And THAT attitude, that “reach-across-the-aisle-into-a-chainsaw” is why McCain lost in 2008.
In my view he lost b/c he ran a Bob Doleesque campaign. He came across as a doddery old guy who viewed himself as heir apparent. He stood for nothing and folks picked up on it. The voters of AZ seemed to disagree so we’re stuck w/ him a while longer. Perhaps they’ll be awake next voting cycle? One can only hope.
