Appearing on CNN's "State of the Union," the Arizona Republican said: "When we selected, or asked, Sarah Palin to be my running mate, it energized our party. We were ahead in the polls, until the stock market crashed. And she still is a formidable force in the Republican Party. And I have great affection for her. Will Sarah and I - did we always agree on everything in the past? Will we in the future? No. But let's let a thousand flowers bloom. Let's come up with a winning combination next time."

I’m taking a contrary view on McCain’s 1,000 flowers comment: We’ve already experienced a de facto Marxist coup. Thus, those who side with Palin are indeed the dissenters.
I think this message was deliberate and McCain’s way of saying backing Palin is the way out.
Crazy? Maybe. But whatever his shortcomings, McCain does care about the country and it’s people. Remember him telling people to ‘fight for her’ [the US] prior to the election? There was also video BOR aired shortly before the election where McCain looked into the camera and said he’d never allow another holocaust. It seems to me that McCain knows exactly what’s been going on and is doing his best.
Freepers, save your ire and ammunition [verbal, voting, donations for candidates] for the real enemies of the US constitutional republic.
And you're saying we're supposed to award points for effort only?
Sarah Palin knows better than to tiptoe around the political enemies within our borders.
Nah. Just pointing out that there are worse people out there to worry about.
He does not qualify for some sort of prize based on effort or speaking, like our Dear Leader!
What’s this we shit?
Crawl in a hole and die McCain!
“3rd party time ...”
Do that and you will live the rest of your life under the dictatorship of obama!
Actually, Al-lah is the pagan moon god / cult that occupied Mecca prior to Mohamed’s recorded fantasy. But your point is taken, both the Jews and Christians in Arabia at that time knew that Mohamed’s lies about being the same god were just that ... lies.
There is no “next time,” McJuan, you loser.
Just...go...away. Take your Rinoette daughter with you.
Chortle. No comment.
Wow! I can't believe I typed that.
Uh, I don’t think you speak for me or anyone else.
Yes, DeMint.
DeMint/Palin
“Liars always plant flowers around the BS”
-—you gotta admit it makes the flowers grow.....
please delete that graphic (at least the mc cain part)! “ :0
I think McCain thinks he was being sarcastic and going over Palin’s intellectual level with a remark like that... like how some folks speak on one level to an insoucient fool while conveying an entirely different meaning to other “in the know folks” within earshot!
...have less to do with being a great leader.
Courage, convictions, vision are the key elements.
DeMint could be her Cheney/Biden, but it’d be awfully tough for a Senator who is fairly new to politics to break through at the top of the ticket.
It was Sarah that I voted for last time. That old coot just managed to be on the ticket with her.
In other words he did just the exact opposite of what the zero is doing.
Enjoy your 4 years of unemployment, and if you get your way 8!
It's funny (and ironic) that the same people who would strike because their union wouldn't overpay them $50 are hour and now ecstatic that obama is paying them $50 a week in unemployment. All hail the liberal intellect!
I'm curious. What makes you think I am supporting Obama?
I agree John. Of course, the winning combination is one that doesn't have "McCain" in the name.
