CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a strong play for votes in conservative South Carolina's primary on Thursday, . . .

--snip--

McCain drew chuckles from the audience with a slip of the tongue near the close of his speech. "And so I am confident with the leadership and backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around," he said, inadvertently referring to the Democratic incumbent before repeatedly correcting himself with a grimace.

"Romney. Obama. Romney. Obama.
WE KNOW there is no difference.
America is filled with such passive fools
that we and your bought media now control the suckers."

‘President Obama’ Will Turn Things Around

Also upside down and sideways. Tell us something we don't know.

It’s like Algore said in 1992: What should be up is down, and what should be down is up. Will the American people ever wake up?

Yes... misspoke.

Then again, it could be an "honorable man" candidly speaking of another "honorable man" while out stumping on behalf of a third "honorable man."

Hardly newsworthy on the gaffe, but boy do I think Romney is making a mistake campaigning with McCain. Seems he’s fighting the last political battle and thinks McCain has established conservative creds. Just looks weak campaigning with last time’s ultimate loser.

Of course he will, John. I mean, he's a decent guy and we don't have to fear a President Obama, right?

"I have to tell you, he is a decent person, and a person that you do not have to be scared as President of the United States.”

McCain, Oct. 2008

If there was a chance he'd defeat Obama, it evaporated right there.

But the entrenched, self-worshipping elitists who control the twin-party sham mean to replace constitutional self-government with dictatorship by the elite.

I think both are determined to prove that the conservative base is irrelevant and that elections can be won without it.

cCain drew chuckles from the audience with a slip of the tongue near the close of his speech. "And so I am confident with the leadership and backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around,"

This guy is absolutely in love with Obama.

Someone misspoke.

I'm sure mccain did misspeak but couple that with mccain telling us in 2008, " you have nothing to fear from a barack obama presidency", and you have one hell of a campaign commercial for obama.

mccain needs to be put on a shelf in a locked closet.

I turned to my wife when I heard that and said, “He just endorsed Obama.”

I still get furious over that “nothing to fear” line. I commend him for his service, but what a mealy-mouthed DC creature he is, so congenial with all his dem pals in the Senate. It seems like every time he speaks, I cringe.

What does one call it when two RINOs travel together.
Maybe its mating season for them
