btw, notice how as soon as McCain mentions Obama we get a series of boohs. But when Obama talked about the call he received from McCain we get respectful acclamations.
Just saying.


Boo's when McCain loses versus Riots if Obama were to lose? Hm.
I'll take the Booo's.

I didn't vote for Obama, but he redefined the way a campaign should be run in the 21st century. And that has had to be so frustrating to the McCain aides who just didn't "get it". McCain's inability to relate to the voters was why he couldn't recover from the economic crisis (he was up in the polls until it happened) and Barack Obama and his aides knew how to push all the right buttons. His aides were clearly more qualified than McCain's and everyone in the political sector saw that.

However, now that the election is over, whichever McCain aides leaked all of this are looking to:
a) find a scapegoat, like Campbell Brown said. It would be of utter betrayal and career suicide to speak badly of McCain. And they would never indict themselves.
or
b) Someone is creating the premise for a future book deal. America loves gossip and drama.

No matter which way you look at it, the fact that the aide/s remain anonymous raises red flags on the validity of the issue. Sadly enough, there will be those who will believe the speculation no matter what. Those people are inherently unfair and would like to see her political career go down in flames. There's nothing anyone can do about that but encourage them to attempt, without bias, to see both sides.

I didn't side with Obama, but I've always been fair in assessing him as a candidate. It's unfortunate that isn't the status quo in a now presumptuous and all too assuming America.

McCain was never "the savior" of the party. He was nominated by default. And he would have gotten further slaughtered if Palin didn't join the ticket.

Get over it already. The Messiah was elected. Let thy soul rejoice.

It's impossible to tell because Dems seem to glorify Obama and the government as if they are the saviors of the free world. My stepfather was just laid off after 20+ years from a company that shut its doors. However, we share the same ideology that work is always available to those who are willing and able. He is mowing yards and doing other odd jobs to make ends meet and it puts food on the table and keeps them in their house until he is able to find something a little more stable. People who choose not to be victims are not victims and I'm sick of our country shaping people to be exactly that. I believe that we should help the disabled, and that government assistance should be necessary, but when irresponsibility as a whole is enabled, the lines of those who were once willing to be responsible become blurred.

My siblings and I were raised by a single mom who worked overtime every week to support us. We would spend many evenings at her office, while she tried to get work done. And we pulled together and did it so I'm not a Republican snob who has or comes from money. Those who scrub floors to make ends meet are special people who typically pass on amazing work ethic. I don't want someone else supporting me if I lose my job. I want and need to support myself and my family, and I'm willing to do that because I choose not to be a victim. The more we require of the government, the more the government requires of us. Too many people have enslaved themselves to their governments, with dramatic results.

Oh, and for those that believe Joe is selfish. Yeah, and those who don't do anything but sit at home, play dominoes, steal electricity and cable, and go pick up a check every two weeks aren't. We should give those selfless Americans more. After all, they're decreasing the demand for gasoline, therefore, putting country first! The lower class rules! Hey, let's get them a computer so they can see how awesome Obama is. Wait, they've probably already stolen one. Is that how you got on here?

I can't write a long comment because I have to get up and go to work tomorrow, unlike most of the people here who believe that Joe should pay for those that don't want to help themselves. The irony is that the beer is on the working class. That's what bums spend their money on anyway....anything else would be responsible.
