Cafferty: Will Bush's Convention Speech Hurt or Help McCain?

From the Cafferty File:

The good news is: Hurricane Gustav spared New Orleans a direct hit. The bad news is: it freed up President Bush to appear at the Republican Convention tonight.

President Bush won't speak in person, but will address the convention by satellite from the White House. Some Republicans were actually relieved yesterday when they found out the president -- whose approval ratings are at record low levels -- wouldn't be in St. Paul because of the hurricane. They did manage to get rid of Vice President Cheney, who is on an overseas trip. But they still have Joe Lieberman and Fred Thompson on tap for tonight. All is not lost. The president's speech has been shortened, which is apparently due to Gustav and a compressed convention schedule.

It's a hard sell for McCain, who's been trying to distance himself from President Bush. The White House says the president is looking forward to thanking the Republicans for all their support and to "throw his enthusiastic support" behind McCain.

Polls show 80% of Americans think the country is on the wrong track. President Bush has been driving that train for 8 years. And John McCain has voted right along with President Bush 90% of the time.

Here's my question to you: Does President Bush's speaking to the Republican Convention help or hurt John McCain?

Hurt

[xdir]

Good for you, its a shame it took leiberman to convince you when im sure your mind was made up by McCain's record & his voting history.

One thing i did not understand, was Leiberman saying McCain fixed immigration and defeated corrupt lobbyists - McCain voted against his own immigration bill & Charles Keating funded McCain's entry into politics.

On immigration McCain put politics before country, the Keating 5 scandal was part of the S&L bank crisis that cost tax payers about $150 Billion.

John Cafferty once crapped his pants on the set... I know an electrician that was doing work in Atlanta on one of the sets, spoke to the camera guy on this show and he said that Cafferty stormed out of there one day with his pants all wet in the back and down one leg cussing...

LOL!!

The liberal media want for Obama to win. Obama's minister and spiritual lead has condemned America, and Mr. Barak Hussein Obama's wife has said that she is proud of the Country but only "for the first time" in her life. I am voting for John McCain!

[pleasebetruthful]

Obama will lose by a landslide based on his radical, racist,and communist friends and views. Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are!

OBAMA THE RADICAL,ATHEIST,RACIST!!!=LOSE­R

Michelle Obama is not proud to be an AMERICAN and the loving mother who supports INFANTICIDE!! I wonder what your children would think of you and the LOSER supporting the murder of babies.

Democrats voted 80% of the time with Bush. A 10% differene does not mean much.

Stalin actually died alone for the most part. He could or would not trust anyone anymore after a lifetime of playing a power game where death was losing. He would or could not trust his doctor or pharmacist, and had a man test his meds.

Did Stalin retire to Florida?

[expatted]

They kept the two guys that look like death warmed over, and ditched the president and veep.

Bush would just fuck it up anyway-- like everything else.
