McCain's not the greatest campaigner in the world, that's a fact. I thought his speech at the biker rally in Sturgis, SD was beyond pandering and ridiculousness, it was just plain pathetic and embarrassing. But I don't vote for a President based on how he gives speeches; I vote based on a person's track record of service to his country. Obama has been quite loyal to the Chicago radicals that put him in office in Illinois, and beyond that there is nothing else to him but fluff and blind faith.

Ummm... You DO realize that electric cars are powered by batteries, right? What are you planning to do with all those batteries when they're dead? They're toxic waste, right up there with fluorescent lightbulbs - only much, much larger.

Fermi was a partial meltdown in 1966. That's what we in America like to call OVER FORTY YEARS AGO.

McCain's speech supported modern nuclear power plants built with 21st Century technology. Perhaps using that location allowed McCain to draw that distinction and it was certainly relevant.

I am highly amused by this, I mean, how crackpot does your city council have to be when the locals are attempting to elect a downright Anarchist to it ?

Sickdude, I've found from living here that Michiganders as a whole, in spite of being more a blue state, are a fairly conservative bunch and tend to hold a grudge about serious screwups like that - especially since the UAW, which holds this state in claws of iron, didn't want the damn thing here to begin with.

Ergo, the locals ANYWHERE near Detroit would be kind of iffy about something like this, you'd have to go much further north if you wanted to get any interest in a proposal of this nature, and to give such a speech right where it nearly went south would evidence a total ignorance of just how LONG your typical Michigander can hold a grudge like that.

It was a really bad idea politically for him to make that speech there, and he shoulda known that, doesn't he have flunkies supposed to tell him shit like this ?

Interesting that you feel no qualms about mocking and insulting someone you know pretty much nothing about. I've noticed that this is pretty much standard for the left/liberals on this forum. There's you, and then there's the "other", who can be ignored or mistreated because if they're not you, they are expendable.
