I’ve really wondered about this one. These 527s have dominated the last several presidential elections. They violate the spirit (and occasionally the letter) of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms. How will McCain deal with 527s doing expenditures on his behalf?
I don’t think he can win without them but if he denounces them, he’ll look like a hypocrite.
This is a serious question. I’m curious as to whether people have serious answers as to how he is going to deal with this.
I meant if he doesn’t denounce them

I realize the Presidential candidate has the final say in anything that goes on during the campaign and is the boss, but does the running mate have any power over their ticket? In my viewpoint, especially since Sarah Palin is being scrutinized so much, it seems that she holds no real decision making power in the campaign, and it seems that Joe Biden has some power, but not much. So how much say does a running mate have in a campaign? My guess is very little.

Republicans, for a long time now, have supported teaching children abstinence and have strongly criticized mothers who became pregnant before marriage. Yet they have nominated a woman’s whos own daughter lost her virginity and became pregnant before marriage. Besides looking hypocritical I think it might cost them the catholic vote. What type of impact do you think this revelation will have on the presidential campaign, if any at all?
I appreciate the replies.

Yep, McCain is trying to run. He’s trying to cancel the debate Friday and conveniently reschedule it the day the VP debates are supposed to take place.
Why is the McCain campaign so afraid of a debate on the issues?

What happens to any donations to the McCain and Obama presidential campaign that go unused after Election Day. Are they allocated to the RNC and DNC for use in future campaigns? Please include an online source with your answer for a chance to be selected best answer.

He said he’s going to help her out and raise money for her campaign because she’s paying the costs out of pocket.
What kind of fundraisers do you think he has planned to help her win?

This is coming form the McCain campaign. We in this country have witness very terrible moments in the history of presidential elections. Think of Robert Kennedy’s Assasination.
Will McCain goes as far as accepting this in his campaign.

And I say “their” campaign because it is clear that they are both running. I voted for Bill twice and I think he did a pretty good job as president although he made some mistakes. However, the contrast between the way Hillary is running her campaign and that of Obama is stunning. Obama is forced to defend himself from attack after attack. If Hillary had the goods, couldn’t she and Bill keep it positive?
Thoughts?

It has me.
I used to be so jaded with politics because now, Red vs. Blue is just two sides to the same worthless coin, but the Campaign for Liberty has re-energized me.
Has it motivated you as well? I’m now very interested in starting a private charity and maybe running for office in the future.
What are you going to do for the campaign for liberty?

when the obama campaign made fun of mccain for not knowing how many houses he owned (because his wife is the legal owner of several, according to their prenup, so he wanted to be accurate) it was a “legitimate issue” . when the obama campaign asked if palin opposed the bridge to nowhere (even though he and biden voted for it, and decided against transfering the money to new orelans after katrina) it was “legitimate”. I think it is great that someone is asking these very legitimate questions. we don’t need a radical in the whitehouse.
