I guess this ties into how America has been dumbed down: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3155057&mesg_id=3155057

And of course, how the media treats McCain compared to Obama and say, "bitter" comments: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5501686&mesg_id=5501686

Also, here is a thread with some links to articles, interviews and youtube clips relating to John McCain (including an interview with the author of the new book 'The Real McCain'): http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3148891&mesg_id=3148891

Finally, the McCain of 2000 is NOT the same as the McCain of 2008: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9000.html

PS---You can always watch TYT Live from 3-5 pm ET, with a Rolling Post Game 5-7 pm daily Monday-Friday at www.theyoungturks.com (both shows include a live chat). The RPG often contains political talk but also many non-political topics to lighten things up (and yes, that audio may not necessarily be work-safe).

Also, if you can't watch live, the 3-5pm portion of the show (politics) streams the rest of the day, all day right after the Post Game Show ends leading up to the initial show at 3pm.

1. Simple Answer

Hillary Clinton dragging the rest of the party down the toilet with her.

2. There is no "simple" answer.

But I guess blaming it on Hillary is an EASY answer. Talk about the dumbing down of America....

5. I Agree Wholeheartedly. n/t

6. Clearly there is some truth to that

It's undeniable. It's not the *only* reason, but it's part of the equation, without question.

3. Once Obama gets into GE mode McCains numbers will rapidly drop.

4. Bump!

7. I have to believe that anybody who is

supporting McCain just hasn't been involved in this campaign thus far.

It's my hope that once our nom (preferably Obama) is selected and goes toe-to-toe with McCain, people will see him for what he is. Scary.
