John McCain, your country is calling (WaPo cheers for McCain to pick next GOP presidential nominee)
The Washington Post ^ | 2010-08-27 | David S. Broder

Posted on 08/27/2010 4:49:07 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Now that John McCain has taken care of his political business in Arizona, it is time for him to return to Washington and the responsibilities he bears as a leader of the Republican Party and the nation.

(snip)

One of the conspicuous failings in the past few years has been the absence of a second party making principled decisions on when to support and when to oppose the president. McCain has the best opportunity -- and the best credentials -- to restore this.

(snip)

It is up to McCain to choose when and how to exert the influence he commands...

(snip)

Hardly less important is the role McCain can play within his own party. In Arizona, he successfully steered the GOP away from an experiment in extremism. He needs to do this nationally as well, including taking a potentially influential role in shaping the choice of the next presidential nominee.

He already did choose her: Her name is Governor Sarah Palin. Probably the only worthwhile thing he’s done since leaving Vietnam.

Yeah sure. Lets take advice from the enemy camp. I'm sure they mean well and have nothing but the Republican party's future at heart.

“PICK” the next GOP nominee.

To the WAPO and those who pay their pimps:

Damn you Statists. You have gotten so brazen that you now fell free to flaunt how you’ve gained control of our elections.

FUWAPO

He picked Sarah as running mate

Yeah, sure. Last I heard, Lieberman was McCain's first pick, not Palin.

Any serious 2012 presidential candidate should / will stay away or distance him/her-self from “Don” McCain’s endorsement.

Juan needs to keep quiet about a GOP candidate for President.

Any endorsement he might make would be the kiss of death.

"Last I heard, Lieberman was McCain's first pick, not Palin."

Was Senator Lieberman the Republican vice-presidential nominee in 2008? He may have preferred Teddy Kennedy or Olympia Snowe, but he named Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and therefore did a service to his country by introducing us to her. That and his naval service are the two positive things in his otherwise sordid career. BTW, what was your point, Mr. Third Party?

If he pushes Palin, watch how he suddenly becomes cultist hero.
