Clearly, Sarah’s support is reciprocity for McCain’s having tapped her for VP and elevating her to the national stage. She’s in a tough spot here and I don’t envy her or hold it against her. I would hope, however, that her appearances for him would be as luke-warm as the McCain staff attacks on her during and after the campaign were vicious.
Brown is a similar but less intense situation. I would hope that Brown would see that McCain’s coming in to help him in Mass. was McCain’s having read the pre-election polls and saw that Brown reoresented a sea-change there from which he, McCain, could later profit — by indebting Brown to later help in the AZ race.

That is PRECISELY what Snake McCain figured.
