It is also very interesting to find out: with the interfering from Reps, who will get the benefit in Dems' fight...

Ever notice how the Obama lovers are increasingly backed into the 'he has MORE delegates' argument ?

They have no other argument. He is NOT winning independents anymore. He is NOT winning republicans anymore.

His whole argument is he won more delegates (and rightfully so ) in febuary.

They FAIL to mention it was when he had PERFECT Teflon coating in the CORRUPT media.

It certainly hasnt gone that way since, nor will it from now on. He is a fundamentally flawed candidate now.

He has been shoved into the far left corner. (where he belonged all along)

If McCain can't even get his party to stop an ad he doesn't like, how is he going to be able to stand up to Al Qaeda?

McCain is a WEAK leader.

My respect for McCain went up after hearing this. I really hope that we have a race against McCain and Obama...these are two people who are trying to have a race about the issues. Its too bad that people in their parties are clouding the issues with negative attacks...

Boycott the election and you have given up your right to demand change in the elected leaders. Boycotting is the uneducated persons way of handling conflict. You should be mobilizing an effort to get the vote out, not whining about skin color. Did you think it was easy on MLK, or Malcom? No, but they didn;t shy away from the responsablity to educating and mobilizing people to effect change.

It's time to see an Ad with Hagee's damaging words and McCain's words to George Steph(whatever) on how he should not have gone after the endorsement and in the same breath saying he was glad he had the endorsement. There's plenty to go after w/ JM.

Richardson cannot be trusted and a traitor. Don't vote for him when runs for a Senator. He belongs to Wright, Rezco and Ayer who join any rgoup or fraternity where he will benefit and not the Americans.

Obama’s motto and theme should be Pay per Vote. Obama overspent in Pennsylvannia and still came out the loser.

Look at the facts as to how strong Hillary is:

Obama lost in Pennsylvannia in spite of endorsement by a Senator and overspending in ads, 5 to 1.

Obama lost in Texas and Ohio even overspending in ads and manipulating info in Ohio.

Obama lost in California even though Oprah, Maria Shriver, and Katherine Kennedy endorsed him.

Obama lost Massachusetts even though Kennedy and John Kerry endorsed him.

Hillary won the big states and has more electoral college votes to date than Obama that is crucial in November.

Obama lost the big states even though the media is most of the time unfair with Hillary and always positive to Obama.

Wake up superdelegates! You will make the right choice if you pick Hillary.

Obama mocked the Pennsylvannians and the entire nation, which is so irresponsible and very degrading to all Americans. He is just like Wright who mocked the Americans and like Rezco and Ayers who we can’t trust.

Wake up superdelegates!

Well its going to happen in the general. Dems better face that music now and think about it when they vote.

"I cannot dictate to the [North Carolina Republican] Party what their message is," said McCain. "But I can condemn it. I have no further options. I cannot impose my will on people who are the elected leaders of their own party."

Bull**it, McCain. That's a good one. You may be correct in that you can't "dictate" to them but I've dealt with party politics enough to know that the party's nominee can pretty much get what he wants when he's adamant about something. McCain's just trying to have his cake and eat it too.

And frankly, this coming from the redneck North Carolina GOP, it doesn't surprise me. All the southern state GOP's are racists and everyone knows it. Ah well, so much for a "change" in the tone of campaigning. The Dems and Repubs are just the same when it comes to power. They'll do anything to get it and don't care what damage it may inflict. A curse on both of your houses...

Wait a minute, this looks a lot like Hillary Clinton's ads but more milder lol!

Way to go North Carolina GOP. American citizens need to know the truth about Obama and his "friends" and "allies". Thanks for having the guts to do this ad. If I were a super delegate who has openly supported Obama I would start getting real nervous about now. Stay tuned there's more of this to come. If Obama is on the ticket as either Pres or VP many Democrats who will not vote for Obama will also begin scrutinizing any of their elected officials if they voted for Obama. What goes around comes around and I personally have a very long memory. Super delegates and the DNC should have vetted Obama much more. How did he make it into the US Senate even? Do we not do background checks? Thanks to the media (ABC News, Fox News) and the blogsites (Rezkowatch, HillBuzz, FamilySecurityMatters, etc.) for helping to bring these important facts about Obama's ties and the truth about him to the public's attention.

Do you seriously think Dems -- or anybody else -- will care if we stay home? They will lose far more white Hillary votes (cause those folks WON'T sit home and boycott, they'll just vote for McCain) than black Barack ones if people are holding true to what they are claiming during the primary season.

Forget Wright, How about Pastor Hagee saying that Jesus WASN'T the messiah and that the jews can't be blamed for crucifying a false prophet? Why isn't McCain getting ANY heat about this? HYPOCRISY!!! Wright may in fact, be a bigot, but how is Hagee NOT!!! Somebody PLEASE explain this. Go after Wright... AND HAGEE!!!

Obama is now behind in total votes cast for the democratic nomination. Hillary is now in the lead. As you know Howard Dean will seat delegates from FL and MI. Obama, the end is near...

This guy is running for the Presidency and he can't tell some locals not to run a bad ad? What kind of nonsense is this? Does he really believe anybody is going to believe this? God, the audacity of someone thinking people are that stupid to believe this.

To ryan

McCain can only control the RNC.

To blame McCain for this is unfair.

He can't control local state parties whose leaders are elected locally.

Can Bush control the actions over every state governor who is a republican.

Federal Vs State.

McCain can only control the RNC.

McCain has pledged the RNC and McCain's campaign will run a respectful campaign.

McCain can only implore them not to run the ad.

McCain got the tennessee state party not to run the flier with hussein on it. But ultimately McCain can't fire leaders elected at the state level.

It is amazing how little the american people know about McCain.

McCain is hated by these state party gop officials. They are activists who campaigned against McCain.

The left bashes McCain as the big bad conservative when the conservatives hate him.

What a joke.

Email her at: daves@ncgop.org

--- North Carolina is just a good ol' boy state that still practices the politics of hate, just as Linda Daves has shown. It will forever be known as just a "hick" state because of people like her. I'm sure Lee Atwater and Karl Rove would be proud of her.

Truth is never controversial or negative. Those fearful of it find such as controversial and negative.

When you go to a christen church for 20 years, you’re Christian
When you go to a Jewish Temples for 20 years, you’re Jewish
When you go to a KKK meeting for 20 years, you’re a Racist
AND
When you go to a church that preaches hatred of whites for 20 years, you’re a Racist

Why is the truth so hurtful???

I'm afraid thanks to Hillary's negative attacks that neither one of them will be electable in November. No one but a few dems can trust Hillary, and despite being the best candidate, every one has been hounding Obama so much I'm afraid he too will become unelectable, and we have Hillary to thank for all this. Looks like another 4 more years of Bush!

Can bush fire a republican governor? Does bush have authority over them.

Of course not.

The governors are elected at the state level.

They are elected locally. Same thing with North Carolina GOP.

McCain can't fire officialsl who are elected at the state level.

If you are going to hold McCain to this standard why didn't you ask Bill Clinton to fire democratic governors when they did something wrong during his presidency.

Because he couldn't. It is against the constitution.

McCain has no juristiction over officials who are elected locally. The constitution says so.

Federal vs state.

This whole guilt by association is idiotic and food for the ignorant. If the behavior and character of one person reflects on another just because they associate with each other, we ALL have to plead guilty to that one. All these people who point their fingers at any candidate for this is an ignorant fool. How many of you have known or associated with somebody throughout your life that has said or done some shameful things? Get over the BS distractions that both parties are using and get as passionate about the issues as you are about this crap. Answer this, HOW does it affect me or the people I care about? Use that as your measuring stick of importance. Or here is another crazy thought, how about measuring a persons character by examining THEIR character. Get a grip people!

As a Independent I have absolutely no party loyalty because no party deserves it IMHO. If Obama is nominated, I will vote for Obama. If Hillary is nominated, then I will vote for the old guy. In fact I would vote for Paster Wright before I voted for Hillary. When will you dems get it? Outside of your party, no one likes Hillary lol!

how can you judge a person's character other than by their actions and their associates? You can't read inside their heads and you can't simply take everyone (especially a politician, LOL) at his/her word.

McCain is loving the fact that he don't have to take responsibility for the Rep. attack ad airing in N.C. against Obama and I don't believe McCain at all.
And his first visit to New Orleans. He don't deserve to walk on their ground!
It is a little late. His priority was a trip across the world to raise money from a dinner "fundraiser" in Paris with
his cronie frieds Liberman and Graham paid for with taxpayer money. What a phony.

govtDr - there are many flaws to your logic. Using your logic, if a corrupt police officer is working at a station then everyone else working there is just as corrupt? Or you yourself think and believe in exactly the same things as everyone you associate with? No disagreements ever? Be realistic and truthfull with yourself and you will see that these are nothing but distrations from the real issues. Judge someone's character by the actions of their associates (especially politicians) and you ignorantly assume that everyone is as good as the worst of them. So if one politician is corrupt then they all are according to your logic.

North Carolina known for its deep faith has thee nastiest politicians in the nation.

They'll mow down a neighbor without blinking.

McCain, "stop the ad." wink, wink

I read the post of Rev. Wrights sermon and yes I am still offended. He called white folks shady and that we would not vote for a black person for president, and that it is OK to vote for someone who is not your color (directed to the whites I assume, as he seems to have issues with blacks voting for whites??) Rev. Wright sounds racists to me, I would love to see what would be said of a white person saying all of this about black people, thanks for letting me read his complete offensive sermon!!

To Don T,God blss Hillary? You have got to be kidding!
It has been said "By thier works you shall know them..."
Hillary= Lies, lots of them,rascism
MCain=Disrespect for his wife. Rascism "gooks, I will always hate them
".
America is blessed for those who make 50,000 and over. the rest well....
A higher authorty will judge Hillary and MCain and thier like-minded followers.

Tomdavie

How bout this...Obama has more popular votes and delegate votes...uh i think that means he's winning.

I'm a North Carolinian and proudly wearing my "I Voted" sticker right now as I'm typing this. I voted two hours ago and I proudly voted for the person I feel is the most intelligent, able to use reason rather than reaction, will lead this country in a favorable direction for the next 4 and possible 8 years, and will bring harmony, integrity, honesty and candor back into our government. That person is non other than Barack Obama. And I'm white and over 65!

Obama will wipe me out financially with his 40% dividend tax mostly, but also when I go to sell my house his 28% capital gains will ruin me. Plus he wants a global tax, carbon tax, fuel tax, estate tax, and a national real estate tax, his corporate taxes will drive daily living costs through the roof, and that doesn't even include his income taxes! At $30K/year I would pay $4,900 more per year under an obama regime! http://www.blogatroid.com/taxes2008.htm
Obama's been constantly evasive about how he'd pay for his 1.13 trillion in global giveaways and an eXTRA 50billion in domestic wasteful spending.

obama is the only candidate who refuses to stop making sense or start streams of meaningless rhetoric. he alone has shown good judgement on issues such as the iraq resolution that hillary helped to deliver to the white house. he makes a good point that experienced folks like cheney and rumsfeld have been a living breathing nightmare for this country. if we have one more status quo president in office, it wont matter who we elect anymore. power will very soon be too consolidated for the american citizenry to hold its government accountable for anything... assuming it hasnt crossed that line already

I think it is sad that the American people find it so easy to attack each other on any subject. Although our great nation was founded on freedom of speech the almost steady stream of attacks on each other is what makes America seem weak to outsiders. The truth is that the common man does not go around bashing other races most Americans in fact are just trying to get by from day-to-day. If you live separated from other races, most of the time it is because you are born in to a community that is segregated. Most common People do not care what others are doing it is the extreme bigots like Reverend Wright that some how rise to power that give racist power he is no different than a K.K.K leader. All people after all are clear sprits in the eyes of God.

Obama is unelectable, he has been tainted by the hateful, racist, teachings of his spiritual advisor. As a typical White Person I cant bring myself to vote for some one who thinks I am whats wrong with the world because of the color of my skin. Rev Wright is a Racist no matter how you spin it.

Betty says ' I hope the ads in North Carolina make african americans angry so it helps Obama'

I got news for you betty. African americans have already cast their racist 90% vote for Obama and it aint changing anytime soon NO MATTER WHAT happens.

So the ads will only annoy WHITE voters into voting for CLINTON.

preachers are cult leaders, no matter what cult, aka religion, they represent. its little use holding rev wright or any other cultist up to such high standards, and little point in condemning their entire congregations...........

If John McCain has no influence on members of his own party, how do we expect him to have influence over other world leaders. Is he spineless probably so. What makes this ad particularly offensive is that it involves smearing two people who have endorsed Obama. Is this the message of the Republican Party. McCarthyism. ?

What kind of a reply is: "...I cannot impose my will on people who are the elected leaders of their own party." Is this not his party too? If he is running for President; what does this say about his ability or inability to persuade other members of our government, or the voters as to why he should even be an elected official??? Why isn't the media all over this type of racist perversion by the GOP. Why is race an issue in this the year 2008? And finally why isn't there a louder cry for removing this woman from her post? This is a very sad day for America.

Betty excellent idea I hope you are successful in your quest. Thats real good news for us republicans see ya in NOV.

WOMEN UNITE: HILLARY leads in popular votes. She received more votes in a primary than any democratic candidate in history. She has won all the big states and the critical swing states that really count in November: California, New York, Ohio Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan. No democratic candidate can win in November without these states. Obama has won more states, but the states he has won are GOP states. So in November they really don’t count. Hillary wins in primaries where more people vote, and Obama wins caucuses where less people vote. That really speaks for itself. Obama is trying to suppress the votes in Florida and Michigan and stands in the way of Florida and Michigan delegates being seated in the convention. We do not want a president who wants to suppress millions of votes in Florida and Michigan so that he can claim lead in popular vote and steal the election from Hillary. If he has no problem suppressing millions of votes in Florida and Michigan in order to get the democratic nomination, we don’t know what he will do once he is elected. He defends his 20 year association with the anti-American and racist pastor. When Americans question his relationship with the racist pastor, Obama turns around and lectures Americans about racism. We really don’t know this guy. May be we should give Obama time to prove himself to this nation. We cannot entrust the reigns of this great nation to someone who has not proved himself through his actions. IT IS TOO RISKY.

The press has lost its credibility. They don’t care about truth and values these days. They are after sensationalism and novelty to sell their papers and attract new viewers. They are giving a free ride to Obama and are super critical of Hillary who has given her life time serving this country. Many of the male chauvinists cannot tolerate the idea of a Madam President. It is about time that we elect a woman president.

This reverend Wright issue is so rediculous and the Republicans are taking it full blown to apply to every black american! Who is being persecuted - Every black person who feel they are undeservingly being doved "Reverend Whities"(ironic the name).

I am a white American and think it is sad when you start to single out one race as being failed there are just as many white children who are left behind. It is not a race thing it is the lack of parenting, and the need for some one who will step in and make the changes that are needed in our government, rather than just saying what they think we want to hear. The truth is the average American person is not stupid enough to fall for the lies if they will take the time to do a little research before they open their mouths and let their slurs fire. If you look at the over whelming evidence that is out there on all of the political candidates the clear choice will emerge. I have friends of all races, and I never think of the fact that they are of a different race until it is brought to light by ignorant people. I love them all equally.

Republicans plant themselves on this blog everyday trying hard to divide us DEM in the name of supporting Hillary and hoping to create hate amongst us ,I am a Hillary supporter and I like Obama as well and will vote for any of them that gets norminated. Republicans should be ashamed of their dirty tricks .we know what you all are capable of.

As an unaffliate voter in NC, this stupid nonsense in the NC GOP will result in me voting for a democrat for governor. I met Pat McCrory (GOP) candidate on more than one occassion....and he's a nice person....Why did he not try to stop this ad? Or did he?

This type of stupid politics will only keep states like North Carolina, South Carolina (conferate flag state) Mississippi, Tennessee, and Alabama stuck in the era of Jim Crow and stupid!!!!! This ad is fueled by racism and bigotry.....And you will turn a lot of folks off.....I now hope senators Burr and Dole loose next time...

Come on North Carolina!!!....Let us get all the silly republicans out of state wide office...

And when will rep. Mel Watt run for the U.S. senate? Have you not held that spot long enough Mr. Watt? Run against Burr or Dole....You keep sitting there, and I may run against you myself!!!!

The backlash from this stupid ad will probably cause the GOP to lose the governor race and the two US senate seats going forward....just watch and see.

The only intelligent person in this race is Obama - I am wondering if America deserves an intelligent president.

McCain will have to learn that the world doesn't revolve around him as he casts himself as the white knight. If he wants to kiss *** with demoncrats, do it on his own turf and leave NC alone!

If Senator McCain is naive enough to think that by playing nice the Dems will treating the same during the general election, he is in for a very RUDE awakening.

This is so disturbing.

I was at work today and a coworker had a radio playing the soundbite of Obama's Reverend. I tried to ignore it, I did. I heard it and it really distutrbed me.

I gave Obama money, lots of money. Money I could have used for my family and for the price of gas now. I feel betrayed by this rant of the Rev. I would like a refund.

I really believed that Obama was perfect. The perfect man to change America to the land of perfection. I knew he attended church, I loved him for that. Not when the reverend uses such language durring a sermon. So I am upset and unsure who Barack Obama is. Do I support him? I suppose, but with more caution.

No more surprises Obama. The Hillary supporting coworkers I have are having a blast at my expense. Very upsetting.
Try in a bathroom crying. So no more surprises for me.

Dont blame the Republicans for whats going on in the Democrat party. Its idioctic party leaders (DEAN)like yours that are terminally stupid. If you want to lay blame on someone look inside your own party. Although I must say it is entertaining watching these two grind each other up

So, the reverend suddenly gets religion? Most important, an apology to the American people and to the United States of America. But, where did his anger and rage go?

jozy:
the entire sermon gives the context to his GDA -- he really meant what he said. And yes. GDA. He just provided his listeners enough reasons to hate America, and he did that well. If he is a private person doing a private conversation, then it's probably fine, after all he is entitled to his own opinion. But think about it, he did this to convince 4000 of his listeners that America deserves hating!! And Obama lets his young daughters sitting there, being poisoned. And then Obama tells us he wanted unify the black and the white.

I am a Democrat, but I think it is ridiculous that the GOP in NC is being told that they should not run the ad because it will be unfair to Obama.
Give me a break! Would McCain ever ask Obama not to run ads against him? Of course not. This is a contest. If Obama is too thin-skinned or too much of an effete, than he should not be in politics. It's like playing football and saying that he should not get tackled by the other team.

SB Iowa:

did you hear senator Obama speak out against the GOP in NC running that ad? Did you? I didn't hear you young fellow...did you?

Look here: Senator Obama will not only win NC, he will win Indiana, the democratic nomination, and the general election in the Fall. Are you somehow having voter's remorse? Or did you vote for Edwards or Clinton....It don't matter now Iowa fellow!!!! Senator Obama will be the next president...case close!!!

I was leaning toward Obama, however the more times I have heard him speak the further I lean in the other direction. I wish we had a candidate that would actually tell a plan to brighten up a very bleak looking future here in America and deal with the Issues. I love this country and pray for it and all of our leaders daily if more Americans would do so this country might not be in such a mess. At the time all we have to choose from is he lesser of three evils. I think it is past time for the candidates to focus on the real Issues such a Health Care, A Failing Economy, and A Broken System.

The only change Obama brings is more taxes and social programs for hardworking Americans. To be honest with you Im tired of paying for other peoples failings and laziness. You go ahead and vote for that moron if you want but after watching the debate last week where itsapparent he knows nothing about the economy

TH:

as much as I support senator Obama, and I really do.....and disagree with just about everything you said concerning him, I must admit his comments concerning the capital gains tax really concerns me......

I think he must had been responding off- the- cuff..... To raise the taxes on capital gains really do not make too much sense as many middle income folks receive capital gains from the stock market.....No, it's not all a matter of some folks (as the senator said) who know how to work the stock market can benefit......

Watch this.... he will probably tone down that issue about raising capital gains taxes going forward....If he doesn't, then someone just need to shake him a little.....

Jason...

Sorry bud, but I've worked for both parties. I mean WORKED for them, not a volunteer. While your little org chart is nice and neat, it isn't the reality of what goes on behind the scenes. If you really believe what you say, you don't know what really goes on behind closed doors. And I'm telling you that McCain could stop the ad if he wanted to. It's the same "I don't like it but I can't do anything about it.." routine that the pols know sounds good. But the people in party politics know how it really works.

Frankly, this is typical politics of using wedge issues. Lyndon Johnson knew that when he signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Dems would lose the south for a generation or more. Face it, the southern state parties use wedge issues all the time....race, religion, sexuality...you name it, they use it. It's the Bible Belt, for chrissakes and the politicos know what works with those rednecks. And since I live in a southern state, I know exactly how it works and why they use it.

So your little political lectures to the masses on here are nice, but naive as far as party politics go.

If by any chance one of you fabulous candidates reads this. IT IS TIME TO LISTEN TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Hillary is John McCain's twin evil sister.

sunshine:

voting for senators McCain, Obama, and Clinton is not a matter of the lesser of 3 evils....

These are not evil people; they are public servants who want to help you and fellow Americans....

Why won't Obama debate Hillary in Indiana? What is he hiding? Sign a petition to request Obama to debate Hillary in Indiana.

Why did Hillary back out of the first PA debate date and then basically force Obama to debate at a time chosen only by her? Your petition is an enormous joke. Do you actually labor under the misapprehension that it matters? Well hey, good luck with that whole being a gracious loser thing. You follow your leader well.

Tony

Although I respect your admiration with Mr Obama, I find it hard to believe that you are nieve to believe that was just a miss quote from him. I think alot of people have been blinded by his oratory skills and smile. Additionally do you really think he is not going to raise taxes? to support all the great ideas he has? If im not mistaken his plan calls for an additional 950 BILLION dollars, who the hell is going to foot the bill? you, me my grandchildren. Like I said America needs to wake up and get off their overweight A$$ and start taking care of themselves and quit relying on the GOVERNMENT because its people like me who are getting tired of it, you know the Typical white person

Most of the posters that are saying negative things about candidate Barack Obama are, infact, struggling to conceal an uncorfortable feeling that a black person may be the next president of the United States. This, they cannot imagine because thay have unconciously accepted the myth that the white house is a tradition meant only for "white" males.

OKAY FOLKS....ENOUGH!!!

enough of this nonsense back and forth; it's getting late, and senator Obama will win in 2008!!!

Like it or not; he will win!!!

I believe that is what many supporters of Obama believe they are doing. In many ways, the younger generation has now bought themselves a candidate. Some folks rebel with rocks and sticks and usually get quashed. Others elect the first truly progressive candidate in the Presidential race in the last generation. Is Obama perfect? Clearly not. Is he a Manchurian candidate? Don't be daft. Is he a step away from the morass of filth that politics has become? We think so. Does he represent a step in the right direction? Quite possibly. Baby steps.

WisdomandTony-I know, but no matter how much you tell people that it is, in fact, sunny outside they insist on cowering in the blankets. "President Obama"...get used to it haters.

The ad is ran because Wright is linked to two NC gubernatorial candidates who endorsed Obama.I get it it's the guilt by association tactic. So the two candidates are racist since they support Obama,who is supposedly racist because he listens to Wright.

Betty, I think you need to calm down. Obama still has the best chance of winning the nomination. He has gotten an incredible amount if support from both blacks and whites. His record does not support his claims that he can make the changes he runs his campaign on. If he does lose the nomination it will have nothing to do with race. You are making race more of an issue then anyone else.

Tony I did not mean litterally they were evil I just dont see any one of them bringing forth the kind of change that is needed.

Actually, Black people voted for Bill Clinton at an 85% margin. We liked Bill, he was cool. Hillary just reminds us of our mothers telling to clean our rooms.

Tony

So do you support the idea of more taxes or not. If his off the cuff remark gave you concern then the blinding light to the obvious on his tax proposals should have you terrorfied. The money spent in Iraq is a seperate issue as I stated our nation has become lazy overweight and spoiled driving their gas guzzeling SUVs and last I checked America has about three years worth of oil left in reserves. We had to secure it from somewhere not that I agree with the way we went about it but its our society as a whole who is to blame. By the way your condescending attitude isnt warranted. BUD

wmd5: So if I get your point, my only option is to vote for Obama? My vote for anyone else certifies me as a racist? Sweet.

sunshine:

thanks for clearing that up.....that's just how it is sometimes as it pertains to not knowing who to choose from...

But, senator Obama, I believe, clearly would be the best to serve out of the three for president....

So, please shine your smile on him again....

But Hillary PROMISED she wouldn't sell us out to corporate interests. How can you distrust that endearing visage? It's just a teensy filthy, smelly, diseased little coincidence that she takes more money from PACs and lobbyists than anyone. Or that she is famous for having said that "lobbyists represent real people" in defense of her opportunism. Coincidence...LALALALALALALALA...ICANTHEARYOU

There is an old cliché that covers McCain on this issue:
It’s called “”Having your cake and eating it too””.

McCain reaps the benefit from the damage to Obama’s image, while also gaining respect for condemning the AD.

There is nothing new here.

Unless McCain insists on the ad not running, he is being disingenuous.

TH:

I will be willing to withstand a bit increase in taxes than to have an administration who cannot seem to relate to all people.......Notice: this article pertains to how the GOP will stop at nothing to play the race card in the deep south.....Jesse Helms did it against mayor Harvey Gant for the US senate race......It was done recently in Tennessee when rep. Harold Ford, Jr. ran against Bob Coker......Ford was clearly the better candidate....The Republican party has not demonstrated a level of connection to African American and poor people....Where did the "so called" great Ronald Reagan announce his candidacy for president? He did it in Philadelphia, Mississippi....He talked about states rights....Well, this is the same place where the three Civil Rights workers were murdered only 14 years earlier.....the incident that sparked the movie Mississippi Burning....Talking about "state rights, huh?" That is code for: "Keep the federal government out of prosecuting these murderers." Right? These are the kind of tactics the Republicans use.........I sort of liked Mike Hucabee (sic), until he made the nonsensical remarks in support of the confederate flag in South Carolina....At least senator McCain spoke out against that racist symbol....

So, while some folks continue to cling to guns and religion; others, in the south keep clinging to racism and that stupid battle flag........I'm tired...

But, I'll take a democrat for president anytime over a Republican....except it be general Colin Powell.....

A chance of what? Becoming a constitutional law scholar? Senator? Frontrunner in one of the greatest primaries ever? Almost certain victor against McCain in Novermber (check the polls)? Seems like he could have just bombed a synagogue instead of spending a lifetime on a convoluted and stupid plan to infiltrate the American political machinery via tricksterism. Who are you, Jerry Bruckheimer?
