I ain't against nuclear power per-se, long as you have a hardass like Hyman Rickover in charge of things....
But making a speech glorifying nuclear power from a site that might have been ground zero had things gone any further south is about as politically STUPID a move as possible.
McCain’s Michigan melt-down madness

You know your speech isn't going well when the crowd is looking at you like you've lost your mind, and uttering stuff like "is he serious?!" or "does he have any clue ?!" to each other.
What's next, making this speech from three mile island ? the ruins of chernobyl ?
If he doesn't have the sense to connect his speeches to the relevance of the audience, he damned sure ain't got the sense to be president.
Clinton was slime, but it was his dick that got him in trouble, not his mouth... I wonder if we could make having your tongue cut out a requirement for the presidency, cause the past eight years we'd have done much better if the damn prez would just SHUT THE FUCK UP.
And apparently McCain ain't no better, that man needs to learn when to shut the hell up, too.
Idiot.

What's more difficult to believe, Geezer? That people in the crowd made those comments to each other or that they were awake during the speech? Probably the latter, since this is what McCain's audiences usually look like:

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.

I'd just like to know what actually happened, not what is more convenient to your beliefs/prejudices.
Fremd is quoting editorial content, not news, and adding his own comment to it. I'd like to see him back up is assertion.

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'd suggest he give a similar speech at Three Mile Island. That plant was built in 1968, suffered a horrible accident in 1979 and has been safely generating vitally needed electricity for Central PA since 1985.

Ok, so McCain is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. He panders to the crowd and pushes what is a Republican agenda.
Hes a politician.
Whats new?
I find myself unable to vote for either of the "big" 2.
Obama is not qualified. McCain is more of the same.
(Also, I will NOT vote for someone just because the liberals believe it will soothe their misplaced guilt and "lift" another people. Its never worked before now, and it never WILL work. I have no desire to give away the highest office in the country based on misguided feelings or "reperations".)
So whats left?
