I still say that McCain should ask Hillary to be his running mate, then the Republicans can elect a Conservative Nominee. The problem with McCain is that he is more of a Libertarian than he is a Republican.
Race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity, handicap, etc. are all off limits. Age is not. The only thing inevitalbe in life unless you die young, is growing old.

And it's too bad... I WANT to think that the southern Oregon coast has slightly more intelligent individuals than the idiot white masses in a state like West Virginia (the state with the former KKK member who is a Senator). But that's just a pipe dream anymore.

Boy, there's some ignorance afoot. It really is sad that there are so many people in this community who will willfully stay misinformed or uneducated, but will then accuse others of crying foul.
I did witness people crying about sex and race... oddly enough, in almost every instance, it was someone in the Clinton campaign (in spite of the "memos" that have been passed around on "the internets," the Obama campaign stayed above the fray). The majority of African Americans supported the Clintons, at least until Bill turned the race into a real issue of race after South Carolina.
Also, in spite of what some in the white community think (I used to think this... you know, when I was 10 years old), Al and Jesse DO NOT speak for the African American community... they speak for themselves, as individuals who are trying to make money, not improve justice or racial harmony.
And seeing the comment about "Marxist" ideas... wow. Just wow. At least you didn't say "Barack Hussein Napoleon Pol-Pot Obama" or whatever flavor-of-the-week idiocy passes as "fact" in the inner-circles of ignorant, uneducated Americans.

Richard...Sounds like your'e having a difficult time not focusing on racism and sexism. And I find it more difficult to imagine that you think that McCain can seperate himself from the Republican Party and a contiuation of their goals. Can you really be happy and want more of what they've created and where we're at!!

For six long years Republicans had total control over the presidency, the Senate and the House and did nothing but rubber stamp a criminal administration and distract the public with nonsense issues like flag burning, one man and one woman and flag pins. All the while introducing legislation that would enrich themselves and their corporate cronies.
Democrats have a very slim majority and the Republicans have threatened to filibuster every good piece of law that has been introduced. They have created gridlock and are looking out for their own while the American people suffer under high gas and food prices and our men and women are in harms way in Iraq.
This country has had Reagan, Bush, Clinton and now Bush....all have been corporate presidents. It's time for a change.

Richard, I mirror your opinion. But I am goiing to take it one step further. If Barack does not win. No matter how close he gets with electoral votes or popular votes, the "justice brothers" ole Al and Jesse are going to say that America is a racist country just like they have been saying all along for years. I believe that the Assination of MLK and the fact the James Earl Ray was convicted so quickly of the crime just establishes that fact. Never mind the fact the Obama has Marxist ideas that will run the country into the ground deeper. Never mind that Hamas and the other Terror Groups over in the Middle East endorse him to the fullest. Need I say More?

"Just what have the Democrats accomplished since taking over the House and Senate after the election of 2006? The answer is: absolutely nothing positive."
This answer requires noting that Democrats barely have a majority in the Senate, and Republicans under its rules have blocked every positive measure.
GOP politicians have failed at everything except enriching themselves and cronies at our expense, and most Americans are way past being sick and tired of you people now ......... enjoy your retirements.
