Republican Sen. John McCain, engaged in increasingly sharp attacks on rival Barack Obama, pledged that if elected president, he will work closely with Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, praising her as an effective leader and an "inspiration to millions of Americans."

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said during an interview with The Chronicle prior to a fundraiser at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco.

"We talk about (New York Sen.) Hillary Clinton and her inspiration to millions of Americans. Speaker Pelosi has been an inspiration as well" in a role that is "in many ways ... more powerful than the president."

And McCain also had high praise for the former 2000 presidential candidate Al Gore and his advocacy on the issue of climate change. McCain recently raised eyebrows in GOP circles by calling "doable" Gore's suggestion that the country could become entirely energy independent through use of renewable resources within 10 years.

... His praise for two Democrats who are regularly in the bulls-eye of the conservative talk radio and the right-wing blogosphere is likely to draw fire from Republican loyalists, who consider Pelosi and Gore to be the evil twins of liberalism.

14. The most divisive President in memory said "I'm a uniter, not a divider"

22. Big difference. The Dems are going to own his ass if he's elected

It's looking like we'll have solid majorities in the House and the Senate. If he's elected, the only way he gets anything done is to work with us.

But my hope is it's a trifecta for the Dems- House, Senate and the White House.

[Alcibiades]

15. He respects Pelosi

Because she's already been supporting Bush's destruction of the Constitution by taking impeachment off of the table.

[xchrom]

16. let's see -- he wants pro-life judges -- he likes the way the

Federalist Society thinks about the constitution -- is no friend to social security -- no friend to medicare -- is a great close friend to the military industrial complex -- doesn't REEALLY believe in gov regulation of our mega corporations --

yeah he'll work REAL close with dems:eyes:

"I respect Speaker Pelosi. I think she's one of the great American success stories," McCain said. "...Speaker Pelosi has been an inspiration as well"

[Kablooie]

20. Oh good. I'll vote for HIM then.

Who the hell is he talking to?

That statement won't get any Democrat votes, I mean Obama will work with Democrats also but a little more effectively.

And it sure won't get him any Republicans on his side.

Another idotic thing to say. (campaignwise)
