Former or not, they were McCain’s staff at the time, so that’s where the responsibility lies.

There are 4 Republicans running for the McLame seat.

And 2 Democrats. The Dem is an incumbent US Representative from Az District 1.

I’m not sure whatever happened to Mr. Gabrielle Giffords (aka “Commander Mark”) The media had him tabbed as the likely future Democrat winner for the AZ Senate.

The only time McCain “reaches across the isle” to conservatives is when he has a re-election coming up.

After he wins, he goes back to “maverick” status.

When will the voters of that state ever wake up? Or do they just not care? He must hand out buyouts to his constituents like candy.

I think you are right in your translation. McCain, though, has apparently been unaware of the honorable way Palin has acted toward him. His heart is darkened to believe that she *might* turn on him, because he would do so to her (actually *did* through his surrogates.)

His wife owns the Anheuser-Busch distributor for AZ.

Maybe he gives out free beer?

I agree with that. Had McCain been a leader, he would have had control of his own campaign, instead of the party henchmen. McCain was not the top choice of voters; neither was Romney.

Just as important to remember, these Romney snakes are still out there, year after year, infesting other campaigns. Romney himself came back out of obscurity this year to agitate against the will of the voters. Snakes.

He wouldn’t even let her speak to thank her supporters at his concession. She just stood there.

Must be an election year, with CNN carrying water for their favorite Republican.

Well I hope you do more than get his attention. Send him out to graze on cactus and sage brush.

“Yes, the entire media campaign against Sarah Palin was engineered by the “assistants” that McCain gave her and insisted that she should obey. They worked very hard to defeat her, apparently with McCain’s blessing.”

Then, Juan McAinal abandoned Sarah to be savaged by his buddies, the left wing mediots and never defended her.

He did the same to Sarah, which many in the prison camps of Nam said he did to them!

And the thing is, Sarah "went Donald" before DJT did! Juan's GOPe handlers were aghast and said "this must not be!" Imagine if Sarah was allowed to be Sarah. There would be no Øbama.

I truly hope Trump makes her Veep. Damaged goods, my lily white arse. What a team they would make.
