ST. PAUL — John Scates, a GOP delegate from Berkeley in St. Louis County, talks from the convention floor last night about why he supports John McCain.

I think this demonstrates a good reason for newspapers to stick to print.
Ouch!! Adam, did you really go to the RNC with the intention of doing video interviews?
The video you did at the DNC contained quality audio. What happened?
I agree that Senator Mccain has learned valuable lessons by serving in the military. The fact that he survived a POW camp is worthy of respect. These two facts do NOT rate very high for him to be President. Thousands of other men endured the exact same thing if not worse. There have been plenty of opportunities for the Republican party to lift up the cause of Viet Nam vets. I don’t remember any heavy lifting on their part to remedy the past ill treatment of the troops returning from that war. Where was this delegate in 2000 when Senator McCain wanted to be president? The Republicans rallied behind George Bush. Senator McCain had the exact same “test of steel and fire” back then, or did he not?
observer:
All part of the long held policy of the Post to make the Democrats look better than the GOP.
Adam is just trying to get a full time job that’s all.
AND NOT ALL “WHITES” SUPPORT MCCAIN. (LOL)?
Sure, not all blacks are for Obama. But I watched the RNC convention and it was a sea of pasty white. The percentage of blacks not supporting the GOP ticket is huge. Im not saying they are all backing Obama either, but he does have a much higher percentage , that is for sure. I myself am not totally impressed with Obama, but he is a lot better than the ” were better than the rest of you” attitude of the GOP pick and their supporters. War, Oil, and coddling the wealthy, verses economy, education and including all Americans rich, poor, and everyone in between. I dont know, who would you think is for America?
Very, very bad news for John McCain. He’s lost a prominent endorsement.

I hearby dub thee Captain Obvious .
I must admit,
that’s the 1st sensible comment you’ve ever made.
Just goes to show that blacks are racists too. Fortunately some are able to think for themselves and vote GOP.
I wonder how he felt to be 1 of only 36 black delegates for the GOP? I’m horrified by the lack of diversity.
I know this gentleman. He is a great guy.
Sure, not all African-Americans are Democrats. Nor, do they all support Obama. However, after watching the RNC, it does seem like the African American Republican is a bit like finding a four-leaf clover.
