COLUMBIA, South Carolina (CNN) -- Former GOP presidential candidate John McCain called for the removal of the Confederate battle flag from atop the South Carolina Statehouse on Wednesday, acknowledging that his refusal to take such a stance during his primary battle for the Palmetto State was a "sacrifice of principle for personal ambition."

McCain will do fine just being consistent and honoring party values....Obama has a magnificent stone about his neck named Wright that all the ''young'' voters in the world won''t help him rise above. Obamamania was a flash...like most manias.

It''s okay Mr. McCain, you will get the votes of the mature free thinking Americans, if Obama gets the nomination. We''re not pulled in by his total lies!

Actually the Young Republican organization has a much more vast influence on voters than the YOung Democrats. I helped in two democratic campaigns where they were coming at us like flies! Terribly difficult to fight them off.

"And yet John McCain has vowed to make a serious play for the 18- to 29-year-old crowd that''s often identified with "Obama-mania."

Funny, usually GOP members try to attract the young when they are a bit younger ...

John, you will need Cindy to be able to appeal to the young voters...I don''t think he has much of a chance attracting young voters unless the lovely Cindy is involved. She would be the finest First Lady we ever had but Michelle is not bad either.
