McCain unsure if he'd support Palin for president Posted: 01:59 PM ET
Sen. John McCain says he may not necessary support Gov. Sarah Palin if she she runs in 2012
CNN) – Sen. John McCain said Sunday he would not necessarily support his former running mate if she chose to run for president.
Speaking to ABC's "This Week," McCain was asked whether Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin could count on his support. "I can't say something like that. We've got some great other young governors. I think you're going to see the governors assume a greater leadership role in our Republican Party," he said, citing Governors Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota and Jon Huntsman of Utah.
McCain said he has "the greatest appreciation for Governor Palin and her family, and it was a great joy to know them. She invigorated our campaign" against Barack Obama for the presidency.
Pressed on why he can't promise support for the woman who, just months ago, he named as the second best person to lead the nation, McCain responded that "now we're in a whole election cycle. Have no doubt of my admiration and respect for her and my view of her viability, but at this stage, again … my corpse is still warm, you know?"

And if he helps to shake her loose of her unwavering support of him that wouldn’t be such a bad thing either.
Just...wow. What a jerk.
Part of me is glad he didn’t win.
It’s difficult to even have respect for this idiot for his service in Vietnam anymore. His campaign was only given a pulse after Palin joined him. Without her, 30% is all he would’ve gotten, if that. McLame is a pathetic excuse for a human being. Plain and simple.
Actually, his not endorsing her might help her more than hurt her. He’s like all the RINOs, the opposite of King Midas. Everything they touch turns to crap, not gold.
In other words, he used her and discarded her, just like he did with his first wife. What an #@#!@hole...
He should do what some of the Japanese generals after losing the last battles of WWII.
After that lousy campaign McCain is harldy going to be the kingmaker of the GOP. Did anyone hear from Robert Dole after 1996?

STOP the interviews. We’ve heard enough. We know you don’t like us and what we stand for.
Right - he’s supporting Obama but not Palin ... this guy is a total looser creep arrrrggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
She saved it from becoming a 50 state route!
What his second wife sees in him is beyond my understanding.
Piss poor in the primaries.
Piss poor as a candidate. [Disclaimer: I voted for him.*]
Piss poor as a warm corpse.
* But ONLY because he was way the lesser of two evils.
I’ll paint a picture for ya
It looks like this
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
He would support Hussein just like he’s doing right now.
Sarah is the reason you received 57 million votes instead of 5 million.
So please shut up, and stay in Arizona you damn idiot.
Alright McCain you just go right ahead and vote for Obama in 2012 you JERK!
I voted for Sarah. McLame is a fading memeory.
Don’t go away mad John. Just go away.
