I feel the same, I like Levin and Beck. As far as McCain is concerned, I remember the sinking feeling I had when he started winning primaries. He had been a media darling, of sorts, and I couldn’t imagine the media making nice over a republican. I feel like the media selected him because they thought he couldn’t win.
In fairness, of all the Pubs the only one I sorta kinda liked was Hunter and he had all the charisma of a high school disciplinarian.
What McCain did for us, though, was give us Sarah and for that I'll be always grateful.
