Only not a gaffe because most people won’t care.
I thought McCain left a point on the table there. He could have asked why an IL state senator’s opinion would matter on such an issue, and what did he risk by opposing it.
I agree, Mac definitely missed a chance there. But I was disappointed that Brit or the panel didn’t bring it up.
It may not be a true gaffe, per se, but at the very least BO is trying to make it seem like he’s got more US Senate experience than he does. Either way, he should be called on it. Oh well.
