McCain would have had a better chance of picking Jessica Simpson for his VP. Please get over it. This election is not about the color of ones skin, male or female, but about facts. It's about who is going to do what needs to be done for AMERICA. So far I have not heard anything positive McCain is going to do. True enough it is ones opinion whom they want to vote for, but for for whats right. Simply JUST VOTE!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous 7:28, what's pathetic is all of you Obama supporters that are accusing people of voting for McCain because his running mate is a woman. I'm so sick of hearing comments like that and those that accuse Republicans of only voting for McCain because Obama is black. I will agree that SOME people will vote for McCain because his running mate is a woman, but guess what? A lot of people (people who have never cared about a presidential election before in their lives) will vote for Obama simply because he's black. This year's race will be totally different than any other in history. We've had 4 white men running in the past, and this year people have a choice of voting for someone because of their sex or ethnicity OR they can look at the real issues at hand, which is what most Republicans do in the first place. I support McCain because I believe he will make a great leader, and I think he can change some things in Washington. Sarah Palin is a great asset as well. I think Obama is a smart man, but let's face it, he is not at all ready to lead this country. Empty promises and false hope just won't cut it.

NOBAMA in 2008!

I am really disappointed how we as a country was celebrating the pregnancy of an underage unmarried girl on TV, even John Mccain approved of this when the so called boyfriend who was dubbed very notorious with girls, was hugged on Tv by John Mcain. For God's sake the girl is 17 years old, If Sarah Palin had stayed at home she would have taught her daughter about was is called "SEX EDUCATION". Who is now a celebrity Palin or Obama, please let us get really if Obama had no washington experience, what experience does Sarah have, being a mayor of 7,000 people and being a governor in Alaska so what is the washington experience we are talking about. God forbid that something should happend to Mcain at 72 years old who is going to be the President of one of the greatest country in the world? please let us get real.

Obama reminds me of a middle school boy being mean to the girl he has the biggest crush on. Obama, keep it coming, and then please make an appearance here in Alaska!

Obama's tax reform: Adopt a Poor!

Obama knew very well what he was saying , and if he didn't ? well then I hate to think he will some day talk to Putin. He knew this will create controversy, and that's what he was aiming for. He was practically forgotten with all the furor over Palin. So he took a swipe at her, and has people talking about him again. He is a sleek politician, and he will do dirty politics as usual, and there will be no change in Washington. Now he has to beg Bill Clinton to go on the campaign trail for him, after he practically called him a racist to win the primary. I am ashamed that I even still talk about this guy. He put Hillary down, like no other opponent ever put a woman down, and now this guy has the gall, to ask her to campaign for him, when he chose Biden and is afraid now he will lose the election McCaine /Palin look better to me every day. What a hypocrit.

Please, and what Obama has done besides vote present? He got lucky that some activist paid for his years in Harvard, some other idiot send a letter pleading to Harvard officials to accept him. and the only reason he won senate was because the previous senator was involved in a sex scandal. They put Alice Palmer and when elections came, she wanted to put Obama but he lost, instead Jesse Jackson won and Obama cried like a baby about until they took it from Jackson and gave it to him. See, he tries to say that he EARNED his way, but he didn't. McCain may not come from Harvard or have shady connections. Do you think Obama would have refused to leave as McCain did when he was POW. That idiot would have ran like hell. McCain is not perfect, no one is, that Bill Clinton, not Kennedy, not even Washington was perfect. But McCain has true love for his country and that says alot!
Besides, I rather go 4 more years under republican and next election, dems better pick Hillary. Dems wanna see a dem in office, then pick Hillary in 2012

Did anyone watch both conventions? In the democratic convention they were talking about the future & how they plan on trying to fix the mess we’re currently in. Offshore drilling? Has anyone asked himself or herself as to why we haven’t done this in the past? Research it then you’ll know the real truth. Why disturb our ecologic balance when we have other otions? The republican convention was primarily about bashing the democrats and belittling the working class(did anyone really listen what Gulliani said?).They tried to convince the working class that they cared by basically copying what the democrats spoke in their convention. McCain did use his military tactics, which was watch the enemy (watch their convention then talk about SOME of the issues people want to hear about) hit them where it hurts (Hillary not being picked) and go in for the kill. Sorry McCain…..just because you picked a woman who has more testosterone than your average soccer mom doesn’t make me trust your poor tactics to run this country and get us out of the hole we’re in. And as far as being taxed…I’d rather pay more taxes than NOT have job because of the republicans giving tax breaks to companies sending AMERICAN jobs over seas. AND YOU WANT MORE YEARS OF THIS…McCain “I agreed with President Bush more than 90% of the time”….please everyone, we need fix this mess we are in. It’s not a blue or red thing it’s an “America The Great” thing…..let’s try to bring back “The Great” in America……not have other countries labeling us “America The Poor”!

He needs some lipstick on his blue lips. He meant what he said, and he said what he meant. And all his jokes won't wipe it off the map. The reason why he said it, to get back in the lime light. Bad news, is better then no news. Now he is back to attack and to defend his lies. Yesterday
he belittled small town mayors to take another swipe at Palin, he said he appreciates them filling pot holes, cutting trees, and picking up garbage. Shows how disconnected he is. A mayor does a lot more.

The mayor of our town is the city's chief officer. We are the 4th fastest growing city in the country. Our mayor directs city departments, and appoints department heads, with the advice of City Council.
The Mayor submits a budget for our City by the end of each calendar. The mayor presides at City Council and votes in case of a tie. Our mayor has
veto power to veto whole ordinances and appropriations bills
The Mayor also appoints MEMBERS OF city borards and commissions including the Board of Education and the City College and Housing Authority. Since Obama supposely was a Community activist, he should know all that. In my opinion he is insulting and stupid. McCaine/Palin2008.

This type of mud slinging today will come back to haunt us all tomorrow.
So I say, Obama, speak to the issues you too Mccain.

McCain says he can change Washington: Paps you were there 26 YEARS and it has not changed. Give it up, thanks for your efforts thus far, please retire.

I do not see the big deal about what Obama said. If you people were watching the news then you would've heard that he was not talking about Sarah Palin. I also don't understand is that McCain can say the same thing about Hillary Clinton and no one makes a big deal about it. But the moment Obama opens his mouth he is in trouble that is just not fair.You people also need to leave Obama alone ; who are you people to judge him.
Another thing that bothers me is that the Republicans want to say that Obama is a celebrity well why don't they take a look at Sarah Palin who is a overnight celebrity ; I see her on magazine covers and she also have a doll made(hip hip hooray).If the Republicans can sit around and say that Obama is this celebrity why don't they take a look at Palin. I can't also believe you people can't trust Obama; when for 8 years you put your trust in George W Bush; who's has done nothing but disgrace this country. Obama wants CHANGE and I believe it is time to CHANGE. One more thing I have to say to you Obama haters is that he is not a Pig, racist, sexist and a muslim.

Wow Ken Crawford. You think you have this whole presidential race figured out. I am a republican, and believe me, I'm far from wealthy. To say that republicans are only voting for McCain because he's black is absolutely absurd and ignorant. You can't possibly tell me that you don't agree that people who have never cared about an election a day in their life are going to come out and vote for Obama because he's black or McCain because his running mate is a woman. This election is going to be based on something totally different than it has in the past. In the past, we've basically seen 4 white men in this race, so all people could look at were the issues at hand. This year is different. So many liberals want to call conservatives racist, but the truth is, we're looking at the real issues, like we always have. I'm voting for McCain/Palin because I think they can lead this country to energy independence (Palin is a huge asset in that respect), I don't want my taxes raised (Obama will do that), and because if this war against terrorism isn't finished now, we're going to see it happen again 5 years down the road, except it may be happening in our own backyards. McCain and Palin truley have America's best interest in their hearts and minds. Obama is a smart man, but he wants this for personal satisfaction, not love of the United States.
