Edwards hands 3AM phone call Presidency to McCain
Posted 15 weeks 6 days ago byGood editorial
regarding John McCain's experience in response to the actions, implications and consequences regarding the Russian/Georgian conflict. According to the editorial above, this answers the questions about who would Americans want answering the phone at 3AM (from the HRC commercial). In other words, tough times call for a calm, confident, capable Commander-In-Chief.
Contrast Senator Obama's rather generic response from Hawaii http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12419.html . If I knew nothing of world affairs, I would also call for a stop of violence and insist on a diplomatic solution.
I've read the Edwards affair started 2 1/2 years ago and in that time frame the mainstream media has spent countless pages on political themes. Some I remember from the last year or so:
Bush lied - Sheehan,Rumsfeld,Plame Game, Cheney "So?", Surge won't/will work
Pre-election election - Hillary v Rudy, Huckabee suprise, Mormon Romney
McCain unfit - temper, geezer-basher gaffes, affair that did/ did not happen, McSame as Bush
Barry the Muslim/socialist - Jeremiah Wright, Chicago dirty politics, world citizen, Michelle patriotism
It seems if some of the energy spent on the above political "stories" had been directed at Edwards, perhaps we would have some different circumstances now. What could have clouded their judgement. Hatred directed at the evil masterminds Bush/Cheney, who unfairly stole the election from previous savior? Maybe they didn't feel the need to scrutinize Edwards? How could they, his wife is suffering from cancer. Ironically, the lack of coverage of Edwards may eventually get a Republican President elected. Whatever the reason the Edwards affair wasn't discovered or newsworthy, it may have changed the course of American History by giving Senator Clinton the edge in primaries instead of Sen Obama.
3 AM President - John McCain, brought to you by John Edwards.

Submitted on November 3rd, 2008 by AnonymousAre reporters trying to achieve personal benefits by playing nice with the frontrunner? Jonah Goldberg of the National Review Online explains, “Most of the reporters covering these campaigns want to be rewarded with White House correspondent jobs.” So, this generally means that you want to be sure that they’ll have access to who they figure will be America’s next president. Conversely, John Harris and Jim VandeHei have a slightly different view on this matter. Through a study by the Project for Excellence in Journalism (funded by the esteemed Pew Research Center), they report that six out of every 10 John McCain stories were negative. Furthermore, twice as many stories were published in favor of Barack Obama. VandeHei points to members of the GOP playing the blame game as McCain’s campaign begins to wither. In a video opinion piece, he stated, “There is always a pile-on at the end of a campaign.” In this case, however, it’s the policies and campaign strategies that have placed a strain on McCain’s crusade. The obvious is clear; journalists love a frontrunner and favor momentum. This is probably what Obama is providing them now. It’s similar to the kind of momentum quick cash loans can give your budget when you need it. Although it’s temporary, it’s truly a great feeling. Yet, ‘who’ will bring America lasting change?

I AM MAD AS HELL
Submitted on August 14th, 2008 by Skye RiversWhat on earth is anyone thinking even allowing Obama to have gone this far. He is completely ignorant on the issues. What a fool to think he can just strut in and say what he did in the above paragraph. This is bullshit! MCcain atleast has a clue, more so than Obama. If anything, and Obama gets in office, we are going to be in a WWIII.

Submitted on August 14th, 2008 by BeoGeorgia is an ally of the US, if we do not show support for our allies, then we lose credibility in the world. Georgia was one of the few countries that actually sent fighting troops to Iraq. I do not know what our response should be. I do know that Obama is not capable of providing that response and John McCain is. Obama's response of "can't we all just get along" is immature and provides us a glimpse of our nation's future foreign policy. I am not saying that we go to war and neither did McCain, but Obama showed no inkling of the magnitude of the problem and its global consequences. It makes even scarier the fact that Obama wants to neutralize our military strength by getting rid of our nuclear arsenal. Wouldn't Putin just love that.
