A C-List hispanic actress(using term loosely) promoting Obama. Really? You don't say.

'aww mookie!'

mccain is pulling out of florida -- no more money to compete here

mccain supporters aren't bigoted or anything are they, 2:48?

If youre out for a handout - the Democrats are the Party for you.

100 U.S. Ambassadors Endorse McCain-Palin:

Bill Ayers endorses Obama.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright endorses Obama.
Louis Farrakhan endorses Obama.
Tony Rezsko endorses Obama (from jail).

The Republican National Committee is about to pull the plug on its joint ads with the McCain campaign, and devote its resources instead to trying to save a couple of the senators who are at serious risk of losing their seats.

McCain is seen as a lost cause.

how come when i call the mccain campaign office in tampa they tell me a volunteer co-coordinator will call me back...and they never do??

To anyone still thinking of voting for McCain please google "The McCain-Palin Mob" or "The Sidewalk to Nowhere" and watch the YouTube videos. These are REAL McCain supporters waiting in line for his events! Are these the sort of people you want to be aligned with? Some of the things they say are downright frightening considering the history of extremist behavior in this country. This is getting out of control and I hope McCain stops it before its too late.
