It just so happens that Britney famously supported G.W. Bush for President, and no doubt Paris does also, since she is obviously the demographic that Republicans cater to. Is this how McCain treats his fellow Repubs?

John McCain is batshit crazy. He's a shill and a puppet for the GOP much as is our disgrace of a president.
Obama is America's hope. Vote for him.

What I dont understand is why McCaine concentrating on Barack Obama's character when he should be giving suggestions about how he is going to fix the mess our country is currently in if he becamse president. There are too many issues going on right now in the world that need to be addressed ASAP.Bush has caused more harm than good while he has been in office and I really dont see McCaine changing anything different if he became president.
And I have a very bad feeling that if McCaine becomes the next President of the United States, there are going to be riots and chaos everywhere.

I was a long time fan of McCain until the latest series of adds that his campaign has put out. These adds are not so much an insult to Obama as they are to the American people. Is this what McCain meant when he said he wanted to run a campaign bases on issues and not on negative attacks? What happened to McCain over the past 8 years? He used to be the voice of reason and against partisan politics, now he is running a campaign out of a Bush Rove playbook, using the same techniques that they used against him in 2000.
Do these candidates believe that so long as they win the terrible things they did during their campaign were justified? What we got out of the past two Presidential elections was the worst President in American history and the most divided America since the civil war. If McCain wins, which I very seriously doubt, he will have to work with the party who's candidate he slandered, if he loses, which is very likely, he will have nothing to take away from the campaign, not even his previous sparkling reputation.

What is the message of this ad? It does tell us something about Obama, but it tells us nothing about McCain. It tells us that Obama is popular, so we want to find out why he is popular. This makes me want to go and listen/read his message. What does the ad have to say about McCain? Nothing other than he approves this message/ad. So now McCain is approving of people to go and find out what Obama's message/ideas are.
Yep, McCain's strategists are really smart.

Obviously, the sputtering candidate has nothing to say that is helpful to you or me, so let's make fun of the other guy. He is old news both in what he stands for and what he says. It's either been said by the current President, or we heard it in his LAST campaign for President. I sound that way too when I'm jealous. Sad.....

Thanks for helping get Obama elected...So far, McCain's advisors are the best players on Obama's team!
This is just too easy to turn on them. NEVER, EVER play the race game with a minority when you're white, we always look like the bad, evil white guy.
oh well, I want Obama to win anyway.

I like McCain because he has shown that he can work with the other party on important issues. He has done a lot of bipartisan work. I know Obama can talk but is that "doing" anything? The the one thing that Obama has done, which I don't like is that he voted "present" many times in the Illinois legislature rather than take a stand on lots of different issues. Can someone actually tell me anything that Obama has done and what it was so I can evaluate him.
