Re: McCain and Palin BARELY graduated college!
WoW. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It's amazing that Palin even got elected GOVERNOR never mind selected as VP! No wonder she doesn't know anything and they both seem fairly, um, well, unsophisticated (to be kind). I know who I'm voting for!

IT'S ALL ABOUT COLOR!
This presidential race is all about color! How easily we forget history! How quickly the hard lessons of the past are faded away. McCain and Palin's ''disagreement'' is nothing more than a tactic to steer those not able to think on their own, away from what is really happening. The color issue. Trust me...it's all about color. RED, ...

Re: Palin vs Biden
''Obama partisan - if you go out there and show yourself for who you are, you have no chance. Here, memorize all this and don't deviate from it. Just turn on a lot of sarcasm, snuggle up to urban elites out there, and you'll be okay. If Gov. Palin or Sen. McCain throw something at you you can't handle, turn it back to George Bush, or that ...

Worst Candidate ALWAYS Wins U.S. Elections
Looking back on United States Presidential Election History, I have concluded that the WORST Candidate ALWAYS Wins the Election for the U.S. Presidency. I could cite all the examples, such as Wendel Wilkie, Adlai Stevenson, Richard Nixon, Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and George H. Walker Bush (Senior) along with George W. Bush (Junior); but you get ...

What DFW thought about McCain 08
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121218708445533979.html?mod=googlenews_wsj McCain himself has obviously changed; his flipperoos and weaselings on Roe v. Wade, campaign finance, the toxicity of lobbyists, Iraq timetables, etc. are just some of what make him a less interesting, more depressing political figure now—for me, at least. It's ...

Lets direct the discussion to issues
Maybe I'm only speaking for myself, but I'm really bored with the games campaigns play and with how the media lets them play them. For example, of course Obama was targeting Palin and McCain with the pig in lipstick and smelly fish references, but did they really have to react like the world had ended? And I did find it interesting that McCain's ...

Not a serious candidate
Nice article, and I agree entirely. But if Palin is not a serious candidate, what does that say about Obama? Sure, McCain may be old (notwithstanding that his mother is in her 90s and still going strong), which means that Palin could be far closer to having to step into the president's shoes than any VP in a long time. But there is no question ...

Re: Palin disgraced herself
I completely agree with you! Now every republican is all of sudden happy to see a woman going for office? Hypocrites all around!!

A Cabinet Post for Hillary?
Hey, I'm as disappointed as any of you Hillary supporters that she isn't the nominee of the Democrats. But I'm over it and ready to look ahead. It's time to get behind Obama and get the Bush Bums out of the White House! PUMA? Get real. The only ones who are benefiting from the likes of you all are the Republicans. Nothing says ''weak'' better than ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...
