If he would run against Hillary he could do the Hokey-Pokey and win the election. That would is so well-hated across America ... she is polarizing which means there is a significant core that loves her despite or because of all the Clinton scandals. That polarized force will not be able to withstand the Republican/Independent/Democratic opposition it forges.

I - as a life long Democrat - would vote for a republican president and congress if we would nominate this person.

Let's take McCain on a sprawling tour of the country. The poor in N.O. are still hurting; the infrastructure hasn't improved significantly since the one collapsed; gas will hit $4 in a couple months; the subprime catastrophe is sabotaging our economy; states are suing each other for water; boomers are starting to retire; gang violence is increasing etc.

McCain has a long term vision (100 years long) of Iraq but is blind to the domestic troubles we face - unless a lobbyist buddy is asking for his intervention.

The Hillary supporters are absolutely delusional to believe Hillary could beat McCain. She has shown no ability to win Independents, she would energize the conservative Republicans to come out in force, and no one can argue with a straight face that "Clinton Republicans" (is there such a thing?) will come close to outnumbering McCain Democrats. Purple states will become red and blue ones will become purple. He is the only Republican in that field that could have done this. A Clinton nomination will ensure the perfect confluence of events for the Republicans to hold the White House in a year when it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the Dems would get it. Her supporters see the Democratic nomination as the end game, but the nomination will be worthless if she wins it, and they'll realize in November that the PRESIDENCY that they lost (again) is what matters.

They're not called 'dittoheads' for nothing. Looks like Texas local office elections might be blue(LOL)

quote from bsmith:
It's hard to know how seriously to take things like Rush Limbaugh's call on his listeners to vote for Hillary as the only hope for GOP victory in the fall; there's not much evidence that people ever cast tactical votes like that in meaningful numbers.

Still, an interesting report from a reader in Dallas:
On the local conservative radio stations, many Republicans are calling and complaining about feeling “disenfranchised”.
Apparently, they didn’t realize that by implementing Rush Limbaugh’s strategy of voting for Hillary in the Primaries to prolong the Democrats fist-fight, they would not be allowed to vote for any of the Republicans on the rest of the ballot.

McCain is a failure. He goes around saying hes a conservative yet hes the farthest thing from it, and wants to continue in Iraq for another 100 years. This world is dangerous, and considering China is the country that holds us up financially i'd be worrying about them instead of third world nations that dont even have an airforce or navy.

And in the end it all comes back to that one problem. You can find a million good reasons for Iraq and they're all irrelevant; we simply do not have the money.

The Canadian dollar is worth more than the American now.

Please midia, let's do a better job that, I am tired of that guy political view on thing.

I am sure he would have won the war in Iraq already. That guy is annoying as if he can't see the true reality that American people are facing.

I have to agree with the consensus that McCain can't devastate Hillary in the General election, but what irks me is that she would have to garner a "WIN" in these last primaries to get the numbers for the Dem nomination.

Now what do you think that would do to her "ego"??? Christ, we would have to put up with more of her and her husband's "crap."

I agree, McCain would most likely "coast" to a win over Hillary. WHAT THAT WOMAN NEEDS, IS "TOTAL" HUMILIATION. Of course, losing to McCain would give her that, but at a later time, and leave her with another "chance" to perpetuate the "comeback kid" myth, in 2012.

Her come-upance, should happen NOW, proving what a loser she really is, by not succeeding in her last ditch effort to change the tide of wins, against her.

Obama can give her that loss NOW,,,,,, and that is what she deserves, for staying with that abomination of a man she is married to, yet????? That man has done more, single handed, to circumvent the moral teachings of all parents, and the Constitution, and the order of law is puts before us. This is why teen girls now openly utilize the oral sex act, as a way of avoiding coitus, with a date. "THE PRESIDENT SAID, THIS IS NOT HAVING SEX",,,, what a "crok of s__t, for a President to be used as an example to let our youth, flaunt our moral teachings back in our faces.......

The Democrats need to wrap this nomination process up, because 'poor Old Man' McCain is pushing national security as his stiech. Hillary can't complete to John McCain on national security based on experience. An inexperienced public official such as Hillary can't claim superior national security experience over an ex-navy captain, Vietnam-POW with multiple congressional awards, and current ranking-member Republican of the Armed Forces committee. It is a recipe for failure. However, Obama can approach national security from a different angle than Clinton can. McCain only has to reinforce Hillary's strong support of the war initially, and then call her a cowardly flip-flopper who denounced Gen. Betraeus's surge efforts last year, and then Hillary will be done. The only thing that could save Hillary vs McCain is if the economy went from recession to depression prior to Nov. 4th.

MSNBC post the truth about all these negative claims Hillary is making against Obama. That is your obligation to your viewers. I am on the verge of giving up on your network all together. Please read and post.

Clinton Says Obama Was MIA on Afghanistan. But Was She, Too?
In the past few days, as Hillary Clinton has intensified her attacks on Barack Obama prior to the all-important primaries in Ohio and Texas, she has claimed that he has been "missing in action" regarding Afghanistan. Clinton has been trying to make the case that she's better prepped than Obama to be commander-in-chief and more qualified to answer the phone at 3:00 a.m. when crisis strikes. To prove her point, she notes that Obama, who chairs a foreign relations subcommittee covering European matters, has held not one hearing on how to bolster NATO in Afghanistan. This weekend she told reporters on her campaign plane that he has failed in a "responsibility that is directly related to Afghanistan." She urged the journos to grill Obama on this. She said that Afghanistan is "one of the two most important challenges internationally." And she added, "I think he was missing in action...because he was running for president."

Senator Joe Biden, has held several hearings on Afghanistan that covered NATO's role there. It's not as if the foreign relations committee did nothing on Afghanistan because Obama did not take on the mission. Also, as happens with many committees, the chair of the full committee reserves the right to handle the big issues him- or herself, and Afghanistan counts as a big issue.

Clinton ought to be careful about hurling stones in this area. As she always tells campaign crowds, she is a member of the Senate armed services committee. In February the committee held two hearings on Afghanistan. On February 8, it focused on appropriations for U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates was a witness. Eight days later, the committee zeroed in on U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, holding a two-part hearing examining recent reports on Afghanistan. Clinton attended neither of these hearings. She was on the campaign trail.

Many hearings occur on Capitol Hill without all members--or even a majority of members--of the committee in attendance. In fact, that's more common than not. At plenty of hearings, the committee chair is the only senator or representative present. So it's no surprise or scandal that Clinton was not there for these two Afghanistan hearings. (She did participate in two hearings on Afghanistan held by the committee in the first half of 2007.) But in a campaign season, a spinner could easily say that she's guilty of the same charge she tosses at Obama: putting presidential campaigning ahead of Afghanistan. Her neglect, certainly, is not the same as his: he held no hearings for a year; she attended no hearings this year. But as Clinton throws the kitchen sink at Obama, she ought to make sure nuts and bolts don't bounce back at her.

McCain is old, Obama has no experience or stand and Hillary is polarizing and unellectable. The choice will be between McCain, a war hero who has reached over to the left crossing his own party lines (centrist), or Obama an eloquent orator with no track record, few plans and an extreme left wing following. Givin this limited choice can this country afford to let the Pelosi, Kennedy, Kucinich, Jackson, Hastings extreme left beleive they have a mandate by electing Obama.

He is a pacifist and is ready to dismantle our missle defense system, discontinue weapon development, and will not continue to build nuclear weapons. Understaning this would be great if anyone believed the rest of the world would do the same but that is asinine. Does anyone believe Ronald Reagan could have won the cold war with this idiotic thinking. Obama has been linked with muslim radicals, racist extremist, and liberals that want to give everbody everthing (free college, free medical, etc. Someone tell me who is going to pay for it.

Can't wait for a McCain / Obama debate. Let's see what McCain has to say about the economy and domestic policy issues. I did not mention a McCain / Hillary debate. She would claim she has more experience on foreign policy then McCain and then put out ads answering a white phone after it rings 6 or 7 times and then get swamped by McCain with her 49+ negative ratings with the Amercian people. So we'll just leave her out of the equation. And then Obama can explain to McCain one more time when baited with his debate comments that he would protect American interests if forced too in Iraq after a troop withdrawal by stating read my lips donkey breadth, no one said anything about putting troops back into Iraq. There are other more effective ways to eliminate a terrorist base in Iraq without having to send in troops to act as policemen. Believe me, Obama will be ready for McCain on this issue. And if need be Obama might ask McCain how is it he (McCain) is such a tough man when he allowed Bush and his campaign to abuse and smear his own wife in the SC 2000 primary race yet kissed the guys butt for the last eight years. I'd like to hear the explanation for that?

He knows that white America labels blacks as the typical drug user though many more whites use drugs than blacks. This is racist America. Bill Clinton used the "race card" in South Carolina by signaling to whites to remember that Obama is "black" when he made the comments that Jesse Jackson also won South Carolina in the 80's. If it wasn't about race then why didn't Bill Clinton make the same comparison of others who won races in the 80's to those of his wife?

Hillary then used the "sympathy card" in New Hampshire when she thought she was about to be out of the race early and then right afterwards came out of that race as the same "ruthless" candidate that many have been telling me for years that she is.

Since then she has lost 11 straight contests, which prompted her to accuse Obama of plagiarism. The facts has shown that every candidate, especially Hillary, routinely uses the words and phrases of those before and currently around them. It was absolutely a ridiculous claim, yet the media did not jump all over her about that.

When that didn't stick someone in her campaign (as reported by a Drudge reporter) sent pictures of Obama dressed in native African garb to the media with the intent of portraying Obama as a muslim (to show him as being anti-semitic, and/or at the least a terrorist sympathizer) and still the media did not jump all over Hillary Clinton.

She has further mocked him, bellittled him, lied about his positions and campaigns and even in the last debate decried that their is media bias against her. She even yet again played the "gender card" at the last debate by proclaiming this race a "sea-change" for women. Signalling to women that they need to stand-up for women rights and stop this horrible treatment of women.

Wow! Imagine what society would have said and done if Obama had played the race and gender card or engaged in any of the dirty and horrible tactics that "Billary" has engaged in. We all know that he would have been "put out to pasture." Imagine further how we would be treating Obama if Hillary had won 11 straight contests. Yet somehow Hillary is a victim and has been treated unfairly by the media.

I have been a Clinton supported and a huge fan for many years, but I am no longer. I do not believe that even seeking the Presidency of the United States should be a reason or excuse for saying and doing absolutely anything irrespective of the consequences.

I am no longer a supporter or fans of the Clintons and I will never ever support one again.

Ohio State Director Paul Tewes:

Our campaign’s goal today is to ensure that any registered voter in the state of Ohio can go to the polls and cast their ballot for their candidate of choice without interference. We understand that the Clinton campaign may want to depress turnout because Barack Obama has closed a 20-point gap over the course of this month as voters across the state got to know him.

It has been the hallmark of the Democratic party to educate and protect the rights of voters. If the Clinton campaign disagrees with that principle, they should say so today.

We have received reports from around the state of independents and Republicans who chose to vote in the Democratic primary receiving issue only or Republican ballots instead of the Democratic ballot they were entitled to. We have also had reports that the voter ID requirements have been misstated at various locations, causing some voters to be turned away.

We will take action when necessary to ensure that all eligible voters are able to cast their votes and to have their votes counted.

We will continue to monitor the polls to ensure that all Ohioans who choose to participate in today’s election are able to do so regardless of who they choose to vote for.

Ok, that's enough with the 100 years in Iraq business. It's idiotic and childish to assume he meant a war in Iraq - it's been 60 years since we ended WWII -- guess what we have military bases in Germany and Japan, our ALLIES. We have bases all of the world in places that used to be war zones. He said a military presence, he did not say an occupation. I don't even LIKE the war in Iraq and I'm not too stupid to figure that out.

If you're one of the ignorant masses saying "OMG, he said 100 years in Iraq!" then why don't you start a petition to pull our bases from Japan, Germany, the Phillipines, Korea, and all the others? Because it would be stupid to do so? Exactly.

Is McCain the best they (The GOP) could do? This McCain thing is everyone that felt he should have won in 2000; including even some Democrats. This is NOT the McCain that ran in 2000, or I would be more impressed with him.

Look at our history do you think the Republicans give
a dam about the economy etc. Not that I can remember
as was pointed out earlier we are out of money education doesn't worry them their kids go to private schools.Healthcare Hilary has received big money from the drug companies since becoming a senator.The politicians get the second best care in the country rivaled only by celebrities and billionaires who have unlimited funds to afford the best. Mc Cain wants to make up for the screw ups during Viet Nam.Problem is it is the same old stuff all over again.The jobs have been sent out of the country and the ones that are left aren't enough to live on except for illegals living in grossly over crowded conditions.With all these domestic problems do we need a president who thinks the only problem is Iraq.I think not.As for Hilary you want to talk about dangerous she is!Iam not completely sold on Obama but given the choices
he is as good as it is going to get.If the economy
jobs and so on aren't fixed there won't be a United States left.You can't have it all.Mc Cain means another Bush Administration.Hilary brings us back to the Clinton Years.No Thanks.Do the math.Mc Cain is out of touch to say the least.Lest you think Iam some kid I'm 59 Retired military so all you folks who have been so pro war I hope you served at least one hitch
I have 22yrs.69-71 73-93.If you haven't then we know
you have no idea what your talking about.War is extremely expensive not only financially but in lives lost physical and pyschological trauma the list goes on.I'm not saying Obama has all the answers but the other two candidates are not an option.As for him being a Muslim WRONG!Here is a final note regarding that the General in charge during the Gulf War "Storm'n Norman" grew up in the Middle East and understood a lot about the way things were there.Does this make him a Terrorist Muslim etc.? Not hardly!
Well either way Vote!
