Thank you for your reply and explanations.
imho, one should never say never....but, can’t ever see myself getting sentimental about McCain. He was definitely not on my most favorite person list.....voted for him cause Obama was, again imo, 100x worse ...and because McCain was the R candidate, we got Obama. Sarah was the only shining light for enthusiasm.
We are in complete agreement. I supported Fred Thompson, and then Mitt Romney after Fred dropped out. I supported McCain as the nominee and as the alternative to Obama — but I long ago lost my illusions about McCain. Like many with a military background, McCain tends to be socially and fiscally conservative but idiosyncratic and with a belief in government that is decidedly not conservative.
