Is this a joke? What's the point? I can't believe I stayed up for this boring topic.

Remember that Obama wasn't going to pay "street money" to local organizers in Philadelphia? Remember how supposedly noble the Obama campaign was made to look for not engaging in the practice?

Well, it's just the latest in a long line of campaign lies from the Obama camp.

"Then she let me in on a fact of political life. The Obama people are asking for names of people they can pay to canvass for the candidate. "Any way you look at it, they are paying people." So no street money, but a little canvassing money.

Other than Hillary Clinton, Obama is truly good at heart.

I thought all of Obama's people were volunteers?

Mc Cain isnt 'too old' . If so, why dont they have an age maximum? They have an age minimum.

Perhaps they should. But he is certainly young enough to be prez.

The only reason he gets elected is because Obama is the nominee. So it would only last one term anyways.

Obama has been doing more than his share of sucking up to McCain supporters. This is similar to his comments patronizing Ronald Reagan. Does Obama even know that he's running in the Democratic Party? Just one big empty suit, brush, brush.

Obama, ain't he too cool, flipping off Clinton?

A classy comment from a classy guy!

Owen - paying street money means giving major cash to campaign bigwigs to throw around any way they want. Obama has not done that.

Hiring individuals to canvas has NOTHING to do with street money. It is paying some little guy in the campaign wages to do a specific job (canvassing).

John McCain is old, but not too old to be president. Remember fifty is the new thirty. So John McCain is the new fifty.

I am supporting Obama in the Primary and look forward to the policy debates between he and McCain for the General. I disagree with Obama and think that McCain is too old. It's not ageism - it's the cold, hard facts of knowing many his age and their limitations; especially when you add an enormous amount of stress into the mix.

Everyone seems to be familiar with the terms "racist" and "racism" and "sexist" and "sexism"... perhaps with John McCain's campaign will also come a little eduction about the terms "ageist" and "ageism".

Funny how the media loudly trumpets this when Clinton has said outright that McCain was better than Obama. Where was the expectation of public outrage then.

He is outspending in every state .
That's why even he got lots of donation he already spent it most all of them.
He got left $ 9 millions for the GE.
He even owe some vendors for $600,000.
It just came out on the other blog.

I have noticed in our own local elections that older voters have been more likely consider old age of a candidate problematic than younger voters.

Apparently, old age is more debilitating than young people think. Those experiencing old age are keenly aware of its limitations.

Like anything else, age can be a factor in determining a good leader. However age in years is less relevant than how worn out the candidate is. Are McCain's ideas on the war old and tired? Yes. What about his ridicule of woodstock? Wow we haven't heard THAT one before, very tired... Save the economy by reducing the tax on the wealthy? Another tired old president tried that - Reagan - and it created a major decline in our middle class. Very old. Very Tired.

Can anyone bring a lawsuit against John McCain for breaking campaign finance laws?
How corrupt is the system when John McCain can operate outside of the law and no one questions this action?

he doesn't want to beat him because he is old, Obama wants to beat him because he is wrong.

This is just Obama's way of looking good for the public. Just the same as he was saying it was OK for Hillary to stay in the race. He isn't going to say ANYTHING to offend McCain. Afterall, McCain called off the REPUBS addressing Barak with his middle name. Sounds like politics to me.

Obama may or may not think McCain is too old, but he's wise to focus on the policy differences. It's pretty easy to pull examples of effective older leaders to blunt that criticism (ie. Churchill), but McCain's stance on the war or tax cuts for the rich are going to be much harder to defend.
