when McCain has overwhelming support among members of the military.

And of course you have proof of this, right?

I guess they overwhelmingly support Sen. McCain but donate their money to Ron Paul and Sen. Obama.

From January 2007 through March of this year, service members or civilian employees of…

Sail, Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, Sen. McCain said it would be just the two of them. He failed to mention that he would be inviting a bunch of his supporters to the debate.

I reported at the top of this hour that the campaign had told us at fox…

Sez, Couldn't agree more. I'm not sure what a "real man" is where redmeatkoolaid is from but where I grew up, real men didn't say, "c'mon you wussie, me and my friends are going to kick your ass."

Yabits, It's not in Sen. McCain's best interest to remember ANYTHING from the 2000 campaign. Most of his position in 2000 are opposite of his current ones. That sort of thing can get you labeled as cheap, beach foot-wear.

redmeat, Would step up to what? A cherry-picked audience? Keep swingin'…

GoodDonkey,

I have to disagree with this statement:

The job in Afghanistan should have long been over.

Considering the terrain and the experience of the fighters there (they held the Russians at bay for far longer than the U.S.'s coalition has been there), I think we'd still be fighting a…

Smitty, I don't think it was the lack of teleprompters that bothered the Obama campaign as much as having to deal with a rigged audience. Also, why give Sen. McCain the free publicity when we can just eliminate the middle man and wait for joe lieberman to explain to us…

Actually, I think the U.S. tried to switch back in the 70s. I remember being taught the metric system in 2nd and 3rd grade. I believe the problem was, as Triumvere stated, re-educating those who had grown up with the old English system. As a little kid who really hadn't…

Timorborder and Kinniku, You are both likely correct. But wow, talk about adding insult to injury. The J-gov detains the guy long enough for his visa to expire and then kick him out. So much for the old "Yokuso Japan" thing, eh? ;-)

I wold suspect that after being locked up for 10 months, the guy didn't really mind the free ride home on the J-gov's dime, but just out of curiosity, on what grounds was he deported?
