Disagree, Carter was smart guy, He just had wrong principles. Obama the liberal is not very smart, good prompter reader, but that’s it.

Welll, one astute Biblical scholar thinks the rapture may come on April 26th of this year. Seems to me this is the best way to beat all these lousy candidates. Say a prayer, pack a bag (just funning, you won’t need a bag) and be ready to go. Can you imagine what it would be like if all Christians left on that day? Which candidates would be left here to run the country? Now, that would be fun to watch (from Heaven, that is).

Yeah, but just watch McCain. The guy is a real firecracker. I think those independents he sold us out for are really going to be impressed when he goes toe to toe with Obama. /s

That’s my sad retiring congressman standing behind McCain. I should know who that guy is in the back left, but I don’t. I can see the edge of George Allen’s head on the right. I didn’t want him to be president, but I wish he was running now.

Obama is an empty suit. Long on rhetoric and devoid of any substance whatsoever.

But because of political correctness, it is suicide to say so publicly.

He’s talking the same old, tired class-warfare s__t that Dummycrats have been pedaling since FDR wrote the script in the late 1930’s.

He just delivers it better than most.

If he believes even 10% of his own bulls__t than he is
deadly-dangerous and would spell disaster for this country.

I think Obama will be much easier to beat for all kinds of reasons. He is an empty slate and it will be much easier to fill that in if McCain takes the opportunity to do so.

McCain is inspiring the nation by pointing out that Gov. Crist is in the audience. And Senator Warner too!!! Were a hotel discount away from an AARP meeting.

McCain is such a boring public speaker. A senator used to sitting up on high reading questions prepared by aides to people sitting in a well is really lacking. What platitudes and how pathetic he is as a speaker. yikes!!!!

The stream I am watching just cut from Obama to McCain - It’s like going from the New Year’s party to Sunday afternoon at the old folks’ home.

McCain looks like a corpse who can move a little

LOL - He is creaky, doddering and poorly cadenced in his delivery. He actually sounds bored!

Unbelievable - Even W delivers a better speech!

I don’t think McCain’s speech is that bad, but I’m a Virginian, and we can be pretty boring.

McCain is a terrible, uninspiring speaker especially following Obama.

Obama won the post victory supporters backdrop contest. McCain with a bunch of geriatric white people, versus a wisconsin naturalization swearing-in .

He will go only so far with his rendition of his War challenges. A real contrast to the excitement of Obama. He looks like he’s had too many prunes!

Fox cuts away from McCain just as he was calling Obama on his style over substance.

WHO won in Washington State?

No one yet. They have a primary for 1/2 the delegates next week and a state convention for the other 1/2 of the delgates in May. Saturday was just a big old straw poll.
