McCain came out for the draft today.  As I said over at the Orange Place, if this story goes big, this election is over.

As I also pointed out there, McCain has put the gun to his head.  Obama's got to pull the trigger, and pull it now.

There's your national narrative: Warmonger.  Nutcase.

Put the video in an ad, and run it in every suburb in the country.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to you country.

   He is waiting for Biden. Then its going to get nasty. I am so ready to go on the attack against the Republican party. Sometimes I bite my tongue just to taste blood.

   We need an attack dog. Biden will fill that void. Obama barely made it out of the primaries with his above the fray campaign. I personally think its going to be Tim Kaine. But I truly hope Biden is the choice he will fight. The Dems can't afford another Edwards type as a running mate, all smiles and wondering if his girlfriend is right about him being Ghandi's wandering soul.
   I want to win we have to win. This is no joke.

McCain like war too much. What is he going to do with the draftees? Rebuild a decimated military (cause it is ya know) Then what? War with whom? Or whomever!

I'm not against some for of universal national service for young people,but a) you have to pay for it (TAXES) and b) the focus should be on national service (not international military incursions)

Obama's reaction to McCain attack ads seems eerily similar to Kerry's. He has got to take the gloves off and begin pointing out the obvious. (like the real cause of economic catastrophe.)

We need to push for Progressive change, now more than ever.

McWar, but then he'll forget and deny he endorses the Draft.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
