"So what if McCain is old?" This is a HUGE factor. More experience is not better experience. I want the smartest person we have to be the leader of this country. Aren''t we all sick of the "regular guy"?

McCain cheats on his first wife while she lay in the hospital, then leaves the sick wife and marries the rich airhead. But the media wants to focus on Obama''s vacation? This passes for journalism?

Qulaifications to be President:

Ability to lead.
Inspire Americans.
Set reasoned, well-thought out policy.

Sure sounds like Obama to me. The old, "get off my lawn," Granpa Simpson, admits he is "not as sharp" if he doesn''t get enough sleep. Is this who we want making decisions? Isn''t it possible for the President to get less sleep than only campaigning? Do we want a President that is not sharp when that phone rings at 3 AM?

"Breath of fresh air?" "Much needed change?" Are you all naive or just off the turnip truck? So what if McCain is old- Doesn''t it matter to you that "change" in the wrong direction will be disasterous with an inexperianced unqualified person??- Obama who will raise your taxes- develop a socialistic society based on discriminating the whites! Are you white? Doesn''t that matter to you? It d--- well should. Voting for a "D" ( just because you think it is time for ''change'' is just plain DUMB.

Rationale For Super-Delegates
Super-delegates are designed to act as a check on ideologically extreme or inexperienced candidates. The super-delegate system has been called a safety-value.
It has been 30 years since the Democratic Party had a cliffhanger going into the Convention. If there is no clear winner after state primaries and caucuses, then the super-delegates -- who are bound only by their consciences -- will decide the nominee.

Based on DNC rules and the history of democratic conventions, Hillary''s name should/must be on the ballot in order that super delegates can vote their conscience.

Hillary for President

And speaking of vacations, how''s Nancy''s book doing? Has she broken the 3000 mark?

That should get her right up there with ''The Joy of Watching Paint Dry''.

Sold out the American people to do a book tour. What a loser!

This chick is so far up Ubama''s arse I''m surprised he can sit. So now we''re treated to blow by blow of Ubama''s vacation. The ''fix'' is definately in for this guy.

But it won''t do him any good.

Are you kidding us? McCain can''t even get his geography straight! Obama is superior to McCain in every respect. Vote to get America out of the dumpster - VOTE OBAMA!

You want enthusiasm go to a football game- The Commander is Chief is not a rock star- that is a pathetic illusion- It would be preferred if people understood the job of a leader is not to be the next Hitler but the next Reformer with experiance. Who gives a s--- if McCain is ''old'' --he is MORE QUALIFIED to lead this great nation than Obama who has only 143 days in the senate. Wake up.
