If McKinnon feels that way, he should do the honorable thing and step down now; if McCain were to fire him, it would be blown out of proportion and used to emphasize McCains temper.

By the way, what if a soldier said he/she will fight al Qaida, but sit out the fight if we go to war with those charming Iranian Rev Guards? That is analagous to what Mark McDemocrat did, and to the message Mark sent to America. McCain needs to exercise leadership now. Fire the dude.

Kay, he was born in America. His father is from Kenya and his mother from Kansas...but he was born in America. Last time I checked the US Constitution...you need to be born an American citizen.

Gushed? You're an adviser in politics? Oh Brother!

Here is a perfect example of why the current political chaos in the GOP exists. We have a so-called expert in politics who has been advising Bush and then McCain but who swoons over "The Unbearable Lightness of Being Barack" Hussein Obama! What ever happened to the manly ability to discern weak minded fools posing as expert advisors? For the GOP to have relied on this kind of mind illustrates just how morally and intellectually impaired they are.

I don't understand what McKinnon is saying. Why would he step down from McCain's campaign if Obama is the nominee? Why is Obama different from Hillary? Is he afraid that the campaigns will inevitably play the race card?

I agreee, McCain should drp-kick McKinnon NOW! I believe in the "white guilt" complex. It's sad, to say the least. What, you can't attack a non-white man running for POTUS for fear of being called a racist!? Thank you, Jesse Jackson. The Dem race IS race-based. Look at the recent polls! I know that there are plenty of mostly young white liberals are voting for Obama, because he's young, good looking a so-called "change-agent" with a preacher's fervor. But, look at the black vote. I think it's primarily raced-based voting. Trouble is Obama has no qualifications or accomplishments to speak of. Obama's just a likable guy with "change" as his main speech buzz word. All hat and no cattle. BTW, he IS the most liberal senator in congress based on voting record & no votes. The lefties love him, the blacks, and the young platform. All with little substance from Obama. I can't believe that it's come to a popularity race contest for POTUS for a lot of Dems and other folks. As polarizing as Bill-ary is, she's far more qualified on day one. We conservatives ought to start thinking about congressional seats, supporting McCain and the presidency in 2012. I'd rather fight McCain on issues while in the White than the alternative: a liberal Dem POTUS AND Congress. Makes me ill at the thought.

Oh, one other thing, if Hill-ary wins the nomination at the DMC only because of the Super-delegate vote, I guarantee there will be riots in the streets.

"Are American's getting dumb?"

Anyone else see the irony in this?

Hey, McCain...that's what you get for getting in bed with liberals all the time. You even wound up with one as your campaign advisor, you dope! LOL.

As a Conservative, I can't vote for you. You won't be any better for the nation as Obama or Clinton. I will write in Romney. I wish he had stayed in the race. Now we are stuck with a RINO like McAmnesty. Bleccchhhh!

Davie,
Please listen to what I have to say.
You've bought the media's and Hillary's "experience" mantra hook, line and sinker. You've bought the media's line that Obama is all fluff. Did you watch the Democratic debate between Hillary and Obama? I am willing to be my net worth that you did not. That debate was 110% substance, with specifics and details.

Patronizing racism at its finest, bested only by Obama manipulation of race. Why shouldn't McCain attack Obama? Are African-American so frail that they cannot take on fierce attacks? Of course they're not, but even the slightest suggestion that anyone would question Obama's Purple Unicorn Dream Factory will get out the Sharptons yelling racism. For a minute I thought I could back Obama, but then I realized that he and campaign manipulate race to mute criticism. Even worse for me is the messianic tone of the Obama campaign. Even Huckabee wouldn't dare use religious language the way that Obama does.

I'm guessing Republicans will see this as weakness. But independents will see it as character on both McCain's and McKinnon's part.

You guys in the GOP seem to have no idea what a great tactical move you've made by presumably nominating McCain. The very reasons you don't like him are the reasons independents do - and so long as you don't commit political suicide, as in the base taking a collective vacation in Fiji this November, independents will decide the election.

From the Democrats perspective, it is sheer luck they also have a candidate who may be as if not more popular with independents.

Stop it, Mr. Confused! You make too much sense! Voters can't deal with that...makes them have to think and they don't like that.

The media crowd has a hard time to have a critical look on Obama's record. Every tiny amt of questions will always go back to - oh, he is black, that's why he is being attacked crap. Make no mistake about it, coming this fall, no media would ever do any negative stories about Hussein Obama...too many people are afraid to label as the one being instructmental to defeat the most promising black man to win the White House in this generation.

Juan----I am supposed to be happy that our nation will become a Socialist nightmare with the phony Republican McCain, and I should thank the Independents for that??? No thanks. You all can commit national suicide without MY gratitude. He won't be any less dangerous to the nation as Obama or Hillary.

The reason why Obama is winning right now is because he listens to the legitimate criticisms leveled against him and he makes necessary changes. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN PEOPLE CONSISTENTLY SAY HE IS AN "EMPTY SUIT" OR SIMPLY RUNNING ON IDEALISTIC RHETORIC, HE MADE CHANGES TO HIS STUMP SPEECHES, ADDED MORE "MEAT," SUBSTANCE, ADDED TOWN HALLS, ECONOMIC MEETINGS, ETC. Imagine a President who actually listens to the American people to get things done? Speaking of empty (pant) suits, why does Hillary avoid answering the question of healthcare mandates and tax increases for the majority of working Americans?

A former democrat wants to tie McCains hands against Obamas attacks hmmmm hmmmmmm

Ah yes. The "stubby-armed" old coot McCamesty vs Obama with his give-away drivers license program to illegal mexican aliens. What a pair to draw to. The voters don't have much of a choice. Very sad. Very sad, indeed. The US will merge its' borders with mexico and canada, and we'll all live happily ever after.

Maybe the GOP needs to lose it all, as they did in 1992, so we can flush out the McKinnons, the McCains, the Spectors, the Olympia Snowes, the Susan Collinses, and the corrupt deadweight like Larry Craig (Arlen's buddy). A rest did the conservatives wonder in 1993.
