"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

This is so silly, you are saying that people was rude to Obama, were they Republicans or Hill's people? These would be commonsense questions to ask i would think. This story is juvenile at best!

It is pretty juvenile, and the fact this guy seemed to get a kick out of Obama being called Osama says its all. Though i guess we should not expect much solid reporting from a reporter who is a member of Skull and Bones secret fraternity.

I agree with you Aidenag...they cant see the foolhardiness of this behavior. This man may become president and they will be the first to cry that he is not talking to them. What I see in this behavior is typical let's put him in his so call place, thank god Obama is above and beyond that sort of thinking.

You are talking to people that doesn't care to know! Ask yourself this, why would anyone with any kind of sense vote bush back in when the entire world and your fellow country men and woman for the most part wanted him out. At the tune of 70% American wants this war ended but the right in their effort to (ill show you) ignores the will of the people. You do so because of an unmeasurable degree of arrogance. This will be our downfall, if we continue down this path it will put an end to our natioin dominance. It frustrating that the fools on the right of this nation doesn't have the brain power to comprehend this simple fact! It is unabridged stupidity if you ask me

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! ;)

McCain is a man of honor. You know people, well Howard Dean, keeps pointing to McCain's age. Hey, this man has knowledge along with patience along with a network of people who you can go to when you are uncertain. Retirement is NOT a biblical principle. The Bible NEVER talks about retirement. I think it is because those that are older have so much to offer. Why leave society when you have the most to offer? Not only do you offer more, but you keep advancing in life as long as you are active, your mind stays strong.

McCain is going to win this election.

I MAY have misunderstood you catty.

Among all those wonderful accolades you attributed to John McCain, did you actually include ... PATIENCE?

We can't be 100% patient all the time Goopy.

You know Goopy, I consider myself a pretty patient person, but when I see you avatar pop up, looking all cross eyed, with the orange background and same brown suit, I just take a breath and count to 10 as I read your same old conservative Christian rhetoric. Then I wonder. How many Christian Conservatives are there buried in your back yard? LOL.

And btw, I think there is a tie between Bush and Carter at 28%, regarding the lowest 'pollin'. And that's of all "tiem"!

Remember, we Conservatives have a bit of a problem with this particular candidate.

We already rejected him 8 years ago.

And the person we preferred over John McCain was Goerge W. Bush ... the draft dodgin, cocaine imbibin, alcoholic, steadfast 'C' effort-man.

Thats how WE CONSERVATIVES assess John McCain.

McCain is LESS than Goerge W. Bush. In our own estimation.

And remember, Goerge W. Bush is the lowest pollin presdient of all tiem!

Exactly, pardner. Why would we want a Marxist like Obama or Clinton in the White House?

We don't elect presidents to see how low they can poll.

And it sounds like nobody could ever poll lower than Obama. He's just too bitter about this country to make a good president.

Say, what do YOU KNOW about Marxism?

I don't believe you could give me a good definition of the dialectic without looking it up.

Obama's not a commie (keep trying) and he's not bitter (you are trying, VERY trying...)

McCain needs to look Dean straight in the eye and say "Don't hate me cause you ain't me. Beeyatch!"

He would damn sure get my vote.

McCain sold his honor long ago, along with his integrity; now he advocates further treason against the Constitution...he needs to be retired...

"ya gotta show respect to these NeoCons when you enter their butt bumping, circle jerk, anti-everybody but Con's meetings. They will trash you big time"

I don't mind. My skin is thick enough to take it. Besides, Jonathan Swift once said:

"When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him." -- Jonathan Swift

As long as the negative votes are coming from the right people, I wear them proudly. In fact, I would be more worried if these dunces were actually on the same side I am. If we were, then I might have to re-evaluate my rationale. It's quite a relief to discover that we're not on the same side.

When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, he don't get all clingy about guns and god and he damn sure don't feel no antipathy towards those that are different than him. But he can accuse others, less geniusy than him, of being clingy and antipathetic.

It's the neolibs who spew all the venom (along with their preachers/mentors/surrogates etc.). They always have. The Conservatives are enjoying this contest and making fun of you hate mongers. You've spent too much time being pounded (brainwashed) by the likes of Matthews, Oberman et al. Need to get a life :o).

Life's too important to be taken seriously!

I don't think Conservatives are ENJOYING THIS at all...

But if it makes you feel better to continue to lie to yourself...

Of course, hat's what got you Neocon goobers in trouble in the first place.

Have you actually LISTENED to anyone like Limbaugh, Hannity, Hagee, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich, Bush, Cheney, et al? If you don't call what they do "hate," then you're beyond hope.

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.

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
