McCain is Bush's third term.

STILL NOT GOOD NEWS.

Mccain and bush is a shame. You know I was very paticular why Mccain was visiting Mexico and Columbia at this time. Now I have realised that it was all staged by Bush. CIA and the FBI were in charge of the operation. Mccain was there at bush's asking. The fact that he was briefed says it all. Its really a shame when a national situation is being used to boost a candidate.

Why is he being given some credit for the rescues? He had nothing to do with them, he just happend to be in the country when it happend. He didn't even know about it until he was on his new plane heading for Columbia.

i wonder how much cindy paid for this how much john sold usa out and how liberman created it soooo now we know why he went there oh please if anyone belives this bs gotta hand it to those republicans their clever!!!!

hey will and dems for mccain we all know if we follow politicts the debates dont happen until the fall patience my friends dont worry obama will crush john in debates soon and as for msnbc you really didnt pay attention to the story if you did your not pointing out all the facts only the negetivity to smear obama i watched last night too and completley understood why obama is doing what hes doing!!

McCain doesn't need a comeback, he's going to win hands down. This article is further evidence of a concerted effort by the Obamainstream media (ABC) to propogandize Obama's so called 'popularity' by using reverse logic. By saying that he's 'back up' implies that he was down to begin with. This election won't even be close. I'm not sure who, where or when they conduct these 'voter preference' surveys but how can polling land-line phone users (most probably near large cities) be an accurate representation of the national polls? For every pro-Obama comment in the multitude of blog comments I read, there are 10 negatives. Based on my own poll I'd guess Obama's outpolled nationally by 90%, right? Or does that poll only apply to Web users? Or is my poll propoganda?

dems for mccain: Then I guess you would agree that McCain's big push for the town-hall meetings would also be premature...

Whenever polls show a close race or even the repub being down by a few, that is bad news for the dems. Democrats almost ALWAYS overstate their support. This country is right of center. That fact hasn't changed. Liberals continue to choose really liberal candidates, have them do a dance to the center, which looks phony, then they lose narrowly. While Obama has a better shot perhaps than Dukakis or Kerry, his support is still overstated. The media, their polls, their blogs and their propaganda does not represent mainstream america. Democrats forget this EVERY SINGLE ELECTION.

Will: This was no coincidence. The White House provided funding and intelligence to the Colombian government to assist with the rescue. If, for a moment, you don't believe that McCain was briefed in advance -- thus leading to this trip in the first place -- then you're just not paying attention.

Let's not forget what mades these comebacks necessary. McCain's team can't manage a campaign. His first collapse made Clinton's team look like management professors in a school offering MBAs.

And let's not forget what made McCain's first comeback possible. A very weak field of contenders for GOP nomination. If any of them had caught fire, a broke guy relegated to affording nothing more than townhall appearances in one New Hampshire town after another never would have made it.

Will Obama give him the same opportunity? Jury is out, of course, but for some reason I doubt it.

Paul... Another key factor in what made McCain's first comback possible: he sold his soul to the Bush administration.

By reversing (flip-flopping?) his stand on multiple issues, he agreed to adopt the Bush policy file as his own... and, as a result, gained the support of the Bush administration and the die-hard Big Oil & Big Corporate types.

After building a career as a self-proclaimed 'maverick'... McCain agreed to bend over and take it for the team.

GW Bush - a real sock puppet

McCain v. Obama

Tortoise v. Hare?

From most anti-McCain comments here, the underestimation is acute, especially considering the guy has to follow Bush (unpopular, to say the least), and has had a spotty campaign with lacking funds, has not been a strong speechmaker, must contend with Obama-centric press, yet is still polling about 5 points away from the leader.

He might lose, I dunno, but I think counting him out at this early stage is wishful thinking and hubris.

Tammy, Obama didn't rip off Hillary for the Dem nomination. It was her own incredible incompetence to run a campaign that did it.

"If, for a moment, you don't believe that McCain was briefed in advance -- thus leading to this trip in the first place -- then you're just not paying attention."

Exactly, Champ. Nice way to link him with the hostage release. Notice that Jeb Bush got in on that action, too.

John McCain shows what experience and wisdom really do for a candidate. Foreign relations are extremely important for security and trade relations. Why should our neighbors in the southern hemisphere not be engaged with us? The fact that McCain was there at the time of such a dramatic rescue is mere coincidence. What if the rescue attempt had failed? Would he then have been blamed for its failure? John McCain shows his stature, his experience, and his stability, no matter where he is. He has been molded by his heroic life experiences, his service to his country, and his valuable service in the Senate for both economic and foreign and military matters. Unlike Obama, he is not a novice. He is ready now!

McCain '08

Good job John. This couldn't come at a better time. It's time to pull Latin America closer and if this raid is part of it, right on. It's high time we pull business from China and start sending it to South America. We have created our own demise by supporting the build up of China and now we have another competitor for global resources. Lets shift the focus to the Americas if we won't do it here in the US. I think that's wrong and support Made in the USA but scales of economy seem to point our focus outside the US.

I find myself wanting to bash every democrat and liberal but I need to be more tolerant. I just have a hard time supporting another attorney with no military experience becoming president. How can any candidate even consider becoming president without serving in the military? JFK was one of the most loved Presidents but even with his military background he still had initial problems during his presidency. Just shows that even with service to country mistakes will arise. No one is perfect but his history in the service helped to bring things around. If you want to lable me as a warmonger then bring it on. I'm not promoting war...just American and world stabilty. If we weren't at the helm making the world safer in many areas then who would? China...Russia?

McCain has areas that I don't agree with but when it comes down to it I think he is the candidate to keep America safe. I also think he is bucking the Republican party enough to make changes in the ranks. Never thought of myself as a Democrat or Republican before but I guess 20 years in the Navy kinda changed things. Maybe that's part of it too. I'm biased, GO Navy! Just jokin around. I'm very proud of all our serivce members.

SO why did John go to Colombia during our nations holiday? Read this. Happy 4th of July.
