It's going to be the X-factor in this race, I think. Just a hunch, but that's what I think Axelrod is thinking.

It is sick and wrong that an innocent rancher had to be killed for this to become spotlight for Obama. They have turned their head against McCain on this issue yet he keeps fighting them. I believe now Obama and Napolitano cannot ignore the seriousness of this issue. Keep McCain fighting! McCain needs to keep pushing Napolitano and Obama for troops for our border.

It is sad that homeland security does not have the funds to place troops there. We cannot protect our Nation yet we will spend a trillion dollars on HC and we are not even sure what that will entail. It is time the government puts funding towards our borders and keep our citizens safe!" Well maybe if Bush had not sent all our available troops on a dumb ass war in Iraq maybe we would have some here to defend the border. Plus we would have a trillion dollars to do healthcare. WIN,WIN McCain has been calling for troops for a long time now. It is sad that homeland security does not have the funds to place troops there.

Sigh. What was said was "(John McCain) has always been for the greater good of America, which includes both those on the right and those on the left. And I think until recently he was very happy to find that common “middle” or “central” point where all Americans could be happy with a piece of legislation. But now that the Obama administration has put an end to all bi-partisan efforts by passing HC without any Republican support I think you’re seeing John McCain do what he’s always done, and that’s adjust to the political/social climate." Now, ottoBS, even someone as fact-challenged as you can appreciate that Obama's words on bipartisanship "Elections have consequences. We won. We get to decide." You still think Obama was the font of bipartisan cooperation on HCR? Is this part of that whole democrat ditch digger nonsense about HCR had a million GOP ideas in it? LOL. Yeah, that's some Easter Bunny you've got typing at your 'puter. By the way, time to man-up on the bet. You said all the democrats here were universally opposed to Code Pink's antics toward Karl Rove. You were wrong. Time for that promised apology of yours... man-up. If you can. ootoBS gets another one wrong, again. Sigh.

We all know that we need to solve the border security issues, and it is a fact that John McCain has been on the forefront of that. I think the disconnect comes when people forget the kind of politician John McCain is. He has always been for the greater good of America, which includes both those on the right and those on the left. And I think until recently he was very happy to find that common "middle" or "central" point where all Americans could be happy with a piece of legislation. But now that the Obama administration has put an end to all bi-partisan efforts by passing HC without any Republican support I think you're seeing John McCain do what he's always done, and that's adjust to the political/social climate. In my book this is what any great leader does. If you always stay the same, you're not growing. PERIOD. McCain's got my vote.
