Political Punch

I think it is a shame that the media is not being fair. They have decided that Obama should win including this station. That makes them bias and NOT being fair on how they present the facts. SHAME on ABC. You are suppose to present the news in truth, not cut to their views.

I think this station, the lying big mouths of the view have lead you stay on truth. Ayers, Wright are important. It shows this stations candidate has awful judgement. He is dangerous to America. He lies about tax credits. 44% of people do not pay taxes so my money is giving to welfare. This station and the lying witches from the view are liars!

First time I saw him in this kind of interview. I'm surprised cause he looks much younger and vital than during the P debate. On the other hand he has a problem controlling his temper. I'm not sure if this is a negative thing. Could be that (from a Dutch point of view) Americans support this attitude.

The media has clearly chosen who they would have win this election, and it is not McCain.
This needs to be put up side by side to other interviews and footage showing the same journalistic habits of attacking the republican ticket on sites like newser and newsy so that it this bias will become more clear to America.

This is how someone with class deals with people who are so obviously biased against him. I think McCain like so many other people are amazed at the level of bias and sometimes yes, even stupidity of the questions asked by him. He still answers the questions but he gets his point across very strongly. I don't think I'm alone in admiring McCain for the person he is. On the boards, less name calling and more sticking to the issues would be nice.

In response to Brooklyn Democrat comment (4th comment @ 12:31) - I too went to school in Iowa. I think you sat next to me in civics class.

OBAMA MEDIA BIAS ... NOW, OBAMA DEBATE BIAS !!!
The nation already is skeptical about the fairness and objectivity of the mainstream media regarding election coverage ... so, why in the world is Gwen Ifill the debate moderator, when she is writing a book about Obama ... especially since her book sales would increase if Obama/Biden win? The moderator in a debate ... especially one of this importance and magnitude ... should be seen as completely fair, objective and above reproach. This is a terrible choice, and could easily have been remedied by choosing from hundreds of other more objective potential moderators. I can imagine the outcry if Michelle Malkin, or Ann Coulter was chosen as the moderator for the first Vice Presidential debate between Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. FURTHERMORE ... Everyone knows that Roland Martin is in the tank for Obama ... and regarding his call for Palin to either 'put up, or shut up' ... for millions of Americans, we still feel that Obama never adequately explained why he chose to spend TWENTY YEARS, yes TWENTY YEARS, in Jeremiah Wright's anti-American, racist, black liberation church, which gave a life time achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, and Obama only quit the church due to public outrage and personal ambition.

Give em' more hell John. No way do you have to take their Liberal bs!!

I watched the video of the interview and I would be irate also. They ask a question, he answers, they don't like his answer so keep asking the question 2 or 3 times with him giving the same answer time and again. I guess they were hoping for a Gotcha moment, but they failed.

Someone should tell McCain he's not running for King. I hope this video gets wide circulation in Iowa. I went to school there...Iowans don't take kindly to "testiness" and can smell hypocricy at 500 paces.

Why does John McCain do that strange thing with his tongue all the time?

Kind of creeps me out - he must have been a Slytherin at Hogwarts.

lol

"Still waiting for someone to ask Obama a tough question."

Kitty, where have you been? Obama came through a gruelling primary where all sorts of tough questions were hurled at him. He went to the O'Reilly Factor, that lions den of conservative ideology, and came out unscathed. Lets face it: Obama is a much better leader than John McCain. And no amount of belly-aching will change that!

When McCain started his campaign for president against Obama, I really expected more out of him based on his promises. But then why in the world would I expect a Repub or any politician to be truthful, but he did say he would run a clean campaign and he hasn't. His ads are ugly, not issue based in many cases and are just ugly attack ads full of lies. I did not expect that from him. So much for honor.

Sounded decisive to me.

Still waiting for anybody to ask Obama anything like a tough question.

American press is definitely the biggest loser out of this election, the coverage of the primaries was hopelessly biased (I ended up feeling sorry for Hillary even though as a politician I dont like her)and it has become even worse since.

I don't see McCain as being angry, the questions are a little one sided and you can obviously tell who these editors are supporting (it isn't McCain) As for question number 3, that is just stupid, he is a vet and has had and always will have taxpayer financed health care, part of the deal. Sounds like a bunch of people trying to make something of nothing.

My suggestions for questions to Palin during the debate:

1. Who was the first president of the United States?

I would give her an extra 5 minutes to come up with the answer.

2. What state is named after the first president of the United States?

Limit this one to 5 minutes.

FYI - The military in Alaska is under the command of Alaskan Command who is under the direct command of U.S. Pacific Command in Hawaii. I was stationed at PACOM from 1994 until I retired from the military in 1999.
Palin is full of it!

Jake, nobody made an issue of Bill Clinton's lack of foreign policy non-experience, nor other presidents before him. In fact, very few presidents who were elected to office had little to none foreign policy experience. Why don't you do a few article on this topic and stop making such an issue of it yourself.

I think that he gets tired of the same stupid questions and that 0bama gets none of these questions when applied to himself ..... but hey. Just an observation.

Concerned Democrat - Right, you're as much a Democrat as I am a pinhead republican.

I have been a republican all my life and love the flag, my gun and cigarettes. I have spent my entire life taking care of myself. I am a disciple of self. Self interest, self importance, self denial and self destruction. Did I mention that I can be conned by my party and will say and do anything to get my candidate elected. Heck I don't even care that my party would rig the election, because the ends always justify the means.

I am here to say that bush is a moron, mccain is a senile moron and pallin is a small-town hick moron. In this election I am voting for Obama because I have seen the light and had a change of heart.

Sen. McCain has to prove that he is different from George Bush. It is very very hard to do if you supported him more than 75% of the time. He gained some by voting that way. Now he must stand up and be prepared to pay for it.

Those darn questions... McCain was down 15 in Iowa. Make that 20.

Looks like the "register" invited McCain to a baseball game and tried to use the bat on him in a most personal and impolite way. I thought his answers we to the point, no umms and ahhs, a bit snippy but fairly accurate.

Maccain looks like a surly old man.
In the begining, I even had respect for him.
But now, I lost all respect and even don't feel pity for him!

He looks really miserable and angry, and at the end of the clip, he tried to smile, but so awkward...

He must feel that he has no more chance to get momentum, he already tried so many cards... Celebrity Ad, Pick of Palin, Suspension of Campaign... it will not work anymore,,, American people have now immmune to his circus.

John McCain is becoming a national joke. He is a clown.

If the US elections were to be won by bloggers....mars would be a safer bet to live in !!!!!

O ....has that going for him.O nly that.

If Iowa was not already in Obama's column, it most certainly is now.

He reminds of Tom Cruise's ridiculous character during the interview scene in "Magnolia". I was ready for him to just stop talking and stare past the interviewers, "silently judging" them.

The bottom line is that this is not Presidential demeanor. I do not want this man near the nuke code. He loves to hate, and I'm sorry, but that's not OK. Look at his eyes--he literally wants to stab these journalists. That is not something to be admired in a leader. That is something the Taliban would approve of. We need a cool, level head in the White House. Imagine if he or Cheney were Pres during the early days of the Cold War. The way he's provoking Russia right now, we may get an idea of what that scenario would've been like if anyone elects this angry ass. I looked at the Des Moines Register website, and it's interesting to note that he only got angry with the questions asked by women. Before whiner GOP'ers cry foul by the media, note that this paper's editorial board endorses McCain.

I think John is just giving up at this point. It amazing how many people are jumping to "questions they need to ask Obama" when this video had nothing to do with Obama. Dems can say, why don't they ask McCain about Keaton 5? Partisan arguments still don't explain his temper in this video. It's just becoming a sad day.

On the other hand, you have to like someone who stands up for what he believes in a no nonsense way. One of the clips questioned whether the straight talk express was still on the track. I think Senator McCain set these partisan nitpickers straight on that point. Can you imagine the waffling, hemming and hawing of the O-man if he should be similarly questioned? Oh my!

Asked about Herritage's statement, Palin's foreign policy adviser, Steve Biegun, insisted the candidate's position was correct. Russia's "old behaviors" of aggressively flying into U.S. airspace have been exhibited recently, he said.

"Governor Palin told me that when Russian aircraft buzz American airspace and U.S. aircraft are mobilized at Elmendorf Air Force Base, she is informed by her National Guard commander," said Biegun, who did not offer any additional explanation for the contradiction.

"The point she was making is that the geographical location of Alaska has unique attributes. This doesn't happen to many states in the union," Biegun said. "Her point was that she's pretty up close to some of the big issues of international affairs."

Herritage said Air Force officials discussed with Palin instances of Russian planes entering the buffer zone and the U.S. response during their annual statehouse briefing in February.

It could not immediately be determined how many times Palin had been notified in real time of Russian planes having entered the buffer zone. Major General Craig E. Campbell, the adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, did not immediately return calls and e-mails.

3 weeks ago:

And while the Alaska National Guard operates a launch site for a US antimissile system at Fort Greely, about 100 miles south of Fairbanks, the Alaskan governor is not in the site's chain of command and has no authority over its operations, according to Major General Craig E. Campbell, the adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard who commands the roughly 3,800 state militia members.

Gov. Sarah Palin cites vigilance against Russian warplanes coming into U.S. airspace over Alaska as one of her foreign policy credentials. But the U.S. military command in charge says that hasn't happened in her 21 months in office.

"When you consider even national security issues with Russia, as (Prime Minister Vladimir) Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where — where do they go? It's Alaska," the Republican vice presidential nominee said in an interview last week with CBS News' Katie Couric.

The spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign, Maria Comella, clarified in an e-mail to The Associated Press that when "Russian incursions near Alaskan airspace and inside the air defense identification zone have occurred ... U.S. Air Force fighters have been scrambled repeatedly."

The McCain ticket deserves to lose when they let Ifill be moderator of the VP debate knowing that she has a book about Obama due out in early 2009 and has a financial stake in seeing him elected. What can they be thinking? Apparently not too clearly.

Concerned in OH:

contrary to what you might think, I am not 'pro-abortion', there should be as few as possible which is why reproductive education should be enhanced in schools, and assuming rape or incest is an issue, there should be no restrictions on a women gaining access to a 'morning after' pill.

The question is who gets to decide what's right for a women. We can argue all night about fetal viability and whether someone's view of 'life begins at conception' is vaild.

That still doesn't address the issue of whether a women has the freedom to decide what's right for her. I believe a women has that right.

Of concern to McCain's campaign, however, is a remaining and still-undisclosed clip from Palin's interview with Couric last week that has the political world buzzing.

The Palin aide, after first noting how "infuriating" it was for CBS to purportedly leak word about the gaffe, revealed that it came in response to a question about Supreme Court decisions.

After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases.

There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence.

stainam,

Does John McCain still believe that Czechoslovakia exists?

In another clip, when McCain is asked how he can restore trust in American government if some of his campaign charges are not completely true, he doesn't hide his displeasure with the question.

"Because I have always had 100 percent, absolute truth and that's been my life of putting my country first," McCain replied. "And i'll match that record against anyone's. And I'm proud of it. And an assertion that I've ever done otherwise, I take strong exception to."

McCain's ads have been cited misleading over 30 times by non partisan groups.

PolitiFact cites 27 statements by McCain that are barely true, 24 statements that are false and 6 statements that qualify as pants on fire.

Why is Gwen Ifill moderating the VP debate on Thursday? She has written a book on Obama, due out Inauguration day, and she has every incentive to have him elected. This is truly biased! a moderator is REQUIRED to be neutral.

I am furious...FURIOUS....at the ongoing media bias toward Obama. What has society become? The media picks at the tiniest little thing about McCain and Palin, but ignores HUGE issues with Obama. No one is talking about ACORN, no one is talking about the police-state thug tactics in Missouri. And have you seen the videos of these children being brainwashed into singing songs about Obama? Are you kidding me with this?

We, as Americans, need to be scared......VERY VERY scared, at the mere thought of Obama coming to power. The thought of it sends chills down my spine.

God help us.

I have to say first of all as a life time resident of Illinios, and having been to what you refer to as Chicago Thug Land too many times to count, I and others are very dissappointed. I doubt you have ever been farther than the edge of your own yard. Try getting out more you just
might learn something important.

McCain has lied repeatedly throughout his campaign about Obama and about his own record. It is all a matter of public record. All you have to do is to have the intelligence to look it up
Verbal abuse and discriminatory remarks about the candidates are to me an outrage and I believe that they should not be allowed to be posted. But I am not the mod here.
Color should not matter. We all bleed red blood.
We all believe in a higher power and eventually we all die as well.
Change is coming, that is correct. Our world is constantly changin around us, and so is our USA. How we manage the changes and what we do with them as one nation ,indivisible, is what is most important.

McCain unveils the pathetic debating tactic of "some people"

"Some people allege that others may have spent too much time inside the Beltway," McCain said, "And too much time not out in touch with the American people, some people that know that Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't adress the American people on television."

At the Des Moines Register meeting

When it was pointed out that there were some doubts about Palin's experience, even among conservative Republicans, McCain replied sarcastically: "Really? I haven't detected that."

He portrayed conservative critics of Palin as those hailing from the "Georgetown cocktail party" set.

In a taped interview with Couric

Couric: Gov. Palin, since our last interview, you've gotten a lot of flak. Some Republicans have said you're not prepared; you're not ready for primetime. A conservative columnist, Kathleen Parker, went so far to say that you should step down from the ticket.

Palin: Well, I don't know who she is, and I apologize for that. So, and I don't wanna offend her, but I don't know who she is. So I won't take …

Couric: But there has …

Palin: … her words necessarily to heart.

Later in the same interview

Couric: A former Bush speechwriter, David Frum, questioned your judgment of putting, quote, "such a neophyte second in line to the presidency."

McCain: Well, David, God bless you and good luck in your speech-writing ambitions (laughter.) And I will ask after … for our inauguration, we'll ask you to write the speech for us.

Concerned Democrat or Concerned in Ohio or hired by exxonmobil chevron with a laptop to defend McCain I remember when Bush got elected in 2004 when economy had started to raise alarms he after winning re-election said that "People have invested there political capital and now I'm gonna spend it" Rumsfeld who is partly responsible of our 4000 dead soldiers remained till 2006 when democrats won congress he was thrown out, Ron Paul adviser Peter Schiff 2 years ago on fox news came and said that we are going to lose our standard of living if we stay the course of high risk mortgage lending republicans these arrogant fools ignored him all of a sudden it is election year and marsha blackburn of tennessee decides to stop asking for earmarks in 2008 when she was breaking records tucking earmarks for her state in different bills as far as concerned mctrolls I would rather commit suicide than vote Republican.

Couric: You've said, quote, "John McCain will reform the way Wall Street does business." Other than supporting stricter regulations of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac two years ago, can you give us any more example of his leading the charge for more oversight?

Palin: I think that the example that you just cited, with his warnings two years ago about Fannie and Freddie - that, that's paramount. That's more than a heck of a lot of other senators and representatives did for us.

Couric: But he's been in Congress for 26 years. He's been chairman of the powerful Commerce Committee. And he has almost always sided with less regulation, not more.

Palin: He's also known as the maverick though, taking shots from his own party, and certainly taking shots from the other party. Trying to get people to understand what he's been talking about - the need to reform government.

Couric: But can you give me any other concrete examples? Because I know you've said Barack Obama is a lot of talk and no action. Can you give me any other examples in his 26 years of John McCain truly taking a stand on this?

Palin: I can give you examples of things that John McCain has done, that has shown his foresight, his pragmatism, and his leadership abilities. And that is what America needs today.

Couric: I'm just going to ask you one more time - not to belabor the point. Specific examples in his 26 years of pushing for more regulation.

Palin: I'll try to find you some and I'll bring them to you.

what it's about is the religious trying foist their beliefs on people who are not religious.... you can state your 'moral' objections according to your own belief system, that doesn't mean your right, nor does it mean that the law supports your view.

I think you ought to tell the public that Gwen Ifill the VP debate moderator has written a book about Obama - and we don't expect a fair and impartial VP debate.

Politics and Race in the Age of Obama
Written by Gwen Ifill

Due out in Jan.

Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I've read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

Couric: What, specifically?

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.

Couric: Can you name a few?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn't a foreign country, where it's kind of suggested, "Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?" Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.

Obama have you done anything to prevent another attack on this country?

What policies have you supported?
"

Obama has worked with Sen Lugar on securing nuclear arms in a continuation of the Nunn-Lugar tradition.

Obama has called for 2 additional brigades to go after Al Queda in Afghanistan for years now.

John McCain says he will follow Bin Laden to the gates of hell but he won't kill him in Pakistan without permission.

Obama does have much fun. He hasn't hung around people who enjoy life. He Have you noticed that Obama only hangs out with angry people? People who are criminal? He hangs around people that are enraged and angry and disenchanted with society all the time. His college professors on down to the terrorist buddies, the radical preachers, and all this. Must be a fun holiday party at his place, Rezko, Ayers, Wright. You don't want to lose a game of twister want those guys do you? Sitting around the fireplace in Chicago talking about how much America stinks while eating prosciutto wrapped asparagus.

"I see your point here, it might be analogous to the 'religious right' trying to control women's reproductive rights. "

No not really. Abortion is about whether or not you think a fetus is a living human being worthy of societal protections. People on the Left assign no human value to a fetus. And want federal tax dollars to pay for their bad choices. People on the Left, like 0bama, don't even assign human value to a viable living baby that survives an abortion.

Frankly it's quite disgusting. If you believe in the sanctity of life, then the question you ask yourself is "When does a fetus become a human?". Any point after that abortion becomes murder.

what is an EAFR?

Th energy expert

Couric: Because, if it's not man-made, then one might wonder, well, how can human beings contribute to a solution?

Palin: Well, human beings certainly are contributing to pollution today. And to some adverse effects on the environment. And it's all of our jobs to do to clean things up. And that's what we're committed to doing.

Couric: So you do believe … that man is contributing to global warming, because you just said they're causing pollution. Of course, pollution causes global warming.

Palin: I believe that there are a lot of causes. And there is one effect. And one is changes in the climate. And there are things that we can do to make sure we're cleaning up the environment. I also formed an integrity office that solely is focused on petroleum, on pipelines, on those things that we do up there in Alaska to contribute to the U.S. domestic supply of energy.

Where we can focus solely on environmental protections. There are a lot of things that I've done there in that arena of environmental protection that have kind of ticked off some in my own party thinking that I went too far. But I've always been of the mind that, you know, we gotta prove that we can do this right. Safely, ethically, environmentally friendly developments, or we're not gonna be allowed to unlock our lands and tap these supplies.

Couric: John McCain proposed legislation calling for mandatory caps on global warming gases or CO2 emissions. Do you agree with that?

Palin: I support his position on that. Absolutely.

Couric: But he somewhat backtracked on the campaign trail saying it wouldn't, they wouldn't, the caps wouldn't be mandatory, they'd be voluntary. So what do you think? Do you think voluntary caps go far enough? Or they should be mandatory?

Palin: He's got a good cap and trade policy that he supports. And details are being hashed out even right now. But, in principle, absolutely, I support all that we can do to reduce emissions and to clean up this planet. And john McCain is right on board with that.

Couric: Voluntary or mandatory in your view?

Palin: We're gonna keep working on how it can be implemented to actually make sense and make a difference.

re: "It's my human right to force another human to meet my health care needs.
Strange how a human right could be so one-way..."

I see your point here, it might be analogous to the 'religious right' trying to control women's reproductive rights.
We certainly wouldn't want laws passed to allow the government to intervene in private family medical conditions like what was tried by the Republicans during the Terri Schiavo incident.

Couric (to Palin): Are you sorry you said it?

McCain: … and the fact …

Couric: Governor?

McCain: Wait a minute. Before you say, "Is she sorry she said it," this was a "gotcha" sound bite that, look …

Couric: It wasn't a "gotcha." She was talking to a voter.

McCain: No, she was in a conversation with a group of people and talking back and forth. And I can tell you that I would say, if I was asked, of course we have to do what's necessary to protect America. The question is, is whether you make an outright public announcement the way that Sen. Obama did. And I don't think you do that. And … I'll let Gov. Palin speak for herself.

OBAMA: "These are the same guys who helped to engineer the distraction of the war in Iraq at a time when we could have pinned down the people who actually committed 9/11. In part because of their failed strategies, we've got Bin Laden still sending out audiotapes. And so I don't think they have much standing to suggest that they've learned a lot of lessons from 9/11."

Obama have you done anything to prevent another attack on this country?

What policies have you supported?

What policies have you authored that have prevented an attack on the United States of America?

Palin: I think this may be a little bit more about a campaign of reform, where just because maybe someone in the media elite hasn't had the access that maybe they're demanding, because we're running the campaign the way that we believe will best result in a good result for America - and that is a victory for John McCain. And maybe some are kind of put off by that. But that's all part of no more politics as usual; no more business as usual. I'm out there talking to the American people, those who I so dearly love and care about. I'm talking to them in these rallies that are attracting 20 - 30,000-plus people. I'm doing these rope-lines. I'm talking to every individual American that I can, in every hour that I have in my day. That's who I will be serving, that's who I'm connecting with today."

Talking with the people involves giving speeches with a teleprompter.

Healthcare is a human right?

I guess it's my human right to forcibly indenture medical practitioners to service my healthcare needs.

More simply:
It's my human right to force another human to meet my health care needs.

Strange how a human right could be so one-way...

Obama/Biden '08

Please note that in this interview, McCain says he aspires to be a DICTATOR!

This should completely disqualify him from getting anywhere near the white house.

LEND AN EAFR!

here's what I said, again, and, it has nothing to do with your comments, I said nothing about disqualifying him for anything, I asked how it does.........

'so, how does that qualify McCain to be president? There have been many other vets who have gone through similar experiences.

McCain has had as many contradictions and 'flip flops' during his political career as any other politician, maybe more....... ie: his recent 'suspending his campaign' routine was already tried by McCain during a previous run for office.'

Mission Accomplished

Palin: "experts are who say that it would take 20 years. As the governor of an energy-producing state, we're supplying 16, 17 percent of the U.S. domestic supply of energy coming from my state. And as the former chairman of the Interstate Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, the geologists, the petroleum engineers whom I speak with are saying it can be done a lot quicker than 20 years from now."

Palin was chairman for 1 year.

The percentage of the domestic energy supply of produced by Alaska is 3.5%

This interview showed me McCain was worse than I thought.

It can be only one of several things, none good:

When he says he's only spoken the 100% absolute truth in his campaign,

1) He is practicing conscious, deliberate deceit.

2) He actually believes what he said, which means he is frighteningly blind to himself as well as highly ego-resistant to simple correction about his behavior in relation to basic facts about the same.

3) He's exhibiting dementia.

Observation: Throughout, when confronted, his first reaction is to BULLY. This is NOT an acceptable trait for a president!!

OBAMA: Right now, we don't have enough troops, and NATO hasn't provided enough troops because they are still angry about us going into Iraq. So we just don't have enough capacity right now to deal with -- and it's not just troops, by the way. It's like Arab -- Arab -- Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers, we only have a certain number of them, and if they're all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them, and -- and obviously they may not speak Arabic, but the various dialects that they speak in Afghanistan, oftentimes people who speak Urdu or Pashtun or whatever the languages are, they're going to be needed in those areas, and a lot of them have ended up being placed elsewhere. So we've got to focus on Afghanistan."

There are not any Arabic translators for Afghanistan. So Obama quickly realized, wait a minute, they don't speak Arabic there, oh, God,

0bama today:“I don’t think me calling House Republican members would have been that helpful, I tend not to be that persuasive on that side of the aisle.”

Wow, he's such a uniter! He's such a consensus builder! If you need him you can just call him! Except when you can't call him!

He's trying his damnedest to vote 'present'.

He sounds and looks like a complete jerk!

John McCain: Could I just mention one other thing about this. I disagree with the 10-year figure. I talked to the independent petroleum producers who said, "Look, we can do some of this in a matter of months. We can do a lot more of it … in a matter of just a short period of time." And it's …

Couric: Don't they have a vested interest in saying that, though, Senator?

McCain: Well, they have the capability. And I don't think they're not telling the truth. I mean, they're the ones who are out there doing it

the electoral map does not look very favorable for at this time......

HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON: Speeches don't put food on the table. Speeches don't fill up your tank. Speeches don't fill your prescriptions, or do anything about that stack of bills that keeps you up at night. That's the difference between me and my Democratic opponent. My opponent makes speeches. I offer solutions. There's a lot of talk in his campaign about what kind of change he'll bring. Well, you know, change is going to happen whether we want it or not. Change is part of life. The question is, who will deliver progress to America? That's the kind of change we want. We want progress, not just any old change. There's a big difference between us, speeches versus solutions.
