> I think McCain will still hold a grudge about Mike Reagan for what happened 8 years ago! <
I also remember that phone call. McCain was riding in a car, I believe somewhere in Virginia during the primary — the same Virginia primary campaign during which McCain so blatantly dissed Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
I rarely listened to Mike in those days, but I happened by chance to be tuned in that night. As I recall, Mike said just before the call that he was giving serious consideration to supporting McCain. Even said some nice things about him.
When McCain came on the phone, Mike asked him a legitimate policy question. McCain immediately exploded and refused to answer. I think it was McCain who hung up without so much as a parting word — rather than Mike’s having cut him off.
IMO McCain is insane. No much more needs to be said.
That was the day that I became convinced that McCain was nuts. I also remember the phone call with Mike...and I remember I kept thinking what balls he had to complain about Bush after the push polling and negative phone campaign he ran in MI against Bush claiming that W hated Catholics. I have 4 sisters living in MI and they all got those calls.

Glad you posted that...i heard it also....McCain hung up.
