RUSH: Look, I don't want to spend a whole lot of time on the McCain campaign because it's the past. I got some e-mails and Mr. Snerdley said, "Is that all you're going to say about it, that it just proves the ineptitude of the McCain campaign?" I'll say a little bit more but it's the past. The thing about McCain that's more interesting to me than he lost is what I'm hearing from a lot of people, and that is, you know, the Democrats in the Senate right now are happy. They have 58 or 59 seats. Depending on what happens in the finals of the Stuart Smalley/Norm Coleman race, they can have 58 or 59 seats. Everybody says, "Well, whew! Whew! Boy, that means they don't have their 60 votes." Au contraire. You know who's going to get the 60 votes for Obama in the Senate? Do you know who's going to get the 60 votes for Harry Reid?
It will be John McCain. John McCain does not want his legacy to be that he lost the presidential race. He wants his legacy to be that he's a deal-maker. He wants his legacy to be that he walked across the aisle, that he's bipartisan, that he's bigger than life, blah, blah, blah. So I guarantee you, McCain will be the guy that shepherds wayward, liberal, Northeastern Republicans to vote with Democrats on some issues, some bills, in order to give the Democrats their filibuster-proof majority of 60 or more votes. Now, that's in the cards. I don't think there's any question about it. It's exactly who McCain is, and that's why he lost! Most Republicans perceived McCain as a Democrat. When you get right down to it, that's how he was viewed.
I knew quite a few rabid McCain supporters during the primary and the general election.
They are all very, very quiet right now.
Can any McCain supporter still defend this idiot?
John McCain lost the presidential race all by his little self. No amount of dumping on Sarah or Rush can change the facts.
Yeah. It’s Rush’s fault that they sucked.
So now we know McCain’s campaign manager was an idiot as well. Illuminating.
