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."

I think he said it to be funny, not because he realizes the reverberating truth contained therein. If Susan Collins or Olympia Snowe had been the running mate, he would’ve made the exact same comment.
Good for him. At least he admits it.
The first republican I ever voted for was in 2009 and her name was Sarah Palin.......
It was an attempt at humor.
McCain doesn’t realize how his “humor” was...
Lets try this again, but this time leave McCain out of it.
He was just looking for a cheap laugh.
I know I did.
QUOTE OF THE CAMPAIGN !
Suits me to a "P" !
Palin Vote here... BTW Who is McCain I thought he was a lifelong Rat!
The election has been over for more than four months and McCain is just now figuring this out????? How in the world did he get the nomination in the first place?????????
McCain could have made one comment that would have changed everything. Hey, I had to show my BC,,,,, where is yours?
And his vote total would have dropped at least 5%.
Who was Sarah’s running mate again?
Joe the Plumber.
I’m going to give McCain his due here. He is acknowledging the truth.
Virtually every selected presidential candidate of the two party campaign, after Reagan, is a front for a colluding (conspiratorial?)cabal. Just like Julia Roberts is a front (pawn) for Hollywood producers.
This is obviously a fact for Barack Obama. He has no special talent or intelligence other than a prolific mouth, and black skin to cash in on white guilt.
But he is not the primary enemy, and it is a mistake to divert and single him out. Sites that act as such are totally naive. Things are much much more sinister. (sinistra = Left).
Witness illegal immigration and anthropogenic global warming. We are not dealing with dumb people here. They KNOW how to manipulate sheep.
He’s making the comment after the election. He’s making it for a cheap laugh. He *still* doesn’t appreciate that the only reason he got that many votes was because of her. As somebody else said, most of those that turned out and voted for the ticket wouldn’t have crossed the street to shake his hand.
It was his crack at self-deprecating humor, but he has no clue. Doesn’t now and never did. Palin wasted herself on him.
It would have been racist to win an election against a black man.
