I finally feel at home. I thought republicans had gone nuts during campaign. McCain had little chances of winning barring a foreign policy crisis, and had zero chance after he soiled his pants on financial bailout. Think about this: in September he tried to run on “I’m not a republican I am a reformer” , the true McCain throwing fellow republicans running for office under bus. Suppose he had got lucky and won on Ayers with a dem majority? He would be so hated by dems he would cut deals left and right to get back in favor. He would divide our party for the next decade as he puts R brand on tax hikes, amnesty, etc. McCain and democrat majority? I think not!
Now that he lost, which he had to to save our party, he will have few R friends if he tries this crap.
I couldn’t believe when people were applauding his convention acceptance speech. All I heard was, “I’m going after the crooks, and I mean Republicans!” Every negative about Washington he mentioned, he made sure to lay at the feet of his own party. The election really was between a couple of Democrats.
