    I always knew he was an underdog. It changes nothing for me.

    The Republicans won't rally, Bush is dragging everyone down, and Obama is too popular right now. It isn't McCains fault, but he is out.

    It's pretty lame. Yeah, American's love the "Comeback Kid" story, but I don't think anyone's going to forget how erratic he's been.

    The question should be How long will McCain stick to this theme? or What will his theme be tomorrow? or Will he steal another Obama theme?

    He's just saying the same things he's always said. He's still just like Bush and still on the wrong side of the issues.

    McCain's lack of focus and clear message is hurting him.

    Just another "game-changer" that won't change a thing.

      Being a POW does not make you a leader. McCain doesn't get economics and saber rattling is not a foreign policy. Its time for a change.

      The McCain campaign should be called "The Virginia Weekly Novelty Company". Its motto: "I don't know; maybe this will work".

      Some underdog, more money than most Americans, and Palin who abuses power and accepts gifts from special interests.

      McCain's an undergog because he's run such a dishonest, miserable and misguided campaign. Most voters will have little sympathy for him.

      He's been in Washington for 26 years! That's a year less than I've been alive! He can't just re-write history. Obama is change we need!

      All McCain's "themes" are never about policy...they all sound "made up" and come across as being stunts.
