Political Punch

I'm not an Obama supporter, but I can readily admit that the Obama team has been very intelligent and has handled this race exceedingly well. It is with that thought in mind that I say that Biden is the logical choice for VP. He's smart, he's a straight-talker, he has foreign policy experience, and he can give Obama some credibility.

On the downside, he completely flies in the face of the items Obama's been touting - he voted for the war and he is representative of a long political career. He also is clearly ego-centric, which Obama recently stated is something he's not interested in.

I have to say that I was a Biden supporter before he dropped out of the primary, at which time I switched to Clinton's side. Now I have no use for either of them, frankly. I've lost all respect for those who support a candidate for president who is completely unqualified and unable to lead our country. So to me, as a former Clinton supporter, it wouldn't matter if he chose her or Biden or some shmuck he pulls off the street - I'm voting McCain.

For those of you who choose to call Hillary supporters "sore-losers," I think you had better take another gander at the polls. I think we were the ones who had it right in the first place; it is your guy BHO who cannot not even gain a solid double digit lead over a "fossil," as someone so eloquently put it, in a year where the Democrats should be cleaning house. I think a lot of you are starting to realize that you supported the wrong guy but you are to tender hearted to admit it! Oh well, there's always 2012 when a REAL Democrat will run for President and will win!

Hillary 2012

Anybody, but Hillary. Otherwise, she'll see her entitlement to run the show and Bill Clinton by claiming experience will even attempt to get the chair back in the oval room. Enough with them or let grandpa McCane take over.

McCain 08/Hillary 12...nice fantasy for the sore losers and bitter enders. If Hillary is perceived as having helped defeat a fellow Democratic, she won't stand a chance in hell of being nominated in 2012. Speaking as a New Yorker, she might not even be able hold onto her Senate seat.

You do realize the state of NY is bigger than the city of NY dont you. Brooklyn is a very small part of a big state..

JD: There were at least 2 terrorist attacks on US soil during Clinton. The World Trade Center bombing by radical Muslims. Everyone involved was rounded up and put in jail. Then there was the Oklahoma City bombing by a Republican. McVeigh and Nichols were arrested, but there never was any good investigation into how high their connections went. I'm not saying Gingrich or Cheney were involved, but I never heard them deny it or speak out against the attacks.

Since 9/11, there have been a few attacks. Nothing like 9/11, but there was the anthrax attacks, attacks on the green zone, and Bush will tell us every time an Iraqi shot a gun it was a terrorist attack on the US. So, it's hardly accurate to say there have been no terrorist attacks since 9/11

I'm sick of the whole thing. Am beginning to feel "used" by the Obama campaign. This is dragging on and on and one begins to feel less enthused and more angry about the way they are going to email you the vp choice....just to get more names and more money. I feel duped and disgusted!

He needs to pick Hillary, he's down in the polls, took a stupid vacation, stuttered his way through the conversation on Saturday night and will pprobably pick another light weight for his running mate. I WAS EXCITED about this guy and never really supported Hillary, but unfortunately, he needs her.

I'm bored and disgusted with the whole hiped up nonsense. It's getting old.

I think Hillary dumped Obama, not the other way around, because she wants to campaign in 2012. Kathleen Sebelius? I dunno. She might like her current job as is. That leaves the guys. In that case, I'm more interested in who McCain picks as a running mate, given that I don't know very much about the three men on Obama's alleged short list.

Means nothing. He'll probably flipflop to "she" tomorrow.

How anyone can talk about voting for McCain is beyond me. A man that leaves his wife and two kids for another woman is definitely not qualified to lead. How can anyone vote for someone that voted against a holiday for a man that gave his life trying to get basic civil rights for others. If McCain becomes president we are in for a longer four years than the eight we're already in.

McCain 08/Hillary 12...nice fantasy for the sore losers and bitter enders. If Hillary is perceived as having helped defeat a fellow Democratic, she won't stand a chance in hell of being nominated in 2012. Speaking as a New Yorker, she might not even be able hold onto her Senate seat.

Nick - don't start whining about Hillary, it makes you look childish. The facts remain: The Primaries are over. Hillary Lost. Barack Won. And due to the sneaky, snide, off-handed remarks she and Bill have been making about Barack since Hillary lost the primaries, I wouldn't want a Clinton in my administration either. It's bad enough that the Clintons have weaseled their way into the convention like it's "all about them." Hillary will never get my vote if she ever attempts another run for the whitehouse. NEVER.

OBAMA 08/12

Obama's first "Challange" were the Clintons.....and what did he do ??? He caved in and let the Clintons rule the democratic convention. Hillary was all washed up and still kept spending and spending and now wants Obama to pay her bills.....will he ??? And what about this Senator from Indiana ???? A Stone cold Hillary supporter and yet he is being considered to be Obama's VP ?????
From my point of view, seems like Obama is kissing a lot of Clinton Booty....Can't have the Clinton's calling the shots......my vote will now be for McCain.

McCain for 2016' oh, wait the guy is a fossil.

"Give President Bush a little credit for the fact that the US has not had another 9/11 and maybe the interrogation techniques used had gitmo may have had something to do with that fact."
________________________________________

Another 9/11? Exactly how many attacks were perpetrated on US soil (continental US that is) before 9/11? Yup you got it 1 and only 1 (unless you want to include Pearl Harbor). So in 232 years there have been 2 or possibly 3 attacks on the US by terrorists but Republicans want you to believe that we live in Israel and they are going to happen weekly.

I'll give Bush credit for vacationing and dismissing the intelligence which if acted on may have stopped the attacks. Bush gets credit for doing little aside from killing soldiers for oil and permitting Osama Bin LAden to run free because if captured he would have no excuse to run roughshot over the world............. one has to be ither blind or just plain ignorant not to see it.

Now we have McCain saying he won't sleep until he captures Osama Bin Laden? Where have you been the past 7 years McCain? Now that you're running for President and it makes a good soundbite you care about Bin Laden? You've done and said nothing to make that a reality yet we're suppossed to trust your record and experience? The only experience I see is a record of caring more about iraqi oil than American soldiers or Osama Bin Laden. Who does this man think he's kidding?......... aside from the mindless uneducated religious righties?

If republicans chose Bush over McCain in 2000 because Bush was best of the two. Now the best candiddate of 2000 Mr Bush leaves us in this terrible state.

What should we expect from the second Best candidate of 2000. (logically, your expectations of MCCain should be lower than what you expected from Bush, which is more pity).

Thats pure Logic no reasoning.

McCain 2008!!!!!

He or She, I am still voting for McCain. McCain 2008!!!

I didn't realize the blog on ABC's website bled so red. What is wrong with you people?

Do you not realize the past 8 years have been hell for us Americans. Our gas is higher than ever, innocent people are dying in Iraq -- a war of lies, the federal budget deficit is greater then it ever has been, our health crisis is absurd, the taxes levied to the rich are unfair compared to the rate of the poor, the unemployment rate is sky high, and the housing crisis has struck nationwide. Explain to me: where do you get off putting down Senator Obama -- a man who wants to try something new to revive the country. Where do you get off supporting McCain, who has sided with GW Bush on nearly ever governmental failure in the past 8 years.

For the sanctity of this nation and for the future of our children, we need Barack Obama as our president.

Obama '08.

The question is are you in much better shape than you were eight year ago.

No Hillary, no vote from me. She clearly earned it and if he can't be trusted to do the right thing with her then he can't be trusted to do anything. I'll write her in as a write-in vote. He obviously doesn't need us Hillary supporters to vote for us- he thinks he can win anyway. Good luck- he'll need it!
