The issue, as Limbaugh pointed out, are these country club Republicans.
There was no way a Republican was going to win this year because of the unpopularity of President Bush, and the economy. McCain came close...AFTER he picked Palin. Coincidence? I think not.
But McCain was too interested in having the spotlight on himself. His grandstanding "suspending my campaign" thing was as much about getting attention away from PALIN as from Obama. As soon as it came over the radio, I said, "Oh, you just blew it, man." I could FEEL any confidence I had in this cruddy candidate drain away.
And now he will crawl back to the senate with the prize he REALLY wants--the love of democrats and Chrissy Matthews. I suspect he'll pout and run as an independent like his wished-for VP pick Joe Lieberman when it's time for his re-election bid.
While McCain is a great American, he's a crappy Republican...and unfortunately, there are a lot more just like him at the country club.
Cameron was enjoying giving this report way too much for me to believe what you are dishing.
He wasn’t passing on the news - he was gossiping with anonymous sources and having a great old time yakking at the backyard fence. This is not journalism, it is not NEWS. It’s slander.
I have not seen any of them willing to talk about the anonymous sources in respect to the seedier elements of Barack Obama the Messiah’s background.
Talk about a double standard.
I strongly disagree. If it was predestined for Obama to win, then why did McCain-Palin have a good lead in the polls right up to the financial crash? The election would have been close, but McCain did little or nothing to counter the impression that Republicans and "greedy" bankers aka more Republicans were responsible for the crash. In fact both McCain and Palin blamed "greedy" bankers too. It was only until it was too late did McCain meekly mention the FMs and who ran them. The crisis tipped the balance in Obama's favor, and McCain was totally inept at countering the Dem lies about who created it.
