(CNN) — Did John McCain snub Sarah Palin during an appearance Mcnday on NBC's The Tonight Show?

That's what some pro-Palin bloggers and other political observers claim after the former GOP presidential candidate left out his former running mate when naming five governors who he thought were in position to lead the Republican Party.

"We have, I'm happy to say, a lot of voices out there," McCain told host Jay Leno before listing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Utah Gov. Jim Huntsman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

"There are a lot of governors out there who are young and dynamic," said the Arizona senator.

McCain then quickly joked, "I've left out somebody's name and I'm going to hear about it."

I wish daddy McCain and daughter would shut up !!

[Mr. K]

SHUT UP McLAME!!! JUST SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP !!!!!!!

DON’T MESS UP THE ONE AND ONLY CORRECT THING YOU DID DURING THIS CAMPAIGN (PICK PALIN)

[TornadoAlley3]

It is McCain, who cares what he says and who is surprised, ignore the RINO.

"We have, I'm happy to say, a lot of voices out there," McCain told host Jay Leno before listing Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Utah Gov. Jim Huntsman, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.

Two confirmed RINOs and several questionable politicians. What, McCain can't mention any real conservatives?

[Carley]

Do we care what McCain or his nutjob twit of a daughter have to say about anything?

[Scotswife]

He doesn’t want to face the fact that was the only thing he did right.

He still wants to believe his staffers when they tell him she - and the nice clothes they bought for her - were the cause of the loss.

[detective]

The only Republicans who are allowed on the MSM news shows and talk shows seem to be John McCain and his daughter. Everyone else is just ridiculed and ignored.

McCain is proving WHY he lost the election. He is a lifer of the establishment. His use of Palin to win the election and then this rotten behavior since shows why he is no better than the rest of the liberal losers we are fighting to keep our country from.

Hey, McCain, if you or any of your staff are lurking:

You're a pr!ck. A washed-up, over the hill, burned out, has-been, old pr!ck.

You can't change it, either. That's what you will be until the last day of your self-centered, vindictive excuse for a life.

McCain then quickly joked, "I've left out somebody's name and I'm going to hear about it."

The snarky comment speaks for itself, as well as his sneering attitude when he said it.

[Arthur McGowan]

Jhn McCain does a good imitation of humility at times. He can do self-deprecating humor superbly. Compare him with Obama, who can’t even fake humility. Their side-by-side performances at the Al Smith dinner—Obama was painful to watch.

And McCain feigned humility nicely during the campaign—even acknowledging humbly that Sarah had brought most of the excitement to the campaign.

But I posted several times during the campaign that McCain HATES Palin. And I was excoriated for it.

But I am still convinced.

[Oldpuppymax]

It’s typical of someone like McCain to show contempt for anyone who outshines him on the public stage. I don’t remember a more vindictive, classless “republican”.

[NordP]

NEWS FLASH: PALIN HAS A BRIGHT POLITICAL FUTURE....McCAIN DOES NOT

[FoxPro]

Ping it.

McCain then quickly joked, "I've left out somebody's name and I'm going to hear about it."

The snarky comment speaks for itself, as well as his sneering attitude when he said it.

Sounds like he did this on purpose, and for the effect he wanted.

SOB.

[reagan_fanatic]

I’m really sorry I pulled the lever for this asshat.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

If you watch the video and hear the comment as he said it, it is clear that he did it to get a cheap laugh from the lib audience.

[exit82]

Looking at the blog comments—it is apparent the great job the media has done in molding opinion of Sarah Palin.

These people are delusional.
