An excerpt from a recent profile of John McCain in the New Yorker--quoting the Senator:
When people are in close races, I am the first Republican who is asked to come and appear for that person. I am the most sought-after of all Republicans. In this last campaign, I was the one asked by the President to travel and campaign with him.... When you look at the rank and file of ordinary Republicans, I'm extremely popular--it's some of the party apparatchiks who still harbor bad feelings toward me. But it is a little hard for them to do that now, because of my strong support for Bush....Particularly since the 2004 campaign, there has been a great softening of dislike for me.

McCain's stay in the Hanoi Hilton had some lasting effects on his sense of reality, but this is typical of many that live in the LOGIC-FREE ZONE (Washington, DC). Truly a text book RINO, McCain is frothing at the mouth over pursuit of the Presidential nomination. Expect anything from this chameleon.

John, John, get ahold of yourself. You're delusional.

Unfortunately he will have the support of Sanford and Graham.He will get crushed in the 3rd and 4th districts but he will do O.K in the rest of the state.

Thank you for posting this to a separate thread. McCain is a small man in every way with a huge ego. His grasp exceeds his abilities.
