Yeah, it's painful to see such key points left unsaid.

Y'know, I don't want to be the one telling John McCain to fight.

He may fight, he may not, but that's not the particular piece of advice I think he needs to hear from anybody.

I disdain all doomsayers.

I'm still waiting for that same fire McCain had at the end of his convention speech. Is he hiding it for some reason? If he isn't going to fight for me why in the heck should I fight for him?

re: #1 DeliLama

deli -

DON'T ASK! That is all.

-S-

Maybe John McCain is so tired of fighting other Republicans that he's too tired to fight against a DemocRat...

Nail the jello to the wall, John.

Are you serious?

No one has to tell Sarah.

If you need something done, ask a woman.

Hopefully, if all things go according to plan, tomorrow I will complete a nifty little esaay of political analysis that will hopefully take the "doom" out of "doomsday scenario."

/( sday scenario? What the hell is that, zombie?)

John, get on Obama's six, and don't come home unless you're beyond winchester.

_{"Winchester" (when a pilot is out of missiles and down to his gun, as in "I've gone Winchester")}

Even when I didn't agree with John McCain on an issue, I always believed that he had good reasons for doing whatever it was, for reasons that he believed were right. Unlike certain other Presidential candidates I could name. Standing up and screaming has never been his style, and in fact he never looks good when he gets angry (remember in 2000 when he lost his temper with Bush during a debate).

I'm going to trust him at least a little longer.

I wish both McCain and Palin had a rain-man-esque memory of the details and when Biden or Obama makes no sense, to jump on them immediately with the facts.

John and Sarah are going to be interviewed on Hannity and Colmes tonight, I believe.

Is it? It's on FOX's website as H and C ...... maybe both ?

Liked the McCain, Guiliani, & Romney combo as crusaders, but it ain't going to happen!

The Democrats injected John McCain with a paralytic toxin before the general election campaign even started. It's called Toxo-Cantankerosis Temper-Tantromium, which renders one unable to move, for fear of being labeled a senile old coot who can't control one's emotions.

It is among the most toxic substances in the modern pharmacopia.

re: #21 akak

He's supposedly on Xm now but I can't get his channel. I guess I need to call customer support.

Dennis is right. FIGHT, DAMNIT!

McCain may be too old to fight and I don't mean that disrespectfully. Obama has youth and good looks behind him and that 1/2 the battle in politics.

Sarah to "drop the puck" at Rangers-Flyers' game on Saturday in Philly.

Go Hockey Moms!

I wonder if Dennis is starting to think he has a shot at politics after the last debate?

re: #18 arethusa

John and Sarah on Hannity
Sarah only on Greta

Like the new comment numerals, Charles! The page seem to load new comments faster too, unless that's just an optical illusion.

John McCain is taking the high road with a group of misfit lying scumbags who wouldn`t know the high road if it fell on their heads...!

re: #30 unclassifiable

I would LOVE to see a debate between Miller and Obama.

It would be a bloodbath, with Miller holding the towel.

After living with it for a few hours, I think putting the comment date and the "reply/quote" links on a line underneath the username works well.

Also, the idea behind the change in the comment number is to make it stand out from the rest a bit more. It still has the same function: it's a link to that comment in a stand-alone window.

re: #25 zombie

I thought it was just his many years under the Senate congeniality rules.

I don't care if John McCain fight or not. I will pick up his rifle and fight for him.

Dennis Miller should move to Mich. and run against Al "Froggy" Franken . . .

McCain is playing like the British tennis players play at Wimbledon. No matter what they lose.

I want him to play like Jimmy Connors.

Grunt, groan, sweat, and at the end of the day you win. Win ugly if you must but win

re: #28 Maximu§

McCain may be too old to fight and I don't mean that disrespectfully. Obama has youth and good looks behind him and that 1/2 the battle in politics.

On the other hand Sen McCain has spent most of his adult life running campaigns or helping others run theirs. He is an old seasoned vet at this game while Sen Obama has never really fought a hard contested election.

I'm getting the impression Sen McCain is playing Red Cloud to Sen Obamas CPT Fetterman.

mccain does get feisty on the campaign trail.

I give it a thumbs up.

The only downside is an (apparent?) slight diminuation in the display size of the commenters' names, bruising delicate egos who need to see one's own name as big as possible on the LGF scrolling marquee.

I'd like to see Obama grow a pair and actually allow himself to be interviewed by Hannity. Now that could be a real bloodbath.

Oh boy. They are on...oh...mmmmm Hi Sarah!

Unfortunately I think you are right. He is playing the polite, dignified elder statesman to the Obamas camp of brash, rude, arrogant little sons who are familiar with every dirty trick and are capable of inventing some new ones on the run.

anyone else get the feeling McCain WANTS to lose?

Actually, the names are a bit larger, believe it or not. (Bumped it up a few percent.) I changed the font from Verdana to Trebuchet MS - maybe that's the difference you're seeing.

re: #49 psyop

When Madonna quits pretending to be British, I will pretend to care what she has to say about American politics.

A dependable measure of a person's characters can be obtained by surveying their detractors. It's not that I care what she says, but the fact that she said it only benefits Gov. Palin's reputation, IMO.

No.

That may explain why The One is outspending McCain 3 to 1 and still only a few points ahead in the polls.

Ah, I think that's it. Maybe the appear to be a little thinner, and that produces the effect.

re: #39 Charles

I think it looks nice like this.

re: #60 zombie

I'd rather John McCain pull his weight and pick up his own rifle.

Maybe he could even use it...

I don't think he feels like it.

Yes, I said that and got told to Fuck myself.

Are you serious? Someone actually used that word to you, not in the context of quoting a rap song?

I guess I've lived my whole life in hyper-liberal areas and I'm blind to reality. Never in my life have I ever observed or heard anyone saying that word or being overtly racist.

I'm in a coccoon of tolerance.

Our station puts Dennis Miller on from 4-6pm in our area, and I always look forward to listening to him on the drive home. Such a smart guy, witty, and from politics to entertainment to anything else, always has spot on comments and interesting guests. If you don't live in an area that gets him, check him out on the web ( [Link: www.dennismillerradio.com...] ).

Oh, and I definitely agree with Dennis--John, for goodness sake--take what you said at the end of your convention speech to heart: stand up and FIGHT! Your country needs you!
