The far left has taken you for a ride on that one. McCain has a reputation for straight talk, he is not going to promise Obama nonsense like ripping up NAFTA with fingers crossed behind his back.(memories of Chretien) Having said that, it SHOULD be the year for a Democratic in the White House. A unpopular war in Iraq, high gas prices, a economic slowdown all spell a Republican defeat, but if any one can defy the trend it is the President America has been waiting for, John McCain.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14943','Ted'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14943','Ted','You have to hear the 100 year comment in its full context Scott.

I hope he doesn't embrace this "100 crap" with McCain. There isn't one person in the media that hasn't trashed this talking point, it was clearly taken out of context, and when you see the entire quote, it was basically using Korea and Germany as examples of prolonged presence, not WAR. The Dems can hammer McCain on his Iraq stance, without fabricating this nonsense, which will ultimately backfire.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14926','Steve V'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14926','Steve V','Just one thing moving forward, or some advice for Obama.
