What in the world is this guy DOING??

First he goes "I will not waive the white flag in Iraq"

Then...We might be there [Iraq] for 100 yrs if we have to!

And then...we are only gonna have [a] Japan/Korea type of Occupation there.

And now..."War Will Be Over Soon"

Is he a flip flopper or just suffering from memory loss?? Whoa, He's gonna need a lot of energizer batteries come this fall!

When war is your strong point, it's a hard sell to the 70% already tired of it. At least he's not staying the course.

He's not staying the course... he's staggering around on it.

Call me optimistic, but I don't think he's got a chance against Obama in November. His "100 years in Iraq" comment alone will sink him with most voters. On the superficial side--which counts for much in general elections--he looks terrible. He angers quickly, he's snide much of the time, and then at other times, as recently as when he was being questioned about the lobbyist/NYTimes story last week, he appears almost comatose.

At his age, no doubt he does have memory loss. And given the level of stress he's under during this campaign, that memory loss is probably fairly significant. It'll be amazing if he even gets through this campaign.

McCain is certainly not presidential material. No wonder so many Republicans are pulling out their hair.

Actually I was listening to talk radio out of Seattle this morning and they were hypothesizing that Ralph Nader is suffering from Dementia. That would explain much.

Can we PLEASE refrain from assigning diagnoses of mental illnesses onto any of the candidates? This is just outrageous -- and unnecessary.

I hear McCain eats babies. That's why the hard right Republicans don't like him.

Keep telling yourself these things if they make your candidate Obama look like a winner.

When push comes to shove and these two are side by side debating actual points Mr. McCain will make Mr. Obama look very, very vulnerable.

Of course you see it your way and I see it mine. I trust the American people will watch these debates and judge accordingly.

The American public will see a well spoken, young, energetic leader in Obama. While in McCain they'll just see an old geezer. They will judge accordingly all right.

I give the voters a bit more credit than to be swayed by feelings alone. I think listening to what the candidates say will persuade most rational people. Maybe it will be Obama who has the policies that will appeal to the voters. More taxes, more entitlements, more gov't. Who knows? If the majority want more socialism Mr. Obama will indeed win.
