Did McCain just say he'd support a DRAFT?!?!
I hadn't heard the quote yet, but someone told me about it tonight? If that's true, Obama could be up by 20 points tomorrow if he gets out there and make hay of it! McCain's campaign will be dead on arrival. God, please let this be true! Obama MUST turn this on him!!!!

1. He's obviously targeting the 18-30 age demographic.
They're bound to vote for McCain now.

7. Yes. Targeting people for
death and flip-flopping on issues are McCain's long suits.

2. Here the video:
"And these are the people we tied yellow ribbons for, and Bush patted on the back. If we don't reenact the draft, I don't think we'll have anyone to chase bin Laden to the gates of Hell."

"Ma'am," the Senator responded, "let me say that I don't disagree with anything you said. Thank you, and I am grateful for your support of all of our veterans."

4. You're Right, But Obama Won't Do It
Too confrontational.

Too strong.

We need a weaker campaign ... I guess.

5. YES! how else are we going to be in Iraq for 100 years?
I'm surprised no one had thought of that before?
