Wow. Way to stick your neck out, Mr. President.
You’d think he would come up with a better choice!
Might as well get the endorsement out of the way now, so that people forget about it by election day.
That Jorge is all abouts risks......
Thought this already happened in a interview.
Well, it’s what they do.
I guess we couln’t expect him to endorse Hitler or Hussein.
Must be strange for him to have to endorse the man who
has crossed him at every step of the way.
A Baker moderate endorsing a Baker moderate... Who’da thunk it?
Such leadership from Bush. Impressive. /s
Yep. Cause you know that McCain is enjoying every minute of this. He's been stewing since South Carolina 2000, and now, according to him, G.W. can lick his boots.
I just know it has crossed his mind.
He salivates at having the president get up on stage with
him and cowtow.
Well....politics/bedfellows. Gonna happen.
Wonder what kind of VP we will get...
It’s official. The Jennifer Duck Report has spoken.
*snicker*
I thought so, too. In the same interview where W said that McCain was a "true" "conservative".
This conservative is quite pleased that the President is going to stand with his party’s nominee.
I also sent money to McCain tonight. This country does not want to lose a war. I also thought McCain made an excellent point tonight about his opponents wanting to force companies to stay here in the US by raising their taxes.
I’m content tonight. I’m not only voting for McCain, I’m going to support him and do everything I can to get him elected. Those of you who wish to continue to complain about the perfect conservative you wanted elected should have been working harder from the onset.
McCain 2008.
His true personal feelings, either pro or con are not the issue for him, and shouldn't be for anyone else. Anyway, I doubt that he is really too terribly disappointed, or that this will upset him. He is a realist; this is the way it turned out, so he is going to deal with what needs to be done, and probably without harboring any emotional baggage. People try to turn everything into some emotional issue, and criticize based on "feelings." Bush, even when he has done things I have not agreed with, seems to be a man who looks at the whole picture, and does most things considering the duty of it, and not any picayune hurt feelings or past disagreements among his party members.
Its just a courtesy
Agreed. I have said before: The decision has been made. Time to move on and if we want to win the race we all need to get behind the wagon and push. We can’t sit it out on the sidelines because we don’t like the lead horse and let the whole team get stuck in the road.
