Who cares? Did Clinton predict defeat for Obama?

"I frankly don't think that Senator McCain, despite his service and his length of experience, that that's going to be able to stand up to the message that Barack Obama has brought forward," Romney argued.

For once I agree with Romney, and here I always thought republicans incapable of telling the truth.

New war (general vs. primary) = new enemy = new friends

DNC will pull video from republican ex-candidates

RNC will pull video from democratic ex-candidates

In the end, voter looses war

George W McCain should definitely pick Mitt "Corporate Raider" Romney as his VP.

I can already see the Obama ads now, with Mitt on videotape saying basically the same thing Gen. Wes Clark was saying about McCain two weeks ago...PRICELESS.

Can this be any easier for Obama?

He's got POTUS locked. Even Romney knows it.

OBAMA 08

Romney is an agressive campaigner, but he's also a team player. Obama, what has Hillary done for you lately?

John McCain: going down in flames.

The same idiots who come up with most of the topics.

Obama is not fit to be President...Anyone should be able to beat him. Hillary was my first choice but I will take McCain as second. Down with Obama!

Lexi - That is an incorrect quote, and Cone is not running for President. I htink you need to re-visit the meaning of the word "proof."

Finally Romney say something thats true, Now if he gets on that VP ticket with McCain.. he too will face the double faith come November.

he will be a 2 times LOSER losing to Mccain and losing to Obama .

This stuff is just priceless you cant make it up.

I hope McSame pick Romney ,then the DEMS just have to run this video along with the other many FLIP-FLOPS of Romney in the past, And they will just have to put their feet up and watch those 2 go down further in flames.

Its so funny Mitt Romeny abuse McCain in the primary, now he may have to go in bed with him. poor McSame.he is all daze and confuse

Clinton said Obama could not defeat McCain so WTF over?

Obama was ahead folks by 15 points just 30 short days ago. Newsweek reports today its a virtual tie!

MARK: You must not read much. There are 3 polls out today that have Obama up by 3,4, & 8 points.

Mark,

The newsweek polls are not what's important. It's the electoral map. As seen in the 200 election, Al Gore won the popular vote and lost the presidency.

Based on polls Obama leads on the electoral map by 317-221

Also, if you watched the abc debate Clinton was asked "Can Obama defeat McCain" and Clinton replied "YES YES YES"

This is the stupidest headline ever? It just doesn't make sense. Someone fire the editor.

Of course candidates are going to say their competitor is a worse match up against the opposite political party; that's one of the ways they ask for your vote. Regardless of which candidate said this I wouldn't think it was a big deal. Was he supposed to say "pick me even though McCain will be better against Obama/Hillary?

I feel sorry for Obama supporters as they are having to change their position and opinions more and more often to justify Obama's constantly changing positions.

I also find it amusing Obama runs on a platform on unity and bipartisanship when he votes party line 97%+ of the time. Can an Obama supporter please point out one time Obama has upset his party rocking the boat to vote across the aisle? McCain has done this several times so it looks like McCain walks the walk that Obama just talks.

Leave Lexi alone...she is part of the 12% of Americans who believe Obama is a Muslim. Many Muslims around the world will think Obama is a Muslim because he was born of a Muslim father. Like if your mother is Jewish, you're a Jew.
Anyway this is a non story....every candidate in the primary was in it to win it and said things they have to say to be competitive. Hillary more than anybody, and BO may even end up having to pick her as VP, if he wants to win this thing. I supported/voted Hillary and now am backing McCain all the way.
They are both centrists and I trust them more, even tho BO is trying to move his way to the middle now. Too little too late. He has no cred with me, and millions of other Americans. That is why McCain is within 3 points of him in the polls now.
Romney has great fiscal experience and I think he'd be a great VP with McCain.
Doesn't matter what tape they have on them running against each other...Americans are smart enough to know they were both fighting for the nom.

Deb,

Obama may have no "cred" with you, but I find it funny that the US is now going to talk directly with Iran. Bush and McCain had a field day bashing Obama about talking to our enemies and now we are doing that. Plus Isarel is talking to Hamas. And all the generals agree with Obama that the real threat is and alwasy has been Afghanistan and that we lew it by going in Iraq. Now McCain is just parroting what Obama has said all along.

So while he may have no "cred" with you, he certainly seems to with tons of others.

I love the obsession with Karl Rove. It must really upset liberals that a single republican is smarter than and can outmanuever the entire democratic spin machine including major media. If anyone thinks either democrats or republicans have an exclusive on corruption, spin, etc you are naive.

cryos,

That's OK, Karl Rove can be the smartest inmate at the Federal Pen!

Smear

'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

FACT

FULL QUOTE From Audacity of Hope:

"Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: "I am your friend," "[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization," and "You embody the American dream." They're right, my message is simple, for what I've come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect.

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." [Page 260-261]

I think McCain should pick Hillary...now that would be a real winning ticket...they would win it hands down...and I bet the Repubs will pay her debt...I would even help!

America is precious, so is Barak Obama the next president of the Greateast nation on earth. so is Me and so will you be. white, Blaks, Spanics American, all American, one Nation United under GOD for good+prosperity + strong with the best Army on earth, United with all color of sons and Daugthers capable and determine,undefitheble,respected by all the rest of the world,power-full,yes the best of the bests yes so will it be and Obama as commender in thief.GOD Bless America for ever and ever,Amen.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Obama is clearly a Muslim and it's not even subject to dispute. I expose the facts that the radical, left-wing media tries to hide from you. This is why Obama supporters fear me.

Hey thats my line! Have pity on Lexi, he was

Romney's comments simply confirm the need for McCain to add his gravitas to the ticket. Romney is the next best qualified to lead the nation.

Against McCain-Romney, Obama and his American-hating affiliations are relegated to where they belong: The Democratic cavalcade of losers.

Was this like the comment Hillary Clinton made about Obama? When she said John McCain would be better in the White House than Barack Obama.

Romney is just bidding for his time. He is just practicing campaign. He is trying to be on rightside of republican party and acting as if he is supporting mccain. But deep in his heart, he wants mccain to loose, so he can run next time and beat obama and become president in 2012 to 2020. He is very competent and capable of achieving what he wants. I am sure he will be president one day.

I am a 70 year old white and I am embarassed to know that McCain does not know the differeces between 'shiite and sunnis' and 'tactic and strategy'! McCain is a disgrace! I am as old as McCain, but i must confess he is loosing his bearings faster than ME. Obama is 100 times more intelligent than McCain. Obama's forign policy is 100 times sounder than McCain - and the whole world knows all these! Bush and McCain are the most confirmed liars on planet earth - "weapons of mass destruction in Irag", Bush and McCain declared. But there were none! "The surge is working" bellowed Bush and McCain - but there are more troops there than ever and Bush and McCain are willing to let our troops relocate there. Thank God, my grandsons are back from Iraq safely! God bless Obama!

Perfect summation, UglyMichelle. When Mitt said McCain couldn't stand up to the "message Obama brought forward", he clearly didn't know that the message of hope and change would be so....changie.

Hey Pat, McCain's sons have/are serving in Iraq and I'm praying they come home safe everytime they go over there. I'm sure the McCains do too. No one likes war and McCain did not singlehandedly start this war. There was a little date in history...9/11 that if everyone could remember back to, changed our world forever.
McCain could pick anyone as his VP (I would be quite happy with Romney), and he is the only one to see this thing trough and to a timely close.
Obama's "community organizing" skills won't really serve him all that well in regards to this war.
Like one of the posters above, I would love a McCain/Hillary ticket...fair and balanced leadership.

Oh the corruption of the press-- digging up history to further it's goals. Maybe we should see an equal amount of the fighting between Obama and Hillary? Nah- the press never was and never will be even-handed or reliable. The question I pose to the American people is this- is the press picking our leaders or are we? Are we too busy with our ipods and fast food to research candidates for ourselves? Do we just listen to quick blurbs of half-truths from the press and make our decisions on them? I hope the prior is true for a majority.

Pumas aka Murphy followers,

Just stop for a moment and think.
Are you listening to whom now?
Hillary or Murphy?
If you don't want to vote for Obama, that's understandable.
But vote for Maccain?
Did you listen to hillary when she was talking about Maccain?

Wake up from the manipulation of Murphy.

I've never heard such pornographic hatred and racism spew from the mouths of pastors. Obama's pastors are anti-semitic, keep blacks in poverty by saying how victimized they are, denigrate Americans and whites.

Haha, you dumb liberals think Americans will just overlook Obama's 20 year affliation with a RACIST church, F that!

Obama, just another typical flawed democrat candidate, even with all the media backing him up and all the empty hype.

We don't love war, you dumb lib, we despise it, but we recognize that evil exists in the world and that evil wishes to destroy us.

As opposed to your half-white, throw my stereotypical white racist grandmother/church under the bus, Barack Hussein Obama, who thinks that evil is all relative and wants to meet with the president of Iran without preconditions.

Btw, look at your candidate, he's not gonna pull out of Iraq until 2010-2012, doh! Looks like he sold you out as soon as he got the nomination!

Isn't that amazing to know that Barack's gonna whip Mccain ass like he did Hilary's??? He's gonna be crying like mamy ohhhhhhhhhh. Mamy ohhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Gnagnannnnnn!!!!!!!!!!

Romney also told his supporters that he could beat McCain. Ronmey does not have a good track record for predictions. I do not expect McCain to beat Obama, but I do expect him to wim. I expect Obama and his "friends" to beat themselves. Now that Bill Clinton is stumping for Obama, I expect the hole to get even deeper.

Romney brings in the polygamist vote. That could be sizable if the men let their wives vote.

I also find it amusing Obama runs on a platform on unity and bipartisanship when he votes party line 97%+ of the time. Can an Obama supporter please point out one time Obama has upset his party rocking the boat to vote across the aisle? McCain has done this several times so it looks like McCain walks the walk that Obama just talks.

***************************************** Yes, FISA was the most recent,

McCain who claims to be a Mavarick voted the BUSH policy party line 95% of the time in the past 12 months.
So what was that McCain walk again??

FISA was voted on by many democrats; it upset voters not the politicians. Nice try with the deflection and bad example though. Explain to me one bi-partisan effort that Obama spent political capital on.

The primary question is where breaking the party line has consequences. Voting middle of the road for either candidate during the election cycle is a farce.
