My favorite part was when Fey (as Palin) was hawking Palin 2012 wares.

Sure, he's a pretty good sport on SNL. But he should not be President. Obama is way more cool, calm, and collected and I don't think anyone can dispute that by this point.
Two more days, everybody. VOTE.

OK! McCain will be a comedian an Obama will be a president for the next 8 years! That`s fine for me!

Obama 08

McCain was booed during the Weekend Update!!!

also, why are people not talking about How Palin did not know who the Prime Minister of Canada was during the prank call??

McCain was a good sport. He was not real funny. Tina Fey was the funny one. It was just nice to see him not blasting Obama with hateful lies.

SNL? Saturday Night Dead more like it. Funny as they were, these skits did nothing for Mccain's campaign, merely emphsizing that it is running on fumes and that he and Palin are out of ideas and time. The Candian comedians who got one over on Palin by impersonating Sarkosy should also be mentioned, once again glaringly showing her inexperience and naivete regarding foregn ploicy matters.

It was really funny because the McCains are a joke.

Obama 08

Nice performance, Senator. I enjoyed it. Why are we not seeing this part of you on the campaign trail?

Senator McCain, your party has been over for quite some time now. As usual, the Repugs think everything is a joke and funny. I see nothing funny in what is happening in our world today. And stop complaining that you don't have enough money. Why don't you just ask your wife for some? Oh, but maybe she wants to keep it all to herself. She appears to be a selfish person and doesn't qualify to be a First Lady. I just read the article about your first wife, Carol. You should be ashamed, and I don't think you have a decent bone in your body. You have lost all respect. It also shows in your pick for V.P. She is just as pathetic as you are. You just picked her thinking that you might get Hillary Clinton supporters on your side. NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! This Hillary Clinton supporter (and loads of others) are smart enough to NOT fall for it. I have already voted for Obama/Biden and they will be in the White House!!! Time for you to retire in one of your many houses.

McCain's genuinely warm SNL appearance perfectly illustrates the tragedy of this election: That his campaign has taken what was an honorable, moderate, resonable man, and forced him to run an awfully hostile campaign full of fear-mongering, and ad hominen attacks.

McCain is a good man at his core, but has been suckered by the right wing lunatics down a path to defeat and ignominy. I wish he'd taken the campaign in a different direction.

This is by far the best I have seen McCain and it fits that he is makiong a joke out of hisself cause know you see what the campaign is all about. Larry King, your so great!

We did get glimmers of the old Senator McCain during this campaign. When he corrected the 'crazy lady' at a rally and said some true words and several other times, but THIS performance on SNL was the MOST sustained picture of the old McCain we've had and he was marvelous! The fact that he could even run the kind of campaign he has, disallows most of us to vote for him, but at least as Senator Biden said, "He is ending on a high note with a better tone." It was especially interesting to watch him dis his running mate big time!

"a Rep. without money"-yeah right. Very funny. Just another LIE.

OBAMA/BIDEN

I voted early-vitally important that EVERYONE VOTES. Polls don't count-only VOTES count.

Hasn't his whole campaign been one big joke anyway ?

McCain and Palin shouldnt have gone on SNL. The skits, for the most part, have not been funny or helpful to their campaigns. SNL has been outwardly biased for Obama. Republicans foolishly keep thinking main stram media will do the "right thing" and be fair. When will they learn

I saw the skit. McCain was very down to earth and funny. As usualy Tina Fey nailed Palin. The skit showed a different side to McCain but it didn't change my mind about voting for him.

Obama/Biden 2008

I watched Sen. McCain and he was very funny. It certainly didn't change me from an Obama supporter but it's great to see politicians who can laugh at themselves. I also appreciated seeing Sen. McCain with a smile on his face and a light hearted demeanor. He's really been lacking that in this campaign.

Didn't watch it........I have all ready voted and it sure wasn't for the white haired dude.............

Sorry, I fail to see how this helped McCain in any way, and why was CINDY there TOO ? cant he even go to bathroom without Cindy? guess maybe Cindy is afraid he might do same thing to her that he did his 1st wife, although at his age now, he most likely doesnt have any sex drive left either...this was one of worst SNL shows I have seen..Palin ( Tina Fey) going aside to hawk the Palin for 2012 shirts was probably close to truth..oh well, ho hum, maybe next week SNL will do better...

I saw on internet where Sarah Palin was fooled to believe that she was on phone with the French President. How crazy is that. This is the woman that will be a heart beat away from the president. This whole idea of her in Washington, DC has to be a joke. Are we being punked.

Its OK to launch negative attacks, lie, smear and do whatever it takes to win.

Then its OK to joke about it.

This is elitism in its most ugly way.

Polls show that 80% of us outside the US, being neither Democrat nor Republican, want Obama to win. I wonder why.

this entire campaign has been A BIG JOKE to mccain and palin, WELL MCCAIN PALIN AMERICA DESERVES BETTER, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN, VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN

Great humor! SNL has set new standards for political satire. McCain was simply great...the best moment for him as a candidate. However, the humor that wasn't much to laugh at was the prank on Sarah Palin. She just could not get it despite the many clues that the Canadian pranksters led her to.

It worrying that this lady could be a heartbeat away from the Presidency!

Thought it was cute. I'm an Obama supporter but it was refreshing to see McCain as he once was. The hunt to win, and the far right, have changed this man. If he had stuck with his core, and picked a VP not just satisfy pro-life people, he probably would have won this election.

Too little, too late, do we see the funny human side of McCain. Like Kerry and Gore before him, he felt he had to act "Presidenital" all the time, and came across as a mean old man.

This should have been McCain's election, but he chose bad advisors who told him to go negative and nasty. At this time in our country, we want someone to heal and help, not divide and smash.

Any idiot can tear down a house....

Unfortunately, this campaign isn't about comedy.

Now...there's a much more likeable McCain...

Totally different attitude than in his campaign...

Why hasn't he been able to show this on the trail ?

I may not agree with McCain being the next President of the United States of America, but no one can say he doesn't have a sense of humor. I'll give him that anyway.

Guess nothing left for the GOP to do in the last two days of the campaign but provide humor, they never had a serious message to tell, Palin effigy in UK should be a sad note on how this group is viewed by our allies in the rest of the world..

I appreciate that he can poke fun at himself however for me it was another somewhat questionable judgment call to be doing the show this close to the election. I am tired of the world being unable to take our President seriously. I just don't think it was appropriate this close to the election.

I just noticed McCain camp has, once again, flip-flopped on his decision to "not go there" on Wright. Just saw an in-your-face Obama smear ad featuring the Rev. on MSNBC.

McCain = dishonor

McCain is a hack. Palin is a moron.

I am not impressed each time McCain or Palin decides to pander to the popular media by appearing on shows like this and not even genuinely doing anything – but reading things other people have written for them. It was a condescending little paw at America like they are saying "Look. We have more money than you could ever possibly own, multiple houses and think you are so stupid that you need to be told what to think – but we are exactly like you!" Please. Disappear McCain/Palin.

In fact, I just now – literally as I was typing this – I saw a GOP ad against Obama featuring Rev. Wright.

Not only do I have no respect left for the GOP or any of it's members, but I have abject hatred. With all the negative campaigning and outright lies, you have succeeded in electing Barack Obama president, republicans. And I thank you for it.

Missourian for Obama/Biden '08.

HE JOKED ON SNL, RUNS HIS CAMPAIGN LIKE A JOKE AND THAT IS THE WAY MCCAIN WOULD RUN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.

ITS TIME FOR A REAL LEADER, A STRONG AND RESPECTED AMERICA BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY THAT WILL UNITE ALL AMERICANS.

VOTE FOR LIBERITY AND A DEMOCRACY FOR WE THE PEOPLE. THE RIGHT WING REPUBLICANS MUST GO!

OBAMA 08

Good for him it looks like he had fun.

Go Obama 08

I bet he´ll be meeting with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears next...
Too bad now he had to be with the "LIBERAL MEDIA" to get his message across....

Sure made me laugh (although that "Live from New York it's SNL" was kind of weak)...but I'm still not voting for you!

Good luck joining Big Dubya Bush in his ranch in January!

I think John McCain is a better man than his sleazy campaign strategies indicate. It raises the question of who he surrounds himself as advisors and would the Karl Rove mafia be in a McCain White House. Sorry, John. I've voted Obama.

It was refreshing to hear McCain being humerous, not talking trash about Obama & the DEMs!
I cannot help but wonder how this man is going to be accepted by both parties when he goes back to the senate.

MCCAIN IS THE MAN. OBAMA IS THE BOY.

what do you expect from a warrior...............................
to surrender just like dat............................... hell no
he has to do different thing to appeal to people, i think he really need it.
as for me i am a republican but i am not going to vote for mccain b'coz of his reckless position on the issues facing america. and i can never vote obama b coz he isa democrate and i think he is a scam.

McCain does not need to seek acceptance from those whom he will defeat.

Whatever-get to the issues, McCain.

If McCain looses the election, maybe he could have his own comedy central show.. His own campaign has been a total joke, he could take Palin with him to his Comedy Central called the Maverick Show and still trying to get into the White House....

Obama/Biden08/12

It had its good moments, but man, I can't hide my disdain when I see John McCain. Country first? Then why would you choose a VP who you barely knew, and who is totally unqualified to be president? Now THAT is putting your own political aspirations above the good of the country.

I enjoyed it .. Go John.. you did go

McCain looked as stiff as the dolls Tina Fey was trying to sell.

The Palin punk'd tape is funnier.

Poking fun at himself this close to the election...?

D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E.

McKnucklehead is a funny guy, a loyal soldier, and maybe even a great senator....but we're electing a President!!

McCain's whole campaign has been a joke. He and Palin should find themselves a different line of work.

McCain makes ANOTHER bad choice. What was he thinking?????? He was humiliated.......and doesn,t even realize it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought McCain did pretty well, but you could tell he was disgusted that his campaign had been reduced to making fun of itself on national television.

What a joke for John McCain to be on SNL. He and Sarah should be clowns for circus instead of running the government. We don't want these clowns in White House.

John McCain & Sarah Palin are not trustworthy just like President Bush & Vice President Cheney.
