Truly amazing. I know we have a loser once again. When is my party going to go with a proven winner? Never from the way it seems. HRC was the only person that could give obama from anywhere from a 6 to a 10 point push in the polls. Biden will most likely give McCain a push of 2 to 3.
HRC should have been asked to be the VP nominee. The slaps at HRC from obama and his campaign are truly insulting. The 3 a m send out of the emails was a slap at HRC for her 3 a m ad. Not even vetting HRC agains was a slap. Many other too numerous.
I am so sick and tired of my party trying to win on the idea of obama. It is obvious that obama made history but the idea of obama proves one thing. He cannot win. With HRC, she too would have made history but the truth is she had the experience, the ability, the aptitude and the knowledge to become president on day one. Unlike obama who will be lost as in the movie The Candidate which said after this guy was elected with no knowledge of anything said, “What, do I do now?
Hopefully obama will not get that chance, and it is sad that I will not stand with my party this election because our candidate is just an idea and nothing else. Vote for McCain? No. I will write in Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton

Agreed. I, too, wish Hillary could be on a McCain ticket but we have to be realistic. Even if McCain and Hillary could work well together, there is such a high negative for her with Republicans, that will never happen. I have never figured that one out. My southern relatives detest her the way I do Obama. I just don’t get what she’s done that has them so ticked off.

Not voting, Hillary write-in as a protest or a vote for a third party is voting for Obama. We have to elect McCain to get rid of the present membership of the DNC. Hillary will have no future if we allow these people to succeed. It would be as if we gave them approval to continue their dishonest, ugly misogynistic tactics into the next election. Hillary will fare no better then. Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Reid have to lose their power.

It’s hard voting Republican (1st for me) but that’s the only strategy that will bring the change we want. So suck it up boys and girls and let’s clean house. We won’t be worse off (and energy wise probably better) with McCain but Barry would be a bloody disaster.

Do not be a silenced vote by not voting, then the real Chicago politics won, no vote means Obama in the White house, bann together and become one voice, the voice of Democracy saying hear me the people matter, character pride, integrity, record and experience, the will of the people, and not paid political favors that will contribute to politicians that no longer work for the people but for the rich and government elite, to prosper in their financial means and self interest. Vote: a no vote is a vote for Obama and a third party vote is a vote saying its ok to vote but still voting for the One , by not voting experience, Country before Party. Nobama

Thanks for a straight-up post that presents facts as facts and does not try and distort the truth. Good job.

That has crossed my mind too, Biden supporters after several presidential election years have given up the idea he can win the primaries. They “arrange” for Obama to win the Democratic nomination, shortly afterwards Obama is axed as the presidential candidate (pick your favorite one of the several available – dual citizenship, Ayers, etc.) and Biden becomes the presidential nominee. Biden’s previous statements concerning Obama over the past few years proves he was never in bed with Obama.

It sounds far-fetched. But then again so does the past year with the Democratic Party and it’s fact, not fiction.

Excellent post. I too am voting for McCain for the same reasons you are. A “I’m not voting this year” is just another way of voting the sleazebag into office. Every vote will count and if we want to keep Oblahblah out of the White House, EVERYONE will have to get out and vote for McCain. A third party choice will have absolutely no impact on the election.

I’ catholic and Biden does not sway my vote. If you don’t like a guy, does not matter who you choose, besides look how many votes Biden mustered up by himself lol; even Catholic did not vote in droves, will not change anything. The bulk of the experience in the tail, he does not sway any of my family. NObama.2008

You know what i dislike the most, is that all the pundits assume that just because we voted for Hillary that we will follower her lead. Well unfortunately for them I vote issues and character and experience is a must; I will not be forced in voting for a looser, if my life depended on it, and you know here guys you have all those O’s always threating, this part of the Democratic party that will not fall in line. Sorry, my vote means more to me than following the drooling , blinded public supporters of O, that issues do not matter, with the stakes getting high and Russia playing the Big Bear , now is not the time to have O in office, alot will say I will not vote McCain, well think about that hard, your vote might be the deciding vote on letting Obama sway into that big chair behind the Presidents desk: I just believe McCain has proven to do more for the People, than O’s short record has and he has experience not just Chicago senate where his voting record sucks, and 3 yrs in the Senate and 1 1/2 of that campaigning, we can really say , Dnc was high on candy, and in the mix of the high it forgot to come down. Banding together is the only way to succeed , I know we own our vote, but what will we do when all those O’s are turning out for their thuggish leader . Will we allow Chicago Politics, stomp out Democracy and the voices of 18 million voters, what better way to defeat the Dnc, and Bamie, by becoming a force to recon with, the Democratic party who votes issues and looks to support the most qualified person, I would love Hillary on the ticket, but reality we do not have that we have Obama, and you know ladies and gentleman, I want my vote to matter. McCain has proven and has a motto he stands by a conviction to do what is right, Country before Party . If you do not vote, you would be a silence vote that voted for Obama saying it is ok for this dweeb and the dweebets , to silence my vote, and in turn voting Obama. Yes , the economy is an issue but think about it since Bush came out with removing the off shore drilling bann on his part; oil has been falling and spending has increased slowly, no one single person can be blamed for the economy, because even the senate and congress were blind to what was occuring, until the one person who truly concerned for the people voiced it Hillary, from housing to oil, the other dems were blind to hit. Clinton is strong on the economy , and it would be great if McCain would pick her, because the swing of excitement would turn to the Republican party and not to the Dnc. Together they have worked well in the Senate, and they have some disagreements but both do what is right. We can only wish that McCain notices the disrespect of the Democratic party that stomped over her and Bills accomplishments. There are two woman named if he should choose a woman, and well the both ran a successfull business , and have earned the respect of many as Ceo. But by choosing a woman atleast he is listening. and hearing many voices. I am a Democrat, but I matter and experience is a must, I disagree with some of McCain choices but i totally do not like Obamas. NObama ever, the real question is will Hillary , cross that line and be vp on a Republican ticket. Well there would be a Democrat in the White House working for the People. mmmm who knows? I own my vote and will not fall in line behind a big bag of air.

Sorry so long guys, this just got away from me.

Ahem, get a life, your ridiculous insults aside, where exactly, does Obama stand on the issues you mentioned? He has flip flopped all over them.

Did it ever occur to you that some of us see him is a puppet and will use the D brand to finish what Bush started? Namely futher erode the democracy we enjoy and take for granted in our country.

The D congress will be partisan and keep a Republican in check… not so with Obama the puppet.

You guys are just simply nuts. McCain is the antithesis of everything she believes (reproductive choice, health care, gay rights, economy, Iraq). You must not think highly of her if you think she would go on the ticket with him. Further demonstration that you guys are just Republicans masquerading as Hillary supporters.
