John McCain says "I don't really understand economics"

bigbri

If I were a Democrat, I'd love to face McCain. He's never going to win the general election.

Yeah, if you're using lines like "dem's worst nightmare", you don't need to be president. That lame partisan bullshit game has got to go, at least for awhile. The country has real problems.

Maybe you should look at the polls for the least year that pit McCain against Hillary or Obama. I've said it before and I'll say it again; conservatives are being elected world over. While Obama would give a good fight, Americans won't trust Clinton. McCain has stood his ground since 2000 and it's his turn to be in the spotlight.

If we were gonna look at the polls for the last year, Giuliani would be president.

Polls are overrated.

Go ask Giuliani about polls.

McCain has lead against the Democrats since day one. He also has lead the Republican national polls for some time. Nothing is for certain, but you're deluding yourself if you thing Hillary Clinton is gonna dominate the election. McCain will pull more moderates and independents than she could imagine.

I am surprised his 'economics' statement didn't cause more of an uproar. I'm not saying it should have (I give the guy credit for being honest in a way, although it was a stupid thing to say), also in FL he said he felt the economy will be ok, and the big point of the election was the war. Tim Russert stopped him & questioned him on it, asking 'Are you sure about that?" and McCain confirmed yes.

I'm not saying he shouldn't be President for saying that, but if Howard Dean can lose it because he screamed "Yeaahhhhhh!!!", this certainly could have tanked his candidacy. Strange world we live in. Sometimes I wonder if there are people in the media making decisions on things like that & what stories make it big. (Ron Paul beating Guiliani in every state until FL yet getting nowhere near as much attention). just a thought.

I think this will be a major attack against him once he goes head to head against Hillary. Fortunately, he'll be able to trump her on any national security measures. It's going to be a tight race, no doubt, but Democrats are more scared of McCain than any other Republican candidate.

That's because he's the least horrible out of all of them Good grief, I couldn't imagine Romney or Huckabee running this country. Romney reminds me of a guy who should be playing President in a movie, like "Independence Day"

This elections starting to really dwindle down. Next Tuesday will be huge. McCain seems to be taking it for the Republicans, and Obama right now is gaining on Hillary. No way Super Tuesday ends it for the Dems, but I think McCain could just about win it that day. It'll be an interesting day to say the least.

Randall Flagg

I disagree with you on the Dems. Hillary is leading big numbers in New York and California. She will most certainly pick up other North East states as well. My personal prediction is that Hillary will win with a considerable margin, but not enough to completely knock Obama out. Edwards, in a true ambulance chaser fashion, will endorse Hillary essentially delivering the Coup De Grace to Obama when the many other endorsements for her follow.

PaSnow

I think Hillary will win also, but in the last few days Obama has crept up.

Obama really needs some kindof surge or momentum to actually surpass her, (win California) but overall I think Hillary might win more delegates on Tuesday, which, while it won't give her a mathmatical victory, will give her the momentum again to ride out the rest of the states. Although, they're very spread out after Tuesday (like 2 states a week on average) so it'll drag on. Ultimately though, it wouldn't surprise me if Hillary wins the Democratic ticket, it just won't be on Tuesday.
