Stockholm Syndrome.
Sorry, but I don't think so. I think this guy has a visceral hatred of his own party, with a particular distaste for Conservatives. As i mentioned, the guy is also a media whore.
You want to make excuses for this POS, you go right ahead...not me! This guy also coauthored legislation that took free speech rights away from other Americans (remember McCain-Feingold?). If you didn't mean it that way, my apologies, but i just happen to think McCain is a back-stabbing POS!
