If the American people elect McCain, we can expect four more years of Republican mismanagement, kowtowing to the same Republican interest groups (the monied sector), penny pinching in helping our economy get back on its feet, further erosion of environmental safeguards, etc. McCain is a dinosaur!
I'm not fond of Obama, but voting for McCain is beyond the pale!

Obama will ruin this country. Watch, if he gets elected, after his term is up we will be paying for everything in pesos. Win the war, close the boader. Vote Republican in 08, Barack Obama dosent know anything.

John, John, John.

Why insert yourself into their demolition derby?

Hillary's negatives are rising daily as she pounds on Barack in hopeess desperation. Sure she's going to lose in utter disgrace. Who do you want blamed, you or Barack?

And it's going to get worse! She's only at the tantrum stage. Just wait till unmitigated rage sets in.

Remember, Bill already knows she's going to lose. They are now burnishing the Clinton brand on the campaign's nickel, setting the stage for their next scam.

Don't interfere! The longer the better!

True leadership does not mean rhetorical skills without true experience to back it up. He has hardly completed his first US Congressional position, yet claims national and international credentials. Being a Chicago politician does not make him an expert on national economics and being an Illinois State Senator does not make him an expert in foreign affairs. His disingenuous stance on NAFTA demonstrates his political awareness but not his understanding of trade.

True judgment does not mean pointing to an uninformed decision and calling it wisdom. As a member of the State Senate, without having access to national security briefs, without any information privy to those who actually made the decision, he opposed the action that lead up to the war. Yet once he was privy to that data as a US Senator, he voted to consistently support it. So, let’s look at his informed judgment. He admits that it was a “bone headed move” in having financial dealings with a known political fixer, Tony Rezko. He admits that he would have left his church if his pastor was not retiring; isn’t it political expedience to finally get around to having a stance after 20 years as a member?

Obama – leadership and judgment – I think not!

McCain 2008

Note to McCain:

Siding with George Bush on his moronic disastrous war is not a good campaign strategy.

Running on your republican record of destroying the American economy in less than 8 years, also not a good idea.

Try not to sound so out of touch with reality. We can't afford another president who can't articulate a complete sentence.

McCain don't either all he has is his POW experience,which I am sure was horrible, but tell me is he on some kind of revenge kick ? or he just can't let go?

Be sides who needs national security experience like what the republicans are offering; after all that is the reason we are fighting a civil war in another country now, because of republicans national security experience.

Dems for the White House !

I fear that, alas, John McCain is right. We know that his "100 years" was a figure of speech, and that wise people know that we cannot be isolationists in this world. We have to protect ourselves by being engaged in the world. Bases in Germany, Korea, Japan, Kuwait, and elsewhere have been a part of keeping us secure. We cannot afford for the Iraq war to continue, but we have to be wise in how we get out. Obama criticized Hillary for her plans to get us out of Iraq, which included some forces to protect our embassies and the Iraqi citizens who helped us. She spoke of a thoughtful and caution way of removing the troops, and possibly leaving some strike force in the area if that was a necessary hypothetical. Obama, being the wise one, said that he could get them out in 16 months max. Sounds like a poker game: I match you and raise you two... Obama criticized her for her statements. Danged, if he is not now using her words against McCain, while spinning the "100 years". Did Obama not tell reporters that he understood that McCain was referring to bases and not active warfare. He loves to spin words as the need occurs, and because he is not very knowledgeable, he gets caught in more double talk.

Maybe Americans need to be asking about McCain's experience in diplomacy: that conducting of relations between other nations.

Dems for the White House !

No wait I think I answered my own question about McCain's experience in diplomacy: Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran !

Dems for the White House !

Ouch ... No wonder why Obama sent his surrogates out in mass to pressure Hillary quit. It's not going to be pretty for Obama from now on. He thought he put away Florida and Michigan but he must have nightmares every night about the seating of Florida and Michigan. It won't go away until the party resolves it.

Obama is toast. Most Americans see it.

rco: After watching the Republican debates, I did not see them trying to "crown" anyone. That is the reverse of what I am seeing in the Democratic race. Obama thinks he is already crowned even if all the people have not voted. I agree that the media is trying to dictate the political outcome, and hopefully more people will say no to that.

The smartest and most knowledgeable candidate in the race is Hillary Clinton. She does not need to be crowned, because she works hard just like most Americans.

Obama does not experience or knowledge of much.

He makes stuff as he goes, his high priced team tells him all he does know.

He has made a full circle about the war.
first he felt we were obligated, then no war, now he understands McCains policy. (well he says he understands it)

He is kind of low on truthfulness so it hard to say, with all his lies he has told.

Obama cannot go the distance with McCain on military, MaCain is correct Obama has no idea what he is speaking about, he has never served in the military to understand what it entails.

But am happy if Obama feels he such a hot shot and want to take MaCain on I think all his supporters should encourage him to, it would be interesting to sit back and watch that show.

So go for it Obama show McCain how better you are at war matters and military strategy, with all your experience in the streets of Chicago who know you may win the war with McCain.

The fact that all the old beltway insiders are attacking Obama tells you something right there. These people feel entitled to control over the government and can't help but feel shocked that someone without 20 years of bootlicking under their belt could be the president.

From the Clintons to McCain, there is panic in the air. How dare we question their idiotic war that has killed thousands of american kids and maimed tens of thousands? How dare we question the power of lobbyists to write the laws, or their disastrous economic policies?

How could someone who's not one of them presume to offer leadership... much less a relative commoner, a mere United States Senator?

Look- McCain had his time. I'll admit he's something of an establishment figure and a decent guy. But offering us Bush III is simply not an attractive option for most people in the know. Hillary is a complete fraud. Plain and simple. The choices seem pretty stark to me.

A majority of Democrats and Republicans believe that Barack Obama has a better chance of defeating John McCain in November than does Hillary Clinton, according to a Gallup Panel survey conducted March 24-27. Democrats say 59 percent to 30 percent that Obama has a better chance against McCain and, on the question of who McCain would have an easier time beating, Republicans said Clinton by a 64 percent to 22 percent margin. Gallup says the poll also shows "there is a fairly widely held belief among party supporters -- including a plurality of Clinton supporters -- that the ongoing campaign is hurting their chances of winning in November."

I'm missing the point on McCain's foreign policy credentials. I get that he served with honor. But the guy has been a complete dupe for Bush for 8 years of the worst foreign policy in the history of the united states. He's even worse than hillary in that regard.

He voted for the worst strategic blunder in american military history, and he's still running around like it was a good idea. Someone explain to me where he's had some good judgement? On the economy? He's professed his complete ignorance, and it shows. He's just another borrow and spend Bush republican. I actually think fiscally and in terms of foreign policy, Obama might be the most philosophically conservative candidate!

You want good judgement? We never should have gone into Iraq and should have tripled the forces on the ground in Afghanistan and killed Bin Laden 5 years ago. Done deal for the "evildoers." And only one candidate is offering that judgement, BARACK OBAMA.

Soldiers make bad Presidents, Presidents bad soldiers.

Obama's shallow, one liners will not hold up against McCain. Obama is on top because the media don't like to ask him tough questions. I believe ABC and Fox News are the only networks that try to ask tough questions. Fox may be conservative, but they are tough interviewers and I think this is better for the American public. John McCain is anything but shallow.

As the days of Bush's final term in office dwindle, impeachment is one thing that must happen for the sake of preserving American democracy. Impeachment proceedings are essential, both for the information that it will produce and above all to make it clear that Congress perceives the illegal and unconstitutional acts taken by this administration to be high crimes and misdemeanors, and for the deterrent effect that will have on future presidents. Looking at the current primaries and the future presidential election. American public must create priorities that are different from those offered by the current candidates. If enough people simply look clearly at what we are doing in our course towards an abyss right now, they do have the power with the remaining democracy we have still in this country to turn it around.
