After days of watching in silence, McCain calms the crowd at his Minnesota town meeting.

“I want everyone to be respectful. And let’s make sure we are, because that’s the way politics is done in America.”

Tells one supporter who says he’s scared of an Obama presidency: “I have to tell you, he is a decent person, a person that you do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States.”

After a woman calls Obama “an Arab,” McCain interrupts to say: “No, ma’am. He is a decent family man, citizen

McCain is an ass!

It's up to us to drag him kicking and screaming across the finish line.

Then it'll be up to us to keep him from screwing up, but Gov. Palin will help in that respect too.

Yeah - was wondering, but it’s now showing up on multiple political blogs

McCain just can not believe that Obama is the kind of man Obama really is.

McCain can't believe that the US would make such a man its President.

So he soft peddles the enormity of Obama’s radical ties and allies, his corruption, his storm trooper tactics.

Many Americans can clearly see Obama for what he is. Tragically, the Republican candidate for President can not.

You know - he doesn't to offend his precious moderates and independents. The red meat stuff he leaves up to Sarah. He wants to be the good cop.

I agree with you. McCain cannot be seen as unprofessional and un-presidential. Attack BO’s ideas and associations. There is so much wrong right there, Mc Cain has no need to attack him personally.

I don’t think McCain wants to win anymore.

I have never had the feeling that he ever wanted to win.

The MSM is running a story saying that the fired up crowds coming to see McCain or Palin speak are "an angry mob" and are "putting the swing voter off the GOP" because no one on the fence is going to be swayed by an angry unruly mob.

...So why do you think the MSM is delivering that message? Because an energized GOP scares the living heck out of them, that's why. Let's stay FIRED UP!

I saw the whole thing. It was pitiful. 4 or 5 speakers BEGGED him to FIGHT in the 3rd debate.

3 or 4 times, he asked the crowd to tone it down. They’ve gotten to him.

Just saw the clip of McCain saying Obama is a decent man, not to be afraid of. Yikes. He could excoriate O without being over the top given all the evidence. I will vote for Mac because he’s not Obama and because Sarah Palin is in there for the future. All of our bumperstickers have Palin highlighted.

The Dems are right about McCain- he is erratic. Pick a strategy and stick to it, McCain.

I’m voting McCain, but I look real funny wearing a clothespin.
