McCain didn't skip a beat, lambasting Obama for, of all things, being "less clear" about his vision for the counter. "The same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent," he declared.

The remark came during the Senator's appearance in Pennsylvania on Wednesday in what was already a controversial appearance. An hour before McCain took the stage, an introductory speaker revved up the crowd by referring to Barack "Hussein" Obama twice. McCain's campaign has distanced themselves from the remark.

What do you mean? He meant to say it. He is basically saying that we are prisoners to the soaring gas prices and the economic crisis going on right now in that we can really do nothing about it.

Not correct. Try again.

Yeah, it seems McCain made a blunder.

Everyone makes mistakes while speaking. Obama tends to make fewer than most politicians--he is a masterful speaker--but he made a laughable gaffe while in Israel, probably because he was exhausted. I think it's obvious that McCain is not senile or close to it.

I have watched both debates, and I thought overall McCain performed quite well, at least as regards foreign policy issues. However, in my opinion he very clearly was outperformed by Obama on every issue in both debates. But when debating a guy who was a former U. of Chicago law professor and magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, it's difficult to prevail.

I almost wonder if Obama had been replaced by someone older and less proficient in his "mannerisms" of speech, yet said the exact same identical words as Obama did, would have been considered the victor in the debates as well?

I don't think McCain is senile, either. He's a legitimate American hero, he's served this country for nearly his entire life, and he deserves our respect and admiration. He's just not going to be president. He's made mistakes, the economy is against him, his arguments are less tight, he often seems confused and desperate, and his policies and ideas appear muddled. McCain blundered by choosing Palin, especially when you consider how many capable and bright and moderate Republican women he passed on. His choice of Palin is confusing.

If the fact that McCain is going to lose infuriates you, keep in mind that we've had eight years of Republican rule, and the pendulum is swinging back to the left again. This is as it should be: our system of checks and balances is healthy. And yet no matter what you and I think about any of this, time will pass, problems and solutions will come and go, and in four years the Republicans will probably control congress again, and the universe will continue to spin on. Indifferently.

He really didn't have a chance otherwise. There wasn't anyone on the Republican ticket worth a crap besides Ron Paul. All the others were a bunch of jokers.

Hillary should have won the Democratic ticket. She would have been a way better President than Obama could or ever will be.
