WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. John McCain says he sees Sarah Palin continuing to play a major role in the future of the Republican Party.
McCain says he respects the decision that his 2008 vice presidential running mate made to resign as Alaska governor. The Arizona senator says people make decisions based on what's best for them and for their families.
And he says he thinks Palin "clearly" made the best decision. McCain says he thinks she will continue to be "a force" within the GOP.
Palin intends to write a book and try to build a right-of-center coalition. Her long-term political plans are unclear—and there's speculation about a possible a 2012 presidential bid.
McCain spoke in an interview broadcast Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union."

McCain has come to the sudden realization that he needs her to come and save his sorry a$$ in Arizona next year.
Well *that* was a bold, brave, and risky statement to make, Mr Johnny (Folds like a suit from a can) McCain..../s
Boy is this old jerk desperate to get reelected. He just threw the last six months of undermining her under the bus. The more I hear from him the more I am convinced he was part of the Obama Campaign all along.
McCain is back with his old friends at CNN shooting his mouth off again.
Someone, anyone tell McCain that his wad is shot. He’s yesterday’s newspaper. Bird cage liner material.
Seriously, McCain can’t win for nothing here at FR.
Ummm... just like he came to her aid. He is one sorry individual.
Not doubting you but we'll know for sure if the McCain daughter begins talking Palin up.
Now, exactly who is John McCain?
A correct statement from mccain and five dollars will get you a cup of coffee at StarFu*ks U
You can bet this comment was made after checking his polling numbers, and focus group meetings.
McCain must be desperate. What, is Chris Simcox gaining on him?
Is there anyone challenging him in primary?
John sees the train about to leave without him! I would have been more impressed if he had come aboard earlier!
True. A lot of us feel burned after campaigning for him while he treated us like Moe treated Curly.
DING DING DING!!!!
Wish everyone would get off the McCain slamwagon. There was no way in H... Obama wouldn’t steal the last election (remember ACORN?) I’m not a huge fan of McCain, but he’s a real American.
I see the Palin resignation as showing the socialists and statists have perfected a strategy for destroying good people who try to set government back in its proper bounds.
As the tagline says, I’m a simpleton. Please give the evidence that McCain “threw Palin under the bus”. Start with a single sentence. If that doesn’t do the job then put in a few more. I don’t want your opinion but rather the evidence.
