“One thing I think we should really give Governor Romney credit for: he is consistent,’’ McCain told voters. “He has consistently taken both sides of any major issue. He has consistently flip-flopped on every issue.’’
~~~ When Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy less than three weeks later, Romney was among a small group of advisers McCain gathered at a New York hotel. The former financier’s explanation of the risks of such failures helped inspire McCain to buck congressional Republicans and support bailing out the financial-services sector, according to McCain adviser Mark Salter.
~~~ McCain was harder on opponent Romney than he was on Obama.
McCain could have won had he stuck to tax cuts, and damned the rush to spend trillions as a bunch of Big Government Chicken Littles who'd caused it in the first place.
The two of them are closer to Obama regarding economic issues than they would feel comfortable admitting.
The two of them sniped at--and no doubt send surrogates to snipe at--Sarah Palin.
McCain's immigration madness cost the party its triple-grip on power.
Romney hip-hops more than the Energizer Rabbit--and would have a "public option", too.
Together they exemplify Dead Pols Walking.
