How is McCain going to deal with independent expenditures during the campaign?


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

How much say does a running mate, have in a campaign?


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.

How will Palin’s daughters pregnancy affect the campaign?


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.

Republicans, are you embarrassed by the McCain campaign trying to cancel the VP debates?


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?

Is McCain campaign requesting someone to Volunteer and prevent (KILL) Obama from being President?


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.

How do you feel about the way the Clintons are running their 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?

Has the Ron Paul campaign changed your opinion on politics and encouraged you to run for office in the future?


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?

why is it called a smear campaign when obama is questioned on legitimate associations?


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.
