McCain then put some blame on Obama's part for this choice of words because he also spoke at the event, however, Obama was not there when it was said, and Ed is not an official supporter of his campaign. Obama even denounced this radio host because he criticized him by referring to him by his middle name, Hussein.
I just thought this was foretelling of the disagreements to come between Obama and McCain, if Obama can gain the Democratic nomination. Who do you think will win?

I'm completely biased, but I think that at this point things are in Obama's favor because the Republican party is not very popular right now. On the other hand, McCain is pretty moderate, so that would benefit the party a lot. McCain could point Obama out as being too liberal, while Obama could criticize the Iraq war issue. However bad this might sound, McCain will probably play up the P.O.W. thing too (I'm not saying it's wrong for him to talk about, that was a very hard and noble experience for him).
Well, I think that diagreements between presidential candiates are inevitable, especially between a Democratic and a Republican. I mean, it would be weird if their weren't any diagreements, because that's whats politics is all about. Anyway, I understand why McCain is upset at Ed Schultz, but it's stupid of him to make such a big deal about it in public. He's just bringing a negative image to himself when he starts criticizing others and playing the blame game. It's really not helping his campaign, but it's fine with me because I want Obama to win. And to answer Kamon's question, I think Obama will win the nomination and then win the election.
The reason the Republican party is succesful is because they stick together. McCain is not very popular with the very conservative, but they will still show up to vote for him. The same cannot be said of the Democrats. Last I heard, Obama was leading in national hypothetical polls vs McCain but that info may be out of date.
I agree with Justin, but I would also like to refer to Obama getting upset at the radio guy. It is his middle name, and if it sparks people to think differently about him, well guess what buddy you are running to be the president of the United States and are getting mad at people for saying your name. I don't care what the president's name is, probably would not vote for a Hitler though unless he/she was a great canidate, but besides that it just seems like he is trying to keep one aspect of his life so unknown that I am sure there are tons more to be exposed that he has kept undercover to!
oh those silly republicans. i agree with paul slack. yes, there will be disagreements. and schultz is just one opinion. people are entitled to those. i think he;s being a baby about the name calling and just needs to shush. i must sadly say, same w obama. boohoo. who cares what his middle name is. worry more about the rest of your campaign. and obama will win bc i said so.
In this instance I think that McCain is just trying to discredit whoever he can get his hands on becuase someone gave him some bad press. It is clear that Obama had nothing to do with the word choice and so it seems outragious that McCain would try and put blame on him. In my mind this move makes McCain look desperate and stupid, but thats just my opinion.
On the topic of who will win, I have to say Obama. this may or may not be a biased opinion but i think that the country as a whole has had enough of republicans and enough of the war. I think the country is ready for change at this point so my guess is that Obama will take the presidency.
I wonder if Mr. Silton were very for Clinton, or even McCain, if that would curb our class away from Obama. I feel like if I had to vote right now, I would be voting based on different characteristics or values than what policies will be affecting me most.
