    this is just the kind of ad that McCain wants to outlaw. He is not a conservative or a republican. I can’t imagine why anyone is voting for him.

    Well #1, I think people are starting to get sick of labels like “conservative”. The voters thought they were getting that with Dubya and a Republican congress and look what they wound up with; Out of control spending that would make a “liberal” blush.

    There aren’t a lot of people who are “conservative” on every issue, nor are there people who are “liberal” all the time either.People are looking to avoid extremism on both sides, and McCain represents someone who is more centrist than an extremist. Hence his appeal.

    As far as the ad itself goes, it shows why many people get turned off by political posturing these days. Misdirection and negativity can be powerful motivators…for all the wrong reasons.

    I would rather lance my hemorrhoids with a rusty knife and sit in a vat of alcohol than vote for Hillary or Hussein this November.

    Number 3- You really need to come to Jesus- maybe Mike Huckabee could touch your soul!

    You are trying to appeal to the days of America’s ugly past by calling Obama- “Hussein”

    Maybe you work for Bill Clinton’s school of racist code words.

    Hey Sean, you mean Bill Clinton, the first “black President”? My, my how quickley they turn.

    The black community never accepted Bill Clinton as “the first black president”. Chris Rock told one joke- then repeated by a famous black author- this is just nonsense.

    Only the status quo would vote or endorse the Clinton’s. You know who they are -the Dan Malloy and Bill Finch types.

    Connecticut Democrats: can feel change- is in the air!

    Reps. Larson, Murphy and DeLauro are united in supporting Obama.

    they are establishment insiders. no one cares who an elected person endorses.

    Anon 9: You must be a fan of Billary! Currently- Obama is leading in Connecticut. Also- is within the margin in CA.

    I am fired up and ready to go!

    Go Obama!
