(Chris Shays) Governing from the center does not fall solely on the President's shoulders. In order for any President to govern from the center, partisanship in the Congress must stop! All of Congress must look to the needs of the people/the country....NOT to the needs/creed of a party. Governing from the center also falls on the public's shoulders. As constituents, we must not look at a party and its creed. We must look at the good of the country and demand that Congress and the President do the same and work together. That is how a President can govern from the center. "...he remained skeptical the Illinois senator will govern from the center if he is elected president." (Chris Shays)

What happen to all people are equal that's stated in the Bible no one is above anyone. It doesn't matter if your green if you are the right person to run the United States then you run it. Why can't everyone sit down in a respectful way and communciate like we are all trying to fix the same problems. The problems in the world is not because some one is black or white, asia, etc. the things that are going on in the world today is attacking all. We are all affected. We as adults are sometime has to accept the good with the bad and stop pointing fingers. I must say this at first alot of people really back McCain saying alot of things about how he is, just look at the debates and his campaigning and see how angry he is. How do he respond to questions that his children ask him a question. Obama has conducted his self in a professional manner. McCain is bringing up this of him when he was a child he has no control over that he was a little boy! Everyone now sees how McCain and Palin is being so negative that's what shifting the election we have enough negative things going on in the world today. McCain nor Palin has talked about what is going on in the world today, they only respone to the things that Obama say and try to twist it around and look where it has got them. I respect what you say about McCain as being negative he did this to his self him and his VP. Now mark my words he will say negative things about you disagreeing with him. Look how he did Bush he is the one that is trying all sort of lying, stupid comments how do he exspect for people to vote for him. The ones that vote for McCain will be the ones who are Republicans no matter what and choose not to vote for a man because of his race. Everyone really needs to sit down and really look deep within theirselves and make a choose thats for them not because of the way they were raised or what their parents taught them. Think for yourself do you want the world to be like it has been for the last 8 years or do you want a change in all PEOPLE. God created all of us as equal if McCain and Obama was both cut on the arm what color is their blood? Sure as hell not black and the other white! It's red so they are no different from each other.

In other words he didn't do exactly what McCain wanted so he threw a temper tantrum in the form of vile and scary ads. Wow I guess his mother should put him in a time out. Obama had just gotten of many, many, many debates in the primary why did want to do 10 town halls, one a week that McCain had already set up for him ) which was the same thing. I lose more and more respect for McCain everyday. Now he and his mouthpiece are spewing again but this time McCain has more ties to this radical than Obama did. It hasn't done anything for him but make people not want him as President. No one wants someone running the country who is so negative. Obama offers Americans hope that we can rise up from this mess Bush and Rove has put us in and McCain does not give us anything but smears. You have no message. Good for Chris Shay and I predict a landslide and I'll bet McCain barely carries Arizaona if at all.

It's every Republican for themselves now, isn't it? They are turning on each other and exposing their true character in the process. The party is in shambles. The sad part is that anyone who sat back and took a longer view could have seen this coming. It started in earnest when the Republican party pandered to the religious right and they, in turn, hijacked the party's agenda. Witness the backlash in the comments on Senator Dole's latest ad attacking Ms Hagan. There was a good reason why our founding fathers wanted a clear, distinct separation between church and state. There was also a good reason why they wanted the power to be in the hands of all the people instead of a priviledged few. The Republicans lost sight of that over the last 28 years or so. They need to return to their ORIGINAL roots, the ones that go back 150 years or more and rebuild their party without the undue influence of the elite, the special interests, and the right to run your lifers.

America is in a hard Position at the moment as far as the whole world is concern and it needs a steady and reasonable Commander to re-enstate America's Reputition. That is why I think with Obama with his present Advisers and well Organised Campaign, which had never been seen in Present day Politics can move with this modern times to fight back and turn things round.
