The McCain Pitch

I'd love to see a McCain/Clinton ticket!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!!!

"This election isn't about Obama. Or McCain. Its about us. America. The Economy. Health Care. Education."
( POSTED BY ALBERT )

EXACTLY!!!

Who we really need is HILLARY!.

But the broken DNC decided early on that we should try someone new and refreshing.... someone who has NEVER won a "clean" election in his adopted state of Illinois, someone who has an abundance of Pastors to cling to .. then subsequently toss under the bus along with his typical white grandmother!

Someone who uses his magnetism to draw a questionable complement of unsavory associates such as Raila Odinga (for whom he campaigned during his rather bloody election in Kenya ), Rashid Khalidi, Reverend Meeks, Nachmi Auchi,
William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn.

Oh yes... don't exclude Jermemiah Wright; I;m sure he'll be back in the picture as soon as the primary is over.

Was the 15,000,000 dollars which had been ear-marked for Obama's church used to pay Wright off?

He received a $10,000,000 pension plus a spanking new multi-million dollar home

And what about separation of church and state? Is this part of the change Obama always calls for?

How about the $1,000,000 earmarked for Michelle's employer.... and the hefty raise she was granted in appreciation of same? Does that sound kosher to you?

And how can you compare B O's health plant with Hillary's?

Hillary's covers 100 percent of our citizens; his leaves 15,000,000 people out in tthe cold!

And what unique ideas has Bozo come up with to jumpstart the economy...I mean ideas that you haven't heard elsewhere?

Face it!

The DNC is broken!

Hillary none the less won the popular vote!

The DNC is still trying to force-feed us a nominee who is sorely lacking in the qualities many of us require in a candidate...... like the ability to think and talk sensibly on the spot and without the benefit of a teleprompter!

If we cannot have Hillary then
I, at least feel no compunction to
cross the political line and vote for
McCain.

What would be truly wonderful, if she would go along with it, would be for her to accept the vice presidency under Mccain! That WOULD be a dream team!

COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY!!!

Also did you notice that Clinton won many states where she was outspent 3-4 to 1
---------------------
Amy, you missed the point. Obama kept spending so Hillary would have to spend as well. She was broke early on, so Hillary had to pull money from states she couldn't win to keep up with Obama in the ones she could. He was then able to spend in states where she had pulled her resources. That's how Obama made up delegates - by increasing his margins in states he won. He used this strategy and negated wins in PA etc...

Not trying to diss Sen Clinton, but her campaign was poorly managed early on and they spent frivilously to impress the old school big donors.

It's about strategy and Obama's campaign was outstanding in the primary.

They'll take it to McCain a different way because the GE is a different type of election. But McCain will be easier to beat. As much as people think the country is split, the vast majority are fed up with the GOP and how they've run this nation into the ground just to benefit the select few in the top tier.

Anybody got the numbers from the DNC for the amount of people that have changed party in the last week?

McCain 08!

McCain is kidding himself if he believe California, Connecticut and New Jersey will go Red.

There's a reason NC, VA, MS etc Southern States are swing states this year. The AA vote. If there's a HIGH turnout of AA for Obama we might see a landslide for Obama.

I will not vote for anyone this November. I don't like McCain, but I know that I detest Obama. I can tolerate four more years of Mccain and wait for Hillary in 2012.

Keep on trucking West Coast....

No Bama 2008. Hey what happens to write in votes?

Gee Jake

If you take the combined RNC and recent McCain funds and put them together...and if you take the Obama and the DNC funds and put them together aren't they pretty close at cash on hand?

Also did you notice that Clinton won many states where she was outspent 3-4 to 1...And Mitt Romney lost despite the fact that he was spending more than anyone.

I know that the DNC thinks that money will buy them this election...but I'm not convinced of it.

Senator John Sidney McCain: Our 44th US President

U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Md., graduated 1958 near the bottom of his class. The yearbook said: "Sturdy conversationalist and party man. John's quick wit and clever sarcasm made him a welcome man at any gathering.

Grades: McCain: "I never got good grades."

P.U.M.A. Dem,

Are you talking about McCain? I'm surprised you make such negative comments about the Republican Candidate.

"Character assassination with one-line distortions won't be effective like they were with Kerry"
To be character assasination, there must be character in the first place.
Voting 'present' everytime there's some defining issue, throwing family and friends under the bus as you go along, playing the victim while your surrogates play the race card, where's the character?

The Republican InstantPundits are kinda missing the point. This election isn't the 2004 election. The issues are different. Character assassination with one-line distortions won't be effective like they were with Kerry.

This election isn't about Obama. Or McCain. Its about us. America. The Economy. Health Care. Education.

Perhaps your polls about the limited turnout by younger voters is correct. Perhaps not.

Baby Boomers are a different group, however. Contrary to the Republican belief, Baby Boomers aren't easily led around by the nose and automatically vote along party lines. Baby Boomers are some of the most informed people and capable of making their own choices. Surprise, that choice will be made on the issues, not on defamatory labels.

i will make sure mccain has that kind of money. hillary or bust!

Just looked at the PowerPoint. I don't think Obama Girl is going to be able to put together anything that looks like real data. Also, Obama's campaign works by the seat of their pants and off of luck, so the lucky days may be over now that they are up against the machine that has won 70% of the last 10 elections. Not looking good for the Dems since Hillary was shot down. I suppose the mistake can be rectified come 2012.

Hillary/Bloombert Write-in 2008
========================================

WestCoastMessenger:

George W. Bush should actively campaign for John McCain. McCain is going to need all the financial backing he can muster if he is to win California, and Bush is his star supporter. Just imagine how many people would flock to a dinner / fund raiser with the current President! McCain is really missing an important opportunity.

Obama just keeps talking about issues. Let him. McCain needs to raise money for his campaign. He can't be bothered with issues now. If he could get G.W. Bush to do his campaigning for him, he'd have time to fend off Obama's arguments about the current issues.

McCain is running on a platform of continuing Bush's policies; so why not take advantage of it? Capitalize on the successes of the Bush era and have G.W. Bush help him campaign.

The reality check is :
McCain will beat Obama in november.
Over 60% of the register voters didn't
vote on primaries.Most of them were
whites.To get real data check the register voters of each state.
Most of those voters will vote McCain.
I believe McCain will win landslide
in november.

The problem of the economy as an issue is it is like sitting at a crowded table eating an expensive meal; the crowd blames the restaurant, the waiter is asking if anyone wants more, the chef wants a compliment but no one wants to pick up the check.

Obama's weakness is he projects the feminization of America and that isn't a sexist or racial issue. It is leftist and this is a right-center country except for the millenials and they aren't nearly as large a voting bloc as the baby boomers who are increasingly conservative and had enough of rock stars about the time hip-hop was born.

Belle Star,
Surely you are not serious. Another Bush would be a complete poison pill for McCain. The rest of the Bushes are going to have to wait forty years before they get another shot at a top spot, and then it will be a long shot.

End the madness, Hillary Clinton/Bloomberg Write-in 2008
=======================================

Len,
Ditto, Obama's rock star days are starting to dwindle, he and his troops know longer have Hillary to pummel to show how bad he really is. All he and his camp can do is figure out ways to attack McCain with sly insults aimed at his POW and war hero status. Obama certainly doesn't have any sense about the economy to discuss, but except for the no pork position, McCain doesn't either. No pork may do it, though. Somebody has to put a stop to runaway government before we turn into a third world country ruled by anarchy.
=======================================
Don't blame me, I'm not voting for Obama or McCain.

Well, both "presumptive" candidates claim to be "post-partisans", so maybe they could SHARE Neil Bush for VP -- he's younger than McCain, not as pretty as Obama (and any dimming of the Anointed One's "brightness", however marginal THAT may be, shouldn't be a problem, either).
