I expect us to get involved in more wars and to have them mismanaged for as long as Iraq was. Shouldn't come as a shock to anyone with open eyes enough to see who McCain is taking on as advisers.

D-Day training session. Glad you understand that there will be more wars. You are on the road to recovery.

The way we handled it has our enemies leaving yellow puddles on the ground and sending their pants to the dry cleaners.

When somebody says that war was mismanaged it indicates an off the chart level of ignorance.

"We are paying a very heavy price for the mismanagement—that's the kindest word I can give you—of Donald Rumsfeld, of this war," the Arizona senator told an overflow crowd of more than 800 at a retirement community near Hilton Head Island, S.C. "The price is very, very heavy and I regret it enormously."

As a chaser here is a challenge
1. Find any counter insurgency operation in world history that has had fewer casualties.
2. Find a major conflict against an actual army that was concluded faster or with fewer casualties.

Most people can achieve the level of diambiguation needed to parse the statement you presented. Of course most people know better than to take snippets assembled by the AP from multiple speeches at multiple times at face value.

You however are unable or unwilling. Which is it please ?

A Republican using "The Nation" as his reference has to have some issues.

advisers, then you use him and one of his remarks about Rummy to justify your point. Inconsistent much?

Note where the arrows are pointing.

You know I was going to argue but you haven't said anything. If you want to argue a point you might try providing some evidence to support and saying why you feel that way.

Using a magazine that practically advocates the violent overthrow of the government isn't a great buttress for the idea that somebody's views are out the mainstream either.

Or do you consider The Nation mainstream ?

The McCain quotes from the article aren't correct?

That McCain isn't surrounding himself with neoconservatives?

Nobody seemed to have any problem quoting from left wing sources when it concerned Ron Paul. I can mention his name now, yes?

... which usually means less logical & open minded than the average freshman.

I don't know which is more frightening: That you said it -- or that I perfectly understood it!

Good for you.

First though why don't you define Neoconservative. It seems to be a recurring theme that people who use the term as a pejorative more often than not don't know what it means.

Second why don't you say why you feel his particular positions aren't in the mainstream rather than let Kristina Vanden Heuvel do your thinking for you.

Interpretation is misleading and the poll was just poorly constructed.

A proper poll would have been easy to do:

1. Who do you want to answer the call? McCain or Clinton?

2. Who do you want to answer the call? McCain or Obama?

Then you'd actually get some usefull information.

You know a vast plurality have McCain as their choice in this matter.

You learn that support amongst the democrats falls along partisan lines. This implies there has been no clear decision reached.

Overall its not a great question replacing it with a preference question of how would you rank X in handling the call would have been better. It still does its job.

would have been each candidate individually.

Would you be comfortable or uncomfortable with [candidate] answering the call, 1 being least comfortable and 5 being most comfortable.

Randomize the order.

My own personal answer would have been a 5 with McCain (my beefs with him are on other topics) about a 3 with Clinton, and a 1 with Obama. That would have given us real information, because I'd say that it's not a net negative with anyone who would average a 3 on the question.

The head to head numbers would have been interesting as well.

Agreed. That would have provided better information.

Here again McCain has trouble getting a majority to support him- and Security IS his strong suit. Security is what he has based his hopes on, but he is not in trouble, I just don't understand that!

I do understand results. Lets examine McCains.

State Republican Vote %

Iowa 13
Wyoming -0-
NH 37
Mich. 29
SC 32
Nev. 12
Florida 36
Maine 21
West Va. 1
Utah 5
Tenn. 31
Okla. 36
ND 22
NY 51 1st over 50% and it is NY
NJ 55 Another east coast state
Mont. 21
Missouri 32
Minn. 21
Mass 41
Ill. 47
Ga. 31
Del. 45
Conn. 52 Again East Coast
Colo. 18
Calif. 42
Ark. 20
Az. 47 Not even 50% in his home state
Alaska 15
Alabama 37
Washington 25
Louis. 41
Kansas 23
Va. 50 Yea! 1 over 50 we might win
Maryland 53 DC influence
DC 64 DUH!!
Wisc. 54
Vermont 72 Most Lib. state in USA
Texas 51 49% said no to him
Rhode Island 64 East Coast again
Ohio 59 Battle ground state Yea!

Folks this is Republican Primary Voters!!!!
Take out the East coast states and McCain has 4 states with
50+% of Republica support. All 4 of them were only after all were out of the race except Huckabee and Paul. None of them are 60% or more even with only Paul and Huckabee left.

This a STRONG signal of the WORK McCain has to do just to secure his base!!

Look at Texas (where I live), a SOLID RED State and he gets 51% with only Huckabee/Paul left.

McCain and the RNC Brain Trust are fooling themselves if they think McCain now has the support of the base. At our Precint Convention we had 8--thats right 8 show(dems had over 200 out of 500 total voters that day). Some Prec.s in our county had 1 show for their convention. This is not a candidate who has the base excited.

Better get to work Senator McCain or pray (if you do pray) the Dems. rip themselves apart before the election or you may end up the Michael Dukakis of the 21st Century Republican Party.
