McCain, Palin to appear Monday at Beach convention center

NO Bama!!! Thank me later!

Please don't let that bother you, he tries to do that to a lot of us.

How have you discredited me? By asserting that less demand for a ticket means McCain is a stronger leader? Sir, just because you repeat something does not make it true - especially when you can not back up your assertions with real evidence.

Cheesh! We get rid of the tourist and now we have to put up with McWrinkly and Winkly.

Short of suddenly dropping dead (a Democrat fantasy) there is no way John McCain will lose this election.

Repeat once again "President John McCain"

learn to live with it.

"McCains supporters treat McCain like a leader."

How is not showing up treating him like a leader? Suppose he had a cabinet meeting, and they didn't show up, is that treating McCain like a leader?

The fact is they aren't showing up because they could care less what the babbling McCain has to say. They have alrady his attack mode on Obama, and it's a total turn off. Oh brother!

I am confused. If people treated McCain like he was a rock star he would make a better president?

Why don't you two work together to come up w/ at least one comment to post that has something to offer to the conversation? I am suprised AM is even here after I completley discredited him.

"broke enough" to support Obama -- that speaks volumes about one's argument -- broken in and of itself...

is nobody showing up to hear you speak -- you heard it from Ira first. A leader doesn't need a crowd, much less a large one...

Ira: You can spin it anyway you like but lack of willing takers means alot!

If the suggestion is actually that McCain's appearance is generating less tickets is supposed to mean something, at the very least it highlights the difference between the two groups of voters. Obama's supporters treat him like a celebrity. McCains supporters treat McCain like a leader. There is no point in rushing out to fawn over a candidate. Most of us are thinking individuals and this has been a very easy decision. I do not need to reach out and be touched by a candidate. Besides, after tonights debate Obama made it clear he has nothing to offer but charity and fasle hope he can provide it. Most of us just are not broke and dumb enough to give Obama the nod.

That alone should tell you something.

The recent path of the McCain's campaign reminds of the scare tactics used by the Catholic church. When the flock starts to wander, put the fear of God in them and they will return.
The more I hear from McCain and the means he will go to win, the more I dislike him and what he stands for (or should I say, doesn't stand for). He will bend over backwards to use dirty tactics, call names and point fingers. He's like a spoiled child who is having a temper tantrum because he's not getting his way.
The type of campaign he runs is a testiment of his bad character and judgement.
Why isn't the press picking on Obama and Biden? because compared to McCain and Palin and their dirty laundry, Obama and Biden are boring and have little to report.
Hopefully, McCain will be able to control his anger tonight during the debate and carry himself in a professional manner instead of laughing and smirking on the stage like the arrogant jerk we know him to be. If he can't control his temper with Obama, how can we expect him to work with world leaders that disagree with us? He's a walking time bomb and I can only hope he self destructs and doesn't take the US with him.

to campaign in Newport News, and let's see how well they do.

McCain was, is and always will be an opportunist. It's "McCain First", not "Country First".

"WOW! McCain/Palin are really a couple of risk takers, now aren't they?"

Too bad they don't have the guts it took for Obama to go into that well-known bastion of right-wing fervor, San Francisco, when he said, "So it’s not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

As a retired Navy man I take offense to McCain wearing that Navy ball cap. Living in Virginia Beach I had heard stories about his career in the Navy and his stay in Hanoi. Now Rolling Stone magazine is confirming those stories. Hero? Future commander-in-chief? I think not.

Republicans campaigning in republican land. WOW! McCain/Palin are really a couple of risk takers, now aren't they?

"Barack Obama will work with Gen. Petraeus to bring our troops home, and he will use diplomacy to bring our nation back to credible standing among our allies. Of the two, his integrity is solid."

If you read his whole plan for the military it it to relocate the troops from Iraq to Afghanistan, not bring them home.

I have not yet made up my mind about who to vote for, but reading the inane, "fan-boy" comments for Obama (and McCain) is getting annoying. Research the issues and know what standing for a candidate means. Obama's plan means a move to a more socialist government, higher taxes for the middle and upper class to pay for his expansion of government, and a weaker military.

McCain has his own issues, but I am running out of room.

Palin is 5 beers short of Joe's (Biden's) six pack. Wink, Wink! Grin!

President Obama.

Palin will say it as often as the candidates spew lies, so you better hold on! "Head on, apply directly to your forehead. Head on....".

say "Joe 6 pack" and "hockey Mom" and wink.

"Barack Obama will work with Gen. Petraeus to bring our troops home, and he will use diplomacy to bring our nation back to credible standing among our allies. Of the two, his integrity is solid."

Obama after visiting Iraq "adjusted" his withdrawal plan. He cannot deliver on this promise, nor does he intend to. This is per his own words. You want to believe this is possible due to your personal need. I do not agree w/ how the war has been run thusfar but I am not gullible enough to beleive Obama can do better or that we can walk away at this time.

Who joins the military or marries a military member and is suprised at war casualties. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their patriarchs but this is illogical. How would we contrive a military that suffered no casualties?

Your being sold. Your an easy target due to your emotional connection to issues that will not be affected by this election.

In the past eight years, I've been to quite a few funerals and watched a close friend lose her young husband of two little girls to a bomb especially targeted for them in Iraq. John McCain supported the unjustified war in Iraq, and John McCain will continue to support aggressive tactics. To top it off, he has failed to care for the needs of our troops as Barack Obama has.

Barack Obama will work with Gen. Petraeus to bring our troops home, and he will use diplomacy to bring our nation back to credible standing among our allies. Of the two, his integrity is solid.

Look at what I dredged up. Nicve comments guys. One say's issues do not matter. Admits that they are simply voting against Bush. Two others carry on w/ nonsensical rants and spam posting techniques. One actually wants to talk.
Hee we go:

"omparing Senators Obama and McCain" here: my.barackobama.com/page/content/vetshome"

The site is purposely misleading and biased. Poor example.

"Are you facing financial challenges?"

We all are. Obama's voting record is one aof the largest contributors. His future palns will cost millions of Americans their jobs. Employers need relief, not additional cost and regulation.

"Have you lost a loved one or close friend in Iraq?"

No, I have not. However, the easy way to avoid this problems is not to join the military if your concerned w/ dying in a war.

when is sarah going to say something worth while?everyday its the same old reheased speech. what she did as mayor!! or that fact governor!! exprience i think not! a wink is "just as good as a nod to a blind horse!

Wow - lots of bitterness there - almost hatred. You should vote with facts, not emotion.

What does McCain's age and the fact he's had cancer five times and is on five different medications have to do with anything? My mother-in-law is younger than McCain and is on TWELVE different meds. Does that make her an invalid? My grandmother recently passed at the age of 96, and up until a few months before she died, she was very lucid, very aware, and very engaging in her conversations. Should she have put to pasture 24 years earlier at 72?

By the way, McCain was cleared of the “Keating 5”, but three of the remaining four Democrats were found guilty.

we don't need no damned issues.

The choice is very simple: if you're happy with the last eight years, then by all means, vote for John McCain, who guarantees a continuation of the Bush/Cheney/Paulson dynasty. If you think the present administration is one of the prime reasons we going down the economic rat hole, then vote for the other guy. It can't get any worse with an avowed liberal, than with a liberal in conservative clothing.

I'm a Republican. But anyone who votes for a Wall Street bailout, and economic socialism....is a true Republican in name only.

I'll vote for Obama, as the lesser of two evils. Anyone who buys into his "terrorist ties" has got to be either a desperate Neocon, or a person not without a lack of common sense and intelligence.

When McCain came back from Vietnam, he cheated repeatedly on his crippled wife, and then divorced her to marry Cindy Hensley. In the 1980's McCain lobbied for Charles Keating, the saving and loan felon who stole billions in pension money, and took numerous jet set vacations at Keating's expense. His campaigns for the Senate were all financed with his wife Cindy's mob money. In 1994 Cindy McCain forged prescriptions in the names of her employees and stole drugs from her own charity. McCain's campaign this year is getting huge amounts of oil company money. His pick for vice president is under an ethics investigation and will probably be recommeded for indictment in October. McCain is 72 years old, has had cancer 5 times and is on 5 different medications. He is so out of it, that his staff doesn't want him to talk the press unscripted.
