Political Punch

Yep, Howie, he's wrong, wrong, wrong. And if you nominate Obama, you still won't be able to beat him in November!

How do our candidates measure up?
John McCain, who is clearly aged, known to have experienced torture during his military service and probably has a degree of post traumatic stress syndrome, and a well known temper. Does this bode well for foreign policy?
Barack Obama, influenced for over 20 years by a man who clearly does not like America, nor Americans. And a wife who shows disdain for her husband. Not exactly an image I would portray to the world, esp when trying to send a message of unity for the dem and rep parties. Barack states he will discuss foreign policy with other world powers, but words dont exactly stop terrorism. And who holds the strings to this puppet? What exactly is his agenda anyway?!
Hillary Clinton, who is tenacious and willing to go the distance no matter how rough the going. Her major problem is a husband whose past exploits have cast shadow on his presidency and has a tendancy to do the same to hers. If she can deal with infidelity, she can deal with the rest of the world, at least domestic policy. She has a much harder road ahead than the two men due to gender and history. At least she doesnt whine about how difficult the road to election is because she is a woman.

Chris, you are right McCain is a war hero. I also think Kerry was a hero. I despised what the Republican party did to Kerry in 2004.

I disagree with your statement linking integrity and being a war hero. One thing has to do with serving in our armed forces and another has to do with political expediency. Dean attacked him on that politically and morally untenable switch about torture. Dean attacked him for not have a policy driven voting record in the Senate. Those things are fair game.

I am sickened when I hear people who have not serve in the military attack another person's courage and service to this country. Dean has not and I doubt he will attack McCain's military service record.

I think Dean said he wouldn't say McCain is old, but he is. Dean shouldn't have made that promise.

Reagan could never hear reporters questions. He went to bed early. Nancy gave him a few too many tips about what he should say. He was a comforting grandfather figure but his administration was a disaster for most of the freedoms we have (I am thinking Reinquest) and shrinking the middle class.

Age is an issue with McCain.

I don't like the comedians lampooning McCain constantly for his age, but it is a problem. Where are his health records?

Crazy train dean cannot keep his house in order: he cannot make his own candidates play nice so his only use is to mouth off at the GOP presumptive nominee.

He should have settled FL and MI like the RNC - give them half. His tactic, like the superdelegates, is to let it fix itself... they and he wants the title of leader without actually exercising leadership; waiting on the sidelines for the finger of God to come down and say "that one".

It's time for Dean to spend more time with his family.

Progressive Democrat,

Howard Dean is not the reason the Democrats took Congress in 2006. The credit must be given to George Bush and all his screw-ups in office.

I used to like Dean when he ran in 2004, I wouldn't have voted for him, but I admired the fact that he offered an alternative view from the candidates back in '03-04.

That being said, he really irritated me when I heard him on one of the Sunday shows say that McCain has no integrity. Give me a break. He might be the competition, but even Democrats admit he's a genuine hero. That statement from Dean made me realize he's such a partisan hack that it's sickening.

dean has been utterly ruthless in his attacks on Mc Cain, and it aint even the general election yet.

Talk about lowball. Look for this general election to be the season of the SWIFT BOAT.

2004 proved to be John Kerrys undoing due to the blueprint swiftboat.

2008, both sides are going to hammer each other with the lowest of low swiftboating on a massive scale. Its going to be far more depressing than exciting election.

Hey Democrats are in the past with these EEO and Affirmative Action programs. Why did the Democrats bend over backwards to honor Martin L King but never mentioned George Washington on Presidents day.

Just how wise was Howard Dean to state McCain is back in the 40's? FDR entered his third term as president. Harry Truman followed. Eisenhower commanded the troops in Europe. MacArthur and Nimitz led them in the Pacific. We won the war. There was the GI bill for soldiers returning.

McCain's age-health (physical/mental) is FAIR game!

McCain's age-health (physical/mental) is far more important an issue for America than the HARMLESS religious rhetoric of some pastor!

Thanks to Dean, the 50 state strategy is working. This is one of the reasons why Obama is beating Hilary and why Demos will beat GOP in the fall.

Dean is the best chair Democrats have in modern era.

Dean is a loser and a big mouth nothing who has made a mess out of the DNC and now he thinks he is qualified to comment on McCain? McCain is three times the man that Dean can ever be and more likable. Dean is so far up the obama campaign that you can bet he will pull something illegal just to get obama nominated. Then, with glee, I will await the landslide victory for McCain.
If Hillary Clinton isn't nominated, myself and thousands of the same mind will vote for McCain. Hillary can beat McCain and the Dems can get back in the White House. With obama, the Hamas is what we'll get in the White House. That and the white hating Michelle obama - my that will make a great First Lady.

Democrats are running for the good of the party not the country.

I think the 40s quip was referring to McCain talking about the need for the "League of Nations" to step in the Iran's situation yesterday.

Howard Dean is the number l reason the Democratic Party is in such a mess. He has not shown the leadership needed to move the party forward. We still have the Senator Obama campaign making very irresponsible promises and we have two VIP states whose votes are not being counted. Remember, Howard Dean, there are 50 stars on our flag, not 48. And if Obama wins, America loses.

Love how all these so called Democrats for Hillary

are bashing Dean on this blog.

You HAVE to be the biggest bunch of whiny

sissies I have EVER seen on blogs.

Boo-hooo!!!!

Get used to saying it folks.

President Barack Obama

Dean needs to shutup and stop distracting democratic voters from the task at hand. He is so in the tank for Obama it is disgusting.

And Clinton's back in the 90's.

Progressive,

That was like shooting fish in a barrel. If there had been someone competent in that position, it would have been more Senators. Dean isn't a feature, he's a bug.

Mr. Dean you mean the time where the US had just won WWII and was entering into a period of great economic growth? You mean that period right?

I have to think that Dr Dean is a smart man. It takes brains and study to be a doctor, but......this guy can't even run an election process and dashed his future in elective politics with a schoolboy scream. His type of politics is truly old school.

He is about -1 on the credibility scale.

Buford,

There are 6 FORMER GOP Senators who are no longer in office thanks to Howard Dean and his work in the 2006 elections. Go ask them about his effectiveness. LOL!!!!

This man (Dean) is an enormous gasbag. The things that come out of his mouth are just amazing. If I were head of the RNC, I would certainly be thankful to have such a nitwit as my opponent.
