Driving me nuts. Cunningham was right on the money, if anything McCain should have let it go. I am voting for him holding my nose, but this guy is trying to drive me away.

It's been a long and unpleasant process for me in realizing that, as much as I dislike the man and absolutely loathe his legislative work (Kennedy, Feingold, Lieberman), he is better than Obama or Hillary...barely. I realize that I should probably vote for him. I don't think I'm going to be classified as part of the "energized base".

But when McCain says things like this, he's driving me away too. Is he going to 'nice guy' his way through the general election like BobDole did against Hillary's spousal unit? How'd that work out for BobDole? McCain has not changed...he still craves the approval of the left and will throw his own supporters under the bus if it will get him a kudo from some liberal rag.

Yes, emphasizing the Hussein thing is probably not smart, but McCain could have, as posted elsewhere on this thread, found a way to distance himself from the remarks without a)looking like a wimp and b) hacking off supporters.

In any event, if McCain gets his clock cleaned in November, he will blame it all on conservatives and not on his 'friend', President Obama. And then 'the maverick' will become an Independent...to kudos from liberal rags!

He knows you have nowhere to go. So he can spit on you with impunity.
