A quick thought on John McCain’s bad weekend… Let’s hope it’s a trend for McCain. Because John McCain doesn’t really know what Iraqi’s or American’s want. Barack Obama knows American’s want out of Iraq and he’s in Iraq scoping out the facts on the ground.

Late last night I watched the video below about Clinton supporters who plan to actively campaign against Barack Obama as the nominee, and vote for John McCain:
