Who's poised to lead the Republican party out of the woods? John McCain seems convinced that one GOP notable is not the person for the job, someone he's quite familiar with - his former running mate.
On Monday's "Tonight Show," Jay Leno asked the Arizona Senator to name the new guiding lights of the Republican party, and McCain was quick to rattle off a list of "young, dynamic" governors around the country.
Palin wasn't one of them.
McCain singled out Lousisana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Florida Gov. Charlie Christ, Minnesota's Tim Pawlenty, and Mitt Romney, McCain's chief rival for the Republican presidential nod in 2008.
In case anyone missed his conspicuous omission of Palin, McCain then added, "And I've left out somebody's name, and I'm gonna hear about it."

Not only did he leave Sarah Palin off that list (class, Juan, real class), he also left Mark Sanford off it. Quite intentionally, I’m sure.

Jindal and Pawlenty should be pissed that McCain gave them an endorsement. Palin should be celebrating that McCain is insulting her, it re-enforces conservatives thoughts that she would be a GREAT candidate in 2012.

Mitt Romney! There’s a new upcoming star! I don’t doubt that McCain likes Rhomney too

I think he DOES realize it. It seems that he also realized that he picked a running mate who out “mavericked” him. Palin’s unabashedly Conservative belief system, clearly spoke to many Americans, versus his Republican working with Dem’s schtick.
What a sad, bitter man.

Just another reason to like Sarah, IMHO.

No surprise here....Crist and Pawlenty are RINOs to the core.
They would appeal to a democrat like McCain.

You’d better leave then, because there has been MUCH worse said about Meagan McCain on this Forum.
