"McCain got a standing ovation - an honor Obama did not receive when his turn came two hours later."

No way, man. He had donuts . . . with sprinkles!
"McCain's moderators, the AP's Ron Fournier and Liz Sidoti, greeted McCain with a box of Dunkin' Donuts. "We spend quite a bit of time with you on the back of the Straight Talk Express asking you questions, and what we've decided to do today was invite everyone else along on the ride," Sidoti explained. "We even brought you your favorite treat."
McCain opened the offering. "Oh, yes, with sprinkles!" he said.
Sidoti passed him a cup. "A little coffee with a little cream and a little sugar," she said."
lol, sweets for the sweet! :D

FTA: "...that Middle Americans have turned to God and guns and against immigrants because they are "bitter" about their economic lot."
You know, I'm REALLY getting sick of Obama's comments being taken out of context! He wasn't talking about "middle" America. He was talking about his church and followers of Pastor Wright! ;)

A standing ovation from a captive audience. It's like people clapping at rocky racoon.

More trivial distractions from alpha-nonsense.
Boy are the wingers hard up for distractions from the fact that their boy has the same kind of corrupt, incompetent, silver-spoon background as disaster bushie and only exists on the public stage because of the corruption that backs him.
Zionist Mobsters and John McCain
Politics â;; McCain's Career has mostly been financed by jewish mobster money. He is married to the daughter of a member of the jewish mafia. His family has a long tradition of doing Israel's bidding, even to the point of covering up Israeli attacks on America.

Hard to believe that any patriotic american would vote for a politician that has killed more americans than Osama Bin Laden - by forcing them to live in a nuclear waste dump.
Senator McCain's history of Human Rights Violations
Do No Evil â;; The Dineh-Navajo were literally swept off of lands they'd owned since 1500 A.D. by legislations authored by Senator McCain on a ruse that handed the coal beneath them over to the largest unsustainable energy corporation in America. Forced resettlements have led to disease and early death among more than 7,000 of the Dineh-Navajo.

Sounds like a bunch of sect members desperately looking for "dear leader".

Looks to me that the press id not biased at all....one gets a box of do-nuts (should have been holes) while the other is asked if he will go after Obama bin L. ooppps I meant osama.
Seems the press has picked their "Golden Boy" and to hell with a fair coverage, but in the big news Lindsay posed nude as Ms. Monroe

If it has taken Sen Obama this long to campaign against a very flawed candidate, and he is no closer to the nomination then she will be after next Tuesday, he cannot compete against an experienced political leader in November. Those editors will cover the campaign. Sen Obama would do well to back away from his elitist attitude, and be honest with them.

It has taken this long for the MSM right-wing owners to give marching orders to their news departments.
McCain gets a free pass on one huge gaffe after another on Iraq and the military while Obama gets nailed for something the right-wing media takes out of context.
And the military/Iraq is `supposed` to be McGaffe`s strong point. Scary to think how bad he is on his own admitted weakness the economy, especially going into a recession.

Oh come on. Obama has been getting a pass for Far too long. If anyone dares to say anything about him, they are portrayed racist, small town mentality, gun owning Christians who hates immigrates. How about looking at him and realize everything he says he talks out of both sides of his mouth. He stretches the truth. just watch if Obama don't win the nomination. There will be riots unlike any seen before. Remember LA? That's why the media, and liberals want him in there they have lit a fuse now they are afraid of the blast. McCain is the least of their worries right now.

McCain will cut very heavily into the bluestates if he runs against Obama. Obama supporters thinking he can cut across party lines because he beat Clinton in Utah & Wyoming are absolutely simpleminded. I have a better chance of winning the lottery than Obama does winning against a republican in Utah or Wyoming!

I live in a conservative, rural agricultural area and the turnout for Obama was incredible at the caucus. AFTER removing one of the precincts to an alternate location, it was still standing room only. AFTER removing 1 out of the 4 precincts.
85% of my precinct voted for Obama. That included cross-over Republicans.
In fact, I have been told by Rush listening Republicans that if it is Hillary vs McCain, they won`t even bother this time. If it is Obama vs McCain, they will probably vote and vote for Obama.
McCain`s support is weak and based on smear & hate-mongering.
