U.S. Sen. John McCain won’t be backing former running mate Sarah Palin in the 2012 presidential race.
In fact, McCain told Politico.com he won’t be backing any other candidates as Republicans look to defeat President Barack Obama.
“I think I’m staying out of this for the first time in many years,” McCain told the news website this week.

I agree
And it won’t be a conservative, that much I know
Interesting. We can all speculate about why he won’t support her. Maybe he knows he isn’t popular and wants to remove as much as possible any connection between them to give her a chance?
Just damn. A shame that McQueeg didn't say this about running for the Senate again.
The pretending is over. I'm all yours now Barry.
take your football and go home , John. We don’t want sore loser’s like you,around in 2012.
He’s an older version of Charlie Crist.
I think Jorge Arbusto also recently announced he’s staying out of politics.
Glad to hear both of these millstones around our necks will be taking a backseat.
I’d rather they disappear altogether.
Obviously, he’s content with 0bama being re-elected, as he was content with 0bama being elected in ‘08.
It was a bitter day when McCain beat out JD Hayworth, but after making calls in JDs campaign office I knew as long as the senior citizens of AZ are still alive and voting, that is a lost cause. McCain should have been out back with the Keating 5, but he slid out of the noose then...

Translation: I'm running with Barry as his VP in 2012. There, fixed it.
The same drama has probably happened ten thousand times in human history. If Palin hadn't been loyal, I and many others would have lost some regard for her as Palin surely would have lost regard for herself. Pretty hard to live with oneself knowing one had betrayed loyalty and honor for self-advancement.
Yet knowing that being loyal could end up with harmful, disastrous consequences, a gamble on politics (McCain might not have been re-elected) and risking the wrath of critics.
I don't know what I'd have done in her shoes.
But I can imagine she might be breathing a sad sigh of thanks that McCain isn't going to back her.
Excellent wise words.
Yeah, no surprise on this one.
He don’t need no steenkin’ Palin.
LOL
From your lips to God's ears.
That is an absolutely disgusting picture. Sick.
Sorry, I don’t mean to jump on you, SotC! No, it’s just that ... iiiicccck. McCain sure maintains a low “personal space” zone. That’s scary.
