So Catstevens, are you a Hillary supporter who is going to the other sandbox to play, now that your gal is pretty much wiped out? Or are you content with politics as usual or worse if McCain gets his hands on America? Time to change course my friend and McCain isn't going to do that for us.

Hillary is going to campaign hard for Obama; she will bring in all her supporters and maybe even some of the republicans who backed her to mess things up.
She has shown how tough she is.

Hillary is dead right in this commment. John McCain is a more refined hypocrite than Bush. He appears to forget his previous discourses.
1. When Hamas won elections in Palestine, he said US and Israel should engage them in talks for peace in the region. Now a candidate, he says they are terrorists and falsely accuses Obama.
2. He fought Bush tax custs in 2000 as irresponsible. Now a candidate, he not only supports it but wants to make it permanent. Like marrying a girl he did not want to date.
3. Only after AP ran a story that his wife has financial holdings and interests in Sudan, they decided to dump it.
4. He says he will end war in Iraq in 4 years as if he has the prescription drug that Bush did not know about it.
5. For Bush & McCain Iran is a terrorist nation. For others like India, China, Russia, Venezuela it is a UN country.
The more this SCUM opens his mouth, he looks more of a seasoned hypocrite Washington politician.
Go OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush & McCain will negotiate with anybody over anything, with one pre-condition:
the counterproductive and needless killing of American GIs and locals does NOT stop.

1. The accusation is not false. Hamas has stated publicly that their preferred candidate is Obama. Obama has responded that he cares not a fig about Hamas.
2. Did McCain fight them? Let me research....I believe that he voted for it, but that was a party-line vote (48-3 GOP vs 2-46 Dem, with the ind. voting against. Cheney broke the tie in favour of the bill).
4. You can't have it both ways any more than Obama's critics can. Either he wants to be there for 100 years, or he has a "magic wand" that will get you out in 4. Pick a story and stick with it.
5. Iran is more-or-less openly affiliated with Hezbollah, which is regarded as a terrorist organisation by countries as tolerant as the Netherlands (not to mention the US). As such, any US politician (including McCain) is entirely correct, under US law, in referring to Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism. I disagree with that assessment, but then, I'm not American.

"...a question from a CNN iReporter who asked why she thought so many of her supporters would choose McCain over Obama."
Well because of race, Reverend Wright's comments and maybe the Jewish vote?
Anything else I'm missing?

In terms of policy choices, Clinton is presumably closer to Obama than she is to McCain, but that has to be a guess, because Obama's only relevant accomplishments and attributes are a few speeches and his ability to spellbind susceptible individuals.
However, for me, after 8 years of the worst president ever, the most important issue by far is competence. Right now, I think Obama and McCain are both far from acceptable on this criteria. A very disappointing choice.

"It would be a terrible mistake for my supporters to vote for Senator McCain over Senator Obama."
The fact is that there are very LITTLE differences in the positions of Clinton and Obama. And although he may be the YOUNGEST candidate in the field and may have the least POLITICAL experience he has as much (if not MORE) KNOWLEDGE of world politics then either of the other two. When you ADD that he has more KNOWLEDGE, then McCain on EVERY other issue (economy, global warming, alternative energy that faces this country and the world for the next 4, 8 or 100 years it the 'cake walk' that McCain said the Iraq war would initially be (and in this case it's correct).

Your comment is full of BS my friend. You can't just say that Obama has more knowledge than Mc*insert lame liberal joke* on EVERY issue. In some cases Obama does have more knowledge, but in others he doesn't.
Whether you like it or not, Iraq and other terrorist nations/group are going to be a concern of the world for a while, and Obama doesn't have the military backing to run a war. I know Obama runs on the premise that hes going to take us out of Iraq, but just like the democratic congress I severely doubt he can live up to that promise. Remember Nixon's promise to get out of Vietnam? I see Obama's promise going along the same lines. So I think we need someone who has a solid plan of action in Iraq and a little more experience.

"the 'cake walk' that McCain said the Iraq war would initially be"
Iraq has cost us less in 5 years than Iwo Jima (Ito) did in 5 weeks... and, strategically, it is infinitely more more important. If you overweight people 'not liking us' as part of the cost, then maybe it will eventually approach even up.

''When you ADD that he has more KNOWLEDGE,''
If knowledge was important to a presidential candidate's electability, how could McCain be the GOP nominee and not Ron Paul?
as we see with the Obama 'scandals', a candidate's knowledge and voting record are unimportant to him/her being elected
to paraphrase MLK, let's just say it's not about the content of one's character or one's deeds, even 40 years later...
it's also quite sad to see people still looking for that corner to be turned in Iraq
and likewise to see a president compare political foes to nazi appeasers
when an inbred marsupial can see there is NO plausible comparison between this 'war on terror' and WW2
you know I finally, after 7 years, heard a number applied to AQ?
2500
it fills me with hopelessness at times to see people misled by these ruthless ideologues and players of mind games
like I said, knowledge, eh...
let me tweak those deep-seated pathos and fears
now that's good old fashioned politics

McCain changed his tune precisely because he knows what got Bush elected to a second term. Bush was re-elected despite the war mistakes being well publicized, and the renditions, habeas-corpus abuses and the unwarranted surveillance in the news. People are really afraid the Muslims are coming to their home town.

"he should review the Vince Foster Boon-doggel...."
should we get Ken Starr, the GOP's hitman-investigator-special counsel to look at the vince foster case AGAIN?
he's the one who declared it a suicide the first time.
idiot.

And George Bush flew the planes into the WTC himself, and the Easter Bunny is real.

Leaving the white house empty would be an improvement over another four years of Bush III (McCain).
Then, maybe it is the emptiness of McCain that his supporters like?

Of course it could lead to a terrible mistake. But good grief, if people haven't figured out the disaster of republican politics and policies in the last seven years, they're certainly not going to come to some magical understanding in the next six months! I'm sick of cry babies. If Obama loses the nomination, I'll vote for Clinton despite the fact that I've grown to be disgusted with her. McCain represents total disaster, & my personal feelings won't get in the way of that reality.

Hillary supporting Obama will be history in the making.
The Obama/Hillary ticket would be tough to beat. But Hillary's ego trumps all and I don't see it happening.

I beleive the percentage of Hillary Clinton supporters who - in the end - do not vote for Barack Obama will be in the single digits.
Why do I believe that?
Because John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsberg will almost certainly retire within the next Presidential term. Because the war must come to an end. Because America's jobs are being outsourced. Because gas costs too much. Etc, etc...
Obama will be the next president because he understands this. ...and McCain... ...McCain does not...
Judging from the special elections recently - with some very Republican districts voting in Democrats - I'd say the election is the Democrats' to lose. Let's hope they don't blow it.

I fear, I fear, I fear that some awful concoction of racism; the authoritarian impulse to divide the world into black and white, US and THEM, and which requires an enemy to affirm national strength and a sense of proctectedness; anti-intellectualism; class prejudice/envy; rejection of self-interest in favor of "values"-voting...
...that all of these things will sink the Obama effort.
I hope not. But.....

it would be a terrible mistake to believe anything that comes out of that fat trap of hers, the Clinton's are unable to tell the truth, they are liars.
