John Mc Cain graduated 845 in a class of 849 from the U.S. Naval Academy. It doesn''''t seem as though he learned very much.

Just because McCain killed the VC from 20,000 feet by dropping bombs on them doesn''t mean he has foreign diplomatic experience. Just because he spent 5 years in a VC prison as a POW doesn''t mean he has foreign diplomatic experience. These are the dreams of the GOP. What the reality of his situation is is that he has experience crashing $1 M jets, dropping bombs, and dealiong with being a POW, nothing more, nothing less.

Puritan9: I agree. Hillary has ample experience, a lot of clout, and great ideas on how to reform the health care system. She would be perfect in the role of health care "czar". Health care is the one issue, more than any other, that can have a profound impact on American society.

Enough about Hillary! Who in the world would choose a running mate who hates you and would stab you in the back. Hillary had a chance to be number 1 but she blew it with her misguided campaign strategy and her assumption that the nomination belonged to her. She is a sore loser and she would have made an awful president.

The theory that nobama is intelligent was washed away when he chose a VP candidate who won 80,000 primary votes over the one with 18,000,000 votes.

Yep, Barry is one sharp cookie, NOT!

John McCain surely could not name how many houses he owned, but Barack Obama cannot even mention his POOR brother living in Africa on $1 a day.
That is PATHETIC.
CAN BARACK HELP A BROTHER OUT? Great Bumper Sticker.
Just like Obamas brother, the Stupid Americans voting for this false character will be thrown under the bus also.

Come on- after it became obvious the Clintons lost they continued to savage Obama with no constructive end it sight- slash and burn. This is all aimed at defeating Obama so they can come back in 2012- When the Clintons offered Obama their VP slot that was supposed to be the offer he couldn''t refuse and when he denied them they took aim to bring him down. Despite the window dressing this is still the Clinton agenda-

Onward, Dems.

Destroy the neo-cons.

We don''t need a guy who voted with Bush ninety five % of the time.

Yes, NINETY FIVE PERCENT of the time.

Considering the ads that John McBush McCain and the neocon Fascist Nazi Republicans are putting out lately, it''s no wonder that Obama didn''t pick Hiliary for VP.

After all, would you want to be working with someone who stated publicly that they thought THE ENEMY in the opposite party would be better able to handle the job than you???? And that ENEMY is 74 years old and doesn''t know how to find his way "home(s)" at night???

I''d be a bit ticked off too. At least Biden didn''t "endorse" McCain like ditzy Clinton did and because of the fanatics who believed everything Clinton said, they are ready to vote for that 74 year old geriatric, even if it means 4 more years of George Bush, no universal healthcare (except for the rich), more war, a return of the draft, a bankrupt economy, a return to the Cold War, and an extinct middle-class.

Way to go, "Wild Bill" and "Bullets over Bosnia" Hiliary!!!!!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!!!
sig heil, 74 YEARS OLD!!!!!!, McCain!!!!

I''''ll bet Hillary was asked, but that she declined to accept to be on the ticket. No sense having people butt heads over policy in the highest office of the land. that is what is wrong with Bush-Cheney, two like-headed alien monsters with one being worse than the other. McCain, well his act of being contrite and not angry is really wearin thin. Fox Noise s.uc.ks

I doubt it. She (and hubby Bill) would have been a huge distraction for Obama to deal with. Who needs that headache?

How does it feel to side with red-neck mentality ?

How does it feel to be on the side of anti-abortion and know that your Republican president had the chance to change the laws in the first four years of his administration, before the Democrats took over
Congress and the Senate ?

How does it feel to pay for four dollar gas ?

How does it feel to support a war with the lives of our young men that did not need to be fought ?

How does it feel to now vote For John Mc Cain when we have it from his own lips that he voted 90% of the time with George Bush ? I assume he was voting with his heart and best judgment.

John Mc Cain graduated 845 in a class of 849 from the U.S. Naval Academy. It doesn''t seem as though he learned very much.

Hillary for VP is much ado about nothing. And people should stop discussing this idiotic nonsense. The fact is Hillary Clinton will be nominated the Health Care Czar of the Obama Adminstration. She has more knowledge and passion for this topic than anyone else. This will also be a fantastic achievement and legacy for her whether or not she runs for the top job in eight years. So lets cool it. Obama knows what he is doing, it is about time the stupid talking heads on TV learned to engage constructively for the nation and not become a destructive force.

TROLLS:


RCP Average

Obama
45.7

McCain
44.0

Obama +1.7

UP since last night.


Sorry, neo-trolls. This is the national Poll of Polls. And it''s going UP for Obama since last night.

Plus the swing states are swinging into the Democratic column.

Read it and weep.

Then go get a FOX cookie.


MMMmmMMMMM! Cookies!

Alleged PUMAs:

Hillary had a health care plan more comprehensive than Obama''s, not less. If McCain was a man of the people, why would he TAX health care benefits?

Hillary sought to end the occupation of Iraq -- just like Obama does. McCain wants to continue it. Why wouldn''t he have a sane plan to end the war in Iraq and re-focus on Afghanistan?

Hillary, like Obama, supports the Employee Free Choice Act. Why wouldn''t McCain want to give labor a fighting chance by supporting the Employee Free Choice Act?

Hillary supports MIDDLE CLASS tax reform and cuts. So does Obama. Why wouldn''t McCain want to end Trickle Up in the form of the tax cuts for the middle class instead of making tax cuts permanent for the wealthy?

Hillary and Obama support NAFTA reform. McCain does not.

Hillary and Obama support energy reforms that mean something. Why doesn''t McCain have an energy policy that funds real change away from carbon-based fuels as opposed to a "voluntary" plan -- IE, no plan at all?

In short, Obama and Hillary are virtually identical in their goals for the US. McCain is opposed to Hillary''s and Obama''s plans in every way.

We won''t even get into the pro-life/pro-choice divide.
