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 so wish he would, CT. That one man wrecking crew who delivers his pronouncements like something dragged out of Dr. Frankenstein’s lab.
Country first my behind. John McCain first is what he’s about.
It’s really not that complicated...

Thank you.
Let a thousand flowers bloom
Meaning
Encourage many ideas from many sources.
Origin
Let a thousand flowers bloom is a common misquotation of Chairman Mao Zedong’s “Let a hundred flowers blossom”. This slogan was used during the period of approximately six weeks in the summer of 1957 when the Chinese intelligentsia were invited to criticize the political system then obtaining in Communist China.
The full quotation, taken from a speech of Mao’s in Peking in February 1957, is:
“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land.”
It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. Whether or not it was a deliberate trap isn’t clear but it is the case that many of those who put forward views that were unwelcome to Mao were executed.

What kind of a moron thinks Bush’s ideological leanings have anything to do with the mess he made?
I’m guessing its the usual RINOs that don’t have the man parts to come right out and say they don’t want conservatives to do anything more than vote for them.
Wynn was pretty impressive today on Fox
To McCain, what’s this we thing?
Palin would contribute to a winning combination.
Juan McPain made her part of a whining combination NOT a winning combination.
Two letters make a HUGE difference.
NO MORE RINO WHINERS.
That is a very interesting choice of words.
The zero has destroyed our economy since it became obvious he was going to win, I hope people like you are unemployed the entire time Obama is President.
IMO, McCain was a Manchurian candidate. Obama, though, is just a useful idiot and a front for other more nefarious forces.
“let a thousand flowers bloom” Senator McCain (?-AZ)
May the fleas of a thousand hyenas infest your armpits,
you running dog & puppet of revanchist socialist lackeys!
> Liz Cheney / Steve Wynn 2012
Liz Cheney supports homosexual “marriage”. Her sister’s a lesbian. Blood’s thicker than water.
I ain’t supporting her.
Isn’t this the second presidential campaign for McCain?
it’s clear he doesn’t know how to do a successful campaign.
