I don’t think they see him as a white Obama. They see him as a controllable, get-along moderate who will spit out whatever lines the insiders want him to say to help him get elected. He’s the consummate insider candidate.
So basically they see him as another McCain, the same McCain that goes on TV and praises Obama and says he has no issue meeting with him to discuss whatever the heck they will be discussing. Gee, another McCain, I wonder how that is gonna work out..All I see is where are all of the candidates who Sarah Palin supported in the November election, ya know, the ones that she busted her ass for and donated money to to get elected, where are they now, why aren’t they stepping up and defending her..not a peep from any of them..sad isn’t it
