NewsMax has rendered a public service by putting this out now. To me it is amazing to find out that a nominee is not liked by colleagues, but that was true of both Gore and Kerry. I have seen McCain acting out in senate hearings. He denounced global warming critics as disgraceful and was threatening a young woman testifying on Abramhoff matters. both seemed way over the line to me. I think he forgets that he graduated next to last in his class at Annapolis when he is intolerant of others' views.
There is a good reason why Senators are rarely elected to the Presidency. (Kennedy was an anomaly, not having served all that long.) Their egos are monstruous. They hate each other. They think the American people are boobs. And their general nastiness cannot be hidden. Thus, if this nation wants to commit suicide, just have Hillary Clinton oppose John McCain in 2008.
