He looked weak and cowardly ( no leadership when he voted with no speech , worse was afterward when he attacked the bill, and claimed he was different than GWB.
He should have stood up to GWB. He erased his summer lead that he got from showing leadership by joining house republicans on drilling.
But my question here is even bigger. Did republicans even deserve to win? And second, what if Hannity’s dream came true, and McCain won barely on Ayers and Wright alone, with a democrat majority? What do you think that presidency would be like? I would guess endless sellouts to democrats to try to appease the resentment. more fractured demoralized republicans. Another nightmare!
if mccain won, at least our troops would have a commander in chief they could trust. people forgot about this completely
