut.

McCain for immigration reform against immigration reform?

McCain for torture, against torture and then for torture again (read the bill he signed off on allowing the CIA to torture people. Which is equivalent to saying the NVA should not have tortured him but it would be ok if the KGB came in and did it during the Vietnam War)

McCain was opposed to the Evangelical Talibanization of his party in 2000 and now he is all for having all of the radical evangelicals (Palin the witch hunter) spread hate in his name.

McCain was all for deregulation and allowing the markets to self police. Now he calls them greedy and says we need to reregulate.

McCain is against government waste but he voted in favor of the largest expansion of government in history with the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

There are dozens of more examples of how this once decent man has sold his soul to WIN AT ALL COSTS.

The GOP has lost touch with the Constitution and the people. Their only appeal is through base fear and greed.

Is that all that is left for McCain to talk about???? You've got to be kidding me!

McCain STOP worrying about what Obama is doing in HIS campaign AND tell us WHAT you are GOING to DO for US in this BAD economy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO after ALL these MONTHS, McCain has made it CLEAR that Philly VOTES DON'T count......................................NOW they DO????????

WHAT........YOU ARE RIGHT MCCAIN, SOMEONE IS FLIP FLOPPING and his name IS John McCAIN............and Palin don't KNOW what she talking about day to day..............nuff said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey John – somebody on your campaign staff forgot to tell Sarah who SHE is rooting for:

Two weeks ago, at appearances in Jacksonville and Clearwater, Florida, the St. Petersburg Times said Sarah Palin “was all about the Tampa Bay Rays.”

But in Salem, New Hampshire one week later, Palin paid tribute to the Rays’ American League foes. “New Hampshire, I gotta tell ya, I am looking forward to the debate tonight right here in Red Sox Nation,” she said. “We’re just 20 days out from the election and it’s gonna come right down to the wire, and we’re counting on you because Red Sox fans know how to turn an underdog into a victor, and that’s exactly what you can help us do on November 4!”

“It's so great to be here in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country. Good to be here in the home of the Lancaster Barnstormers,” she said at a Lancaster, Pennsylvania campaign event. “And of course, congratulations on your Phillies on making it to the World Series. First time in 15 years. Ok, Philly fans, you do know all about turning an underdog into a victor. May you please help us do that also on Election Day, please? Pennsylvania, are you ready to carry your state to victory?”

McCain has lost his last days of this race. Why not go down with something to think about. Obama Obama Obama.

Obama facts :

1 . He said undivided jerushalem and then changed his stance
2. Rooting for Philly then shifted to Rays
3. Will sit with Iran unconditionally then shifted to 'be prepared and then sit and then I am not talking about presidents sitting.
4. opposed Drilling then shifted for drilling
5. Praised Ayers and then shifted to Renounce him

and list goes on...

Bottom line. He will do anything and change his stance to get elected. that;s the CHANGE he is talking about.. He sure changing himself everytime.

Go Obama win, win, win. The Obama supporters in Baton Rouge and around the world are eagerly awaiting the victory of positive change. The many supporters in Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana, have your back, so take the time you need to visit your grandmother and we'll be praying for you all. Once you are back on the trail. My family and I would like to invite you and your family to Baton Rouge, La.

Obama / Biden 08′…………………………………

Palin / McCain No, No , No, not now, not ever, not anywhere, leave and never come back , enough of both of you, America does'nt want you to be the President or vice President, go away, stay away. can you understand this is simplest form, on your low level of understanding . Cindy McCain just please, don't say anything, you have enough uncouth people talking already. you and the pumpkin head look alike, both are empty. Like the republicans

Husband and I voted today.

GO OBAMA!

Next, McCain will be crying about Obama flip flopping his shoes. Thank goodness its only 14 more days!

***************PLEASE POST THIS COMMENT CNN*********************

@ "TAINOPOWER"...... you say that the ONLY reason you will vote for McCain is........Hillary! Are you daft? Are you nuts?

I am appalled (as Hillary would be) to have ANY ONE who claims to love her and support her, VOTE FOR HER EXACT OPPOSITE!

Hillary and Baracks ideas and platform are IDENTICAL!

McCain and the Republicans call Hillary, Obama, and the rest of us, Democrats..........ANTI-AMERICAN!

Of course, you are free to vote from whom you'd like......BUT DO NOT USE THE EXCUSE..........THAT YOU ARE VOTING FOR MCCAIN............BECAUSE OF HILLARY! THAT'S A ........LIE!

IDIOT! You picked the Dodgers and Red Sox on national t.v.

You are the worse. Find a real subject and give us your position, if you have one!

Pathetic!

McCain to voters: "Haven't figured out how dumb I think you are yet? Here's another clue."

Ummm Palin. Most Red Sox fans are EXTREMELY liberal so....You lost there.

If Obama is elected and raises taxes on corporations, we'll see inflation. This will probably be about the same time the we have the promised international crisis aimed at testing our inexperienced president. these two things along with the Pelosi/Reid led congress will kill our economy.

Vote for McCain. We can't afford the risk.

McCain I don't like this statement but you sound like a female who has lost her boyfriend to her girlfriend. Everytime you see her she talks about what great time they had and what it will be like to be with him again. John we don't like your game. Get a life, get a plan and most of all get a running mate. You and Sara are pathetic.

nobama and democrats make me feel nauseated from all they're idiocy

He's reaching across to work with both sides Johnny Boy. Isn't that what you supposedly do so well. You are acting childish now. They say the older you get the more you revert to being a childlike.

HA GUYS,

THE NEXT TIME CINDY AND JOHN MCCAINS MOTOR CADE COMES THROUGH YOUR TOWN, PULL OUT YOUR PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES AND SHAKE THEM, SCENCE SHE WANTS TO RAISE HELL ABOUT THE LIBERIAL MEDIA, TALKING ABOUT HER PAST DOPE USE.

You would think with all his years in politics that McCain would understand that a certain amount of campaigning involves pandering to your audience. However, Senator Obama didn't sound like he was really picking the Rays. He said he was a White Sox fan. So, whatever. I am beginning to understand why McCain doesn't stick to the issues–he is terrible at that. His economic plans have been widely criticized. So, he sticks with going negative against Senator Obama.

Wow. So this is what the GREAT John McCain has come down to... What a sad sack

America............please google FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS. Very interesting reading about another "friend" in obama's long list of undesireables.

McCain is grasping at straws.

One more thing old man, be careful when you pander to one team in Philly that you don't isolate another huge voting block that you are going to have a problem holding this coming NOV 4, it's called the Florida electorate & pretty sure that they don't see your pathetic "Philly & Ray" comments as too amusing or funny while you try to attack your opponent for doing the same thing which you are doing at the same exact moment, which seems to be a theme of this pathetic campaign.

The "underdog" is fine for sports teams and American Idol competitions and such, but I'd prefer that the "underdog" didn't have control of my government.

Good point McCain. I loved the old McCain...perhaps its too little too late but this Hispanic Democrat will vote for McCain. NO SOCIALISM, NO WAY, NO HOW, NOBAMA!!!

McCain, last week you used Joe the Plumber, this week is the World Series! What is it going to be next week? Remeber there are only two weeks left!!! VERY SAD!!!!!

This is what one would call a campaign on the defense!! They worry so much about what the Obama campaign offers that they forget to offer any substance!!

Obama/Biden08

What do the phillies have to do with economy, health care, and jobs? McCain you are so stupid and pathetic that it ain't funny anymore. Get a paln John.

DESPERATION
I want the 2 minutes of my life it took to read this article back.

In other news.. Economy still in the tank, USA still waging wars on 2 fronts, unemployment still rising......

Way ta go, Sen McCain. You can't talk economy.. you've dumped the terrorist/socialism rhetoric, so now you resort to baseball flip-flopping? If Obama says something good about both teams, cause his Chicago White Sox are out of the running... well, that's just good politics.

Honestly... the campaign has truly gone into silly frenzy now. I cannot wait til Nov 4 comes so we can stop listening to the silly things being put out by the McCain campaign.

CNN, why don't you change your name to the McCain National Enquirer? Your headlines almost always lean toward McCain and you look for any glimmer of hope that he can pull off an upset. When you print this garbage instead of real news, you're playing the role of cheerleader rather than unbiased media. That's how the last clown got elected, took us to war and bankrupted the country in the span of 8 years because the media was worried about nonsense like what John Kerry wore to go wind-surfing. Puleeze!

Go Obama win, win, win. The Obama supporters in Baton Rouge and around the world are eagerly awaiting the victory of positive change. The many supporters in Baton Rouge and the state of Louisiana, have your back, so take the time you need to visit your grandmother and we'll be praying for you all. Once you are back on the trail. My family and I would like to invite you and your family to Baton Rouge, La.

Well I am from Philly and Now I will not vote for Obama. PLEASE anyone who would change their vote because of something like this has no business voting in the first place. I live near Bensalem and the people there are pretty much just Whiskey Tango.

OBAMA/BIDEN '08

Go Phillies

Is it completely impossible for McBlame to talk about ANYTHING of relevance? This joker has done lost his mind. It's official.

Wow ,I was wandering how many pills mccain have to take a day?

ARE YOU KIDDING!!!

Now the IDIOT Republicans want us to believe Senator Obama is a flip-flpper and can't make decissions because of baseball.

McCain/Palin and the Republican Party are PURE IDIOTS!!!

I'm going to sleep until Nov. 4th. Someone wake me up and I'll go vote for Obama. I just want this junk to be over with!

OMG – Obama talked to the Rays!!!!!! I could overlook the hanging around with Terrorists, but this is the end – talking to the Rays, my god.

who cares about baseball? football is the real american game.

As a lifelong Phillies fan and Philadelphia native, I offer Obama absolution from any hedging in his support of the Phils. Just look at that picture of Grandpa and Princess Budweiser. It's something out of an Addams Family knockoff. Maybe Joe the Plumber would shift from the Indians to the Phils to show the "real America" how to do it. (Wouldn't that also be a flip-flop?) Just how idiotic will the McPain campaign get in the next two weeks?

McCain is telling everyone that we (Americans) are mad about what is going on right now. Well I would think so, considering, that all we hear now is the bickering. Who gives a crap stick to the issue. Stop acting like a bunch of spoiled, deprived children. We need someone that will do what they saythey will do areat least fight to get it done. If our elected officials are bicker ing and doing the " I am better at this than you job"Then maybe we need to re-Elect the whole darn bunch and make "Changes" ourselves. Now wouldn't that be somthing to start "Change" in America. Think about it!

Obama wasn't having it both ways. He is rooting for the Phillys but also thanked Rays players who supported him (like he thanks all his supporters).

If they had reported on the restart of what Obama said in Florida, you would have found out that he mentioned that he was supporting the Phillies

Holy nuts McCain, what makes you think this matters? Who would be petty enough to care?

Cue people petty enough to care in 3, 2, 1...

I'm a Phillies fan and I want to keep our sports out of this election. Palin has jinxed our Flyers. Since she dropped the puck for the Flyers they have been on a losing streak.

Hopefully America will keep their sports separate from their politics. We can't control who wins the World Series but we can control who wins this election.

Vote Obama/Biden '08

Desperate!!!!!!

Could this get any stupider? All McCain can argue on is sports teams?

McPalin is getting so petty! like seriously next they're going to attack Obama for drinking Coke in one state and then having Pepsi in another? what happened to his big announcement today that they are focusing on the economy? luckily for me I work for a sporting goods company so the World Series is kind of relevant to our numbers but, for the "Joe the Plubmers" of the world, i don't really think they care what team anybody supports. Plus, I thought the McPalin base was all about the "hockey moms"? i guess they decided baseball is more pro-American this week.

SHUTTTTTTTTTTTTTT........UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP..................SARAHMCCAIN

I'm praying for an end to all this madness. Palin and McCain are sick. I live in No. California and have yet to see even one sticker or teeshirt with their names on it. When I go out for lunch there are lines of people purchasing stickers and registering to vote for Obama. I wish he could visit us here. There would be at least 300,000 people waiting to see Obama and Biden. Thank God people here in California are smarter than to elect these two race baiting fools. Their hatred will consume them.

I always wanted to visit Alaska. Since Palin emerged, I'll skip that idea.

On another note: Thank you to all the youth voters and first time voters. Welcome. Obama supporters let's all thank Keith Olbermann for the outstanding job he does every night. Thanks Keith. Keep up the good work. I'm sure if Obama is elected you will get your pick of press coverage.

This might be just a little too "Inside Baseball."

Someone remind McCain that a month ago, when Obama noted that he was rooting for the Phillies, the Rays weren't even a blink on anyone's World Series radar. I guess Joe the Plumber has his 15 minutes so McCain has to find some other distraction to draw away from real concerns like the economy.

I live in the Philadelphia suburbs and switched parties to vote for Obama. I couldn't care less what team he supports. His vision for America is the reason I'm voting for him. Let's move beyond these superfluous media spins and focus on real issues such as foreign policy, energy and the economy.

McCain your running on empty there buddy. What happened to your honest campaign? Your showing your true colors. Give it up gramps! You, barbie and the Alaskan whackado wake up!

John McCain was a hero of mine. He is no better a person than the people that kept him as a POW. The man sickens me.

OMG! So now Obama is not qualified to be President because of the World Series? Desperate times...desperate measures. Early voting today in FL for "THAT ONE!" McCain – time to shut up and go home...you know, to one of the EIGHT that you own!! Pick one...any one...and take Caribou Barbie w/you! GEEZ!

Why is mccain pandering to the Phiiles now

This man and his partner are JOKES!

You are such a joke McCain ...We DO NOT want you in Pa.

This is crap. I hate to be mean be this man needs to retire!!!

Obama/Biden ' 08

Yeah right, John. That's what Americans really care about. The World series, not the ecomony, jobs, energy, our two wars. John, take was is left of your dignity and honor and go home.

Well, I heard that Obama went into a restaurant and didn't order a Philly Cheese Steak!!!!!!!!!! OMG – call the cops!

Are you kidding McCain? That last straw you are clinging to is ready to snap along with your sanity.

No wonder McCain clings to a plumber like a life raft. He practices butt crack politics.

But back in McCain's day, it was the Philadelphia Athletics.

whatever palin

Poor man has nothing else to do or say in his campaign, but i do not feel sorry for him!!!

McShame is so low now that he's willing to try and pit world series team fan against each other!!!! He really does want to divide ann conquer anyway possible.
I live in Philly and I seriously doubt that any Phillies fans will not vote for Obama because he allegedly flip floped on the team. No one here really believes that McCain won't do the same when he campaigns in Florida [he really needs that state] because he his the king of flip-flop!

He's such an idiot! I was there, all he mentioned was getting love and support for the World Series bound Rays. He knows better than to get in the middle of what's going to be a heated World Series. When he was in Mizzo and Kansas City, he even said he would not get into any sports rivalry because he knows how much people love their respected teams! Goodness!

PLEASE VOTE THE GREEDY ELEPHANTS OUT !!!

demand the elephant party change by voting them out..

I was watching TV and heard Palin get bood at that Flyers game. The announcer was polite and said it was a mixed reaction. Mixed? maybe mixed between boos and louder boos.

Face it. Palin is like one of those old pull string dolls. She comes loaded with a certain number of phrases. You pull the string, you know one of those phrases will come out. The only uncertainty is which of those phrases it will be.

Umm.....so he shouldn't have acknowledged the players because he already said he was rooting for the Phillies? How immature that would have been.

someone press the stop button on Palin, cuz she sounds like a broken record.

I was a Clinton supporter–now happily suporting Obama–and remember blanching when Mark Penn or one of his surrogates brought to light the fact that 5-year-old Obama had dreamed of becoming President. This has the same silly and desperate feel.

No comment.

All McCain and Palin does is bash Obama. Every word out of their mouths is Obama did this, Obama did that. We need to know more about what they plan on doing for the American people.

I wish John McCain could come up with something more important to talk about then the world series. He's pathetic. He has tried everything else and it has failed, so he needs to bring in the Philies and Rays. Just once I would like to hear that man talk about something that matters to the common citizen and NOT bring up Obama in the same sentence. God help us if he becomes president. We are all going to be in deep *^&%!

McCain, Please retire and take Sarah with you so that you will have someone to debate with. She disagrees with you on a lot of issues. It is your fault that you selected that pretty face to be on your ticket.

On TAXES: Again, if you wish to support 'the Billionaire Plan', vote for McCain. He'll MAKE sure your taxes GO directly to the top 1%. He's voted 90% of the time to make it happen, he'll not blink to give it to them again. But first, he needs your support to put him in office.

So for complainers who calls Obama's plan, socialist, vote for McCain. His plan is even better. ALL your TAXES will go to help the top 1%.

seriously??? first it's a big deal that a hypothetical game 6 of the world series will be delayed, and now this? when did mlb become such a hot button issue?

Wait.....McCain's serious?......I thought he was making a joke. He's actually criticizing a candidate about sports teams?!? Go to bed old man.

The only reason I will vote for McCain is. Hillary Clinton. yes Hillary Clinton if obama wins Hilary wont be able to run for president in 2012 and 2016 she be to old to run . I will ask all democrats to vote for McCain and if McCain wins Hillary will have a chance to run again for president in 2012 and she will win.

Of all the important news to cover in the world and you, CNN, choose to publish this trash?
Who gives a ____?
Poor McCain.

Go Obama.

Desperate for an issue, John?

McCain drafted an immigration bill last summer, then said he'd vote against his own bill.... that's senile... just do anything to keep focus off the economy

When was the last time McCain or Palin said anything meaningful or indicative of the job they would do in Washington? Their campaign has plummeted to a level of desperation and negativity which is pathetic.

"Make America strong again..." vote Obama / Biden

mccain campaign is so desperate. its over john! your campaign in sinking like the titanic.

Hey Old Man, don't talk to Obama about flip-flopping... you have flipped on more issues than I can count on two hands.

This man and his running mate are stirring up hate and fear and division across this great Country of ours, and he comes up with this nonsense. How about explaining just how giving bigger tax breaks to the wealthiest will help us, McCain? What a sleaze.

Distractions instead of intelligent conversations.

Go away republicans. NOT THIS TIME.

Vote early

This is ridiculous... What a loser. Please try to act your age Senator McCain.

Obama 08

I just want to know why Mr McCain is saying on one hand that Mr Obmaa is flip flopping with the Phillies, did he not do the same when it came to voting to legalize the holiday for Martin Luther King Jr when he voted against it and now wanting to have the black vote from his state or any other state while he was campaigning to try and get support from the black community what's up with that double standard is he now begging for votes from the black community or is he really apologetic that he voted against legalizing the King holiday for all Americans, an now he is for the holiday.. Am I wrong here please email me back

And this has to do with the war and the economy...how? Just when I thought the McCain campaign couldn't get any lower.

Obama '08

I am not suprised, but I am really tired of hearing the brown stinky stuff flowing from McCain and Palin's mouths. You've got to be kidding me. This just goes to show how desperate he is. It's fine with me...keep on talking Johnny Boy....it is only helping the person we all should be voting for.....Obama '08 YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!

It's really simple, John. Obama wants to rebalance the tax code and that doesn't feel so good to someone like John McCain who is far above the wealthiest tax bracket. So the best way to deflect that criticism is not to get into a fair debate about who is benefitting from the candidate's tax proposals, but rather to accuse the other side of "socialism". And rather than admitting that the U.S. already does "spread the wealth" by taxing the wealthy more, you use that phrase as if it's someting dirty, and you're asking regular "Joes" to vote for you, knowing that you intend to tax them more. But then, it's all about "country first" and not getting personal, right John?

P.S. how do feel about Joe's back taxes? Is it ok to evade taxes, or is that Obama's fault, too?

How about on Gun control?
How about on off shore drilling?
How about on Nuclear energy?
How about in the primaries he was saying he would bring troops home right away, then he flipped it over to 16 months?
How about taxes 1st tax increases then maybe not during a recession then back to the increases?
How about Rev wright is like an uncle to me, my spirtual mentor, then on Oreilly factor he says Wright was never my spiritual mentor?
And to think that only on one issue John Kerry flip fliopped and they put out the windsurfing commercial and that was the end of him!
He is the King on Flip Flopping!

Early voting is the way to go.

Registered Republican "voted" Obama/Biden 08

Is John Mccain really dumb or what? Has he forgotten when in Rome....... We all are aware that Obama is a chicago cubs or sox fan.
So what's wrong with showing for love the home town team? Is this the kind of argument that will help provide jobs for the American people or provide health care for them? Is this argument going to help the issue of home forclosure or the wars in Iraq and elswhere? With just a few days to the elections I will hope that the Mccain-Palin ticket be more serious with the American people and stop playing around like this is some high school elections.

How can Palin preach on the job training with regards to Obama when it is soooo more than evident that she is sub standard in comparison? Will someone please answer this for me. What is the draw to this woman? People, please this is about the possibility of running this country. Are you people thinking of this? This is not a beauty pagent. This is the real thing. What is the matter with you people? Highly respected, highly intelligent world leaders and politicians with in the Republican Party themselves have said that she is not ready to be President. What does that mean to you people? Are you crazy?
Why is it too, that everyone is so careful not to point out her negatives? Not to point out the contradictions with in her own State of Alaska as Govenor. What about her religious convictions, the witch hunting Pastor that she supports, and her denial of wrong doing in Troupergate? She's a woman so we can't touch her. This is total bull.
This woman's goal is to be President. She will do whatever it takes to get herself into that position. Palin is about Palin.
Why does she just sound off with rhetoric and no substance? Why don't some of you question her on that? Why do so many of you support her and McCains negative and untruthful campaign? Noted by and confirmed by all the press except of course, Fox News.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BLIND SIGHTED AMERICANS? WHY ARE SO MANY OF YOU FOLLOWERS AND SO EASILY DRAWN INTO THIS? What about our country? What happens if McCain bites the dust?
I don't want to be any part of this silly movement. It is crazy and dangerous.

Hey, John, want to stop making an important election about unimportant things. Oh, that's right, you have no real position on important things. By the way, Sen. Biden is a Phillies fan.

How about on Gun control?
How about on off shore drilling?
How about on Nuclear energy?
How about in the primaries he was saying he would bring troops home right away, then he flipped it over to 16 months?
How about taxes 1st tax increases then maybe not during a recession then back to the increases?
How about Rev wright is like an uncle to me, my spirtual mentor, then on Oreilly factor he says Wright was never my spiritual mentor?
And to think that only on one issue John Kerry flip fliopped and they put out the windsurfing commercial and that was the end of him!

Oh please!!!! Philly phanatic here, not an issue.

How about the Economy, Medicare, Social Security, Healthcare & Education.

McCain/Palin = idiots!!

THE LATEST GALLOP NUMBERS

OBAMA 52%

MCCAIN 41%

NEED I SAY MORE?

Wow, grasping at straws now....

OMG!! He is supporting a different sports team, the world is ending. Grow UP!! Talk about issues.

Just another case of Obama telling the people that he is currently with, what they want to hear.

Jus like when he was in San Francisco talking about all of the "bitter people clinging to their guns and religion" in Ohio.

THIS IS SOME NONSENSE. I STILL DON’T GET WHY THE GOP ARE NOT FOCUSING REAL ISSUES THAT FACING AMERICAN. WE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION. AND THEY ARE STILL NOT GETTING THERE LESSON.

Is that all you have.........pouring over obama's every word..............You should take David Gergens advice and go out with what's left of your dignity intack................Shameless

McCain, you have got to do better than that. What about the economy?

McCain, is that all you got? I can smell the desparation from here in Illinois.

Whoever would actually change their vote after hearing this drivel.... McCain, you deserve them because their IQ is about as high as some of the others that you are attracting. Not very high

Really, is this a headline......Honestly, I kind of lost respect for myself by clicking on this.

Do people really care when the economy is in trouble, people losing jobs and not having healthcare

MCCAIN JUST DOESNT HAVE ANY OTHER THING TO SAY, NO CORRECT IDEA TO THE TABLE, JUST ONLY RATTLING NONSENSE THAT CANT MAKE SENSE. I CANT WAIT FOR NOV 4TH TO SEND THIS MAN TO ARISONNA WHILE WE REPAIR OUR PARTY FOR 2012 ELECTION. THIS YEAR I AM VOTING OBAMA

Obama brings people together. “So when you see a White Sox fan showing love to the Rays, and the Rays showing some love back, you know we’re on to something right here.” McCain chooses to divide people at every opportunity, even using baseball to try to make his inept point. Apparently his running mate has more diplomacy than he has.

What an idiot! What is wrong with wishing both teams well? Is everything a polictical tool for loosers?

JOHN MCSAME IS SO OUT OF TOUCH, HIS ATTACK LINES ARE EVEN DIFFICULT TO FOLLOW!

TODAY OBAMA IS:
1. dr. no
2. liberal
3.ayers friend
4. acorn supporter
5. socialist
6. wealth spender
7. sport pundit

THIS OLD 72YR OLD TWAT IS SO ERRATIC TO THE POINT THAT ANYTIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH, HIS GIBBERISH TALKING POINTS JUST SPUTTERS OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

YES, JOHN MCSAME IS REALLY RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's a very SILLY MAN. I have no words for this silliness except we've reached "Silly Season" in politics once again.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08-12

Because what a candidate thinks about baseball is really cogent to the discussion.

The Republicans continue to illustrate how dumb they think the electorate is. By the comments from their audiences at the rallies it's wholly apparent that the party relies on ignorance and fear to garner votes.

The GOP is the shame of a nation.

yeah McCain..we REALLY care about who wins the World Series while our economy is in the tank?

Poor old man....

so flip flopping on the economy like McCain has shown in the last 2 weeks doesnt matter but being a fan of a baseball team does?

man i can't believe how desperate McCain has become...i could understand if he was joking but to then talk about flipflopping and Joe the idiot....sad....and with the plumber...how many more times can you drag that dead horse across the stage?....welcome to the GOP circus with it's ringmaster John "didya know I was a POW" McCain....

Give it a rest, McCain. You are the one who has been flipping and flopping like a landed trout.

What a joke.

McCain needs to look around the world and see what is happening to the economy. He is so out of touch with people and the world that his focus is on whether obama likes one football team or another. Come on get with the program and stop grasping at straws. The only one thats been flip flopping in this campaign is you. Obama has the backing of the people because he cares about what they want and stay with the issues. You can't seem to stay with anything except mudsling the other person. I did vote republican, in the primaries but in this general election, you just lost a vote. I want someone who will work for me, and you have show me how you can just can't do that. Obama has my vote for 2008

Just when you thought the McCain campaign couldn't sink any lower- now John "I'll say anything to win" McCain is using Barack's comments on BASEBALL as a reason not to vote for him.

Memo to McCain: how about talking about some REAL issues of REAL substance to the American public. This constant barrage of CHEAP SHOTS adds NOTHING to the real debate of REAL issues voters care about!!!

oh. my. god.

When I first scanned the title I thought he was referring to the Phillipines, like a nick name or something. Then I came back and was like, surely he is not talking sports.

Dude has seriously lost it.
Oh yeah – TEXANS FOR OBAMA!!!!

Simple response: I dont care about things like this and neither should you. If you want my vote talk about something that matters. Well... not that he or his staff reads CNN or anything negative.

McCain who cares...
Give us some concrete things that you are going to do, show some leadership.
I cannot believe that you would stoop to this level...this is just bad.

Why not dicsuss the issues...Oh yea..you cannot remember them.

Is this guy for real or what? Does he think that votes are based upon which team you support? Why not talk about the issues? You know! The economy? Oh I forgot Johnny come lately McCain knows more about baseball than the economy. But I think he probably knows little about that as well.

McCain flip-flopped on the status of the US economy, social conservative stance, running an honorable campaign, Supreme Court justice qualifications, and too many other things to mention.

Johnny boy just in case you didn't hear it when Palin went to see the Flyers vs. Rangers:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PATHETIC!!! McCain is one of the sadest and most desperate candidates in presidential history! At this point, he will say anything and do anything in a last ditch effort to become president.

Forget about honesty and integrity. I guess they are not as important as his personal ambitions.

I am very afraid for an America with this man in charge!

But I live in one of the anti-American states so I guess he doesn't care what I think.

Can you say "reaching?"

And this is so very important issue that we have in America isn't it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Talk about solutions to the people's problems just once without attacking your opponent comments!

Palin is only able to read her 3X5 cards. She has a stack of them handed to ehr every morning and that is the talking point for the day. Anyone asking a question that is not covered on those cards is UN-AMREICAN. Or is it the MEAN Press corp. WHAT EVER she can only read the cards because if she tries to use her brain you get those endless rambling run on sentances that go on and on and on and that say you know like well if you had asked a question about a differnt topic that well I could attempt to fit my 3X5 Card answer toI could like try to answer that question that you did not ask you betcha

Doesn't the McCain camp have anything of substance left? Why do they feel this nitpicky petty stuff is of importance?

honestly who cares? I love how McCain keeps dividing the parties more and more with his negativity. I wonder if he really will reach across the aisles?

And what's the big darn deal about Colin going against his own party? That's reaching across the aisles right there.

Heaven forbid we can have people in politics with their won minds like Powell and Chuck Hagel. Remember when John McCain was like that – 2000? That former version of John McCain is now a sad memory.....

This is sooooo dumb.

I am so glad I voted for Obama on Monday.

This is a non-issue....but that's the theme of the McCain campaign.

On a side note: Palin was questioned in Colorado this week by a 3rd grader who asked "What is the VP's job"? She answered "To be the head of the Senate" and that she wants to "get in there" and influence the Senator's decisions.

Seriously? This woman is running for VP and doesn' t even know what her job entails? The ONLY job she has, as defined by the Constitution, is to break a tie in the Senate....and to open electoral voting envelops. She does not have any power over the Senate besides that.

Wow! Forget that I support Sen. Obama based on his stance of the issues! I'm now voting for McCain because Obama showed "Love for the Rays" but is rooting for the Phillies! I mean, this is obviously the most important issue to talk about! Forget the economy, it all comes down to baseball!

Really, Johnny, this is the best you can come up with? Its over, pal.

?????????

Wow. Just when I thought McCain couldn't get any more ridiculous, pathetic or irrelevant... Thank god he's there to save me from Obama the Sports Traitor!

Such a lengthy article on such a trivial topic, CNN! This is a blurb-worthy quote by McCain, sure, but such an epilogue for such a miniscule topic as far as actual "political races" go? Again, if that's all that McCain has, guess that constitutes "news".

This is news? Why did CNN bother commenting on a throw-away line? Not everything deserves to be in the Ticker, folks.

mccain you are the King of Flip flop what are you talking about dude

why do i care really!!!! CNN U can do better pathetic story

What this lastest comment from John McCain means is that he is just so desparate to win this election that he will even bring up something so trivial as who Barack Obama is supporting for major league baseball and if he is flip flopping or not. If its not baseball, then he is a rock star or a socialist, an elitist anything but the truth.

I mean really can he have one stump speach that simply deals with the issues. His campaign is in total disarray. One minute he is on the attack and the next minute he says his campaign is all about the economy. Other than talk about Obama's economic plan what plan has he come up with and discussed. ZERO!!!

Obama/Biden 08'

Why isnt the media talking about Nathan Sproul of Lincoln Strategy who has been involved in voter fraud for the republicans. If there is any voter fraud thats going to be attempted its the republicans they are so desperate. Obama/ Biden 08

McCain you just don't know what to do with yourself do you?WHAT ABOUT THE ECONOMY?/what in the h*ll is wrong with you.Obama was showing that they are all the best atheletes but because your in Penn. today you want to play the smear card AGAIN to benefit you.I hate to tell you but you have lost this race.You failed to put confidence in the american people about this crisis and your sidekick is so busy hate mongering that we now have protesters trying to block her motorcade.Well she brought this on herself and so did you.Always remember what goes around comes around.To Senator Obama my prayers and thought s are with you and your family during your grandmother's illness

McCain has lost it. Who gives a flying flip!!!! The worst thing about it is that CNN t hinks this is news. November 4th please get here soon!

Who really cares......in her world she probably thinks the North Pole is wear Santa Claus really lives!!!!

Are you freaking kidding me?!?

McCain is obviously DESPARATE....and following TERRIBLE advice from whoever writes his speeches and/or advises him.

Obama didn't say he was rooting for the Rays. He said, and I quote "showing love" to them. He was congratulating them on making it to the WS.

He wasn't rooting FOR them. He didn't suddenly say "The Rays are my team now."

Desparation, thy name is McCain.

Flip-flopped on the Phillies...that's all ya' got, John...so sad, but so heartening to we Obama supporters!

the only thing cindy has "lashed out" on is he ridiculously caked in mascara eye lashes. the sight of her makes my eyes water.

mccain tells crowds he's for nuclear power except he doesn't mention it when he is in Neveda where the spent waste gets stored after it is used. palin says Barack will take money from some then give others checks. Yet in the same boring stump speech she says in Alaska she sent every citizen a check for $1200. The republican candidates are huge lying hypocrites.

MCcain and his Weep or is it Keep...I mean his Veep should confer more often and agree on thier statements instead of contradicting each other.

This article is a WASTED OF SPACE! C'mon CNN I'm sure that there are more newsworthy events happening today that could warrant this space.
Red Sox nation!
Obama/Biden '08

I'm shocked that politicians jump on the bandwagons of winning sports teams. This is truly an important sign of one's character.

As a side note, instead of a democracy, can we try installing leaders via a death match? I'm ready to give that a shot.

I'm sure Obama is aware that the Biden family are big Phillies fans also. Leave it to McCain to twist things around.

OBAM/BIDEN

What was that about McCain reciting in his prison camp what team ?

He should be careful when he tries to pick a kindergarten fight in the school yard at age 72!

Say "Economy", John McCain! We have PROBLEMS out here ! REAL PROBLEMS!

Cant win on issues? Say your opponent hates your local baseball team

McCain is so dumb, and his comments here are just further proof of his dumbness.

you know what, McLie and his campaign are not relevant anymore. They want us to think the polls are close as a way of supressing votes.

This is so petty....

Senator McCain, give up on the nastiness, the glibness and the rest of the campaign nonsense that seems to attempt to detract from the real issues in this presidential election.

John McCain really is grasping at straws. This is just silliness.

Not dumb enough to get caught up in a World Series matchup/rivalry? Ok...but you WERE dumb enough to pick Sarah Palin as your running mate. That's all that matters to THIS Texas gal!!!

Senator McCain,
I speak for the overwhelming majority of fellow Pennsylvanians when I say, sincerely...BLOW IT OUT YOUR DITTY BAG.

As a diehard baseball fan (supporter for the Jays)... if the best McCain can do is to try and talk about flip flopping on supporting of teams buddy – you have already lost. President Obama...has a great ring to it.

Btw, Rays in 6 over Philly.

Give it a rest, McCain. All the comes out of this man's mouth is garbage.

Puh-lease. Politicians are for whatever team the crowd in front of them is for...I'ts not flip-flopping, it's pandering – and they all do it.

Someone should ask McCain/Palin how choosing baseball teams will help the economy. Talking baseball and other non-issues like socialism and Joe the plumber makes it so they don't have to talk about McCains "rich people first" economic plan.

SILLY PALIN NEEDS TO MAKE MORE BABIES! (MCCAIN has no such luck with Alzheimers).
A team at Richmond University has found that having a toddler makes a woman brighter.

According to researchers, moms-to-be rewire their brains to cope with motherhood — and their intelligence soars when the tots are actually born.

They have based their findings on an experiment on laboratory rodents, which showed that mother rats become braver and faster at finding food after their babies are born, The Sun reported.

And the increased ability could curb Alzheimer’s, according to the researchers.

“The changes could last for the rest of their lives,” lead researcher Prof Craig Kinsley of Richmond University

Pander Bear

He always finds a way to go negative. The GOP should not blame anyone but themselves for choosing this buffoon to represent them. Barack Obama did not say he was rooting for the Rays. He said he's rooting for the Phillies but was showing respect for the Rays, something John McCain knows nothing about. McCain supporters, I'm begging you to examine how your candidate is pulling at straws right now trying to win this race. They think that their supporters are sooooooooo stupid that they'll vote based on what team a particular candidate is supporting in the World Series.

McCain/Palin. Dumbing you down for the past 4 months so that they can do it for the next 4 years.

Hypocrite!!!!!!! Why is it okay when they do it, but not okay for others? John McCain and Sarah Palin have resorted to the worst type of politics there are. Who is this weido anyway? When is he going to admit that he and his campaign are the problem with America today? Give it up......... Nothing from nothing leads to nothing and that is where John and Sarah would like to see all of us. With nothing!!!!!!

Well...that seals it...can't vote for a man who fip flops on BASEBALL!! Geez, people...is that the best thing that Mean Mr. Mustard can come up with as the election winds down?!?! I'm so ready for this election to be over and for Obama to finally be called President Eelct Obama!!!!!!

Okay how old is Mccain Like 80 and he is still acting like he is 3 years Old Mccain and His Campaign is the Reason he will not be the Next President. It is Time to Grow up Mccain unforutnatly you don't see how immauture you are to Obama it seems like Obama is the Senior Senator and not the Freshman.

Now THAT'S desperate

First of all, Obama did NOT attack Joe the Plumber.
McCain drug his name into the debate, and he
automatically became the media's new sweetheart.
And in true media style, they investigated every little
detail about him. If you want to be mad about someone
attacking Joe the Plumber, it should be the media, McCain.

And secondly, can we PLEASE stop hearing about
Joe the Plumber?! He has nothing to do with this
election, other than casting his one vote, and I'm
sick and tired of hearing the phrase "Joe the Plumber"
over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and
over and over and over and over and over and over
again.

No one gives a flying hoot about Joe the Godforsaken Plumber!

Obama is a White Socks fan. Why does it matter who he roots for in this world series? When your team isn't involved you can be as fickle as you like, right? Isn't that an unwritten rule of sports? Or maybe it IS written somewhere.

This IS NEWS?????? Honestly!

Come on, CNN, what about real news? For exmaple:

Mark Jacoby, whose firm was hired to register voters on behalf of the CA Republicans. Was arrested two nights ago, in Ontario on charges of........ VOTER FRAUD.

Petty, petty and more petty.

And McCain's running mate just revealed, once again, she has no clue what the VP does. She actually thinks the VP is "in charge" of the Senate. How much dumber can this chick get?

I guess this is the kind of thing McCain has to resort to when he is out of ideas and running out of time. We have an economic crisis and a host of other major problems on our hands and he is trying to get at Obama on this? Seems pretty silly and below a man of his character.

wow, now's he's reaching for anything he can get his hands on.

its the economy stupid, stay focused.

its funny that McCain talk that Obama is a socialist.....

Did not McCain take 80+ million dollars as a public financing to spread hate in his TV ads? At least Obama took the money from public who willingly gave to him. McCain took fed grant, tax payer's money, which includes mine as well and I did not intend it to give it to McCain.

must be a really slow news day to even print this.... on a more important topic, the economic summit Obama held in Florida this morning was excellent! I really appreciated hearing the ideas from the panel and learned a lot. It reminded me again how important it is for people to listen to one another and share ideas. The wisdom of the group is always greater than that of any one individual.

This guy is old and senile,pathetic and completely out of touch.

McCain your photo is next to the word FLIP -FLOP in the dictionary. You come up with a new "PLAN" every day. You just can't be trusted because you LIE and tell misleading stories.

You try to hide the bad news about Palin and her husbands connection to AIP. Yet you try to smear Obama about Ayers. Powell KNOWS YOU WELL and he is ashamed of what you have become.

America is ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU HAAVE BECOME

Ummm..... WHAT??? Being senile is a way of life John – just adjust to it.

Voters this is getting to be silly

THIS McCAIN GUY IS UN-FRIGGIN-REAL!!

Good lord is there anything this man won't try to attack Obama on? Has he not seen the video with the Tampa Bay Rays on stage with Obama where he says right to the team "I am cheering for Philly"?

Hey, McCain! It's not going to do the country any good that you and Palin get your base so enraged at Obama that some nut tries to do something stupid after he beats you in the election.

Hey Johnny, Boy are reaching now. It's really sad that you do not deal with real issues. What next? Are you going to support each team in each swing state to try and win votes? Go back to Arizona old white haired dude!!!

WOW – with two weeks left before election day, this is the best the McCain camp has??? Desperate!

I already voted but I can't WAIT until Nov. 4th when all this RIDICULOUSNESS from McCain/Palin will be over.

1) Is this what the McCain campaign has come down to? Attacking Obama on his choice of baseball team?
2) Hey CNN, slow news day or something?

Is this a slow news day or what? Is the campaign rhetoric being toned down out of respect for Sen. Obama's grandmother's medical condition?

Grasping at straws, poor John

Plus I can't believe that Palin actually likes baseball. She is in Alaska, and her husband being part of the independent Alaskan party must not care about what the lower 48 follows that being baseball.

oh dear.

Hmm, well, luckily for me, I don't base my vote on what sports team the guy likes.

McCain is really under the mud. I respected him once, now he has to find a life. What a turn-off, such a great hero, and dividing our country for a voter or two. C.F.M.A (Country First My A.@*)

Jesus of Nazareth McCain! You must be so stupid to keep waisting media time talking about who is rooting for who....Your a whining, senile old man......

Okay, McCain has lost it. Who gives a flying flip!!!!!!! And the worst thing is that CNN thinks this is news. Please God let November 4th get here quickly. I am so sick of this.

John McCain is lower than pond scum...or whatever feeds off of it. Absolutely no integrity whatsoever!

Does it really matter? He said hes a White Sox fan. I'm a Sox fan, and since our Sox are eliminated he is just going to watch the game. So some Rays players endorsed him. He just said that he wanted to get a mohawk it doesn't mean anything. It was a joke. McCain how bout you focus on real issues here. Not baseball, if we focused on baseball we could all talk about how your D-Backs blew a lead in the horrible NL West.

WHY ARE THE MARKETS SO UNSTABLE, YESTERDAY WE HAD A NICE START WEEK AND TODAY MARKETS ARE GETTING SHY AGAIN

Oh Geez. Its childish McCain and last time I checked you are not 7, you are 70+.
Talk abt issues.

All, PLEASE VOTE.
Its too important for us to vote no matter what candidate you support.

Sounds like Palin flip-flopped more than Obama

Can he get more insignificant, petty and low? Yes he can!

Oh geez, you know they're getting desperate when they start slinging mud over what baseball team they support. Who gives a rats about sports teams, what about real issues? If you have to resort to sports teams insults to try and win Pennsylvania, you know you've bottomed out. This isn't even news.

Is the McCain campaign honestly resorting to this? Are they THAT incredibly desperate?

8 yrs of Idiotlism is enough thanks McCain.

Obama '08

Oh Geez. Its chilish McCain and last time I checked you are not 7, you are 70+.
Talk abt issues.

All, PLEASE VOTE.
Its too important for us to vote no matter what candidate you support.

Desperate much? Seriously, if you think a Philly fan would vote against Obama because he welcomed support from players endorsing him, you're terrible.

Also to the fans that would think about doing that: stay away from the polls. If you base your vote on something stupid like that, you don't deserve to vote.

Really? Is this REALLY what it has come down to?

The McCain campaign might be better run by a bunch of McDonalds employees. At least they would have a sense of how to get in touch with the working man and woman.
