5 Things John McCain Must Do to Win the Election

Your style is great, you're funny and I think you use just enough words, not too many. I like restraint in a writer because it reflects a commitment to process and craft.

I haven't heard the "blink more" thing before and that made me laugh, but the other points feel recycled. Perhaps others who have said the pig/lipstick thing and the stop aging thing were not as good at constructing a point as you are, but I feel like the skill you're displaying hints at the ability to produce fresher, more insightful humor. It's not fair to you, actually, that I'm reading this after watching McCain and Obama skewer each other with humor and Obama's writers had age jokes and economic crisis jokes prepared for him.

I think you're a victim of your own talent because your ability to write humor seems to raise my expectations for what you could write.

Very topical subject that mixes humor and makes a couple of serious points. It is well written and flows pretty easily.

Unfortunately I must be contrary here today and vote negative. Am I an Obama supporter? Nope - I can't vote as I'm a 'legal immigrant'.

Unfortunately I feel that this isn't up to your usual standard - it is funny at times and it makes a point or two, but it isn't as cutting as previous works of yours. A couple of the points were just 'plain' and aside from a laugh or two, the humor didn't quite do it for me today.

I felt, after reading your previous work, that this was too succinct. You tried to make a point, and this can be done in a short article, but as I said, it was too short to be 'cutting' for me.

It's also not that original - I've heard hundreds of people say exactly the same about 'sex appeal' and also about the potential VP.

One real problem I had was that you started out very seriously and engaged me - then you went all 'silly' on me and I really got confused as I thought I was going to get a fully 'engaging' political piece.

While I found this OK I didn't find it super funny. It kinda hovered between being a very serious article and a funny article and just didn't meld the way it should.

I was hoping for a very serious piece that would draw parallelles between the McCain and the Obama campaigns....sorry!

Downright funny. Full of youthful insight, this pretty much secures you a place as one of the most humorous people I've read. Near perfect as it comes to technical issues; I read this straight through without looking back on mistakes that could've been avoided.

Only five reasons? I expected ten like your last article.

Great job. Keep up the good work.

Very good points there. Especially number five. And two, for that matter. Who wants a damn geezer for pres?

Great writing, as usual.
As great as your pieces always are, I usually have little to say here...
You know what good stuff you're doing.

Very enjoyable.

You forgot to mention that sob-stories are not legitimate answers to questions. And that opening statements aren't thank-you speeches.

Great stuff. What else to say?

I'd do Palin.
