I am so frackin' tired of "CHICAGO" being used as some kind of M*F*n smear.

Can we please all at least agree that CHICAGO is a not a goddamn slander?

Can we all at least come to reach that agreement?

There's no way that this spectacularly insane introduction was/will be an isolated event. If we are going to push an African American candidate into the WH its going to be against every last dying (hopefully) vestige of Good Ol' American racism. We may not have invented it, but we pioneered in its development... it will not go quietly

Aw, come on, guys! Can't you see what's going on here? The Republicans and their wingnut allies are going to be sliming merrily away, while "Honest" Johnnie Mac "tsk-tsks" and gets credit for being above it all. You will never make me believe that McCain didn't know exactly what Cunningham was going to say. That's how he was able to "waste no time in saying he was sorry" - he had the so-called apology prepared already.

Classy? I think not. Clever? For sure.

I know none.

EE Gads!! I hope you're wrong...

I cant watch JM pimp his "integrity" like G-Dubs pimped his "ignorance"

I know them too but mostly it depends on who our candidate is.

His "Bomb Iran" song and his other throw away lines will keep coming up agian and agian and agian and his zaniness will bring us a Dem as Prez.
Can't wait!
Go Big O!

there has never been a statistically significant, successful movement by an opposing political party to game the open primary system by voting for the perceived "weaker" opponent. That's just not how most people think, political animals like us besides. Obama is not relying on Republicans to get the nom, he's winning just about every demographic outside of women over 60. If you can think of another example where the opposing party has flooded the other's open primary and actually swung the election, feel free to chime in.

Your charges are especially ludicrous in the face of numerous polls showing Obama as the more viable GE candidate against McCain - Republicans know about those polls too.

should be the FOCUS of this, because this is a media election

on exactly what they can and cannot say against an African-American and a female candidate, I am sure they will try to get around that.

I know NO Kerry voters who will be voting for McCain.  Every Kerry voter I know was voting for Kerry because they are sick of Bush and not because they loved Kerry.  McCain is just going to perpetuate Bush's policies.

Ya know...in the past month i have read a bunch of posts from Clinton/Obama supporters regarding McCain..either one will slice and dice him. We, as a nation and a Party have evolved since 2000.
When the desert Iraqi dust settles in November,
Johnnie Mac will be as useless as an unprotected humvee or an Iraqi family caught in the crossfire.

Clinton's campaign is an absolute mess.  You can't tell me that with a ground game like that she's more electable, regardless of her perceived strengths and weaknesses as a candidate.

Hilarious ... the jackass endorsed Clinton after McCain "threw him under the bus on national television."

Whatever's bad for McCain is good for us, I guess.

The media loves McCain
The media loves Obama

Some pundit, some news organization, somebody is going to "blink first" on one of these guys, and the stampede will be on.

It'll be interesting to watch.

What we are seeing is the beginning of the Martinez strategy on a national basis.  We are already seeing Republican polling and focus groups on how negative they can be.  Expect to see Sen. McCain throwing someone to the dogs for all kinds of inflammatory talk throughout the campaign.
P.S. For those who don't remember, FL Senator Martinez is famous for throwing staffers overboard AFTER they make outrageous inflammatory remarks which happen to dogwhistle Republican neanderthals.  Needless to say, these staffers all find jobs with other Republicans.
