To be fair to McCain, Bush’s approval rating made it such that unless the Democrats nominated John Edwards (whose sex scandal got exposed after the party’s nation convention) or someone similar, about no Republican was going to win that race. The country was ready to kick the GOP out of the White House big time.

He was in on the plan to lose. He thought asking a little known governor from Alaska would make sure he would lose but the plan almost backfired.

How many here voted more for Palin than McStain? I live in AZ and I have never voted for this putz for anything. Well, in 2007 for Prez, but like I said; it was for Palin not him.

As a senator he would say whatever the public wanted to hear to get elected then do the opposite. I can’t believe there are so many stubbornly ignorant people in this state.

I’ve come to the conclusion that we should have voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.

Sarah the barracuda almost pulled him yelling and screaming across the finish line....

I liked Sarah, but I’m glad McCain lost. I’m glad Romney lost too. We ended up with Trump, so having Obama for 8 years was worth it.

I remember driving home from a job in northern NH and listening to the returns from one of the primaries. I got home and told my wife that Obama did not say much, but he said it better than anyone has in years.

McCain never should have stopped campaigning. That was a mistake. But he was never going to win. Never.

The real kicker was when he told a voter in Minnesota that obama “was a good man” and woukd be a fine president.

I voted for McCain in the 2008 general election. I was very frustrated because I thought at the time that if McCain’s campaign staff had fought Obama with the same vigor as they attacked their own vice presidential candidate, McCain would have won.

As bad as the Obama administration was, I now wonder if the 2008 election was a blessing in disguise. I greatly fear what the bitter, treacherous and vindictive man that John McCain has revealed himself to be might have done with the power of the Presidency.

McCain would have been just as bad a POTUS as 0bama and would have destroyed the Republican party for good by signing an amnesty bill

Thank You for bring out those facts again conservative98.

Sarah actually cared about winning in 2008. That enthusiasm was and is infectious.
