WASHINGTON (CNN) - Former Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has no illusions about the 2008 White House race.
"God bless them," McCain said Thursday at the Heritage Foundation when reminded of the tens of millions of people who voted for him last year.
"Over 50 million people voted for me and Sarah Palin - mostly for Sarah Palin," McCain said to an eruption of laughter. But "there was a sizable majority of the other party returned to Congress. And, elections have consequences. Elections have consequences. And these consequences we are seeing now in full display."

He thinks he was making a joke- but truer words were never spoken by a politician.
No Shit, Sherlock!
*raises hand*
I was one of ‘em.

It’s funny ‘cause it’s true
2 votes for Sarah here, including Mrs. Joe. Who could not, otherwise be bothered to vote in 5 previous presidetials.
I told her she couldn’t complain if she didn’t vote. Now I’m getting it with both barrels.
But, hey, there goes a another conservative convert.
make that 2..
People voted ‘mostly for Sarah Palin’ last year.
Boy, John!....nothing gets by you!
“elections have consequences.”
Here were the consequences:
GOP won - DNC yelled louder and GOP did nothing.
NDC won - GOP rolled over and did nothing.
I voted for him because I was stuck and had no other choice...Palin..eh..

McCain is such a bastard. The way he handled the whole candiacy of Palin made the Republican party look like a bunch of hypocrites. He sure made the Republicans swallow a lot. Now he comes out with this? It figures. The man can do no right. I have a feeling he didn’t know about Bristol’s pregnancy. And then he makes a laughing stock out of the Republicans with that phony story the kids were going to get married and therefore anyone with an opinion that maybe this wasn’t a good idea to put on national stage with the party of family values, those people were demonized. Thanks John McCain. I love the decision to arrogantly decided too to dress up Palin with all the campaign donations. McCain was a real creep. He did plenty to cause the Republican Party trouble for years to come. All because he is a sore loser to Bush. He should be voted out of office!
Hopefully, the next time that happens, McCain will finally come out of the closet and admit to being a Democrat saboteur.
The sad part is that he thought it was a joke - and that the crowd was laughing at the “joke” and not at him.
Mostly = everyone but his immediate family
“Over 50 million people voted for me and Sarah Palin - mostly for Sarah Palin”
Well, DUH!!!!! Are you just now figuring that out? LOL!
I can’t wait for 2012, when Sarah will unseat the Marxist!
Senator, I must agree with you.
She was pretty much the only reason I voted for the ticket. That, and to stop Obama of course.
We should remember, though, that with a very organized base, fatigue with the war, an economic crisis and a media hell-bent on supporting him, Obama only managed 52.7% of the vote. And the primary race went on for months, with relatively few obama wins after the Rev. Wright revelations.
Obama is not invincible. Many Democrat seats are vulnerable, especially after anothe 18 months of Obama.
We just need to organize and get our message out there. And stop the massive voter fraud, if we can.
Changing things is anything but impossible.
ain’t that the truth. talk about boring
Who would set him up? This is all getting too weird for me.
Without firing shot Obama destroys United States of America. I am telling you it hurts me as my ancestry goes way back in this country.
