McCain to Palin: Ehhh ...
John McCain apparently thinks that the only promotion Sarah Palin deserves is to vice president, not commander-in-chief. In an interview with ABC News, McCain said he "can't" endorse the Alaska governor for a 2012 presidential bid.
Shocker.
When George Stephanopoulos asked the defeated Republican nominee if he would endorse his one-time running mate, McCain quivered, "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors." Then he mentioned Republican governors Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Utah's Jon Huntsman. In case you don't remember Pawlenty, he was the guy lots of people thought McCain should pick for VP.
Apparently picking up on the strange non-endorsement, Stephanopoulos asked why the woman he said just a couple months ago could run the country if she had to now isn't qualified for the job. In typical maverick fashion, McCain joked himself out of the gotcha question.
"Have no doubt for my admiration and respect for her and my view of her viability," McCain said. "But at this stage, my corpse is still warm."
Boy, I bet that line made Cindy McCain feel all warm inside.

When has ever McCain been right. If he isn't afflicted with PTSD, then he's confused. He lost the electyioon,. not Sarah Palin. McCain et al in Congress, bringing about, by inattentiveness and callousness the financial debacle we are in and shooed in a new unpredictable future.

The truth comes out about McCain, this guy was playing the conservatives for suckers. This is why alot of them stayed home. The Republicans screwed themselves by have Rommey and Hucklebee going after the same votes. If one of these guys would be the guy running he would have cleaned up. McCain thought he could screw the conservatives and hope they would vote for him because they had no where to go, guess what they did, stay home. Rommey would have been just the right person, he could talk circles around Obama, this 3 year wonder boy being controlled by elite white thugs from Chi town, the truth will drip out over the next few months, another NIXON in the making.

The last thing I heard was McCain was picking Tim Pawlenty as his VP before he made the dumbest choice of his life. While I had never heard of Pawlenty, but I heard some good things about him. I hope their next choice for president and VP is smarter than this choice was. While McCain is a hero, I did not see one redeeming quality during this election.

Come on, McCain did not pick Palin for VP. He got scared because he was falling behind and allowed the GOP machine to take over. They figured the ultra conservative Palin would balance out McCain's liberalism. What they didn't realize was her total lack of brain cells. Although I never would have voted for McCain, he would not have lost by an electoral landslide if he had picked anyone else.

McCain cannot support anybody this early, regardless of how he feels. It was a loaded question, and McCain gave the only answer he could. The media has "tagged" it as an anti-Palin remark, which it certainly is not. It is simply another attempt by some in the media to demean Sarah Palin.

"True American", well that apparently couldn't be farther from the truth.
And the other doucher up there, rerichards, if McCain would have not picked Palin he would have lost by many more millions of votes. She was the only reason he didn't get his entire old ass kicked in the election. How bout talk about something you have a clue about next time? It would make for a slightly more enjoyable time for the reader.

McCain had a good thought about picking Palin,
yet it did not go. I really would have liked to
see Romney run. I knew that if he had been running
against Obama, the debts would have been turned out
different as Romney is a GREAT speaker.
He has everything that is needed to become a President
of this Great United States of America. His dad was
a man that did teach his son good qualities.
Anyway now we will see what this country is
going to go through for the next 4 years.
God Bless America~

I always had the feeling that Palin wasn't McCains choice. It was more like "We have to get a conservative to appease the right; a woman for the Hillary crowd; and a Washington outsider for everybody that's pee'od at the republicans." Unfortunately, they forgot to get someone with a brain.

McCain or the liberal republicans who took over the party chose Palin because the money dried up .No contributions for McCain finegold , no contributions for McCain Kennedy,no contributions for attacking the N.R.A. and gun shows. He went and made nice with the N.R.A. but not many were fooled. With out Palin the voters who did vote for him hoping he would win then die an old media made war hero. and Sarah would be President. She does not need McCain to be 2012 candidate. JUst because a bunch of really stupid media types and liberals call her stupid does not discourage the people who share her values . They always called Reagon stupid to. In fact the visousnes of the attacks against her show how much they fear her.She does not need the Republicans either.

The republicans are morons for not runing with Romney. He would be eating this Wall Street disaster alive if elected. If you are smart you'll start considering him already for the next round.The guy is a genius! Just wait until your president-elect clown runs thru his first hundred days. Its halarious listening to his economic plan - same as the one in the 1930,s. Rebuild the infrastructure in the US. Where is the money coming from? Just keep printing more!
