The press loves to talk about what "flawed" candidates Obama and Clinton are, but the negatives for McCain are worse. For starters, he's 72, and that bothers more than a quarter of voters. In a year of change, a dinosaur is not the horse the GOP should be riding. His tendency toward anger, should it flare up in the debates again, will exacerbate fears about his age. Comics are already ridiculing his age, and if he turns into a cranky old guy, he could become a caricature by November.
And there are more substantive faults, too. His squeaky-clean image will be badly tarnished when more people learn about his history of marital infidelity and corruption. Cindy McCain earlier this year fiercely scolded Michelle Obama, but her history with John makes her a bigger liability:
McCain was still married and living with his wife in 1979 while, according to The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof, "aggressively courting a 25-year-old woman who was as beautiful as she was rich." McCain divorced his wife, who had raised their three children while he was imprisoned in Vietnam, then launched his political career with his new wife's family money.
Cindy is, moreover, the heiress to a beer distributorship, and her money and family connections helped launch McCain's political career. He has kept his finances separate from hers, but in the general election, her wealth will become a major factor. What was the relationship between a powerful senator and a wealthy family? The calls for Cindy to release her tax records have begun, and they will only intensify.
Finally, there's the issue of corruption. McCain's history with the Keating 5 may be old history, but it will be brandished like a club whenever the GOP try to smear Democrats. There may be further evidence of double dealing; a recent example in Harper's Magazine, which detailed the money and people behind McCain's Reform Institute. And these kinds of stories will only increase in frequency. (more) -

It has been a sad time for Ms. Clinton, who has had a free ride so far from the press and who obviously felt "entitled" the win the whole thing from the start.
No one is really digging further into the Colombia connection. Which dumped $30 million in Bill's "fund". But I am sure it will come out before it is all over.
Anyway, must say though, that last night's debate, was laughable. And not because of HRC or BO, but because of the "mediators". What a couple of clowns. Not one question really about the issues: health care, the war, education, social security, etc. We are watching the dumbing down of America, my friend. Thanks for your intelligent posts!

You have the right to your opinion, but I know for a fact that you are the first one to block people if they do not agree with you. Then you create a new personality and you dog them. And if they disagree with you again, you block them again. It is your right. But it is our right to find that a bit perverse. Also you had a tendency, which after some of use complained you stopped, thank god, TO SHOUT in entire paragraphs. Your right, but some of us find it annoying. And finally, you are obviously a fervent believer in your own ideas. Again, your right. It is our right to read and conclude that we think it strikes us as racist. Now I bet you will block me.
Which is fine because most then I will be part of an ever growing group who will no longer read your posts. So, eventually, you'll be spitting in the wind. (more)
