		<description>&lt;p&gt;Actually, McCain’s grandfather was an Admiral in WWII.  His father, a decorated WWII submarine commander, was an Admiral in the Pacific during Vietnam.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He must have been counting on the FEC being stacked&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s the problem with DIABOLICAL PLANS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they don’t always work&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;guess mccain never watched Mcguyver&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;leave mccain alone&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he’s out SPLAININ THAT 100 YEARS comment right now&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;turns out that mccain was for 100 years of war before he was against it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;besides, the war will be over soon anyway&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;who ya gonna believe, a KNOWN LIAR, or your lying eyes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this guy is comic gold&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;he’s so repuglitarded that he can’t remember what he said yesterday&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;first he gets angry and says something stupid&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;then he’s confronted with his own words and he gets a “Stunned Stoooopid” look&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;against mccain, we could win if Jimmy Traficant was our nominee&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’m not sure why McCain has put himself in this position with the FEC. I’m sure his wealthy friends would set up a couple of handy 527s to fling mud at the Dems. The pundits onFaux news and the Noise Machine will find pretexts to invite him on and willcampaign for him. He must have been counting on the FEC being stacked.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I think you could litigate it in several state courts.  After all, the question of who is on the ballot is a state issue, governed by the laws of states, their courts, and the Secretary of State.  In this sense, a State Supreme Court could be asked, for the purposes of a ballot in their state, whether McCain meets the “natural born citizen” qualification.  Now doing that in several states on the Republican Electorial Map could be interesting.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, no, I do not think the matter has been litigated relative to a presidential contest, ever. My suspicion is that candidates whose compliance with the provision would be viewed as dubious get weeded out well in advance of a nomination.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gov. George W. Romney, 1968 candidate, was born in Mexico.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
