Forbes endorsement of McCain, along with all of the other high profile endorsements for McCain, undoubtedly was generated by a favor owed, or a future favor expected. McCain has, after all, run for president before and remained a senator after his defeat. He has been in a position of power in the senate for some years and had enough control to get the McCain Feingold bill passed along with other significant legislation. He has attacked and knifed Pres Bush with impunity and now expects loyalty for himself if he is elected to replace him. The endorsements rolling in for McCain are not spur of the moment. Much has been going on in planning his run and this is a part of it. The one thing we can garner from some of these supporters is that we did not know them as well as we thought we did. I start with Guiliani, who I thought was sincere in his run but looking back it seems I was snookered big time. He was merely playing his part, leading up to the Florida primaries. I cannot wait for the books to come out when this is all over telling how this whole McCain presidential campaign was set up.
