The commercial was credited as one factor enabling Clinton to turn her campaign around in Texas last week. But, 42% of all voters said the person theyd most want to answer the phone was John McCain. Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person theyd want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived.
Among Democrats, 46% said theyd like Clinton to take that call while 36% named Obama.
Among Republicans, 79% named McCain while neither Democrat reached double digits.
Among unaffiliated voters, 39% said McCain would be their top choice to handle such a crisis. Twenty-seven percent (27%) of unaffiliateds said they thought Obama was the best to handle the call while 18% named Clinton.
Among men, 51% preferred McCain, 21% Obama, and 19% Clinton. Women were evenly divided33% for McCain and 30% for each of the Democrats.
As for which of the three would be the worst to have in the White House when a foreign policy crisis broke out, 36% named Obama, 28% McCain, and 25% Clinton. Men were evenly divided as to whether Clinton or Obama would be the worst. Women were evenly divided as to whether Obama or McCain would be the worst.
An Obama foreign policy advisor said that neither Democrat was prepared to take that call (see video), a comment that John McCain was quite happy to endorse.
Unsurprising. McCains WoT stance will win him the election. Neither Hillary or Obama can reach to him.

Did anyone say who was calling at 3AM?
If it is the Clinton whitehouse it could be Monica calling at 3AM right? (No big deal)
If it is the Obama whitehouse it could be one of his Arab relatives from Africa calling. (No big deal)
The "men" who'd prefer Hillary or Obama aren't men... they are metrosexual surrender monkeys.

I’d rather talk to Cindy.
The only way I would want any one of these three answering the whitehouse telephone would be is if after answering the telephone they hand it away and say “Mr. president, its for you”
Saturday Night Live should do a skit showing the red phone ringing and a light coming on in a dark bedroom. We’d see Bill Clinton reaching to answer as Hillary still slept. The voice-over could be “Do you really know whom you are voting for”?
Umm, on second thought, that wouldn’t work. No one would ever believe they would be in the same bed.
It seems that most voters are selecting “none of the above” as their preference.
That does not bode well for any of the 3 current contenders, as none even gets close to 50% from ‘all’ voters.
Ballgame.
I’ll go with Gilligan over these three clowns.
Those numbers go out the window with a Clinton/Obama ticket.
The important numbers here, as I have been saying all along, is the unaffiliated voters... McCain has this election won folks.... The Dems are putting up the weakest canidates I have ever seen in my life.
The unaffiliated voters decide elections, and Hillary is hated by most of the and Obama is such a stuffed shirt that his little stepping and fetching and say nothing/do nothing dog and pony show won’t sell there come election time. Only the far left are stupid enough to fall for his nonsense.
Not to mention the disinfranchisement that will happen in the D base to begin with should Obama win the elected delegate count and then lose the nomination because the party machine gives it to the Clintons. Hell even if Hillary would miraculously overtake Obama in elected delegates they’ll still have a schism that will destroy their base in the general.
Black talk radio conspiracies will be a flying a pleanty either way.
McCain only picks up for illegals.
“Among all voters, 25% picked Clinton and another 25% named Obama as the person theyd want in the White House when a foreign policy crisis call arrived.”
Problem that Juanito is going to have is that by the time the election rolls around, gas prices will be over 4 dollars a gallon. People will be looking for someone to blame and for someone willing to “do something” about the problem. Right or wrong, Hillary! will come up with some socialistic excuse for nationalizing the oil companies, while Juanito’s only plan seems to be to raise the prices even higher through a .50 gas tax.
Isn’t it important to anticipate the nature of the phone call?
President Obama picks up the phone to hear: “Hello, this is Amanutjob. Please let the world know that Iran had nothing to do with that nuclear detonation near Palastine. Oh, and can we do lunch?”
President Hillary picks up the phone to hear: “It’s Bill. Ted and I were just driving along in the fog, and all of a sudden, we drove off of this bridge.....)”
President McCain picks up the phone to hear: “We got him sir! UBL will not be coming out of that cave!”
Not really thrilled about McCain (less about the others), but I think 42% is interesting because that’s what Billy boy won with.
I’m hoping the Whitehouse switchboard operator answers the phone at 3AM.
I can dream, can't I?
