The fact that every single one of these bloggers has nothing to offer except a stream of what McCaskill calls "nasty, nasty stuff" just proves her point. Thanks McNastys! Thanks all you "low road" McBushies. The republicans have nothing to offer and can only hide behind their smears and character assassinations.

Jane-- What a testimony. It is so good to see real analysis in motion. Who will I argue with? Oh yeah Nat.

Jane Hussein, my age has nothing to do with it. Lets just say I'm old enough to vote and sleep with 50 year old men, but I'm not old enough to have a Cosmo at the nearest club. But if you can't follow my hyper-disjointed reasoning than that's your fault not mine. Let me have my fun. Anyway there are half-truths in most of the crap people put on the bolgs. But a half-truth is like having a half-a**, it just doesn't sit well!Toodles!

Hey Jack, I agree – McCaskill wants to be vice president. And she is a liability, simply because women of a certain age are loyal to other women. My mother remembers a time when she was chased around a desk by a male boss, and her only recourse was to quit her job. There was no women’s movement. Women in my mother’s generation know they will not live to see a woman president, and they’re going to take out that anger on Obama and anyone connected to him. I don’t uphold or defend them. It’s just an observation. Of all the women in my condo development and all of my mother’s older women friends, NOT ONE is going to vote for Obama, including the Democrats. I’ve asked some of them if they’d vote for Obama if Hillary was on the ticket, and the answer was a resounding NO! As my mother explained – they don’t want Hillary anywhere on the ticket. They want him to lose, and then Hillary can run again. Don’t think that’s going to happen, but it’s interesting how they think. At any rate, I hope Obama’s not counting old “old white women” to put him in the White House. As for McCaskill, I’ll be amazed if she’s re-elected.

Jane, unfotunately in our two party system, it always boils down to the lesser of two evils.

Thank you Robert and for your comments. There will be many, many more Obama supporters recanting and going with McCain in November. Obama is imploding more everyday, and will continue this downward spiral until November when he loses the election .

How many black presidents have you all voted for?

"I think 'they' is everyone out there who wants to make sure Barack Obama doesn't become President," McCaskill said Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

"I think when Barack was using that phraseology, he was talking about the larger issue of the challenges he has in this election," she said, "You know, it is harder to get elected president of the United States if you are black."

McCaskill added, "I don't think he was suggesting that John McCain was racist."

So a far as she knows Obama wasn't calling McCain a raicst. He was merely ssaying anyone who doesn't support or vote for Obama is racist.

Got it Claire. You cantake your foot of oyour mouth anytime now.

Yet another Obama statement that must be refined and re-interpreted for its proper meaning.

Thanks for clearing that up. What he MEANT to say was...

Obama is a racist. That's just the way it is.

Here is a great article on it:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/negative_ads_and_the_race_card.html

"
It's true; Obama is black. And the person who keeps mentioning that Barack Obama is black most often is Barack Obama.
Yet, in reality, the typical American, according to a recent Gallup poll, is far more prone to spurn an elderly candidate (or gay, atheist, Hispanic, Jew, etc.) than they are to reject an African-American candidate."

Wait Jane are you a real woman? A real woman wouldn't ask another woman's age like that! You would already know. You asked me an irrelvant question (McCain supporters seem to know irrelavance well). Anyway I'm kidding. I do actually look up info from both sides because I think it is important to be informed. I used to date a conservative, and I was willing to be open to opinions. I just hate pettiness, and it's getting to that point for many and sometimes me. In November we'll see where America stands on the issues. It would be unwise to say who'll win the election now. It could go either way but this is definitely the most important election in most's lifetime.

I just can't believe what is happening on this thread-- people are actually thinking about issues. Especially those who were drinking the koolaid before the Europe trip. Aside from Jane, what's going on?

Chubbs: what a sad world we live in.... to bad your family has to act so childish. They should be looking at the policies of both. They should be basing their vote on who will be the best person to help America and the future of our children and grandchildren.

How sad you people are.

America, there's the toilet!! Is there any intelligent life in America? Are America's great schools only for international students? Or maybe this blog has an inordinate number of skinheads who learnt to type.

There are a lot of Republican sypathesisers on this blog. There must be one that can explain what NcCains policies are without mentioning Obama. Please educate the American voters on McCain's stance. What are the difference between McLame's policies & President Bush. I am waiting, don't all of you respond at once. This should be very intersting fiction.

Obama 08

Someone needs to remind Obama, his handlers, aides, supporters etc. that 99.9 % of us are no longer stuck in the 60's. Race thing just doesn't work...geez we are too busy trying to make ends meet. Personally, I don't see EITHER of these candidates as beneficial so it will be up to the individual person to survive the negative economic changes that we will face....I am basing my vote.. on the security issue for this country something that I have no control over.......

Ha. So now they are admitting that Barry was playing the race card. McCaskill should have just kept her mouth shut.

Elitist-- let's start with energy independance. McCain, responsible drilling and free market solutions to alternatve energy, nuclear. Obama, better auto mileage, inflate tires, increase gas tax, no nuke, no drilling. Care too add.

"..All the European Leaders he visited (Germany, France & England) has the thrown their wholehearted support behind Sen Obama foreign policy.."

You forgot Hamas, you know, one of our enemies...

Why on earth would you vote for someone your enemies endorse...

I tell ya what Obama supporters...

Take everything about Obama, his friends, his church, his comments, his wife, etc... and let's pretend he's the same person, except he's a white guy.

Let's say he went to a church that is "proud" of his white heritage and the white community. Just pretend he's said and done everything the same up until now EXCEPT he's white, would you still vote for him?

The same people that call non-Obama supporters raci$t, will vote for a raci$t, as long as he's black, or half black.

Black or White, I would not vote for a closet raci$t.

"c'mon now, do your research before you make such stupid posts!"

Hey Anne, why don't you do some research before making a complete @ss of yourself.

Barack Obama:

"The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity," Obama said on WIP. "She doesn't. But she is a typical white person who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, there's a reaction that's been bred into our experiences that don't go away, and that sometimes comes out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."
