Try to keep up!

I just read the entire thread, dood, you're not helping your argument any. YOU should attempt to "keep up."

From what I read on "USA Today" just now, it sounds like Obama is the one who called on McCain to do something.

McCain is acting like HE started it. HAHAHA

Obama to speak in 5 minutes.

Sounds like a simple solution to me. Afterall, isn't the President already in Washington.

It is a classic move... as the team makes an offensive move toward the goal, the apposing team calls TIME OUT to slow the momentum....

McCain is out of touch and Obama is rising in the polls. TIME OUT!!!

All three senators involved in this race should have been back in DC before the hearings began. No one gets a pass on this.

I agree with you on that.

Good point!

McCain is such a moron it is getting painful for me to watch the news anymore. OMG, this man has gone from someone who I actually had respect for to a pathetic right wing hack with nary a clue. God help us all if this team should win.

paraphrased there.

So what's your deal? Too good for that? McCain just took ahold of Ohio and edged closer to Obama in this race.

I don't care what y'all say, this is one very tight race. If you want to use this as an opportunity to bash McCain, go ahead. I say shame on you folks.

Senator McCain has bashed himself. He's put together a concerted effort to circumvent the press, shown poor judgment repeatedly, tossed the Republican mantle in the fireplace, and stomped all over the intelligence of the Republican Party.

So, if he were the POTUS would he ask Iran and NK to "hold on" while he addressed domestic issues?

What a total joke show!!!

McCain will direct getting a deal done and getting it done now! You libs are incredible, he puts country first and you still crticise him? what a joke! If Obama had made this move, you would have all been singing the praises.

I would have looked at that as strange and negative, if Obama did this.
However, he's up in all the national polls.
McCain's has been behind 80 to 90 percent of the time since the nominations where known and has run a sleazier campaign with way more lies and half truths than Obama has (see a USA today editorial this week). That's why he's being mocked by anyone who gets it, except the Hannity like crowd, like Carolina Cowboy.
