McCain will not win the election in November, the climate of political termoil is against him for one. He is a very old man, the stress alone will kill him. This is the roughest ride in political history, famine, oil prices, recession, economic melt down. The prospect that the world will end in 2012

Daphne Kenward, Cambridge, UK

I do hope most fervently that Mrs. Clinton goes all the way. I will then be able to start every day with a smile on my face, uplifted by the thought of WJC slinking about the White House for another four or eight years. Let the next comic opera begin!

Mark Fowler, Poznan, Poland

At this rate the Democrats are going to throw everything away! They should know that they are in a team game and it's not about one person.

Mr A Johnson, London,

And a vote for McCain is bad for what reason?...

Gregory Baker, Odenton, Maryland, USA

I have always voted Democrat but like a lot of other Democrats I will vote for McCain (voting Democrat on the rest of the ticket) Either Democrat hopeful is likely to lose to McCain particularly if they keep up their warfare. Mr McCain can concentrate on the task of selecting a good running mate.

Michael, Charlottesville, Virginia

Mr Obama is the only candidate who can rescue the Democrats from oblivian. Mrs Clinton is yesterdays child and just as old as John McCain in mind if not in age. I expect to see more of the Clinton committed uncommit in the days ahead. US politics are in turmoil with Clinton still in the race.

Harriet Greenwood, Vancouver BC, Canada

I'm hoping McCain gets it... He's a maverick ( he knows his own mind ) intelligent, has given a lot for his country. And unlike his Democratic counterparts he hasn't had to resort to muck spreading. If he can control his temper he should be a very fine president,I hope he's given the chance.

Sandra Caldwell, New York City , US( previously UK)

It appears the Democrats are on course to snath defeat from the jaws of victory.

Bruce Northwood, Washington, D.C., USA

Once the Democrats get rid of the drag-on and on lady,the party will no doubt be able to take care of the old guy.At the moment McCain does not need to run,only hobble for the presidency.Senator Obama is a fresh change,who has severed connections with pastor Wright.Obama may provide a new Camelot.

Ed O'Donnell, Bideford, North Devon, United Kingdom

McCain, an old man,72 most 72 year olds are retired. He suffers from Cancer. What is this one foot in the grave going to do for any one? He suffers from fits of anger, what makes him a good candidate for most ill informed Americans, oh he was a prisoner of war, so what, war risk capture too.

Daphne Kenward, Cambridge, UK

Obama has a certain calmness about him. A Nelson Mandela quality that we are desperate for. Hillary would eat her young to get nominated. Imagine another 4 years of her screeching <shudder>

Andrew, New York, USA

Stupid yankee's ya vote for the Muslim Fanatic and screw your country and the World up even MORE

Fred, Toronto, Canada

Obama lacks wide appeal and is under-qualified. Clinton is more central than left-wing which is where I believe many voters now a day lean and she is more appealing to the republican voters who have had enough of their parties mishaps. if Obama gets the nom the dems have no chance.

Alex, london, England

It absurd to think somebody with as few policies as Mr. Obama is even close to running for president of the largest economy in the world during one of its most troubled times.

That said his nomination could speed up the global market rebalancing giving a true picture of China as America's financier

So stop the soap opera of Wright and let America discuss the things that matter to the common folk! Sen Kerry's rebuke of MSNBC was fab!

Elias, Stevenage, UK

When are sensible, moderate Democrats going to wake up to the fact that has been clear all along; to middle America Obama is simply unelectable - it is as simple as that.

Jon Quirk, Ulan Bator, Mongolia

Sadly, I feel not one of the three candidates are good for America. Given the current climate, I feel McCain will win, but that he isn't much better than either of the Democrats. Yes, I am a conservative, one of those McCain has ignored since 2000. I hope for a strong third party candidate

LewWaters, Vancouver, Wa./USA

If obama and clinton continue to destroy each other Mccain will take the cake with out any efforts

smita, Frankston, australia

Good, the sooner McCain becomes President the better.

Martin, Cambridge, UK

Tammy, you ask "what's wrong with this picture?" What's wrong is that you are woefully uninformed. Where did you hear that Obama "won't say the Pledge..."? He is a Senator and, as such, says the Pledge in the Senate and even leads it on occasion. There are videos of these amazing acts. Look them up.

Lisa, New York,

McCain is dead wrong, I hope. All the Dems need to do is trot out footage of McCain endorsing Bush on Iraq and the economy and--one can only hope--he's dead in the water. And by the way, where was McCain saying Bush's response to Katrina was "disgraceful" when the disgrace was occurring?

Keith Busby, Milwaukee, WI, USA

It is the ignorance of small minds that will deliver this country back into the hands of another G.W. Bush. " Obama won't wear an American flag pin", how many "Americans" are wearing their flag pins out on the streets in your town? By my count, almost none.
Only those trying to win something are.

M.J., Iowa, U.S.A.

I would not support Obama! How could anyone support someone who doesn't support America? How could he even be allowed to run for presidency, when he won't say " The Pledge of Allegiance" for our country? Whats wrong with this picture?

Tammy Bowman, Tullahoma, USA

Afraid Hillary Clinton has turned to a Samson like figure that is pulling down the house upon the party. In losing, there will be nothing left to win. In winning, there will be nothing left to lose.

America is going into recession deepened by Bush. Successor will be a one term damage control.

Bill Keller, BASKING RIDGE, USA/New Jersey
