McCain just said he was proud of the Paris Hilton ad..
some woman in the audience called him on it, said it was puzzling why he would run such an ad after he had pledged a respectful campaign. He said it was about style vs. substance and that he owes it to the American people to point that fact out....:wtf:

So I guess he has to NOT talk about the issues to point out that he thinks Obama is not talking about issues?:crazy:

2. McCain has neither (style or substance).
I heard some talking head this morning say that McCain loves being the center of attention and he is jealous of Obama's popularity. It makes sense.

3. He is such a colostomy bag.
He is OLD, TIRED, WORN OUT, and CONFUSED. He and his campaign has lost its bearings. They are racing to the BOTTOM FAST.

12. Keep reeling out the rope to McCain
and maybe he'll keep shooting himself in the foot.

17. That's what I say!
He is going to self destruct without any help. Obama just needs to keep his cool and stay on the high road.

18. That townhall was horrible for McCain
It was filled with a lot of soundbites that can really hurt McCain. He's proud of the Paris-Britney ad. His answer about the Viagra, birth control question was not very good. He was running scared when that Native American confronted him about the bill McCain sponsored that moved those tribes off of their land for a mining company and into an area contaminated by radiation.

19. He had problems the other day too..
some lady tripped him up on immigration. He's talking out of both sides of his mouth, and it shows. So much for straight talk. These things should be a treasure trove for the Obama camp running ads.

21. now you know why they try to stack those 'meetings'...
except they can't keep out the 'stacked stackers'...and m.c.johnny will call on about anybody because he is such a 'maverick' and can't be controlled...or he can't pay close enough attention to know or remember who he is supposed to call on...

he is not exactly well-equipped to answer random questions...you would think his people would avoid those situations at all costs...

22. That ad isn't attacking Obama as much as it attacks the American people
It isn't trying to sway voters with issues. It's accusing the American electorate of being airheads who support candidates for no logical reason. This ad insults the American electorate and I don't see how McCain expects to sway any voters with it.
