I've had Bush fatigue since 2000. LAST thing I want to see is a movie about his life whether is is biased in any direction, balanced or fair.

The only time I want to see Bush on video is if he's being led away in handcuffs while a jeering mob spits on him. I'd pay to see that.

So McCain wants to deprive a baby with special NEEDS of even more of its parents' attention? What a dick!

Its probably beyond some people's ability to ever understand, but "Nor have you interviewed his poor relatives in Kenya and determined why Barack Obama has not rescued them." Is insanely offensive.

The way McCain has campaigned has inflamed and motivated a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't have cared.

Example: I'm 40. Never voted, never even registered to vote in my life. Didn't plan on registering for this election. But due solely to McCain's decision to overtly run a campaign based on inflaming racist hatred I went out and registered. I registered to show my disgust at McCain.

One assumes many people who are as apathetic as me, or even slightly less are also motivated along the same lines.

Getting tired of people complaining about the tone of the McCain campaign while in the same breath absolving McCain of responsibility of the tone of his campaign.

Paraphrasing: The McCain campaign is stoking racist anger and fears, but McCain is a helluva guy!

I know but my point is that I and I bet many others like me (the apathetic)are motivated not by Obama as much as disgusted by McCain's play for racist anger. In other words McCain is as much to credit for Obama's surge in support as much as Obama is.

Despite that you provide no reasoning, you're reasoning is flawed. The comparison of Obama v. McCain vs. Hillary v. McCain from the perspective of a republican isn't straightforward at all.

Granted. We all know that repubs have been playing this game for a long time, but nonetheless, perhaps because its a bit personal to me the difference between previous campaigns' use of code words and winks and nods and McCain's campaign OVERT stoking of hatred anger and the recently resurrected 'anti-America' charge is huge. And I think its the same for a lot of people.

Bad news for you NancySue22. You HAD Jesus. Unfortunately on his return he was stopped at the border and with his accent, sandals and no ID he was shipped off to gitmo by the Bush admin where he is currently being beaten daily.

Actually, sharing the wealth would be socialism. Spreading the wealth is sorta the goal of capitalism.

So what if he did?

Lets assume for the sake of argument Powell did endorse Obama just because he's black. The question is how would that refute anything Colin Powell said in his eloquent endorsement?

It wouldn't.

1. It hurts McCain because for some reason a lot of people respect Powell. Including McCain who has said Powell is one of the people he respects most in the world.

2. So what if he did endorse him because he's black? How would that change or make untrue any of the charges Powell made in his endorsement? It wouldn't. At all.

If someone argues Powell's endorsement is based on race, concede the point, then ask how that impacts all the charges made in Powell's endorsement.

In other words, So What? So what if he endorsed because Obama is black? How would that negate everything Powell said in his endorsement. It wouldn't.

Going negative has worked so well so far.

Also, why should McCain be satisfied with a legacy of being a war hero and distinguished senator when he can go out as the guy that ran THAT campaign?

If McCain is going to rehash Wright, which the MSM went insane over already, months ago, it just means McCain's got nothing left.

If you consider Bush& Co and the sleaziest humans, I'll give McCain sleaziest politician.

I agree. McCain is a sacrifice for the RNC. Look who ran against him in the primaries. Northeastern liberals and fringe kooks. (and he still almost blew it!) Plus McCain is old enough to have no future to lose.

Since Bush can preemptively pardon himself and anyone he likes for anything they've done they obviously have no need to be concerned about accountability or consequences.

So the plan is to saddle the democrats with the mess Bush leaves behind. And if its the first black president, as well a a democrat, even better!

Or am I too cynical?

McCain rallies: People boo Obama

Obama rallies: People cheer Obama.

Nobody cheers McCain.

Anyone notice it was kinda odd that Davis is telegraphing the campaign's possible strategy? I think its cause they realize going negative has hurt them, but they're getting kinda desperate. They want to bring up Ayers but aren't sure how it'll go over so they release this info that they are thinking of bringing up Ayers to test the waters as it were.

I read the article you refer to and I believe the hypothetical was if Lieberman was the 60th vote, not if Dems had more than 60. Two very different situations I'm sure you'll agree.

Tough call too. I'm among those that would love to see Lieberman run out of town on a rail but with the country in such dire shape and the damage Bush will leave behind, the chance to have those 60 votes needed to get things done in the face of what is sure to be an obstructionist and virulent minority outweighs the need to treat Lieberman as he richly deserves.

That being said if the Dems have 60 or more without Lieberman or over 50 without him, then he's GOT to go. I wouldn't put him in charge of the congressional washroom.
