McCain campaign is childish
From NBC's Kelly O'Donnell
When asked for a reaction to Obama's plan to accept the nomination at the stadium instead of the planned convention venue, a McCain aide pointed out "that boy-band 'NSync' also sold out Invesco twice...NSYNC was at Mile High twice, in 2000 and 2001.

So Obama will be at Mile High twice . . . in 2008 and 2012?


and this one

Mile High Stadium and Invesco aren't the same. And Invesco didn't open until 2001, so it's pretty damn impressive that NSYNC sold it out before it was even opened.

Really, does the McCain camp do ANYTHING but lie? And when will the press start to actually report on his campaign instead of just waiting in line to get the next Dunkin' Donuts order? Oh, make sure you get sprinkles guys, that's McCain's favorite.

3. If the tables were turned...
I bet they'd be gloating. These people are disgusting and I can't imagine why a person would vote for a candidate who runs his campaign this way...

4. Of course, now the young girls who were in the NSync audience
are voting age and probably won't be voting for gramps.

8. lol Now that Obama has the better image suddenly substance matters.
Republicans didn't seem to care about substance when they were running Bush. Too bad Obama has both image and substance, so they really can't win either way.

13. Which is ironic when you think about it.
People can be immature at any age though.

15. Why is McCain's name in GD:P?
