I loved the young man who was head of the young Republicans at a major (eliteist) university in the East who admitted they had not made any attempt to sign up/register new voters, all they do is contact and solicit registered Republican voters to ensure that they all vote and vote for McCain, in other words loyalty to the GOP is the only concern.

Republicans made much hay out of a video that purportedly shows Obama attending a party where Palestinian, and Columbia University Professor, Rashid Khalidi was also a guest.

This is the same person that an organization that John McCain is a board member of donated $486,000 to enable him to help the Palestinian cause.Of course John''s excuse is the the same as Ronnie''s "I don''t recall that activity".

McCain''s campaign said it was reaching more voters than Bush''s re-election campaign did at this point four years ago, more than one million a day. Volunteers in reliably Republican states like Utah were bused to nearby battlegrounds like Nevada.!!

Most likely the McCain campaign is getting GOP officials in Nevada to issue voter registrations to the Utah residents so they could vote in Nevada while they were there. You know the GOP voter registration slogan "Vote early and often in the presidential election"

Its doubtful that McSame will even carry his own home state which will speak volumes about his candidacy...Obama/Biden 2008!

John and Sarah in love with Joe the Plumber, my question is can he get to work on time?(He couldnt make it to a McCain campaign event, evidenced by McCain idiotically calling for Joe the Plumber over and over on national TV. Probably the problem was that the campaign had not put the payment for the appearance into his hand in cash), he did show up at another one so I assume the campaign got him the money necessary to ensure his appearance on time. My question is why isn''t he serving his country in Iraq or Afghanistan instead of loafing around political campaigns??

Did everyone hear Palin fall for the prank of thinking she was talking to French President Sarkozy last week.
Here it is........

A sad example of both Palin''s intelligence and McCian''s judgement for picking her.

HROAMS.... Also when he came back from the Hanoi Hilton he was never charged for giving up imformation to the enemy like his fellow prisoners were.

That is correct. And to show the difference enlisted men in Korean POW camps were courtmartialed for doing the exact same thing as McCain, the difference was they didn''t have a military family with connections all the way to the Pentagon. He violated the UCMJ on 32 occasions yet walked away without penalty.I can say that I think the Navy did recognize his problems to some extent as they never gave him a command or promote him to admiral. They felt that he probably had what we now call PTSD and should not be in command of troops/units. He received only minimum awards, while James Stockdale received the CMH for his conduct in the POW camp.
