Durbin: McCain's a baller, too
By Jeff Dufour and Patrick Gavin
POSTED August 25, 2008 | 11:46 AM
Barack Obama may be able to drain a three pointer when the cameras are rolling, but John McCain has at least some metaphorical game. So said Obama's own Illinois colleague and campaign co-chair, Sen. Dick Durbin, at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters on Monday morning.
Responding to a question about recent poll numbers that have the race a dead heat, Durbin said, "Over the last week, John McCain has had a 12-0 run in this basketball game."
But, he cautioned, "momentum can shift" very quickly.

twopals1@verizon.net: "Biden will get the academy award for playing 2nd fiddle to a guy who he himself said was totally unqualified to be POTUS. What a toady.. Hillary the other political whore will stand there up and praise bambi with enough egg on her face to make an omelet... Bubba said it best when he called the bambi candidacy a joke.. Mccain will beat this clown like a drum in Nov, there isn't anything there."POSTED Aug 25, 2008

nvlissides@yahoo.com: "State Polls put them neck and neck in the electoral college. McCain was ahead of Obamanition last week. Obama is a joke candidate that will result in yet another loss for the Dems. Look at his record: Ran for Congress: Lost Ran for State Senate: Won after suing to have most other Democratic candidates excluded from running. Ran of US Senate: Won after suing to unseal his opponent's divorce case file, then beat his replacement -- Alan "I'll Run for Anything" Keyes. Quite the Statesman."POSTED Aug 25, 2008

nizbat@aol.com: "padillaben@yahoo.com: madonna accurately projected mccain as a hitlerian figure. the comparison is valid: autocratic, fueled by anger and plagued with irrational outbursts, ultra-militaristic & militarily fetishistic, abrupt and sarcastic rather than responsive, and wildly and fanatically patriotic--beyond nationalistic, to the point of xenophobia. if this man becomes president (which i believe will happen, as you can count on the naivete of the current u.s. populace, who believe every pack of lies republicans brazenly put forward), america will not survive his tenure. the evidence is conclusive that republican campaigning appears to be based on the same idea as the famous hitler quote: "tell a big enough lie to the people, and keep repeating it.""POSTED Aug 27, 2008

me@domain.ext: "Very well said nizbat@aol.com. Many of these responses are disturbingly nauseating in their devoutness and ignorance. I only hope you are wrong about our naivete... How can conservatives accuse BHO of lacking substance when he was the only candidate to openly decry the phoniness of the gas tax holiday and other Republican schemes to mislead the masses? Do republicans read articles longer than two paragraphs? God save us from the propaganda and political ploys of an old, conniving, bellicose POW."POSTED Sep 13, 2008

howard521@gmail.com: "OBAMA = BETRAYAL Obama supporters are foolish to think that he will never betray them. Obama was a close friend of Pastor Wright for TWENTY YEARS. Obama threw Wright under the bus for personal ambition. McCain would not betray his country even after 5 years of torture. You can put lipstick on a traitor, but he's still a traitor."
