Thats right, this is an election for the office of the President of the United States and whatever needs to be done to remind people of that absolutely must be done. All credit to the Sen McCain's campaign for alerting the american public that this isnt an exercise in selecting the American Idol and no amount of fawning worshipers here or in Germany will convince any intelligent voter to cast his or her vote for a candidate who wants to claim the Presidency on the basis of lofty oratory and not much else. Go Steve Schmidt !!

It is now looking like it will be the the biggest political blunder of all time. This election should have been a cake walk for the democrats. I still can't believe that the best they could come up with was the wife of an ex-impeached president and an inexperienced African American. If the dempcrats would have nominated a Biden-Richardson ticket, they would not even had to campaign.

It is sad to see McCain sink into the gutter with his lies and attacks in ads and speeches. I thought that Bush was bad, but the great hero is worse. The public is getting sick of childish liesstatements and ads such as those used by McCain. The gutter mentality of this kind of politics stinks. Something needs to be done to establish rules that require that candidates stick to the issues and not play in the gutter.

Maybe, the media should now probe into the allegations of McCain's infedelity. Is it fair to omit this part of his background while vetting he other John?

The more they run ads full of lies, the better they poll and the better they feel. What a deal, Americans. You're being played for chumps.
