Former GOP Governor: Who is John McCain?

Today former Michigan Governor William Milliken is quoted in the Grand Rapids Press: "He is not the McCain I endorsed,He keeps saying, 'Who is Barack Obama?' I would ask the question, 'Who is John McCain?' because his campaign has become rather disappointing to me."

Milliken who endorsed McCain in the primaries went on to say:"I'm disappointed in the tenor and the personal attacks on the part of the McCain campaign, when he ought to be talking about the issues."

Quite clearly the dishonorable tactics of McCain and his campaign staff are backfiring. Not only with independent voters but leaders in their own party as well.

Michigan and Florida Dems Get What They Asked For

Since I have not hesitated to express my views when I disagree with the actions of the party leaders, it is only fair that I express my agreement as well.

The DNC Rules and Bylaws committee met today with a very difficult emotionally charged task to decide what to do with the Florida and Michigan situation. What I found surprising is that both states parties came to the meeting with good solid compromise proposals. The DNC approved both. Both states delegates were seated with one-half votes. The Obama campaign was generous in not objecting to allocation of those delegates based on the primary results, despite the fact there was no campaign there. In the case of Michigan were the primary didn't even have Obama's name on the ballot, they chose an option that based on the best information available reflected the will of the voters of that state.

I applaud the committee for working through a very difficult situation. I also applaud especially the members of the committee that were Clinton supporters who also supported this compromise in the interest of fairness and unity.

I also express my disdain at the childish and rude behavior of the Clinton supporters in the audience along with the silly threat by Clinton lackey Howard Ickes. These folks are never going to be happy unless Hillary gets the nomination. That is not going to happen for many reasons, regardless of the outcome of the vote today.

It's time for the Clintonites to be adults and to start thinking about the good of the country, rather then Hillary's ambitions.

Hillary on Michigan (Shame on Hillary: 6)

Today Hillary went to Detroit to tell the voters of Michigan how important it was their votes counted and to blame Obama for not valuing the voters in Michigan.

But on October 10 she said this in and interview on New Hampshire Public Radio concerning the Michigan Primary.

"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything."

Apparently since Hillary is losing they became a lot more important. Changing the rules of the game because your losing is called cheating.

Honesty is the most important trait in a President. Hillary is not qualified to be President.
