John McCain shines with experience, not star power, and will provide the leadership that America needs.

THE NEXT president of the United States must be able to build a consensus, unify a divided country and tackle an uncertain economy, two wars and national security.

It's a job for someone with a proven track record, not untapped potential. Substance matters more than style. The next president must make tough decisions for the good of America, not get cozy with the special interests.

We believe the candidate who's best equipped to be our country's next chief executive during these difficult times is John McCain. We recommend his candidacy to voters.

The Republican nominee is a man of principle and courage, a man who has been tested on the fields of battle and in the trenches of politics. The veteran Arizona senator is wise in the ways of Washington, but he's not controlled by Washington.

2. Well... what happens when McCain dies and Palin takes over? Have they thought about that?

After all, "it's a job for someone with a proven track record, not untapped potential."

Pretty ridiculous.

5. I live near that part of Georgia

It's to be expected. The local CBS affiliate WTOC Channel 11 has this Poindexter looking dude (I'm guessing the owner/manager) spouting off Republican talking points in his editorials about "our boys overseas" and "support the troops" and all that mindless rah rah nonsense. Just spouting catchphrases without thinking deeper about the entire situation.

I'd hate to think who my area pamphlet, I mean, paper The Coastal Courier would endorse. Knowing them probably the same.

Luckily this area has a high concentration of Democratic blacks and other diverse populations (college towns too) to possibly make something happen in the electoral race. I believe Barack can get this place on his side if he put some energies here. It's all about the mandate at this point. How big can he make the landslide so he can root his agenda in office that much better? Every little state counts. I'm sure he has Atlanta and probably Savannah too ironically.
